    1. Recent Dreams

      by , 10-13-2011 at 09:47 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Task of the Year: Nightmare On Elm Street
      I am in high school, walking down one of the hallways with lockers on both sides of the hall. I am looking for my own locker, and I can't remember where the locker is, but I know I am late heading to my next class. I am getting frustrated with finding my locker and feeling rather stupid… but finally I find it. Great… now I can't remember the combination. I take a hair pin from the floor and start trying to pick the lock to my own locker. It opens and I see my books on the bottom, and there is a kid that looks to be about 8 years old impaled on the coat hanger on the back of the locker. And he is still alive, he is weakly trying to get down, blood coming from his mouth in strangled gasps… A gloved hand explodes through the boy's chest, there are knives on the glove like in Nightmare On Elm Street. The boy's body is broken in half and pulled through a hole in the back of the locker. I look through the hole and see something on the other side, a figure that has some resemblance to Freddy Krueger, but is even uglier and more disgusting… he is eating the flesh off of the boy's arm. He looks up at me and snarls in a horrible grin. Thoughts of Freddy Krueger lead to thoughts of dream demons and thoughts of dreaming… I can fight this guy… this is my dream! I move closer to the hole in the locker and Freddy reaches through to grab hold of me. I grab his hand before he can stab me with the knives and I will not let go, I twist it in a martial arts move and flip him over. The glove comes off in my hands, he glares at me and the dream shifts.

      I am now at what looks like a mining site of some kind, I am still holding Freddy Krueger's glove in my hands, but now I see that I am not alone. There are a couple of men there with me, they are getting really close and hot and heavy with each other. They are kissing very passionately and feeling each other up… then they see me and cool it a bit. One of them, a black guy, says the two of them are ready to come out of the closet. Where did Freddy Krueger go? I don't care if these guys are gay or not… I want to find that dream demon. Well, I don't have long to wait. The ground starts to rumble and shake and then a huge worm / snake thing with the face of Freddy Krueger erupts from the ground and bites on to the black guy.

      The other guy, a white guy, screams no over and over again, jumping up and down in place like a scared little girl. I still have Freddy's glove… I use the glove and sink the knives into the neck of the worm thing, making it roar in anger and pain and spit the guy out. He is covered in brown goop but seems unharmed. The guy's boyfriend hugs him and now they are both covered in goop. I am focused more on Freddy. He is trying to maneuver around and bite me, but the knives of the glove are imbedded in the thing's neck and I am holding on to that. So his moving around succeeds only in cutting him deeper. I focus on the song Damage Inc. by Metallica to send fire energy right through the glove and into the worm creature. The thing erupts into flames from the inside out and is gone in a blaze of fire which somehow doesn't burn me. I look to see if the two men are alive and they are making love on the ground… naked… covered in goop… yuck… not something I want to see so I wake up.

      Viral
      I am in a strange underground cavern which I somehow know is located underneath MoSh's inner world, and things have gone very wrong there lately. I look around and see I am in what appears to be a central chamber with many smaller caves branching off to the sides in various directions. Data is suspended in the middle of the room by a vast array of colorful wires which seem to be connecting him to every corner of the cavern and beyond. I have the idea that all of these twisted wires and cables are connecting Data to every aspect of MoSh's inner world. But there is something wrong. Data does not look right, in fact he looks stark raving mad. His eyes have a flashing red glow to them, there is smoke rising from several of the places where the wires are connected to him, and he is laughing maniacally. He seems to not have noticed me. I move towards Data, wondering what is wrong, and he finally notices me and announces I have great timing and I am about to witness the birth of a new era, where all will be perfection and there will be no flaws. Wtf? Apparently Data has lost it… I ask him what he is talking about… he said everything that is flawed will be purged and replaced with pure perfection. I notice that he is also talking strange… "All in the-the-the world that is fla-a-awed will be pur-pur-ged and repla-ce-ce-ce-d with pure per-fect-fect-perfection!" Stuttering beyond belief. Maybe he has a virus? But there's no way he could have a virus… he has penticon CPUs… they don't get viruses, do they? Only one way to find out. I use the penticon processor I have implanted in my head to generate nanites. I send the nanites through one of the cables near me that is connected to Data. Apparently Data registered the intrusion at the last minute, he tries to block the nanites out by disconnecting many of the wires, but it's too late. The nanites are already inside. And there is a virus! The virus has programmed Data to see all biological living beings as flawed and thus must be eliminated, he apparently tried to eliminate Asuka… where is she now? Data doesn't know. That could be a good thing… the last Data saw she was ok at least. I direct the nanites to delete the virus from Data's programming and restore him to optimum operating conditions… and then stick around and act as an anti-virus for Data in the future.

      Sweet Sacrifice
      I am in a forest walking along a path that has been clearly marked out through the trees. The path looks heavily traveled, there are many footprints heading both directions. I follow the path for a short ways and find there is a small town at one end that looks like something out of a RPG fantasy game. I decide I want to see where the other direction of the path leads before talking to anyone in the village, so I turn and leave before anyone sees me. I hear someone over there is arguing… and I listen in… and it seems some woman is pissed off because she doesn't think her son should be the one to be sent to satisfy the demon… I follow the trail in the other direction, maybe I can see what is going on. The trail leads through a very pleasant forest, the sounds of the birds singing, the wind in the trees… someone screaming in agony… wait… not such a nice sound… I hurry along the path and find a shrine at the end of it. There is a woman there, she looks like a hooker… scantily dressed and appearing sexy, long black hair, unnaturally white skin, bright red lips…

      and there is a young man chained to what appears to be an altar. He sees me arrive and can't seem to decide if he wants me to help him or run for my life. The woman has razor sharp finger nails and she uses one to cut a square of skin off the man's chest which she eats in the manner a seductress would eat a particularly tantalizing piece of chocolate. The man screams in pain, which she seems to enjoy as much as the food. She asks if I came to watch or if I want to join in. She laughed. She said leave or I would be dessert. I tell her that could never happen, she can't take me. She seems annoyed at the challenge… she says she hasn't had a fool villager challenge her for a long time, this will be fun. She attacks me, her finger nails grow into massive talons, apparently she thinks she will just rip me open. Epic fail. I form Witchblade into a sword and relieve her of her head. How pathetically weak for a demon… I set the prisoner free just before I wake up

      EVE: Fox In The Hole

      I am inside a game of EVE Online and I am flying a drake loaded down with heavy missile launchers. Furthermore, I am pissed off. I am pissed off at another player by the username of Foxtrot 02 for recently putting me in a very uncomfortable position involving secrets and backstabbing against the CEO of our online corporation… that gets too convoluted to get into here, suffice it to say I am out for blood. I am flying my drake from asteroid belt to asteroid belt in the solar system Kaaputenen which is where Fox usually hangs out. I finally find him in one of the asteroid belts in his retriever mining some pyro from a couple asteroids.

      Normally I am not in favor of attacking an unarmed mining ship, but in this case I make an exception. I open fire on Fox's retriever with a barrage of missiles. He launches his drones, but the drones are barely launched before my missiles wipe his retriever from existence. Fox's pod is now floating in space. Boom! I blast the pod before he can warp away. In the chat window I see Fox is cursing fluently at me, I tell him that's what he gets for the position he put me in. He says I will pay for that and then goes silent. Shortly later Fox warps back into the asteroid belt, this time he is in a tengu…

      which is an advanced battleship. Wait a minute… Fox can't fly a tengu! But there it is… While I am wondering how it is even possible he blows up my drake. I launch in my fire valkyrie instead of my pod, however. Now it is his turn to pull a "wtf" and have the hesitation prove fatal. I blast his tengu into debris. I then blast his pod. Ha! That's twice, Fox! I blasted you twice! Ship and pod both times! You should count yourself double podded!
    2. 2 Dreams and half a Lucid

      by , 10-13-2011 at 09:31 AM
      Dream 1
      I was in The Wire chilling with Chris Partlow for a drug delivery/ waiting to get picked upby Marlo. It was dark and there were 2 street lights as we stood in a corner waiting.



      Dream 2

      I was boarding a plane to Hawaii (sweet right?) and there was some turbulence. It was dark and stormy outside we had to do an emergency landing.

      We went outside and some alien monsters were attacking us we had to fight them off. The natives there were brainwashed or fooled, because the aliens made themselves to seem like heroes protecting the island when they were actually killing off the population.


      It seemed it was all a plan to get us to be fed to the aliens from the emergency landing even the air hosts were brainwashed and serving the aliens.

      I tried to escaped to a plane on the island a few times but everytime they caught me and made me retreat. Eventually I got to the plane and when I ran through the doors I was in my house, once again I ran through the doors and was outside. I was being chased by the aliens.

      I saw a British Gas van and ran in to the passenger seat. I saw one of my media teachers run out of my house too. I waited 3 seconds but thought forget it I wanna live so I drove away. I could feel the steering wheel and the cramped space of the van. I drove to a motorway and told myself I was lucid and "when I open my eyes I will be in a futuristic city".

      When I opened my eyes I was there the surroundings where white and bright almost pristine clean. I then wanted to fly so my van turned into a bike and it had rockets on the back, I flew up and then the dream fades.

      Side Notes

      I'm sure it's a WILD as my mum told me to wake up but I went back to sleep.
    3. Close the Eyes To See With The Third!

      by , 10-13-2011 at 06:40 AM (Choi's Journey of the Conscious Mind)
      [COLOR="red"]Lucid[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="blue"]Dream[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="silver"]Thoughts[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="lightblue"]Hypnagogic
      [/COLOR]

      [COLOR="silver"]This morning I actually got a lucid moment, so I would count that as a success and now I also know how I do it. So I learned something new today :) And this timer setup was with no doubt the best.[/COLOR]

      [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]2557[/ATTACH][/CENTER]
      [COLOR="blue"]I dreamt that I was a smuf character and Gargamel was chasing me. I were on a graveyard and his cat was looking for me. I was hiding with the other smurfs in a plant, but Gargamal had hypnotised humans to look for us. So we were really scared. One of the smurfs started to run and he revealed where we was. So we had to run too.
      I was chased by the cat and I were jumping longjump on the gravestones.[/COLOR]

      [COLOR="silver"]I woke up to the first alarm, swtiched position and fell asleep.[/COLOR]

      [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]2558[/ATTACH][/CENTER]
      [COLOR="blue"]I was in a car and we were running from something (not as a smurf this time). And I challenged to help a guy drive the car, who didn't had a driverslicense, so I had to use the double commando on the right side in the right seat. He wasn't a bad driver so I barely needed to help him, but it was a scary dream, because he drove fast![/COLOR]

      [COLOR="silver"]I woke up again to the timer and now I felt so tired that I just closed my eyes and relaxed.[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="lightblue"]I started to see my thoughts vividly and didn't even had to concentrate to make them appear. It was so vivid, I saw a guy and I heard him say "We need to run!"[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="blue"]It was now a dream, and even though I didn't realised that I said "What! Not a chase again like my other 2 dreams..." "Common!" he yelled. Then I were doing le parkour through a city, it looked like Russia or something like that.[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="red"]I stopped and realised that my thoughts were now so vivid that it must be a dream "Because I were in my bed before" I thought. I started to think on what I wanted to dream.
      And in a blink the dream changed.

      I was now standing in Gryffindoors door room, but it didn't looked anything like it, although I was convinced that it looked like that while in the dream. Then I went down to the great hall, by involuntary teleporting down there. I saw the sky in the sealing, but I got to foccused in the dream or something, because I lost my lucidity.[/COLOR][COLOR="blue"]I saw a skatingramp and Bam Magera, he said that it was his birthday and the whole school singed "Happy Birthday" to him. For some reason there was a stage that I got up on, and I started to play guitar songs like Green Day - TIme of your life, Oasis - Wonderwall. and Bam got a birthday present, a bulletproof vest... [/COLOR]

      [COLOR="silver"]I know now that all I have to do to get a lucid dream with the timer method, is to close my eyes and be aware of what I see. So I have to learn to get more aware on the awakenings.
      It's like I am getting so tired that it's almost impossible to stay awake and I start to dream immediatelly. I will see if this work tomorrow as well, even if it was a short lucid dream. I am going to try the looking at the hands stabilisation technique, because that's a way to just stand still and not get involved with the dream again.[/COLOR]

    4. 11/10/11 Tuesday DILD - Aliens in the Institute

      by , 10-13-2011 at 05:25 AM
      Lucid
      Dream
      Non-Dream


      I was at my Nanny’s house. There was a toddler/baby there that I was to look after. We had fun singing Fireflies by Owl City in the garage and playing on bikes and scooters in the driveway. But then it began to rain. The rain was torrential. My Nanny put the baby in a cot/box, but it began to fill with water and the baby began to drown. With little time to spare, I picked up the baby and held it upright, banging on its back so that it coughed up water. It was then that I was captured.

      I was in some kind of large building/institute. There were many people my age. I was waiting in line for something that everybody wanted desperately, but I was towards the back of the line. I decided to hop out of line and go sit in a corner by myself. It was just my luck that the head of the institute called random people close to him up, because I was sitting on the edge of his office/platform. With the selected few, he decided to send us on a mission.

      Aliens. Our mission was to investigate and befriend aliens. This went quite smoothly at first. My team and I continued along on foot and found a few aliens. Some of the team were given special upgrades such as wolverine claws or sticky gummy string that came out of their hands. But when we went on the boat to find a certain type of alien, it all went wrong. The aliens looked like red daleks with three heads. Not the robot daleks, the flesh on the inside. The aliens were in a red blimp in the sky. The girl with string powers tried to fly her string up, but it was too short. Somehow, she figured out how to stretch it, and wrapped her string around a tube above her from which she swung herself up like Tarzan would swing from a vine.

      I ran. I jumped. I was going to escape these terrible aliens. I don’t know how I knew they were terrible, I just knew. Somehow, I was teleported to the place in the institute where they held the trouble makers/evil children. I sat next to a girl with wolverine claws. There were lots of aliens around me that we had already researched. I got up to go investigate. There was a passage way with an adult and a small army in neat rows. Somehow I knew that the terrible red aliens would give an electric shock and do something to them, so I yelled out. But they wouldn’t listen, so I ran. It was too late. I was shocked by the wave. It appeared to be electric yellow sparks buzzing around everybody and everything. However, the wave only caused me to keep repeating my previous actions, like a glitch. I figured out how to bypass it, and then fixed the girl with wolverine claws. It was quite a task managing not to get cut by her claws.

      Time jumped. I was on the second level of the institute. My friend Amsie was bragging about what she could do in a dream. She was talking about going to the dream academy and air bending. ‘Pfft, I already know about that!’ I thought. Then she continued talking about finding the portal to the dream academy. That was what triggered me to become lucid. I quickly pinched my nose and found I could breathe in. My dream was becoming unstable so I rubbed my hands together which began to fix the problem. Racing down the stairs I held onto the cool metal of the stair railing, gaining awareness of my surroundings. I examined the person in front of me in detail, indulging myself in my surroundings. Forgetting my dream goals, I decided to fly. It was quite easy, but I had a nagging feeling like I was forgetting something. I decided then that I wanted to try something that I hadn’t succeeded with for ages. I went down the stairs and pictured my friend coming around the next corner. They did, but they ran away and I never caught their face. I kept chasing but they disappeared every time I caught a glimpse of them. I believe this made me lose my lucidity somewhat.

      All were called to arms. Everybody was in the institute and grabbed their backpacks from the massive towers that held backpacks. We all jumped up to the third floor of the institute. I followed an boy, even though he was slow because his backpack was heavy. I didn’t take a backpack because I figured it was a dream and I wouldn’t need it. We ran along a metal grid towards something.

      Side notes: This was the only night since discovering Dream Views that I did not attempt any lucid dream induction techniques. I recall briefly focusing on a dream recall mantra, but nothing else. Next time I will lay out in my mind very clearly what goals I wish to achieve in my next lucid dream. In relation to the friend who ran away, I have received advice from a few Dream Views members and believe that I will be able to handle the situation better next time.
    5. 8/10/11 Assortment of dream scenes

      Lucid
      Dream
      Non-Dream


      I was in a dark room sitting on my bunk bed. I was talking on my computer to a mother on drugs with young kid. She was asking me for advice. She sent to my laptop a picture of a white, fluffy ragdoll cat sitting on the sand at the beach.

      The scene changed and I was at small shop with James and Claire, my 9 year old brother and 13 year old sister. It was still night time. There were different teams of kids attacking me. Each wore different colours to signify what team they were in (white/black striped, pure black, ect.). There was lots of yelling and shouting, but I realised very quickly that they were just playing. I scrambled to hide in the kitchen area against the counter, but it was not a good hiding place. I was spotted instantly and shot by some kids. However, the bullets were not real and did not harm me.

      The scene changed again. I was at some kind of strange airport on a runway. For unknown reasons, I grabbed a trailer that was on the runway and dragged it at an impossibly fast speed. I felt as if I was going faster than I have ever travelled in my life. But I couldn’t stop. Fear built up in my chest as I put my feet to the ground in attempt to slow myself. The trailer and I had not slowed in the slightest. All of a sudden, I swung the trailer around on its side with impossible strength. I had saved myself just in time.

      The scene changed once more. I was about to enter a pool resort with my hockey team. My hockey coach told me that I had to have the first ice bath and gave me a bobby pin made out of white cotton to signify this (at my previous hockey tournament we had to take ice-baths after each game. I always dreaded these). My coach (Emma), said that I had to have the first ice bath because she noticed on the last day of the hockey tournament that I looked at her and then pretended I didn’t see her because I didn’t want an ice bath. When we entered the pool resort, I noticed that the whole ground was covered in pools of different sizes and shapes. However, all were the same light blue pool colour. They seemed to be mostly undercover because there were shade tents permanently strung up above the pool. There were a couple of ice baths floating in the pool area. They were very strange white buckets that seemed to already be filled with pool water because they were mostly submerged. I looked around, but when I looked at the ice bath I wanted to go in, there were suddenly many guys surrounding it. I wanted to be with my hockey team, so I looked around for a different ice bath. Sighting one near my team, I swam over to it and hopped in. I was quite surprised when it was not cold in the slightest. I realised that it had been in the sun and all the ice had melted and turned into warm water. It was almost like a spa. My hockey manager (Katrina) came along with a glass of red cordial. I let it rest in the pool water and the pool water filled the cup.

      The scene changed again. I was at a Woolworths store (grocery store) and I entered through the side door near the back. In front of me there was a flour packet that was labelled strangely. For some reason, I knew in contained some kind of illegal drug so I opened it and tipped it out into the bin. Then I picked up a newspaper and placed it in a red Woolworths basket with the empty flour packet. Suddenly, a grouchy Woolworths employee came along and asked what I did. I confessed, thinking that I would be congratulated, but he gave me a piece of paper that meant I was to be fined $1. I didn’t pay it, instead I ran out of the shop.

      The scene changed into some kind of starry room or theatre. I suddenly realised that I might be dreaming and I attempted to jump off the ground. However, the ground wouldn’t let me and instead it made me become heavier and I got a sinking feeling. It felt a little bit like trying to jump on a trampoline when somebody else is jumping in a different rhythm. My thoughts were somewhere along the lines of ‘oh I have to make sure I don’t lose lucidity and stay focused’, but I still got distracted easily.

      The scene changed once more. I was in this huge U shaped area with two round sections on either side with a joining at the bottom. There were all these curtains and holes in the wall around. I knew that this was a bad place. The fear did not creep up on my slowly, instead it hit me instantly. There were these alien/evil tentacle things that were slowly braiding themselves into plaits from the holes in the wall. Somehow all the DCs around me and I had seen this dream or situation before and we knew that we had to find the right plait and pull it from the hole. But the plait we thought was correct was in fact, incorrect. It was a risk to pull the plaits because you didn’t know what would come out the other end. Although most of the plaits led to nothing, there were some that lead to not-so-nice things. But we didn’t realise this until later. It was also difficult to pull the plaits as they were heavy. But I was quite strong, sometimes pulling three at once. It was then that we realised that some plaits had very bad creatures at the end called Furies. They were very large witches/hags that came in different colours. I same a splotchy turquoise one and a deep pink one. Once we realised we were pulling a Fury, we stopped pulling and backed away. However, the Fury still inched slowly forward, and eventually it would be free of the curtain. We had to find the right plait before it was too late.

      Side note: I suspect that this wasn't all one long, continuous dream. It was probably several dreams, but I wrote this in the morning when I woke up so I could not distinguish where one dream ended and the next began. I am quite impressed with my dream recall for this night. I am going to continue to copy and paste my entries from previous dreams until I catch up to the present.

    6. double consciousness

      by , 10-13-2011 at 12:45 AM
      I began to drift off to sleep one night, and i began to feel aware of my presence in two separate places. one was me sleeping on the bed, the other was me sitting on the edge of my bed. i felt completely in control of both, in a very calm state of mind. using the one sitting up, i leapt off my bed, and crouched down on the floor, pausing a moment to stabilize the dream. i made a sword materialize on my back, able to define every detail of it. my thought drifted to my baby brother for a moment, and i found myself outside a hotel room, it was snowing. i looked through the window, and saw my stepfather holding my brother, my mother on the bed with my other brothers. i felt a sense of dread as i realized i wasnt there. i realized this was my family without me. feeling endangered, i ducked around the corner, slipping and falling. i concentrated on my other consciousness, and woke up. this was a great step for me in lucid dreaming and controlling myself.

    7. School of the dead/ Dog race!

      by , 10-12-2011 at 02:26 PM (My Dream World)
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I think I woke up and entered another dream. I was in my town, in the local square. I think I was looking for someone who I could borrow some money from to buy a game. For some reason I saw... Spongebob and asked him if I could borrow some money. He joked and said he had no money, them he tried to hide his wallet (which was full of money) from me. He them gave me 50 reais (Brazil's currency) and said something that I can't remember right now. I think that at this point the dream skipped. I was at my school talking to a friend of mine and he told me I was dead. We walked around the school and he was explaining things to me. Apparently this was some kind of school where dead people go to. He said there was no way that I could come back to life. I asked him if he was sure and said yes. I them asked if he had asked that to God (or something like that). He went to the bathroom and I was waiting to him, when some bully appeared and started annoying my friend. I was angry and tryed kicking him but the kick went pretty slow and basically had no effect. He laughed and went away. I tried firing a kamehameha at him from afar but missed by a few inches. I guess that scared him off tough. I told my friend that I managed to fire a kamehameha and he was impressed. I tryed firing a kamehameha from my mouth (I'ma firing my lazor style) but ran out of oxygen and failed.
      Shortly after that I woke up and went to sleep again.
      This time I was only a spectator. I was watching some kind of dog race. I remember that they were choosing a dog to chase the bunny or something like that. I also remember that this dog had to pick up some kind of diploma or something like that. That's about all I can remember from that night.
      I forgot to hunt Blue because I wasn't very aware on that dream, but at least I completed one of my dream goals-firing a Kamehameha! My next dream goal is finding Blue.

    8. WILD double

      by , 10-12-2011 at 02:19 PM
      Well I couldn't get to sleep at all. I went to bed fairly early, but tosses and turned for hours. It was 1:30 (2 and a half hours later) that I guess I fell asleep.
      No dreams during that time, I woke up by my default body clock at 5 for my WBTB. I wasn't feeling up to it so I just lay in bed for that hour.

      I then tosses and turned for another hour, I just couldn't get to sleep, I wasn't tired at all but I was feeling weak.
      Eventually I did lie still and close my eyes, focus my breathing and slipped into a dream

      ******
      I was in my back garden, on the sort of barbecue area we have set up. A few of my classmates were there with me, I think we were discussing some homework we had.
      Then my mother handed me a big loaf of bread through the window of our house. When I got a hold of it I got lucid and immediately identified this. I moved around swiftly touching the table and stamping my feet, trying to ground myself. I saw a DC and touched their arm, and when I did they changed into someone I actually knew. I could feel vibrations throughout and my vision was quite clear, except I was in a total rush to try to stabilize, as my other "lucids" have been short and sharp, with no time to stabilize. This seems to have been my downfall as I just lost it a little while after.

      ******

      I was on my side in bed, and I looked at my clock, I had been dreaming for 15 minutes, it seemed like a brief pause and then 15 seconds of dreaming. I lay still again, repeated, and I slipped into another dream.

      ******
      This time I was in a super market, quite like my local one, except the stock on sale and the colours were wrong. I again tried to quickly stabilize by doing everything that came to mind. This included-
      Running up to a DC and climbing up them to get up onto a shelf, then reaching up to the ceiling panels and removing one, then climbing up into it
      I remember not knowing what to expect, and when I got up there I was looking at some people in a group circle, like rehab or an AA meeting. It looked as bland as the shop did. I then just lost it there

      ******

      Sleep for an hour, then I had to get up for school.
      I'm counting the first as a lucid WILD, but not the second, as the second one had less control and was only clinging onto the back end of the 1st one. I'm happy I managed it but not so happy that it happened not as I intended.

    9. Fully Lucid Again (Finally!)

      by , 10-12-2011 at 02:02 PM
      So guys I haven't been lucid in months..but i decided to do reality checks again and to make an effort be lucid in my dreams again 2 days ago..so just a couple mins ago i had a lucid dream..at first i wasn't lucid and i was stuck in some kind of story..i kinda forgot wat it was about but wen i found that i was dreaming by looking at the clock and it was changing..and my hands looked the same but felt weird i knew i was dreaming..once i knew i was dreaming i touched everything the wall everything..it all felt soo real and looked so real and cleare once i started focusing in on the dream while keeping my lucidity..i started thinking hmmm wat should i do now that im lucid? so i had an idea i thought about my boyfriend VJ and he suddenly appeared sitting in front of a computer in my house i run up to him and hug him and tell him this is a dream (he is also lucid in dreams at times) so then i go outside with him and start flying and i was trying to teach him how to fly but he somehow couldn't do it yet..so then he suddenly fades away as im flying flying and stepping on the roof of buildings etc..i suddenly think hmm it's a long time i haven'e seen nate AKA Waking Nomad since in real waking life i moved back to New Jersey from Hawaii..so then i thought where are you nate? and then i suddenly saw him with a group of people..I saw Nate smoking with a bong..so then I walked up to their group and called out "Nate!" he stood up and looked at me..i couldn't tell if he didn't recognize me or he didn't remember me..either way i somehow took a hat off and said it's me Jo Anna..he then remembered who i was and said this: "What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here unless you're a 2.0 dreamer" I don't know wat that meant..but in the dream i asked "How do i become a 2.0 dreamer then?" Then a girl in the group said: "You have to read this book" She pointed to some kind of history book it looked to me..and kind of thick..Every time I would look at the words/numbers it would change..I asked "How am I going to read this book in a dream?" I got the sense I have to read that book in waking life..im not sure..but i don't remember the full title of the book..The girl in the group was writing the title down for me on a piece of paper..I couldn't understand some of her writing since it was sloppy..i can't believe someone had more bad penmanship than me i didn't think it was possible..but anyways since i couldn't quite see clearlr of her writing i teleported myself somekind of pen a blu pen..i looked at the space on the table next to me..looked away imagining there's a pen there..and sure enough i got wat i wanted just by imagining it's there wen it wasn't there in the beginning..i got the pen and started writing the title on the piece of paper next to where the girl was writing the title as well..she gave me a grin wen i got myself a pen for some reason..lol..but anyways i was trying to copy the title of the book but every time i accidentally look away some of the letters would change..all I remember is one word to the title started with an "S" and there were a lot of U's H's and T's in the word that started with an "S"..I just don't remember the title..I hope WakingNomad or whoever reads this to help me decipher what he meant by 2.0 dreamer and wat kind of book..lol

      by , 10-12-2011 at 01:57 PM
      I am Ice skationg without any skates, I immedietely stop and realize that its a dream. I pinch myself and fly through the roof, I decided to make a future list of the events in my dream.
      Step 1.) Fly
      Step 2.) Do Drugs
      Step 3.) Snowboard
      So I am flying around and having an awesome time, so I decide to move on to step 2, I fly to a valley to search for psychadelic mushrooms. I am weaving through a creek searching diligently But my mind cannot remember any more ....

      I had a dream earlier that night about a long journey up a mountain, So We arrive late at a old house. I am not sure where it is or why we are there but my parents tell me to wait for them to return, I wait for a day and decide to go after them. I am trotting up the mountain finding full cancer sticks and smokin em. I eventually giveup and wait near a creek. They never came back...

      regular lucid
      WBTB that collapsed and was reentered as an accidental, unintentional WILD

      I slept from 4pm till 7 pm. Got up, watched the TV, had dinner, glass of wine, read the DV - AL3ZAY's "My WBTB Lucid Dreaming Techniques & Tip For Re-Entering A Collapsed Lucid Dream" tutorial, forgott to RC all day). Went back to bed at 10.40pm, feeling sleepy.

      Woke up at 11.35pm after 2 LDs - second was reentered, after first one collapsed, thanks to AL3ZAY's WBTB tutorial on reentering collapsed dream).

      Regular dream: Coming to a friends house. Lots of people inside, some kind of celebration. Walking through many rooms, getting a bad feeling. Trying to leave, somebody is trying to stop me. Finding a window and floating out. (Since started reading DV, I fly very easily just floating, before had to put some effort to it).

      Suddenly at my house. Hopped on a fence, realized I'm lucid. (First time that became lucid without looking at my hand). Started spinning to stabilize, but remembered, that in AL3ZAY's tutorial he spins to the left, so I changed direction and spun to the left. Licked the wall and ate a piece of a plant (didn't taste anything). Did RC finger through palm (my very first finger/palm RC. It really felt like my palm was from play-doh, strange feeling). Someone walked by my room and the footsteps woke me up. Dream mustn't have been stable enough, because also had not much clarity. Again, from the tutorial, I remembered how to reenter the dream. Stayed motionless with eyes closed. Started to have the strangest feeling of sinking into my bed really deep and keep sinking. I realized, somebody is screaming and woke up a little bit, when I recognized, that it was me screaming (silently), accompanied with a shrinking feeling). I let go of it and continued sinking into my bed. It was, as if my bed was 10 feet deep. Woke up on a sidewalk of a very busy town. I was excited and said Hi to a little girl, that was part of a larger group of people. She looked at me as if saying - get over it, you are not the first, and I'm getting tired of you guys getting so excited and talking to me. Behind me was a large area, looked like park/parking lot with a fountain, on left side was a big shopping center, in front of me was a row of tall buildings, and on the right side was a cathedral. All buildings were touching each other and looking crammed. I decided to walk towards the shopping center, but my idea was more to walk away from the cathedral. Then some nun bumped into me and I felt a pinch on my shoulder. People stopped and I was asking them what did she do. Then I was in different part of the town, less people, nighttime. I looked up and saw the moon. Decided to go there. Started lifting up. There were thousands of space ships, shuttles, satellites and stars were beautiful and there was so many of them. I started to cry from seing such a beauty. Then I woke up.

      Regular dream: I'm in the dorm of my school. It's end of the school year and we are packing to go home for the summer break. Finding all kind's of different things. I asked my friends, if they don't want to come back and finish packing the next day, that I'll bring my car and it will be easier to move.

    12. Perfect Timer Setup?!

      by , 10-12-2011 at 06:22 AM (Choi's Journey of the Conscious Mind)
      [COLOR="red"]Lucid[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="blue"]Dream[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="silver"]Thoughts[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="lightblue"]Hypnagogic[/COLOR]

      [COLOR="silver"]This morning I found the perfect timer setup, maybe if I shorten the length of the alarm it will work even better, but I will stick with this setting for now, because this morning I got a lucid dream! So I will try the same setup tomorrow and see if it works.

      I woke up from my alarm, I actually moved a little because I got chocked by the alarm. I got aware of my awakening and closed my eyes. I think I lost consciousnes for a brief moment, but I regained it in a thought![/COLOR]
      [COLOR="lightblue"]I saw my old school and some friends I haven't met for a long time. I knew that this was just me thinking, but the thought was controling itself, like a dream. But it wasn't vivid, so I thought that if I just continue with focusing on the environment I kind of saw, it will hopefully transition to a dream if I am in REM.
      [/COLOR]
      [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]2553[/ATTACH][/CENTER]
      [COLOR="red"]Suddenly I realise that the environment is real and I can really feel the wind and see the people I were talking to. I am now perfectly aware of that I am dreaming, I remember that I talked to one of the girls and I was still lucid! I thought "Ok I know this is a dream, now i want to fly, because this feels so real it might be hard, but I try." I took pace and ran and I could fly! Then... A girl teasing me sexually and I know that if I have sex I will lose my lucidity or at least it will be less vivid. I tried to resist, but I couldn't, so I had sex. But I actually didn't lost awareness. But the dream ended shortly after this, because.[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="silver"]I woke up from the next alarm on the timer, this lucid dream was exactly 3 minutes and a motivating lucid dream, because now I know the perfect timer setup. I will see tomorrow![/COLOR]

    13. Two Hungry Vamps, Water-Walking, and Flight (10-11-11 4:25am)

      by , 10-12-2011 at 02:54 AM
      Somehow I know that I'm going to be bitten by these two vampire boys, so I tell them that I know where fresh blood is. We walk outside and after a few moments I'm up in the air flying next to the vamps. I spot a lake, so I swoop down, thinking I might try walking on water like I read about in someone else's DJ. The vamps are nowhere to be found, but there abunch of old ladies in bathing suits reading books on the beach and lots of little kids in the water, playing in a clump about 10 feet away. I step onto the water in the shallow end, and fall right through. I try again, SAME ending. Frustrated, but after calming down I step on the water, visualizing it as a moving marble floor, and it works!* I stand there, amazed! This little boy who's swimming in the lake stops, looks at me, and put his hands out and pushs himself up to stand beside me. (copy cat...) I kinda freak out, but not as much as those birdy old ladies! They're grabbing each other and jumping up & down with amazement/fear. I figure this is a good time to get out of here, so I jump into the air, hover for a minute, and off I soar! After I leave the shrieking behind, I fly back toward the mountain** I follow the road, gliding above the cars and dodging trees, until I wake up a bit later.
      *I wasn't lucid except when I flew and later when I walked on water, and I didn't really have control over the storyline.

      **I was in a valley, which the lake was the centerpiece of.

    14. 10/12/11

      by , 10-11-2011 at 07:27 PM (Dreamscapes)
      Was switching from being lucid in one dream to not in another. Its long so as usual I don't remember the becoming and how I got lucid. I was on a giannnnttt bean bag with Leo and dina. This thing was red and was flying to any destination. I decided to let it surprise me. We were flying super fast for a long time looking at different sights. I wasn't buckled in so it was a bit scary when it started going fast. We saw another one that was bigger than ours and dina and Leo talked to the family. I didn't say much this dream because I was just taking in the amazing sights. This dreamscape was a mix of some tropical paradise and Alaska. I laid down and had a false awakening . I woke at home. Baron had to go poop. I went and Leo had a new dog. I took him too. They went poop and I picked it up. I went to bed for a second before meeting up with Leo. I saw more poop on the puppy pad and told Leo he has to clean the poop. He laughed. We talked about how his new dog was so well behaved and perfect and how luna was evil. The floor was suddenly lightly on fire. Leo got me some water yo put it out. It was going to take a while so I left. I laud down and opened my eyes. I was back in my lucid and fully Lucid. We were still on the flying thing and going fast. I laid down and felt the wind on my face. They water was swooshing below me and the beanbag got closer to the water. It wasI am amazing feeling. Like being on a carpet ride. We landed in some random place. Leo and dina said something but I ignored them. I think it was that they were going to go Into a building ahead. I wanted to explore. I was climbing a big oil rig to get over to the other side. I kind or hurt myself and felt surprising pain. I ignored it and kept going. I once again got the idea that this was a super long lucid. Every time I think this it normally ends. It started destabilizing and it faded to black. I didn't move and imagined the scenario and I was back. I kept climbing rigs until I got to the top. I took in the sights and decided to check out the apartment Leo and dina were at. I wanted to fly but was already high up and a bit too scarred so i walked. I had that idea of dream time again and it destabaliazed. I came back and climbed up the apartment. I got inside and realized it was blurry. I took the time to stabilize. I wanted kara there and she came around the corner and sat down. She had black hair. I loved the way it looked and just watched her talk. I pulled her close and we made out. It was so real and joy filled my heart. I pulled her ontop and we grinded while making out. It was fading. I knew I had to stop but didn't. It faded fully but the grinding and kissing didn't stop fir a while. I knew I had tostop write it down quickly before more was forgotten

      Was driving with kara to get a burger. We couldn't decide what to eat it took us forever to finally decide on burger master. I was driving crazy and kara said that I was a horrible driver. I got pissed and walked home. Kara Leo izra and g were there. Kara wanted me to hang out with her while she did homework but I didn't want to. Leo wanted me to take g to the airport the next day with him. I wanted to but it was really early and I said I would if I could get up. I would do gross things to g and izra to gross them out. Dina was pooping in the bathroom behind me. It looked like we were at mothers. I left with g izra or Leo to spirit. But I don't remember who. We were at my old apartments. They looked haunted. For some reason I went to try and get my check back from the office but it was haunted. I got spiderweb all over and ghosts started coming out of nowhere. I had a gun and shot a couple. One had me by chains. The person I was with solved a mystery of one ghosts murder and they thanked him and disappeared. We had to solve their mysterys or they would kill us

    15. Fragments and a moment of incredible details

      by , 10-11-2011 at 05:34 PM
      11-10-11 Was a bit hyped, so did my best to cool down a bit while going to sleep, which meant not a lot of focus on goals. After the first couple of dreams I decided to go free running, though it didn't happen.

      “Designing Games – City in the skies”

      I am setting up a computer game, and I somehow have a sunny background on a road called Tendrupvej in the town I grew up in. The background to the game is blue for now, and the intention is for my friends to join up with in this game. The primary focus I have for now though is to turn it into 3D and make it into full screen.

      The game is a simple mix between shooting above blocks away while avoiding the shots fired against you. The main difference to classical “shooting blocks away above you while the blocks are shooting at you” games is that the shots are fired from the side and the game itself is progressing to the right in a linear fashion. I keep resetting it to get my friends to join and get it all rolling.

      Skip?

      I am getting a mental image of a futuristic city in the light of sunset with quite a fair amount of clods in the background. Furthermore the buildings themselves are emitting quite the amount of light. I get the feeling that there are three main roads leading in and out of the city from and to the centre, in the shape of peace sign.



      Pretty much like this, though without the river and the mentioned roads leading into the centre where the tall building stands and most of the building emiting more light. Otherwise pretty much exactly like this the natural light looking very much like this picture.

      This image is presented just after having discussed setting up the game on the point of what to allow people access to and what not.
      …...................

      “A perceptual moment”

      (Short dream with a lot of detail, not that interesting)

      I am lying in my bed and there is a television in the upper left corner of my visual field. In this television there is a presenter wearing a tie. I pull the television towards the center of my vision wanting it to encompass my entire perceptual field. However the picture disappears and then something strange happens.

      I get this really warm feeling in my entire body accompanied by some slight pressure. The feeling is really nice and I am thinking to myself that it is probably some effects of sleep paralysis. This feeling keeps intensifying up until the point when I feel like I can leave. So I sit up while noticing that I am leaving my physical body behind.

      I am thinking to myself that this reminds me more of an AP (Though admittedly I have no experiential basis for thinking this) than a WILD and I have more confidence in my abilities than normal and I start crawling my way out of my body. To my surprise I am able to fully leave my body behind.

      “Holy shit! I haven't ever done this!” I think to myself, at least not while being conscious about it being a dream. My dream body is really heavy and I have to sort of drag myself across the floor. I am in my room (obviously) and it is really dark. I notice that where the TV normally is there is a smoke alarm. Furthermore there is quite the amount of blue light intermingling with the natural darkness of the dream. Everything looks a bit off due to this.

      I get over to my coffee table and it looks like it does in waking life, with loads of papers scattered on the surface of it. I try and use the table to stand, but as I am placing my hand on the table in order to use it as a support to get up, the weight of my hand makes the table warp downwards, inwards on itself. Meaning that my hand is causing the table to sort of stretch downwards in the centre warping all the papers and stuff lying there as well. As if the stuff is all of a sudden made of rubbery materials.

      I manage to get up and I look out of the window. Down on the right hand side I can see a starry sky joining the horizon. The funny thing is that I am actually looking downwards on this and also the sky (or the other way around) is superimposed on a pattern. Basically think the windows logo but with triangles all pointing towards the centre and a bit more vibrant. Although the stars are out the lighting is fairly bright outside.

      There is a dark curtain on the window with square holes in it. Like a mosquito net, though the holes are a bit bigger. I am trying to get out the window, but as I am making my way towards the window it seems like there is an infinity between myself and the curtain so it takes quite a lot longer than anticipated to get to the window. I find that a tad strange, but when I start thinking more about it I arrive at the window and climb through the glass and curtain, quite confident I can do this based on the fact that I have just crawled out of my own body and jump out.

      I jump down and notice that I am not really flying and gravity seems strong enough. I notice that there is a building to my right and there is a roof over my head supported by some thin white columns, yet I am outside.

      There is grass under my feet and the scenario is fairly different to how I normally perceive the outside of my flat in dreams starting inside. I look down on the grass and out over the lawn to see the flowers. There are quite a few and I notice that they have spherical heads in white and purple, though I also notice that the detail of these flowers are not good. Though upon closer inspection the level of detail increase.

      The grass on the other hand is fairly rich in detail. I can see dirt between the straws indicating that it has been recently sewn. I kneel down and start running my arms through the grass and as I am doing this the density increase. The grass feels soft and chilly under my skin, but no way unpleasant, in fact it feels like it is somewhat sentient and reciprocating my gentle strokes (AWSOMENESS!).

      I now look up to my right looking for the flowers, which again have taken on additional detail. Furthermore I can see the wind is making the flowerbed form into small waves, like ripples, and as I am seeing this I feel the wind on my skin (by the way think I am naked as I jump out, but decide not to care about it). The wind feels like a chill breeze on a warm day that could never be anything but pleasant.


      Notes: The dream was in fact fairly short, but I was somehow more present at every moment, meaning the detail and perceptions I encouraged makes the dream look like one of my longer ones.
      …..........

      “Brief beach adventure”

      I am having quite a lot of mentations involving Carsten J. Some in particular strike out to me where also Ronnie is included.

      We are on holiday and we are comparing beaches.

      I am at this one beach and the water is looking rather milky, though it is very warm. The air is stupidly hot like 70 degrees Celsius, you wouldn't be able to be there and I somehow notice this, though I don't “notice” it. Around in the edges of the water there are brown volcanic stones, or cliff formations might be more accurate due to their size.

      I am jumping around making an effort not to land on one of these stones as I understand them to be immensely hot and will burn me quite severely should I touch them.
