lucid

i was in the car with allen leo izra stephanie kara eve and we were driving to a resterant during the day. in the car we were all taking hits, to my surprise izra was taking more hits then anyone, leo was driving and he was smoking as well, suddenly we get pulled over by the cops at stefaya's house, leo puts me in the front seat so that i have to pay the ticket. we arrive at the fast food resterant and there is a huge line to order food, allen kara stefaya izra and eve go to the tables to sit down while i hold the line. when im about to order a big guy pushes me and claims i cut him in line, i deny the accusation and push him back. he strikes me and i fall to the floor, i scream for leo but he is occupied talking to izra, i decide leo is too weak to help me anyway so i scream for allen. allen instinctively hears my cry, runs over and takes the guy by the throat and smashes him in the concrete wall. i laugh as i see the guy getting what he deserves and am grateful for allens presence. upon reading the situation i become luicid and realize im home in russia and not still in the u.s. i smile thanking my dreams for still letting me live the family expereience in my dreams and being able to finish up life in mosocw. i tell allen im dreaming but he tells me he knows that hes lucid too, i run to the others and tell them im dreaming tho they have no idea, i teach them the lucid ways and me and allen lead them through lucid trials around the city. the dream begins to flicker and i realize my time is running out, i accept and tell them we'l continue another night. i wake up moment before the alarm rings as usual.

I laid down for a nap this afternoon, and quickly found out it was only going to be a light one. I did my body awareness relaxation, and even dozed off for a bit. I woke up, but I decided I didn't want to get up yet, so I kept laying there, doing my relaxation. I soon noticed I was at the transition phase of a WILD (I hadn't been planning on trying one), drifting in and out of sleep and HI, so I thought- might as well attempt one!

I tentatively tried to open my eyes or move my legs to get up a few times, but each time noticed that it was breaking me out of the transition and abandoned it, sinking deeper into the hallucinations. I didn't count or do anything like that, but it was firmly implanted in my mind that I would pay attention to the HI and focus on drawing myself into it. I am in a hotel room, and after awhile I noticed my dog over in the corner. He was flickering in and out (not unusual for HI), so I focused on making him solid with the thought that 'he is a part of a dream, if I keep him here, I am in a dream.'

At some point of doing this, I felt my legs 'drop' over the edge of the bed. Part of me knew this could only mean I was feeling my dream body, but I still didn't wanna mess it up. Slowly, the scene around me changed from my room to outside. I was standing on the road. Tentatively, I tried to walk (hoping the scene wouldn't vanish as has happened before), and I could. I felt the wind blow and levitated to make sure I was indeed lucid dreaming.. I was!

I marveled at the clarity of mind I had. It was even sharper than my other WILDs. I've WILDed a couple of times, but neither time was I able to fully witness the transition. I always kinda lost it for a few moments before realization. This was different. This was way cooler Unfortunately, just when I was about to knock out the TOTM, my freaking alarm went off

I feel like this should help me with future WILDing, as I find myself in that transition phase often, and now I have the knowledge and experience that I *can* see it fully through. Some people tell you they never fully witness the transition, that they always lose consciousness some. Others say they see the dreamscape form around them. I never knew for sure if this was possible - at least for me - but now I do.

I did the advanced task yesterday and this is the basic task completed (ironically this event happened against my will):

I was on very nice sandy beach with lots of people lying down, trying to sunbathe. At first I did the same, I sat on the warm, white sand and looked into the distant blue sky. Strangely, there were two enormous celestial bodies in the direction I was looking at but no-one found it the least bit odd. At this point I sort of knew that this was in fact not reality. Upon realising this, I thought "what the heck, lets just go nuts" and started sprinting towards the water. As I was closing the distance between myself and the water, the sky darkened rapidly and soon brilliantly lit stars filled the night sky. The moon also came up overhead and illuminated the entire ocean. The water was now emitting a sort of bioluminescent blue. I carried on running, and as I reached the edge I tried to jump into it to make a splash. But to my complete amazement I just bounced and slid on top of the water; I didn't even sink into it one bit. I touched the water to ensure that it had the properties of water, which it did. I tried to use my weight to force myself into the water but it simply didn't happen. I found myself on the surface and not even a bit wet. So I stood up and started walking. Within seconds I fell because the surface was extremely slippery. I tried a few more times, managing to stay upright for mere moments before toppling once again. Eventually I gave up and decided to do what penguins do - belly slide. It was definitely the most fun I've had for a while. On that surface I experienced little to no friction and I just kept on sliding. Eventually this dream world started to fade and became more and more blurred.

I woke up and sighed.

Advanced task completed.

It was a few minutes past 2am and I felt tired so I turned off the lights and fell asleep.
Moments later I was wide awake and in my living room and it was sunny outside - this obviously came across as a strange phenomenon because from my perspective, it felt like I had just fallen asleep only a few seconds ago. I was a bit confused so I walked around the room a little bit whilst fidgeting with something in my hands. As my thumb brushed my index finger, a bright crimson spark formed. I was speechless... (well.. I wasn't speaking in the first place). I concentrated and tried to reproduce that same effect again but to no avail. I clapped my hands together and a bright spark formed again. After a few minutes of trying and failed so I starting clenching my fists in frustration. Then I felt a searing pain between my fingers. I was suprised to see that my right palm was charred. I was suddenly hit by a thought - "Have I somehow learned how to generate fire at will? ... Nah don't be ridiculous, if I could then how come I can't do it now?" After a while I thought about the fire triangle (a model for understanding the basic ingredients of fire - which is fuel, heat and oxygen). I realised that everytime I generated a spark, it was caused by friction (the act of rubbing my fingers together) or when I absorb kinetic energy. After realising this, I snapped my fingers as well as I could and thought "IGNITE" at the same time and a huge pillar of flame erupted outwards, seemlingly from nowhere, and tore a gigantic whole through the walls of my living room. Normally, seeing my house reduced to this sort of state would cause me to go mental but for some reason I couldn't stop smiling. I felt pretty happy with myself.

Now this part I found very peculiar because it felt as if I was in the dream for weeks on end when I woke up. Now back to the story:

After what felt like weeks of "training," a notion just randomly popped into my head - By rubbing my fingers together, I was actually manipulating the concentration of oxygen in the air surrounding, raising its density to a level at which it becomes combustible and creating narrow pathways of oxygen through which I can direct the ensuing flame birthed by the spark. So I was in fact controlling both fire and air, as these elements are so intertwined.

I can't really remember what happened after I had this idea in chronological order. For some reason I was at Mt. Rushmore (where the faces of several US Presidents are sculpted onto the cliff-face) at sunset out of the blues a ninja with glowing eyes started attacking me.

He moved towards me in order to strike me with his sword. I barely managed to get out of the way. As I snapped my fingers he waved his sword briefly and stopped me from creating a fire. So all I could do was try to dodge his attacks. I felt the gust of wind caused by the insanely fast motion of the sword everytime it approached me. The quick slashing of his sword must be changing the air current, disrupting the ignition reaction. I felt scared... I couldn't manipulate the air's composition when its constantly in flux. Even if I managed to pull off a flame, it wouldn't have any accuracy. He moved in once again, this time for the killing blow. I crouched and placed my hands firmly on the ground beneath me and started melting it. Almost instantaneously, the ground ahead of me became a an unstable molten mass and he sank right into it.

The next thing I knew, I was in my bed and it was morning.

It was quite an eventful night...

Dream 1

I was in my boxing gym and I was sparring six round with six different guys. The gym wasn't as it usually looked and I could see rain out of windows where I normally wouldn't since the real windows are painted on.

After I sparred the 6 rounds I couldn't do any ground work as I was so tired and sore. So i just left and went home I imagine. Later on I went back and my coach said "You're back, get on the "hang-up". He pointed to a construction site within the gym and it had people pulling themselves up to a platform.

Dream 2

I was in a casino but it was more like a film. A decepticon was trying to steal something from a shelf of stuff I think it was the Matrix but when he did find it. There was a huge fight in space and the Autobots fought the Decepticons. Megatron went on a rant to Optimus Prime but HotShot came in and shot Megatron so he's dead.

It was really awesome but I don't remember that much which sucks so much.

Fragment

I was lucid in one dream. I flew aswell so not bad.

[COLOR="silver"]Right now I am doing the exercises that I tell the people in my school project to do. And although I have already pracctised my awareness alot, it's still a good pracctise for. This evening before falling asleep I just looked at my hands nothing more. And I had some vivid dreams and even a short lucid dream.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I dreamt that I were in school and were listening to my history teacher. I normally like history, but this time I didn't undertstood anything she said. And she kept repeating that this was something that we should now by now.
She described different peoples life by drawing, weird lines and dots on the board. I raised my hand and told her that I didn't follow. But she only got angry and then she kicked me out, after I had a breakdown haha.

I was aware enough to realise that something was wrong, the school flelt different, everything felt different.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"]The dreamy feelingitself made me realise that I was dreaming. I looked at my hands and it stabilised a bit, although I forgot my old goal to use the spinning technique. Instead I foccused on the lockers and the surounding. And I saw that everything become more clear. I thought for a second (Why I don't know) "Who am I in love with?" Then I see her walking out of the library and I was not surprised to see who it was.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="silver"]Unfortunately those feeling made me lose my lucidity, although this was the end of my 4 day dryspell :)[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I am glad that both my conscious and subconscious agrees with something.[/COLOR]

Dream (Fragment) One
All I remember is meeting the 'Chocolate Rain' dude, Tay Zonday, at a water park like Water Mania. We turned out to be pretty chill, and after the park we went back to produce a track at my place.


Dream Two
"Fencing Failure"

I was at an airshow, with some other guy and a girl. At first, we were all outside, in a field. There were a lot of children running around, and most of us were sitting on picnic blankets and pallets in the grass. One plane, in particular, was hovering nearby, firing an endless stream of machine gun fire. It looked like an older plane, but had 'jump-jet' technology, like the modern day Harriers. Some kid was sitting on a blanket in front of me was eating an ice cream cone. When he got finished with it, he chucked it away carelessly, causing some of it to land on my blanket. Annoyed by this, I flicked the cone - which still had ice cream in it - back over to him. It stopped just before him, but didn't touch him. The pre-teen escalated things by standing up, picking up the remaining scoop of ice cream and chucking it at me. Now rather pissed, I got up, grabbed a big glob of the ice cream and walked over to the kid, taking my hand and smashing the ice cream all into his face.

The kid was furious. Lol. He grabbed a fake (but sturdy) sword, from somewhere, and started attacking me with it, relentlessly. Still agitated, but finding this slightly humorous, I borrowed a fake sword from another kid, and I started deflecting this brat's attacks while he swung at me with all he had. Some of my friends were encouraging me not to egg him on, because they figured I would get in trouble for being in an altercation like this with a child. I replied that I was just playing with him, and had no plans to actually hurt him. The kid didn't feel the same way, though. Frustrated the he couldn't lay a finger on me, the boy ran to get his dad. By this time, the scenery had change, and a handful of us were now inside a classroom. The caucasian boy's dad - and unexpectedly Asian man - stepped forward. He was brandishing a very real rapier sword, and stared at me intently. Issuing me a (rather formal) challenge, he went into some bloated speech about how I'd made a huge mistake in 'dishonoring his family,' and said that he was some world-rknowned fencing extraordinaire. Possibly trying to prove this, he broke into a comical series of swipes and lunges at the air, with the sword, his complete lack of grace or technique showing that he wasn't quite the bad ass he said he was. Before this, I was about to decline his challenge (because, really, who wants to sword fight over something so juvenille?)[, but when he started trying to show off - and looking as silly as he did - I couldn't resist.

Apparently on my side, a couple of little kids walked over to me, handing me a couple of spare swords to put down in the back of my shirt...just in case. Lol. Anyone still in the room stepped back some, to give us space. Completely amused by the whole situation, I held my toy sword in a downward position, squaring off against the short, portly man. As I got ready, I noticed that my feet didn't feel planted firmly to the ground. Instead, they began to feel light and levitational, like they often do in dreams. This began to make me question the events of the dream, but the man attacked before I could reach full lucidity. Parrying his attacks came as absolutely no challenge, though. He was just kind of flailing the weapon about, with absolutely no form or experience, and I was able to knock away his attempts effortlessly, while still trying to keep my footsteps firmly on the floor.

After one more of his lunges, I launched a foot out and kicked his legs out from under him, bringing him to his knees. I'd had about enough, as it is, and reached down, grabbing his weapon and ripping it out of his hand. Immediately, I walked out of the classroom, leaving him there. Moving through the tight hallways, afterward, I finally became lucid. I had originally planned to locate the Dream World Academy, but I was actually kind of impressed by how cool this rapier was. I was also beginning to feel a little claustrophobic in this hallway, and began to suspect that the man I had just humiliated would come crashing through one of these walls, to retaliate. A little uncomfortable - and without any other immediate plan that I could remember - I decided to have a little fun and try an experiment. I attempted to wake myself up and bring the rapier into the waking world with me.

Gripping the sword tightly, I pulled my eyes open to wake up, focusing on the feeling of the sleek steel of the weapon. As if it had instantly turned to sand, I could feel the metallic rod disintegrate in my hand - a strange sensation, that I haven't felt in a while.

Then awake, I wiggled my fingers and looked at my hands to find...well...nothing, of course.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Had no real intentions of getting lucid last night, and my sleep was shitty. Woke up every hour or so during the later part of the night, but that only helped me with my recall and I got a little LD just like that. Seems like Tuesday to Wednesday night is my new LD night.

22.30: Sleep

05.00: Fragment
*My friend Henrik is at my place. He's got very short hair and he keeps messing with my computer. I have no idea why he's being such a jerk, but I slap him in the head hard. We almost start a fight when he punches me in the balls. I can feel the pain up into my stomach. I hold his arms down and tell him to stop. "I can pick you up if I want to, I'm that much stronger" I tell growl in his face.

05.00: Boat ride
I'm with my mom outside of a shop. We're looking at some kind of clock for her. It's got the colour of burnt clay, and she tells me she wants it. We enter the store and a girl shows up and starts showing some big vase to my mom. I look at a clock hanging on the wall. It's 9:10. "Mom, I gotta go" I tell her. I hand her all the money I have. Exactly 105 euros. Actually I'm late for the boat and it should have left already. My phone starts vibrating and I check the display, it's Monica.

"Hey babe, I'm on my way, let's meet halfway" I tell her and hang up. I run towards the apartments we had and she come scrambling down the steps with a few suitcases. I grab one and we head off towards the boat.

The dream skips. We arrive at the boat and my friends are there. I spot a couple who I recognised earlier on our trip to the country we're in. I walk away from the boat to do something, not sure what. On my way back I spot the couple ahead of me, smoking weed. I know how fucked up I can get on it, so I try not to inhale anything. I start to feel dizzy and my steps become incredibly slow. I have to struggle to even move. After a minute or two I reach the boat and get on, my friend Felix comes up from behind and tells me he was looking for me.

As soon as I enter our cabin, the boat starts moving. "Close call hah!" I say. All my friends are in the cabin there with me, and I lie down on a sofa. It's not comfortable at all.

05.00: Evil and good DILD
I'm standing near a bridge, looking at a sleeping man in the tree. Above him is a cat that is wiggling its tail. I grab the tail and tease the cat with it, trying to make the cat attack the sleeping man. I can't get it to attack him, but I have some fun with the cat. I completely forget about the cat and feel that I need to take a pee. Two girls are heading over the bridge, but they're far off and I figure I can make it. I unzip my pants and start peeing behind the tree. They walk a few feet behind me and doesn't seem to care.

Peeing that long makes me go lucid. I walk down the road while taking in the scenery a bit. It's dry out, but the trees around me looks like jungle. I try to recall my tasks. To do a good and evil deed, that's right! I've visualized giving someone money as a good deed already and I feel my pockets while walking towards the two girls who had stopped by some stone structure.

One of them has dark brown hair. I grope around in my pocket for a while but I can't feel anything that feels like money, I do feel two lighters though. "Hey, want to see a cool trick?" I ask them. "Yeah sure!" they say as I pull out a lighter. I light a flame in my hand, it burns blue.



I shoot the flame out from my hand onto the dark haired girl's hair. She gives off a shocked expression but I make sure the flame quickly goes out. I can smell burnt hair. "Sorry about that" I say. They don't seem to mind much though. The three of us starts walking down the road, I keep trying to find the money in my pocket. Soon I find something interesting and bring it out. It's a big money clip. We arrive at a boat with alot of people around. I give the money clip to the girl. "I wouldn't hurt cute girls like you for real" I say. I feel her butt. She compleltely ignores me after taking the money.

05.00: Wake up

I'm not sure if the only drean U cab recall is really a dream at all....I was doing a small excercise I call 'Setting the Scene' where I pick a random 'cast' and let the scenario into play. Usually lately, my dreams have taken the form of my worries and inner-struggles both spiritually and in the waking, physical world. Tonight, this was no exception.
Though the night prior I dreamed of the perfect(ly odd) ending to the story that is a fight between friends, in the waking world we are still on the long road to love....But I'm nor here for therapy. I am here to journal down my dreams. This time, the cast taht decided to show to the party besides myself was my friend Colton who, previous to this stupid quarrel, used to protect me in every single one of my dreams! However, behind me and waiitng was Twisted!Colton, who seems to do the opposite of his original copy and want nothing more than to tear my mental sanity apart. Some close friends and I theorize it could be a manifestation in my subconcious of hurt feelings between the two of us from the last life and possibly this one. I implored with Colton to forgive me, that I truly was sorry and just didn't care about whether or not he and my beau ever got along- that I cared about getting back the only family I had ever truly known. However, he proceeded to tell me that our 'family' and 'friendship' wasn't worth any sort of dramatics or the effort. I tried telling him I never had started this drama, that he was lied to- I never said a bad word about my one and only brother...And that I spent my entire summer on this effort, so it was worth it to me if he would atleast see me to the other side of it. However, unlike yesterday's happy ending, this one ended badly....He merely said goodbye and walked away from me. I began to scream and try to give chase to my best friend, however this didn't result well. Instead, Twisted!Colton pulled me back against him and whispered in my ear, "You're mine, now....We can be together forever, Autumn...." (Autumn being my name from my previous life.) At this point, he held fast, practically dug his fingers into my skin, and pulled me into a coffin behind him with him while I scream after the real Colton to save me again like before.
But this time, he didn't come...
I fell into black sleep after this point.

I had several dreams last night, the last of which was my first ever lucid dream. Finally!!!

All I remember from my first dream is standing on the front walk of what I know in the dream is my ex in-laws house. But no such house exists in the real world. Another strange thing is that the house, it's foundation and even a layer of soil, is sitting on the ground (kind of crooked) like it had been pulled up from the ground and set down somewhere else. I also notice a trail of ants running up and down the length of the front walk.

In my second dream, I found myself in a large cavern of some kind. There seems to be some kind of community living here. There is one man whom everyone calls "the bird man" because he raises all kinds of different animals as pets. I walk over to his part of the cavern and see a small pool. Then I see a small dinosaur, like a baby, about the size of a large swan or goose. It looks like a stegosaurus, except that it has light purple fur on it's body and the plates running up and down it's back are brilliant shades of yellow and red. When it first sees me, it swims away across the small pool. But then the bird man enters and the dinosaur comes running to me as if for protection. It's rubbing up against me like a cat does.

After I awoke from this dream, I laid in bed, briefly considering jotting down some notes in my dream journal. But I decided to go back to sleep and try to re-enter the dream. This is when I had my first ever lucid dream:

I'm sitting in the waiting area of a small office. The door to the office is open and I can see my oldest daughter sitting in there. I'm talking to her about dreaming and telling her how to to a reality check by holding her nose and trying to breathe. She does it, but is able to breathe. I'm thinking that she's not holding her nose tight enough, so I decide to show her how to properly do it. As we're doing this, two men walk into the waiting area where I'm at. I look at them and say something like, "We probably look pretty silly doing this, huh?". I keep trying to show my daughter how to do the holding your nose reality check, but I'm thinking I must be doing something wrong because it's not working for me either; I can breathe. Then I look at my hands. They're all blurry, not like an out-of-focus picture but like a pastel drawing that has been smudged. It finally dawns on me that this must be a dream! I get up and walk around, looking at everything. I enter another room that looks like some kind of call center, because there are desks everywhere with people sitting at them and talking on phones. The walls seem to be made up of panes of blue glass that are illuminated from behind. I pass by a middle aged woman sitting at a desk and nod in greeting to her; she smiles and nods back. I decide to continue exploring and walk back out of the room. But now I'm in what appears to be a grocery store. I walk by one of the check-out registers and decide to look at my hands again to see if I'm still dreaming. My hands are in perfect focus, but both hands are misformed. There are only small nubs where my index and pinkie fingers should be. I remember that one thing I wanted to do in a dream is find "the girl of my dreams". I look around, wondering whether to ask one of the dream figures or just ask the dream outright to show me the girl of my dreams. Just then, I notice a woman walking up one of the aisles towards me, browsing the items that are on the shelves. She is wearing a white dress, has blonde hair, pale skin and is wearing red lipstick. I walk towards her and as I approach, she looks up and smiles as if she recognizes me. I want to ask her if she is the girl of my dreams but she is talking to me. She says in an excited voice, "Oh my God, I didn't think there was anyone else here who wanted to dance!" Before I can reply, these two guys appear out of nowhere. I can tell by the look on the woman's face that she doesn't like them. She asks, "What do you want?". One of the guys pulls her to him and says, "You said you wanted to dance." But before I can intervene, I lose lucidity and wake up.

Weird looking villain. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a false awekening and left my house. It was day and very clear. I looked at the clock and realized it was already 1pm. I was worried because I had a lot to do in the morning.

I suddenly realized that I must've been dreaming. It was impossible for me to wake up so late. I took a small flight and suddenly realized there was a villein that looked pretty much like this:







I decided to follow the plop and realize what was going on.

I soon lost lucidity and saw this guy, laughing very loud. His laugh sounded very metallic and echoed. I saw some tanks and a hord of bikers. They were all supposed to fight. I felt that the tanks were going to win the battle, however, there were hundreds of thousands of bikers, so I felt that maybe the could win.

G was visiting again and we went to applebees to have lunch with him. For some reason I decided to try and meet them at red robin. We got sort of lost and ended up at Redmond town center. After a bit of talk we decided to stay. It was very sunny and vivid out. Leo and I separated from the group and went into a hotel. We were wearing suits and decided that it would be funny to go to the concierge and mess with them. They ended up giving us the two executive suits thinking we were them. We ran up to they first one and saw that the guys were there so we decided to wait for them. I became lucid and turned one of the guys into a cat as he was leaving. He wanted to warn the other guy but I wouldn't let him. I kicked him around a bit and Leo and I were laughing. We decided to go to the other guy to rob him while he wasn't there I kind of went along with the dream for fun. In the elevator the dream police came in with a gun. He was a giant black guy and had a little smile on his face. I shot myself out of the elevator and heard Leo say you fucker tothe me as I left him. I was laughing as I fell down a neverending hole of darkness. I teleported myself into the next elevator and pulled Leo into it to escape the police. He asked how I was doing all this and I said I was lucid. I showed him some cool stuff like changing the colors of the elevator curtains and moving stuff with my hand. I realized I was getting rely good at control. He laughed and joined me in moving stuff around. I lost some vividity and faded out. I imagined the elevator in detail and got back in the dream. Kara was there and I was horny. I knew if I fucked her I would wake but I was confident that I could get back in. We fucked and she was surprised I was having sex with her and not another. I just laughed at that. She looked really extra hot in this dream. I came close to finishing and woke in blackness. I imagined the elevator and after a min was back in. I took a while to stabilize and touched everything in the elevator to get back to full vividness. I met Leo at the top floor where the guys place was and I heard baron barking. I was suddenly in my car at my old apartments. There was an Indian couple running around and baron was chasing them barking. They seemed to be ignoring them so I tried not to look and was going to get back into the hotel. I was getting back in when I realized I was forgetting some of the dream and wanted to remember most of it so I made myself wake.

9.4.11.WILD.muffinBattle.txt

this is after a night of gigging, coming home, then getting up a few hours later to do a photoshoot / album cover thing. i napped later, but still felt totally sleep deprived.

i almost accidentally wilded into this. as soon as i closed my eyes there were intense purple swirls, so i decided to count and stay alert. i probably only got to 15 or so... i cant recall the beginning but i was lucid for a while before deciding to do a RC.

i am in the corner of a blue-green painted room. like a baby's room maybe. i look at my hand, its all wavy and electric. at one point i am what i think is under a bed, but now it seems like i was actually looking out of crib railing. i rub my hands together. i am still somewhat aware of my body in bed as i do this, but it feels pretty solid.

i remember to look at myself (i have on striped pajamas?) indeed, i remember to think about my goals and waking life, but the only one i can recall doing is asking dream characters what they represent, and ive forgotten many of them as well.

... i am at a party, in the kitchen, feeling confident and curious about the dream. there are lots of loud girls. im talking to a really drunk blonde about working at the christian academy. the girl is telling me to take the job, implying that there would be lots of willing co workers.
shes trying to get me, i think. then she jumps on my back and when i grab at her my hand brushes her vagina and she makes a moan. this happens when there is dip in the volume of the conversation and everyone starts laughing.

here things get fuzzy, i remember asking characters at the party what they stand for and getting some enlightening answers, but its all very fuzzy. i do recall asking a portly young lad in a booth who was eating what he represented, and ruminating on his answer, but i can't remember it now.

also, my good friend and former trumpet player was there, but he was simultaneously like the Conan O'Brian Triumph the insult comic dog. i found his presence like this amusing and asked what he represented. he said "when you stick to your dreams you can go far." (Our trumpeter had just completed his undergrad and moved to Florida for his masters, while traveling and playing shows with some good sized bands. So this answer makes total sense.")

...

me, dad, and another younger kid go to this fancy hotel / spa / resort type place. dad thinks he has a good plan to somehow get all kinds of free stuff.

we go in and this server woman brings a big pot of coffee, some candy, and some kind of black USB thumb-drive. i know this is a bad idea. the thumb-drive has something to do with how yo pay for stuff. i was ripping the place off a little bit, but dad is wanting to totally not pay for anything. i refuse the coffee and sweets and decide to change the scene.

i wake up and move a bit then go back into the dream.

... i am in a compound / mansion type place, almost like a hospital or mental asylum. its sort of late Victorian, but i have all manner of futuristic technology, like a small hover ship. the place is bad.. not quite evil, but there is a bad dark haired man in charge. i play tricks and pranks on them. there is dark haired kid, as if he is my young doppelganger or is getting blamed for all the stuff i do.

these two girls / nurses are trying to catch me but i keep moving this black bag they put out to catch me. i keep draggin it through the walls. one girl comments on it. then another guy shows up and says, its time we consider this is something else, like im a ghost or something.

at one point i pass through this courtyard and tied to a tree is a big hagrid looking type monster / giant, swinging a club at me. i ask him what he represents and he growls "your fear of the unknown!" all the while trying to get me. (right before bed i had watched some history channel thing on Sasquatch being a primitive human.)

the dark haired man is chasing me in the grocery store, floating and then firing various foods at me, muffin / cupcakes in one scene. i am able to deflect them. then he has some secret configuration that i cannot stop, i decide this is enough and decide to show them power they have never seen before. i forcefully stop everything and wave my hand in righteous fury, dissolving the scene and fading it into something else.

... i am driving up a tiny road, at a ridiculous incline. its almost like i am driving up the side of an obelisk. i seem to remember this road and how dangerous it is, so i have to be careful. here, i lose lucidity, because i am worried about the fall if i don't make it. i am not properly on the road and when i reach the top my way is blocked by a black cable. i reach out and grab it, moving it aside so i can pass and i end up hanging off the edge of the road / tower. i pull myself up and there is a tiny, grey, foot high mailbox. i think this is odd.

... i am riding in a car down the freeway, talking to guy who looks like spy. i say i will be going to Addison virtual academy and he says i will be working for him. i awaken.

7.30.11.GLD.movieTheater.cloudBattle.txt

i woke up and took:
G+C+1 Ltheanine + kril oil + 1b6

i couldnt get back to sleep, my gf and daughter kept waking me up. i took another l-theanine later.

i am trying to fall asleep and sort of passively wilding, watching the lights behind my eyes. a dream starts to form, but its very dark and doesnt feel 3d, it feels third person-ish. i let it go, but i keep my wits about me and every so often i try to move off, to separate myself, to feel or see my body, but i feel stuck.

... im at a huge outdoor concert, but my perspective is that of a video camera surrounded by heavy cloth looking out onto the drums. one of the TOTMs was to play an instrument in a lucid dream. i have being trying to incubate this by focusing on it before bed, either playing a huge concert or playing the piano (which i succesfully did non-lucid last night.) but i cannot move, i am frozen in the camera perspective. when i try to move again the scene shifts.

... and i am out in an impossibly huge concrete skatepark, again in third person. the concert is happening off in the distance, which i think is pretty cool. there are two guys on a longboard, but one of them has one foot on another longboard, and they are carving the huge banks. (just like me, half-asleep, still aware of my body, with one foot in the dream world) <there is no way, they are gonna make it, how is he still standing?> they head straight for me and the scene shifts again...

... i am in a movie theater, sitting along the wall with my gf, waiting for the movie to start. this scene is another step towards the dream. there has been some kind of technical problem and we are all impatient. (i find this to be a reflection of me WILDING and waiting on the dream to start.) i see my friend danny over by some tables and go to talk to him, still feeling my body and not quite "in" the dream, but getting closer.

he has been on a trip, as our recent (imagined) messages have indicated and we talk for a moment. my gf comes over, grumpy and pregnant, and impatient. (this whole time she is sleeping next to me, occasionally moving and making noises.) we find some seats, but i have to force another guy to move so we can sit together.

the image on the movie screen is too small (another comment on the WILD transition) and a guy's voice starts droning. now its more like a class auditorium. he is expounding on the virtues of some scientist, all his accomplishments. i focus on his voice. it gets louder and louder. i try to contain my excitement because i know the real show is about to start! his words starts to blend together and get louder and rumblier and more jumbled together. soon it sounds like a jet engine...

... and i am in!i feel a shift and suddenly motion. i am in a fighter at a tremendous altitude. i look out the window and see full color, 3d, lifelike clouds. i hear machine gun fire as we zoom close to a cloud bank and i see that it is actually some kind of enemy turret disguised in the clouds.

<how am i going to get out? i know, i am a paratrooper and they will "fire" me into the mothership! i can then have some fun before i teleport / fly out and take care of the TOTM or one of my other goals.>



i look out the window again and see a huge floating fortress come into view. it is brown and has long tentacles floating, there are other ships battling around it. just as they are about to lanch my "pod"...

my gfs phone rings and i hurtle back to my body with almost painful force.

ahhh life is so beautiful.

Mayatara's Dream

I had this dream last night. I wasn't trying to attempt a shared dream or to even go to Chichen Itza. I was dreaming I was at my hometown and I got lucid and landed on top of a large square rooftop, which I though was of a normal building. Today I saw the Chichen Itza scheme here on this page and realized it looked so much like it! Even the strange ramp going up to the top of the building, which I found unusual to be on a normal building. I think I actually dreamt of Chichen Itza, therefore I had to post the dream here. Eventually there could be some synchronism with other dreamers.

"(...) Eventually I headed to my hometown. I lived some adventures down the way, but nothing worth mentioning. What matters is that eventually I got lucid there and I flew up in the air to absorb the detailed landscape from above while deciding what to do with my LD.
I landed on top of a large concrete building on top of a hill and I planned to pursue my latest adventure of getting the sword of Manjushri from the guy who had it. But as I was summoning a portal to go to the land of Aud, two giant white wolves appeared out of nowhere, growling and looking for a way to get me. I felt safe, because I was on top of a building, but then I noticed there was a ramp on the back of the building, from the hill directly to this rooftop, which I could swear wasn't there before. They were getting really close and I decided to jump through the portal I had opened, although I hadn't clearly figured where I wanted to land.
Anyway, I think I landed in Aud, I just didn't know exactly what part of it. It was a rough landing. I fell on the ground with my bottom. Everything was pitch dark and I realized it was night. I could feel grass under my hands and hear a murmur of water to my right side. I was afraid the wolves could have crossed the portal to, but after a while of hearing no threatening sound, I was rest assured I was all by myself. I cringed against a warm rock waiting for the morning. When the sky started to light up I saw I was on some prairie, with a lake and a forest in the horizon. I guessed the forest was the one around the town of Denn, but before I could even make plans about what to do next, I started waking up...
