lucid

Fragment
It was a countdown to the new year 2012 at my Auntie's house.

Dream
I was walking home from school and I went into a house where gangsters were and I told myself I was undercover. There was a knock on the door and it was the police. I got scared "I can't be seen here" I didn't want to blow my cover. I got out real quick and waited with some girls at the front of the house. I was holding one of them (a girl who used to go to my school) and slapping her back, she was telling me to slap it.

Then I got in a police car went down the road to a library with the girl insinde for some reason. I then became lucid and flew Iron Man style out of the world and round the globe to a futuristic L.A. It wasn't that futuristic though.





I was driving and went to a house. I think it was boarded up.

Since this is my first entry, I will start with the last dream I wrote down in my physical dream journal.

Ray and I were canoing down a river in the middle of the afternoon. I jumped out of the canoe and swam to shore. In the distance I saw an island (called "Monkey Island" in the dream). I wanted us to go there. It was huge with large mangrove roots sprawling all around and a large central tree bursting from the center. As I reached shore I noticed the water began rising. I was losing places I could hold onto or stand on, and remember being afraid of alligators in the water. That was when I saw my dad on his sailboat and my brother on the shoreline opposite of me. I swam over to them and that is when lucidity hit me.

I decided to do a little exploring so I dove beneath the surface of the river and saw the one of the most beautiful landscapes my mind has ever come up with. I was underwater, yes, but everything was crystal clear as if it were air and it wasn't exactly underwater because I saw birds flying down there as well. To be more accurate there were dolphins, stingrays and other water-life swimming/flying through the area, along with those birds. The land below all of it looked extremely similar to the grand canyon. It was absolutely stunning. I resurfaced and grabbed my sister Ashley. I told her to come down underwater with me and we both went together. We were having a great time. A large group of stingrays headed straight for my sister and I remember she was hurrying to get out of their way - afraid of being stung. But they just brushed by her gently. Several platypi did circles around me and swam away. I can't explain the feeling of it all, just that it was wonderful and innocent, like the feeling a child would get about going to the beach for the first time. After spending some time down there, Ashley and I got out and discovered a nice house built into the cliffside next to the river. We entered it and as we did the house broke itself off and began slowly drifting away, as if it were being held up by balloons. I looked at her and said "Isn't this exciting. Our journey is about to begin.". By this time it was already evening and we were passing over many houses with their lamp-posts on. I looked around the house and made the dream become more clear. I told my sister that I loved her. She replied "Aw, I love you too."
I then said "You know we are dreaming right?"
She gazed out the window and said "I know."
I looked at her and asked "Well...Will you remember all of this when we wake up?"
She just grinned at me and gave me a face that said I already knew. This wasn't the real her. She couldn't remember something she wasn't actually doing.

SO that's that. I woke up shortly after. I didn't manipulate any of this... I just lucidly went with the flow of the dream.

After more than a week without any lucids, I finally had one, but it was very short.
My alarm wasnt doing a very good job at waking me up, so, last night I slept without it.
I was dreaming a dream about wrestling and suddenly I found myself awake, in my bed. I relaxed, and counted to 10.
I then felt that feeling again, it felt nice.
I'm now in my dream. I say to myself: "Let's do this" As I get up.
Theres one problem, though. I can't open my eyes they seem to be glued together. I tried rubbing them, and it worked. I then looked at my hands and they looked blurry, very blurry. I rubbed them and they felt sweaty. My eyes then quicly shut closed and I woke up.
Short, but it's nice to have one after a while

Lucid Non-lucid
8/15/11 (on vacation so wrote down late)

i was at school, in the office with mr. crowley. he sent me down to the chapel with the nun (the chapel switched locations with the caff in this dream. we went down the stairs and told me that jesus said that if you believe you can eat poison and live, and she wanted to test her faith. she took a pill, foamed and collapsed. i freaked out, but she got up and laughed and said it was a joke. i went on without her. under the school there was a big church. i looked at it and thought that it was so beautiful and big and that god must exist. then i knew something was wrong. and then i also realized that the church wasnt part of the actual school, and became lucid. at this point i started having sex with someone (wont say who but seemed appropriate at the time). i realized that since i was lucid i could have someone hotter, and i may have pulled up a computer screen (or that was just later) and got a hotter girl. she had bright clothes on and i took some off and started. in this dream i did feel something and even though i had low lucidity and no deffinant point of realization, i remembered to stay calm and not wake up, and i did last a little while longer than usual. after that i wanted to do a girl i knew, so i stopped what i was doing and pulled a fb page out of the air and found a picture of a few girls i like hanging out at a pool or lake or something. i was planning to go in, but one girl was missing, and idk why i didnt just go for the other hot girls, ii think i just wanted what i couldnt have. i kept looking for her and woke up.

Evolventity's Dream

August 20, 2011

(Regular Dream) | Fell asleep by 4:30AM, woke up ~8AM, asleep at 10:30AM and woke up fully at 1:50PM.
-It's day time. I notice a crowd of bikers have arrived, it's like a convention. As I'm walking to my apartment door, two bikers back up into a parking spot near me. The dream glitches and they are on the sidewalk just in front of my door. I try to throw something into the dirt, like a piece of gum, and it hits the biker chick on the back. I say sorry but she gets off of her bike and begins complaining. She is 80 years old and has a horrible fake tan. I tell her not to kick me and she kicks her foot in the air and says "kick kick kick." I continue moving backward, and our dialogue is repeated many times, until I am near the apartment mailboxes across the parking lot and next to the garbage bins. Mancon comes along and says he's going to upload this in the main #DV room. I figure this lady and I are in a PM. (Skip) Instead of bikers inhabiting the complex, I now feel like they are DJ's and CD's are about to be burned. Images of colorful CD's being duplicated and enlarged fill my vision.

(Regular Dream, Fragment)
-I'm on M*s laptop again and notice the layout is distorted from messing with the source code. The text has changed and there is no memory on the drives. There is an option to kill and fix the computer, which I click.

(Regular Dream, Fragment)
-I'm laying in bed with M* in an unknown house or apartment, seemingly in a dining room-like area near a kitchen. We're enjoying our time together when my friend K*G* walks in with a crowd of friends whom are quite loud. Because M* is skittish around people like my friends, he tries getting up to leave and cries. I try to hold him with me. I stand up and explain to Kayla that he is shy.

(Lucid Dream, DILD)
-I'm hovering in the air above the black asphalt in the parking lot of my apartment complex. Luckily this LD has occurred in the day time. I continue to float around 5 feet in the air towards the main street through the less-steep road. As I slowly pass some bushes, I touch them and think how beautiful this moment is. I also wonder what other dreamers would think of simply enjoying the scenery in a dream. I turn the corner and see an attractive guy with black hair turn into the complex in a grey sports car. Even though he's gone I ask him why he did so in such a manner. He gave me a reply that I do not recall. I continue in the air up the street. I see a little black girl on the sidewalk who seems to need help. As I go to her, I acknowledge how I am using my arms like wings, in a robust but slow kind of way. I think that that the physical sensation of this is what has kept me lucid for the time I have been flying. My slight pessimism kicks in and I take a look at my hands to make sure I'm stabilized. I worry a bit about losing the dream. I address the girl and see she is wearing a yellow shirt with the letter "M", meaning McDonalds, on the front. I say "You are delicate." I try to pick her up to fly with me and lose my lucidity. Wake up.

I am at the Temple of Nothing. I am a black lion man.

(BTW this is from Carnal, a bad ass graphic novel in the making.)

COME TO ME, COME TO ME

my children, my ancestors, my friends, my family, my allies, my tribe. COME TO ME.

I play DON'T FUCK WITH THE MOON PEOPLE on my didjeridoo.

People stream in down the Dark Rainbow Road from Chichen-Itsa on Earth to the Temple of Nothing on the Moon.

Koomo rides up on the Black Moon Bus, and a bunch of Darklings pile out.

Xaphor, my red dragon DG leads a fleet of black Moon Dragons with crescent moons on their foreheads, and lands them on the Moon.

Atras and AndresLD appear near me talking at the same time.

Atras: YES YES YES WE ARE DOING IT!

We laugh and hi-5.

Atras: Are we going to remember this?

Me: I hope so.

Andres: Wow! We should battle!

Robo appears.

Robo: DUDE I AM SO MEGAMAN. But, check it, I have all these upgrades I bought at the store for free. check this shit out: PORTAL GUN! Robo charges up his arm gun, and shoots at the sky. A crazy portal opens, and hundreds of reploid people pour out. Robo runs to them, and hugs them. "I feel ... here. I feel like I belong. These people... are somehow my family?" I hear him thinking.

Andres leaps off the pyramid down into a free for all battle below.

Robo appears next to me with a female Reploid. "Omigod, NOMAD, this is my friend from another Dimension! She is REAL!"

I bow to her, and kiss her hand. She smiles at me, then at Robo. "I know," I say.

Robo flies off with the woman, shouting, "ADVENTURE!"

Atras keeps disappearing and reappearing. He keeps waking up, but is good at returning to the dream.

Atras: ACK! DAMMIT!

I grab Atras' hands. "Ok, look at me, now. Look into my eyes."

Atras: Holy shit, Nomad! You are a black lion... with golden eyes? You look crazy.

Me: Everything looks crazy. Look around you.

Atras takes it all in.

Me: Sit down.

Atras: Ok, now what.

Me: Now, we do Nothing.

Atras: Ok... what is that supposed to do?

Me: sh...

Atras: ok, I uh....

We sit in silence, looking over the City of Nothing. There are pyramids poking up above the jungle canopy. The wall can be seen in the distance with the Moai heads standing guard. The Hawaiian warriors paddle a war canoe through the sky on patrol. Flying cars whizz by. The Juargawn statue grins guarding the gate to the City. Below there is a silly dream battle.

Atras: wow. I feel like sleeping.

Me: Go ahead.

Atras falls asleep, and his strange robe becomes very detailed and crisp. He seems to be getting more solid. He wakes up two seconds later.

Atras: OMIGOD THAT DREAM WAS CRAZY! Wait! I am dreaming!

He does a RC.

Atras: HOLY SHIT.

He wakes up.

Raven walks around the corner from a portal with MoSh. She is picking little bat creatures off her that are draining her energy. I notice we all have parasites. We sit down without a word, and we do mutual healing. Raven plays ocarina, MoSh plays acoustic guitar, and I play the didjeridoo and Hawaiian nose flute.

"It's time to go," Raven says.

Was playing age with g. At first he rushed me with horses, killed my villagers, and beat me. The next game I built pikemen and knew exactly what he was going to try to do. I destroyed him with my villagers and pikemen. It then went to a mix game between diablo three and harry potter. Every time I would get close to killing the first boss something would go wrong ans I would have to try again. This went on repeat about 3 or 4 times and I would have to start over.

Woke from a dream but didn't move. I knew it was time. G was there sitting on the floor and I said watch this. I rolled really hard and got half way out. Not ready to open my eyes I felt myself shift out. I was going to continue the cycles but my gf alarm went off.

I was driving to a movie. A cop started following me for some reason and I was nervous. I went to pretend to buy a ticket (I already had one) and got some popcorn. He left me alone. Before that I took a few hits of acid. We were in a group of four and started playing in some cabin. I was with kara and Leo was without another. After that kara and the other girl got pissed for some reason so I left to explore. Everything was moving and going crazy. I drove around enjoying the acid. Leo was talking to his dad with g and said he wasn't leaving Seattle no matter what. His dad accepted and he said when his mom left Seattle he would visit. Leo looked happy.

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

Right, well, I haven't been on DreamViews in a while, but I just had to come back and post this one.

So, I'm sitting in my best friend's parent's room, but I guess I'm actually in my uncle and aunt's house. Somehow, I randomly become lucid (I can't pinpoint exactly when, which is frustrating, because I would have liked to remember for future reference) and I perform a reality check.

If ANY people read my dream journal entries, you know I'm obsessed with Inception. Well, I really wanted to hang out with the Inception team (again), so I walk out in to the living room and ask my Uncle and Aunt, "Have you seen Eames anywhere?" to which my Uncle replies, "Oh, he just left I think. Why?". I didn't know how else to respond with a 'reasonable' answer, so I just say "Uhh...he stole my lollipop." and my Uncle thinks this a perfectly acceptable reason.

I wake up. That was definitely a weird but short lucid. I perform the normal reality check I do every morning after I wake up and I'm surprised to find...I'm still dreaming!

Wow...this was almost a false awakening, it's a good thing I performed that reality check. Anyways, so I get up and walk into my living room (I'm at my mom's house now) and I see my brother, sister, and my best friend S standing there. I start to walk into my kitchen to explore, but come up with another idea.

I turn around and say to my sister, "You're not real, I'm dreaming right now," and she kind of gives me that look like she always does in real life that says 'Okay...you're weird.' I turn to my brother and tell him, "You too, you're just a projection." He starts laughing. Then I turn to S and say, "You too!" and she laughs like I just told a funny joke. I brush them off. I don't have time for this.

Suddenly, I wake up. Once more I perform the regular reality check and I'm even more surprised to discover I'm still dreaming! Wow!

I'm at my mom's house again this time, so I get out of bed and walk into my living room again. Once more, my best friend S is there, and I'm pretty sure my sister was there too, but my brother was nowhere to be seen.

I remembered I've always wanted to try transporting to another place, but I know that using mind power alone to go there never worked for me. So I approach my front door and tell myself that when I open it, I'll be where I wanna be. Outside my house, it's dark and kind of cold. I go up to the door, close my eyes, and open it. I tell myself, 'When I open my eyes, I'll be in Hawaii'.

My eyes are still closed, but I'm surprised to notice a sudden warmth and I can tell through my eyelids that it's now light outside. I hear the ocean.

I open my eyes and I'm thrilled to find myself standing on a beach with yellow sand, a crystal clear blue ocean, and scattered palm trees. My vision is rather blurred, for some reason, but I can still tell where I am. My sister and S are incredulous and ask "How did you do that?" before heading off to explore. I follow them to the edge of a little palm tree jungle thing before I wake up.

I'm at my dad's house now, which is where I fell asleep in real life. I'm now convinced I'm not dreaming. I go over the dreams I just had in my head, before I finally do a reality check.

And I'm still dreaming. Uhh...wow.

Well, anyways, so I don't know exactly what happened, but somehow I'm transported to a giant movie theater and I'm walking with my mom and a group of other people. I remember how I still wanna meet up with the Inception gang, so I ask my mom "Have you seen Arthur anywhere?" and she looks at me and asks, "Arthur?". I try a different approach. "Okay...have you seen Joseph Gordon-Levitt anywhere?" I ask her. She says, "I don't think so, why?" to which I reply, again, "He stole my lollipop." My subconscious apparently finds this as a normal excuse for wanting to find someone. Personally, I just wanna find him cuz he's hot.

ANYWAYS. So, I'm magically transported to a giant warehouse that doubles as a courthouse in the basement, and lo and behold, there's Arthur. I'm standing there with him at the entrance of said warehouse and there's a little boy who is an orphan. He needs money donations to help pay for a surgery he needs or else he might not make it. Despite my being lucid, I don't have any money on me, so I turn to Arthur.

"I don't have time for this, I'm a business man!" is all he says, because he knows I'm gonna ask him for money. "But he needs surgery," I tell him, and he says "I don't care how mean and horrible it makes me sound, we really should be going." and he pushes the little boy aside. Arthur is trying to stay serious but he looks upset and sort of guilty. (Why is it I always dream of him being sad/depressed?)

Anyways, all of a sudden, the boy becomes a part of this huge court case, and it turns out the little orphan was actually evil and was just tricking people into giving him money. Geez. I start running around the basement of the place and accidentally run into a courtroom and interrupt a session. A bunch of people that look like judges and lawyers are like, "Excuse me, you can't be in here!" and look at me angrily. I fumble to come up with a different excuse besides the lollipop one, because they look too serious to fall for that. "The boy...needs...help!" is all I could manage. Suddenly they look worried and all run out of the room. I follow them, only to discover Arthur is gone, and two of my friends are sitting at a little round table, coloring pictures.

I wake up. Well, not really. Still dreaming, according to the reality check. My vision is very blurred, but I can faintly make out my sister standing in the entrance of my room. She is standing there, staring at me, being SUPER creepy. She starts walking towards me and grabbing at me and I have to keep pushing her away.

As crazy as it make me sound, I'm just tired of this whole false awakening thing and I wanna wake up for real. I start screaming, "WAKE UP! WAKE ME UP!" and suddenly I find myself lying in my bed, again.

I know I'm not awake, and I don't even bother with a reality check. I'm just glad I got out of that creepy dream with my sister and I'm in a new dream.

That's when I realize I'm still in the same dream, and my sister is still standing there. UGH.

Suddenly, I actually wake up. It takes me a moment to realize that I'm really awake. For a second, I honestly wasn't sure whether I was in a dream or reality. I'm telling you, I'm losing my grip here.

I'm rather relieved to discover that I'm in the real world after performing a reality check. That was definitely one of the strangest lucid experiences I've ever had.

Bihon's Dream
Now this is the part where I get annoyed how I suck at dream incubation..

I was in this house, wherein me and a couple of friends and family shared it with another family. Now the other tenants were asleep when I saw them, but somehow we knew that they were from another reality, and we just shouldn't mess with them. My mom was there talking with her friend about a trip. The other family's bedroom was right across from where we were standing, and it seemed like a mission to try and not wake them up. It was still our house, yet it was also theirs. I played around with the light switches, and luckily, nothing had happened. I had this snake, made from a springy metal, and it talked to me into feeding it rust, and it grew. Later on, I did a nose plug, then I quickly realized it was a dream, but, I didn't want to interrupt what we had been doing, as if the mission still mattered. I remember looking up at the ceiling and seeing a machine moving above me, its metal a nice sheer black. At that point, I thought about my dream guide, I think I whispered with fear for him/her, but nothing had happened, my mind was still worried about whatever the mission had been. Not a single thought about Chichen-Itza . . . . I woke up.

I went lucid for the first time today in a long time and I believe I met my dream guide. The dream started with me playing soccer on my high school team. Typical dream, soccer was a big part of my life I dream about it a lot. But I was playing TERRIBLY. Under performance was always a big fear of mine. The score was 1-1...or it was a very close game definitely and then for some reason we completely restarted it towards the end of the first half. Can't remember why but the game then turned into something like 3D pong. Oh and for awhile the other team had a UFO sandwich that apparently absorbed the ball. My dreams are always kooky. I was a goalkeeper and when the pong ball got hit at me I got my hand on it but it went through, goal for the other team. Then I got really, really, really upset and angry. I was born an angry child. I thought I learned to let go of anger in eighth grade but I guess I didn't. The field changed and then the stands were in front of me and all of the fans started throwing things at me. Catchup and mustard from the concession stand. At first I was pissed but then suddenly I told myself to be calm. I took the mustard and catchup and started drawing flowers. I was more than aware at this point that I was dreaming.

I continued to draw flowers with the mustard and catchup. Thought it might be good practice you know of being calm. Then I turned the flowers into ornate designs that were in marble on the floor. I was in a city. I've never been to London but I think it kind of looked like London. Stone. But it was made of white stone. And my floor design (that I made from table condiments!) turned into a gorgeous black and white design that stretched under like a tunnel thing or a gate. The design turned into a representation of the solar system. I went to the middle or where I felt the energies were strong and tried to summon Jimmy Page (young Jimmy Page) because I wanted to talk to him about Stairway to Heaven and the occult. But he didn't appear and I could feel myself starting to become conscious. So I closed my eyes and decided I wanted to go to the beach.

Sure enough sand, beautiful sand, manifested under my hands and feet. I was scooping it up. The sight was blurry but it slowly came to be. I was at the beach. Turquoise water, beautiful sand, and for some reason many highways winding around each other floating in midair above the waters. I did not get the feeling that they were environmentally hazardous though that detail isn't really important. I can't remember what happened next, but somehow a man appeared to me. He didn't have a name or at least not that I was aware of but upon waking from this dream I am sure that he is my dream guide.

He had a car and we started driving along the freeway system I mentioned. The whole time he was speaking words of profound wisdom. I connected every lesson he told, and sadly I can't recall any of them verbatim, to my life. It was almost like when you first meet someone. I was telling him all about the sports I played, my hoop dancing, how I'm studying graphic design, all of these things. The only difference was I think he's well aware of all of it.

He was kind of a crazy driver there were times I thought we would for sure go flying off the side of the freeway into the ocean and I'd scream because I knew that would wake me up. I remember he asked me if I wanted to stop and I said no. Then I remembered how the dreamworld works. "No because we can breathe underwater you know," I said. "We absolutely can," he said back as the car plunged down a ramp into an underwater portion of the freeway system. And yes, we were both breathing water at that point.

Next thing I remember we were driving along the seaside itself. The waves were crashing all around us. Sometimes I felt scared we would be swept to sea. He told me that's why self control is so important. He said losing yourself due to a lack of self control is like being caught in an undertow and swept out to sea. He said lots of other things too. That's the only message I can really, really remember.

Then we parked. I felt like 2D Mario in a beautiful scene. And by that I mean depth perception felt completely removed. There was a reddish orange path that stretched forwards flanked on either side by a line of beautiful lime green leaved trees. Above that there was the deep cerulean turquoise of the ocean (not at all in typical landscape fashion) and above that was the tangerine sky. He led me to a spot between two trees where we sat. Other couples, some of which were not human, filed into the spaces between the other trees. On each side the trees were on regular intervals, the gaps between were snug and private, perfect for two people/raccoons/creatures to sit and talk.

Dream Guide told me he was a "personalizer." Not quite sure what that is. I curled up next to him fully expecting him to be embracing. Which he was, after awhile, but he started crying. "It's been so long since you've been here," he said. "So so long." I do not know where I was exactly.

Oh side note I forgot to add I think he was the dolphin from my last dream. I remember when we were driving and I was talking about being able to breathe underwater he jokingly started making dolphin noises and I laughed and said "Oh so you're a dolphin now?!" I'll post a link to that entry I'll write that one next.

Anyways while we were sitting I remember he rather forcefully said "Why don't you just ask the question?" Telepathically he communicated the words I needed to ask to me but that overwhelmed me and so I butchered it and asked "Why did I get to meet you?" That was the wrong question. He looked downtrodden. Then through the dreamscape I heard the phone ringing. I told him I was ignoring it so I could stay there but I think we both knew I was waking up. I looked at my hands and tried to make four butterflies come out to keep me in the dream world but it was too late. I woke up.

My dream guide looked like this.

Non-lucid, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

I'm in the parking lot of the office complex where I work. I suddenly think: I distinctly remember going to Toastmasters yesterday morning, then to work, but I haven't had any time off work since then. [I go to Toastmasters on Friday mornings, and I have the weekends off.] How did I get here? I'm here out of sequence, and I don't remember coming here. Oh, s*** – I must be dreaming. I pinch my nose and can breathe. Yep, I'm dreaming.

I decide to climb the outdoor stairs to the back door of my office. It only takes me four strides to get to the top of a staircase that I know has 14 or 15 steps. [Again, this was an example of that dream phenomenon where you focus on arriving at your intended destination and quickly arrive there, having “fast-forwarded” through the act of getting there.] I figure that the door is probably locked because it's not business hours, so there shouldn't be anyone inside. I attempt to use my dream ability to become intangible and walk through things to get into the office, but it doesn't work. The door remains solid to me. However, I quickly discover that the door is, in fact, unlocked, and just open it. [Apparently, my brain likes to do things in the simplest way possible.]

The office looks exactly like it does in reality, except that there is a large, round, pink toy Jigglypuff sitting on the reception desk. This makes me laugh. [In real life, that desk is decorated only with pictures of the occupant's kids, who are now young adults, and some artificial plants. The occupant would never even own such a thing, much less display it on her desk.] I think, That's a random thing for my brain to put there!

I wander into my boss's office. There is a small, clear plastic bag of broken crayon pieces on his desk, mostly blue, orange, and green. It makes sense for them to be there, because he has young children. I pick up a crayon piece and contemplate eating it, but I think that that wouldn't be very nice, because these crayons belong to the boss's kids. Then I think, The real $Boss is never going to know, and pick up a small piece and swallow it. As in my previous lucid, I can feel it, but the sensation is weaker than it would be in real life.

I go back out to the main room, where the reception desk is, and stand just to one side of it. I hear my boss's voice as he comes up the indoor stairway. Then my boss comes into the office through the front door, followed by his entire family. I'm naked [as I have been throughout this dream, but I haven't felt the embarrassment that I usually feel in my dreams that involve nudity]. At first I stay where I am, thinking, I don't mind if he sees me. It's just a dream, after all. But the force of the social taboo overwhelms me, despite my conscious effort to resist it, and I try to hide behind the reception desk. He doesn't appear to take any notice of me at all.

I run back out the back door, down the stairs, and into the parking lot. I see that it's nighttime. I say aloud, “Well, I can bloody well make it daytime!” I attempt to change the dream scene from night to day by closing my eyes, turning in a circle while thinking about what I want to have happen, and then opening them again. It doesn't work. It's still nighttime.

Then the dream shifts. It looks like the new scene is rising up from behind the foreground of the first scene, then replacing it. [That's the best I can describe it; I don't remember the transition really well.] I say, “Cool!”

I'm now indoors, in a portable classroom filled with school desks. I'm wearing regular clothes again, too. There are students and teachers here. One of the teachers starts singing “Amazing Grace,” and I sing along. We sing the entire first verse. I think, Cool. I've been wanting to sing an entire song in a dream. I know there' s more than just that one verse, but I feel like I've accomplished that goal.

The classroom starts to fly. It flies over a cityscape that I know is in China. We're heading out toward the ocean.

[There was another dream scene after this one, but I don't remember much about it. I know it was indoors, and I think it involved me and my mom searching for and trying to identify the perpetrator of a crime.]

Yep, this morning was epic. I got 3 TotYs done, got a new record in DEILD chains, and a sex LD at the and for a reward

The dream began with me snowboarding, which was wierd because it's August, but i didn't think anything of it. All I remember is going off a cliff and falling several hundred feet. At first I thought I was going to die, and i didn't really panic that much, for some reason, but the second though that popped into my head was that this can't be real, it must be a dream! So I decided to wait for a DIELD instead of trying to save this mess. I instantly started spinning but by this time i was already below the tree line. I never actually hit the ground but instead i just woke up.



I didn't move, didn't open my eyes, and relaxed, remember spinning in my last dream and imagined me in my room, which is normally where i go after DEILDs, and after only a few seconds I was standing in my room, looking out the window into my neighborhood. It worked! i was lucid! I rubbed my hands together, focused on everything around me, and just stood there for a good 15 seconds, I didn't want to waste this one. The first thing that popped into my head was a sex LD, but i did that the other night, so I decided i would try to do a TotY. The first one that popped into my head was the 300 Spartans, a pretty cool one so i walked over to my door and though, "Behind this door is the battle of Thermopoly.

It worked and I was standing behind a bunch of guys who i assumed were romans, all in bronze and armed with shields and spears, and they were standing in the formation they were in the movie. Across the pass I could see tons and tons of persians, in their all black suits from the movie. I spawned a shield and spear, but after a second, i figured since i was in a dream i could do better than just mimicing the spartans. Instead I got two machete type blades and was ready to kick ass. Right as i picked up my weapons, the persians started to charge.

I thought about how i should make this epic, so I yelled out, "Epic music please!" and, surprisingly, it worked! There was some sort of battle music going on, which I've been searching youtube for and have yet to find anything Still, there was an epic battle going on in front of me, and i jumped into it. The moves seem to flow out of me, without any effort at all. I was out in front surrounded by persians, I felt invincible. At one point a dozen persians charged me at once, I jumped up, and decided to try something new, telekenesis. I waved my hand in a motion so that they would fall into the sea, but it didn't work (I should work on that). Instead i used something i already knew, fire. I burned a whole group of them and used the fire to push them into the sea. A little different but it worked . Finally, i decided to just wreck the persians. I tol all the spartans to stand back, which they reluctantly did, and i conjured up an absolutely MASSIVE fire wave! And when I say massive, I mean the width of the entire pass, and probably a mile tall. It took a lot of energy and was hard to hold up, but I just pushed it out towards the persians.

The fire was somewhat translucent so you could see them all run away as the wall roared toward them. They tried to run away as fast as they could, and some even jumped in the water, but they were eventually encased in the fire wall, and all the spartans cheered. I felt like such a badass. I don't normally fight a lot in LDs, just do TotYs/TotMs and the IOSDP. (sorry guys, forgot it started friday night ) I should do this more often! After the fire wall dispersed I started to walk toward the charred bodies but i started to feel the dream fading. I rubbed my hands together to try and save it, but it didn't seem to be working. Maybe a giant fire wall wasn't the best choice for stability. Nevertheless, I woke up.

I found the song that was playing! It truly is awesome music: Youtube.com - Future World Music - Dream Chasers


As you can tell from the title though, I still had 4 more LDs that morning. I patiently sat there and did the same thing as last time, and once again I was standing in my room in another LD. I figured i could knock out 2 TotYs in one go, so i figured i would do Jaws next, since that seems like a fun one. I walked through my door again thinking that i will be on a boat in the middle of the ocean fighting jaws, and it worked! I came out of the hull of the ship (whatever the little room is inside) and was on a ship with one other person. He said that a "whale be after me booty." I told him it wasn't a whale, it was Jaws, a giant shark. The only annoying thing about this is that he had a really thick french accent, but tried to speek like a pirate. Oh god it was annoying! I told him he wasn't french and that he wasn't a pirate, so he stopped talking like a pirate, but not a frenchman. He said, "Im from Canada, not France." A little better but i would've prefered someone else.

At the moment he spoke the ship started to rock violently, as if a shark had hit it! I figured i would just get this done with quickly, since my DEILDs don't normally last as long as that last one, and as i chain them they get progressively shorter and shorter. I saw the sharks fin in the distance and grabbed a shotgun i found laying on the deck. I shot at the shark but it didn't seem to do anything... just like in the movie. I figured that since bullets didn't affect him, and the only other person on the boat was an obsessive animal killer, just like in the movie, so i figured i would kill it with a scuba tank, like they did in the movie.

I taunted the shark to come up on the boat, and even tried to give it a treat like it was a dog, but it just stayed in the water, circling the boat. I decided i would use the canadian, who was just sitting on top of the boat yelling at the thing, as bait to get the shark up here. I grabbed him and put him on the back side of the boat and yelled at the shark again, sayinf i have a better treat now. The shark seemed to like it so he hopped up on the boat and tried to catche the guy. He ran away though and just hit inside the boat for the rest of it. I grabbed a scuba tank that was lying on the back of the boat and threw it at the shark. I wanted to hurry it up since i could feel the dream fading. "Not now, I'm almost done!" I yelled. I grabbed the gun and shot the scuba tank. It didn't blow up. I was pissed, and just decided to explode the shark. The dream was almost completely gone but i was still there, and I just yelled at the shark, "Blow up you bastard!" And he did! The shark disappeared and i could finally sigh a sigh of relief knowing that i didn't waste the dream.



Once again, i was laying in my bed and decided to try for yet another DIELD. I just layed there, didn't do anything and resisted the urge to swallow which had suddenly come up. I was persistant and manage to get back into another LD. I wasn't in my room this time. Instead i was at my cousin's house, which was actually pretty nice. Nobody else was home, which was kind of wierd, but i didn't really care. I decided that I could get away with yet enother TotY, this time, The Godfather. It was a short, simple task that I could get done quickly and wouldn't risk another dream cut short. I decided to try just snapping to the scene this time instead of using a door, which I do sometimes. I thought to myself, "To the Godfather's daughter's wedding," and snapped my fingers.

I ended up in a chair of sorts and there were a bunch of people around me. I was at a wedding! There were two people getting married who I assumed were the godfather's daughter and her fiance, but I had never seen the movie . I walked into the house behind everybody and noticed a large line of people. I figured they were in line to ask the godfather for something, so i just followed it, cutting everyone in line (getting in front of them, not literal cutting ) and making some people angry . I finally made it to a room where a large italian person was sitting there, talking to somebody. I assumed he was the godfather, but wasn't 100% sure. I walked up to him once he was done talking to the other guy, and thought about what i was going to ask. I decided, longer LDs! I talked to him, saying, "Hey, godfather, you give favors on your daughter's wedding day, right?" to which he replied, "of course, haven't you seen my movie?" I shook my head a little bit, but he didn't seem to care.

"Well then," I said, "Can you grant me longer lucids? You know, so I don't wake up early like i almost did last dream." I could see him start to crack a smile, and eventually a grin, and then start to laugh. I was confused, so i asked him what was so funny. He told me, "You imbicile, this is not the day of my daughter's wedding, but the day of my son's wedding!" "Wait," i said, "then you don't grant favors?"

"No, no," he said, "I ask others for favors on my sons wedding." I was surprised. So that was his son getting married, not his daughter. I turned to him and said, "So, umm... what do you want me to do?" I was a little worried, i had no idea what he would say, so i was kind of surprised when he said, "All I want is for you to wake up, and get the hell out of my dream!" WTF! His guards he had right next to his door turned at me and shot me! Like, 50 times! Of course, after this I woke up. Come on though, that's the second TotY that has caused me to wake up because of something in the dream!



I did yet another DEILD and decided I did enough TotYs for one day, and i had a sex LD, to celebrate that and breaking my previous DEILD chain record. However, in it i change dit up, and had sex as a chick instead of a guy. It was really different, but felt really good. I don't know which i like better



After that DEILD i decided to se ehow far i could go. I continued to lay still, and did yet another DEILD. I was standing in my room, again! It was my 5th LD that morning, all of which were DIELDs, and i felt like a king . Unfortunately, before i could even do anything, I woke up due to my mom coming in and making me wake up. I looked at the clock and it turned out that all these dream occurred over the course of about 15 minutes. The dreams combined would have added to about 30 minutes total. That kind of interested me, but I wasn't surprised. Still, I got 5 LDs in one day, and 3 task of the years. All in all, my best yet

My dream starts out looking at a number on the wall that I am supposed to hear from regarding an internship. I am for some reason in my parents room, and sure enough the number calls. I got the internship, and I am very pleased. My parents congratulate me, but then I have a false awakening. I wake up in my parents bed room, but this time a different number is posted on the wall, one that made no sense. It was like "1-808-VTLR79__" or something. At this point I was like "oh shit, that last time it was a dream, so this is just another dream." Then I got really excited and became lucid after looking away at the number on the wall and looking back it it. Then that's when it became weird...

As soon as I turned lucid, The left side of my body in the dream stopped working completely, including my eye which now all I could see was black. Getting a little rattled, I yelled "lights on!" and "left side begin working!" After I yelled this, I remember going into sleep paralysis for a split second, and then closing my eyes to be shot straight into another dream.

When I entered my dream, I was completely lucid, and was somewhere on the rural streets of Beijing, China. I am not sure how I knew that, I just knew. Anyways, I noticed my dream was a little unstable, so I calmed down and began looking in detail at my environment for a while. I also did a couple spins and rubbed my hands together to ensure that the dream would be stable for at least a while. Then, I began walking down the streets in attempt to begin some lucid goals of mine.

I stopped at an intersection, and made myself start physically-shifting. An incredible pain had initiated where the muzzle would be breaking through. Very similar to my phantom limb shifts in real life, except a LOT more pain involved. I felt ears piercing through my skull in order to struggle out. At this point I wanted to make sure my shifting was going on as planned, however, when I started looking at my body and feeling around there was absolutely no evidence that I had physically started shifting. After this, my shift stopped all of a sudden, and I became extremely frustrated. Because I am usually able to fly in my dreams, I wanted to make sure not all my superpowers were affected. Unfortunately they were too.

At this point I decide to turn at the intersection and start running on all fours and initiating a mental shift in my dream to see if it would help. After a while, I came out of the shift realizing nothing had happened. I gave up in frustration, and began to climb a wall nearby in effort to find higher ground (began to lose my lucidness). However, in attempting so I fell and slipped. It hurt like shit. Dream fades on...

------------------------------------------

I am at a ski resort, or in Alaska somewhere living in little huts with a bunch of friends. There is snow absolutely covering everything. "J" is in the same bedroom as me, and we are roommates. I miss the bus to go somewhere because I am too busy looking for my m4a1 assault rifle (a real one) that I thought was in my paintball duffelbag.

I close my eyes and feel large hands moving across my stomach. The changeover must have happened so quickly and undetectably, I'm slightly surprised, yet pleased. The hands are not threatening, they seem to be almost searching. I grasp the hands and pull a being into my other bedroom. It's night so all I can see is the dark outline of his figure. "Who are you?" I ask inquisitively. He responds, but I'm unsure of the name he gives. He spoke softly, and he had a thick other wordly sort of accent that I've never heard before. His name sounds something like Astaroth. His skin is soft and smooth and he appears to be completely hairless. He embraces me and I run my hands over his back...wings. He kisses me passionately, and I notice his teeth are sharp and pointy. A demon. He asks for my body. I consent. Then he asks what I want in return. I've never been asked this before and am not sure what to say nor can I think of anything. Then I telepathically send him an image, he nods, and we spend several steamy minutes together, after which he fades into the darkness and I wake up.

I stood off my bus like usual, except it was in Holme, which is a bit before I usually get off, so I had to walk the rest of the way. I was wearing headphones around my neck, and a white dax helmet in my arm. I put the helmet on with the shield down, but it was too small - the windshield hurt my nose. I readjusted it a couple times, while walking my way home, and thinking that I forgot my dax at home. I came to the decision of leaving the shield halfway down so my nose was free. I was walking at insane speed, and as I saw the road I needed to walk along to get home, I had to stop myself from walking further. As I was halfway down the road, I remembered that I don't even have a dax. I figured it must be a dream, and did a nose check to be sure. I didn't actually expect it to be a dream, so it came as a small surprise when I could breathe. Before I did the reality check, everything around me was bright in sunshine, and vivid as in real life. After the reality check, it immediately toned gray, and I struggled to focus. I eventually shut my eyes open, and was awake.


Side note: I remember that I saw my iPod all oddly bent as if it was caramel. I don't recall where in the dream I saw it though, - probably while walking - but I remember seeing that in another dream as well.
That's one dream sign for me A deformed iPod.
