lucid

I remember being at a best buy, and I had a PS3 controller in my hand. It was a remote for this hologram that walked around the store. The guy was about 5 foot, and it was pretty fun.......recall is jacked up so.......

I'm pulling swords out of thin air, specifically clouds buster sword. I did a scene change by laying in the grass face first, and melting through the ground. The next scene I saw two samurai looking guys who were unarmed. Of course they wanted to fight, and they were laughing at the huge weapon I had. I threw it away, and tried to pull out another....didn't work. I tried again, and I pulled out this deep black sword with japanese writing written down it. (it looked similar to Aurons) I don't remember much else other than fighting them bare handed....

I am praying to god that I am using this system correctly.

Notes:
*Gone to bed around 1 AM but due to my father not shutting his trap fell asleep around 4 AM. The sound of my dad voice could turn my mood from happy to depressing...The biggest turn off for me EVER. I don't hate my dad though we not the best paring in the world...It is just his voice....
*During this time I think my body fell asleep before my mind.
*Woke up around 5:00 AM
*Was hungry the night before but out of laziness and mood ate nothing.

Dream:

I was dreaming of being in (or just looking at) Maplestory FreeMarket. This was one of the last pictures I looked at that night: http://www.basilmarket.com/show/scre...ts_clean_.html

The area is backwards due to game version (MSEA compare to GMS) which I recall it was the same in my dream.

I was in my dark room and I decided to go to my living room which was also dark as hell. I walk back to my room which the door was open less then halfway. I heard a toy robot (which I didn't see but got an image in my head of what it look like...I just now recall where it came from, it was from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood where Al became depressed) and for some reason it was scaring me. I ran to to living room to turn on the light (lamp) but I notice the robot was going super fast and I was going nowhere for a small house.

[Lucid]
Surrounded by darkness I couldn't care less about the toy and try to go from running to flying (Super Sonic style) but notice that I am waking up so I just woke myself up. I basically told myself "screw it, I will try it next time."

[Awake]
Sleep paralysis kicked in...

All of this time I thought it was just my body being lazy...When I think of paralysis I was thinking of not being able to move no matter how much you try which is somewhat true...But to me...It was more like your body is just too lazy to move.

The window which I can't see out of have a UFO kind of light...I was saying "eat me, eat me" though sleep paralysis wouldn't let me speak.

Here a little note about myself. Eat me is a insult, "kill me", "eat me", basically "have your way with me" but not really sexual though I guess it could be, "possess me" all in one. I am a little suicidal when it come to dreaming (which is funny as in life I wouldn't dare to take risks) and I often couldn't care less.

One dream (not sure if it was recorded or not) I told a demon to "fuck off" while giving it the finger just so the demon to kill me in one fast attack...Yea...

The window didn't have any bright lights when the paralysis wore off.

Now that I know what sleep paralysis truly is now, I now can use it.

Background
Dream
Lucid

Just before bed I read a story about a soldier that lost is hand by grabbing a grenade that went off. I looked a lot of other pictures of amputees ranging from missing all limbs to missing a finger. Then I watched some Tv then fell asleep on the couch. I wind up in my room sitting on the bed. I look and my hand and realize a finger is missing. Just as I'm starting to freak out about my missing finger I blurt out "Wait... This is a dream. I'm dreaming!!!!" I'm over come with excitement. It felt like finding $1000 on the ground. I got so excited that I started to wake up. Now I'm walking down a busy street. I thought "NO NO NO, Stay sleep, Focus Focus..." I look down at my feet and as I do, a woman less than 10 feet in front of me disappears. As im concetrating on staying asleep, Im watching my feet take each step. I notice that everything is disappering. The buildings, people, cars, everything is fading away as they sink into the ground. The sidewalk is changing before my eyes from the normal grey to brown cobblestone walkway and spreading across the entire world. As i'm still looking at my feet I think "I wonder if I can fly." I pick up my feet and begin to float. I'm going at the same height and pace as I was when walking but I'm FLOATING!!!. I can speed up and slow down but can't go any higher. Right then I thought "Find a hot woman Now!!"

As I look up the sidewalk drops off into the ocean. There's about 50 to 60 feet of ocean between the sidewalk and the shore. On the beach, there are about 6 people. One is a HOTT!!! Brazilian woman, tall, Thin.. Thick in the right places, curly blonde hair. We talk very briefly and start making out... After a few seconds she pushes me away and says "My boyfriends over there." and walks away. I'm thinking "Ummm... NO! That's not how this works... This is my dream... F*** your boyfriend." As soon as we start making out again, I wake up, in my bed, Thinking "That was freaking Awesome...." Only to later REALLY wake up (on the couch). FA

It was a false awakening. I noticed it was a dream because everything had a much starker contrast. It was dark but the night sky was this impossible cartoon shade of dark purple-blue. I was compelled to run. I was lucid and I was excited. This immediately put intense strain on the whole dream and I could feel my blankets on my chest. I grasped at a banister by the stairs and rubbed it to stay in control. I knew it wouldn't last so my first instincts were to start sprinting outside so that I could enjoy my lucid before it snapped. As I ran into the large living room/kitchen area in my house, I could feel the dream slipping again and I sprinted towards the window above the sink in an attempt jump out. I remember jumping at it, noting the odd shade of the sky. But before I made contact with the glass, I could feel the blanket on me again an I woke.

A shame.

Lucid Dream 244: Yoshi, The Young Phenom
Series: Star Power, Episode 2
DILD



I was in a locker room getting ready for the upcoming hockey game. I was on the Tampa Bay Lightning. My friend Diddy was also on the team and we were sitting on the locker room bench beside each other. Our coach, Denzel Washington, entered the locker room and told us it was time to roll. We all got up and marched out through the hallway. Our skates were tapping the ground in unison as we walked out of the locker room and down a long hallway. I lead a chant to the beat of our skates tapping the concrete..."Everywhere we go-OOO....people want to kno-OOW...who we ar-RRRE...so we tell them...we are the LIGHTNING....the mighty, mighty LIGHTNING." We reached the end of the hallway and stepped onto the ice. Some skated to the bench and the rest of us skated to the center of the rink.

I can't remember the very start of the match, but it was a finals game against the Rangers (which isn't even possible ...both are in the Eastern Conference). I noticed Diddy break on a pass by the Rangers, so I streaked down the right side of the rink. Diddy stole the pass and made an absolutely beautiful pass to me as I approached the net. I one-timed it for the first goal of the match. Instead of a face-off, the referee just threw another puck into the rink. The previous puck simply vanished. One of the Ranger players retrieved the puck and started heading toward us. I read his move and stole it from him and streaked down the center of the rink, all alone. I faked a slapshot and did a quick "flick of the wrist" shot in the vacant part of the goal (the goalie fell for the slapshot fake). The game carried on and I can't recall everything that happened, but the first period had ended and we were up 4-0. I had all 4 goals in the first period, but my skates had broken. I took off to the locker room to find some more and I suddenly became lucid for no apparent reason.

I couldn't wait to get back out on the ice whilst lucid, so I searched the locker room for an extra pair of skates. I a pair of old boxing boots/sneakers. The ones that almost lace up to the knee. I put them on and just acted like they were skates. As I stepped back into the hallway, I heard the familiar clank of metal on concrete. I looked down and noticed they now had blades on the bottom and had changed color from a dusty brown to a lime green. I skated on the concrete and toward the rink. As I stepped out onto the ice, the entire crowd erupted with cheers. It was an amazing feeling to have that many people going crazy for you.

There was a faceoff this time and as we were lining up for it, I could hear the broadcasters talking. "The Lightning has found themselves a player to build this franchise around." The other broadcaster responded. "This Reed kid can really play. Once these playoffs are concluded, the coach and GM are going to be working out a long term deal for sure." I was skating around getting a feel for the rink. It felt much like the dreams where I have skated around with my tennis shoes. I started skating backwards as the Ranger with the puck approached. He quickly passed it over to his teammate who started his slapshot. I skated over in front of him and allowed the puck to slam off my chest. I then kicked it out in front of me and took off. I was zig-zagging defenders as I made my way toward the net. I lifted the puck into the air with my mind and then swung at it like a baseball. The puck zoomed at light speed, ripped a whole in the net, and tore a hole in the rink wall. The goalie didn't even have time to react. I was even surprised at how fast it flew. They called timeout for people to come repair the whole in the wall and I lost lucidity at this time.

We resumed play and we ended up winning 7-0. In the locker room we were partying. Everyone was popping open the champagne battles and we started playing champagne pong. Me and Diddy were dominating. I woke up sometime during this party, but I can't remember exactly when it was.

Non-Dream/Lucid/Non-Lucid/Dream counter

DREAM 1: I were in the living room with my mom, talking about something. My mom was sitting in my chair and another "mom" appeared from my room. Yep...the cloned mom that tried to attacked me in another dream went back. I knew this time was the shadow (We'll get to that later...through you should know about the shadow if you read my first post in my DJ). I was like "WTF the shadow is back? I must be dreaming!" so I did an RC to confirm it.
I confronted my fears and just told that cloned mom to leave. I had to do it...I wouldn't let my dreams haunted anymore by stupid shadows (Subconscious 0, Me:1). After she left I was trying to do something but my mom started talking with me and I lost my lucidity and forgot what I was going to do. (Subconscious:1, Me:1)
DREAM 2: [Here I dreamed something about witches and I was solving a mystery...but I barely remember a thing from that dream. If I recall something I promise I'll tell you...as it was a very interesting one.]
DREAM 3: I woke up in the living room. Instead of doing an RC, I was convinced that it was reality and I was trying to remember the second dream (Yeah in the dream I totally remembered it...Subconscious: 2, Me: 1).
I was so convinced that it was reality that when I did an RC and I saw I can breath through the fingers I though maybe the reality check is not designed well and you can breath even if you plug your nose in reality (Subconscious:3, Me:1).
Like it was not enough at the TV I watched a Scooby-Doo episode that was starring...my second dream. (Subconscious:4, Me:1)

Despite the fact that the subconscious won, I actually completed another one of my lucid goals and had another lucid dream!!
So... Get the trash out of my subconscious (Confront my fears) [X]

Dream Legend:
The shadow - The shadow is a recurring character that appears in many of my nightmares. He morphs into my mom and chases me to freak me out in my dream.

1) No recall...

2) Personal dream I'll not post here.

13-07-11 I am on a beach and there are someone there that I am supposed to remember. The scenario concerns shared dreaming. I turn lucid at some point though the trigger eludes me and the vividness of the dream isn't great. The person running the show isn't who I expected. A couple of other rookie lucids are there with me as well. They all tell me their names and I find it important to remember them, but they are soon forgotten. Was there a Mark in there, and someone whose name begins with an R (Not supprising considering I readh MoShs shared dreaming thread just before bed). In any case the whole thing is a bit difficult to explain. The beach seems to be this gigantic hub and the leader is passing from one person to another assisting them, either with control or something else.

When I step in an start directing the show a bit, it is with great respect for the people around me. I say something like.

“Right, time for dream stabilisation, how do you guys normally do this?”
There may be some mumbling amongst 3-5 people standing by the waves before the answer is returned.
“Have you tried spinning?”
“Think I have done, but not in a while.”

I start spinning, but not your average spinning. I utilise a technique I have picked up in my non-lucids where I gradually spin with my body more and more parallel to the ground. People either try trampling me or try and jump over me and I become a bit playful and start doing some whirled spinning jumps up amongst the people standing right next to me. I turn around and spin around with my back towards the sand. Though this is fun I don't think I am engaging the scenario enough and I soon wake up.
…

I recall only the dream after I turn lucid. I may have been lucid prior, but what is written is what I remember. I know that the dream was long prior to what I remember though. I am in some sort of hall. It reminds me of a mixture of a factory warehouse and a sports hall. I think of what the task of the month is and I remember it is about ”where the wild things are” and becoming their king.

I don't encounter any wild things to my memory, but I undertake a quest to summon their king and dispose of him. There are three pre-quests I have to fulfil before I can find him. These three quests will grant me three keys I have to use to get the final key. I start the first one but start thinking that I may not have much time left in the dream, so I decide to cheat by flyng up and grabbing the key from a wooden box with a narrow opening in it. My flying isn't really controlable at first but I manage to snatch the key before I start the descent.

I defy my lack of ability to fly as I head for a risen platform hovering above the floor where the King will spawn. ”I am dreaming I know I can fly!” and this thought makes it possible. There are four boxes on the platform, one at each corner. I put in the key and turn it. There is a mechanical vibration in my hand as I do this and looking out over the floor I can see four elements descending from the ceiling forming a square. I know the king will be in the middle of these. I look around on the other key hole boxes on the platform and wonder why there are keys in all of them, though i reason that if I hadn't cheated I would have had four keys in total.

After a short while the king makes an appearance, He approach from a gate on the lefthand side and as he makes his way towards the descending things he is ethereal at first. I figure I will have to wait until he takes on coporeal form to attempt an attack on him. At first when he takes on bodily form he is naked and very white, sorta vampyrish, however I am dreaming and have no fear so I jump down flying at great speed towards him. When I arrive he has taken on a bunny suit and is slightly fat. I tell him I challenge him and put up my fists preparing for a boxing round.

Before the fight starts we are interrupted though by 3-5 people wearing black cloathing, the leader seems to be a woman. I feel slightly frightful and grab the king and take him behind a shelf.

”Wasn't I dreaming, I am sure I was dreaming, there is no need to hide” I think to myself.

I look at my hand and as I do a couple of extra fingers start growing so I am reassured and take the king and walk over to the people. I also know that I can't really hurt anyone so I talk to the woman and tells her to grab hold of the kings legs.

I grab his head and rip it clean off and I am somewhat relieved that it makes the sound of clothing being ripped as this happens. He was only stuffed afterall.

I start walking towards the gate the king appeared from and think to myself. ”Damn, you got that ”where the wild things are” story completely screwed up, this probably won't count anyways”. ”Ah well it was mildy enjoyable in any case”. After this I wake up.…

I am in a room and a handful of attractive women are there and I am talking to Kaiser about Caroline Loven. I tell him that I have been with her 4 times. I am going through the excersise starting at 5 trying out 3, but decide on 4 (the actual number is 2). I am unsure as to how the conversation arose, but think we were discussing attractive women we had been with.

Skip

I look outside the window and am surprised to see a large red building move towards my left away from me. I think it a bit weird, but quickly someone tell me that TV2 is going to get their asses handed to them for this as apparently they are to blame. I recall the television show and don't find it particularly weird (Would have hated myself for missing this, if it wasn't for the fact that I had already had one lucid that night ^^).

I became lucid for some reason and though for the totm I had to kill a guy with a knife and a gun so I picked those up, but when I checked the gun it only had one bullet.

Goals: Gone With the Wind TOTY, visit the Dream World Academy.

I dreamed that Cedar Point had been moved to a nearby city to mine. So, my Dad takes me and my brothers to Cedar Point. We are now at Cedar Point. [SPOILER][/SPOILER]
We go in. The place is awesome. My older brother and I go over to a newly installed ride. We get on. It is an orangish-colored coaster. We ride the coaster, and there is some sort of mission we have to do. We end unfailing the mission(I can't recall what it was). But we still had fun on the coaster. We get off and go to play a real life game of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I forget exactly what happened, but I do recall kicking some major ass. So now, I believe I saw a dream sign. So I became lucid! Oh hell yeah! Time to do some serious business! I recall having to do the Gone With the Wind TOTY. Time to do it! I now ki speedily my way to a house that looks fancy. It's a brick house.
[SPOILER][/SPOILER]
I see Rhett walk out very fast with a black suit case. Scarlett follows close behind.
"Wherever shall I go? Whatever shall I do?" Scarlett asks Rhett.
"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." Rhett harshly replies to Scarlett. He stops when he sees me.
"You don't give a damn, huh?" I say. Rhett knows I mean business. He brakes into a sprint, and Scarlett tries to chase him. I break into a sprint too. I'll give that bastard a piece of my mind. I begin chasing him. I easily pass Scarlett. After about running a whole block, I reach Rhett. I grab him by the shoulder and turn him to face me. I punch him square in the face!
"Just take Scarlett back or you'll be a worthless piece of shit for the rest of your life Rhett!" I snap(not my exact words, I can't recall them exactly). Rhett recovers. We're now under a brick bridge. A lot of people notice the scene happening. Now, Rhett gives Scarlett a super romantic speech(I sadly can't recall any of it). I realize that we're near a church. What a place to make a romance scene, eh? So, now he's done, after a literal three minute speech. The two kiss. Yucky! LOL. Anyway...I must have put some damn good power into that punch. If Rhett was able to forgive and forget that easily. Oh well. Yay! My eighth TOTY is completed! Four more to go! Now, I need to go visit the Dream World Academy. I start to fly over the church, when I see George Lopez sitting with the Priest at a white table with a white umbrella.
[SPOILER][/SPOILER]
I land by them.
"What's up George?" I say. I notice he's making something. "Making pot? Haha. Just kidding." George laughs too. The priest doesn't notice me. I walk past him, then ki speed fly away. I fly past some trees, and then there's the Dream World academy. It's set up is like what insideout drew in his DWA dream. Two bed post towers, castle in the back, village up front. I land and there's a gate the reads "Dream World Academy." the castle looks cool.
[SPOILER][/SPOILER]
I proceed through the gate, and like twenty armed Templars come at me. Oh shit! I pull put two Westar-33 Blaster Pistols and aim.
"It's okay! I'm a lucid dreamer!" I say, rest to fire. They stop.
"You may go in." One guard says in a deep voice. They have cool armor. All black, with spikes and stuff. The helmets had two black horns bent like an L. They had giant-ass black swords too. You could see there eyes in the visor, which were just blue circles. I proceed into the castle. The castle is all black on both in the inside and outside. I walk in, a man walks up to me. He looks a lot like George Washington.
"Are you worthy enough to wander in Dream World Academy?" he asks. I quickly beat him down and put one blaster pistol to the back of his head, and the other to his chin.
"Is this worthy enough for you?" I ask, applying pressure with the blasters.
"Yes. Please let me give you the tour." he replies. I let him go.
"One second, I need to carefully observe the castle." I say. I look around. A hallway on both sides of me, and one in front of me. A red carpet leads from the door to the first room in front of me. Down the left hall, I see another hallway going both ways, and a set of stairs going up is at the start of the hall. The right hallway also has two more halls going each way. This place is pretty awesome. We now go the the room in front of us. The red carpet leads down about a fifteen foot hallway. There are lit torches about every three feet on both sides. At the end of the hall, the carpet ends. We proceed into the kitchen. The first room. It has white-tiled walls and floor. On the left are stairs going down. On the left, is a gas stove and oven. Then past that is a countertop and sink. I notice another exit on the parallel side of where I am. It leads into a dark room. The guide now leads me down stairs. The room is semi dark. A few windows are here. There are multiple shelves, and tables all over here. There everything you could ask for here. The ground is solid grey brick. As well as the walls. The guide now stands in a far corner of the room. I notice a vintage drum kit, and go over and sit down and I play a blues beat.
[SPOILER][/SPOILER]
They literally have everything down here. I go over to a table with hand guns on it. There's a price tag that said something around $9.00. I'm surprised by the low price. It's a real hand gun! I now go back to the drums. A girl comes down the stairs. She has an old Revolutionary War pistol. She shoots me in my left shoulder with it. And it actually hurt! What the fuck, bitch?! I jump over the drums as she runs into a corner.
"Kamehame...HA!" I blast her with a large blue ki blast. There's nothing left of her. Oops. Shit. I didn't mean to go THAT far. I go behind the drums now. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Herminie Granger all come downstairs now. [SPOILER][/SPOILER]
Harry fires the death spell at me!
"Avada Kedavra!" he shouts. What the fuck? I easily deflect it with my hand though. Wow, I stopped an "unstoppable" spell! Haha! Mike Dirnt now comes down with his bass guitar. Holy shit! Mike Dirnt!
[SPOILER][/SPOILER]
He now throws his bass at me. I dodge it. Hey! I feel betrayed by my favorite bassist now! Now, Billie Joe Armstrong comes down with his guitar.
[SPOILER][/SPOILER]
I run over an hug him. He's my idle! Now, everyone is grabbing weapons and getting ready to kill me. I better go. I run outside the castle now, and the Templars are coming in fast now. What the hell did I do to deserve this? It was that bitchy girl who started it! I keep running and I get away. I land in the village, where I'll be safe for now. I soon awake.

The last couple of nights I have been trying something like "In the next hour, I will reality check." Trying to activate the goal seeking part of my brain. Then visualized preforming reality check. Still only hitting about half of my goals in the prospective memory exercise. Sometimes less. Not sure if this is for me.

Dreams
I am at a convienience store near where this old video store used to be. Someone in the line asks for milk with something, and the guy on cash says he's leaving soon so he doesn't want to go get it. He also says it will be like $1.50 more. He goes to get it, and I talk with the guy about the bad service. A big guy comes back too, and says to me "You're gonna buy that shit?" I am holding already made cold coffee in a jar. "yeah." Now it gets scary. There is a woman in the shop screaming. She is on the wall like a horror film, and she is about to see herself for the first time. Her face is darkened, there's something wrong with it. There's this demonic blackness on it. I see images of her as a child with the darkened face screaming. I see her trying to punch the image of herself in the mirror with the darkened face. I wake up with my eyes a bit watery because I was scared!

--WBTB--
Decided just to go with the mantra "I will lucid dream this morning or very soon", and visualized the girl screaming and realizing that it was dream. Decided to try WILD a bit as well, but after about 25 mins just wanted to fall asleep so I moved. Can only ever get to a point where I start to see flashes, but then get too excited and it goes away.

Dreams
I'm on the bus and there is a really attractive girl on it too, and she periodically bends over. This happens a lot, but her dad and family is right there so I don't want to check her out which is difficult not to do. She gets off the bus, and the next thing I remember is being at school looking for some attractive girls. I see some of my friends' sister's friends up this circular ramp. I am in a parking lot near my house now, with my dad. I am in the car, and I see this girl from my martial arts club, but she looks older and more attractive now. My dad and I are walking home but he is running now, and I ask him what is wrong. He says nothing, but he just feels the need to get home. He starts losing it or something. He says "In case you snap, I can tie you to this." I am creeped out, and get into a fighting pose. I try to throw a few strikes at him but nothing can land. He tells me if I try to fight him he'll hit back like a wrecking ball or something.

I am thinking that I wake up, but then go to my window. It is wooden with portholes, and I open them up. In my tree in the backyard is a basketball net box, and a huge sandbox filled with cranberries! I remember asking myself if I was ever going to wake up. "This is just too weird to be real." I thought.

I first went to bed and had a dream, a nice dream. I was in a large room, kinda dark (dim). It was for an anime convention and I was waiting in line. The people running the convention doing the registration were being jerks saying I can't leave yet. I was with my friend from high school who I am going to an anime convention with on Saturday. She was really shy, but she was showing signs that he liked me and we kissed a few times. (Very vivid and enjoyable) After kissing, I noticed this one guy sneak out of the room through one of the doors while the registration wasn't paying attention. I thought to myself "I can sneak out too, I wanna look around the convention". So while the registration guy, he was fat and wearing a pink shirt had his head down I made my way to the door. When I got to the door there was a line waiting outside and a lady part of the convention/registration said, "alright looks like they are done, you can now go in". I was pretty sure she was referring to the lined up people. I then walked over to where I could get some lunch with my friend and my old Fluid Dynamics teacher was one of the waiters.

The transition from there was blurry, but I think I was having a FA.

I woke up in my room and I wasn't sure I was awake yet, but I was moving sluggish and in a slightly paranoid state. I turned on the light and walked into the living room. The scenery was exactly as my real house is. I turned on the TV but all the channels were tinted red. That's when I realized I was in a dream. I was freaked out because I've had sleep paralysis before and its always horrifying. I went back to my room, maybe ran and I closed the door behind me. I thought about going back into bed to wake up, but I decided to instead stay up against the door so no one could get in. Then I started saying to myself. "wake up wake up, wake up, wake up" and moving my fingers to my eyes to open my eyelids.

I woke up for real this time and it was 2:30am. I called my boyfriend to tell him my dream and went into the living room and turned on the TV. I stayed up till 4:50, letting the dog out, doing some homework, taking a shower and watching TV. I was really tired again and wanted to go back to sleep. I turned my nightlight on and went to sleep on my side, hoping to lucid dream. (I've only done it once before)

I woke up in bed, and I couldn't move. I was in a sleep paralysis again. I struggled and screamed tried to rolling and falling.

I woke up again in bed, on my side where I had fallen asleep, my light was on, my bed sheets were accurate, my room was accurate my laundry basket and everything in place, but again I couldn't move. I decided I wanted to turn on the light, but for some reason again I was moving very slow. I again realized I was in sleep paralysis still, but I slowly reached for the light, breathing steadily to calm my nerves. When my fingers reached the light I flipped it but nothing changed. I flipped it over and over again. I was in a still very paranoid state. I brought my hands back and lay there, and flipped onto my back. I then heard a male voice coming from the left side of my head in a whisper "listen to me". I was freaking out, so I turned onto my side again to the right and saw the shadow of my laundry basket, which is always there. Then the shadow turned into the shadow of a man. I was horrified and screamed "wake up, wake up, wake up".

I woke up for real this time, 5:30 turned on the light and started googling sleep paralysis.

I'm in NY house's family room, just coming out of the bathroom. However, the location is actually GMU even though my family is there. The sun is very bright in the room, it's all naturally lighted. As I leave the bathroom, I look outside to what should be the backyard and I see Felix. I'm completely shocked, my spirit is soaring, the sunlight is my feelings, spreading out. I notice he has a different hairstyle. His hair seems to be parted on one side, which is a really funny look. His eyes are also blue, but it doesn't strike me as odd. He's doing yardwork of some sort, near the grass. I'm on a high. He catches my eye and smiles/waves, I walk a bit closer as I smile and say hey. As I approach him, my visions shifts so that I can see him closely. I see his figure clearly, his whole upper body - mostly shoulders - is ridiculously big. Like, pushing possible human proportions. It seems to get biggest around his broad shoulders and back, and then shrink down immediately. I think, jeez he's huge. Like a giant. I am in awe. A bit of a blur after that. I find out that Felix actually lives right there, at GMU's border, instead of off campus. He's with his parents. Of course it makes no sense, but I just accept it. I have a blurred image of his parents, who seem to be really nice. My parents decide to invite his family over for dinner that day or something. My feelings were the most prominent in this dream; they would soar, soar, higher than they've ever been. My head was dizzy. I was engulfed with a storm of emotions. I was so glad he was there. Transition to a hall-esque place in which his family has come. Actually, I'm waiting their arrival. When they arrive, I remember one thing pretty well - I did something. I don't know what it was. But I tilted my head, and I saw Felix smiling down at me as he entered the dining room in the hall. I remember it was really significant, because what I had done was such a "Rabia" act, that I knew he would smile, charmed. I felt great, as I always do when I reveal something about myself to him. I hovered around a little. I thought, man this is such a great time to talk to him. I can spend the whole time talking to him. As the song goes,

and in the darkened underpass, I thought oh god my chance has come at least. But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn''t ask..

I went outside to check the food out. I was nervous and scared. The food was all spicy, Paki food and I wondered why my parents chose that, as it'd probably be to spicy for his family. I hung out, talking ot a few people. I was slowly becoming lucid. Shit sucked. But..I was still on a high.

I woke up directly as this dream was fading, and I was like: yes, my first real dream about Felix this whole goddamn summer. Must tell Gus.

I was shopping at Pathmark, looking rather bummy as I aways do at grocery stores. I remember very clearly, thinking about what to get and going through the isles. The pathmark looked weird, it was out in the open. No roof or walls. As I paused to look at cereal, two loudly conversing guys went down my isle. I became wary as they paused at the end, not talking anymore and eyeing me. After a while, I glanced up at the taller one who was staring. First thought: wow, he's really good looking. He walked over to me, and started talking, looking very amused. "...Rabia! from 804? Wagner?" First, I was shocked he remembered my name because it had been 5 years and only met a couple of times. Second, I racked my brain to remember him, and my brain instantly gave me a false memory. Very weird. I was like, "Oh my god! It's you! I can't believe you remember. Sorry about my appearance..blahblah." His friend sniggered when I referred to myself as bummy and then promptly walked away. So my guy says, "Yeah, I remember smoking with you and discussing Dali!" I get a sudden sepia image of us blowing smoke and laughing, in the dark. Once again, I am shocked he remembers. We talk during the rest of my shopping trip and we have a growing mutual attraction.

At some point I go off to this outdoors restaurant area, where Mitty is playing cards on one table. I walk to the other end, and I see Father with his friends on a long table, discussing a business deal. I am afraid my dad will see me with this guy. I walk away, and meet up with this guy again. Our feelings are hung in the air, and I walk to say goodbye to him. It's all dark and we're around a foresty edge of an area, lots of people.. Curiously, it kind of resembles GMU woods. I walk down a pathway in the grass, leading to woods. This is where we are supposed to say farewell. I vividly remember a little silence, and then he grips me and kisses me on the forehead, for a rather prolonged period of time. I think it's really sweet, he's holding me as well. He lets go and I look up to him, and he's just smiling, waiting for me to initiate a kiss. I start to head towards his face, when for some reason my dream fast forwards to when the kiss is over. We exchange some kind of contact info, and he's off. I became pretty lucid after the kiss, and I feel liberated enough to do as I please as he's gone (trying not hurt a DC's feelings? What the fah). I fly into the air and swoosh back into the area where family is. I fly around a lot. It's great.

It's the fourth of July again. The fireworks are going off, but it's gray and rainy. I'm a little upset at my parents for some reason. It's nighttime, we are all outside somewhere when I saunter off. Fahim may be there. I walk off to a place right next ot the ocean. The water has leaked through the tiny wall. I lay down, right in the water next to the short, thin wall as the water pours. There is a pleasant homeless man right next to me, wearing a raincoat and tiny hat. He's not old, maybe 30's. I'm laying down and I can't move because I get terrified of the water. I feel like I'm going to be swallowed up by the ocean as I lay there, and actually sense myself slowly sliding towards the colossal gray mass of raging water. I fear trying to get up will permanently slide me into it. I wait for my parents to come. My father comes and rescues me, I try to play it off. I talk to him as if nothing's wrong, he gives the homeless man $20. Then he stares at his wallet, at a hundred note, and says..should I give a hundred or twenty? The homeless man looks at us, amused. I say, "Of course a hundred.." I see the bills in front of me, homeless man is grateful. Finally, I say, "Yeah, give me a hand getting up." It is such relief to get up. I look back to where the thin wall is, and I see most of it before me had already been swallowed by the sea. But I'm still holding my father's hand and it feels safe. :')

1. This dream was more of a fragment. It involved me going through a cave with different monsters that wanted me dead. I jumped down a hole into another part of the cave. I can't remember anything after that.

2. The next dream was pretty much just the film: x-men first class, or what I remember from watching it.

3. The third dream was in a post apocalyptic wasteland. I was the member of a faction which was warring with another faction. I became lucid. I used a sniper rifle on the enemy faction, but once I got bored I tried some kind of teleportation but woke up instead.

4. This dream involved mass effect and school. I for some reason needed to go to school at night, and found a spaceship. I ended up getting involved in the events of the mass effect games. I feel asthough I became lucid in this dream, but I'm not really sure.

This first dream is out of order, but I went ahead and posted it for the Nightstalker Task Club.

Lucid Dream 241: Arise From Your Grave
Series: Task-tacular, Episode 2
DILD



It was night time and I was hanging out on the deck of some random house. There were several other people with me, but I can't remember who they were. We were talking about forming a Resistance Group in order to fight off the military. Apparently, some other country had taken over the eastern United States. During these talks, I suddenly realized I was dreaming.

I jumped off the deck and landed in the yard below. There was a full moon and the trees around the area looked quite sinister in the dark. It reminded me of the Nightstalker Task Club. I decided to resurrect some bodies. I looked around the yard and noticed a large area where the grass had died and there were scattered tombstones. I stood above it and started muttering some made-up incantation. I flexed my fingers and started to feel a force connected with my hand. It felt like my hands were magnetized to the ground. With a bit of extra effort, I slowly raised my arms/hands up into the air. As I did this, the ground began to crumble in front of me and a group of zombie soldiers emerged from the ground. They were wearing very futuristic gear and holding strange looking guns. Their body armor was metal and very robotic. It was sort of like soldier from Halo, only with less armor coverage. They moaned and wandered randomly around the yard I was in. They didn't seem to be interested in me at all. My hands still felt heavy, so I lifted them even higher into the air. A large metal frame began to surface. It was the frame of a Knightmare (a mech unti from the anime Code Geass). It was black and looked awesome. I couldn't wait to get into the knightmare and kick some zombie ass with it. As I was climbing into the unti, my dream began to fade. I thought, "No please, just a bit longer...don't do this now!" I tried to hurry up and get into the knightmare, but I awoke before I got the chance.

Lucid Dream 242: Free Table Show
Series: Sexcapades, Episode 11
DILD



I was at some huge park-like area. There was some sort of mellow music concert going on west of my position. Me, JT, Cliff, and some other random people were sitting on top of a grassy knoll. We were passing a blunt and I was slowly becoming lucid. Finally, I full grasped the fact that I was dreaming.

I looked around and saw a baseball. I picked it up and told JT that I would challenge him to a throwing contest. He threw first and it went about as far as I expected. I then put some extra thrust into mine and launched it. As it soared across the landscape I used my lucidity and dream control to push it further and further along. Finally, it landed after traveling and impossible distance. We threw again and the same thing happened. JT had caught on and said, "Wait a second? We are dreaming aren't we?" I laughed and told him that he was a bit slow today.

We took flight and flew down toward a large blue building. I landed in a seated position on the window seal. A few moments later, JT came crashing into me and I fell backwards through the window and into the building. I fell around 20 feet onto a concrete floor. It didn't hurt in the slightest. I got to my feet and jumped up into the rafters. I started swinging around the rafters, using the beams like a gymnast. After doing this for a bit, I landed back down on the concrete floor. I noticed there was now a group of people sitting at a table in the middle of the room. I recognized many of them. One of them was the asian chick from the tv show, "Glee." Another was a girl I know, "Nii." I walked up to her and began kissing her. We kissed for a bit and then she pulled away from me, smiled and said, "Not here!" I told her we were dreaming and it didn't matter. She didn't believe me at first so I told her to do a nose pinch RC. She did and then started kissing me. I pulled down her shorts and slid "myself" inside of her. I started banging her on the table as everyone else just seemed to watch us. It was a little strange, but I didn't care. After a bit, my friend Cliff walked into the room and started talking to me. We carried-on a conversation as if I wasn't having sex with lots of people watching (can't remember what was said). I began to get really intense with the thrusts and the dream started to fade. I just kept on going and eventually everything went dark. I immediately prepared to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 243: Everybody Dance Now...
Series: Land of Dreams, Episode 12
DEILD



I transitioned back into the dream and found myself on a stage with a closed curtain. There were quite a few people on the stage with me and they turned and told me to get ready because they were about to open the curtain. Everyone was standing still with their eyes looking toward the ground. I moved into a vacant area on the stage and did the same. The curtain opened and I could hear people cheering and clapping. It then got silent and some music turned on. It was a pop song, but I can't remember the lyrics. Everyone started dancing, so I did as well. Apparently, this was some sort of dance competition. Naturally, I made my way up to the front of our group and started dancing in the spotlight. The crowd was going insane as the rest of the group stopped and I was performing a dance solo. I did a crazy variation of the moonwalk and performed some Usher-like dance moves. The music then changed to a rap-like club song. A very attractive chick joined me at the front of the stage and we began dancing in a pretty sexual manner. The crowd loved it and started throwing flowers on the stage.

The music stopped and I noticed someone had beer pong set-up on the stage. I went and challenged two guys to a game of pong. With my superior beer pong skills and a little help from lucidity, I was kicking their ass. The cups kept changing into strange glasses of many random sizes. A couple were no bigger than a shot glass, but I managed to make them anyway. The game never ended because more glasses and cups kept randomly showing up all over the table. The dream was very unstable at this point and I had to stop and stabilize the dream several times to keep it going. Eventually, it completely faded and I woke up.
