    1. World turning upside-down

      by , 01-10-2015 at 09:47 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      I was sitting in my room, and coding something in C++ using my laptop. I went to check something on younger sisters PC, which had worse CPU, but better GPU. Suddenly I realised that it's brand new PC. It was full of random stuff, sisters files and games, although it worked worse than my laptop. I tried to check something on it, but then a weird, stupid cartoon about game developers appeared on my laptop. I closed it, but the sounds were still on. I used my flash memory to get some files, but I realise that I've got powerful virus on it. It was named KermitExt, and it was responsible for explosions of random devices. I also realised that I have a micro chip in my jacket, with the same virus. I went out of my home, and police came. Someone had the same trouble. They took him to the police station. A woman working with them come to me, and I told her what's going on. I went to the building where my friend was working. It was a skyscraper of big, global corporation. I entered it, and looked for my friend, a general programmer. I was searching for him. Whole building was new. Looking for my friend I mistakenly went through the wrong corridor. I entered the dining hall. It was full of antique, wooden furniture. I've came back to entrance, and asked where his office is. I went the right corridor, and went a little too far. I cam back, and entered his office. It was dark, the dim light of PC screen the room gave somehow moody feeling to this room. It was more like a house room, than the office. It was bedroom, kitchen and workplace in one. I saw him. Male, close to his thirties, black hair and grey eyes. He was laying in bed with a woman. Blonde, also close to her thirties, but stunningly beautiful. I showed him my jacket and flash memory. He started to work on some code, and told me that it's done, but after a while screen of his PC exploded. Alarm has turned on. We were running towards emergency exit on the rooftop, to wait of a helicopter. As we runned, the world startedd rolling and turning upside down. It was hard but I made it. When we opened the emergency exit doors, the world has already turned to the side. We've fallen and grabbed railings. We were hanging there. We couldn't see anything in the surroundings, just sky. I tried to climb, but after a while the rail I hold broke, and I've fallen into the other side of building. The woman that was with my friend did the same, and we both fallen into the skyscraper that hasn't turned to its side. I don't know what happened to the rest, asa the world was turning all the time. We ran through office areas. Everything was badly damaged, but we ran outside. There were two bikes, just waiting for us. We drove with them through the road in the middle nowhere. It was dark, cold and cloudy night. We were driving, but suddenly car appeared from the other side. I told her to stop, and turn the lamp in bike off. Someone went out of car, and started shooting. After they shot somebody, they drove away.

      ** I finally went back through my dream journal and actually counted the number of times that I got lucid. 12 over 3 months almost exactly, this one being the only one I actually accomplished something I set out to do. Will backlog only those and another day as this takes too long haha.

      150104 1:00AM Lucid # 12 - Task of the Month

      8:32AM

      Myself and a roommate arrive in a parking lot in a former roommate's car. I immediately begin to question my reality (it feels like a dream).Tell him to do a reality check and do the same. Confirmed.

      "What should we do?" I ask. "I dunno," he replies. Typical. (He is one of my best friends and the closest to my interest level in lucid dreaming. He's been in my dreams before and is never any help at all.)

      "We can do anything, here, check it out." Remembering the task of the month I make a crate appear in front of me next to the car. I open it, remove a firework (8" classic looking rocket), stick it into a nearby patch of grass, and light it. In hindsight I never had a lighter or even considered that I might need a lighter. The daytime sky lights up even more with a massive explosion as I say "BOOM" and make an explosion gesture with my arms.

      Not able to remember any other tasks I turn to him and say, "lets drive to the moon." "Yes!" He replies immediately. At least he isn't working against me. I get into the car, making sure to sit in the drivers seat (my first lucid with any amount of control, #7 when I get around to posting it, he was a getaway driver for me and was absolutely terrible).

      Start the car. The former roommate's (whose car it is) girlfriend is standing in the middle of the parking lot. RC. Still dreaming. I'm excited and want to get to the moon so I just mow her over. My companion is upset about this. I tell him that since it's a dream she is completely fine. I swing the car around to prove it and she is standing right where she was before. I hit another car on the way out of the parking lot and onto the road.

      At this point my companion has changed from my roommate to the former roommate whose car it is. I tell him to upgrade the car. He does nothing (this is basically exactly the same as what happened in lucid #7). I continue driving. We are driving down a hill on the side of a peninsula with an incredible view of my current city across a bay. And I mean incredible. I can see everything.

      "I'm pretty sure that we aren't going to be able to drive to the moon..." I tell my companion as we drive. At this point I remember the task of the month with the crystal ball but decide that it wouldn't be safe for me to attempt that while driving. I tell him to upgrade the car again, and again nothing.

      "Just push a button and say 'Upgrade'." He complies. As he does the car is thrown into the air and we are very airborne over the bay. Mid air the car switches into a helicopter and I begin to fly towards the city. After about 10 seconds, however, the helicopter disappears and we plunge into the water below.

      I try to stay calm and remind myself that this is a dream but eventually succumb to panic and wake up.
    3. Backlog 2 - 150109

      by , 01-10-2015 at 07:51 AM (The Tales of Brother Goose)
      150106 11:00PM

      6:25AM Rather vague

      Side of road waiting to get into Minivan. Monarch butterfly migratory event. Nearby trees are full of colour (I grew up near Point Pelee national park which has a similar event every year). Mom is driving. Car is full, I shotty bucket seat. MP3 player.

      Arrive at waterfront marin/terminal to pick up drugs. Attendant says that the guy who sells isn't in today. Asks us to clean flood/boat for him. "Definitely not". Go check if guy is there. Family (5 people) at cash register instead of dealer. Go back and ask why they don't help him clean. Grab backpack with cousin. Ask about plan.

      Porn scene. Girl is acting strange because she wants to finish. Beach house. Girl leaves and then comes back at night. I exit the room and enter a classroom. Kids are dressed as if for Halloween. Teacher tells me that I shouldn't be there. Say that I should and demonstrate knowledge of class through observation.

      150105 10:45PM

      1:46AM Missed dream sign (confusion)

      Am on a house tour with my mother and grandmother. The house is painted completely white except with very colourful borders and drawings (like children might paint). One drawing is of iPods. Painting incomplete. Owners upstairs. I;m looking for a washroom. Done tour. Given keys and directions and told to get car to pick people up. Leave house.

      Start following directions and arrive at a building and try to go through. Is an old hotel/church that has been converted into a pool party. Get through rooms by walking through holes in the walls. The maids are dancing around in swim suits but are still cleaning. Eventually manage to get out of building. Was given bad directions and have to change where I am going to find car.

      4:25AM

      Dark souls II type dream. I am running around trying not to get killed. I'm not as strong as my roommate so I have to just run through while being followed by lots of bad guys.

      Mr. Noodle/Instant soup discussion. The pros/cons of keeping the steam trapped.

      6:23AM Strangest dream for me in a while...

      We have arrived at Pemberton (a music festival). I am walking around to try and get a feel for the grounds. 1st encounter is with a very drunk girl from Calgary. I can barely understand her. I make fun of newfies with her for a bit then dump her with a mutual friend.

      Need to go to washroom. Toilets are nasty and full of people doing drugs (cocaine, oxy). Go to washroom. Person jumps into the stall just as I finish but before I leave and starts snorting MDMA.

      Go into the hallway. Person throws volleyball at me. Wants me to spin it. Person w/ kid drops sunscreen. Try to catch it.Slide it back to him.

      Run into roommate and tell him what I am up to (getting a feel for the grounds). He confirms that the date is June 31st. He is poiing (which he can do IRL) and is amazing.

      There is a kids concert going on during the day. They are playing EDM but with people singing covers of the vocal tracks. Needless to say it's terrible.

      Go around back towards washrooms. Very dark. See someone as say we should put some lights up her tomorrow for people's safety. Guy jokes about rats. I look around and notice 3 orphaned lambs wandering from bush to bush. I follow them and arrive at a decaying sheep carcass. There are worm/flies/slugs scattered around. Flies begin to touch my head and I begin to feel maggots growing in my scalp. Disgusted. Wake up.

      Fall back asleep into cut scene of myself as an old man arriving at a shore in a canoe and collapsing. Hear tiger sounds. A huge animatronic tiger with robotic spider legs appears from over a ledge (it's legs are taller than me, torso about eye level) that first tries to intimidate then welcomes me. End.

    4. A Beautiful Song and Dance (Jan 8, 2015)

      by , 01-09-2015 at 08:15 PM
      I’m not exactly sure how to describe this dream, but it felt like I appeared in somebody else’s lucid dream in the fully lucid state. I had a similar experience once before (which I need to journal), and it sort of feels like the dream environment is different than how I would normally perceive it. It has very distinct edges and boundaries, seems very solid, and feels like I’m in a large fish tank, because there’s very little background, if any. Usually my dream environment is as large as the universe itself (literally) with no boundaries. Here’s what happened.

      I appeared in the backseat of car with my wife as we were being driven someplace at night. I was facing my wife. I was perfectly lucid, and the clarity and vividness were perfect. I thought to myself this sort of feels like an OBE, but I didn’t do an OBE exit, and this doesn’t feel like an LD, so how did I appear here perfectly lucid (I was confused, but loving it). My wife was young and beautiful, and she looked the same as she did when I first met her 30 years ago. I was really taken back by her beauty. My father in-law was driving; everything in the interior had warm lighting, and I could only see blackness out the windows. Then I saw some hair sticking up above the front passenger seat, so I leaned forward to see who was there. My dear daughter was there! She was half turned, tucked down, with her face pressed against the seat back, and she looked like she was hiding! I said her name with excitement, and then she sat up smiling at us. I reached my left arm around the front seat and gave her a warm hug.

      During the lucid dream, I remembered wanting to hear my daughter sing her new song. As a bit of background regarding this; my dear niece is also a lucid dreamer, and a couple of weeks ago, she said my daughter sang her a song in her lucid dream that she had written in Heaven. I leaned forward in the backseat of the car and asked my daughter to sing the song her cousin (my niece) told me about. Next thing I knew I was remote viewing, or 3rd person, in front of a nicely lit, little, wooden stage, surrounded by blackness, and my daughter was standing there ready to sing in her cute dress. I was totally unable to move around or change the view, and it felt like I was looking out somebody else’s eyes. There was a couple of stage props neatly placed here and there. She started to sing a melody by repeating a phrase like ‘A-Meah-Ah’ over and over, and then she went into the verse, all while she danced and spun around the stage and props. It sounded absolutely beautiful and very modern! She made it to the start of the chorus, and then she stopped singing and said, “Oh crap, I forgot the words.” I then woke up, and I didn’t try to stabilize the dream because it didn’t feel like I was driving. I really enjoyed her song and dance.
    5. The Best Way to be Awakened (Jan 7, 2015)

      by , 01-09-2015 at 02:16 AM
      In this dream I was at somebody’s house (not sure who or where). I was standing in a doorway to the living room, and to my surprise, my dear daughter went racing right by me, and then ran into the kitchen. I immediately became lucid (because my daughter’s in Heaven), and ran after her. When I reached the kitchen she was standing with her back to me, and then she turned around to face me. The clarity was perfect and vivid. She no longer looked like my daughter, but she was beautiful like my daughter, had short brown hair, and the biggest smile. I asked her, “Are you my daughter?”, and she excitedly answered, “You saw me!” Her voice was the same as my daughter’s, and I replied, “Yes, I saw you when you ran past me, now you look like somebody else?” I put my arms around her, hugged her, and then I said, “You look different.” My daughter softly replied, “Yes.” I woke, and then moments later my alarm went off.

    6. DJ#13: 4 long, loopy, vivid dreams

      by , 01-08-2015 at 08:52 PM (BlairBros' Adventures)
      Sleep Time: 8:45-9:00 PM Awake Times: ~2:00 AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM
      REM Period 1:
      Length: Long Awareness: Minimal Vividness: Medium-High
      I was holidaying in America and my family and I were going to see a stage show featuring a Persian man (who was like one of my friends in school IWL ). I was driving a car into the carpark for the theatre and this weird green ute was sorta blocking me. Eventually he pulled over and I was able to pass him and find a park. We all went into the building, walked upstairs and went o find our seats. On the way there however the main performer came out and I had to squeeze past him. His voice and appearance was almost exactly like that friend I mentioned earlier. We found our seats and relaxed to watch the show. I think during the show our tour guide sat down next to us and asked us if we had found squirrel yet. I got a bit frustrated and asked him why we needed squirrels. He said "You need to wear squirrels on your head for at least 4 weeks to make sure there's no lice" and my mum said "You know this, come on". I was still a bit sus but I didn't get any awareness out of it or anything. I vaguely remember going to McDonalds or something like that.
      REM Period 2:
      Length: Medium Awareness: Minimal Vividness: Medium
      The dream started with me at a train station with wet clothes after skydiving of some sort into water earlier (or s my subconscious tells me). I catch the train and my brother is sitting at the other end of the carriage. The train trundles along and eventually ticket inspectors board the train. One comes up to me and I realise that I didn't have my Myki (ticket) on me, it must have fallen out during or after the skydiving. I angrily defended myself trying to explain that "I'd just been skydiving, it must have fallen out" but he explained I could pay a $70 fine now or pay $240 fine later, so I found 70 dollars in my bag and gave it to him. My brother and I then walked back home and I bought a new Myki, this one with a brown colour scheme rather than the normal green one. (Colours in dreams proven lol)

      Length: Long Awareness: Minimal Vividness: High
      Now this was an awesome dream. I was working as a very junior writer in a DreamViews style newspaper, doing little columns once a week, but I wanted to do more to help the community. So, I started secretly taking questions from the public about lucid dreaming and helping them out for my column. This came to the attention of my superiors, but instead of firing me like I feared they might I actually got promoted to the role of (Moderator equivalent). This way I could so what I had been doing as part of my regular job. I continued this way for a while, steadily improving and helping everyone I could, so I got promoted again to (Moderator Leader equivalent) and then finally up to Dream Guide, my goal position. Here I continue to take all the questions people have and try to help them, while also trying as hard as I can to curry favour with the Dream Guide Leader. I just rememebered this is all taking place on the street outside my house, with desks and chairs and little shelves set up, as well as a giant fish tank set up outside the Dream Guides section.
      I eventually feel as if i have done enough to advance position once again and I write an essay sorta thing hoping to convince the leader of my worthiness. He studies it for a long time and then accepts me, giving me some sage advice which I think I have promptly forgotten lol. Over time, after helping people and also judging several other employees whether they were fit to advance, I then work my way up again to Admin/Sub-Admin position. Here I was more so in charge of all the employees, but I still found time to help people. One such middle aged man with a young daughter I helped was almost crying after I helped him, yelling out "Bless you with all the vitamins! A, C, D, F, B12,-" "Don't forget B6!" I added, "Oh yes, and K, and B3, and E, and..." as he slowly walked away.
      REM Period 3:
      Length: Long Awareness: Weird, but sorta Minimal Vividness: High
      This dream started with me and a few other people on a sort of quest, a little bit mario style and little bit prince of persia style(idk), and I was in a desert sorta place. I remember we each had some sort of problem/defect with ourselves as a part of our quest. One of the others, Alex, had this great big brown tusk, about 5 feet long, sprouting from the left side of his mouth. It would apparently disappear over the next 3-4 days, but he was distressed by it. I remember standing at a sort of crossroads in teh desert and watching Alex fight with hsi tusk at a palace/castle in the distance. At this point I think I morphed into Alex's perspective on and off throughout the dream. I remember being at school on the last day and me, Alex, several friends and other random people went into the office after school and were chatting, then saw there was cake. We started eating it before a teacher came out and shooed us all away angrily. At this point Alex was walking home, and my awareness/dream self was following him, and as he got home he complained about how hard his life was with the tusk, and the grief other people caused him about it. A man I couldn't see replied, "If everything in life was easy, nothing would be worth doing". The dream started dissolving here.
    7. Dying in a Dream, On my way to Hell now

      by , 01-08-2015 at 01:56 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      In a group of people, we are all taken prisoner. Our captors try to get me to give out information to help them capture and kill more people, but I refuse. They threaten to kill me if I don't tell them. I think that's a good reason to die. I get pushed down to the ground, and they threaten me again. I close my eyes and go to my happy place. I hear machine gun fire, and feel bullets ripping through my flesh. My shoulders, arms, legs and torso are all hit repeatedly, and I can tell the bullets pass right through me. I'm in shock. I can't open my eyes. I don't want to open my eyes. My visual awareness starts to swirl together and then get all whispy. Although my eyes are closed, even the glittering blackness begins to fade. Then I see horrible faces all around, like dark gray demons scowling and growling at me with menacing faces. I don't feel that I have a body anymore, just a consciousness. I generate my best mind of Love for all the demons, but it's pretty clear that regardless of what I do, I'm going to a very bad place right now. I pray for help, confident that no matter how late, there's always help to be had if I'm open to it and want it. The demons fade into a dark gray for a bit and then come back. This definitely feels like dying. It also feels like I'm going to hell or something like that, but I'm not terrified. I'm a little bummed out because I don't think I'll like it, but I think it's worth it to help everyone. With what seems like my last moment of this stream of consciousness, I sincerely pray for everyone to attain enlightenment. Suddenly it all seems hilarious. I get a few brief visions of Vajrayogini smiling at me. Then I wake up.
    8. DJ#12 Double, no Triple, no Octa Dream Recall!

      by , 01-07-2015 at 08:49 PM (BlairBros' Adventures)
      Wowee! I remembered 8 different dream scenes last night, which is insane for me! I woke up twice throughout the night and had 4 scenes each time.
      -------
      Sleep time: 9:00 PM Awake times: 2:00 AM, 4:30-5:00AM
      REM Period 1:
      -I was playing a game with a German woman and two other people called 'Extreme Parkour" or something similar, where we were jumping around a Mayan ruin bouncing between the walls and breaking off some things,generally having whale of a time.
      -I was at Disneyland riding around one of those little trams that they have there, and there was a man there who got off and played this shooting game, where he shot small bullets into a leather saddle like thing. Afterwards he complained saying "how big are these bullets?" which the woman replied "7mm" and he went crazy, yelling "WHAT! Those aren't bullets, these are bullets!" and pulled out giant bullets the size of his hands. (My own Crocodile Dundee moment ). After that the tram sorta morphed into a bus a bit and there were some rather racist acts going on against african americans, can't quite remember how that turned out.
      -I was in a persons house and they had 3 children, their natural son, and adopted Chinese boy and a boy who appeared to have a mental condition/disability. Very little detail in this one.
      -I was at my Dad's house and when I walked out of my room I could hear (I think my little brother) playing a song from Agalloch's The Mantle (Great ablum by the way ) on the keyboard. I was amazaed and asked my Dad what was going on. He said he'd found the cd on a bench and taught my brother to play it. I asked my dad whether he liked it or not but before he could answer the dream dissolved.

      REM Period 2:
      -I was in a post apocalyptic sort of Hollywood, where Soviet Russia were trying to invade. There were tanks and debris everywhere and me and several other people were playing some sort of wargame there. I remember the landscape was really vivid and well constructed, it looked a little bit like a desert from Mars crossed with a abandoned city.
      -I was having a swimming race with 2 members of the Yogscast (I don't even) in a crazy long aircraft hanger style place decorated like the bottom of the ocean and I ended up beating them.
      -I was having a weird sort of Chinese exam were the room was split into different sections for the different parts and there were random substitute teachers coming in to take it. I was rather stressed as I thought I wasn't ready and I couldn't bring my dictionary and didn't know how it worked and yada yada. I can't remember too well how it went too well, but I think I did alright hehe.
      -I was playing a sort of extreme minigolf with about 20 other people at least and it was fairly competitive, with the rules being super tight. The competition had to go on until tomorrow but I didn't get the message and continued playing a little bit anyway. Some people realised and I had to try and set all my stuff back up so it was like it was before, which was a bit hectic.
      -------
      Theres my record number of dreams recalled, hopefully this is a good sign of things to come. Unfortunately no lucids but tomorrow's the day!
    9. My first try on Task of the month

      by , 01-06-2015 at 11:08 PM
      I'm holding a bottle of fine wine right hand.
      Amarone. And. A firework rocket in my left hand. On my other right arm I'm holding a pen. And on my other left a notebook. Franticly logging everything that happens in English (not my first language) . (I aperntly have 4 arms.)I try reading what I'm writing. But the dream starts braking apart so I stop. I look around and see that I'm in a cave the liting is pretty good though. I need to get out if I want to fire the rocket.
      I started trying to chugg the bottle of wine. Nothing is coming out. I throw it away. My fokus goes to another bottle. I pick it up and tell my self that it will taste great. I chugg half the bottle first it tastes of fresh sweet orange.
      Second chugg fill my mouth with a overwhelming blueberry flavor. The logging me watches the me that just drank. (I don't have 4 arms any more now I'm in two places). The me that drank it swelling and turning purple I fall over like a ball and start vomiting like a fountain, slowly deflating. Lucky I'm experienceing the world through the logging mees eyes. I wake up in the vomit felling pretty okay a lite dissy. I look to see the logging me. But there is no one there. I need to fire the rocket. I'm tired and dissy I don't have the energy to walk any longer. The cave seems endless. I look upp att the rock seeling.
      I concentrate and see the seeling desolve and the night sky appearing. I put the rocket in the ground. I looks like an artichoke on a stick quite butifull. It takes of in the sky turning into to a fish swimming its way up in the sky. It's growing and glistening I blue starlight. It turns around swims down and swallows me hole. I'm in a fish mouth. I can see a cristalball att the throat of the fish on a kind of meet pedestal. I walk towards it but before I can tuch it I gett hit by a laser. It throws me backwards but I'm unhurt. I'm on my as, the ball is a couple of meters away. I use telekinesis to pull the ball in my hand. I stroke it and ask. What's going to happen 2015 (in Swedish). I can't explain what I see. Mostly pycodellic colors like mandalas. I could see the earth and my son. I cold feel shaking. I can't remember what happened next.
    10. 2015-01-04 lots of dreams, vivid

      by , 01-06-2015 at 10:50 PM
      Marathon night of sleep and dreaming.

      + noodle cook: he's witching to language studies, I wonder how practical that will be

      + neighbor's garage sale/giveaway: did the crowd also take all our stuff by mistake?; ornamental grape trees in the front garden

      I'm exiting my garage and I see that on my neighbor's front lawn there is a lot of junk there. Everything's free, there are a lot of cars pulling up. I notice later that the things in front of my house are also gone, but I was not participating in the giveaway. Nothing's left, I see just a small folder on the grass, I wonder if the people came and took all my stuff, too.

      Walking through a front garden, I'm looking at the trees, they are "ornamental grape trees," I look at them and some are thick-trunked with clusters of grapes growing out of the bark in places, not very many. A gardener is there and he's talking about the trees.

      + casino: they picked my pocket at the game table(!), casino security department, gun battle on escalator, I demand my stuff back

      I'm at a casino table, it's an exciting game, there's a lot of action, there are two people there sort of playing along with me.

      I walk away from the table and check my waist bag, and something's wrong. I open the wallet area zipper, the passport zipper, and check for my phone, they're *all gone*. I check several times. I "remember" that at some point those two people playing the game with me at the table bumped into me, they must have picked my pocket! I'm screwed losing these critical things.

      I talk to a security guy, the subject of calling the cops comes up. He escorts me back to the security area. It's a huge open "behind the scenes" area with a lot of "agents" walking around, there are screens in there in various cubicles. I wonder if the criminals know just how many undercover security guys there are, they're everywhere in this area, walking around.

      I'm in a gun battle with a guy on a group of side-by-side escalators, ducking down to avoid the fire, I'm in the upper area.

      I get my hands on the guy (the criminal or the cop) who I think has my wallet and passport, and I'm screaming at him to give me my stuff back.

      + racquetball gym: they wasted all that front lobby space, could have made a few more courts

      WBTB

      + swimming in "Tahoe", find swiss army knife, hold the girl up for a better view of the swim tubes; confused about RSVP for JT's gourmet steak party which we can't attend, wife like's my corn chowder

      I'm at "Lake Tahoe" going swimming. I'm standing on the shore looking down at the rocks/pebbles, and I see (my?) swiss army knife there, I pick it up because I wanted it recently and it's not in my bag any more. I'm getting ready to dive into the water, I invite someone to come with me, they come up and push me and I dive into the water. Oh, my, there's a submerged boulder there I barely avoid wacking my head into it and manage to jump over it. Underwater I'm looking for crayfish expecting to see some under the boulders but don't see anything.

      I'm swimming around to the right parallel to the beach and I see a serious of water park tubes with swimming-pool water in them snaking through the lake. I pick up a girl in a one-piece swimsuit and lift her up high so she can look into the tube. My arms are wrapped around her body at the waist level and she looks down at me briefly with an exasperated expression on her face like she thinks this is inappropriate contact but doesn't complain more. It feels nice to hold her like this.

      Back up above the beach I'm looking at the scene and think that yes this sort of looks like "it used to," but not exactly.

      Sitting on a terrace with my wife, JoTy, his wife DaTy. Wife D looks short and round and not at all like herself, J looks sort of like himself. The conversation is about RSVPing for their fancy gourmet steak barbecue party. I'm firmly denying that I could not have RSVPd for it because I don't live there any more and since I don't I couldn't and wouldn't have RSVPd, which would have caused them to have to buy too much steak. I was confused and wasn't sure if I had RSVPd or not. I'm sad that I won't be able to attend. My wife consoles me by saying she likes my corn chowder, who needs fancy steak.

      + GS's Texas million-dollar house pool party, his wife rejects my hug, the heat is dry at least

      I'm arriving at GS's Texas house, it's at the end of a street, the grass out front is colorful, there are adobe walls, it's my first time here! I see G's wife D, and reach to give her a hug, but she holds up her right arm in front of her sideways across her body as a barrier to deny my hug, she has a "don't do that" face. I'm hurt and surprised by this. I then notice that she's pretty flat-chested, that's a change, she used to have an enormous bust, maybe she got reduction surgery? She turns around and I get a view of her butt in her once-piece swimsuit (which is sort of shiny bronze colored), it's a pretty tight sexy-looking butt I realize. I reach for G to give him a hug.

      I'm walking around the pool area clockwise. I notice some lounge chairs in very small areas of shade on dry grass, there's not much shade here. About half-way around the pool I comment on the heat: I feel the warmth, it's not humid. I say/think that "here in Austin there's a dry heat".

      I completed the circle around the pool, and I see a large pile of pool lounges stacked on top of each other. Someone asks what they're for, I answer (it's a massage table?). I see that some of the lounges are slipping down into the pool so you can lie on them while floating in the pool.

      + some plot with some young kids, one says "I like <my name>" as I walk by; in the hotel room, the (mother-in-law?) is looking sexy in her suit and wants to go to the sauna

      The mother in law is wearing a one-piece swimsuit. There is a sliver of aereola showing on her left breast, her chest looks quite nice. She thinks that as long as we're at a resort she should go to the sauna

      + fighting the evil dead flag monster, put on his shirt

      There's a flag hanging down above a doorway. I swing a sword at it. Once, twice. After each swing there is a loud scream and I look over to the computer to see the status of the evil (undead?) monster which I am fighting by hitting its flag. I take a third swing but I think this is unnecessary, I've already beat it. The shirt of the monster will float down now and I can put it on. I wonder if I look in a mirror wearing this shirt if I'll look like a skeleton?

    11. Mega Vivid, Complex, Long Lucid Dream – Dec 25, 2014

      by , 01-06-2015 at 10:17 PM
      I don’t get these too often, and I feel really blessed when it happens. I had this dream at my father in-laws house that was built by my wife’s grandfather. This home has a lot of family history, and I have had some of my best memorable lucid dreams and OBE’s there.

      The dream started off in a public washroom. Just wait, it gets better. My dear friend Dave, and co-worker, who had passed away into Heaven a few years ago, was in the washroom with me, standing in front of the sink and mirrors. I’ve wanted to meet up with him in a lucid dream for quite some time now, and when I saw him, I instantly became lucid. I said, “Dave, How are you?” He looked freaked out by seeing my awareness, and then he ran out of the bathroom, passing right through the wall! I called for him to come back because I wanted to visit with him. He didn’t come back. My dream started to fade, so I closed my eyes and raised my right arm and shot up into outer space at light speed, and then opened my eyes. Stars were everywhere, and it was so beautiful, and I was travelling fast, I mean I was really travelling fast!

      I was flying at extreme speed in a void between space and something that looked like and endless grid of red discs, with flames and sparks everywhere (very cool)! The grid pattern extended as far as I could see in all directions. Suddenly, I came upon a planet at extreme speed and I entered the atmosphere. Clouds of smoke, flames, and light radiated off me like an asteroid burning up in the sky. I gradually slowed down and landed nicely at a large, concrete sloped ramp leading up into a large, modern looking building. People were running from me in all directions screaming. My body was glowing bright white from the heat of entry, and everything was brightly lit. I yelled out, “Its okay, I won’t hurt you!” One woman stopped, and then she turned around to face me, and smiled. Some other people also stopped, and were turning to face me, but then my vision started to fade again, so I closed my eyes, raised my right arm and shot off into space at high speed once again.

      When I opened my eyes, there were stars everywhere, and then out of nowhere comes this planet! I flew right into it, dead on, there was going to be no atmospheric burnup or slowdown happening this time. Upon impact I lost my vision, so I started to swirl to bring back clarity. I could feel my bare feet in the sand. As I swirled I held out my hand and asked for help. I heard a man say, “I’ll help you.” I recognized that voice! It was the Lizard King from my lucid dream journal entry, ‘Frank the Lizard King’. He has the most distinct voice. He grabbed my hand as he swirled with me. I asked him his name, because I couldn’t remember it, and he said “Donley.” That’s a last name, so thinking about it now; this dream figure’s full name must be Frank Donley. We stopped swirling, and he was still holding my hand. He was a young boy with black hair and dark eyes(not a lizard this time), but he had a man’s voice. He said, “You crashed into a beach full of people.” I looked around and I was standing in a sand crater about 15 feet deep by about 50 feet across. There were dream figures giving me really bad looks as they were trying to crawl up the sides and out of the crater I had made. Frank then said, “I’ve never seen anything like this, sand flew way up in the air.” I said really, “How high?” He said 2 Km’s. I was shocked at what he said, so he repeated, “The sand flew 2 km’s up into the sky!” I think he was exaggerating. My vision started to fade at this point, so I started to swirl again to bring back clarity.

      I swirled and swirled, and all was black, plus I was somewhere different, because I could feel that the ground was now solid. I continued to swirl in an effort to bring my vision back, but it wasn’t happening. I decided to ask for assistance, so I held out my hand as I swirled and said, “Somebody please help me.” I repeated this over and over, and then finally a man answered, “I’ll help you.” He grabbed my hand and swirled with me until my vision came back. I thanked him for helping me. We were standing in a concrete parking lot, and he let go of my hand and put his arm around my waist to hold me up, as I staggered around trying to get my bearings straight. I asked him his name, and he said, “John.” He was wearing a uniform, and had a gold name badge on his chest. He was one of the Lucid Dream officials that usually give me crap for misbehaving in my LD’s by asking for people’s names, locations, or phone #’s. I’ve never had one of these guys help me out before, so I was grateful. I was hoping to have some conversation with him, but he turned and walked away. He walked right through a concrete wall, and seemed to slightly slowdown as he passed through it. I found this odd because there was door a couple of feet to the left which he could have used. I ran through the door, and looked to the right down the hallway, and saw him just before he was about to go around a corner, and I loudly praised, “Thanks John for helping me!” He looked shocked that I had followed him and he replied, “Sure thing, see you again soon!” (Well, that was nice!)

      Next, I went back into the concrete parking lot area, and headed down a walkway. As I walked, I bounced along slowly rotating, and singing, to keep my clarity brilliant. This worked really well! I came to an open stairwell that led to an upper area that looked like a shopping mall. There was an older lady in front of me as we walked up the stairs, plus three teenage girls in front of her. The three girls stopped half way up the stairs, just past a landing, and one of the girls began to wiggle her butt around as she listened to music on her iPhone headset. I thought great, I’m not moving, and I’m going to start to have fading vision. Maybe I should fly up past these three girls and continue on with my journey, but I didn’t want to ‘give up’ my lucidity by flying over them, because that just attracts attention. My vision started to fade again, darn it, so I started to swirl.

      I swirled and swirled, and again I asked for help. I heard a girl talking, and she sounded like my daughter! I asked who’s there, and she replied with her name, it was my daughter! This is why I enjoy lucid dreaming so much! When somebody close to you, who you love, has passed, be thankful you’re a lucid dreamer, because you can still visit. I then asked her not to leave, and to wait for me. After about 10 seconds of swirling my vision came back, and there was my daughter with her two friends, standing right in front of me. We were now at the upper level of the parking lot. Guess what, it was my daughter on the stairs earlier, with her two friends, who were blocking me from going up to the mall area. I ran right up to her, put my right forearm under her butt, and my other arm around her back, picked her up, and gave her a huge ‘bear hug’. I told her I loved her, and we slowly spun in a circle hugging, until I woke up.

    12. Part 4: Advice Received on Healing of my Son’s Plantar Wart – Dec 28, 2014

      by , 01-05-2015 at 07:54 PM
      In this dream, I was given some advice on healing from my daughter. I walked into my bathroom, off my bedroom, and a beautiful young woman was standing there with a hoodie on, and I didn’t recognize her, but as soon as she spoke I knew it was my daughter. We moved in behind the bathroom door out of site. She had the exact same voice and facial expressions. In spite of all this I wasn’t lucid yet, but I should have clued in since my daughter has passed into Heaven. She then thanked me for trying to be with her all the time, and constantly reaching out for her. We kissed and hugged. It was so real!!! I still wasn’t lucid (if you can believe it).

      She then said, “Dad, there are phrases in the Bible on light, energy, and healing you should read.” Then I became lucid, because I remembered my plan to heal my son’s wart in a lucid dream. I then said, “What did you say?” I was sort of shocked by hearing this, since I’ve never read the Bible to any extent, nor has my daughter. She then repeated it in a more clear voice, “Dad, there are phrases in the Bible on light, energy, and healing you should read. Read the Bible!” Several people, including my wife, walked into the bedroom, and then my daughter and I walked out of the bathroom, to see who was there. As she walked out of the bathroom, she changed into somebody completely different. Now she looked like a belly dancer, and done up in a gold dress, tasseled, and bikini top. My wife gave me a shocked look, hit me on the butt with her hand, and looked at me like, “What were you doing in there?” The other people in my bedroom were men, who I didn’t recognize, and my lucidity ended and I returned to regular dream mode. I then asked the belly dancer in the gold dress for her cell phone #. My wife hit me in my butt again, and then I woke.

      The following day I Google searched the Bible on healing, and found several of references to this. It basically said if you believe in God, and have faith, then you can ask God to heal people by placing your hands on the sick and they will recover. This does clear up a few things for me, and in particular, that it’s not me who’s doing the healing, it’s God. I’m not a strongly religious person, but I’m going to listen to my daughter because she’s always right. Anyway, so now I’m going to change my strategy on healing this wart in a lucid dream. Instead of saying “Through love and consciousness heal my son’s wart. “ Rather, I’m going to say, “Dear God, please heal my son’s wart.” I’m also planning on creating an energy ball in the LD, and then pushing it into my son’s wart with my hand, and holding it there until it dissipates (healing lucid dream style!).
    13. I'm not sure what my dream is trying to tell me about my life

      by , 01-05-2015 at 09:16 AM
      Hi all, first time using this forum... I have been doing some dream interpretation of my own for awhile. I had this 2 dreams which happened over 2 nights and I am stumped on how to interpret them. As they seemed linked so I just post both of them and see how it goes. Would love to see someone help me on this. Thanks in advance!

      Dream 1:

      I was holding my black sling-bag for skates and walked out from a room (I am a skater in real life, having skated since my polytechnic days. And, I do have that bag and skates). I then met a friend. Let's call him Dan. He was my friend from Secondary school and he was asking about a girl, X, and why are we not talking as much. (In real life I do have feelings for this girl, X, and she currently is my course-mate in my University. If you need to know more about this, basically it's in my opinion, one-sided. There was a rumor going on about me being interested in her for awhile, so I can assume she knows my feelings for her, but I didn't tell her outright. We're just course-mates/acquaintances for now. And, no, they have not met in real life) In response to his questions, I simply shooked my head and smiled before walking off.

      It took me awhile to notice, but I realized that the location of the dream seems like my secondary school but there are a few differences. For one, the canteen layout is very different compared to real-life. Here, there is a separation of halal on the left and non-halal food on the right. However, true to real life, the canteen is on the left side of the parade square. On the parade square, there was some sort of rehearsal going on. I have no idea what is it about. I saw mostly yellow as I passed the crowd to go to the canteen. I also remembered that it was night time and in the dream I had a feeling that the girl, X, is in the crowd, but I chose not to find out where she really is. I left the canteen after taking a walk around the stores and left the canteen.

      I then walked along a path which leads towards the stairs to my Co-curricular Activity room. I was thinking of heading to the room as quickly as possible for my Robotics Club activities (likewise in real-life when I was in secondary school). I kept walking down the path and remembered it being a dark lane. Funnily enough I think I could see where I was going. I then saw a few people (unknown) with props and one of it was broken. I think was made out of Styrofoam and hand-painted. I did not take much notice to it and I found the stairs and climbed it. At the top, I found another 2 of my friends, called S, and T. (Both are friends whom I have met in my skating days in the Polytechnic who I respect very much. S is 1 year older than me, while T is 2 years younger than me.)

      They called out to me and greeted me. Not sure if it was coincidence, but they then started to talk about X. I could not remember what did they say/asked me, but it seems both were in consensus, like they have discussed it for awhile before talking/asking me whatever they were saying. I even forgotten what I replied them actually. (This was a critical info that I failed to recall when I woke up to log into my dream log.) Eventually it started raining and water started splashing back on us until they were drenched. But, they continued sitting there and talk about that topic. This is where I woke up, ending the first dream..


      Dream 2:
      This dream was weirder as I actually woke up once or twice in the midst of the dream and went back to the dream.

      I cannot remember the sequence of events totally, but I remember I was at the swimming pool with a few friends. V, who was my childhood friend whom I have not met in years since primary school and some of the guy friends in the girl, X's clique. I could not remember what was the conversation topic, but I'm pretty sure it was directed to me and my friend, V, suddenly mentioned X's name and the other guys' expressions were like "wow". I tried to motion him to keep quiet but when he blurted out, my mind went, "the damage was done. They knew." (In real life I am trying to keep things as low profile as possible. My guess is that a lot more people know about my interest in X.) (V and the other guys never met in real life!)

      At this point, I was called to wake up in real life as it was almost 3pm. I sort of knew the time was roughly right as I did check the clock prior to the dream happened at around past 10.30am. However, when I checked the time on my phone, it was 9:06am. So, I went back to sleep.

      Somewhere in between the timeline of the dream here onward, I woke up again, hoping to see a text message from X, there wasn't. Back in the dream, I took it to be no hope of getting closer to her.

      The next thing I knew was that I was in a hotel or some large school with a very complicated building layout. It is difficult to get around. (Truth in real life is that my school is now in a holding campus and will have its own school campus soon later this year.)

      I found myself heading out to participate in some exhibition or seminar* co-hosted by X. Many of the uni course-mates were there and I could identify a few of them at where I stood. The location of the exhibition was some sort of hall, with carpeted floor, two large posters were set-up for the event. There seemed to be a buffet spread and there were many people in the front of the hall. I didn't know what was served. I stayed away from attention and stood near to the entrance of the hall. But, somehow in the dream, I did ate something light.

      When the event started, the first thing I noticed from the crowd was X. She had done up her hair into a bundle and wearing a silver dress, greeting people. I was smiling and when I realized she took notice of me, I slipped out and walked out of the hall. I then realized I was wearing formal wear for the event.

      * When I was penning this down, I realized the event was not an exhibition or seminar as what I thought in the dream. It was a wedding.

      I was back at the Hotel/school, I was thinking on how to be more efficient in my workflow and I decided to visit the canteen in the school. There was no one actually wanting to go there as some sort of flashback in the dream. I could remember the food being served there; curry chicken, assorted vegetable dishes and there was a fruit stall at the centre of the canteen.

      I did not buy anything again and I walked out and up. I then came across a room, which I entered and asked for directions to another location to study a module. The room was beige generally and when I sat down, I noticed a stack of paper in the centre of the table. There was a lady who assisted me in my queries and directed me to the place with a schematic drawing of a map. I did not notice her features though. However, what spooked me was that before I left the room, she mentioned something along the line, "you all will move in here soon. By then you'll know".

      After I exited the room, the dream ended.


      Sorry for the long post. I do hope someone can help me in giving me insight of what the dream means if there are any meaning to it. If not, just leaving it here as a read!

    14. First lucid in 2 weeks.

      by , 01-05-2015 at 09:13 AM
      (I went to sleep in a car on the way out of state.)
      I dreamt woke up in my bed at night, the room was exceedingly bright even though in my heart I knew it was night time. I did the hand RC and my fingers were growing in weird angles.

      ************************************************** ****Que: Lucidity****************************************** **********************
      I took a moment to observe how I think while dreaming and found it shockingly similar to waking life, I had lucids before but none had ever come to this level of clarity. I live in the basement so it came as a shock when I opened my door and came out on the front lawn. I walked through a town that looked nothing like mine and explored the world around me(especially touching the concrete walls and looking at how much detail they had). I walked to my high school and found out that it is in the same relative location as waking life which was weird since i did not recognize anything else. Standing at the corner to drive into the student parking lot was my dream guide Morpheus(Aren't I lucky?). He ushered me into the school and said that he could not follow. I explored the school and to my surprise I had my school laptop by my side without ever remembering to bring it. Then a tall fat kid came and tried to bully me by stealing it. I felt the emotional response of rage even knowing that this was a dream, and so I grabbed him, and ate his soul dementor style(sans kiss thankfully there was SOME distance). I explored some more and found an abandoned janitors closet, at this point shit went down and all the lights in the school dimmed to a dark red and blood painted the walls. Instantly I thought of the demo to silent hill P.T and my subconscious (bless/curse its soul) decided to go with my expectations and made a baby cry in the closet(I could only see through a crack in the doorway. I then heard my dreamguide's voice saying "I know the only me is me, are you sure the only you is you?" I thought wryly to myself My subconscious and I are the same and different, and the only you is NOT you since you are a part of me. I turned around to fast to walk in the other direction and found myself in an accidental scene change. Now my friend Jacob sat in a dark office with me but he was different. He had sharklike teeth and pure black eyes. I rolled mine and said "Now what the fuck are YOU supposed to represent." "I am everything you hate about yourself." he replied darkly. That confused me as there was nothing similar between me and my friend from school but I had just got off the phone with him when I dozed off so maybe that was it. I was like "Hah no I don't have the time to deal with nightmares, you do realize this is MY dream right? I can obliterate you with just a thought." He grinned challengingly at me and I found my powers not working. I laughed at the audacity of my subconscious and overpowered it through aggressive control if passive would not do it. I went into tiger stance like Udyr from league of legends laid the smack down hard. After I was finished pummeling him I went out of the school and walked on the road out of town, thinking about philosophical questions, deep meanings, and the nature of my reality that was around me. Eventually I woke up and opened my laptop to write this down.
    15. First Extended Lucid Dream Experience

      by , 01-05-2015 at 05:29 AM
      I was in a normal dream at my grandparents house I was walking down stairs then all of a sudden I realised I was in a dream, I sat down on the stairs looked around it was all fairly good visually. I then looked at my arm do do a reality check and my whole arm was missing so I was sure I was dreaming. I got up looked to my right and decided I was going to fire electricity out of my hands. Blue beams of lights started flowing out of my hands. I turned around and went into the next room, here I first tried to spawn a motorbike to ride of the balcony but this didn't work. So just to spawn something in I looked down at the bed and expected a sword to be there. I picked up the sword and was swinging it around for a while.

      The sword was flashing however it was like it was a hologram flashing in and out. After this I placed it back down and decided to preform another reality check and my finger went through my hand, then continuing on from this I decided to feel the textures of the room and my self. I placed my finger on top of my tongue and I could feel it was a bit wet and also noticed the view of my nose cross eyed of my face. I then proceeded out to the balcony where I was thinking of doing some high jump parkour from house to house, I jumped up onto the edge of the building a looked down and saw one of my friends, this is where everything messed up because I remember going to talk to him and lost my sense of reality. But I still remember part of this dream I went to talk to him normally but instead this time instead of thinking I was in a lucid dream I remember I had a lucid dream and I told him about it in my dream.
