    1. First LD in years. Snow and Flying!

      by , 01-28-2014 at 06:09 PM
      *Preface*
      I have been practicing KingYoshi's ADA for the better part of a month and writing in my DJ daily. I remember 4-8 dreams per night with moderate to great detail. A month ago I maybe remembered 1 dream per night with minimal detail.
      */Preface*

      I was driving down a highway heading home. There were several other cars on the road. It was night time. I got stuck behind a slow red truck. I remember how bright it looked with my headlights shining on it. I then got sick of driving behind it and moved over a lane and passed it.

      I am driving for what seems like a while not really thinking about it or where I was. I suddenly question where I was because it seemed that I was way passed Portland heading east. The road was very dark and narrow. It was two lanes. A consistent line of trees was overhead, they curved over the road completely. My headlights shined brightly on them revealing a brilliant green.

      I decided to stop the car and look around to figure out where I was. The ground was now covered in snow. I went over to the passenger side of the road and looked over. The edge of the road dropped off about 50ft straight down. There was a nice long house below with an enormous truck parked in front of the house. It was a white truck; a dually. Everything was completely covered in snow. The moon was high above illuminating the house. The moonlight also made visible a very large lake behind the house. The water was very reflective of the moonlight.

      I then decided that I needed to head back home so I started walking back the other direction in the snow completely leaving the car behind. All of a sudden there was a turn off the road to my left that lead into this dark neighborhood.

      I then realized that I was naked and walking through snow, except that I did not feel the cold at all which granted me instant lucidity. I did not need to perform a reality check. I immediately jumped up into the air and closed my eyes, willing myself to keep ascending. As soon as I realized that I was working I shouted, “Yes!”, and was very excited. I got extremely high very quickly; several thousand feet up. I could sort of see the clouds below.

      I was flying in all directions and could very vividly feel my body and how the g-forces felt against it, turning my stomach. I felt the air against it but again it wasn't cold. I had a fleeting desire to go see Emma Watson for some reason, but I realized that I couldn't actually see anything and hadn't been ever since I closed my eyes.

      I tried to stabilize the dream by looking at my hands. I moved my hands in front of my face. It felt difficult; it felt like I was moving my IWL hands. My hands and wrists looked very ghostly, like half there; a really strange effect. They were slightly distorted and wavy. I couldn't get them clear and they felt really tingly. It felt like I was really close to waking because I thought I was really moving my arms. I felt the dream slipping away and I woke up.

    2. 1/26/14 Met 2 guys never seen before

      by , 01-27-2014 at 11:12 PM
      Bryan left me. I was walking through a mall and met a man in uniform. Never seen this guy in my life! He was tall, 6" maybe. He wasn't very good looking.

      I met another guy, (not sure where i met him in my dream) he was cute, he wasn't built body-wise like i like, he was quiet and made me very interested to know more about him. I told him to meet me at my grandmothers house, he did.
      I was in the middle of something there and was very nervous so i answered the door and told him to come back in about 30 minutes. He came back, I was still nervous so i told him to come later again! He came back and i did the same thing again and told him to come back. He came back again!!
      I told one of my family members that i couldn't keep telling him to come back so I left her house and i went with him but i don't remember where we went or what we did.
      I do remember falling in LOVE with this guy! I can tell you exactly what he looked like and how tall he was. It was like he was my soulmate! We couldn't leave each other alone.
      He even came up to my work. Not sure what else happened in the dream.

    3. 1/27/2014 // dream writing a novel, get sucked into novel as it is being written in real time

      by , 01-27-2014 at 10:56 PM
      SO I am writing the first sentence in a novel, I keep editing the sentence to get it perfect, and finally it just 'clicks'. And as soon as the sentence clicks I get sucked into the story I am writing, I start watching my novel unfold like a movie, it was amazing. I guess I will attempt to write the sentence I wrote in my dream . . .

      The light diffuses in a golden glow from the tip of my nose as I snake my way on my stomach through this tunnel while trying to hold on tight to my candle, my only source of light.

      After writing that sentence and editing it over and over until it was perfect, I suddenly got sucked into that world, but also I could still feel an author in my subconscious writing it as I experienced it.

      My dog is ahead in the tunnel scouting for me.

      I really can't remember the words anymore from the novel, but I remember what happened. We were invading a fortress of imps and the route we choose was a very low narrow passage that could only be traversed via stomach crawling. When I get inside the fort, we battle imps and there are some other mages battling, and after the fight we all head back to our place (another fortress or wizard tower) and talk about what happened in a debriefing in one of the towers rooms. Then one of the mages cast a spells and two of them fall into a void of darkness, a portal in the ground, and a few moments later pop back out one after another. Then later one of the female mages is asking me where I am sleeping, and I get the feeling she wants to join me because I am alone and the other two mages seem to be with each other. Then I wake.

      Very realistic dream and the whole time the dream was playing out I could still feel in the background of my mind the words being written by the author of this novel. Amazing indeed.

      Also I remember them mentioning something about being pulled into the 4th or 5th dimension, briefly I think right when the dream started.

    4. Spa dream 1/24/14 johnny, doug, mrs. Duncan etc

      by , 01-25-2014 at 08:12 PM
      Dream 1/24/14 Spa, Johnny, Doug, Kathy's Mom etc



      I dreamed that my boss/wife from the bar I used to work at moved into Dad's old house with me. I went out of town for a week and came back and they had turned the house and whole property into a spa. Huge, at least 2 stories, elevators, restaurants, the whole bit.

      While I was gone they changed my bartending schedule also and I had to go in at 1 pm instead of 5 pm.

      I set off in my own house to find out why and also to find out where to take a shower and get ready for work.

      On the way to look for the showers, I ran into Mrs Virgie Duncan... my friend that passed near Christmas... her Mom. In life, she had suffered a long time...diabetes, bad knees, she really could not walk the last few years of her life. Super sweet lady too. In my dream, she walked well, had lost weight, dressed up with nice jewelry. She was with someone else I knew in the dream, but forgot when I woke. She and friend were going to the spa and shopping. She hugged me and told me everything was just fine. So, Kathy let me know she is OK in heaven and feels better.

      First, when I found the showers, it was like gym showers, lots of people and not as private as I would like, and I did not have my robe... then I did not have shampoo etc. Then I thought, Hey, a spa has to have shampoo/conditioner. I asked... it was $19 each for a single use.

      I don't know if I ever got that shower. I decided to find something to eat. I got in an elevator. Three people got on with me. Two "ritzy" girls together for lack of a better word, and a black girl, just as pretty and dressed more to my taste. The white girls saw my staff badge and started introducing themselves, blah blah and ignored the other girl. I talked to them, then turned to the other girl and asked her name and invited her to lunch.

      On the way to lunch I ran into the "bosses" brother in law. I asked him "Why did Johnny change my schedule?" etc. This is significant because he and his wife Janis worked with me at that bar and she now has early onset Alzheimer's...she is a few years younger than I am.

      We got to the restaurant and my old boyfriend/old friend that passed in April...his niece was the waitress. We sat at one of those big round community tables where others can join you if there is not room elsewhere. A man and his wife joined us and a bit later his wife left, my new friend left, the man started kissing me... and I woke up. Two part dream, living color, and so much detail....
    5. Rust and an AMAZING sex Dream

      by , 01-25-2014 at 07:27 PM
      This dream started out on an island that connected to my parents' house. I was with my brother and we were scavenging for weapons, materials, and ammunition to defend ourselves. He had found a really nice rifle in a graveyard and he used it to scare these looters that attacked us with pistols. After awhile we made a little house out of cloth and this crazy lady made a house right above ours and she was seriously out of her mind. She kept throwing fire bombs and gasoline at us and then occasionally shooting at us until I went into our house and grabbed that nice rifle then she'd go hide. I eventually got tired of the game and went to go take a nap. Was wonderful, after I woke up from the nap I had felt like I slept for days, I was so refreshed.

      I got up and my brother was outside and this girl was there too. It was kind of awkward to see her because we have a little bit of a history, but I hugged her and she was somehow a foot taller than me. She took off the highest high heels that I have ever seen and then she was a foot shorter than me. I was bored so I decided to WILD while sitting on a chair and I realized that every time I closed my eyes, I could see normally after a few seconds even though my eyes were closed. Realized it was a dream and then moved stuff with my mind just to make sure.

    6. Haven't posted anything in a while so here's a super long dream for ya

      by , 01-25-2014 at 06:27 PM
      Wow I haven't posted any dreams in ages––partly because I'm lazy, but also because I haven't been taking very good track of my dreams over the past few months. But now I'm trying to start keeping track again, and hopefully posting these will motivate me to write my dreams down more often.

      I don't remember any dreams from last night, but I'll post a dream I wrote down a few weeks ago that was particularly long/crazy and had a ton of different parts in it. So yeah, here goes:

      I go to [my college] and it’s the beginning of the school year—or so I assume because it’s all sunny and green outside and whatnot. It’s during orientation or something, and all the upperclassmen (the third and fourth years that is) have to join together to learn one huge dance. We all have to wear crazy colorful costumes with lots of feathers on them and stuff.

      I’m late or something and I have to learn part of the dance from some random girl in a trailer near [the athletic center]. So I get in the trailer and the girl is showing me how to do part of the dance. It mostly involves some pretty simple move where I pretty much just have to step forward, then back, then to the side, or something along those lines. But she keeps saying I’m doing it wrong even though I thought it was super easy, so I figure I’m missing something.

      Anyway, then the girl has to go somewhere, and there’s this random older guy (like a professor or something, I don’t know) standing outside the trailer who says he will teach me the rest of the dance later, but then he walks away. I become paranoid that I’m not going to be able to learn the dance in time.

      I start walking around and looking at the various groups of people in their colorful costumes. It seems like everyone has split into groups and they’re all going to do separate dances. (I see [a girl I know from high school] and she’s talking about how her group has to wear fake boobs. Huhhh.) I think about how nice it is that the upperclassmen get to do this instead of doing stupid orientation activities.

      There’s another short part where I’m lying in my bed (at home) and [two of my sisters] are also in their beds and asking me questions about some movie about a chef––but like, the whole movie is a euphemism for sex somehow and they’re asking me to explain it and I’m like, “Uhhh … I don’t know.”

      In another part I’m working at [the library where I used to work] again, and I’m not really doing anything––just wandering around the stacks looking for something interesting to read. But every time I find a spot where I can just stand around and read for a while, I see some other librarians standing around talking and I’m afraid I’ll get caught.

      I end up in some random corner where there are a bunch of flyers and booklets on a shelf and I’m trying to arrange them all in a neat row but they keep all falling over or turning outwards. I realize it might be a better system if I just had them all arranged so that they were facing out, but then I’m too lazy to change the arrangement I’ve already made.

      Below that shelf there’s another shelf with gigantic picture books on it. They all look super old. Apparently they’re reference books and I’ve never seen them before, and they’re all really cool––so I’m like, “Whoa, why did I never know about these?”

      (I think I either wake up from this one or I have a false awakening—either way, I have this disorienting moment where I still believe I work at the library in real life and then I’m really confused, like, “No I don’t … Wait, yes I do … Wait, no I don’t …”)

      There’s some really short part where I’m watching some thing where Superman and some blond lady with a ponytail and I think a few other people are all running through this stormy landscape and then there are these helicopters chasing after them that are going to shoot at them, and Superman is like, “Haha well that’s okay, because I’m immune to bullets!” And all his friends are like, “Ummm … but we’re not.”

      Yet another part: I’m in my grandparents’ (old) house, in their TV room. I think maybe my mom is also there? And I’m trying to call [my sisters], and then I try to call [three of my friends from high school] … because apparently all five of them are on a hike together. When I try to call [my sister] she doesn’t pick up her phone, but then this weird thing happens where she somehow answers the phone after her “leave a message” recording thing has played but I still can’t talk to her because she can’t hear me I guess. I think I actually talk to [my friend] on the phone but I forget what she says.

      In another part I’m in some random kitchen (which kind of looks like our kitchen at [the place I used to live]) and I think my whole family is there. There’s this weird washing machine; [my brother] opens it and it still continues running even when it’s open. But the whole time it’s running, it’s overflowing and squirting all this water into the microwave which is situated above it. And my mom is like, “Oh don’t worry, that’s normal.”

      At some other point, I’m at some random event and all my high school friends are there. We’re all sitting in this big field somewhere and it’s kind of getting dark outside. I’m talking to [one of my friends] and I have a popsicle stick for some reason––one of those ones with a joke on it. And I’m like, “Haha want to hear a popsicle stick joke?” and then I try to read the joke but I misread it and accidentally think it says something about Sherlock and I’m like, “Lol I can’t stop thinking about Sherlock.” (I had this dream after the day season 3 started, so ... it was actually true.)

      And finally there’s some other part where there are a bunch of kids are having some kind of race and then there are these two boys who are particularly competitive with each other … ? Err yeah I don’t remember the details.
    7. A reccuring past dream..

      by , 01-25-2014 at 05:30 PM
      I have had this dream quite a few times. It almost like an RPG, but a little more than that. My "party" and i have to transport some object inside the lair of the main enemy, and it always proves rather difficult. I'm not sure what happens when we get the object in their, i haven't ever completed it. There is a sort of World Map, if you will. That is how you move about in the dream, and If an enemy is able to make contact with you, it turns into a battle scene, and you must fight. Very similar to FFVIII. As i stated, it really seems like an RPG, but it was as real as real gets in the dream.

      Proper music for this dream:


      Characters: There was me, for starters. I had on a mix of robes and Long sleeve wear. Black and godl colorered, i wielded a halberd / Naginata mix. I had the ability to summon a horse for a few short moment. there was another girl, but i cannot remember what she did or who she was, un-fortunantly she died rather early on. There was a Manticore type of thing with us, he was strong and silent. And there was another male, but i can't remember him at the moment either...

      This was basically me, but my naginata only had a blade on one end, and the pole itself was a bit thicker.
      Who am I?-warrior_girl_2.jpg

      The castle sits atop a mountain. My team and i have made it close to the enemies main Lair. We just have to get a bit further...it's been so tough getting here. It seems as though we have to climb up these walls to progress. The walls are almost arranged in a stair like fashion. There is dynamite attatched to a part of each of the walls, and in order to progress, you have to blow a piece of the wall to get through and up. We had managed to be stealthy, but it seems as though we have no choice now. I had our Manticore friend try to jump up walls (he had great jumping abilities) to see if he can distract and bring some of the enemies down to us, or to lead them near the part in the wall that would explode.....

      We end up fighting our way past enemies and managing to get through all the walls. The last one had an entrance into a room with a bunch of ropes.The ropes all lead up to the same point. We climbed up the ropes, and found ourselves atop a very skinny walkway, which eventually led to a small cliff / basin on the side of the enemies castle. There was an endless drop off of the walkway, leading back down to the base of the mountain i presume. It was too foggy to see very far down. (this entire fortress is on the top of a mountain.) There where two opponents over there, and they didn't look like any goons to me. We began to move down the walkway towards the area. Not suprisingly, one of them spotted up. She ran up top one the ledges, and grabbed something off a pedestal. Then, i'm not sure what she did, but the walkways started to rumble. Uh Oh. We ran as fast as we could, as the walkways started to collapse. Myself, the male and female managed to make it to the end of the walkway. The Manticore was having trouble...the walkways where already falling around us, he was jumping from piece of falling debris to piece of falling debris. I looked him in the eye, and that moment was enough to communicate was was going on. He was sorry, and wanted us to continue on without him and that he will be okay....The last piece debris fell, and he stayed on top of it, riding it down into the abyss. I called out his name as he fell....it was very sad. I was close to him. From remorse, to anger. A seething rage built up in me, they would pay. One of my collueges said my name, and i turned around to be facing the 2 girls. As i thought, these women where no mere goons. I didn't know who they where, but they seemed powerfull. They where both taller than all of us, maybe 8 or 9 ft. One had black hair and oen had blonde hair. Their skin was not human. It was a mix of purple and dark blue...the colors fading into themselves all over thier bodies. They appeared to have some kind of natural armour.

      This picture has a good example. If you look at her arms in this picture, their entire bodies where covered like that, but it was purple and dark blue instead. the "armour" didn't cover their faces though. their skin was a pale dark white.

      Who am I?-demon02.jpg

      ...One of the them charged us. She was fast. She stabbed the girl that was with us. Put her fist right through her. Shit, we need to move...The male with me starts running towards the upper cliff, one of them follows him. I hope he will be okay. Now this one is left just staring at me...I haven't moved from the cliff. This is a 50/50 chance i can pull this off....i get in a defensive position, trying to make it seem like i'm going to fight her here. She remains still for a moment, but i remain cool so as to not expose my plan. Finally, i notice a few muscles in her leg move ever so slightly. Yes, it worked! i side step, and just as i did, she dashed right to the edge of the cliff, right where i was standing. she looks rather confused, and is trying not to fall. I'm behind her, and i say into her ear , "say hi to -insert manticore name here- for me." And i kick her right off the cliff. Good riddance. I look over to see my male friend attempting to fight the other one, but it's too much for him. He is killed....i sigh to myself....all of my friends are dead...this is not going well....suddenly i spot that pedastal one of them was at earlier. I begin making my way up to it. Un-fortunantly, the demonic girl didn't forget about me. Thankfully, my friend had led her a bit of ways away. She was fast, and closing distance even faster. I ran to the pedastal. There was on orb on the ground..it was clearly in the pedastal before. I pick it up and scan for a way out of here real quick. There are two large doors at the base of the castle...with a small hole in the middle of them. About the size of the Orb. Right...i get it....i began running towards the door at full sprint...the demonic was getting rather close now...too close for comfort...and there was...more? shit. I would never make it to that door before they caught up to me...unless....
      I still had an ability left, another trick up my sleeve. I could summon a war horse, but only for short amounts of time, and it had a rather long "cooldown" (inb4 smite, yeah, this probably where it comes from) . I summon my war horse and begin riding very fast towards the door. Those things are not able to keep up. as soon as i reach the door i jump off and the horse fades into the night. I put the orb in the door, and it creaks open. I remove the orb, and slam the doors shut. I turned around, and i was in the some kind of dining hall in the bottom of the castle....i stopped for a minute to dwell on all the sacrafices up until this point. I sigh to myself, and begin my journey into the castle.....

      and they dream fades as i start walking. I've had many dreams trying to infiltrate this castle. And i never seem to quite get in there....very frustrating.

    8. Blonde Prince Photography Mission, Throwing Cotton at Lunchtime, Skeleton Chainsaw Wielding Entity

      Blonde Prince Photography Mission (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I’m assigned to take a photograph of a blonde prince, and his composition in general looked like he was derived from the Hunter x Hunter anime art style. I’m not at my objective as yet, and I have to proceed down a spiraling dark chamber.

      There’s all sorts of random entities I end up having to shoot, and the area is too dark for me to really expound more into detail. Another major aspect is that Chief Daisuke from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex appears with a gun.

      <



      >

      Eventually, I reach my destination and try to take a picture of the blonde prince, but it seems Chief is assigned to take care of that and shoot him if I took too long with my objective. I honestly didn’t know what to do other than one task, so I just let him do his thing, and that’s pretty much it.

      Throwing Cotton At Lunch (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I’m sitting in a cafeteria with random dream characters, and I’m throwing a few cotton balls at paper trays. I see a few familiar faces like Lyanne, and she’s giggling at what I’m doing I guess.

      07.01.2014
      Skeleton Chainsaw Wielding Entity (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I’m inside an area that looks similar to Resident Evil 4’s castle region where you had to protect Ashley while she turns levers, and monks are coming after her.

      <



      >

      There’s a swarm of Las Plagas enemies to the point where things get a bit overwhelming to handle them all. I only have a few flash grenades on me, at least that’s what I conceptually presumed I had without trying to do some mental scanning of other weapons.

      I figured that if I were to use one of the flash grenades, it would at least kill off those with the parasites that are literally growing out of their heads. So I take the initiative, but it doesn’t seem to really kill them off. It only blinds them and has them delaying their movements for a few seconds while covering their eyes.

      I threw another flash grenade to augment my chances of escape by avoiding the enemy. However, an entity that’s made up of a cartoon skeleton figure comes in wielding a chainsaw. He’s wearing a deep V-neck black dress shirt that has dark gray vertical stripes along with a brown belt and gray buckle, and also basic black pants to cover up his skinny and bony legs.

      His chainsaw is probably about half his height, and he’s not hesitant to flail it around like a madman, and comes at me with full force. I have to back up quickly, and looked back occasionally to make sure I wouldn’t trip on something. After a while, things got hectic for me, and I decided to just mentally conjure up an inventory screen and switch to a Chicago Typewriter.

      <



      >

      The moment I wielded it, I pressed the trigger, and whatever happened, happened.

    10. 1/24/2014 // spirit anti racism training

      by , 01-24-2014 at 07:22 PM
      Spent the most of the night in dreams with African American spirits ( I am white) and learning about equality and not being a racist punk. I started the first segment by going to one of the guys and telling him the truth of what I am before I could be accepted for help. So I said I am racist I cannot help it, it is in my DNA and raising up, and after that they were so happy that he came up to me and did something to my head, it felt like he was he was unscrewing a part of my brain, and then he removed something from my head and I felt as peace for a bit after that, free of many judgement and racist thoughts. Was amazing. Had many more scenes hanging out in this new community, and some scenes with my Army friends from back in the day. I remember, these guys felt like Gods. They were so powerful, one guy kicked a soccer ball so high into the air it was pretty much cloud level. It was awesome to hang out with them.

      Another scene me and someone is picking up a family of spirits. They look identical to humans, they get in the car, and we have to go on through some sort of checkpoint into a living human area. They keep saying something like this is so weird that you guys use 'time', we don't have 'time' as spirits. I asked them if they were good or evil, and they said they are both, they have transcended duality. Anyways we get onto the base, and park some where and all get out and head our separate ways.

      Later on I remember playing some sort of amazing side-scrolling Mario game that felt like it came from a way in the future society, it was so well crafted and intuitive to play. I remember getting a Grim Reaper suit for Mario as a power-up, that was cool. Then when I think I was at the end of the level I was either sucked into the game or another dream scene and I had to sword fight someone in a tunnel, in my first person perspective. Very hazy though can't remember the details of that.

      Later on back with my new African-American friends again, still learning to be non-judgemental and respectful and see everyone with equality. I remember eating lots of cake, and following these guys around, also near the very end of my dreams a scene with a very big(round) black guy comes into the room and the split second I saw him I thought something mean about him being fat, and he instantly said "WHO SAID THAT" and turned to me and groaned. So I had to repent/atone apologize to him to make it right again.

      All in all a very good eye opening night. Thanks spirit friends!

    11. Dreamworld Explorer Society: January Targets

      by , 01-24-2014 at 05:32 PM
      I saw a little hole under a mound of sod. The mound was about 6, maybe 10 feet high, but this little opening beckoned me. As I stick my head in, I can see that there is a tunnel. I go in and as I am walking along, I feel the sides of the tunnel. They are dirt, but hardened and compacted. This is not a pyramid. I walk on. Thinking about the little blue vial of lucidity potion that I am looking for and wondering about the pyramid and if this tunnel will lead me to it.
      The tunnel takes a slight turn to the left and becomes wider. I can stand at full height now. I think "there needs to be light" and torches appear spaced intermittently and wala! I can see bricks! Large rectangular blocks! This must be a pyramid!
      After walking along for a bit more and not finding any other passages, the tunnel turns to the left again. I walk into another larger chamber and immediately notice there are DC in here. I stand back in the shadows and just watch them. They are in blue coveralls and pushing a hand cart over newly turned earth. They do not see me, or at least they don't let on that they do. On the cart is a HUGE drum of who knows what! Probably a 500 gallon drum of something and they are really struggling to keep the hand cart on track. I cock my head to the side all of a sudden understanding comes to me. I smile as the DC's finally straighten out he cart without spilling the huge drum of....LUCIDITY POTION! The one in the front turns to look at me. I guess he was expecting me or something, but he stands aside and

      Woke up.
      So yeah, I had seeded my dream with the image of a little blue bottle of potion and the DC's bring me 500 gallons of it!
      I guess that means I REALLY, REALLY need help with my lucid abilities.lol

    12. Welcome to Mars!

      by , 01-24-2014 at 02:45 PM (Lucid Time!)
      Where the heck was my dream recall the past few days?

      ...enh who cares, cool NLD.

      So I was in for exactly that. Flying a mission to mars with a crew of three others. Two males, one female. (When I think about it, everyone was wearing heavy space suits, so they may have been my regular dream characters if I had gotten a good look at them.)
      So we've got one guy as the mission scientist. He's basically the commander who is in charge of the all the science and making sure that the mission is actually completed. The other guy is in charge of defense in case we come across hostile aliens. (With how many alien invasion dreams I've had the past six months, that isn't surprising.) And the girl that's with us in in charge of psychology, making sure that nobody goes crazy on our long journey. And I guess I am just the freeloader along for the ride.
      Our ultimate mission is to fly to mars and grow four of these dinosaur creatures from eggs. Supposedly somebody wanted to re-shoot a scene of the Gungan army from star wars the phantom menace but actually have living creatures. So they genetically modified some lizard eggs to be the giant creatures that carry the shield generators. So what we have to do is grow the creatures on mars then take them to the moon.

      Spoiler for I'm sorry I just have to:

      So anyway the actual mission gets underway, but the dream was so long that the first parts of it are a pretty fuzzy memory. We stopped over at a space station in earth orbit, I got introduced to the crew, and I watched as a tray of four large eggs in a high tech storage container were delivered on-board our shuttle. I also got to go on a spacewalk at some point to see what our shuttle looked like. It looked a little like the united states' retired shuttles but had broad flat wings like a stealth bomber, but they were swept back on a steeper angle. The station looked a little like the US station but was bigger.

      --Some time skips.--

      We are on mars now. Supposedly this dream was taking place in the near future (2040-2050) where humans actually had a permanent base on mars. The base was built behind a rocky outcropping that protected it from the sun. It was a cluster of small one story buildings connected by underground passages. There was a large fortress like building, two stories tall with a large communications mast on it. Supposedly for detecting if any hostile aliens were coming.
      Anyways, me and everyone minus the science officer were taking our scheduled day off. This meant we got to get into our space suits and play around on the surface of mars. The other two officers drove around in a large moon buggy type thing. I had this motorcycle type vehicle, but it still had a sort of space design, in that it was boxy and had no paint. But it preformed well, and in the low gravity of mars, I was able to use the sand dunes as jumps and get some air.
      I was just getting good at doing so when the other officers told me that they were heading back to base because the sun was going to rise. They told me that I could stay out if I liked, but I might start feeling too hot, and that I should engage the visor on my space suit in order to not be blinded by the sun. I decided I would stay, and the sun started to rise. It was blindingly bright, so I pressed a small button on the side of my helmet and no real visor came down, the glass just changed opacity somehow. I continued riding my motorcycle around the area and like they had said, I did start feeling too warm.
      Another thing, when the sun did rise, the sky went from inky black with stars to blue, rather than pink like mars is supposed to be. But other than that the surface of mars looked a lot like the pictures that I've seen.
      I went back to the base and went inside. I had decided that I would wait until the sun went down. I activated some kind of time dilation and saw the sun arc across the sky and set once more. I thought it was time to go back out.


      --Some Time Skips.--

      I am still at the mars base, but we are inside the fortress building that has this really nice room right in the middle. This is a lounge where astronauts that work here get to relax. And get this. They have an Xbox. Not an Xbox one. Not an Xbox 360. Just a regular Xbox. And this was like the year 2045, at the only human mars base. You'd think that the only game console that we had would be a little more up to date than that, but my dreams aren't set in any kind of logical universe.
      There are two leather couches arranged in a semicircle and they were all packed with people. There were actually about 12 of us, because there were the permanent residents of mars and the people on my mission. Apparently this was a Halo tournament. And yes, all of my regular dream characters were there, but I didn't become lucid. Also, this game tournament was apparently a televised event. The first time that humankind had played video games on another planet. So there was a TV camera set up in the corner.
      I sat down to play around the time that I woke up.

    13. 1/23/14 - My Tiger and Me

      by , 01-24-2014 at 07:46 AM
      I'm walking slowly through a really crappy, almost deserted carnival. It's really quiet and unsettling. As I walk I keep looking into empty cages, wondering why they are empty. I stop walking and decide to turn around and go back. I turn around and behind me is a huge, full grown tiger. It startles me a bit but it has a calm look on it's face so I don't feel afraid. It's really beautiful and bigger than normal. I go to walk around it, but it turns around as well and begins to follow me. I continue walking and place my hand on it's head when it catches up to my side. While walking, the scenery changes and we are walking on a sidewalk next to the stater bros in my town. Again the area is pretty quiet and empty. It suddenly gets insanely hot and the tiger and I start panting and walking slower. I get horribly worried about it and stop walking. I kneel down beside him and stroke his face, talking to him and telling him we are almost home. He looks sad and he collapses, his head resting on my lap. I start to panic and yell for someone to get me some water. Suddenly I look up and my Grandma and my little sister are there next to me. I tell them to please buy me some water because my tiger is sick. They agree and start walking to the store. Half way there my sister yells that this is stupid and she leaves. I start crying and murmuring to my tiger, telling him that everything will be okay. I look up again and my grandma hands me a big bottle of cold water and a red bowl to pour it in. I sigh with relief and pour the water into the bowl. The tiger lifts it's head and drinks it all. I scratch it's head the whole time. After he is done, we get up and start walking again. I keep my hand on his head, petting it lightly and he purrs happily. We our on our way home.
    14. Post Podcast Residue Strikes Again!

      by , 01-23-2014 at 07:52 PM (Ophelia's Book O' Fun II)
      Although not in lucid form this time. I've been having bouts of insomnia this week, so last night when I accidentally awoke during the Witching Hour, I decided to try to WILD, recalling what CL and I had discussed in the podcast last night about getting back to sleep successfully after a WBTB. I fell right back to sleep, and proceeded to miss some pretty big signs in this Post Zombie Apacolyptic dream:

      I was suddenly standing in an alley in a residential area, with no memory of who I was. I instantly thought to myself "Ok, try to remember where you just were, and where you were headed.." (per the RC solution to help with the "jump cut" problem we discussed in the podcast last night ). I had no clue who I was or where I was, but pretty soon I noticed that there weren't any people anywhere. And things looked pretty trashed. Like when the scavengers have finished raiding houses after some kind of mayhem. "Zombie Apocalypse" popped in my head, and I knew it was the truth. I just started skipping through the alley and noticed that I had unusual strength. I could skip several feet in the air, and could go quite fast. (Really, Ophelia? Ffs.) it was a bright warm day, and I remember feeling really thirsty. I had a water bottle on me with maybe 2 sips left. I needed more. I kept skipping along and ended up behind a commercial building of some sort. I noticed a big cooler full of ice and cold water bottles! It made me thing there must be live people close, since the ice looked fresh. But as I went for the water, I heard a loud machine come up behind me. It was a medium sized, remote operated tank that I knew had been designed to wipe out zombies. One if the barrels turned and pointed straight at me. I used my superhuman speed to dive behind the large cooler at light speed. I watched as the tank fired 3 clumsy shots around me, completely missing. Suddenly the machine shut down and I heard a woman's voice. She walked up to me and helped me up, giving me a. Little of water that I don't recall if I ever drank. She told me something about what was going on, but the only part of the conversation that I remember was the explanation as to why I couldn't remember who I was. I was a clone. Humans had been successfully able to clone some of us who had been bitten by zombies, before we turned. The original me was destroyed, and the result was a healthy clone that had superhuman strength. I asked her if she was a clone too and she said yes. No clones had any memories of their original lives. Crazy huh. Anyway she took me to this rigged up clinic where there was a lady doctor who was responsible for some of the cloning. I don't remember why we went there, but when I met the doctor I asked her if she was a clone too. She coughed up some blood into a handkerchief and said no. She had been bitten and didn't have much time left. Before I could ask her if she was going to save herself by cloning herself, I woke up.

      I gotta say, even though this dream was nonlucid and I missed some big signs, and I never even got to see a single zombie, I felt like freaking Alice from Resident Evil. I woke up feeling pretty bad ass

    15. 1/23/2014 // vampire thrall den, (nsfw) and other dream segments

      by , 01-23-2014 at 07:33 PM
      Well this one is disturbing for me, and prolly you too but I don't want to cheat my dream journal so here goes:
      I am in a night scene in a village or town, and there are groups of dogs running around the streets, I think (in hindsight) patrolling the neighborhoods for terrors. I am with a group of people one of them is at the entrance of a stairwell with a door heading down into a basement/catacomb. He says a prayer before we head in and down. As I walk down the stairs I also say a prayer out loud for us, a protection against fear blessing. "Dear Lord, please bless us with a protection against fear, in Jesus name we pray, Amen." I reach the bottom of the steps and there is a large group of people, many children and a few adults staring at us. I asked them what they are doing here, and don't really get much of an answer I can remember. The other guy with me I think he says they are vampire thralls. So I grab one of the females near me and look at her and she has bite marks on her neck. The other guy grabs one of them and suddenly there is a big vat of most likely holy water in the room and he pushes its head into the water and watches it dissolve away and the thrall ceases to be. I was behind him during this process so he could not see me, but I was still looking at the bite marks and I did not realize what I was supposed to be doing. I think at this point I was semi lucid, and I was confused, so I leaned forward and kissed her on the bite marks perhaps thinking I was supposed to play the role of vampire. I stopped kissing her because I felt her energy instantly change to confusion, she was wondering why I was doing that instead of putting her in the holy water. Anyways the other guy is done killing his thrall, so now its my turn and I take her to the vat, and push her head in and watch it dissolve. But here is the gross (nsfw) part. I start grabbing her chest and feeling her breast as this is happening, and also her butt and well lets say it was necrophilia and it woke me up and left me in a state of extreme confusion.

      So now I am awake but still have this background thread of the dream running in real time in my subconscious. I wonder if those are thralls, where is the vampire, and just then he shows up. We get in a fight and I grab him and dive backwards into the vat pulling his head into it with me. But something happens the vat starts dissolving me, and the vampires face is badly damaged, and I completely melt away. But the vampire is standing by the vat now in a state of pain it seems and I am still aware of the scene. So I use all my willpower and make my spirit essence become strong enough that a mist of my arms come out of the vat and grab the vampire again and pull him back down. But he grabs the sides of the vat with his arms and is really strong resisting. Then the other guy (who now is a misty spirit like myself for some unknown reason) jumps on his back and our combined force brings the vampire into the vat and we all 3 die and the dream ends.


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

      Another dream scene same night, I am observing some sort of battle almost like a fantasy MMO game, but much more intense and awesome. One of my IRL friends is playing it with his party, and it is like the holodeck in star trek so it encompasses our whole perspective. Anyways he is summoning an amazing dragon that he is holding over his head and the dragon is launching all sorts of magic projectiles at a big beast they are fighting. Some of them get killed by my friend is the priest and he cast a mass resurrect spell and heals everyone to life again, and they battle some more and defeat the beast. Was a sight to see! I want that game!

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

      Different dream segment, am sitting at a table with a bunch of old Army coworkers/friends. They are catching up with me and one of them is getting a Lifetime Achievement Award. The other one I found out is promoted to Sergeant First Class, but the one that got the award was also demoted to Staff Sergeant (prior to the award). Anyways I had a semiracist/judgemental thought and woke up and had to ask forgiveness to feel at ease.
