memorable

It was a ND at first we were setting up a bon fire to produce a signal of some sort. then it became a blur until I saw a resident evil zombie ( you know the ones that open their mouth like a crab would). It wasn’t there to harm me at first. It screamed at me then ran away with many others into a building.
I then became Lucid and said this is a dream . then I saw a crowd of people throwing Molotov’s at the building. I was in a warehouse district. I heard big explosion sounds but did not see them. then the crowd stopped and cheered as if all the beasts were gone.
I saw a group of people head into the warehouse. I followed (and this seems funny now ) but then I asked a taller man if I could have a piggy back ride. I said I felt short and wanted to see ahead. he said ok, I did not see much at first until zombies poured out of the door . I jumped off and every one started to run the other way. trying to keep my fear at bay a zombie approached me.
I held it's arms to keep it back then someone told me to rip it's arms off,
so I did .
but it kept coming so I tried to fly but had troubles . I got a few feet up and luckily a big metal cube appeared next to me. I got on top along with 3 other people then it shot up. I stayed on to see were it would go I wasn't fond of this dream scene any way .
I appeared in a restaurant of some sort it was really crowded. I seen someone I wanted to talk to. I don't remember what I said to him but I recall it was very hard to talk and I was stuttering big time . he just laughed and walked away.
after that someone came up to me but this time they were stuttering big time. he was wearing a black jump suit with green trim, same color hat, glasses and somewhat of a buck tooth smile. I thought and said, you must be my stuttering self. he shook his head yes.(although I don't stutter much) I walked with him, with my arm around him and said, it's ok just slow down and think clearly . someone in the back ground said, Oh he's trying to help himself out.
I didn't think much of it that time. I left him and kept walking in search of another dream figure to talk to. there was a big man with a dark flannel shirt and a black cowboy hat that caught my eye. I walked toward him as I got closer he changed form. he changed to a mid sized woman with big glasses a white cowboy shirt and a black cowboy hat. I was confused at first than asked, what do you represent? she just turned her head and looked away. I thought she was a simple thought form and just said, ok then and walked away.
I got a few feet away then heard the voice in the back ground again. this time it said, why didn't you listen to her. I looked around and saw no one talking to me. I realized it must be my unconscience talking . I replied, she ignored me.
suddenly I appeared outside I was in a coulder sack in a residential area. I saw groups of people around I had the urge to fly. I looked at the top of a roof and wanted to fly to it. I focused on it and tried to picture myself there but I did something wrong because the dream collapsed and I woke up.

I will start with a couple ND's of mine then the rest will be LD's.
I started out swimming with some people I did not know.
some kind of conflict happened but I don't recall.
They ended up locking me in a building and tried to kill me with knives.
Two girls and two men with knives. I took one of thier knives away and stabbed the two men in the side. not trying to kill them but to hurt them so I could get away.
I finally get away through a window.
now I am running, jumping and flying away. I find a book store and started to look at some books I picked two up. then I saw one of the men I stabbed. I ran for the door with books in hand. Outside I realized I still had the books so I dropped them near the door. the book store clerk was mad.
the man was still after me so I ran toward a street. I saw a car I wanted it to hit me to end it all. instead it stopped and the two girls got out. the two men appeard behind me. I was cornered so I said just kill me allready. one of the girls said, I'd be glad to. she stabbed in the throat.
I fell to the ground and started bleeding out. Holding my neck I began to pray, forgive me father for all my sins. then I woke up.

I don't know what triggered the stream of, DAYS in a row, of lucid dreaming that happened every night for probably 4 days in a row. Rereading the info found here about WBTB, thats probably the state I was in, sleeping in the cold, on the floor, unable to really rest, so I kept waking and drifting off....back to back all night. But, you know what? When I was asleep in my dreams, I felt SO rested! I was energized, alive, and it was so real I even saw things in some strange 3-D, just like it was really happening.

I don't know the dates of these dreams, but I can narrow them down to the week of February 7-14.

Everything from me and Adam having wild sex in a public place, to having a dream of eating with chopsticks, to FLYING - its been YEARS since I had a flying dream. I was dipping and swooping and diving, in a spin, and enjoying the freedom.

Due to 1)not being online at the time, and 2)being worried about just surviving day to day and where we would lay our heads the next night for 6 weeks, coming here to tell others about it was the last thing on my mind. I have missed this place....

I have been completely swamped for the past few days, but I've still been trying to remember my dreams and smoke less before going to bed. So here's what I got from the last four nights.

Feb. 18

I want to say that I took 50 mg of zinc a few hours before bed and 10 mg of melatonin at bedtime for this. I think it was this night....

Almost Like A Lucid.... [Non-Lucid]

This dream was long and I don't remember a lot of the build up to it, but I do recall that around when my memory comes in I had the perception that I was viewing something that had happened earlier in the dream again from a different perspective, like I had gone back in time to watch it. I'm not sure if this event had actually happened earlier or not, but it sure felt like it did. I was standing in front of a building in some downtown area watching a crowd of people walk through the front doors, and among them was the past me. I also saw this girl walking not too far from me and decided to possess her, but she got into the building before I could get up to her. I easily rewound time and caught her before she went in again and entered her body. Then I just kept walking into the building to see what all the fuss was about. The inside looked just like some kind of mini-mart like a 7-Eleven but maybe just a little bit fancier. As I walked around I started thinking about some imaginary superhero story I was apparently making, specifically in relation to the villain. I had an idea about how to start them out with something like mind reading or telepathy and move it up to body possession through some kind of power increase, but I can't remember exactly what it was now. At that point the dream became a little less vivid and I shot forward through the wall (smoothly phased) and started flying over the field I was next to, since this place was now a stop on a highway out in the middle of nowhere, and as I was admiring it I woke up.

Feb. 19

I'm fairly certain I took a 10 mg melatonin here, too.

#1 - I'm Sure He Can Handle It [Non-Lucid]

I was hanging out with my friend N when we somehow became aware of the fact that our mutual friend R (who I met N through) had been taken hostage somewhere. We were in a house that I believe somewhat resembles my aunt and uncles' old house from like fifteen years ago, but I barely remember it. I decided to call his cell phone to see if he could pick up, but his voice message had been changed to some guy with a really heavy British accent talking about how we had reached some kind of game development company or something. I tell N that he must have been taken hostage by British criminals who had changed his message so that they could pretend to be a legit company and no one would know to save him, and that we have to go rescue him right away, but added that "I still have a class to go to today. " I turned my head and saw a TV with a commercial playing in the corner of the room. The audio to it was talking about something along the lines of making your own robot, but all the video was showing was a guy wrapping himself in plastic and trying to mold it to make armor out of it. I instantly feel that R might've seen this commercial too and had the same idea, and so he may already have been able to escape on his own.

#2 - Lucid Dreaming Tutorial [Non-Lucid]

The main thing I remember about this dream is walking around the park by my house with my mom and coming across these kids, like three or four boys around eight to ten years old if I remember correctly. They asked me how to fly in a lucid dream so I showed them, though I did something totally different than I actually do in a lucid (which this was not), which was like this multiple jumping thing kind of like in a Mario game. Despite thinking that this was my normal routine, I could tell that it felt really odd as I was doing it, though I didn't know why. However, I still did manage to fly, but they didn't quite understand my method. I just told them I'd see them again some time and teach them more later on, because I guess I was busy at the moment.

#3 - Dream Fragment [Non-Lucid]

I was giving someone recommendations and tips about which Nippon Ichi Software game to play.

Feb. 20

Poor Judgment Calls [Non-Lucid]

I didn't actually write this one down, so my memory of it is kind of faint now. Basically what I remember is that first I was at my house with my cousin K, then something involving Marona from Phantom Brave happened (I think she might have been my cousin at first that turned into her?), and then I was with JB, this guy I used to hang out with who was pretty sociopathic. We were in my room and my parents kept bothering us, and we were trying to get them to leave us alone so we could have sex (eep ). We never got them to go away before I woke up, though.

Feb. 21

#1 - I Wonder What It Was.... [Non-Lucid]

The part of this dream before my recall really kicks in was at a store, but that's about all I can remember about it. What I do remember is being at a family party at my house, and everyone was gathered in the living room to congratulate this guy I don't recognize for doing something.... I'm not sure what it was, but I know that I felt that either I deserved it or at least he didn't deserve it, or something along those lines. I was being sort of rude and went to the kitchen to sulk alone because I couldn't stand to be in the room for all that, but at one point the guy came in and tried to make me feel better and I started just trying to get over it. My cousin A walked in and started saying something about these bowls of grapes and cherry tomatoes that were sitting on the counter by me and managed to squeeze some open and wear them on the tips of her fingers just to be funny, and then they sort of just absorbed into her fingertips and disappeared and she left. >___> I turned around and my friend M's mom was there too, for some reason (it didn't even look like her, I just perceived that that's who she was). She started telling me about where she grew up, but I don't recall anything she was saying. The dream sort of shifted as it was falling apart, and I got a third-person flash of a Facebook page where someone was telling this girl A that I met recently that she was beautiful and an inspiration to everyone, and then I woke up.

#2 - If Only This Worked In Real Life [Non-Lucid]

I was driving around with some random guy and Linkzelda, and I was trying to show the guy how to get to our imaginary school campus by following Link's directions. At one point we parked and me and the random guy got out of the car at this apartment complex, and this guy who I somehow immediately knew was Jewish came up to us begging for help. He had a gun and said he had run out of bullets for it and was being chased by a group of people, and there was some situation with more guns in an apartment upstairs. The guy that we were showing the campus decided to be a hero and ran off to that upstairs place, and the Jewish guy ran off frightened as he saw the group of people coming after him again. At that moment I realized that they might see me if I'm not careful, so I started whispering to myself "I'm not here, I'm not here...." and getting into a meditative state. I dropped the perception of my body and started floating up away from the scene, but then I looked down at one of the guys running by and got sucked into his body. The dream jumped around a little and I was in some hazy perception of something about a guy and some really attractive woman with guns, but it's so blurry that I can't really recall what was going on now.... And that's the last thing that happened before I woke up.

Final thoughts.... I'm noticing a definite increase in the amount of dream control techniques I employ in non-lucids these days. And it's not just from the examples shown here, it's been happening more and more lately. I wonder if it's because of the way I try to drop awareness in lucids anyway and just run with it; maybe I simply recognize the similar state of mind and use it without acknowledging what it implies?

I laugh and look in the canyon. (canyon on left, kansas on right) There is a river and trees down there, but the river is so blue, and the trees are every color (mostly green, purple, and blue, but there was some red and yellow thrown in). I stared down there for a while and then woke up.

I have a few more dreams I shall post later. These are all the lucids though.

This is a flying dream which happened when I had a fever, it was actually the night my fever finally broke. I was very tired and it felt better than usual when I put my head down in bed.

The dream:
I was going home after a bike ride on a street parallel to a park downhill on my left. There was a yellow school bus passing me and then I took off with my bike. Since it felt real and it was like the first time I flew "for real" I was kinda in shock when I landed in my driveway and didn't remember the flying in between taking off and landing. The next day, I don't know exactly where I went in the morning, maybe work, I only have a sense that it was in a big building with some blue on it, in an industrial sector not far from a shopping mall... (might be because of seeing new areas in my city from taking the bus from a new metro station...) Anyway, when I left the place, I remembered flying before and tried it again, but for some reason I had 2 pillows with me in a back pack and just held them under my bent elbows, my elbows were pointing outwards and my fists on my chest, and I took off! At first I was flying like 60-90 feet off the ground, then up to about 180 feet. It felt like a few days passed, like a fast forward, and I had left work again (whatever work was), and took off again... with the pillows. I decided to see how high I can get and man, I got as high as about 900 feet or more, the ground and all the streets looked like a neighborhood map!

The wind was pretty strong and the left pillow slid to the edge of my elbow, but somehow stayed there... I got a bit scared of falling so I came down gradually and was ok.

It was the weekend now and I decided to go for another flight, and I thought to try it without any pillows and it worked, it just took some more effort to stabilize. I got really high at night, it was beautiful, I even saw a plane about a mile away from me on my left. In flight I remembered a show I used to watch as a kid called The Little Vampire (The Little Vampire (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) as the city looked similar to how they showed it. Now it got weird... I landed next to a bus stop and pay phone near an apartment building as I didn't have my cell with me, I was gonna call a friend. Who do I see walking down the path from the building? MY MOM, yet she's different, she looks more content. I wanted to tell her that I can fly and have been for about a week, she tells me to wait until we're inside to tell her. We get back to what looks like home, but it's in the apartment building, I think it's her place but it has the same furniture as in the house, no sign of my dad. She tells me she didn't know I could fly but that it was actually a hereditary trait for some on her side of the family... and then she pulls out a knitted suit for flying passed down from previous generations... I'm weirded out at first but then I start having ideas about improving it, like adding compartments to the sleeves to insert molded plastic to improve stability... My mom tells me not to go too high due to planes... I think that's around where I woke up... it was 1pm and I was sweaty but no more fever.

Man, this is definitely one of the most detailed dreams I've ever had. In fact it's the one that made me do some research and led me to this site. I've had flying dreams before, but never where I controlled the flying so much, I really flew a lot, it was amazing. I wouldn't say it was a lucid dream though, just a vivid one. I've had 3 lucid dreams in my lifetime and I'm really excited about learning more. Those LDs will be in future posts.

02-19-2013 -- I find myself in the backstage elevator I know from past dreams, riding down to enter the Adventurers Club. When the elevator lets me off, it is at the regular elevator spot, on the Zebra Mezzanine. I step out, and run into a couple of the cast members. I think Graham is doing Fletcher, and is glad to see me. Kristian is doing Hathaway, and is producing that slightly smarmy sort of vibe where I don't think he likes me, but he deals with it by just gently poking fun at me, and it doesn't really bother me. Then Joe (pre-surgery) as Graves walks up to me, greets me kind of warmly (something like "It's nice to see you again, Sir,"), and shakes my hand.

Then something distracts him mid-shake, and he turns away and leaves me holding his right arm. His real, live, right arm. He walking away, and I'm calling after him, asking "Graves ... Graves ... do you think you might still need this?" But he's disappeared through one of the staff doors, so I'm left carrying his arm.

I'm walking counter-clockwise around the mezzanine, and downstairs, somebody is calling out for Graves, asking him to give them a hand, and each time they do, his arm raises up in my hand and waves excitedly, but there's not much else it can do without its own body. I glance down, and oddly, the bar is over where the Treasure Room usually is. Eventually Graves arrives there (sans arm) right as I reach the stairwell and start down.

I am going down the stairs with my right hand on the banister, and my left hand holding Joe's arm, and it is kind of feeling in front of itself like a blind man might. There are people coming up the stairs at the same time, and Graves' arm ends up feeling up the chests of the women, who for some reason find the freshness from a disembodied arm to be hilarious. Meanwhile, it seems Joe can still feel whatever his arm is touching, and he is making comments like "Oh, that's nice," and "I've got to do this more often." Everybody just roars with laughter.

Things shift, and Graves has his arm back, and I am relaxing in the Main Salon, while many of the performers are just mingling with people and chatting. Then soon they start to seat a show (I think it is a treasure room show), and I end up wandering over to the desk in the stairwell, and sitting down to do a little writing. I know I am dreaming, and I find it to be a very nice dream, and I want to write it down, while I can still remember it really well.

I'm trying to write it down on an envelope, but there are already several other dreams written on it, so I'm having trouble finding any room, and am having to write bits of it down here, there, and everywhere. Will make it hard to keep track of when it comes time to transfer it to the computer. Meanwhile, I know I am dreaming, but I am enjoying the dream enough that I'm not trying to change anything, but just enjoying it as it is.

A maid who I don't actually recognize walks by, and makes a couple of comments, and I explain I am writing down this dream, so I won't forget it (and wondering if I will wake up to find it already written down, or if I will have to write it down again in the real world.) I find myself wondering where the other female performers are, because I've seen most of the men, but only the one woman, and I don't know her.

Then I hear another voice, and I recognize it ... Jennifer. But I turn around, and she isn't in a Club costume. Instead she is in a really short (at both ends) red dress and a black wig. She is explaining to some others that she is in training for a new role, and has a couple of days left to go in that training. She has a very strong Betty Boop vibe going on, but she also has a very obvious, strong (fake) Flintstones five o-clock shadow going on, that makes the role a cross between Betty Boop, Betty Rubble, and oddly enough, Barney Rubble.

Meanwhile, one of the cast members in the Main Salon is making some sort of comment about how the Club closed down years ago, but urging us all to attend and participate in ConGaloosh, and I'm thinking how I'd love to, if I could afford it, but ....

Another of those dream shifts, and I find myself at some sort of after-Club party somewhere. I think Jennifer brought me along, and everybody is chatting, and somebody is asking why I am here, and I am still trying to properly explain the thing with Graves' arm, and this being a dream. Jennifer wants to take me aside to talk for a few minutes, but before she gets the chance, somebody else grabs her, and I end up taking a seat on a sofa to wait for her, then I wake up. (And do have to write the dream down again, since doing so in the dream didn't carry through to the real world. Pity. 8-D )

In this dream, I woke up to my phone's alarm, went to the kitchen, put 2 bread slices in the toaster, and made cereal. Once I finished the cereal, I felt full, but noticed the two slices of toast, ready for Jelly, but I ignored them instead.

I end up walking into Math Class, and in the corner of the class near Ms. Schilds desk was Miyuki and Vladimir, both talking about whatever they usually talk about. I pretend to not notice them as I walk to the place I thought I sat, somewhere in the back. As I walk, I look back at them a few times, and see Miyuki quietly talk to Vladimir about something, and her face didn't make it seem like it was anything positive.

Before I knew it, the entire class was filled with kids. Jessica, Cat, Matt, Ashley, and Issac where the main characters in this dream. I Walked to the front to find out what we were doing today. On the board, it seemed like we were coping down answers from multiple Homework Assignments and Tests. When I passed Miyuki's Desk, she stopped me for a moment and said "Hey Chris? About yesterday..." and she whispered something, but the class was way too loud, and I told her to just text me, and walk back to my seat.

Ashley Quickle asked out loud to the class if anyone had any wax, and I immediately remembered Matt Garcia asking me for wax the previous night, though the wax Ashley needed was for imprinting answers from the textbook (Silly Putty Style) and not for a Vape.

I try to forget about Miyuki, and walked over to the front corner near the door, where Jessica King, Cat Kaiser and Matt Fowler all sat and hanged out. Cat had a math book open, while Jessica sat next to her, trying harder then anyone I knew to stay awake. I sat in front of Jessica and we basically had a conversation on how it was fucking incredible that Jessica goes to sleep every night at 4 a.m. and wakes up at 6 a.m. and manages to somehow stay 'awake' during the 8 hours of school we have, and she laughed a little bit, but it was apparent there was a very thin string between her awareness and knocking out into a deep sleep. I remember Jessica's eyes were very baggy, but her actual eyes were very fun to stare into! (Is that weird? Nah!)

After awhile, I went to the front corner between the board and Ms. Schild's Computer Desk, to copy more notes, because I was talking and forgot to do them, seeing the rest of the class was far ahead. Some people talked to me, and a lot of it dealt with me musing to myself about the day so far, and what to expect next. Its funny actually a lot of my dream 'thinking' was all about remembering the 'dream' I thought I had (The Breakfast) but it turned out I was in a dream while I thought about remembering a dream! All of a sudden, my foot knocks down this large wooden board with answers on it, that everyone was copying down from. Issac Mills immediately starts yelling his clever, witty, 'disapproving of my everything' remarks, for all the class to hear, and I frantically struggled to get the board up right so people could copy it again, but the board was very long and unbalanced, so after many failed attempts, I woke up.

So lets see what I dreamed about...

- I hid from Count Dooku
- I summoned Yoda to fight Dooku and keep him from finding me while I hid in the bathroom
- I swam in a flooded creek
- I rescued my daughter from the same flooded creek (mildly scary)
- I watched cats fly away in the catplane

Let's start with the catplane.

So I'm dreaming of a literal cat plane, a cat that actually flies and carries passengers. See, there are these two cats competing with each other to see who can fly the farthest. Each one opens up the side panel on their body revealing a hollow interior which other cats can walk into. The floor of the interior of each catplane has a bunch of holes in it designed to fit the legs of the cats who walk in.

The first cat takes in two passengers, two cats that walk in and place their legs into the leg holes. The door closes and the catplane takes off into the air with the legs of the passenger cats sticking out of the leg-holes. It looks really weird.

The second cat watches with a sly look on his face, knowing he's smarter. Four cats walk into his interior and place their legs into the leg holes and then the catplane lowers down to the ground on its own legs. The cats inside then sit down which causes their feet to fit perfectly into the slightly ovaled leg holes. The catplane then stood up, closed the door and flew off, but no legs are sticking out of the holes. This makes the second catplane more aerodynamic which will certainly allow it to fly farther.

I so wish I could draw that one.

Let's finish with the catplane. I think that's enough for now.

I wake up for a brief moment and then go back to sleep, and am able to do a WILD

I'm in the middle of a downtown city. It looks to be about midday - the sun is out and it's bright. The clarity is fantastic. I can see the individual leaves on the trees. I remember from reading Stephen LaBerge's work that in order to keep the dream stable I need to be constantly participating. So I try to take in everything I can. I begin to run down the street. There are no other people in sight. It's like a ghost city. I come to what looks like an Art History museum. Behind Glass is an ancient statue of an elephant. It's a humanoid elephant and it's style was strongly reminiscent of Egypt, India, and Greece all kind of melded into one. I remember studying the details of the white marble and marveling at how intricate they were. I even turned away and looked back and everything stayed the same. It was that stable!

(I drew a depiction of it)


I walk inside the museum, and feel like I own it. I mean essentially I did own it because it was my dream. But I walk around and look at a few things. I see another statue of a horse belonging to the same civilization that was intricately decorated with a headdress and feathers. I am pretty amazed at the beauty my mind had came up with for this civilization. I feel like I could derive a whole culture just from the statues that had been placed there for me to see. I walk into a darkened room and begin to hear an ominous static noise that reminds me of the game "SlenderMan". And as soon as I begin to fear seeing him he shows right up - just as expected. I quickly try to ignore him and he disappears.

I notice a guy in a security uniform standing in the museum. I walk up to him and feel like he shouldn't belong. His eyes shift away from me, and he has a look on his face like he is up to no good. I tell him he needs to leave and he promptly replies "No."

That's fine, so I try to erase him by waving my hand in front of my eyes and hoping as my hand passes he will disappear (this has worked in the past for me). But, alas, it does not work and he is still standing there.

I turn around and see a couple of other guards (who seem legit enough) by a door. I wave them over and tell them to escort the guy I didn't like out of the museum. They immediately follow my instruction, grab him by the arm and take him away. I feel pretty satisfied, and then the dream ends

I went to bed at around 10:30 because I wanted to get up in the middle of the night to attempt a FILD and not be tired the next day because I had to wake up at 7:00 and go to the high school. I put on my headphones and listen to a binaural beat while repeating myself: "I will dream and realize I'm dreaming"
Before getting asleep, I quit the headphones and sleep. Here starts the epic quest to free from art thieves a town, or something like that.

The dream starts with Kirito and Asuna, two characters from an anime I like called "Sword Art Online"
I am just a floating point who is observing the story (FP from now on) and who is following Asuna, which is walking around a forest with a wooden house inside. Eventually, she goes meet Kirito, who is riding an aeroplane of Halo 3 (the little alien ones). Asuna says that she wants one too, Kirito answers something I don't remember, and Asuna answers that they agreed to buy one for each once they had enough money. Then, Kirito and Asuna head to the city, and in the portal of the town there is someone important of the city (I don't know who was he exactly) who says that they can't buy any more aeroplanes because they could attract Sinh (The bad guy from Final Fantasy X). Kirito answers something I don't remember (I can't remember 99% of what Kirito said in this dream xD) and persuades the other guy to sell them an aeroplane.

Once bought, the two of them get back to the wooden house in the forest and decide to practice by dueling. I can see in the upper left and right of my point of view (PoV from now on) two limit indicators from Kingdom Hearts 2 (I've lost the count of references in this dream xD) which represent Kirito and Asuna's health. From being just an FP I start controlling Kirito in third person. However, during the battle, I don't move Kirito at all until his health bar is almost empty. Then, Asuna starts moving badly, and I start attacking reckless until I get her health bar almost empty too. Then, without an clear winner, the two of them stop fighting.

I become a FP again, and they start heading to the city. When they get to the city, they enter inside a building and start talking to someone. I go from being a FP to see the PoV of Kirito. I see through an open window that a red army of soldiers is entering the city (the soldiers appearance are halfway from some other guys from Sword Art Online and other soldiers that make appearance in Final Fantasy VI). Kirito//I asks about them, and other guy says that they are here to stole all the art inside this city. I keep watching through the window, and see how a citizen who looks lost is standing still in the middle of the streets, until the army reachs him and the head commander slashs him with an sword and kills him. In this point' I don't know what exactly happened, only that I switched back to FP and then to Kirito's PoV or controlling him in third person a couple of times. After a while, Kirito discovers that the red army wants to kill everyone in the city after they spoil all their art.

I stop watching through Kirito's PoV and I am myself. I am in my grandfathers' house, which in the dream is located in the city being spoiled. I know that there is a PC with the orders of all the army, and if I manage to delete the program that makes them kill everyone, I will save the city. I fin the computer CASUALLY in the middle of my grandfather's corridor. I turn it on and try to delete the program, but I can't find it. Then, Kirito comes and tells me there is another way to stop the army: We can go to Torchlight (The main city of Torchlight... how original btw) and use our characters of Torchlight 2 (this time he is talking about the game itself) to defeat the red army. I agree and he goes. I start thinking how could I get to Torchlight, and decide to ask my mother. My mother (who is CASUALLY in my grandparents' house) says that she can't, and puts a vague excuse. I get angry and decide to find another way to get to Torchlight. I cross a corridor and see that there is a long corridor with a lot of pictures of chicken in the walls. Behind every picture there was a hole, and inside a nest with an egg, just like if the chicken of the pictures were incubating them. The soldiers from the red army were putting the pictures and the eggs in a bag. I continue through the corridor and do something else I don't remember, but then my clock starts ringing in real life and I wake up.

I put it off and try to do a FILD, but I fail and fall asleep normally. Then I dream about a prequel, sequel or, in general, a side story about the previous dream.
I start by being myself from the start, and I start in my grandparents' house again. This time, only my aunt is there with me. I find my note with that feels like if it was out right from the movie SAW telling me to find something. Then, just like a graphic adventure, I find some things in the house that I use to get other things (I don't remember what I exactly do), until I get a mini-crossbow with an arrow, perfectly usable with only one hand. Then, I go out of my house.

The next scene is just like an old game from NES. I can see from above a 8 bit version of a path in the middle of a forest that leads to the wall of a castle with a window in it. Then, an 8 bit version of me or some other one (though I know I am that) comes and stays still a few steps in front of the wall. Then, it takes the crossbow I got before and fires it to the window. The arrow hits someone who was just beyond the window in the middle of the chest and in the neck (Yes, both, I dreamed it hit in the chest and just after that I dreamed it had hit in the neck) and then I got back from where I came. I know that the one I killed was the Commander of the Red army from before, however, I don't know if that happened before or after the previous dream.

After that, I dream something else unrelated (At least I think it was unrelated, because I would have liked to know how the history ended xD) and wake up at 6:00, even though my clock rings at 7:00. I write it down summarized in my DJ and try to sleep again, but I can't.

Well, and that is the dream I got yesterday night. I sometimes have dreams with a plot elaborated like this, but I have never had a dream with so many references, and at this time I don't remember any other with a Side-story, though I get the feeling I have had.

Like yesterday: I apply the MILD technique while I repeat the mantras: "I ​​do a reality test" and "I remember the dream." I fall asleep. I wake up to an hour of the night unknown (maybe 5.30) and I try to remember the dream but I can't. I fall asleep again. I wake up and for the second time since I decided to do it I remember the dream, or rather two!

I'm on the balcony of my house, on the third floor, throwing some objects (perhaps with a makeshift catapult) on the other houses that were in front of me and every time that these objects enter in a chimney a dark smoke emerges from them accompanied by some screams of terror, as if inside the house something burnt. Mindfull of the damage that I was causing I stop it and instead the objects that I was throwing before I put the water balloon with water.

Suddenly I find myself catapulted into another dream.

I'm in areally busy market (such as Asian or North African) full of stalls. With me there is my all my family plus all the uncles and cousins. I realize I have in my hands a heavy bunch of keys. I look at my uncle A. (my favorite because although he is 37 he behaves like an irresponsible teenager), I throw the bunch of key in air and take it back to the flight. He immediately understands the game: he must take it from my hand. We run through the market and follow us between people when suddenly slam against my aunt and my uncle takes from me the bunch of keys

I am very happy with my results: first I didn't remember any dreams and after only 2 days of training I remember already 2!



PS: please, if I didn't write well anything can you tell it me? Thank you

I had i strange time with dreams last night, probably because i was dead tired,
anyway here is the story.

Lucid

Side notes

When i became lucid (I dont remember anything prior) I was running through the woods, running real fast,
after a little bit I came to a opening to the woods, it was a dip in the woods and there was a cave so i ran inside there was a set of obstacles, all of which consisted of jumping on pillars.
After about 2 sets of pillars there was a opening, inside there was a hut with a cottage, it had Kaira's symbol on the side so i think it was my perception of the Dream Army HQ, after that it faded to black and i woke up.


That's about it i don't remember much if anything else.

This dream is a little confusing, since it skipped scenes a lot... So.


I am walking in this 'beast's' lair with some other people. To get to him we have to walk on these stones or something in the lair. But I have this ability where I can wake up before something gets creepy... So, I did. Except this was a FA. I end up in a bedroom, on the ground in a sleeping bag. There are other people there too. It looks like a combo of my and my sister's room from our old house.

That didn't last long, and now I am back in the world with the beast. I am near some people, and this is where I become lucid. For some reason, I know that all of the DC's in this world do the same thing everyday, like it is programmed into them.

Since I am lucid, I decide that I can help that. But I decide to take a box of raisins, and I ask something to this DC (which made me happy since I was getting him out of his rut...). Then, I see this little bit of deep water in the ground. Well, it is more like I am on a pier, so there is a square hole in the pier. The water is a dirty tan color,but I dunk my raisin box into the water anyway. It gills to the top of the box. Now the raisins can grow....

So now, I think, I might as well make a DC army to help kill the beast. I certainly don't want to kill it myself .

The few people I had just saw before are now following me. I am now walking down this large staircase. It is surrounded by glass walls.

Without consciously thinking about it,a bunch of people, my army, are following me. Probably about fifty people. About halfway down the staircase, I am facing this cute guy, so I kiss him, but we are still walking. Now, for some reason, I am wearing my ugly red work polo shirt... And I decide to lift it up, and it is held in between my arms. This has nothing to do with my boobs, BTW (though I am not wearing a bra, I notice, since bras are stupid), I just wanted the cute guy to be interested in my back. It is rather curvy... (My back curves in). So, being that this is a lucid, he of course mentions it. He asks why I have my shirt up, I tell him,and then I know that he is admiring it xD.

So, now the scene has skipped, and we are in the beast's lair. It is dark, of course. I know the room is rather big, but we are all only in one part of the lair. The beast is standing at the side, surrounded by my fighters. It is like he is in a section that no one can pass, even him... Like, it is a slightly darker color in the floor or something?

Since I don't play video games, the beast looks very unimaginative. Instead of looking like a hairy beast or something, he is just a big man. Like, a linebacker or something.

Someone tries to shoot awith gun at him, but misses. The 'bullet' i see on the ground on the point of no return. It has two parts to it, whcih I can't really desribe. But it doesnt look like a bullet xD. I 'know' that the bullet has already been shot so it wouldn't worm again. But, i give it to the man with the gun anyway. I told him that I know this usually wouldn't work again, but since I am dreaming, I will.

Before anything ekse happens, I wake up but it is a FA. While I have been beginning to do Rc's again, I didn't. Which makes sense. I woke up in the lair, but I 'know' that it is a different place. My head had been resting on this table. It was a really long wooden table, kinda renascenceish looking. There were other people sitting on the table too. Like a dozen. I wanted to keep my eyes closed (which I obviosuly didn't do, but I thought I did), because I wanted to DEiLD. Yeah, I thought to DEIlD even in a dream xD.

But I couldn't, because this annoying woman was pestering me that I owed her five dollars from an overdue rental video. I pay her, and I see the two black people that I did initially in my last dream (I think it was supposed to be a third world place. Blame sociology for making mw feel so bad for them..). Another woman said she was going to give them a job, bringing them ti her home or something. I said, you can't make them slaves! But apparently she was going to pay them good money. (There is my idealist self, I suppose!). And then I woke up.

I couldn't resist coming back just to post this quick little entry. Number 100!!

Catch Me If You Can [DILD]

I didn't make too much of an effort to remember the pre-lucid part of this dream, but what I do recall is that I was looking at multiple crazy new colleges with my old high school friend N, and he was interested in one specifically where there was this big paintball arena. Actually, I think he went from wanting to be in it to actually already being enrolled there, because he got to go into the arena while I had to wait outside (not that I had any burning desire to play paintball). However, around this time I became lucid and decided to see what the arena was like. All I knew of it so far was that it was totally inside and just set up like a maze with tall walls you couldn't see over that you had to find your way around in, and it was totally inside but there was plenty of lighting since the ceiling was still far above the walls. I started moving forward to phase through the wall into the arena and I was reminded of a discussion I've been in recently. I noticed that I was vividly aware of the solidity of the wall in front of me, but I was still able to drop that awareness willingly and pass through it without any trouble. As I did so, as opposed to normal how my perception just kind of blips, the entire wall was slowly decomposed into lines that disappeared as I fully got from one side to the other, and it was actually really cool, there were even little sound effects for it. This whole situation made me think back to this hacked character my cousin and I created on Super Smash Bros. Melee years ago, with a code that made it so that by pressing different button combinations you could activate or deactivate the collision detection for any map, and in combination with an infinite jumps code (to prevent you from just falling straight through the map to your death) you could basically hide in certain parts of the map until someone came by and you would jump out to attack them. I started acting off of the same concept in the dream. I would phase into a wall and wait there until a paintballer or two came by and then I would come out when they weren't looking and confuse them by running off and then phasing into another wall before they caught me. I was just having fun messing with them, but I allowed myself to stand totally still in one of the walls for too long and the dream sort of phased out and I lost lucidity. The dream briefly restabilized with me parked on the side of the rode somewhere with my car acting really weird and uncontrollable. I can't remember exactly all what went down, just that I got out of the car to look at it and suddenly realized that I was naked, and then I saw that there was another car full of people parked nearby who could just see me standing there totally clueless and I felt embarrassed. And I think that's the last thing that happened before I woke up.

And that's that.
