December 2012 TOTM
Advanced Task ii - COMPLETED!



Method: V-WILD

I was standing in the middle of an icy, frozen tundra. Nobody was around me. I could fill the chill of the air all over my body. The sky was a vivid gray. It was glowing and seemed to light everything around me. This scene was so vivid, I almost forgot I was dreaming. I stood there staring at everything in awe for a good minute before I remembered what I wanted to do. The Task of the Month. Find the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Future and experience what they have to show you.

"Show me the ghost of Christmas's Past." I said.

Fog shot across the tundra, rolling rapidly toward my feet. A woman appeared next to me. She had a long, white dress that flowed into the breeze. Her eyes were a stunning violet.



"Are you the Ghost of Christmas Past?"
"No. I am simply here to summon him."

She pulls this HUGE black cauldron out of her small pocket and climbs inside. I hear a sizzling sound coming from it and I looked inside. She pulls me in and I am suddenly standing inside of my old house in California. There is a big Christmas tree in the middle of the room. My parents are standing off to one side, my brother + sister on another, and baby me is in the middle. I look happier than the happiest person on Earth. I don't look entirely the same like I did back then, my face is a little deformed. The lady seems to be gone and next to me is this green ball of energy. I assumed that this was the Ghost of Christmas Past.

The current gift baby-me is opening is glowing. The top explodes and out of nowhere comes my old friends from California.

"HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY!"

The tree is gone but the presents remain. Baby-me is way more distorted now. If I remember correctly, I had three legs. My parents look up and glare at the current me. They mumbled words that I could not understand. Baby-me was acting possessed and the whole dream was turning into a crazy nightmare. I ripped a hole in the air and teleported myself back to the tundra.

The lady was staring at me. She did not say a word. Two dots appeared on her forehead. She told me to touch them. Her skin was ice cold. I was standing in my best friend's house. She was crying and her mom was yelling at her telling her how ugly she was. Her mom was obviously drunk and was forcing her own insecurities on my best friend. This time a blue ball of energy was next to me. It told me that I had the power to change what was going on. I told my best friend I would take her to her dream cruise in the Bahama's. I touched her arm and we teleported on this cruise ship. In front of us was a big pool and waterslide. Everyone looked like they were having a great time. My best friend looked much happier now.

The blue ball of energy shaped itself into a chair. It mentally told me to sit on it. I did and I was blasted into the water. In front of me was a door. When I entered it I found myself in a dark room stacked with boxes. Each box was marked 'choice'. I opened one and There was a stack of candy canes in it. In another, watermelons. They were all different types of food but didn't seem to have any real significance.

I found ice skates laying off to the side and swam back to the cruise ship. I was at the very top of the ship and made the whole ocean freeze. I summoned a box of ice skates and told everyone there would be an ice skating contest. I probably jumped 100 feet off the ship onto the ice and started ice skating. XD. I noticed one person was literally using two other people as ice skates. The Ghost of the Present was ice skating. After a few minutes of this I teleported myself back to the tundra.

A helicopter was waiting for me. Inside was a red ball of energy with a glowing yellow center. We took off and the pilot handed me a backback with a string coming out the side. He told me it was a parachute. We were skydiving! I looked over the edge. We were right above New York City. The helicopter was about as tall as the Empire State Building. I jumped out and felt like a leaf blowing through the wind. It wasn't a fast fall but a slow and gentle one. I landed on the roof of a hospital.

Someone who looked pretty similar to me was standing in front of me. He told me to follow him. He led me to an Operating Room and I watched him do an open heart surgery on a baby boy. The heart looked extremely realistic. This was my dream job. After what seemed like 5 or 10 minutes the red ball of energy nudged me and I was taken back to the tundra.

The lady looked at me and touched my face. I was on the moon, I think. My grave was in front of me. There were no words on it I could understand. They were all blurry. Out of nowhere I was thrown to the ground and as I looked up the lady was driving full speed at me with a go kart. What the hell?



I got in it with her and I started driving. She was earthbending the moon and made a big ramp for me to dive off of. I could see Saturn in the distance and jumped from the moon to it. The kart started to fall REALLY fast and everything got super blurry until I woke up.

12/20/2011 4:30AM

I was at home about to sleep when Sharif and his family arrived unexpectedly. I got up and greeted Hana first and then went to greet Sharif on the deck. Then I saw something bizarre; I found Suzanne lying on the floor with a mullet crying. At this point I realized I was dreaming because the scene in front of me had no other explanation. As soon as I realized I was dreaming my entire family slowly faded away and I was the only one inside the house. I was so excited I decided I wanted to run through a wall with force. when I tried I found all of the walls were elastic like a rubber band but could be passed through like a bubble. After a few brute attempts I decided to strategize a bit and grabbed the wall and pulled it back as far as I could and then I let loose and it flinged me through the wall very slowly, it felt like I was moving through a thick layer of molasses. When I finally got to the other side I found a strange combination of ocean and space. I had the sensation of being underwater but the view of planets and stars. The view was so beautiful, and I was so happy because one of my goals in lucid dreaming was to experience space. When I thought it couldn’t get stranger I saw a large spherical object spinning with blue and white lights flashing on its band moving rapidly in my direction then my brother sneezed very loudly and abruptly ruined the dream.... Oh well it was nice while it lasted.

I was in the kitchen, a bunch of friends, I was standing next to my brother. All the girls started into a convo, all off a sudden i ended up sitting on the counter with my brother besides me smoking. All of a sudden i look over and see this HUGE spider..im talking bigger then my foot. I started freaking out but no one around me was. The spider was across the room on the floor, staring at me with theses huge anime eyes, just staring. It was like it was trying to read my mind, the eyes seemed to have gotten bigger. my brother finished his cigarettes and then went to light a new one and it sparked like a sparkler and the spider just seemed to jump to life and run for the smoke ( im sitting next to him). The spiders eyes are getting bigger, my brother dousent seem to notice, its at the bottom of the cabinet trying to climb up i start screaming, i hate spiders and im trying to get away but i cant. I suddenly dont see the spider but i know its climbing across the wall to the back to get me and i just keep screaming. After that i only have a bunch of images of it crawling and im screaming, then i wake up.

My dream startes off at home, im in my bedroom when i hear something crash and what it hears like people running around in the hall way. I go out and i see people, a group of them just removing things, furniture anything they could really get their hands on. My mom was no where to be found, the glass from the living room window was gone and they where tossing the furniture out and it just disappeared, it was all my fathers stuff. I kept trying to fight them off, i couldn't get a hold of my brother. they started going through my room. My window disappeared and i was screaming at them and one of them broke my fish tank ( I love my fish) . So i got really upset and pulled out my blade and stabbed one of them, then i began slashing and slicing at people making them bleed. I was screaming for my dad, calling him names and stuff and he appeared out of no where, behind him was a classic 1950s family...wide smiling faces, too perky for their own good and he kept telling me to go with him, to come be happy with them. I gave a real wolf like face, growling and got into a fighting stance with both of my favorite knifes in both hands and i told him, i am who i am and he can never change me, that happy family isent who i am and never will be. I could tell i was dreaming because of how the windows and furniture disappeared and no matter how many people i stabbed, they kept coming back. So i knew i was dreaming..but i cudnt control it.

I have many reoccurring dreams most are not upsetting or frightening in all honesty i haven't had a nightmare in years

So here are a few of them and if anyone has had a similar experience i would be interested to know

1. Entering the Dream
So it stats with a falling experience trough black space then i start to see im falling trough corrugated black ventilation pipes i hit a marble floor with the pipes just above my head about half a meter above the floor i look in front and i see a friendly cyborg type character who is connecting wires to a type of switchboard then i look to my left and there is the bottom of a doorway i crawl through into a room that is very bright with plants everywhere sometimes there is a small pond in the room sometimes not on the right is a console that looks like it has grown out of the ground sometimes there is a being there sometimes not at the other end of the room is small doorway
i open the door and enter the last room this room is dark green like a living room very much like the room in the red pill blue pill bit in the matrix(i had this dream long before that movie came out so i doubt it was a influence) there are 2 leather chairs in the room and some small picture frames i look at the leather chairs and slowly i relise there not chairs but contorted body parts made into chairs at this point i want to leave and i go through the last door and then my dream starts i have this most nights im able to wake naturally.

2. The Sewer
This one can change alot but there are 3 things that stay the same each time
normally i start with a group of friends we go to explore a old railway tunnel at the bottom of this wooded area the tunnel is dark and dirty as we investigate the tunnel we find it moves off into other passageways at some point we get split up i eventually endup at a dead end deep underground in this sewer type system there is a drain hole in the ground now every other time i have entered the drain hole looking for my friend only last night i knew if i went in i would not find my friend and was not going that way anymore instead a new doorway appeared and i changed my direction and found my friend at a cave on the surface on the beach


the 3 things that are always the same are the friend the tunnel and the small drain
the thing about my friend is she never looks the same but i always know its her she pops up in a lot of my dreams and we play together in the dream i only joined this site in order to find out if anyone was shearing the dream with me

During the night of 12\4\12 i did not recall any dreams but i attempted to fuse the wake back to bed technique with the Wake induced lucid dreaming technque that next morning when i woke up. My dad was playing the guitar in the backround and that was what hepled keep me concious. After about twenty minutes of laying still, I entered sleep paralysis. I thought it was so cool, but it got so intense it scared me right out of it and i did not attempt after it to go back into the sleep paralysis. Next time im that close though i know now how to move right back into the paralysis state and hopefully i will sucsessfully enter a lucid dream after that point.

This is during the end of the dream. My name in there was "GG". They were my initial for my dream name. Anyways, I'm in this room with christina i think. We're worrying about this girl (who's about my age btw). Theres this other girl who is after us because we wont her have the girl my age. So christina and i are talking about her ability. It's the piwer to fit inside any form of space. It can be a box, a drawer, any form of space. This was a really serious matter because the evil girl was really out to get me. She has this grudge against me for taking the girl my age away from her. While me and christina are talking, my phone rings. It's the girl around my age. The 1st thing she says is "when you get home, we're gonna have mad sex...." (she said alot more specifying that one topic) i started to chuckle a little and told christina to listen to what she's saying. Christina actually says something to her. I take my phone from christina and then i try to make an excuse. No need though, she made one for me. She gigles a littlesaid "that must be your mom, right?" I just went along with it even though i know it was christina. The dream ends from fades away.

Something freaky happened though. I woke up (in real life) to my phone ringing. I wasnt going to answer it but decided last second to answer it. It stopped ringing the moment i got my hands on it. I checked and saw who called me. It was my mom. O_O. I didnt realize the connection until i started writing this dream.

I had been sent a few years into the past, into the body of my younger self, by unknown means. I was completely ecstatic that I'd know everything that was going to happen and determined to milk the situation to the very last drop. So I wasn't very subtle about my newfound advantage, and went around laughing, joking, and speculating a lot, feeling very free and confident.

Then I was with a bunch of people when I saw a black car, parked quite out of place, and instinctively recognised it as the car of a Japanese cosmetics tycoon. I basically thought making fun of him would be a great idea, but of course, it would have to be a proper battle of wits. A listing of rhymes and patterns of speech popped out in my head, some of them quite awful ('cake' with 'shake', what does that have to do with anything?) and then a whole poetic monologue which the people with me delivered to him. ('Dear sir, something something something.') He didn't say much back, I don't think I even saw him through the car windows.

A strange thought came into my head, 'I really like this dream'. Then, 'Oh, of course, it's a dream, not real.' It did confuse me for a bit, sort of disappointed it would end soon, but I thought about all that dream stuff you hear about and how you could do it now. The dream collapsed soon after though.

Things like this about time travel have been floating in my head a lot recently, and it's these sorts of stray thoughts that end up in my dreams a lot. I think the idea of a cosmetics tycoon is suggestion from a sketch I watched, and some of the listing rhetorical stuff in my head while talking to him probably came from a small passage in a newspaper about dancing, somehow.

I laid down to WILD and waited. I found myself nodding off but caught myself and continued. I saw mostly nothing, but after a while an image started to come into view. I saw an ice cream parlor, with a checkerboard theme and pink neon lights. There was a girl behind the counter but I couldn't see her face. I was kind of there, in the scene, but at the same time I wasn't, it's a hard feeling to describe. By now I was feeling really intense vibrations, and I was beginning to almost materialize there. I took a few steps, and it actually felt like walking, as realistic as it gets. Then I turned and started running parallel to the bar and the scene was fading, I was in some kind of tunnel of white light. I kept running faster and faster until I jumped up and lost the feeling of the ground under me. I thought I needed to actually enter the dream or something, hoping to break free from my physical body so, so I kept going, but I was suddenly jolted awake.

I'm confused, was I already in the dream? I felt like I was still partially in my physical body. I hear that you should roll over or try to get up out of it, should I have done that? But what a rush, though!

Non-lucid: grey
lucid: blue

The first thing that I remember is that I was going with my family to Bejaia (a coastal city). Our car was different as it had 7 seats instead of 5. I sat in the middle. The car started to move to our destination. I just enjoyed seeing the different landscapes that we passed by as the car was moving on the road. The sun started to raise when we left our hometown.

I can't remember exactly but I think a lot of time passed before we saw another city. I saw a building that can only be seen in setif (another city). I yelled: We're only in setif! This trip is taking so much time! My dad turned and told me: Don't worry we're almost there. I calmed a bit.

memory gap

I was running. I believe it was night time. I bare feet and I could feel the grass whenever one of my feet hit the the ground. Then I remembered, and said to my self: didn't I just went to bed? I already knew I was dreaming but I confirmed it with a nose plug RC. As soon as I felt the air rush through my closed nostrils the scene completely changed. I was in what seemed to be an airport. looking to a city covered with mist. Later on I knew that city was Jakarta

Spoiler for Jakatra :

Fascinated by the view as I'm a third world country inhabitant. Living in a small town. I didn't saw much skyscrapers in my life. So I just walked slowly enjoying the view. Little kids playing soccer there and some advertisement boards over there. Grown grass on both sides of the road that I was walking on. I then decided when I reached the skyscrapers that I should set a goal. I tried to remember the TOTM and I remembered something about snow. Oh yea I have to make it snow, I said to myself. I thought of just asking for snow but that seemed boring. After a few moments I decided what to do. I clapped my hands pointing them to the sky. A huge shock wave was the result of my clapping. that shock wave headed straight upwards and into the white clouds. I expected grey clouds to gather and that's what happened, and then it simply started to snow.
I then -happy with my results- decided to just do random stuff (which was the thing that made me lose lucidity) I remember jumping very high then falling and then waking up.

I woke up in my grandparents's house. I searched for my DJ to write my dream but couldn't find it. I then woke up for real.

11-19-2012 -- Can't remember the earlier bits of this, but there was a lot more before this. By the point I can barely start remembering things, I think I am in a swimming pool, half swimming, half just having fun. At first I think I'm Harry Potter, swimming with Hermione as a form of training, but as it continues, it becomes much more a military thing, swimming laps. At first we were almost alone, but moment by moment there are more people here, and soon I have just one tiny 'lane' in which to swim, surrounded by other people who are annoyed at me and think I'm in the way.

Soon I find myself running across a large city (or even world) that somehow feels very like Runescape, even if it doesn't look much like it. It almost seems like I am running through a game world, looking for portals that lead to where I want to go. The third one leads to a section of the world that is very Polynesian, a very definite tropical island theme, that feels like a cross between Ape Atoll and something out of the Polynesian Resort at Disney World. I've gone there to confront some game characters or something, and I think I have finished what I need to do, so I have been leaving that area again. I soon find myself on a paddle wheeler such as the Mark Twain, and am on the middle deck, surrounded by a bunch of Polynesian dancers who are chanting and waving torches around in some sort of ritual.

I am on my knees trying to start a fire with a bit of flint, using a bit of root that somehow seems kind of connected to an instrument being played by one of the dancers as kindling, but I'm not managing to get very far. I finally manage to catch a tiny spark, and try to gently blow it into a flame, but it almost immediately goes out, so I have to try again ... and again. It very much feels like some sort of odd Runescape quest, and suddenly I find Dave DuFour is next to me, trying to help me. He isn't very impressed with me, and thinks I'm not supposed to be a part of this ritual, and I am getting it completely wrong. He's helping me gather together six ingredients, including a couple of potions, and trying to get us set up for the right ritual. But as the chanting and dancing and fire juggling goes on, discover he isn't supposed to be a part of the ritual, either ... though he is closer than I am. We finally just drink our Gnome-style fruit drinks, and watch the dancers do their ritual.

Soon the Mark Twain has turned to a cross between a barge, a train, and walking along the street, and we are passing several of the portals we previously travelled through. I find myself talking with Veronica (Aj) while passing a building with lots of little storage cubbyholes that somehow contain (among other things) the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria. There's also a hint of lots of other old things, though many may be petrified. I start to climb around the building, which is turning into more of an old church. I'm crawling through old wooden passageways, and somehow I break something.

I then glance up at an alter above me, and staring down at me is this horrible creature. It seems like a cross between a Fembot (Bionic Woman), and one of the clockwork figures from the Doctor Who story The Girl in the Fireplace, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. The voice is a sort of a cross between a Cyberman, a Dalek, and Davros, except somehow female. The thing is staring down at me, threatening me, and its hand drops away like an Auton. But instead of firing some sort of laser, it is trying to drip some sort of slimy green gunk on me. I dodge out of the way and start running. She continues chasing me, occasionally squirting the green slime at me, but thankfully whatever she is, she isn't very fast, so I can put some distance between us.

I soon find myself running around the upper floors of the ancient church, along with Hermione, the Doctor, and more characters from the Harry Potter books, except we're all little kids, around the ages of four or five, including the Doctor. We end up hiding in a nursery for a while, and eventually come to the conclusion we need to find some way to face this thing. So we return lower in the building, which is now a cross between a large church and a huge library, with book shelves all over the place on multiple levels. We find ourselves swinging between levels on ropes, while the robot thing is still chasing us, squirting stuff at us, but its getting less scary and more adventurous.

[Can't remember any details, and it might not be a real past dream, but by the end it was feeling like it tied back into another dream from a year or two ago that involved chasing through a huge library-like house fighting something, but without the Harry Potter or Doctor Who characters.]

11-19-2012 -- I'm walking in to Ron Dockery's house (past roommate) and he's in the living room with a large bowl-like cup he's mixing stuff in. He has me adding some carbonated soda to the mixture, possibly while passing it through an electrical current. It's filling up right to edge of the bowl, and he thinks it is going to blow, but so far, at least, it doesn't. Can't remember why or how, but there is a sense of Runescape at this point. I pour a little more soda in, and at this point the mixure is bowing just slightly above the top of the bowl, still held in place by surface tension, yet slightly quivering from all the energy contained. At this point we're really surprised it hasn't blown, yet.

Soon a friend of Ron's walks in. He's hoping she is eventually going to be his girlfriend, and it seems the chances are good. She turns out to be Shirley Feeney from Laverne and Shirley. The house is a large one, and for some reason there are lots of kids living here. It is past bed time, which means it is required that all the kids are in their bedrooms. It is up to them, however, if they ever bother to actually sleep or not. By this point we're upstairs in a sort of den-like room, and I am around a corner from Ron and Shirley. I am pretty sure they have a quickie while I am around the corner, and for some reason I am trying to spy on them.

But soon there's no chance of that, because the kids are everywhere, and not in their rooms as they are supposed to be. It turns out there are so many kids around because Shirley watches them for the government, who kidnaps them from their parents. It turns out they have weird, detailed dreams, and for some reason these dreams are considered evil, so they are held here. This is really scaring me, because the kinds of dreams and the details of what are considered evil about them actually match up pretty closely with the kinds of dreams I have. Shirley tries to explain to me that it is OK for me as a middle-aged man to have dreams about sex, or even for a teenager, but there is something wrong when kids who are four or five are having the same kinds of dreams, and while I am still very nervous about it all, I can admit there may be something to that.

I'm not sure how the shift occurs, since I ran out of room on the paper to write more down, but in some way connected to all this government kidnapping and dream-related stuff, I soon find myself floating above a circular lake that seems very reminiscent of the avatar fountain in the Runescape clan citadels. I'm just kind of floating there drifting like one of the avatars, except I am myself, and the large circular lake is surrounded by huge skyscraper-like buildings on all sides. I'm hoarse, and have my voice problem, but I am somehow projecting my voice all around the city, anyway.

I explain that I have both the right and the power to do so, so I have claimed the throne of the city and named myself ruler. Nobody likes this, and people are starting to shout out complaints about this, but I don't really care. On the shore to the northeast is a figure that seems to be out of the movie Tron, with his suit glowing with light, except it is in green, instead of blue. He fires some sort of ray gun at me, but I block the green burst of laser fire with my hand. Unlike what it should do, it doesn't hurt me or assimilate me, or put me under his control or anything ... he simply doesn't have enough power to do anything to me. I'm powerful enough to back up my claim.

Soon I walk in to the city, heading east. I soon find myself in curved hallways that remind me of a space station like B5 or DS9, and the look is kind of going animated, half between regular animation and computer animation. I find myself facing an old soldier with short-cropped whitish-silver hair. His uniform is all in pink (as opposed to the green of the guy earlier) and I think it is nothing more than a different color to represent a different team. His body shape looks exactly like the old guy from Pixar's Up. He makes to attack me, and I first warn him, then take his gun away from him, and he's rather bummed that he can't take me. By this point, it has a strong feeling of a sort of Wreck-It Ralph feel to everything, like a cross-over world between lots of forms of animation and lots of video games.

Soon I find myself driving out of the city in a very wild cartoon fashion, as well as in a very wild cartoon vehicle. Strong hints of the Roger Rabbit paddy wagon vehicle the weasels drove in the movie, except I'm driving it, instead. I'm flashing down a tunnel, and one opponent who seems kind of Plasticman or Mr Fantastic-like has spread across the entire tunnel, but I plow right through him. Others are on the roof of the tunnel, trying to drop on my vehicle as I pass, but they get the timing wrong. A couple drop too soon, and have to dive out of the way of my vehicle. The rest wait too long, and hit the road behind me (pancaking), having to dive out of the way of other traffic following.

As we make it out of the tunnel, and into a more open area, I am swerving all over the place like a crazy man, and like in a cartoon, the road is shifting under me, flying out to the sides, and bunching up under the force of my tires. I'm now running down a hillside that feels like it is from the movie Nightmare Before Christmas, leaving Halloweentown and approaching another world. My car that has been very pumpkin-themed, and has half been being driven by a pumpkin figure is now shifting, and all the Halloween decor is trying to fly off in all directions as the theme changes. I'm not willing to let it go, so I grab the pumpkin / driver figure and hold on to him. I manage to keep hold of him, but he changes, and is now a bobblehead Einstein figure, instead, but he's still driving for me.

We're now in a lego car, driving through a massive lego city like the kind they build in the various Legoland parks, and I ask him if he'll continue to drive for me. He asks me why, and I try to tell him, but somehow I find I just can't get the words out. Something is constraining me, not letting me explain. I try to force the words out, and it is something about I have to rescue my lady love, whatever world they happen to be holding her in. I'm pretty sure he agrees to help. We're tiny figures in this huge Lego city, but it is all built on a huge table in this room with small offices lining the walls, and as we are talking and driving at high speed, one of the office doors opens, and the Shirley Feeney character walks out, thousands of times bigger than me, since I'm now the size of a Lego figure.

Went to sleep about 1:45am after watching some videos on DILD techniques and reading some wikis.

Dreamt I got stabbed in the throat by this like female assassin/ninja with a really thin slightly curved blade. For some reason I wasn't scared or in pain I must have known it was just a dream.

Dreamt I was in this band a mix of guys & girls. Wasn't clear who played what though. We had a gig somewhere & we were hanging out under this canal bridge & had left some shoes & stuff there. Drove to the gig but I'd left something important under the bridge & had to go back alone to get it as they wouldn't let me in even though I said I was with the band.
I was worried about going under this bridge in view of some chavs hanging out near by as they looked like trouble so I sort of snook down there & got what I needed & went back. Unfortunately it was too late & the gig must have been cancelled & the band descended into chaos with some of the girls smoking crack! Can't remember much else.

Woke about 6:30am to turn heating off then fell back asleep

After all this unpleasantness the dreams ended on a positive with me being with this girl getting Ice-cream from somewhere. She was getting strawberry & I decided on apple even though I'm sure they don't do apple ice cream, but they should! The lady serving us poured some apple sauce over my ice cream so goes to show ice cream makes everything better even in dreams!

Woke up normally about 10:30am

The dream starts with me floating above my house. It's not really my body floating, I just see everything from that perspective. I can see through the ceiling of my house and see all the individual rooms divided by the walls. I see the rest of my family, my mom and dad are in their closet getting dressed with formal black clothes. I also see my sisters and they're in their room also formally dressed. Everyone seems to be sad or depressed but I don't know why, nor do I know what's going on. My dad tells my mom that he is going to get the car ready, after he leaves my mom comes into my sister's room and tells them; "Come on, we have to go. We don't want to be late for your brother's funeral." That's when I realize that I'm dead and I'm seeing everything as a ghost. I wake up nearly in tears.

As I'm on lesson 2 in the Orphelia's class in the Dream Academy I've been trying some of the DILD techniques I've read about so thought it would be worth saying what I'd tried before I went to sleep. On this occasion I started visualising colours starting with yellow then thinking about different yellow things like bananas & the sun etc. Then I visualised green and different green objects like vegetables, grass, lizards etc this was quite a calming mantra like thing to do to stimulate my imagination ready for the dreamworld.

Went to sleep about 1:30am

Couple of dreams in one this, can't recall much but am going to start putting whatever I can recall from my dreams even if it's not much.
I was at a house with an old friend who's been in the previous dream I had about the Jaguar (maybe he's becoming a dream sign?). Also there was my old female manager from a temp' job I did plus another unknown woman & various other unknowns. We were having some kind of dinner party but the unknown woman was going round giving oral sex to the guys including me then she went to do my friend & my old manager stepped in saying she was going to 'show her how it's done!' And she bent down to do it showing off her amazing figure in the process.

Woke briefly at about 6am, fell back asleep

I definitely was aroused by this & when I woke up around 6am to the sound of the radiator filling with water I was in a state of morning glory The rest of the dream involved us being around a dinner table and the manager woman (who I kind of fancy in real life & sometimes communicate with still on facebook), was serving us all these mini pizzas & I'd requested mine with bits of bacon on it & was being asked by another guy there what it was called to which I replied 'pizza della bacon'!

When I fell back asleep after being half woken by the radiator, I then dreamt I was in Ireland (somewhere I've never been) in some shit-hole of a house with two lads I didn't recognise from reality. Can't remember much here except thinking they were very stupid and when I asked to go to the toilet I nearly fought the guy because he wanted me to use this horrible standing up toilet which was just a drain in the ground! I can't remember much else about this part of the dream although I know there was more, maybe it will come to me in the day if so I'll edit this entry accordingly.

Woke up properly about 9:20am
