      2/27/12 Monday

      I'm on bus in NY. I look at a piece of paper in my pocket and it says I need to get off at Bonhomme & Claire. I ask people around me to help me and tell me where the place is, but they have rude comments and some of them laughed at me.
      WBTB 6:45 - 7:15am
      WILD#12
      As I'm falling asleep, I feel getting closer and I say UP. I feel separation and I appear in hallway outside mom's bedroom on RD. I remembered my phone call with mom, asking her if i can come and visit her astrally. She said yes and I promised, I'll be only in the kitchen/her room area and not anywhere else, so I don't scare her.
      It's bright and I quickly start walking towards the kitchen. On my way I glance in the bedroom and see my mom sitting up on the bed. I quickly move to the front door as not to scare her. She comes out, hair all messed up and she is very surprised to see me. She says "you are here". We hug. I also hug with my dad.

    2. Dream Journal - Debigas

      by , 03-02-2012 at 02:00 PM (How i lost my pants)
      03/01/2012 - 23:57 PM


      I'ts really hot in my room, the air is thick and sweating is just a natural consequence of being in there. Curiously, i cant sleep so well, probably im too tired to try.

      First, i keep repeating those mantric words in my head: "i will wake up after every dream", just to focus my mind in what sould i do.

      Honestly, i didn't knew what the f*** i was trying to do. Though, it was a WILD.


      03/02/2012 - ??:?? AM


      I'm not sweating,
      but it itches everywhere as my patience goes down the sink.
      It is a REAL mess, like i'm already laid down for a half hour straight and a tiny-weenie fly shatters all my hard work.

      After three consecutive failures, i change my position and promise myself i will do a reality check in my dream.

      ---A little perspective of the Dream---

      There is this...Gap. I can't tell precisely where i did the RC, but i did; Yet the dream was the most unstable thing i've ever dreamed of, perhaps the cause was the combination of hours in front of the PC, plus the tiredness and the fact that i woke up late for work and couldn't write anything down in my physical journal.
      I swear i tried to write it down, but it was just a waste, i was in hurry and "relax and remember" were a joke at the moment.

      Now, to the mistery, what was going on...My dream

      ---Inside the Dream---

      ~It came to life.

      A gigantic-big-as-hell-mostruous-gigantic train.

      The railroad, was made of Jacarandá and Gold
      My friend Roberta and i was inside the room.
      The day is bright, the sky is blue, yet in her eyes i can see the insecurity of this situation.
      As always, she wants sex. Nothing personal, i'm a love deity in this world after all.
      I look at my fingers, they are blurry.
      "Maybe i'm a little drunk, thats all"
      Theres a big clock in the room. It's past 5.
      Theres a big sun in the sky. It's 1 PM.
      "Oh" i said.
      Theres a big clock in the room. It's 1 o'clock
      The sun vanished. The world is in full darkness.
      That was just me, trying my powers. Now that im almighty.
      The train now is a castle, there is lots and lots and lots of masonic symbolism.
      There is another girl, Glenda. I rush to take her
      ....
      ....
      ....
      ....

      03/02/2012 - 07:26 AM

      Mom: "You are late"

      My dream was lost.Forever.

    3. The great flood of dream bay

      Dream.Lucid.Comments/awake

      I was watching a movie, which was like The Exorcist. But saw something weird about this, and there I go I'm lucid. Did noseplug RC and it worked. So I hanged around my house for a while, doing nothing special. Suddenly the dream scene changed to a forest near a bay. If you have played Spore, it was a Spore like forest. So I walked towards a desert, which was near a city. On the end of the forest, I suddenly got an idea: A flood. So I faced towards the sea, imagining there would be a huge wave. A wave came, but I wasn't impressed, it wasn't big enough!!! This time it might have gotten a little out of control. A wave started forming, but it didn't move forward. The huge wave just kept getting bigger!!! It started forming a dome over the area. But half over the area, I panicked and the huge halfdome of water came crashing down from the sky. I covered my head, then a big splash of refreshing water hit me. After I opened my eyes the whole place was underwater. Started climbing a tree and doing some puzzle, suddenly woke up.

      One of the best lucids I've had.

    4. Finding Alyzarin's Garden, False Awakenings, School with setting of a Mall

      by , 03-01-2012 at 01:42 PM (Linkzelda's Dream Journal)
      03.01.2012
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Dream 1: Finding Alyzarin's Garden, False Awakenings, School with setting of a Mall(WILD)
      I woke up after 3-4 hours of sleep, went on Dream Views to see some things for a while, convinced myself that I will meet the location for me and Alyzarin to interact with one another in our shared dreaming.

      I intended to just do a MILD with a visualization of our location that we picked, but I ended up doing a WILD instead. I was laying in bed for a while, counting in my head, thinking that everything was taking too long, but it all happened within an hour.

      I keep laying down, saying that I will become lucid, and decided to lose consciousness like in Spyguy's guide on retaining consciousness and losing it, while knowing that you already have the awareness, and that you are willing to give it up. So thanks a lot on the tip Spyguy! This really helped! I actually told myself silent that I would lose consciousness for a while, and go back to remembering to do a MILD that ended up being a WILD

      This dream mostly consisted of False Awakenenings, and the last one, I thought was real because I felt I couldn't breathe through my nose when I did an RC, and the ones before, I had to double check.

      Again, I was fooled by my mind because I really thought it was the end lol when I opened my apartment door to check outside. But damn, this thing is getting REALLY easy to do now. After rolling back and forth on the bed for a while to find a good position, I finally got that "pull" sensation in a WILD combined with random images.

      Anyway, I lay down and toss and turn for a while, and after doing that, I leaned my head to the left sleeping, and I started to
      see random images flash, and I see a speedometer that has a green aura to it, and it is rapidly increase, I remain calm and let the images come to me while seeing this speedometer.

      one question. one answer.-speedometerledpics003a.jpg

      Then the vibrations started to stop, and I'm still laying in bed.
      Then I asked if I am dreaming while keeping my eyes closed.

      I do a nose plug RC to check if I can still breathe, and become lucid. I am being very careful at this point, keeping my eyes closed and just feeling myself walk. Then I'm convinced that I'm really dreaming, but I still keep my eyes closed a little bit.

      I tried to put my hands out, in hopes that I could see Alyzarin's energy in front of me. From what I remembered before opening my eyes, I saw a red and orange type of energy, I felt like something was forming, but my eyes opened.

      I do a few nose plug RCs, and then I go near this door in my altered apartment complex. I tell myself that before I open this door, I believe I said that I will meet at the garden that me and Alyzarin planned to meet. I really convince myself that this will happen because of personal reasons that me and Alyzarin have.


      I open the door quickly without hesitation, and I put my feet on some blue painted ground I believe. It looks like it's probably around 10 AM or close to noon in this dream, even though I had this dream around 4AM-5:15 AM or so.

      There's this huge backyard, it is mostly just grass. There are brown fences that border it, and a few plots of plants on the sides of the backyard.

      one question. one answer.-backyard2.jpg

      I'm still quite in a rush here, and then I see someone on the other side of the long and brown picket fence, and it looks like it's an older lady.

      I forgot what exactly I asked her, but she said something related to Alyzarin most likely since my mentality in this dream is shifted towards her, so I just let the feelings operate without question. The words that I could pick up from this older female DC on the other side was talking about Alyzarin's mother and father.

      I believe she said that Alyzarin's father wouldn't mind if me and her met, but her mother would be concerned.

      To me, this was funny, since I usually think that the father would be more overprotective of their daughters and mothers would be overprotective of their sons, but I didn't let the thought linger in my mind for too long, it was just something natural in me that occurred less than a nanosecond.

      I turn my back to the door again, and I swore I saw a black and white cat somewhere looking at me passively, it was just sitting very comfortably with it's legs spread open while leaning on its side somewhere, probably on a table or eye-level since I didn't really look down much in this dream.



      It also looked like it was going to sleep, or maybe it was just being aware of my presence. I think it was just being chilled and everything, and looking at me just to make sure I wouldn't make a sudden move at it.
      (I find that behavior a lot in cats, can't really describe it, it's like they try to look chilled and relax, but are ready to get the heck out when something rapid happens that scares them).

      I'm still barely inside this room when I turn back to the open door again. I think I saw some Rice Krispies on a table somewhere for a while before having the dream fade out on me.



      I'm somewhere, I don't know where the hell I am, but I think I woke up again somewhere, so another false awakening. I do another nose plug RC (lol I'm actually doing RCs frequently for once).

      I knew I was dreaming, but RCing just verified that I can still be free to do what I can do.

      I decided that since I'm lucid again, and that I encountered being in her garden, I figured I used a technique to instantly flash there.
      (I'm not sure if it really was her garden/backyard, but I guess it's up to her to see this and verify if the details I saw relates to her place).

      I'm outside somewhere, it looks like my college, but it's so mixed with so many other things that it feels almost like one of those malls that have that city feel to it.

      I tried doing the Flying Thunder God Technique, since I already made a mental mark of how Alyzarin's Garden might look like. (though I should've used a physical object and place it in a certain spot to actually stay true to the technique...eh oh well).

      This is what I mean by Flying Thunder God Technique:

      http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Flying_..._God_Technique

      Or you could watch this video of it :



      I running really really fast, and I barely feel any kind burden or pain on my legs, and I was glad that I could finally run fast without worrying about stabilizing before I do so.

      I look at the location in front of me, and I try to prepare to do the transport technique by opening and widening my eyes, trying to feel how it would feel like to pop into the garden again.

      But I failed, so instead of worrying about it, I keep up my momentum and run around this compact city that had a mix of my University's brick wall setting along with some elements I wasn't too sure of.

      I believe I did another stabilization technique by rubbing my hands, and telling myself that I am dreaming to prevent becoming non-lucid.

      I see all sorts of DCs, some where familiar, some were not, but I didn't really care since I wanted to find Alyzarin.
      (I remember in a dream she had where she was in a school that had the setting of a mall I believe, and this environment looked almost like that, at least what my perception of what she thinks of it would be).

      I don't know why, but I feel like I'm rushing myself in this dream, but I am having amazing control in stabilizing it despite my abnormal speed and sporadic nature. I was jumping from one point to another, and I believe I jumped on the side of a bus that looks like the ones at my University.

      I think where it was headed, being on the side of it was not a good thing since it was close to the walls of the building, and I didn't want to come in contact and get my body grazed with the brick layering of this environment.

      I think I also saw some random meeting of DCs, and one Caucasian guy told another Black guy a joke on something that had a hint of racism, but not enough to be concerned about since the guy was really just joking. I think I heard the number '89' or something like that.

      I quickly ignore that event, and I forget what I did after that.

      I phased out most likely in the dream.

      I wake up again and find myself near the door to leave my apartment. I check outside to see how the weather would feel like. I did another Nose plug RC, but it didn't work for me, but that was because I didn't try to breath hard enough.

      And instead of doing other RCs, I just assume I'm back in waking life and was disappointed.

      It's morning time outside the area, with the sky still being a little gray. I close the door and after a while, I wake up.

      GOD DANG IT LOL!!! I could've had another lucid if I just breath hard enough with the nose plug RC.

      I hope Alyzarin will see this (she probably will), and I hope that the details I described about your place might be accurate, especially with the cat and the Rice Krispies, and an old lady that lives to the right or left of you (depending on where the backdoor is to your house).

      Now I sound like a creeper, but whatever, we agreed to find each other, so no worries.

    5. Incredibly funny dream this morning.

      by , 03-01-2012 at 12:49 AM (Chronicles of the Cosmos)
      I woke up around 2 or 3 A.M. this morning, got something to drink, and went back to bed. I laid down and closed my eyes for just a few seconds. I was not even asleep.

      Then, all of a sudden, I'm watching a dream where Super-Man (in his Super-Man attire) walks into a Pizza Hut, stops right as he steps into the place, uses his super speed to create strong wind currents which in turn creates chaos with paper flying all over the place and people screaming, then he stops right at the counter, spins and transforms into a cartoon version of Ted Williams who is known as the "homeless man with a golden voice, lol." And he's just standing there grinning and looking at the Pizza Hut girl who is looking back at him in utter disbelief. Her partner is also stunned and is staring at the guy with her mouth wide open.

      I immediately burst out laughing in bed... It was the strangest thing I've ever seen and it was freakishly funny to me.

    6. Dream about a car accident.

      by , 03-01-2012 at 12:17 AM (Chronicles of the Cosmos)
      I had this dream sometime last year I believe. I'm up in the air looking down at a car accident scene that involved me (I'm sure). I don't think I had an actual body but I crossed my arms and watched for a few seconds. Then, I looked up as I turned around and ascended into the sky and the dream ended right there.

    7. Strange house fragment+Scary door

      by , 02-29-2012 at 05:14 PM
      (The first dream had alot going on and I woke up from it at around 5, wish I had written it down then.) I am in my house, but it is very different, I know it was my house though. My brother and I are flying around the house using giant balloons. I am acting in some TV show. I get a 6 pack of sweetwater 420, but my Dad told me that I needed to hide it because my grandparents were coming. I took it and hid it in the fridge at the grocery store. I also remember fighting some girl, I think.
      (I woke up and decided i wanted to go back to that house because that dream was so fun, I wanted to be lucid in there)
      I am back in that house, it is alot different again but I still know it is my house. This time it is like a blockbuster type store that my friends and I own. We are walking around talking about what we are going to do with the store now that we own it when we come to this room with a closet. (I think this was a version of the room I used to sleep in when I was little) Jimmy says "This room is awesome but I don't know if I could sleep in here with that creepy closet. As soon as I look at the old beat down closet I get a wave of fear, and that feeling of something running towards me. I try to turn back and run away, but it catches me, levitates me off the ground and starts spinning me slowly. I start to panic, especially when I see the look of fear in Jimmy's eyes. My breaths become short and fast, I start to feel like I am going to die. I wake up breathing extremely loud and fast.

    8. Impersonation, Violence and Succubi (4 dreams)

      by , 02-29-2012 at 05:11 PM
      Four weird dreams from me this morning. The first one is fairly basic... I guess I managed to win a lot of money in the lottery. I had been second, instead of first, so I didn't win all the money that the lottery had to offer, but I had a solid 2 million dollars. I was pretty happy with that, to say the least, but not as bursting out of the room crazy happy as I would be in real life. (Though I don't actually enter the lottery in real life...) I'm calculating how I'm going to make this money sustainable, like living off the interest. I have a ton of interest -- 18% or something absurd, and it confuses me greatly. But then I realize they're offering me more interest because I'm storing more money there. That's all I really remember for that one, though I also know I was wandering around my grandparents' house for part of the dream.

      The second dream is more interesting. I'm with family, and we're out... somewhere. On a road trip or something. Somehow it becomes a good idea that we need to try to impersonate someone. I wish I knew the details because this is pretty sketchy. Somehow we manage to kick a cop out of his car and steal it, GTA style. We drive it not far down the road, to a friend he was going to visit and hasn't seen in a long time. (How we knew this information, I have no idea) We made hardly any attempt to disguise ourselves beyond adopting the names that the cop and his family have. Yet, somehow it works. His friend certainly looks at me funny, says I should probably shave and such, but believes that I am the cop. Same thing goes for my parents and my little brother. Somehow even though people are clearly suspicious, they're not about to say anything. I still don't know why we needed to impersonate the cop or stop at this random person's house, but in the dream it was necessary, or a good idea, or something. In any case, my family just hops out of the car to visit a bit, use the restroom, etc. just like we were at a pit stop on the highway. The only thing I remember from dialog is having my mom talk about records and having to correct her because she had no clue how to pronounce "vinyl". We are near the end of our stay, getting ready to leave, and I'm outside the car. The cop's friend has a family too, of course, including a younger daughter hanging out in the yard. Inexplicably, I'm totally naked. (This happens to me a lot, when I feel exposed in a dream...) I'm not far from her, looking down the road when I start to see a cop car or truck flying down the road. Of course he would call backup, being a cop and all. We'd been here about ten minutes, and it was actually surprising it hadn't happened sooner. I knew we were in big trouble, and I panicked trying to find some clothes and put them back on... because you know, being naked near a young girl makes you look really, really bad! This is where the dream ends, though.

      The third dream is something entirely different. I'm in some sort of game environment, though unlike most of my game dreams that are unclear, in this one it's clear that I'm walking around within the game, as myself, in full 3D. (You don't know how many of my dreams are fuzzy on point of view and such) In this scenario, I have a guide at the ready or something, because there's a house or something I start in with people I can interact with. It's more of an adventure game than anything else. But something that I wanted to do (I only remember something about gambling, but it wasn't the main focus) required me to be inexplicably violent to totally innocent people. So, I start to kill some of the people around me. The details, thankfully, were either abstracted or forgotten. But I'm looking around for one or two more people I'm supposed to kill, and can't find anywhere. I end up venturing outside the house, and into one or two nearby buildings. I know that I paused in the yard and marveled a bit on the details around me, despite being totally non-lucid the rest of the time. I feel like one of the other buildings was a museum or something, too, but once again things are kinda fuzzy. All I know is that I never was able to kill the last few people I needed to, and that after talking with some I needed to leave alone, I started to feel bad for the ones that I had killed.

      The final dream is probably the weirdest one. I'm up on some mountain in an unfamiliar landscape, but I have a map of the immediate area. The thing about this mountaintop is that there are a lot of doors that lead into the mountain, with succubi behind them. All of the doors have windows in them, of course. They aren't exactly wearing the traditional outfits for succubi, but they were the same as all others... they acted sexy, lured stupid men in, and did God-knows-what with them. Knowing all this, of course, made me perfectly safe. They simply didn't go past those doors, so the man had to take the first step and seal their fate. However, I was tasked by someone to find out more about what they were doing, and to put an end to all this if possible, so that's why I was up on this mountaintop. Essentially, my job was to capture one of them and interrogate them. So, I opened one of the doors and pretended to be smitten by the succubus behind it. However, we didn't get more than a couple feet from the door when I suddenly grabbed her and dragged her outside. She was making quite a protest, as if the light itself would hurt her, and I'm lucky I didn't get mobbed or something. But, we were now out on the cliffside. Still clutching her, I jumped off the edge... and it's a long, long way down. I had her below me as if she would somehow cushion my fall, and we just kept tumbling. There were a couple instances where I was sure she'd broken a few bones, but we make it to the bottom and both of us are somehow totally unharmed.

      We are nearby a lake, and I quickly recover and pin her to the ground. Part of the plan involved submerging her in water if she wouldn't cooperate. Cruel, admittedly, but we didn't know what exactly we were dealing with, and had to be prepared for anything. Around this point I realize this succubus is none other than Noel Vermillion from BlazBlue. (Who frankly, is not much for succubus material. Way too shy, nervous, apologetic, etc.) I start asking her questions about what is going on up on the mountain, and why. Unfortunately, I don't remember getting much useful information out of her, but I also don't remember asking many important questions. I do, however, ask her why she's doing this, and she says that she really doesn't know. (If you play Blazblue, you know that there are few things more convincing than Noel saying she doesn't know something. She's kind of a tool in the series. >.>) I get the impression from what she tells me that there's another person higher up that's telling them all to do this. Some of the succubi are more willing to comply than others, but they're all afraid to dissent. Sometime during the interrogation I end up letting go of her and get on the phone, presumably to call whoever sent me on this mission. I continue to ask her questions while I'm filling him in. Though she wanders around the area a bit, she doesn't stray far, and it's clear she isn't in a rush to get back to that mountaintop. I think she realizes that I feel kinda bad for her at this point myself, and that I no longer want to hurt her. She doesn't seem afraid of me anymore. The dream ends here, but there's a sense that we are going to team up somehow, and do something about the succubi leader that seems awfully unpopular. We each have sympathy for the other's precidament and realize there was a big misunderstanding.
    9. First WILD!

      by , 02-29-2012 at 01:20 PM
      WILD

      I had awoken to some thunder, heavy rain, and hail. I checked the time. 12:04. I had went to bed at around 9PM. All the ruckus stopped except for the rain (which I find quite soothing ^_^) so I decided to try a WILD. After about 4 times I had turned over since I started, I finally got it. I don't recall hitting sleep paralysis, but I do remember my eyelids starting to flash. These the formed into images (that I can't recall) and I was in a dream.

      As I entered, I decided I just wanted to go along with what was happening so I didn't overexcite myself. I was in a classroom and we had apparently took a quiz the day before(before I was in the dream). The quiz was to spell the word "Cat" and the teacher was announcing the results. Only 3 people got it wrong. I was one of them. I spelled it "Kap"

      There is a gap in my remembrance here... The next thing I remember is that I was beside my friend Evan. He grabbed me by the wrist and teleported me. We were in a small enclosed jungle that we couldn't escape. There were about 3 black and white stripped lions in with us. They hadn't spotted us but the feeling was that they would hurt us if we didn't leave. Evan the proceeds to laugh at me, and is about to teleport away. I grab his wrist but he's gone and I'm still here. I try dream spinning to teleport back away, but there was no hope. The lions still hadn't spotted me but I woke up.

      I was back in my bed, and I realized how excited I was to just of had a WILD! I get on my computer and start typing word for word, ever exact detail I could remember about the dream. I knew it beginning to end, and it lead to a lot of typing. I was somehow notified to do a favor for a friend then, which I did and came back home to type the rest of the dream. I checked the time. It was 10:45PM ish. I was worried I wouldn't get enough sleep for the night.

      I woke up again. This time, I did a reality check. I wasn't dreaming anymore, and I had just experienced my first WILD and a false awakening. I went back to sleep normally...

      Soccer


      My next, and last dream of the night was just a fragment that I could remember. It had to do with soccer, and I was playing a 1v1v1 match on the city fields. Being there 3 teams, our team happened to sit out first and wait for our turn. Me and another 2 friends were conversing. We had missed when our team got on the field, but we could still get on. That's all I remember :s
    10. I think I was a NAZI doctor.

      I had this dream early this morning.

      I think I was a NAZI doctor (based on a gut feeling during the dream). I was quickly walking down a hallway through a rather disturbing and unsanitary sick ward full of children. There was some blood on the floor and walls and there were one or two soldiers with guns behind me. They were only there to assist me. I didn't bother to look behind me as I was too occupied walking though the ward peeking into rooms. I spent maybe one or two seconds peeking into sick rooms and each room held just one child dressed in a simple white gown. As I passed one, I saw a child that looked to be too ill to be of any use for us. I said "dispose of him" and a soldier reluctantly said "ah... right." I saw him run into the sick room with his firearm as I kept walking.

      I remember that the rooms didn't have doors and the doorways were wide and oval shaped. And everything was a dull white color. Also, I think we were doing experiments on the children.

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID



      I haven't been remembering my dreams as much recently. It could be due to focusing more on university and taking less naps. However, today I was exhausted after class, and hit my bed like free willy not clearing the wall. I was asleep in under five minutes.

      I had a short, strange dream about walking the queen of England through a busy city centre and helping her onto a submarine which was docked in a canal. I woke up after the dream, but didn't move or open my eyes. Instead I "looked around" with my eyes, just to see what would pop up. A table solidified in front of me. I was sitting at it. A few seconds more and it became clear that I was in a booth at an american-style diner. I drummed my knuckles on the table and looked around. I was sitting beside the window, and it was pitch black outside. The only light came from small oil lamps scattered around the diner. The diner itself was bare and run-down. I remembered that part of the task of the year was to survive the Trinity Test of the first nuclear bomb, and it struck me that the diner could be part of a purpose-built "nuke town"- built cheap and designed to be blown up. In thinking this, I made it so.

      A man approached my table from the right. He appeared to be a sheriff, and looked almost exactly like the sheriff from the start of Kill Bill. He said something to me in his southern-american drawl, adjusted his belt, and walked out of the diner into the dark. I can't remember what he said, but I inferred from it that a nuclear test was about to take place, and I should make myself scarce. Standing up from the booth, I noticed a huge, bright red metal cylinder in front of the till. It was about a metre and a half in diameter, and went from the floor all the way up through the ceiling. I assumed the first nuclear bomb must be inside at the top, waiting to be dropped.

      With this in mind, I went behind the counter and into the kitchen, where I found a ladder and trapdoor leading to the roof. The wind on the roof was incredible. It roared past me, and I could see the changing course of the streams of air all around the building. It was very dark in the streets below, but the occasional light was on outside buildings. In the gloom I noticed strange dark figures running back and forth. They were jagged-looking, like they were crudely-cast shadows. A little curious, I turned to the top of the bomb container. There were still two army grunts working frantically on a complicated control panel. Their sense of urgency was compounded by the howling of the wind, and every so often they would make reference to "zombies". I wondered then, whether this nuclear test could have an alterior motive- the eradication of a population of zombies. As most people know, I am a firm supporter of zombie rights. Namely, the right to a swift and comically violent death. To attract as many of these shadowy zombies into the kill zone as possible, I ran to all four sides of the roof, shouting like a maniac. Dark shapes in the street below darted through patches of light towards the diner. They were quick and waif-like. Some even started hopping up the side of the buildings nearby. I looked over my shoulder at the army guys and motioned for them to hurry it along. I turned my back on them and saw a dark figure peering up over the edge of the roof. He jumped up, and everything froze.

      The wind stopped howling and everything fell silent at once. Within a split second, a white-hot, orange light expanded from behind me. It was hot, and covered everything in my field of view in an instant. All I could hear was a high-pitched whine, and I could feel the blast burning. I roared as loud and long as I could -which I noted felt a lot longer than I could have done on a normal lungful of air- and the roar became part of the noise of the explosion. By the time the roar was finished, I had lost touch with any kind of physical body. My point-of-view had zoomed out beyond the town, which I could now see was on a narrow penninsula. The explosion obliterated it entirely.

      In what seemed like only a few seconds later, I zoomed back in and found myself in a body again. I was deep underground, beneath where the town had been. I had a pickaxe in my hand, and was listlessly tapping on some loose rock.
      From there, the dream became a bit like Minecraft, -which I have tragically never played- and I lost lucidity.

      #1: I was poisoned with two other people. It was night time. These two people died eventually, and I arrived at a kebab shop or something like that. The owner was a large man with some facial hair which makes a very tiny beard. He saw that I was poisoned and slapped his assistant on the head and said "Call an ambulance!" in some kind of accent. I waited for the ambulance, but when it arrived it drove passed, I could hear what they said, the driver said "That's not him, keep going." I waited and waited, I saw some guys kicking a ball around. I remember my condition getting worse, then waking up.

      #2: I was walking somewhere and there was this amazing view, similar to that from the dream with the travelling bag salesman. I was with some friends, not sure who though. I saw the girl who appeared in other dreams and she was with some other people, one of which had big, curly hair. He got angry at me and I grabbed him. However the most prominant figure in this dream was the girl, even thought it should have been focusing on the guy, it was actually her who I could see the best.

    13. Tibetan Monks and Gladiators

      by , 02-28-2012 at 09:50 PM
      2012-02-28
      We arrive in Tibet (which I know next to nothing about, and the stuff my mind came up with ranges from wildly inaccurate to patently absurd). It is still like the world was in the time of Jesus. Everyone is very poor. I talk to one of the monks in the orange robes. I want to ask him about lucid dreaming, but there are other things to talk about first, and I let him steer the conversation. He talks about how their language, French, used to be the most widely used language, and now they are side-lined as English has taken its palce. I tell him I know I am simply lucky that my language is the widely used one. He tells me I have many years to learn other languages. I tell him about how I am trying to learn German.

      There are all these quarters on the ground. I pick one up, but I get the feeling that I wasn't supposed to, so I put it back down later. Then I pick up another one later. I see the monks periodically placing them on the ground. Er... oops. I really was not supposed to do that. I try to sneakily place the quarter back on the ground, but the monk I've been talking to catches me. He yells at me, saying that picking up the quarters is very wrong, causing a curse that can hurt or kill people. He made that mistake when he was younger, and people died. I'm really sorry. I didn't know. I won't do it again.

      We walk. Pretty much all of the people here besides the monks are old, poor, French-speaking women, and all the monks are men. I don't see any children, although I think there are a couple other tourists, like me. The monks provide the old women with aid and advice, where they can. The monk follows me into a room, probably on a boat. I am looking at a barbecue pork recipe on the wall, while eating a piece of barbecue chicken with my hands. He asks me what it is, and I tell him.

      Outside again, the monk kisses me on the forehead. This feels very weird, and I am not comfortable with this at all.

      In the night, we are woken by a loud noise. We get up to go check it out. It was just a loud machine, though. The monk talks to one of the women in French. I get separated from him somewhere along the way. I'm using my cell phone for light, where there are not other lights. I'm in the living room of my old house now. I see my mom. She jumps onto the fireplace, climbing up the brick in a way that seems creepily inhuman. On the mantelpiece above the fireplace, there are two statues. There are supposed to be four. My 'mom' takes one of the remaining statues, leering at me. She is not supposed to do that. The monks will be mad. That's much worse than when I picked up the quarters, and she is doing it on purpose! I throw my phone at her.

      I wake up. It's 4:15 am. At first I just jot down some notes, but that dream was so cool/weird that I decide to write it all out in the middle of the night instead of waiting for the morning.

      There's a large well. I am Ian, and the Doctor and possibly Barabara are here, too (from Doctor Who). I dropped the ring down the well, but I need to get it back. There is some sort of sprite/spirit in the well, controlling the water. First the water level goes down, then it goes back up. I dive into the water to retrieve the ring and am sucked down into a hole at the bottom of the well.

      I'm travelling with a partner. We're in a shop. I buy a floppy hat. We leave the shop, which is just one small part of a bigger place. For some reason, we're signing up to fight in a gladiatorial event. The line for it is very long and slow. This place has the atmosphere of a casino. It's confusing when I finally get to the front of the line. There's a teller open, but I'm not sure I can use that one. There are signs, but somehow that just confuses me even more. Are fighters supposed to only sign up at the particular teller? I end up using the same one my friend did, after he is done. The person there thinks I am someone she knows, named Rita. I play along. Half my information (address, name, etc.) is fake anyways. I probably wouldn't get through this with a teller who didn't 'know' me. I'm nervous about being discovered, though, but eventually I am done signing up, and I get my 'lotto' tickets that I can use if I survive.

      It's night. The fight will be tomorrow. The guy who runs this place is evil. I find stairs going up, but when I get to the top, there is nothing there. I guess it will lead somewhere once they're finished setting up. I go back down.

      I put on the floppy hat I bought earlier. It takes me a while to get all the plastic tag bits off of it. I'm with the other gladiators. I encourage them to rebel. When the staff comes along, I attack them (oddly, just this one scene is in third person). I get completely piled on, but when the others start fighting, too, I get a chance to escape.

      I walk through the fire escape door, deliberately and without hesitation, even though I know I will probably be caught quickly, since these things are well guarded. The fire alarm goes off, and I step out into a corridor. The guard outside the door seems to know me. He asks how some plot I'm supposed to know about is going. I don't know what to say, but I'm not worried about that right now. I'm looking for a door that actually leads outside. I find an office, instead. I turn around and try going the other way. I find the door that actually leads outside and I start walking along the street, eager to get away. The guard is following me like some sort of puppy, complaining about how tired he is because he didn't get any sleep last night. I tell him he wouldn't have gotten any rest if he had stayed on guard duty anyway.
    14. Maleficent, Harry Potter curse, castle

      by , 02-28-2012 at 06:47 PM
      I woke up in what seem to be dank and dreary-sp? room. In the room was a throne on the throne was Maleficent. There might have been other (Disney) villains but my attention was mostly focused on Maleficent. She made this long winded speech...but I only got "You (me) will happy us (them/her) on the way to greatness". I refused. She got out her medivalish wand and said "Cruio". I resisted. She just told them to tie me up. But I fight back..I woke up before anything else could happe
    15. Bear in the Big Blue House, Timthoy goes to school, Fraklin the turtle dream

      by , 02-28-2012 at 06:44 PM
      Two nights ago I had a dream that I was an animal at a party at "The Bear in the big blue house" TV show. Something about a tape..and then it changed to a cross between two other kids' tv shows Franklin the turtle and Timothy goes to School." I was a fox.. and somehow in the woods I got "stuck" in the snow near a waterfall. I was trying to get out of it (the woods look to be from Franklin) . Only after I asked for help from two other people did the snow melt and I was able to get out if it
