memorable

This time I was dreaming that I was in a wearhouse and people were walking around and I stopped and thought "I can do anything in this dream, I have special powers." Then all the DCs faced me and clapped and cheered. This caught me off guard.

Then I was in brightly lit room on the floor and I was making up a sign

something like this but with sprinkles too.
This was really un-guy like. While putting on the sprinkles I started to think "what am I doing???" [you're making a poster for the hip 80's band Got Mouth], a female thought told me. I didn't recognize the name of the band but more so I didn't like the silly ridiculousness of this, it was so not me!
Thats when my view panned a bit over to the left side and I saw someone in the space where I was a half second ago and it was the short haired girl, oblivious to me comfortably sitting on this floor folding paper for the sign. There was no way she had just sat there, I came out of her somehow. She looked older than beofre maybe early 30s.
Dream ended.
In an earlier dream, she did say that she was me. I seem to be dreaming through someone else's dreams, this is very interesting. I haven't gotten a name of her yet, working on it.

Still sick, so no WBTB. No LD.

We'll go from vague to vivid on this one.

There was one part that had something to do with Jenn, and a phone or something.

I remember one part I was in the old house, and we had this puppy, and it was defective or something, so I threw it in the trash. I remember seeing the trash wriggle around as the puppy was jumping around inside. Don't worry it was DE that it was not a real puppy, so no pets were harmed in the dream. Then I went to the living room to watch TV with Sean. We had a crap ton of channels, and we put on something about music, or boxing. Something like that.

There was also this part where Brian, Mom, and I were in this multicolored hotel. Each wall had a different color, and the color was bright and very solid, like Microsoft Paint colors. The place was very blocky as well, so every time the walls would curve or something, they instead formed a corner, and a whole new flat surface. And each flat surface was a different color. Magenta, lime green, and yellow are the first ones that come to mind. Anyway, These bad guy(s) with gun(s) were coming to the hotel. Brian tried to stop them, but was unsuccessful. I called 911, and I told them I was at this hotel, and they said they were on their way. But when I hung up, I realised that I never actually told them the address of the hotel. There was also this one part with cartoon characters or something.

Then, I had a pretty interesting dream where I had a bunch of pets, and they were all Pokemon. This part of the dream took place in my house (I was living on my own) and it was late at night, raining outside, and very dark. I was in the kitchen, and the only light that allowed me to see was from the moonlight outside, and it bathed the kitchen in a dim light, but the color wasn't pale. It was more like there was just a dim light on inside the house. The one half of the kitchen was vaguely reminiscent of the kitchen in my current house, but with some alteration in the position of the cabinets. the second half was completely made up. If I face away from the counters and cabinets, I could walk forward and go through a doorway on the left, which led to a hallway and stairs instead of a living room like usual. There were only walls on the right of me, and past the door was a white fridge, not unlike the fridge I used to have in my old house. Beyond the fridge was a window, and it was darker than you could imagine outside, yet this was the window that let the light in, strangely enough. The only Pokemon I remember seeing were Rattata and Zapdos. I looked over by where the fridge was and noticed that Zapdos was laying motionless on the floor. Next to him was the Rattata. Anyway I wasn't sad that my favorite Pokemon died because I thought, "Hell, I'll just make another one." I know there was a part where I had this cook book-like instructional guide on how to build another Zapdos, and his legs were a main ingredient, but I don't remember much else. Anyway the next part of this dream had nothing to do with the first part, but you could tell it took place in the same setting, with the same vibe in the air, and the same dark night. Mom found out she had cancer, and she came into my room to tell me. My room had a BUNCH of posters everywhere, but they were all the same, but they were giving off a more "decoration" vibe than useless posters. Sean and Brian were in my room as well. I asked Mom how we would be able to afford treatment. Then she told me we would have to move very far away because of all of this. Then there was this weird part where there was this weird visual filter that made it so you could see sound via waves. So if you heard a C note, you saw this metal wire wave across your vision in the correct frequency.

The last dream I had started out with Darth Vader and I, along with some mutual friend, and we were in this restaurant. The place was very spacious, and had a lot of TVs all over the walls, the same way Applebee's has knick-knacks all over their walls. The spaces where you could see the walls were light blue, and there were also giant windows in which you could see outside. The table we were sitting at was square and very small. Darth Vader and I were play-fighting with fake light sabers, and I swear I chopped off his arm like ten times. We got into an argument about this he told me he has this invisible shield that covers most of his front upper torso, and his hands were in that area, so they didn't get chopped off. I said he should have mentioned this in the first place. Then I was outside in a bunch of snow with class at school. We had to slide things down this hill into this little mound of snow for some reason. Then I was in school, and it was the second day, so everyone was still getting used to their schedules. The school was set up differently, but oddly, it was the same setup as in a previous dream. The main hallway was unnecessarily wide, as was the lunch room. In my dream, I was a pretty popular guy, like in middle school. Anyway, I was still used to the schedule I had the year before, so instead of going to class, I went to lunch. In my dream, Kate, Stephanie, and Jenn were all best friends or something. I was sitting in lunch for a while, and I realised this wasn't where I was supposed to be, and I looked up at Kate, Stephanie, and Jenn, and I said something like, "Oh no! I didn't miss much did I?" or, "This isn't the right class, is it?" I got up and went to my real class, which was this elective writing class. Kyle was in this class (why does he feel the need to make a cameo appearance in all of my dreams?) and so was Cassandra. Our assignment was to draw these UFO's and a lot of people were copying each other, even though we had a template to copy. Cassandra came up to me, and said something about the assignment, or made some sort of joke. Then, I was thinking about something (it wasn't important) and then Kate, Stephanie, and Jenn, who were also in the class looked at me. Jenn said, "Is everything alright?" It's interesting that this happened because in real life, back in 9th grade, I felt like my friends were ditching me (spoiler: they were) and I never found out why. I'm sure it was nothing personal. It was more like we just drifted apart. But anyway, I was spacing out one say in class thinking about this, and Jenn asked me if I was alright. I had a huge crush on Jenn at the time, and I didn't want to seem like a debbie downer, so I said, "No, I'm fine, why?" She said, "Because you look worried." I replied with, "No, I'm good." I always wondered what would have happened if I actually talked to her about it. But anyway, in the dream, I responded with one of those wobbly hand signs that mean, "Ehhh...kinda so-so." Then I said, "Not really," and they gave me this worried look. Since I was actually feeling fine, I reassured to them, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me, I'm good." Only this time, I meant it.

Feels good, man.

Oh, also in the same dream, Iyannah and Martha were in the class, and both were really hot, but they were sisters, and both of their names were Ibouku, and they had different last names. Martha caught me staring at her, and she thought I had a crush on her.

I don't mean to bring my personal life onto here, I just felt the dream needed explaining.

the one was in an old house.....there was a sign outside that said how many rooms were taken....i think it was supposed to be a haunted house and they were trying to get people to see how long they could stay

the other was at a lake.....this guy took this thing (no idea what it was)....to the center of the lake and was eaten by a tentacle creature in the lake.....it threw me out when i tried to get to him to help him...i called him my dad but he wasn't my dad irl.......then i was on a bridge thing that was really long and went over the lake and this person pushed a button and i was supposed to go down hidden stairs to something.....i'm not sure what...but that person was leading me there and wanted something from me

Last night I got into bed around 11:00, did a relaxation exercise and closed my eyes.

I tried to concentrate on any visuals I had going on (not many) and consciously think about having a Lucid Dream.

Hours went by with nothing happening. I tossed and turned but couldn't even fall asleep.

By around 3:00 am. I got up went to the bathroom and laid back down and tried again.

What happened next was very confusing. It felt like from that point on I got NO SLEEP at all. I just tossed and turned all night. But as the night wore on I realized I was falling asleep for very brief periods of time (Not sure exactly possibly 5 - 15 mins) and dreaming. Then waking up... laying there, then falling asleep.

The dreams were all segments of one large dream. I have never had this happen before to this extent. I have dreamed, woken up and fallen back asleep to the same dream but never anything like this.

There were a few times where I remember falling asleep to myself thinking "you are dreaming..." and it carried over into the dream but it wasn't enough to cause lucidity or if it did it ended right away.

I also know I had at least one false awakening. I fell asleep and "woke back up" frustrated I couldn't fall asleep but I wasn't in my room. (I realized this after the fact and put together that I was having false awakenings.

So between not sleeping, having small dream segments each time I dozed off for very brief periods of time and then having false awakenings mixed in it was a very confusing and frustrating night / day.

I never did manage to fall asleep for any considerable length of time.

The dream segments added together were rather interesting.

It took place in a subway station. Like the underground kind you take in Boston. I remember waiting for the T. A few trains went by but they weren't the ones I needed to take.

I remember a group of girls dressed for halloween. They were dressed like Pac-Man and some of the ghosts I believe, but they weren't very good costumes.

All of a sudden I realized I had been waiting for the wrong train. The train I needed passed a while ago. I got very upset and frustrated.

At one point a train came by and it was the one I needed, a bunch of people crowded to get into the train but before anyone could get on, they took it out of service. I remember a sign saying something like "Service people only". So I wasn't able to board it.

The next portion of the dream I was still in the station and I remember seeing this girl next to me. Long curly black hair. She was topless. Beautiful. I remember saying to her I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world.

The next thing I remember I was talking to a different girl near bye and saying something to her. Possibly hitting on her. She got offended as if she knew I was just talking to the other girl.

I remembered doing it then suddenly I didn't and I felt like the guy from "Memento" where I couldn't remember what had just happened. Everyone in the station was staring at me as if they knew I was faking... maybe I was at the start but by that point I wasn't. I remember feeling terrified.

I remember feeling that I wanted to go home very badly and still wasn't able to get onto the train. I ran outside of the station where it was raining.

At this point I think I started to recall that I was dreaming during some of the segments because I remember thinking I could fly home.

That is all I can remember. The bulk of this took place between 4 - 9 am. Each portion of the dream broken up by waking or false awakenings, then continuing when I fell back asleep for very brief periods of time.

I was playing prototype last night and found the thread GILD - Game Induced Lucid Dream [Experimental].
I decided to give this technique a chanse.

So the last thing i did before going to bed was playing Prototype, Did a couple of RC's every 15-25 minutes. I then went to bed and i almost fell into sleep instantly. No luck this far. My alarm goes at around 05.30, i get up from bed and turn my computer on, played Prototype again for like 45-50 minutes and then closed to attempt a WILD through WBTB. Once again while at bed i daydream that im still playing.

I then enter Sleep Paralyze, While in SP i remember these lines in my head "Do a RC asap" so i did the finger through palm and nose-plug RC as soon as i realised i was soaring through the sky and jumping on buildings. Then i tell myself "I am now lucid" so i start rubbing my hands to stabilize my dream. I then False awakens. Fortunantly i hadn't forgot about doing some more RC's. I then once again find myself successfull in an attempt to WILD. I went outside and jumped up to the moon. The moon looked like the one in Zelda - Majoras Mask. I gave it a smile (looked hilarious) and jumped back to earth, then i lost my lucidity and were unable to remember everything after that.

I was in my room, on the bed, one evening. Cat was there as well, lying closer to the wall. He was wearing a white shirt. He (or I) was reading something, then he lied down on his back, his eyes closed. I lied next him coz I wanted to look at his sleepy face. When I got closer, I saw his eyes are still open slightly. When he saw me, he suddenly looked funny at me. I told him I just want to watch him as he sleeps. He turned around, facing the wall.

I went somewhere and went back. Cat was talking on the phone, facing the wall (or maybe pretending that someone called him). Then he said he has to go. I got sad. When he was about to go out the door, I reached for his hand and asked him where he's going. He said he's just going to the bathroom. I slowly let go of his hand as he slowly walked away into the bathroom, while both of us still looking at each other. I finally lost sight of him when I closed the door.

I went somewhere far. Bacolod? Morning. I was looking at eye/sunglasses in a store. I went out. I was in downtown Bacolod. I ran, sad and depressed, because he left me. Then I wondered, what if he just went somewhere, and he was going to return, but then he didn't find me at home, so we just went away? I got more depressed.

It was near the pier in Toledo. I ran. I was near the pier. The beach, with clean, white sand. There were some plants. I jumped over into lower ground on the beach, which was more than six feet high (I'd normally feel very uncomfortable jumping from that height). I felt sad, but at the same time, I didn't mind getting hurt physically, because the pain in my heart hurt more.

Then I reached a place on the beach where there are more people. There is a family of two male parents; they're married and they have three kids, having a blast at the beach. I checked the next "jump," and it was a lot higher. Too high. I saw a bamboo ladder going down. I told myself I'll go down and once I'm lower, I'll jump backwards onto the sand. I then hid my mobile phones in my short pants in a way that they won't get damaged.

I crossed stepped into the bamboo ladder and started going down. Then, at a height I thought I'd still be uncomfortable, I let myself fall backwards. I landed. It was closer than I thought.

Well...I missed one of my more recently occurring dream signs tonight, the sky.

I'm outside, and it's day time. I look up and I see this jet flying by our house. It looks like one of those leer jets except it has two solar panels attached on each side. The jet keeps making passes while opening and closing the panels. Someone was frightened of it because of how it was moving, but I was simply amazed.

Suddenly it became dark, and skyscrapers sprouted from the ground, changing the entire horizon. The scene went from being dull to a retro futuristic setting. Like something you'd see in a old Godzilla movie. Buildings from all types of eras of what the "future" was supposed to look like. I started taking pictures of it all (don't even know where I got the camera from) and suddenly there was a crash. There was an ambulance crew right on the scene, and from what I got out of it, I was in the middle of some movie.

H showed up, and I was telling her that we'd be able to play the part better, since we did crap like that for a living. Later on I found myself waiting on some kind of review, and on it, it said I did all these things that were completely out of character.

So I figured it's 11 am, perfect time to lay back down and re-try to enter a LD state. After the weird ones i Had earlier today... what the hell.

Laid down, shut my eyes and nothing happened for a while. Then I found myself standing in the middle of what I assumed was "my room" and couldn't remember getting up. So I remember thinking, "I'm dreaming" do something, jump! I did but didn't float. So I said fuck it and just threw myself into the air like superman and it worked.

I thought I was in my own house (I wasn't) so I jumped up into the air again and tried to float through the floors but it didn't work. I think I woke myself back up at that point and fell right back asleep remembering I was dreaming still...

I was so happy that I realized it was a false awakening that I woke myself up.

But I fell back asleep and it happened again. I didn't realize I was sleeping, I tested it and again I was dreaming.

I kept waking myself back up for real and that got more confusing.

I know I was awake at one point and I convinced myself I was actually still dreaming... and it worked. (I could feel my body in bed and knew I was actually awake but I just pushed through it and made myself fall back asleep).

This time I was so happy I managed to get up, run out of the room, unlock the door to the house and go out into the street where there was lots of people and families walking around.

It was a neighborhood (not mine) and I have no idea who's house I had woken up in...

I remember walking around and trying to go to someone else's house and go inside. I got very excited and the dream started to fade so I reminded myself to spin. Spin spin spin.... I think I started it too late because next thing I know I could feel my body in bed and I was thinking spin spin spin.... It was a fight between the two states of LD and awake in bed... I think it almost worked but in the end I woke up.

So I will take this as another victory. Even though my LD's are still very short periods of time today I feel like I actually did work and learned some things.

Earlier today I spent time in my LD's dealing with controlling them and keeping them going.

Just now I feel like I learned how to identify false awakenings better. It also made me realize I have a hell of a lot more false awakenings then I think I do.

Last night I went to bed early and did a muscle relaxation technique. I then closed my eyes, put in ear plugs and tried to concentrate on the visuals.

I got some tingling sensations but after an hour or more nothing happened.

I flipped onto my side and went to sleep.

My alarm went off at 4 am so I tried again... but nothing happened and I drifted off to sleep.

Sent my kid off to school at 7 am, propped an extra pillow behind my head and started again. This is typically when I start to LD anyway.

Like the day before I drifted in and out. Overall I had several LDs but they were quite different than before.

They all started off as normal dreams and I wake up into them. The first one was the longest and it took me a while to realize I was dreaming. But once I did I immediately started to work on controlling it.

The LD was not as "intense and vivid" as the long one I had four days ago. But I had total control. The first one was about my extended family. I am quite sure that this was because one of my aunts made a comment on my facebook page and I read it before bed.

It took place in the bedroom I grew up in as a kid. Eventually I realized I was dreaming. I stayed in the room and experimented with different things. I remember doing something really odd like taking my hand and stretching it across the room. I don't recall much else at this point other than I had total control.

I had several small LDs after that. I would wake up and fall right back asleep. I remember some of them were sexual in nature.

The last one I can recall took place in a hallway. I remember saying I was looking for a "red head" and a bunch of people came running down the hallway and one girl came up to me and said something like "here I am".

The odd thing was she really didn't have red hair, it was more strawberry blonde. But I pulled her aside and focused on her and she became a red head. I remember once again having sex after that.

So this makes four LD night / days in a row. While none of the past three have matched how intense and real the first one was days ago, they were all different than in the past.

This latest one was by far the oddest and most interesting as it seemed like I was taking advantage of he time and honing my skills in getting control over the dream world. Like a sandbox version of a game I sat and played and experimented.

I would like to now combine the two and try to have a really deep LD with control that goes on for a while.

I think I am trying a combination of different techniques at night before I fall asleep and they are not working. I may also be attempting to have an OOB experience. I really need to learn the different techniques and the difference between the two and how to attain them.

This, was not a pleasant night, due to the dreams it entailed. First off, it began with me, another boy, and a girl, who I did not recognize from my everyday life, but they brought me over to their grandpa's air force base, or something. There was water at the floor of the place, enough to be deep enough to swim in, but there were planes everywhere. The boy went into the plane with his grandfather, along with the girl soon later. He called for any last entrees, and for some reason, I decided not to go in. Soon, I guess a plane was right by me, and I pushed it, which caused it to move in circles in the air. As the occupied plane lifted off from the water, it hit the circling plane, which blew it down to smitherines. Next thing I knew, the place was in disaster. Planes crashing everywhere, fires erupting at corners, explosions, and screaming became the ambiance of the area. It was terrible, and I couldn't help feel for blame for all of it. The three other people I mentioned before had lived, though most everyone else died, but then I woke up.

Next, was a more scarier dream. It had to do with me, my brother, and my mom going to this house that was supposedly haunted. At first, I was reluctant, but I passed the feeling and stepped in. From the moment I walked into the house, I felt a new feeling, a bad one. My mom mentioned something about the house's original owner before he died being Anthony Hopkins, and I only asked "THE Anthony Hopkins?" and she did not reply. Later on, we explored the rooms, one had a flickering TV still on, and somewhere, I picked up a puppy, but as we advanced through the rooms, a feeling kept brushing by me, like a spirit. Soon enough, we all had this feeling that we were now haunted by this thing, so we ran out, or I did at least, with the puppy who was vibrating like crazy. Once I reached my original home, I placed the dog in the backyard, in which the neighbors dog, cat hybrid looking thing came in and tried to eat it. I tried to bargain with it, which actually worked, and then put a plug into the wall, and a forcefeild appeared from the neighbor's home. It was somewhat scary, actually, though what does it mean?

9-11-11

This dream is a little vague because i think i woke up in a false awakening afterwards cus i turned my alarm on in the middle of the night, but in the morning it was still off. Probably why i only remembered this when i meditated after i woke up for real.

I am sitting on a couch in my house with slightly different furniture. My whole family is there , (mom,dad my sister and 2 dogs) . We seem to have guests tho, there are two humanoid aliens sitting on the couch with us. I don't recall that they said a single word they just sat there with us. I don't quite recall their appearance either, they where definetly human looking but overobviously alien, cus of probably green/blue faces. Perhaps their hair looks more like greyish coral.

I was really excited, i remember thinking and talking with my family saying stuff like "how the hell is this possible" and "how are we going to explain this to the rest of the world that we have 2 aliens in our own house." etc. etc.

Woke up, most likely in a FA (but... was pretty sure it was in real life because of the feel i had when i woke up and how tired i was feeling before i slipped into unconsciousness)

Yesterday i dreamed of a women i haven't seen in a while and i wrote down some weird things in my DJ that i can't recall or make much sense of. Today i dreamed of her again and i was notified that she or someone in immediate surroundings is terribly sick..

SP hit fast and felt like a backwards free fall. I think I was ready for it just because I had so many episodes recently.

When I open my eyes, I'm in my room. Everything is blurry like my generic "I haven't done this in a while" type dreams. It's even hard to move, but after a few moments, crystal clear and I'm right out of my bed. The first thing that comes out of my mouth is "Kaomea". I leave my room, round the corner, and I see a girl in the shower. She's wearing shorts and and a tank top, and has curly long black hair. I said "Kaomea?", and she nodded. I quickly walked out of the way (to let her regain what little privacy she had) and waited for her to leave my bathroom.

When she came out, I let out a sigh of relief, and told her "it's about time". We headed outside, and I told her about my Poseidon dream. Some other girl I didn't recognize came up to her, and said that they had to leave. Kaomea told me she had to go....I think it had something to do with seeing other people in their dreams. I thought it was kinda abrupt, but whatever.

I tried creating a portal so I could venture off somewhere and she came to watch me and cheer me on, but after about three attempts, I decided to do something different. I grabbed on to a piece of grass, and pulled on it. This in turn revealed that it was a trap door. I jumped down it, but instead of it being a portal, it lead me through this tiny access way. I emerged back in front of my house, and my brother came out, and started telling me something about how I broke his lawnmower. I didn't know what he was talking about, but my lucidity had faded. And I didn't know wtf was going on.

Thursday:
I was on a boat (a Cruise ship). I was in a room with bunkbeds.I had just removed my shoes and put them underneath a desk in the room. A person I know just came into the room and sits down on the bottom bunk. But at that moment the ship started swaying VERY badly..but the strange thing is--it was sunny outside. Then the dream scene shifted to the same person &I racing down a terminal to a plane (I have no shoes on). We just manged to catch the plane and go to our seats. When the plane was on the runway..two mice who look like Gus and Jaq, are racing down the runway and Gus just is able to get to the wheel before it takes off. The plane went kind of wonky.. and the camera showed me that..there was no piolit or co-pilot in the cockpit. So I rushed into the cockpit and flew the plane..straight into a hangar. (the only thing I'm sure off is the shoes&desk is a metaphor about me spending to much time at a computer and not enough time outside)


Friday:
I was in a mansion, in a room which was all white..it had 4 pianos. Each one had a different "sound" to it. One on the far left, sounded like it hadn't been tuned for awhile. Well the one on the oppiste side was a bit too loud. I was playing the former piano and I notice a ghost coming towards me. It looked like however she had died she died in her bedroom. When she got close enough I saw her have RED eyes.

Saturday:
i was on a subway with mom. We were at the stop she want us to get off at. Somehow I lost her and had to walk through the entire subway train to get off. Two women, looking like two people I knew helped me get off the subway and up an eslcator. Before we got outside, we passed a shoe store with a moral of princesses (not Disney). One side of the store had shoes outside of it and the plaque above it said "Peggy's shoes". I did find mom eventually.

notes

I was playing football with some family/friends outside my grandparents' house, when I got poked in the eye and couldn't see. I went into the house to wash my eye out, but when I looked in the mirror, there was nothing wrong with my eye and I could suddenly see perfectly out of it.. so I realized I must be dreaming. I looked over at the hand towel and tried to levitate it.. it worked.. lucid

I walked outside and proclaimed loudly to all the DCs in the area that I was lucid dreaming. They seemed unimpressed, so I took to the air to fly around and figure out what to do. I flew away from my grandparents' house and began to throw fireballs at the surrounding landscape. I hadn't done this in awhile (lucid drought), so it took some practice to get back in the groove. As I continued to manipulate the fire with my mind, I realized I had flown to a forest.. in fact, it was the Forest of Denn!

I landed and checked out my surroundings. I appeared to be near a clearing in the forest where there was a small lake, covered in fog. I walked toward the lake and noticed a giant dragon worm. It rose up out of the lake, with the body of a giant worm, about 15 feet wide and rising about 35 feet out of the water. I call it a dragon worm, because the head was shaped like a dragon's, with a lizard tongue that was slashing about and hissing as it oscillated slowly back and forth, as if dancing. I recalled my current task to slay a beast and began to charge the dragon worm with a snarl growing in my throat.

I reached the edge of the lake and jumped/flew into the dragon, colliding with the side of the massive beast and latching onto its leathery skin. I forgot completely about the armor I had bought previously, and was solely focusing on the attack. It quickly became apparent that I *would* need my weapon, so I closed my eyes and visualized my glowing orange shardblade in my hands. As soon as I felt the grip in my fingers, I opened my eyes and began slashing at the worm while still holding on with my left hand and legs.

Even tho I was making gashes in the thick skin, the worm didn't seem to even notice. It continued to sway, but now started spinning around, as if trying to sling me off. I realized that I needed to attack it at a weak point. From where I was latched on, I could see a small hollow at the base of its throat which appeared to be a good place to start, but it was out of my reach, and the worm was spinning and swaying too violently for me to climb up to it. Then, I had an idea..

I collected myself as the monster continued to gyrate, and then let go, allowing myself to be slung free from its body. As I did, I turned and locked my eyes on the hollow of the throat. When I reached the apex of my flight - before I started to fall down to the lake - I launched myself straight at the beast, sword outstretched and focused intently on the hollow of the throat.

When I reached the body, my sword thrust deep into the throat with a slurping sound. The worm began to gurgle and flop around even more frantically.. then it slowed and hissed as it fell away into the lake. I jumped from the body and hovered over the lake as it fell and watched it slap the water's surface and sink down. Something caught my attention and I glanced at the shore. A very small dragon was flying over to inspect the drowning worm. It's head was identical to the beast's I had just slain, but it had a full dragon body and not that of a worm. It flapped it tiny wings rapidly as it cocked its head from side to side, a puzzled look on it's face. It hit me that this must be the giant dragon worm's offspring.

I remembered that my next task was to tame a beast... so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to do just that. I flew closer to the little dragon and it backed away, seeming to notice me for the first time. "What's your name, cowboy?" I asked. Suddenly the word 'Chomper' was spoken in my mind - a high-pitched but masculine voice resonating - as the dragon cocked its head.

"Ok, Chomper, I think we should be friends.." I said, as I moved closer. The dragon seemed unsure, but didn't pull back. As I got close enough to touch Chomper, he shot some fire breath at my hand. I jerked back reflexively, but then moved forward again. He put out a continuous gout of flame at my hand, a hint of frustration in his eyes. As my hand began to touch the flame, I slowly caused the fire to fizzle and disperse, until there was no fire left and my hand was up against Chomper's nose. He cocked his head and stared at me incredulously as I stroked his nose.. then he began to giggle and laughed out loud, showing all his teeth in a large smile.

Chomper flew over and alit on my shoulder, playfully expelling a puff of flame that singed my eyebrows. I flew over to the lake shore and dropped to my feet. Chomper hopped down as well. I felt confident that I had my new companion, but he sure was small for battling monsters and the like, so I decided to try something.. "Chomper, GROW!" I said out loud. And he did. As I continued to look at him, I willed him to grow to about 3 times my size.

I looked around for something for us to fight. There was nothing. Wait... There was something down the shoreline crouching low behind a tree. It looked like a panther laying in wait for an ambush.. I stared straight at the animal and said
"Chomper, BURN!" He then let out a burst of flame that took out half of the shoreline of trees in the direction I was looking. I couldn't help laughing out loud. I walked over to where the panther had been to find everything - including the panther - charred and smoldering. Chomper seemed quite pleased with himself.

I was about to feed the roast panther to Chomper when the dream started to fade.. and I decided to just let it.

This was the most fun LD I've had in awhile. I had been in a drought for the last couple of weeks, but this was the 2nd in 3 days, so hopefully it will put me back in the groove

I seemed to coriograph my dream. As I would think it, so it happened.

I was escaping something. It seemed as though I was watching a movie from the standpoint of one of the characters.

Other folks were running away on land. I saw a waterfall and thought that one might escape that way, but it would be dangerous as you could slip on rocks if you jumped to a lower level. There I was jumping to the next level down on the waterfall.

The waterfall was a couple more levels down to the bottom and I had to finish my jump. I jumped down, but instead of a waterfall level, it was some steel structure. I landed on it and jumped off to the pool below. I thought how someone could just dive in, but it might be shallow, so they would have to come back up pretty much immediately, and that is exactly what I did.

Now I saw the other people running about a hundred feet away in the day. There was brush for cover. I was away from them. I thought I had a better chance of escaping if I were separate from the crowd. It was night where I was.

I was crouched down in a forest of large trees. Men on horseback came riding past. There were about 10 of them. I didn't know why they didn't see me, but they didn't.

The dream skipped to where I was somewhere else. There was a college campus scene, which I pretty much forget. Then on to an old ship.

On the ship, there was a communication invention. It worked like Morse Code, but it was made up of several strange pieced to assemble it. I was trying to save it...from something...and because I wanted it and it was valuable, but the main reason was because it had to be kept secret like nostrodomos kept his visions and research secret. It was very mid-evil.

I should have journaled this earlier, but I got most of the salient points.
