memorable

Hello, i am new here, but i will write anyway. i have been lucidly dreaming for a whiloe now, and it is safe to say that i am a master on it. Before i start i will explain something i have found out.
first off, when you dream, you make everything they way you want it to. You design the arcitecture, for example a simple house. It is your subconcious mind that poulates the house you made with people. ALL these people in your dream will be people you have once seen in your life. (even if you dont remember) the brain is a wonderful thing. EVERYTHING you see hear smell say taste experienc or do is recorded pixel (ecuse the expression) perfect into your brain. It is tucked away. So, before you go to sleep, you imagine a house. (for beginners) you subcoinsious mind will populate that house with people. For example, you mom or dad, or brother or sister. Everything you say to them and they way you interact with them is from your subconsios mind. You CAN however, change the outcome and manupulate the output of your mind. althoug you cannot contro;l someone being there, you may be able to erradicate then with a finger snap. Whn i dream lucidly, i bring a totem with me. >For example a top. i keep itin my pocket when i sleep. that way, if i spin the top and it spins forever or its not there, then i know im dreaming. no need to pinc yourself, ect... brin dsomething with you. i put it back into my pocekt, and then i look around... i see.. white. pERFECT. a canval. i will think up my world, an emplty world building houses cars smells, ect. then my subconsious mind will put people into it. i can then interact with it. your subconsious mind dosent like you to mess around with it, it is designed to defend itself. for exam[le, in one of my lucid dreams, i was trying to remember a password to an email account i have forgotten. i knew it was in my mind. So imagined a bank with a huge ass safe. that treiggered my brain to think, ok its a safe, lets put something in it. (prior to goint to sleep, i referenced my brain to my password) my subconsious mind put in the password. But it was locked. One of my friend used to be a safecraker (in RL) so i found him (dont ask me how, i dont even know) and he started cracking the safe. but guess what my subconsious mind did, it just randomly put on armed secutrity guards... thats when i come in and make a gun appere. Ya you got it., a gun battle, like in the movies. My friend finally gets the safe open, and i barely make it in there alive, i read it: yes it is my password. my brain tucled it away and i "forgot" it, but now i remembered it... then i get hit in the chest and die... thats when i wake up. When you die you wake up. that is my first day, and introduction according to what i have experienced. i will get into dreams within dreams with dreams (ect) later. (its relly cool, trust me)

Technique: MILD
Non-lucid Lucid Real life
I havent meditated for a good couple months, although I always considered it beneficial and I enjoyed doing it. Having gotten back into lucid dreaming a week or so ago (an absence of almost a year, I used to and still can lucid dream at will), I also got back into conscience awareness and meditation. I did a basic silencing the mind meditation for 20 minutes, then fell asleep using MILD.

My dream started off with me walking out of a building/courthouse with my mom, and she said something very odd, so I did a reality check.
I did a nose RC and instantly became fully lucid. The dream was extraordinarily vivid, and I felt completely aware, and in control. I started by simply looking around and sat down in the road and touched the ground. It had tons of pebbles, like any road in RL, and I could feel them perfectly. I knew I was going to have a long lucid dream, and decided first to call someone to complete the TOTM. I was messing with my phone, but couldn't find my contacts. I didn't really feel like it was a good TOTM and couldn't remember the advanced one, so instead I decided to jump off of a skyscraper. I flew high into the air, then said "eh, fuck it I'm high enough" and just went into a free fall. I fell a few hundred feet very calmly and happily, and stopped an inch above the ground. Being done with my free fall, I closed my eyes and teleported somewhere, not deciding where, just wanting to go somewhere else.
I found myself in a car, driving down an empty highway, not liking the idea of driving in a dream, I flew through the hood and landed back on the highway. Now it was full of cars. I went on all fours and started running. I got faster, and I got bigger. In just about two seconds I was larger than most office complexes, and running faster than the speed of light. I was crushing all the cars, and decided to make my hands more crushy. I turned them into giant black masses that looked like the hammerfist transformation in prototype. I saw a large black building and decided to get off the highway, and jumped into it, midair turning into a giant beast that looked somewhat like Spidermans Venom, and smashed 1/4 of the building off, with wires and pipes everwhere.
When I crushed it I turned back into a normal sized human, floating above the wreckage, and I saw a couple police cars on the road with their sirens on. I blinked and teleported into the uncrushed part of the building.
I lost lucidity, whether cause of the police or what happened next idk. It seemed like I just lost awareness, but I was still calm. I forgot something that happened in between the teleporting and this, but next I remember I was given a heavy machine gun by some guy, looked like Price from Call of Duty. He didn't say anything (I never talk to DCs) but when he gave me the gun I had a HUD show up, showing my health, a crosshair, and unlimited bullets, and some bar that didn't seem to have a purpose. I went in, and there were two fat guys with miniguns (they looked like Heavys from Team fortress 2, they were even cell shaded, but had black shirts and a black hat/beanie, like a thief). I circled them both (Price disappeared) and whenever my crosshair went onto one of them it would turn to static for some reason. I shot them both a bit when I saw the static, but it seemed as if the bullets went through them.
Then I woke up, I opened my eyes instantly, and looked around a little, feeling the calm awareness from meditating. I noticed the lights were on, and immediately went to write down in my notebook DJ. I wrote a half a sentence, looked at it (trying to remember more) and I read up until the last word, and then it became blurry and all of a sudden
I woke up. The dream lasted at least 30+ minutes.
The fact that the Heavys were cell-shaded interests me, I'm going to eventually apply that to the rest of the dream world, and make it look like a dream borderlands. I do remember once having a non-lucid where I saw a cartoon character. It was either Peter from Family Guy, or some fat guy, it was hard to remember. Having both those experiences, I know I can have a cartoon dream, and I'm going to try to have a 2d cartoon dream eventually... once I figure out how it'd look/work...

July 20, 2010
Slept between 2am-9:30am

2a-4:30a
Woke up an hour before my scheduled WBTB, really needing the washroom Did not recall any dreams. I went to the couch and got comfy, but then I thought that maybe I should try to WILD from bed today. Jack and I had a bit of a fight last night (more like me bitching at him ). I heard my lucid weaver 90 mins later for the WILD. I rolled over and tried to think about the music I used for my anchor yesterday, but I passed out! I think my bed is too comfy for WILDing

4:30a-8a
Hungry like a wolf
There was an odd little bit where I was thinking about my failed WILD attempt in the back of my head throughout this dream.

I was at work and very, very hungry. I was working an 8a-8pm shift and only had a bagel with cream cheese my entire shift.

One of the cleaners (who, IRL, does manage a restaurant) offered to make me something (we have a bistro in the basement). I was grateful, but he forgot about his offer and never made me any food.

Petra (co-worker/shift relief) came in and asked me if it was okay to do some shopping. I looked at the time and realized she was already 8 minutes late. I told her no, and she looked crestfallen.

[Flintstone's plane?]
I'm sitting in the backseat of a plane and my feet are hanging out the bottom. I have them held up, because we're flying VERY close to the grass. It's tall grass, mind, about 3 feet. But, we were skimming the tops of it! It grew darker outside and we passed over these tiny houses, made of felt. They were the size of dog houses, but I was told people live in them.

As we kept passing over, more houses were covered in cotton. I was told it was for insulation.

We reached the field clearing at the end. Petra said, "Let's build our mansion here!" I got a visual of a Sims-like grid and the wall tool (hehe).

I replied, "Isn't that kind of insulting? Building a nice mansion RIGHT NEXT to these poor people? I don't think we should build here."

8a-9:30a
Jack's alarm woke me, but I passed out again.

[Elevator]
I found myself in this elevator, just reaching the ground floor. I held the door open for these tons of little kids. I helped ensure everyone was on and not about to get smushed by the closing door before I let it shut.

[Lucid House]
I recognize the feeling of weightlessness quite randomly, but I don't clue in that it's a dream. I explain to myself that this is a house that produces feelings of lucidity. I push off the ground and I'm floating. This house is really cool! For some reason, I start floating around the room (I'm in a kitchen) singing Taylor Swift's "You Belong to Me." I think again about the lucidity in this house and I finally realize the absurdity at what I'm doing

I see a glass door (one of those slidey patio doors) near me. "I've never tried to go through glass before, I wonder if I can do it?" I thought. I drifted towards the glass to go through it, but my forehead went thump! against it. The glass felt cold and I felt the bump, but it didn't hurt.

I walked back to the other side of the room (which was now entirely empty, by the way) and braced myself to run for it. I quickly shot through my mind, "What if this destabilizes the dream? What if it doesn't work? Oh well, I'll give it this shot, and if it doesn't, then I'll go do something else." I ran at the glass, and I felt it give way around me! I slowed wayyyy down. The glass felt like cold, but quite viscous slime as it slid around my body. I was afraid I was going to be stuck like this, but I willed myself through the glass, and came out the other side with a POP! That was a really cool experience!

I was in the backyard. "Danny?" I said, out loud, calling out to my DG. He appeared out of nowhere. I was suddenly overcome with this really strong desire to hug him, so I threw my arms around him.

He was surprised, but said, "Hey!" to me, with a laughter in his voice. I marveled at how real this hug felt, but even still, I felt the dream sliding away.

I looked up at him. "Can you come into my regular dreams and tell me I'm dreaming?" I asked, quickly.

He smiled at me, "Sure, I can."

I went back to hugging him as I "woke up."

[False awakening]
I "woke up" next to Jack. We were sleeping in a tent in a backyard. I checked my watch. It was only 7:20 in the morning, but I was so excited about the lucid dream I had, that I wanted to blog it right away! I went inside the house. The kitchen was a disaster. I found a plate of half-eaten waffles. I didn't fancy eating those, but I did see a large mixing bowl with mal-formed, but uneaten waffles in there. I grabbed a handful's worth and stuffed it in my mouth. They were all syrupy, buttery and insanely yummy.

[Same FA, but scene jump]
I was lying down on a long couch. Jack's mum was reading a book at the end of it. She says to our DC-host (the house owner), "I love coming to your house. It's like Christmas every time!"

"Mm-hmm!" I agree.

"What part of it did you not like?" Jack's mum asked me, mis-hearing me.

"I didn't say that, I was agreeing with an mm-hmm," I explained. I woke up for real.

This is my first attempt at LD and writing down my dreams.
somewhere on here i read that drinking applejuice would help with recall or have longer more vivid dreams. so i drink some before bed.
Sure enough, last night's dream was intense! I remember i was hanging with some friends walking in a parking lot, when this guy in a brand new yellow lambo pulls up. My friends say "oh thats so and so, hes a d-bag" or something like that, and the dude driving is like, hop in, im bout to get some lunch. so im like fuck it, when am i going to get another chance to be in a lambo??? we're zipping down the freeway in some random city like 150 mph. somehow i end up in another car trying to chase him, but obviously i wasnt able to keep up.
moral of the story, the interior was sick nasty! all black and yellow, like a bumble bee.
sort of wished i had RC'ed, that would have been better!

Day 2 of my journey and another false awakening! Here's how my first dream went.

I "wake up" in my bed at home. I go upstairs and complain to my parents that I couldn't remember any dreams from the night before. I am very frustrated because I had told myself the night before that I was going to recall my dreams. This frustration stayed with me for the majority of the dream. Then, I got in our old family truck and drove to my high school (I have already graduated). It was the first day of school and we were given a quiz. Although normally very good at school, I couldn't get one question right on the quiz. My teacher tells me she's disappointed in me and gives me a packet of practice problems to work out. Then. I start talking to a girl in my graduating class about how I couldn't remember my dreams from the other night. She tells me not to worry and that she didn't remember hers either. I was then suddenly in the weight room of the school lifting with a few of my high school friends. I was contemplating what lift I wanted to do when my friends left. I heard girls voices outside the door of the weight room and the weight coach (who I never liked) came inside so I decided to leave. Outside the weight room was a girl (who graduated a year before I did) and I said "Hi" to her and she simply said "Hi John". I then walked out of the school and it was night time. I talked to one of my sister's friends about how her indoor soccer was going and she complained about it. I then tried to walk to my car but I couldn't. For some reason I was walking like a drunk and kept falling down a running into cars as i tried to get to my car. It was as if school let out because everyone was going to their car but no one helped me get to mine. I finally get to a car with three people sitting in it, my grandma and an elderly couple. (Their lights were off so I couldn't tell who they were or if I even knew them in RL). I ask my grandma (who was sitting in the back seat) if she could help me get to my truck. She then proceeded to give me a lecture on the dangers of asking strangers in cars without lights on for help.

Second dream!

My girlfriend and I are laying in a bed in what appears to be my grandparents bedroom in their old house with my parents (very odd). We are all watching a show on a very small TV. My parents get out of bed to brush their teeth and take showers but my girlfriend and I stay in bed. We start making out when my dad informs me that we need to go upstairs. When we arrive upstairs it's no surprise that it is the upstairs of my grandparents old house. When we arrive upstairs though, there is another couple up there already. I don't know who these people were but the man was very skinny and the woman was very fat (looked like they were a joke or something). We took a long time to arrange our beds the way they "needed" to be arranged and then when we finally laid in them my dad yelled for me to come to the kitchen. I went to the kitchen and my parents are cooking some kind of casserole with tortilla chips, mac & cheese, and hamburger meat. They tell me that we are going to my great grandparents' apartment to have brunch. I ask them what time and they say 7 p.m. I ask them why eating at 7 p.m. is called brunch and not dinner and they didn't answer. I tried the casserole and it was surprisingly very good. It was crunchy and soft at the same time and had a variety of tasty flavors. I concluded that old people must just call every meal brunch and went back upstairs. When I got back upstairs though, it was no longer the upstairs of my grandparents old house. It was now the playroom of my old house. The skinny man and fat woman were still there. I saw that my iPhone was dying so I plugged it into the computer. For some reason I couldn't figure out where to plug it in so it took much longer than I wanted it to. After I finally plugged it in, a video of me popped up on the screen of the TV in the playroom. It was a video of me singing about football. I was considerably younger in the video than in the dream and I didn't like the video but I couldn't figure out how to stop it. Suddenly my mom is upstairs telling me how to turn it off. When she turns it off though, pictures of me from my phone start popping up on the TV. In frustration I just pick one picture on my phone to have on the TV so I don't have to mess with it anymore. Then my girlfriend and I walk into my old bedroom and start making out again. We are rolling around on the floor when suddenly she screams. I look at her for a second and ask her why she did that. She doesn't answer and just looks at me.

I am very pleased to have more vivid and complete dreams last night. In only the second night of consciously attempting dream recall I have made significant progress. I'm beginning to discover my dream signs. I know high school is one of them. Family, singing, old houses, and friends seem to also be my dream signs. I've been able to interpret some of my dreams just by writing them here too. For instance, the first dream I had last night came from my subconscious being nervous that I wouldn't remember my dreams. Hopefully, this subconscious worry will help me to remember more and more dreams. I am excited to sleep now every day! So far so good on my LD journey!

Now the world is gone, I'm just one...

I wake up in my bed. I am naked, I wonder at the fact that it's already time for me to awaken, since it feels as though I've only just fallen asleep. I'm about to leave my room, but on the way out I lean against the wall near my door, pressing my forehead against it. 'How can I know whether I'm dreaming, or awake? It's all the same... How can I know any of this is even real... Keep sleeping to dream, because I hate my life, hoping I'll come out of it better, with some shred of something I can use, something to inspire, to move, to find an answer, an escape. But sleep just seems to install new bars into this cell. How can I even know I'm not dreaming right now.'

For the fuck of it, I flip the light switch just beneath my head on and off. Nothing happens. I look at the ceiling, the walls. Everything is here. The mask hanging from my door, the books, the silvery rays coming in through the window. I realize I'm not awake, but still asleep. I reflect for a few moments on how detailed and vivid everything is, how 'real' it is, nothing missing. Realizing this doesn't make me happy or excite me, but instead fills me with a feeling of isolation. The walls no longer real, just pictures of walls, the idea that beyond them, isn't a real city, no apartment, no livingroom, no father... Beyond these walls there isn't a home, because these walls aren't real. They're just my memory of them. And what of the real walls? Those don't build a home, either. I'm upset by the lack of comfort, familiarity, of reality, since this 'room' is just a 'ruse'. My malaise deepens as I reflect on how, 'the real thing', isn't actually any better. What was I expecting?

An anatomically correct digital rendering of someone's face, speaking, crying... The 'realness' of it isn't moving, but disturbing, soul-less. It looks so real, it's 'correct', but it isn't. It isn't comforting. It's unnerving, you become suspect of something so... Accurate, but, lifeless. A doll.

I pull on a pair of jeans and start to slide my belt through the loops. I stop partway through fastening the belt, realizing the pointlessness of getting dressed in a world that consists of only me. I think, I don't want to know what's outside of these walls. And I don't have to, I can leave another way. I open the window and remember how I'd been thinking about jumping out of it. Well, now I can. I remember how much I think about punching it until it breaks, when I'm mad. I slide the window as far open as it'll go, but it refuses to open far enough to let me jump out of it, it jams.

So I punch the window. It doesn't give. 'This is MY DREAM, and you BREAK.' I put my fist through it, it shatters, shredding my knuckles open and raking the flesh off my arm as it goes through. My arm is 'reforming' as quickly as it's being torn apart, as I need to thrust several times to knock out all of the leftover shards. Knots of scartissue creep up my arms like ribbons, replacing the gashes. I rip the frame out of the window and toss it behind me.

For a moment I question whether I'm really dreaming, or just having delusions of grandeur before I jump out of a window and kill myself. 'I'm going to fly,' and I close my eyes and rocket out of the window, or so I think. Turns out I actually just jumped REALLY HIGH. I float back down onto a building lined up right beneath my window. Looks like a warehouse. I am alone. I consider making someone to travel alongside me, consider summoning a DC. I start forming one, particles aligning in the air. I delete it before it materializes completely. There's no point. She's hollow. A shell. Like building a robot of a woman. I can't bring myself to do it. I have to just move forward and hope there's something at the end, hope I'll find someone, find somewhere.

The fastest way to the other side of the warehouse is 'through', so I slide the door open and go in. Inside is a 'panic room', the walls made of steel. I hear the door behind me bolt shut. It's silent, just like outside. Nothing, no one, is in here. I shake my head and laugh, egging on my subconscious. 'I can't be kept in here. Is this supposed to make me afraid?' I go to the far wall and sock it. It leaves a huge dent, but no opening. I take my finger and use it as a laser cutter, slicing out portions of the wall until I have a square opening big enough to step through.

It opens up into a roof top. It's a beautiful day. The sun is out. Everything is clean. Deserted. I look down onto the empty streets below. I snap my fingers and people appear. Down below, their cellphones go off, chewing gum, laughing, signing each other, driving, eating, biking, unknowing. I want to believe they're real, that I can save them, have a meaningful interaction with one if I just greet with selective blindness, be the king of ants. But I can't swallow it. I snap my fingers again and they disappear.

I have to keep moving... Find something, anything, other than this horrible quiet, or the alternative- synthetic companionship. I jump from roof top to roof top, on and on for miles... The buildings slowly become more and more decayed, crumbling, wisteria growing through the old concrete and splitting it. I reach the last rooftop. I've reached the 'end'.

It's a white sand beach, with colorful shells scattered about, and then the ocean, all around. This is the land's end, the very end, and there is nothing else. I look around for someone else, some sign of life, evil, good- either, something other than just.... This. I can't stand how beautiful it is, the perfect waves, the flawless sand and sun, but my heart drained of all enthusiasm. The 'perfect day', unthinking, fills me with agony and isolation. I drop to my knees and thrust my hands out in frustration, reel back and start to scream at the sky. I want to eject this pain, vomit all of it out, be capable of feeling something besides 'empty', 'broken'.

My scream starts out as a human scream, faintly echoing back to me through the hollow corridors of the buildings behind me. I keep screaming, and the scream grows into an otherworldly roar, screeching into the perfect blue. The scream develops earthquakes, the sea shoots up around me in spikes of black water, jutting into the sky, which grows dark, and the wind begins to howl. The clouds and the waves, claw at each other, meeting in the air. Lightning snaps all around, dead sea creatures rise, cooked, to the surface. Cyclones form, hurling debris around me. The tide creeps up and fills all of the sea caves, swallows the buildings, swelling higher and higher, engulfing the land, then, crushing it in a fist of water and black ice. The sky has opened up into the sea, reaching into it, an enormous gaping maw.

I get a view of myself from within the mouth of the sky. A tight cylinder around my body upward, is the only space that is dry, a beacon of sand and light in the havoc. I'm on my knees, still screaming, long hair coiling and snapping like snakes around my head. The rest of me is frozen, fingers curled in agony and frustration, as the scream just rolls on and on out of my body. I'm trying to eject everything, purge it, but it just keeps going. I keep screaming hard and harder, waiting to 'run out' of pain, run out of the need to scream, but the pain doesn't go away. I'm trying to 'let out' something that's endless. The world is destroyed, but the pain goes on, never emptying. The cup continues to fountain and overflow.

This is pointless. I stop. The sky reforms, the tide sucks back into the sea, the sand dries, the buildings reappear, the sun peers back through the clouds. There isn't any trace of what just happened, anywhere in sight. No sight of the pain. It's hidden again. Perfect again. Quiet. It feels the same. I lay on my back in the sand, motionless, wishing my life, my dream, would make up its mind. Please start, or just be over with. This isn't living, and this isn't dreaming. It's over. It fades to black.

I find myself in some sort of room. I don't there are four couches in the room, two side-by-side facing the other two in the same position. Sitting on the couches is a motherly and fatherly figure, and possibly their huge family.
The mother announces "How about we go play Laser Tag?" To which, the children shout and yell for joy. Next thing I know, they're attaching frozen fingers to their fingerless hands.
While they are doing this the children sing a song I've decided to title "It's Eyes". Don't ask.

Really disturbing dreams last night...

-I've gotten a notebook dream journal and have kept up with my dreams, but I really don't feel like posting all of them, so the latest one....-


Friends, Flying, Highway
I was getting in a little kids toy jeep thing and driving it down the shoulder of oncoming traffic on a highway, at night. All I could see were the headlights of the vehicles. I was going really fast in the kids toy jeep and I started to drive out of control. I got scared and jumped out of it, and my friend V and another girl was there, we had just came from some kind of talent show? I start running down the highway, still towards the oncoming vehicles, and then I ran across the road to the grass that was in the middle of the two roads. There was a white car driving in the grass ahead of me, and I started to run faster. Then I leaped up, and the view was looked like what you would see if you were in an airplane, (I imagine.) I see land, water, and roads.

Then I remember trying to figure out where I was, I had asked someone "What's on top of New York?" (lol)

July ??, 2010

Meant to type this out sooner

Synopsis: A party gets rowdy, my dad is drunk and kind of scary. Afterward I become lucid and a voice tells me to find the Goddess of the Dried Lake. I fly and fly and even fly right through my Inner Sanctuary

Night Time Note: I slept with a stone underneath my bed, chrysocolla. But this was the only night I had any weird dreams.



Drunks in my Room!
The family is throwing some sort of party. At the same time I'm letting guests in my bedroom to see my awesome paintings, so it's like a party and an art opening all at once. It was a nice big house too, not our little apartment.

It's getting late, and I want these party people to leave my bedroom. But then here comes dad standing by the door way, drunk. He's swaying back and forth, and it's making me real uneasy. He comes stumbling towards me, and I don't like it. So I fly out my window.

I'm standing on the curbside with my sister and others. We all want to leave this crazy party. But then I get worried about my precious paintings. Damn, those drunks are going to ruin my paintings! I fly back into my bedroom but it's completely empty.

My dream fades into a new one

Goddess of the Dried Lake
I fly out the back window into a surreal landscape. It's a garden right outside my bedroom window. But the garden is fake, like in the Truman show, the sky is really a painted wall.

A voice speaks to me and makes me lucid "Find the Goddess of the Dried Lake"

I see an image of the dried lake beneath me. There are round ripples in the dried mud. The mud itself glistened with a rainbow of colors. Kind of like when you can see a rainbow in grease spills, except this was dried mud. It was beautiful actually.

The voice then tells me that a man will help me find the Goddess of the Dried Lake. She gives me a name, but I don't remember the name . Even during the dream I kept having to repeat the name because I kept remembering it wrong. All I know is when I woke up, I realized the name was the name of a mineral.

So I've got my dream goal! Find the Goddess of the Dried Lake! I flew and flew and flew and flew and flew! Through houses and hallways, hotels, malls, cities, and towns. I had no real plan

I fly through a valley hoping I'd see signs of a dried lake. Instead I found this weird man-made construction with giant rubbery-plastic pipes. They were minty-green in color. It sort of looked like a giant freakish car engine. Except it's the size of a house. I didn't like it! I try to transform into a gargoyle but the most I get are claws. I rip apart the plastic pipes while growling! Some random DCs see me and are shocked that I destroy this.....thing. What ever it was.

I fly away satisfied I destroyed the freakish engine.

I'm over another town. I'll never find the dried lake at this rate! I need to go up. Just as I think that I start to float higher and higher and higher, as if I'm on an invisible elevator. Soon I can see the whole city below me for miles and miles, and it's surrounding country side. That must be where the dried lake is!

I fly into a forest.

It's magically enchanting! The trees were so tall and lush I couldn't see the sky, only a few streaks of blue and white. I fly deeper into the beautiful forest and I'm greeted by a group of stags. They had gentle kind faces and seemed to like me. Their antlers were so long and intricate! I admire their antlers by stroking them.



It goes completely over my head that I've entered my Inner Sanctuary, a dream goal I've set up for myself. The first time I entered my Inner Sanctuary, a friendly stag greeted me and introduced me to the forest.

Instead I think "No! Don't get distracted! You have to find the dried lake!" Me idiot!

I fly out of the beautiful forest. My dream search gets more desperate and desperate. I'm flying through bedrooms into bedrooms, into closets into closets. And now I feel like time is running out, and DCs are after me. I lose control, I forget why I was flying or what I'm looking for. And then I wake up.

Who is the Goddess of the Dried Lake and who is the man who is supposed to help me find her?

I have known and been able to recall this dream now for a good eight years, but this is the first time I have written the piece.

The dream began showing a meadow on a high up mountain, which contained a school walls as a border as well as desks. The teachers were being put under mindcontrol by a witch via spiders and ants hidden inside colorful animal shaped toys (I can only recall seeing a blue, plastic whale).
The scene switched to my house, which happened to be a cabin on the spire of the mountain (which oddly enough didn't have snow). A few classmates and I were talking about the strange recent events when we decided we wanted to put a stop to it, so, when night fell we climbed down the mountain to the school. I noted a large lake with a sign reading "The Witch's Lake" with a fisherman fishing along the shore.
The children and I destroyed the toys by throwing them in the lake. We realized the man was gone but he had left his fishing rod. It was perched in the ground against the far wall with the hook still in the water; this created a barrier of fishing line that could only be passed by crawling under it. A boy told me that if you touched the line, the witch would be awakened and turn us into mules.
One by one the class crawled under the line, leaving me for last. While going under, my back hit the line, causing the floater to bob before the witch appeared. She had long, blonde hair and paper white skin. She wore nothing but her body and no detail.
I scrambled to my feet and ran for the exit of the school-meadow, I reached it before she could catch me; which must have caused a curse because she, after shrieking terribly, turned into a mule. After briefly rejoicing, I started the long climb up the mountain to my home.
The dream ended with a far away view of the mountain, revealing it to be floating high in the sky, and not attatched to the land.

Epic future movie:

I was watching some movie about me traveling back and fourth in time. This was very vivid and really early in the morning. I was watching it as a movie, but would morph into the actual movie. I remember I cried a lot because a lot of my friends died and it was just so amazing. I remember when I was old, I actually felt old. There was a man. He told me that the present moment was a waste of time and that the past and future was all we ever had. This had something to do with another dimension and it made sense at the time. My dad showed me this video. I was looking on facebook and seeing all my friends that were dead in the future and was crying. There was some war going on. I still had my Bella, but ended up buying another one. My old bella was still naughty, but the new one was super well behaved. After this experience I went to class in my dining room. The teacher was simulating what to do if a boat sinks. We were trying to swim on my hardwood floor onto a rubber raft. One guy kept messing up and the teacher made fun of him. I kept wanting to ask my teacher about the movie. I found out it was based on a true story.

Kara breakup:
I was gonna go out to eat with Kara. We kept going from restaurant to restaurant fighting about stupid things. Eventually she told me that she slept with another guy josh. I said I did not really care. Eventually she kept being annoying and I broke up with her there. I was dissapointed and decided to go to some gym and play ball. I heard there was a new one being opened and walked my way into what was a new YMCA. I went in and shot some hoops. I could not make one shot and was getting super angry. I decided to leave there and walked to some peaceful stream. I saw two weird people and we ended up getting into some battle sequence. They kept shape shifting and so did I. Eventually they had some guns and I turned into some Siren with a metal body. I had a giant sword and went under water and cut their guns in half. They were searching for some secret stone and ended up telling me of its power. If I had the stones I could go to some healing waters and cleanse myself. I went around mining these special stones until a lady come to me and told me that the stones were not powerful, but that I should go to this water.

WoW adventure:

My mom was going to take my brother, Kara, and I to go eat. By the time she got ready it was already 12 am and the food court was closed. I got super pissed and flipped out on my mom. My brother was annoying me and I called him fat and he ran crying. When this happened I was on some ladder. I went out of my house to some place. I found out that Leo was in town. I was texting him and told him I was pissed that he never told me. I thought that it would be fun for us to go out. I ended up in some World of Warcraft instance and was climbing a ladder. I was with some girl and we were going around a weird spiral. There were some weird enemy's. I fell and was about to hearth when I fell and died. I walked back to my body as a ghost and jumped on some rubber thing on the water. I looked at my watch and it was around 1:00 am. I decided that it was too late to go out and we could do it another time. I went back and continued the instance.

After reading through the website last night I decided to try some of the techniques to recall my dreams. I laid in my bed and remembered the following:

I have a false awakening and wake up in my bed at my old house. I moved out of that house 3 years ago but everything was clear and detailed as it had been when I lived there. I get up from bed, move downstairs into the basement, and find my friend and his girlfriend sitting there on the couch. They look angry at each other. Then, my friend's girlfriend comes over and sits by me instead of my friend. My friend leaves and his girlfriend says that she wants to be with me but I won't allow it. Suddenly, I am in a grocery store that is very bright. I am walking with my friend (same friend in the basement) looking for something. I don't know what we are looking for but we can't find it. Then, I am at my old high school walking with the senior class through the main gym singing a song about freshmen. I have never heard or sang a song about freshmen but this song was clear as day in the dream with clear lyrics and music in the background. As we walked out of the gym, I was suddenly in a chemistry lab looking at a circular metallic blob floating in a glass tube. I am wearing a lab coat and studying this substance for a while and then another man in a lab coat walks in and talks to me. The language is not my own but I seem to understand it. Finally, I have another false awakening in the same bed at my old house and I walk into the playroom upstairs. My friend (same friend that has been in all the other sections of the dream) is sitting at the computer playing Halo 3 and the TV is on. I ask him if he's mad about his girlfriend and he says no and that I should find her and date her. I watch him play Halo 3 for a while and when he dies in the game I go downstairs to search for her. I look all over the house and can't find her.

I felt pretty excited to remember so many fragments of my dreams last night considering I normally do not recall my dreams well. Although each dream were short snippets they all seemed to be connected somehow. I can't wait to sleep tonight to see what new dreams I can recall!

Slept between 12am-10am (Allll right!)

12am-4-something am
FOOD!
I was in a food market, literally surrounded by food.

Inner world!
I don't remember anything before this scene, but I remember standing inside his gorgeous beach house. I could see a white, sandy beach and blue ocean out my living room windows. The walls were a an interesting shade of blue. Like, almost turquoise, but not quite (I'll have to see if I can build this room in sims 3 later). The floors were wood and my furniture was white. The windows were edged in white trimming. It was warm and relaxing. I recall something being said about this being my inner world house, but I can't remember if it was told to me by Danny, or whether I declared it myself.


Here's the Sims 3 rendition...

4am-6am
WBTB. I sat on the couch for a few minutes reflecting on my beach house and thinking about asking Danny to come into more regular dreams to tell me I'm dreaming. Went back to sleep.

Naughty dream
I had a naughty dream involving Jack. 'Nough said!

False awakening
My alarm beeped for my WILD. I saw that Jack was awake and told him about the dream I had. He thought that middle of the night sex would be an appropriate response. I kept thinking, "But what about my WILD, I'll be too awake!" (Priorities?) My alarm beeped again and I realized it was a false awakening with a "Oh, thank god! I didn't miss the WILD!" (Definitely insane)

6am-7am-ish
WILD fail. Got into SP, used music as an anchor. This part went just fine. Transition fail again. I was getting some HI, and decided to try to use it, but it wasn't really happening. I remember thinking to myself, "Give me a scene so I can walk in it!" my brain responds, "Here's a forest path!" Nothing would solidify and I was having troubles visualizing it and keeping it stable. I also tried the roll out technique, but no luck. I tried floating out too, which actually almost worked, but no sight. Just before an hour was up, I went back to bed.

7am-10am
Once again, I don't remember anything before this, other than becoming lucid. I looked up at the sky and thought, "Let's not fly, it tends to destabilize my dream if I do it straight away."

I suddenly remembered MM chat from last night and saying that the intermediate task would be a cinch because I transform into Sailor Moon all the time, so I did! I held my hands up to my chest where my brooch would be, and my clothes glowed and flashed into the sailor fuku

I found myself on an office floor. full of people. Grey floors and an escalator nearby. (Lost lucidity a bit, here) Amongst the DC's were the other senshi. I stood with them for a bit. Something specifically involving Haruka and Michiru here, but I can't recall it. We moved with the group to a lower plaza where there was shopping to be done. Also can't recall much, here. But it seemed like we were there to party.

Then, we're on a beach. I'm beckoned to by Ryan, a character in a soap opera I watch. He and Greenlee are uncovering a nefarious plot being concocted by David. I get a flash that there is a hidden relationship going on between Ryan and Greenlee (fits with the show). We're hunched behind a car. David has this other woman with him around this camp fire. I vaguely recall that he hit her. Something happens and he discovers us. I closed my eyes and snapped my fingers to teleport away!

When I opened my eyes, I was standing back on the floor we had started on, with the grey tiles and the escalator. "Oops! I didn't mean to go back this far!" I thought to myself. There were some administrative ladies behind a desk, looking at me funny. I remember saying something to them about forgetting something and laughing; all embarrassed.

This was my second dream from a couple days ago (7.18.10) and took place when I fell back to sleep after my first two-second lucid experience.

In the dream I woke up, I was in the exact same house that I was ACTUALLY in I noticed that the location of the house was completely different. I was in a city, a very dry city. I have no idea where it was. Maybe I was in a fantasy world? I went down stairs and started doing stuff. My uncles then appeared, interrupting the doing of stuff. I went with them outside (very dry, like a desert) and we started playing a game. We played the game for a little while and then started heading back. I walked with a friend from school (This is the only part of the dream I remember seeing him in) and we talked about places I've traveled and places I would like to travel. Somehow i got separated from the rest of the group and became lost. I wanted to go home but I had no idea how to get there. I finally found a way through and as I was walking through a truck full of archers zoomed by and started shooting arrows at me. I ran and they continued to shoot. One arrow eventually grazed the top of my head (OW!) and I woke up.

Or at least I thought I woke up. Some man was sitting beside the bed and he asked, "What happened?!?!" It turns out this was a false awakening which triggered my waking up for real.

lol there was so many plot changes in this one. it starts at home, apparently my family owns three husky, sledding type dogs. two of them has names are the same as the dogs that we do own IRL. somehow, my sister was responsible for letting all three of them get kidnapped by a group of bad dogs lol. the two had just come back, except the third one, whos name was named after one of our cats, i think the dog was a girl. anyway, i put the dogs in their cages for safe keeping. then i see my sister outside with another person, walking towards the door. this is all at night time, just for reference. she walks in empty handed and i blame her again, i think. then, this dog comes in from the kitchen, and starts talking to us or something. i put my foot down and yell "NO ONE IS TOUCHING MY DOGS EVER AGAIN!!!!", which made the dog step back a lot. but then the dog started summoning his master, which apparently is a giant dog lol, i never got to see it. my sister then gets up to go back outside and search for the last dog again. the person with her doesn't, he stays. i say "im goin to help her!!" and i go outside. then, after a small memory gap, the scenery changes, its still night time though. im next to a building, and im in front of a girl, who im trying to help. im pretty sure it's not my sister anymore, not sure if it was her in the first place. i tell her that im going to help her and she reluctantly agrees. she then pull off this ninja move to get across this ditch type thing. ill make a picture, here:
there were these white, glowing rocks on the edges of the ditch, making a zig-zag pattern. she jumped from one to the other really fast, just like a ninja lol. then i did the same thing, but in smaller jumps, and i didn't hit the rocks every time, i hit the dirt mostly . there was also this metal box thing, like an electrical type box. then, we get to this weird fence area. next to the fence is a tower of sorts, its just a metal and glass box, supported by metal legs. it also had a trampoline underneath it lol. then the girl turned into Sean Connery (wtf?), and started climbing the fence, telling me to follow him in his sean connery voice. i started climbing the fence, thinking it had barbed wire at the top, but it didnt, just a metal fence. when we got to the top, the fence started bending, a lot, like it had no side support at the top. i was like, "i cant do this!!!" and grabbed the ledge to my left, which was connected to the box tower thing. sean connery was very disappointed in me lol. i shuffled on the ledge, so that i would be under the trampoline if i fell. i did, and i hit the trampoline, but when i did, sean yelled something really loud and pertaining to the plot i think. i remembered hearing it before, like deja vu or something. then the entire plot went all screwy. i was in movie camera vision, looking at a giant crowd, like HUGE stadium. they were all there to watch a play version of harry potter lol. they were in a dramatic scene, and i saw this dude in a mechanical chair-crane thing, to support him very high up, the entire play was in mid-air. he was playing the mother, who actually sounded like a woman. she/he said something very dramatic, then i remember thinking, "thats the guy im looking for!!!" thats it.
