memorable

The dream starts me off in the parking lot of my old neighborhood. I am going around looking for something to eat, so I go and grab some subway. The subway is there in the middle of the parking lot, out in the middle of the open with no building around it at all. I then remember ordering a chicken bacon ranch, then driving home and eating it at the same time.

________


I go with some buddies to Mellow Mushroom to drink a few beers and hang out. Don't remember too much of this one...

________

I am suddenly chasing after this kid on a skateboard, and I am on one as well. We start off in the parking lot, and end up right next to each other on the sidewalk. Ahead of us coming up are a couple of cars that are about to cross our paths, and I barely dodge one of them as I hauled ass passed it. The kid I was chasing wasn't so lucky and slammed into the car with a loud and satisfying THUD. With a smile on my face, I keep skateboarding down the sidewalk.

All of a sudden he shows up again in front of me, so I try and use my super-powers to slow him down and spin him out of control. Thats when I realized... I don't have any superpowers, I must be dreaming! I actually said "I am dreaming out loud to myself" to ensure myself. I gathered myself together as I let the kid I was chasing run off into the distance, and remembered one of my lucid goals. So I flew to the nearest woods I was by to face off with that pathetic excuse of a werewolf Jacob Black.

As I was flying over towards the woods, I could already see the body of a large brown bodied wolf chasing after my position in the air by foot. So, I sped up ahead of him and landed in front of him, making an effortless transformation into my own large gray wolf body. I could smell the musk of him, as well as see the anger in his facial expression as he ran on towards me. The sound of deep panting and his large paws hitting the ground was what I heard right before he made the first move.

Leaping onto my side, Jake's jaws were ferociously snapping together trying to go in for the kill. As I lie on the ground, one bite did clip me in the neck. Furious, I got up as quickly as I could and shoved him off. As he stood there for a second, I took my opportunity and lunged for a kill shot. As I leaped towards him, I pressed both of my large front paws onto his chest, toppling him over onto his side. After I recovered from my own leap, I got back up and stood over top of him. He was pinned, and it was time to end it.

I opened my jaws to show my teeth, and bit down on his neck as hard as I could and jerked from side to side.

Then I woke up. What pissed me off is that I never knew if he was going to be dead or not. Also, take note that the lucid dream actually very short, as all of it happened very quickly after I became lucid. I could have used sustaining lucid dreaming techniques, such as spinning or rubbing hands, but that would be somewhat hard in wolf form.

I'm not sure exactly why, but I enjoyed this dream a lot.


<Interesting to note -- in this dream, I "feel" like I'm a few years older, especially near the end, when the plot doesn't really make sense if I'm not older than I am>

The first thing I recall is running for my life alongside a couple other people, in an alleyway. Apparently a zombie infection has struck, and we're fleeing to safety. Some of the city has already been devastated. I spot a ladder to my right, and quickly climb up, to the top of some kind of skyscraper (yes, that would be quite the climb, but I don't think I actually experienced the climb). I reach the rooftop, and I think I'm alone for a while.

My recall is a bit blurry here, but I think I'm concerned that this building might collapse. It has another, slightly smaller building leaning on it. The top part of the leaning building seems to be built out of wood, and the ceiling is mostly broken so that I can see inside. I think there were a few people taking cover in there. I jump into there, and then get inside an elevator, trying to get to the rooftop of another building. The elevator shaft is diagonal rather than vertical, and I'm hoping that nothing is too damaged.

I press the button that will take me to the rooftop. After a long while, I'm still not there, and start wondering if I'll be stuck here and die like this, cursing myself for taking a stupid risk. Thankfully, though, the elevator doors open after a while and I find myself on a large, open rooftop, with a couple swimming pools on it. There are other people there, too. I settle near a pool at one edge of the roof, and set down a bag that I'm carrying. After a few moments, zombies start swarming the roof, having apparently climbed up.

Total chaos ensues. Most of the people don't seem to have weapons and get devoured. Armed with a shotgun and pistol, I manage to hold off the zombies that head towards me. In front of me, near another pool, I see a mother trying to protect her two children, a little boy and girl. The mother dies somehow (I don't actually recall seeing her die), but I see the children still alive, and quickly motion to them to come to me. They do so, and for a while I keep the zombies at bay, but soon they begin gaining ground and things are getting desperate.

At this point, I somehow freeze time. The zombies all stop instantly, though I think the children are not completely frozen. I start trying to figure out if there's a way we can escape from this situation. At this point I realize that my shotgun, my best weapon, is missing. I check in my bag, but don't find it. I wonder if I dropped it in the pool or something, but I can't see it. I ask the little girl (I think through telepathy?) if they have anything that might be of use, and she says they have a shotgun. I tell her that's good news, and I take a look at the weapon. It looks like an oval-shaped, purple alarm clock with several holes in it -- nothing like a gun, but apparently it is.

Before I can do anything else, a small group of people in suits arrive. It seems that time is not stopped anymore, but the zombies are just standing still. One of the people wearing a suit comes up to me, and he explains that the zombies are actually created and controlled by them. He offers me some kind of shady deal for my life, and I refuse. We end up in a close-quarters hand-to-hand battle, and I kill him. I don't recall this very well, but I think I kill several more of the people in suits, who each come up to me individually and try to bargain.

At some point, I agree to a deal, I think with a blonde-haired woman. I don't think she's part of the same organization as the others were, however. Still, I'm worried that she will try to double-cross me, but I figure I don't have much choice. The deal was basically this: I join them, and they will keep the children (and, technically, me) safe. Soon enough, I find myself with the children in a sort of limousine. Also there is a vaguely asian-looking woman with dark, long hair. She seems to be my age (that is, my age irl, 19), but in the dream I am apparently significantly older than her. She is in charge, it seems.

The limo stops, and we get out. We're in some kind of forest-like area, and we approach a lone building, some kind of outpost. There was something we had to watch out for here, but I don't recall if it was mines or zombies. Anyways, we go inside, and I'm greeted pretty warmly by a few people. Apparently these are the "good guys," a group of human survivors trying to rebuild. I chat with them for a while, and they show me my assigned bed, and those for the children.

After that, we start talking about what the group does. It seems that most of the world, at least in this area, has been devastated. Also, this whole disaster apparently started many years ago, so much so that among all these people, I'm the only one who was alive, or at least old enough to remember, in the world before the disaster. As such, I'm treated with a kind of marvel by the others, who are very curious about how things used to be. Apparently, a lot of the old technology has been damaged, and knowledge about how it works has also faded. The girl from the limo explains that teams of a few people are sent out each day to try to scavenge what they can, especially weapons (this brings to mind a sort of "vision" of a futuristic kind of gun which I guess we had "back then") to use against the zombies.

The girl from the limo then starts asking me if I know any programming languages. I tell her I know a few, and then we get into a long conversation about programming languages, and she's fascinated as I talk about some that she's never heard. Apparently this kind of knowledge will be of much use to them. During the conversation, completely seriously, I ask her if she knows what the Internet is/was, and she says she's heard of it but can't imagine it. We keep talking for a while, and apparently my duties will revolve around helping people rediscover/use technology. The dream ended with me feeling happy at how everything turned out.

i think this happened after the "playground" dream. i woke for a moment, then, there were stong vibrations in my chest, as there always are when i start to DEILD. i tried to visualize standing on a mountain looking down upon a city, being the Avatar, a character from a show. i wanted to fly down to it using a glider from the show. but i had trouble visualizing it and it ended up being an island with some sort of theme park on it, it was nighttime. i then saw Sonic the hedgehog standing with two other people beside him, and i decided to be him. the entire time before this, my vision was in the whole movie camera vision. i circled behind him and zoomed in, and became him. but i didnt want to be sonic, so i went into a booth that turned me into the avatar, but the entire time i was in third person. but when i turned into the avatar, i was too short, so i went looking for a stretching machine. i went a few spaces, and found a machine, and turned it on. it didnt work, and i thought "why not?" and tried it again. it worked this time, and made me taller, except it made me into myself. i then tried to fly, without a glider. it worked, except it made me disappear and reappear into someones room. they were watching tv. i think i then woke up, thats the last thing i remember.

---

I wake in the same position I fell asleep: opposite the way I normally sleep, this time with my feet facing the door. I perform a reality check while laying down, confirming I am dreaming. I attempt to sit up but have trouble. I notice a faint bluish glow come from a drawer near my feet. From it, a man appears.

He helps me stand while lucid for the first time in a while by teleporting me off the couch in my current position, as if the couch is what has been holding me back. I look at him, pondering his significant to the dream, and ask if he is willing in able to assist me in my lucid dreaming efforts. He nods very slightly and turns and walks through the door of my room which promptly shuts behind him as I begin to follow his footsteps.

The dream fades to black and I awake in a semi-lucid state on a beach where the sun is setting. I am carrying two surfboards and walking next to a beautiful woman who I understand to be a long-time girlfriend. We are sitting, but decide to stand up and walk down the beach where we find a more suitable spot. I lean in to give my lover a kiss but become paralyzed, waking almost immediately.

---

I took a nap between 11:30 am and 1 pm, and this is my dream I had.

My dad took my sister and I to a place out in the desert. It was nighttime there. We had to work for my dad. He was throwing a giant party for the US army. I can't remember which one, though. A sergeant was standing beside my dad. I was told to stand at the front door, show my "badge" to the people, and tell them where to go. My sister was just supposed to hold the door open on the other side of the building.

Later on, we were in a different place, like in my room at my dads house. It was just a bit brighter. My older sister and her friend were doing a little dance to some cheap music in front of us with dress up clothes. Lol. How funny that was. They walked slowly into a closet, and they never came out. My big sister's robe of some type got hung on the door as she was walking away, and I pulled it off. I just then noticed that my guy friend Mike was there. I think he said, "I dreamt of being superman last night." After hearing this, somehow it didn't occur to me that I might be dreaming. "Spiderman." I replied. (I actually thought I had dreamed of spiderman? What the heck?) "Or this." I indicated to the robe in my hands. (It seemed oddly familiar). Then I must have woken up.

I don't know how I became lucid, i just did. before I became lucid, i had a dream me and my girlfriend bought this really nice big house. i was in the house sleeping with no shirt, when all of a sudden i saw someone in the house. or heard someone, i quickly confronted them. my girlfriend was at work. i went outside with them and there were people tareing up the bricks that made up our front sidewalk. I was ticked, the guy inc harge said it was because we owed the man money who payed for that. my girlfriend came home and found out too. I then explained to the guy that we had just bought the house. I went back inside the house and was for some reason jumping from wall to wall trying to escape from some animal, it came througgh my mind that i was dreaming, but then i doubted myself, but i eventually realized i really was dreaming. I somehow ended up in this building and i walked through a door into another room, I did this a few times and tried to make it so when i walked through the door i would see the starship voyager so i could explore it. but every time i walked through a door i would just walk itno another room. I t hen walked into a room where there was a bunch of people,and i talked to a few people. I walked outside and went into a car with some guy, and i started telling him that he was dreaming. he didn't believe me. I told him i was dreaming too and i was having a lucid dream , and explained to him what a lucid dream was. I told him that i would prove it by jumping on top of a mcdonalds building we stoped the car at. I got out and jumped and flew up . but the mcdonalds building turned into a rocky hill by a body of water. I was jumping from rock to rock trying to run away from a bob cat and jumped into the water, the bobcat jumped into the water too and overcame me. i remember hearing tim allen, from home improvement saying he wishes he wouldn't have gottin into the entertainment industry lol.

The first dream was too small to put.

~Detectives~
My sister and I had come to do some secret mission detective work. This guy led me to a room in which I was to stay a little while, I guess. I can't remember all that happened here.

Later, my sister had gone missing, apparently. I had to go to the nearest hospital to find out. So I looked around a bit, and saw her walking down a long hall. I followed her, but couldn't keep up. She went down some flights of stairs to the right of her, and I tried to follow, but got stuck behind 2 slow people. So as we got to the stairs, I slipped past them and tried to catch up with her.

I appeared in some movie theater, and started making my way up. I had to go through rows of people, and saw a girl almost pass out. I then remembered I could just walk up the stairs. Then I entered the next movie theater. I saw my sister's head halfway on up there, so I rushed up to her. Then I can't remember what else happened.

~Dark Room~
One part I only remember. We were in a dark room with a ton of tables, chairs, and computers, I have no idea what we were doing there.

So, I've been doing this experiment with different stones and their effects on dreaming. For three nights I slept with malachite under my pillow, and my recall seemed amazing. (Though my dreams were not as disturbing/exciting as usual.) I was going to try tiger's eye for three nights as well, but after those two nights with extremely horrible recall, I decided to give that one up. Last night was night one with Amethyst, and I must say that I am pleased!

1- Reverse Nightmare
I am on a dangerous island with my family and some other people. Those who travel alone are stupid, and if they get killed it's their own fault. I feel no pity for them.

There is no limit to the perils of this place: cannibals, deadly creatures, turbulent water... And yet, I'm feeling right at home! A trail of rocks goes far out into the water; I deftly run across them, quick as lightning, knowing that if I take one wrong step I'll be plummeting to my death.

My mom follows me, albeit not as quickly. She says that in order to get off the island, we first have to make it through Krueger's labyrinth. "Freddy Krueger's here!?" I ask excitedly. My mom gives me a weird look; obviously this is not a typical reaction. I don't care. Excitement courses through my veins as we all head toward the labyrinth. "Remember," I tell them, "Don't show fear. You can't really die here. Freddy may cut you to shreds, but after its over you'll come back in one piece."

We enter the labyrinth as I am saying this. As soon as the words come out of my mouth, Freddy's clawed hand has slashed all the way through my dad. "Damn, I died," he mutters, falling to the floor in a pool of blood. Krueger is standing there, smirking.

I laugh. "You really don't know who you're dealing with, Krueger." As always, my lack of fear begins to absorb his energy. And as always, he runs like the coward he is. Grinning, I follow him. "Shelby's right," I think to myself, "If I was ever in a horror movie, I'd be the first to die, 'cause I'd chase after the evil thing." Just as I am closing in on my prey, wondering if I should rip his head off again or try something different, something changes.

No longer in the maze; spontaneous lucidity. For some reason I feel that my energy has been screwed with, that I need to be healed. I know Raven Knight heals people sometimes. Maybe if I could summon her... I lost my train of thought as a mirror comes into view. Yeah, I'm supposed to be looking for Samael. I'll just use this as a portal. My thoughts are weird though, and I can't focus as I try to scry his location in the mirror. My reflection goes all weird for a second, taking on the form of a demon. Oh great, this again. I briefly look away, then look back. Good, my reflection is back to normal.

Come to think of it, this would be a good time to try the task of the month. I reach into the mirror and pull my reflection out. She sprawls out on the floor, limp and lifeless. Annoyed, I prop her against the wall and look into the mirror again, at my new reflection. Before I can pull her out as well, my other one falls over in my lap. "Ew, she's drooling," I mutter, sitting her up against the wall again. A girl is standing behind me; she's been with me for a while, but I can't remember who she is. Raven Knight, perhaps? Possibly Tamora. She tells me to stop fooling around; that it's obvious I have to give the reflection some life force before it responds.

"Oh, of course." I put my hand on my clone's head and say, "I give you life." Suddenly, her once glazed over eyes become alert. She can now sit up without having to lean up against the wall. "Yay, it worked!" Now I reach into the mirror and pull out my new reflection, this time giving her life before she's even fully out of the mirror. That's two clones, that should be enough to satisfy the requirements.

As we walk away, the girl who is with me suggests that we go back to Freddy's labyrinth. "No, my powers don't work in labyrinths for some reason," I say vaguely. ((Um, what?)) We are going to a particular place, but where it is escapes my memory. I notice that my former reflections have stopped being clones. In fact, one of them has turned into a bald old man.

I dont remember the beginning of this one, but i will start where i do. it starts in a room, with wooden walls like a cabin. i dont have a body, just one of those movie camera things. theres bunk beds in the room, and there is a man leaning on one, his knees on the ground. he looks like a character from a show i used to watch called Avatar: the last airbender, he was the bad guy. for some reason his entire body is made of lava, or fire, something like that. there was a skeleton in front of him, i think it was his body. then another person, i didnt see him, started talking. he was talking about the man losing himself, like his soul or his being. then, after a memory gap, im back in my body running down a path. theres walls on either side of me, tan stone, and theres water under my feet, maybe a few inches deep. i run until i reach a sudden opening where theres water, an ocean i think. i dove into the water, it was unlike any water ive seen. it was the clearest water, a dark, sapphire blue. i didnt feel the water though, i think i was in third person while under the water. in front of me was a large multitude of ships, i jumped onto the nearest one. there were people on deck, i unleashed a dragon/thing on them, i have no idea what it was, or where i got it, but it took out all of the people, except for their captive. their captive was yet another character from the show, a woman. we jumped and swam as one toward the wall. looking at the wall, there was a slat of space in the wall where i jumped into the water, it ran all the way up the wall, which was enormus in height. we started to sink, the stone block i just happened to be carrying for some reason was dragging us down. i let go and we started to rise, i yelled to swim toward the surface. we got up safely and started heading down the narrow path again. i then had the urge to turn left, so i did, and went down a different path. a small memory gap later and im with two other people. the whole storyline has changed now, apparently im the avatar and im with the other three people in the story. we're in some sort of buillding, i think it is close to the narrow path i was following earlier. we're in a room, like a shower room i think. then, some people walk in, normal people, me and the other three are dressed like the people from the show. they all sit down and one of my friends says something about the war. then this guy, a black man with a gold watch, goes on with this speech about love and peace. then a bunch of bad guys from the show bust in and throw nets at us as we run away. as we run away, my vision turns to third person. we all fall to the ground and i use airbending to free myself of the rope netting. i think then i woke up.

Ideals (Non-lucid)

★★★★☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

It's been decided. Tomorrow morning, I am to be put to death for my rebellious actions against the Empire. My comrades share the same fate. As we leave the presence of our judge--Vader himself--each of us is taken in a separate direction by our respective escorts.

It's night-time on the snowy planet; I only have hours left to live. The prospect is overwhelming, yet the only thing on my mind is an incredible yearning to sleep outside in a bed made of snow.

Taken by my subdued charm, the female guard arranges for this final request to be fulfilled. Time lapses by and, sure enough, I am presented with a mattress filled with soft, cold, pure-white snow. They place it in a trailer, open to the elements, on a bed-frame adorned with heavy leather straps. Contemplating how my last night on earth will be spent strapped down to prevent my escape, I barely notice the giant commotion going on around us.

A powerful being of some kind is attacking the base with huge doll-like creatures. Each guard around me leaves the area, assuming I'll do the right thing and strap myself down. . . It's a good thing I'm no idiot.

Panting, I duck behind a broken concrete barrier as the cold air rips in and out of my lungs. Far from the main compound, it will take some time for them to find me, especially if they think I'm still in the trailer. Now a fugitive with no way off the planet, I decide it's time to sever my ties with the Rebels and start anew. . . . .

Years pass, and in that time I become a distinguished officer in the ranks of Stormtroopers, to the point where everyone at Central knows my name. I had gotten to my position by infiltrating HQ years ago, assassinating a lowly officer, assuming his identity, and avoiding contact with Vader and anyone else who might have recognized me, all the while making the right connections and moving up the chain of command. I was determined to change the system from the inside out, and I'm well on my way. . . . .

Walking slowly along the run-down, grey-paneled corridor, my dark blue cape flows behind me as I walk. Stopping before the rental apartment door, my age-hardened face smiles weakly behind this forsaken mask. Even now, I, a High General of the Empire, second only to the new Empress herself, find it necessary to hide my identity, lest someone from my past recognize me.

Things across the galaxy have changed since I received this new power. This power, the power of Geass, allows me to permanently imprint my will upon anyone I so choose. I've found it useful in reshaping the Empire into a sovereign entity that imposes happiness on the inhabitants of the galaxy, forcefully if necessary.

Unfortunately, while it was easy for me to bring down the original Rebel Alliance with my newfound ability and former connections, this new resistance to our mission of peace, prosperity, and blissful ignorance is proving more difficult to tranquilize. So, in order to further my our agenda, I 'convinced' the Empress to re-allow the training of force users, assuring her I'd handle any rogues personally.

Behind these doors was one such rogue. Obviously, a full-on confrontation would most likely end in my death. Thankfully, my Geass has grown strong enough to work with almost no restraints. The door opens.

Across the room, leaning on a balcony rail overlooking the city, is the force user. He turns quickly, eyes going wide, hand raising up--but it's too late. My Geass has already taken effect, wiping away this poor fool's mistaken ideals and replacing them with a more perfect set. A set that will ensure his obedience toward the Empress, but more importantly his undying loyalty to me.

The deed done, I leave with my new pawn trailing behind me. However, there is no time for celebration, I still have a war to win, and an entire galaxy of people that need my help finding happiness.

Note: Tonight I wanted to do some more training with Vegeta. Vegeta has said if I really want to improve, I need to come train on a regular basis. I'll just have to see if I can keep my motivation up. So I won't go into detail on the training today, but I will just say that we did a bit more practice on what we did last night and then moved on and did the one with the drones… which I had thought was something Vegeta made up, but I have been told that is also from the Ranma 1/2 series… except in the series it was actual bees that Ranma caught, here they are small robot drones. This makes sense… Vegeta really likes the series Ranma 1/2… Next, I planned to track down someone who needs their heart healed. Inside, I am a healer... and I think it has been having a negative effect that I haven't been doing that kind of healing much lately. I also wanted to take a closer look at the locked book. I successfully slipped into a WILD…

My bedroom was dark when I woke up. I rolled over and got ready to go back to sleep. But first a reality check. I discovered this was a dream! I got out of bed as I became fully lucid…

I thought about my next goal. I used my first dream training with Vegeta, in which he once again did some amazing time dilation. Several hours of training fit into only about an hour of waking life time. Maybe even less than an hour. It takes a little time to actually fall asleep and get into the dream state even with the aid of meditation… Now I wanted to track down someone who needs to have their heart healed, to have their inner flame restored. First I asked myself who I wanted to try to locate. I remembered an individual referred to as Xildron, who I found out about from another dreamer. It seems that Xildron used to be a dragon, but got in a fight that ended in his death… and then some idiot resurrected Xildron as a human, which didn't make him very happy. It seems his energy is also unstable creating hostile behavior… I want to find him to stabilize that energy (the way I now see healing someone's heart) then he will be as he was meant to be. I'm not sure if I have enough information to track him… so instead I just tracked down the situation, which would no doubt lead me to someone who needed healing. So with that goal in mind, I opened a portal. I focused on allowing my tracking ability guide the portal to somewhere that my abilities would be needed. A portal opened and I went through it…

On the other side of the portal I found myself in a forest. It was a beautiful place. I walked through the forest for a while. The forest was filled with the sounds of singing birds and a gentle breeze blew through my hair. I wondered if my portal had gotten me anywhere near a situation like the one with Xildron… I didn't see anything that looked right. I decided it didn't really matter. Q keeps telling me I can't heal everyone, so I just have to focus on the ones I can find. So now I just needed to find the individual in the area who needed to have their heart healed. I walked through the forest for a while longer, just enjoying the setting. The forest slowly thinned out as I reached a rocky area at the base of a mountain. A cave opened into the mountain side. I approached the cave. Maybe the person I was looking for was in there. I wondered who might be living inside a cave. I entered the cave, making sure to remain silent as not to disturb anyone.

It started getting darker as I progressed farther into the cave. I adjusted my vision as the darkness became too deep to see well. The cave descended farther back, past a couple of passages leading off to the side. I stayed with the main passage. I finally reached the end of the passage, which was a large chamber. The flicker of torches illuminated the chamber. There were three individuals there. There was one on the left who had reddish skin, which looked like they might be scales, black hair that was basically a long mohawk, that went halfway down his back. The hair flowed down between two horns that were curved and had nasty looking points. He had ratty looking blue jeans on. The person on the right was dressed in black robes. I could not see anything of the thing's face or any other part of his body. Just glowing eyes… and those were glowing with a silvery light. The third man in the middle had normal caucasian skin, long hair that was a really light blonde or maybe silver, and he was decked out in nasty looking armor. The armor looked a lot like the armor in this picture, without the head piece and the lion insignias on the chest weren't lions… they were dragons. The colors may have also been different… I can't remember the exact color of the armor. All three of them appeared to be glaring at me, although it was hard to tell about the one in the dark robes…

I completely ignored the fact I was being glared at as I scanned each of them for a possible spark. The two on the outside didn't have any spark, or at least none that I could see… The man in the center had a spark… I could see that for certain. The man in the center needed to be healed, but I didn't see anything that could be done for the other two. I knew immediately that the other two were going to cause trouble for me when I tried to heal the third one. Now I walked farther into the room until I was right in the center of the chamber. Up until now no one had said anything, all three of them had continued to stare at me. Finally the one in the middle spoke. He spoke in a low growling voice. He asked me who I thought I was, and what did I mean by intruding in their lair. I said I had come to see him. He laughed a laugh that was completely without mirth. He said he had no business to discuss with the likes of me. He said I had made a fatal mistake by coming here, because now I could not be allowed to leave. I found myself under attack.

A massive blast of flames came from the demonic man on the left at the same time as the ground was cracking open beneath my feet, an attack coming from the cloaked figure on the right. I jumped into the air with quick reflexes I didn't realize I had. I found I was flying into the air, the chamber was much higher than I had thought. I flew through a large hole that led all of the way to the surface and out into the open sky. The three people from the cave followed me out. Three attacks came at once… fire, lightning, and ice. I spun quickly and did 3 rapid Whiplash spells, sending the fire at the ice, the lightning at the fire, and the ice at the lightning. That didn't interfere with them for long… All three of them came at me all at once. I made a dive to the ground, falling like a rock and then pulling to a quick stop as I landed. Three massive energy attacks were right behind me. Witchblade formed armor over me at the last possible second before the attacks hit. There was a huge explosion that forced me down into the ground. I felt an immense force pushing me down, it lasted for a short time, and then it stopped. When I finally extracted myself from the ground I saw the blasts had left me in the middle of a large crater… I could hear the three men laughing up above, saying that foolish human should have known better than to intrude. Time to try something else.

As the three of them were laughing, I flew up from the middle of the crater fully covered in my Witchblade armor. I used the spell song Crush 'Em by Megadeth. I hit the demonic entity with a blast of gravity that forced him back into the mountain, forming a crater there. "Heads I win, tails you lose! Out of my way I'm coming through! Roll the dice don't think twice, and we crush! Crush 'em! Now we lay you down to rest, you'll never be more than second best! Step inside you're in for a ride, and we crush, crush 'em!" The gravity had him pinned to the mountain. I heard him cursing loudly about how he intended to burn the flesh from my bones slowly for that. Almost in the same move, I hit the cloaked figure with a blast of gravity which forced him into the ground, forming another crater right next to the crater made when I hit the ground. More cursing. More threats of torture and death. Meh… I've heard it all before, been through some of it. I heard them saying this would not hold them! It didn't need to hold them long, just for a bit while I used a healing spell on the third one. One more blast of gravity would have to hold the third one while I did the healing spell. I had the song Crush 'Em going in the back of my mind to keep the gravity fields supplied with energy. I could hear the song playing in my mind, or maybe in the physical area around me. I couldn't tell if the others could hear it or not.

The third man cursed fluently at me. I ignored his threats, too. I focused on the healing song Devour by Disturbed. "I will devour you, take all the pain away. I cannot stay my hand, from reaching out so that I can empower you. For all eternity. It seems to ease my mind, to know that you've brought meaning to my life." That was going just fine until the other two were breaking free. I tried to divert more energy to holding them, but that interrupted my healing spell… and the action proved to be too little and too late. They were both free now. They attacked me and I avoided their attacks, there was an explosion of flames and some energy behind me. The third man, the one I had come to heal, was right in front of me now. He grabbed me by the front of Witchblade. I looked into his eyes and did a scan. I found an image of a dragon there… A bluish green dragon with beautiful scales and wings, like this picture, but the dragon had three heads…

The man spoke in a low and angry growl. He said he didn't know who the fuck I was or where I had come from, but now I was going to… He stopped short as he noticed my telepathic scan. He roared at me to get the fuck out of his head. A portal opened and he threw me through it before I realized what he was doing… I hadn't been expecting that move, I had figured he would try to kill me… As I felt myself falling through the portal to an unknown destination I woke.

Espionage, then minor wandering. (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was definitely my most successful WILD yet. I didn't get much sleep last night, so I went for an afternoon nap. I lay on my back with my arms by my sides, which is a really unnatural way for me to sleep, but I reckoned it was probably the best for dreamin'. After a very short time I got some serious SP and rolling sensations (for the 2nd time whoop!) and I ended up in an interesting dream.

I had unwittingly inserted myself into a vampire/werewolf story. I think this was brought on by watching Underworld the other day. I was a vampire, of course, and I was walking through a town centre with a couple of my vampire cronies and a werewolf, who had defected. (Apparently the vampires and werewolves were at war). I went along with the plot, which went on around me. It was night time, and the streets were very dark, apart from the orangey glow from some low streetlights. We were on our way to sneak into a werewolf meeting at a hotel. I could see the hotel coming up on the left. It had a distinctly more reddish glow than the rest of the area. The dude beside me said,
"I thought this place was closed this late on a Saturday?" and the werewolf replied,
"Not for us." Sure enough, there was light coming from the building, but only from one side door, which looked like the entrance to a very exclusive club. There were two huge bouncers outside in black suits. We paused at a set of benches out in the street to discuss our next move. The werewolf guy warned me that there would be a scanner inside, and that they were only letting in the most elite of werewolves.
"I'll probably be fine," I told him, with a dollop of arrogance. I left the others sitting on the benches, and walked confidently over to the door. It was only then I noticed I was wearing a very nice suit. I tugged the collar slightly as I walked straight between the bouncers. My swagger was so awesome they didn't even question me. Right inside, there was a thin corridor, only about 3 feet across. A couple of metres inside was a simple ID scanner, the kind they have in some airports, only without the face recognition part. There were two girls I know in front of me (I knew them to be vampires too at the time), and a female guard at the ID scanner. The two girls inserted their fake driver's lisences, and were rejected. A red light shone from above the scanner and a buzzer sounded. Instead of being chucked out, they were allowed to merely walk back outside. It was my turn. I reached in my pocket, and found my ID card I usually use. I reckoned it might work simply because it was actually a real ID, I hadn't bothered with a fake one like the girls before me. Although it did occur to me that they would realise I wasn't a werewolf and not let me in anyway. I inserted my card, but to my surprise, the light turned green and I heard a "ping!". I was in.


Not quite what I looked like as a vampire, but hey...

The female guard stepped aside and waved me onwards. The corridor opened up to normal size. It was very dark- I thought it might almost be so dark I'd lose my perception and wake up by accident, but I concentrated on the small lights shining up the walls at the celing and made them brighter, allowing me to see ok. On my left was a glass wall. On the other side, I could see a fancy restaurant, with all tables full. I reckoned that must be the werewolf meeting. On the other side of the corridor was an enormous elevator door. There were two pot plants on either side, and some people standing in front of it. I recognised one of them as my friend Sophie, who I hadn't seen in ages. I said hello enthusiastically and gave her a hug. My friend Pete was also there. I was pleased to see him too. The lift arrived and the doors opened. I was surprised at what I saw. The interior was about the size of my living room, and there were dozens of people sitting on settees and on the metal floor. It genuinely confused me, but I stepped on anyway. I sat down with Pete against the back of a setee. I caught the eye of a girl across the lift and smiled at her. I caught my reflection in the metal wall and noticed my vampire fangs.
"Shit," I thought. "Although I am really working these fangs!" I assumed I would now be mauled by the many werewolves around me, but no-one seemed to care. Instead, the girl smiled back, and I noticed she had fangs too. We crawled towards each other, cutting a path through the people sitting about, and she leapt on me. We got it on then and there, with at least 30 people watching. Good times.

I had a false awakening here. I "opened my eyes", and felt the dream zap away, and my vision of the vampire chick was sucked into the distance, replaced by the wall in my old bedroom. I thought,
"That was sweet!" and sighed. As I sighed, I let out a huge amount of air. I was exhaling for literally thirty seconds. During that time I took several small breaths, becuase I needed air. At the time I reasoned that I had been breathing so deeply while dreaming that my lungs had absorbed an excessive amount of air, which was just being released now. When I was finished, I got out of bed and walked towards the door, ready to go downstairs and see what everybody was up to in the real world. My left arm felt really strange, like it was pointing the wrong way or something, but I stretched and it seemed to fix itself. I reached for the door handle, and noticed that I felt a bit strange, like I wasn't quite sure if this was a dream or real life. My vision was a tiny bit fuzzy, and I thought this might be from just waking up, but I did the hand reality check anyway, and was astounded to see about seven fingers! I laughed to myself that I could be so stupid to have thought this was real- I was in my old house after all. As soon as I became lucid, I had a familiar feeling of being "trapped in the dream", which I only ever had once before, in my lucid nightmare where I kept having false awakenings. Waking up for real would've been fine, and a few seconds ago, I really thought I had. There was even a vague echo of The Twilight Zone music which tormented me last time. I resolved that I wasn't going to get into that mindset, and the music petered out. I was incredibly aware here. I was so switched on I found it hard to believe I could still be sleeping with my mind still at work. I walked over to the window. It was afternoon on a cloudy day. Climing through the bushes in my garden was some naked girl.
"Jackpot," I said, and punched the air. I opened the window, ready to climb out, but my three brothers came in. They were asking me something which I can't remember now, but everything seemed so real here that I had to do three reality checks in a row, just to make extra extra sure I was dreaming. I asked them who sent them, for some reason. The biggest brother replied,
"Christine." (she's my ex) I asked him,
"What, is she here?"
"Yeah, she's in the cupboard under the stairs," he said. I went downstairs to see if she was in fact hiding in my house, but there was no sign of her under the stairs. I went inside and hoked about a bit, but quickly became claustrophobic, so I left. I wandered into the living room, where we have a big mirror above the fireplace. I walked over, and saw my reflection. At first glance, it seemed basically normal with slightly longer hair. Then the title of a thread I had read on dreamviews earlier popped into my head. It was about looking in the mirror in dreams, and how something weird always happens. Right then, my reflected face distorted itself into a horrible, demonic visage. The skin darkened, the eyes went totally black, and my head grew horns. It laughed at me evily.
"Fuuuuck that," I said, and stared it out. The longer I stared the more benign and cartoon-ish it got, until the outlines of the main features looked very much like they were drawn by pencil. Satisfied, I turned away and went out into the hall.

About here I woke up. I was shocked to find that it had only been an hour exactly since I lay down in bed!

Swooping and Swimming (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm not sure whether to say this was a DILD or non-lucid. I kind of knew it was a dream, and I did a lot of cool stuff, but I wouldn't say I was really I, if you know what I mean.

I was in my old house, in the early hours of the morning. It might have been around 4 or 5 am. Still dark anyway. I looked out my bedroom window to see that my dad was driving off. He went out the bottom of the driveway and took a right. I climbed out my window and jumped off the roof to fly after him. I had the same kind of flight ability as I usually have, which is like that of a paper aeroplane- mainly just a glide. I wasn't quite catching up, so I tried skating on the ground, which was icy. I had a good thing going, as I skate-glided behind my dad's car. I was feeling confident so I leapt up in the air. I soared about the height of four houses and got that familiar "shitI'mfalling" sensation in my stomach after reaching the peak. I landed farther up the road, behind a chain of cars driving ridiculously slowly. There were a few people walking along the footpath to my left, so I joined them. We walked for a good while, and every now and then I would swoop out onto the road and glide over a few cars. I found I could fly a lot better when the wind was coming from behind me. When it was against me, I made my arms into a streamlined shape in front of me and I could cut through it.

It was getting closer and closer to daylight as I glided along the road, and before I knew it, it was morning and I was at my old school. It had been turned into a leisure centre. I jumped onto the rear bumper of a car and rode in. I passed a fantastic swimming pool which had massive slides, a glass roof over half of it, and enormous brown statues down the other end. The next thing I knew, I was in the pool. I was floating on my back, looking up at the glass roof, and imagined it moving up and down. Then it did. I found I could make things happen around me with very little effort. Strangely, this was the part of the dream where I was the least lucid. The other people in the pool were getting annoyed at me. I told them it wasn't my fault, I couldn't help it, but they didn't listen and kept shouting at me. Becuase I was pissed now, I made a huge statue come to life and roar at them. Its head was hundreds of metres above the pool, staring down. I concentrated on it, it shook off a bit off dust, then its eyes glowed red. It stood up to its full height (it had been bending over looking down before) and roared. Next I made the entire swimming pool become a whirlpool, which I found great fun, but nobody else did. I let myself get sucked underwater and found I could breathe. There were bubbles swirling all round me, and I thought I might get pulled to the surface again which I didn't want. I liked the quiet underwater. I made myself heavier and my feet touched the bottom.


The rest, I can't remember very well, but I think I went into the changing rooms and got dressed.

two nights ago I went out all night and took molly. Before that I took a lot of salvia. I had a massive REM rebound this morning and had a dream that lasted all night. I woke up around 6 or 7 times throughout this whole adventure, but laid in bed and thought about the previous dream until I fell asleep and went back into it. I never wrote any of this down because I was extra tired from the lack of sleep the night before, but the fact that I would think about the dream so much until I fell asleep made them all link together. A lot of this dream was forgotten



It started out with me in a foreign landscape. We are walking through a maze. I am aware that this is some sort of game that I need to get through. Kara is with me and we are walking through a maze. We go through some portal and enter a restaurant. There is a gym attached to this restaurant and to the left people are working out. I notice a cute girl on a machine giving me a look. I am with Kara so I try to not flirt back. There is also an Asian girl giving me a look. She was wearing a black dress. We were all talking about random things until a couple of us had to go to the bathroom. Somehow I ended up in the bathroom with the Asian and she had to go to the bathroom. I told her to go in front of me and she pretended to. I whipped my dick out and started to make her touch it. She got angry and left the bathroom. I was a little worried that she would tell Kara. I went out and started talking shit about her and they all started to hate her. She said she was going to tell the manager and I laughed because I was good friends with him and knew he would fire her if I asked.

I left the place with Kara and continued the path.We went up to some control tower and pressed a button to open a large gate. This place with filled with deformed ninjas that had treasure. This was a weird kind of treasure and I knew that if I took some they would find out and attack me. I ran up their some ladder to a shack with the treasure. I took all of it and suddenly five of them appeared. I started running with Kara and Adam my brother called me and said he was waiting at the gate. We found Adam and I suddenly knew I was dreaming. I took one of the treasures and multiplied it into three sharp pieces of material. I threw three of them in the air and they sniped their way into the hearts of the ninjas. Adam told me that playing video games on the computer was much cooler than lucid dreaming. I said he was stupid and that he should stop being so lazy in life. We ended up at on a high speed chase to my house and went inside.

I went into the garage to find my mom and my neighbor trying to fix our broken garage. I spent some time trying to help him fix the garage. A random cute woman came into the garage and said that she had great replacements for light bulbs. The light bulbs were filled with weed and god food. I thanked her. I ended up running three houses down and asking her if I could have some more. I told her I wanted to see her again and she was giving me her cell phone number when her dad came out of the house. She whispered that she would call my house phone. I went back home and went upstairs to replace my light bulbs in my room. My mom started yelling my name and I did a rc. Wohoo! I am dreaming. I did a little flip down the stairs and into the living room. There was a scary evil guy near the garage door and I jumped in the air, summoned a dagger, and stabbed him in the heart. He disappeared and I started telling my brother that he could never do this in his games. I forgot what else I did because I did not write down the lucid and ended up continuing the same dream.

Laying in bed I heard my mother call my name again. I was pissed that she woke me up from my lucid. I went downstairs and she told me that I had to go to work. I went down to work and asked the manager if I could somehow work early after having a good chat with him. He said I could help clean the place up. The restaurant is still not open, but half of it was up for testing. The rest had to be cleaned. I started cleaning the place with some fat guy. We ended up having to take three wolves from the garage into the woods. I took a giant hammer and started lightly hitting them on the heads. Just enough to make them pass out and for us to take them into the woods.

Dreams recalled: 8

Another night with lots of dreams, none of them lucid.

I was at some school I had never been to, but people I knew were there. Turned into a couple of the later dreams

My friends fiance came up to me telling me that he needed me to go with my friend to something, because she couldn't do it without me there(??) I kept thinking, you're her effing fiance... and your asking another guy to help her!? Thats your job be a man...

Another dream in the school I had mysteriously lost my pants... I got out as quickly as possible and was suddenly down the street from my house. (I think I took the bus??) Except now instead of just my pants being gone, I was completely naked. I took off running towards my house, trying to cover myself as best I could, and tried going behind some buildings. The dream ended before I could get home.

I went to what I thought was a shooting range. I was outside the building and lots of people were trying to sign up to shoot so I thought I would too. There was a list of the different guns you could shoot, but you needed some kind of license to do all of them except a pistol. I had to go with that lol.

The dream ended but picked up again later. This time I was walking through some buildings to find the shooting range, but instead found some sort of huge event where people were playing a bunch of really big games. I walked all the way to the end of a strangely long building, but just more games.

I was trying to leave a parking lot, but it had been flooded. People tried driving over other cars in big trucks, but didnt get far. The water level was then right at the tops of cars, and I started to slide across them somehow and made it quite a ways before it stopped working. I started talking to people about what to do and the dream ended.

Talking to my bosses wife at work, she told me some bad things about myself, and I realized in the dream my ex gf had told her stuff. She also told me something about how I'm prone to getting arrested. The dream me had been arrested a few times I guess, but my response was: but I have zero convictions, though. I've just made some bad decisions. (LOL)

The last dream was lengthy and weird. I was with a friend, who's dating another friend IRL. We were talking about something in a second story room of a building, and the dream almost turned sexual as she was topless suddenly, and things started to happen. It randomly changed back to normal and a weird game of hide and seek started. It was night time and I jumped off the balcony to the ground. There was a strange square hole for some kind of water system or something with equipment running down it but the bottom was black, it felt endless. It was about 5x5 feet and I climbed in anyways, just barely getting below ground level clutching to random ledges and pipes. I think she found me but I dont remember. I was suddenly back on the balcony, which was more like a walkway because it wrapped all the way around the building. I was 'hiding' again, and one of my managers from work was below me looking for me this time. Very weird, but funny.

Tried Hargarts FILD method for the second time, still no success.
