Dragon Slayer (DILD)

★★★★★

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

They're probably going to die.

I watch the dragons slowly descend upon two neighbors from inside my doorway. Fearing for my own safety, I shut the red metal door and casually step away.

"Hurry up and get over here." My brother states from his fancy wooden seat at the dining room table.

"There's dragons out there, man."

"Don't worry about that." He brushes me off, as I take a seat next to him. Plopping down in my chair, he starts talking about something in his usual way, but I can't help thinking about that horde of dragons, the ones from the LD I just had a few moments ago before my. . .

DEILD attempt! Right! This is a dream! I realize excitedly. Taking a look at my brother, I wonder if it's Burmes. "Hey, Burke." He looks at me as if I've got three heads. "Sorry, Burnes--Burmes right?"

"No, not exactly." He states coldly.

"Well, whoever you are, you're pretty convincing. You had me fooled for sure." I stand up and head to the door. I figured I'd help out those people in the court. Those dragons did refer to me as prey, after all.

"Where are you going? Hey! Get back here!" My brother shouts at me.

"I'm alright, thanks." I respond kindly, opening the front door to reveal a dragon hanging off the awning over my porch. Leaping out the door, I grab onto its head just as it begins to launch itself toward the center of the court, where those two people still were. Utilizing Super Strength, I break its neck, sending it hurdling onto my car-less, sloped, concrete driveway where it slides down a bit before stopping, dead in its tracks. The rest of the dragons were quick to notice.

One, two, three, four, five, six. . . and probably more just around the corner. Better get started, then. Taking to the air, I pull out a bow from behind my back, and grab an arrow from much the same place. With a burst of will, I light the tip of my arrow ablaze, draw my bow, and aim it at the heart of the nearest dragon, 50 meters away.

FWANG!

My shot is right on target, hitting its mark in the exact center of the dragon's chest. Stunned, the dragon looks down at the arrow protruding form its deep red and orange scaled body. It stumbles forward, but doesn't go all the way down. That's cause enough for me to switch to my Barret .50 Cal. Sniper Rifle. I take a quick shot without scoping, but it goes rather wide. Resigning myself to obscuring my vision for a short while, I peer through the scope, line up the dragon's head in the cross-hairs, and let off a round, which creates a rather large hole in the thing's forehead. Before it can hit the ground, and after dealing with gun's recoil, I put another bullet through its skull for good measure. Yeah, there's no way it's getting up from that.

Off a ways from all this, I see and hear a dragon howl ominously into the afternoon sky. The narrator in my head explains that this particular dragon was upset because his last living brother had just been killed. I was also informed that the dead dragon in question was the one whose neck I had snapped moments ago. They probably shouldn't have started screwing with my dream, if they didn't want me to fight back.

Dropping the gun, I pull out a weapon from a more civilized age (No, not that, you silly Star Wars fan, you). My steel Katana glints luminously in the slowly failing sunlight. The mass of dragons--plus one enraged ex-brother--smoothly move in my direction. I too move forward, as one of them takes out a missile launcher. Oookay? I think as he fires it, sending a missile careening toward me. . . very very slowly, I might add. Watching the missile sputter out halfway and drop to the ground, isn't too surprising. However, I don't expect the resulting explosion to be as large as it is. If I had been any lower in altitude, this could have ended badly. I need to deal with this before things get even more out of hand, and if there's anything I've learned about efficiently dealing with large groups of enemies from my HvZ exploits, it's that you should always rush them before they rush you.

Shouting ferociously, I fly at high speeds toward a dragon to my left. Raising my sword high above my head I scream, "Getsuga Tenshou!" tearing at the air before me in a dramatic swipe. A blue cyclical wall of energy erupts from my blade and flies forward, hitting the dragon and creating a huge gash along its entire body. Feeling confident that would be enough to put that one out of the fight, I turn my attentions to the others around me, just in time to block a claw from removing my head. I back off from my attacker, and start to fly around him, being sure to make a note of the positions of the other dragons. Right then, that asshole with the missile launcher tries his luck at blowing me out of the sky again, but my next maneuver will put me well out of range of the blast.

Flash Stepping into striking range, I unleash a flurry of slashes on my attacker, before Flash Stepping to the other combatants and doing the same. I finish just in time to feel the shock-wave of the explosion behind me. Unfortunately, my strikes barely break through the dragons' skin, and I'm forced backward yet again in order to avoid being cleaved in half. I let off another Getsuga, but this one is deflect by. . . A dragon with two gigantic sabers? Fuck me.

I strafe aerially in a wide arc, carefully watching not only this new threat, but all those still in the fight. It's then I notice the second blade in my off hand. How'd that get there? I wonder for a moment before realizing how unimportant that information is. All I know is that now I should be able to take on that monstrosity slightly below me.

Changing my flight path, I dart diagonally toward the dragon with the giant twin blades. "Getsuga Tenshou!" I yell, but my blade fails to perform the technique. Ignoring my seeming lack of control, I engage her in direct combat. Yet, as it turns out, fighting with two swords is a lot harder than you'd think, even when acting on instinct. Despite my best efforts, each attack I make, no matter how complex, is subsequently parried and met by a counter. What's worse is some of my opponent's attacks actually manage to nick me a bit. What gets me is that here's this target five times my size, I can't even land a single blow, but she manages to make contact with my skin on several occasions!

"Come on!" she taunts me, "Is this the best you've got?!"

"No, actually." I state as coolly as I can in my agitation.

"Well, then bring it!"

Jumping backward, I warn her, "Remember, you asked for it." Then, throwing my arms out to the side, I proclaim, "Ban--kai!"

FWWOOOOM!

The energy deep within me bursts forth in a remarkable fashion, violently throwing about the air around me. My dual blades are now wider, more ornate in design, and encased entirely in glowing, bright, yellow energy. But that isn't the only new thing I have to show off. Moving toward her, my speed is so great that the world blurs around me and she herself seems to be stuck in time. I circle her, once, twice, three times, four times in less than a second, with each pass I cut into her with a volley of slices faster than even I can make out.

"I'm not quite done, yet." I comment with a grin as I slow down enough for her to register where I am. "Reverse Bankai. . . Resurrection!"

At that, my body is covered in white light as I immediately transform. I switch to the third person to get a good look at my new form. I'm completely shirtless, with smooth pale skin, flared white sleeves sporting two lavender and orange squares overlaid on top, and white bone-like gloves. My shorts are also pure white, and my feet and lower legs are fitted in a bone-like material as well; they too bear the colored squares. My medium length green and blue hair spikes out to the side, flowing subtly in the warm twilight air. A metal loop is affixed to my stomach, from which a thick silver chain is passed through. On the end of that chain is my new weapon: a pair of red marble nun-chucks with gold plated tips.

"But that's still not all I've got lined up." The dragon's eyes are visibly wider now as they continue struggling to follow my movements. Reaching my hand to my face, I rip down my Vizard mask. I feel a cold wave flow out from the center of my being; my desire to utterly destroy this creature rises as the numbing current overtakes me. Allowing myself to act on the impulse, I Flash Step in front of the target of these urges, bringing my weapon down hard across her head.

BOOOM!

The explosion from my strike sends overpowering vibrations throughout my neighborhood. Standing behind my opponent now, I slow down time for the both of us and explain to her why she's missing half her face and falling to the ground, while I'm completely unharmed.

"It seems every time this weapon makes an impact with something, it lets out a fairly powerful blast. I'd say the actual force is around ten times as strong as what those missiles your friend was shooting could produce. Luckily for me, this new form has a built in perk that protects me from attacks below a certain level. Unfortunately for you, its limit is high enough to let me use something that devastating as my main attack. I don't think you're body will be able to handle it like mine can. Let's find out, shall we?"

Resuming the flow of the battle, I move back in front of her and begin my assault--and what an assault it is. Every blow from my viciously spinning nun-chucks is coupled with an enormous explosion. Smoke, fire, and smoldering flesh flies around me as I continue my attack, each strike taking a good sized piece of her body with it. She drops her blades, but I'm not just going to let such massive weapons go to waste. Snatching them from the air, I use a bit of chain from my stomach to bind the sabers together, creating a pair of sword-chucks three times the size of my body. Expertly utilizing both weapons, it's only a short time before all that's left of the dragon is an unrecognizable husk of meat and bone.

My brother comes up to me, his mannerisms completely different from before. "Well, if that doesn't scare them off, I don't know what will."

Nodding to whom may have been Burmes, I turn to the rest of the dragons. Staring them down, shock splayed against their collective faces, I instruct them, "Run, while you still can."

The dream fades as I watch these beasts who once thought of me as prey vacate the area with a hurried purpose.

Revelations (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I woke up from my previous dream. I did not open my eyes nor moved. In a split second, I felt SP and vibrations, a second later, I was back in the dream. Chained from previous dream with a perfect DEILD

I entered the dream fully lucid with crystal clear quality. I fell almost in the same spot were I woke up previously. I was next to the entrance to the car repair shop (where the drift competition took place) The ground was not rainy anymore. It was daylight and I noted a few parked cars outisde. However, this time they were regular cars, not fancy racing ones.

I entered the car repair and there were six female employees.







One of them was very upset because her car was stolen. I called her attention and started a conversation:

- I can help you out to find your car - I said.
- No, you can't. You are just a racer, not a detective - She said.
- But, this is a dream and I can help you out. I know how to in waking life so now as lucid I know as well.

She did not replied. I was thinking about leaving and heading to complete one of the tasks of the year. However, I remembered how Robert Waggoner said on his book that we all must learn to use our lucid dreams for more than fun stuff. So I decided to do a couple of things he advised to.

I talked to a DC that was pregnant. I asked her, "What do you represent?" She replied, "I have six slots." I did not understand the meaning of that, so I guess I will know in the future.

I remember other important question to ask, so I asked to the dream, "Show me something important!" The oldest DC approached at me with a gentle smile. She placed both of her hands on my shoulders and looked into my eyes. She said, "Do you have parents or kids far from you?" I replied, "Yes. Not kids. My parents." She said, "Stay as close to them as possible. In the future they may lose their sanity so enjoy with them now" I was happy because I received an important message and worried at the same time. I knew my mom's parents have a few mental issues and my mom is very nervous. I also wanted to ask them something else, another personal goal, but I felt it was enough information. I did not want to put at risk all the info I got if I forgot.

I planned to leave. I though it was time to see the dinosaurs die from he meteorite and wake up. I did some important homework during my lucid. However, I realized that one of the employees was a beautiful young lady. I wanted to have sex with her so I approached and hugged her. I knew that dream sex could wake me up, so I was looking around to keep focused on the dream and also, I did not want to get too involved to avoid strong feelings. I felt quick sex was the best option. It was just a DC after all. I kissed her and pulled her pants down (we were still in front of everybody, but who cares) I held her and brought her to another room where a small chair was located. I planned to use it. She started to get very excited and happy. One DC said, "Hey, calm down, he is just a guy!" My dream started to vanish. I did not intend to recover it, I had a lot to write down so I accepted waking up.

The cats, the car and the princess. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I cannot recall the very beginning entirely, but I recall most of it.

I was by myself in the street. I was daylight and the street was not busy. It was warm and I felt the wind blow in my face. I entered a small outdoors mall and it was themed Mexican. There were several acts about Mexican music and stuff. Many employees were dressed like Mexican. I want to point out that the mall were I work in for the Olive Oil store, is Mexican Themed, but the mall in my dreams was different.







There were a few garages on my left and I stopped in one were I could meet some ladies. All of them were very hot, specially, one of them who was 6'03'', blond large straight hair, no glasses in her high 20s. She wore shrink to fit blue jeans and a short shirt that would not cover her body entirely, so she shower her perfect flat belly. All of these ladies knew me for some reason, and specially the tall blond one was attached with me. She liked me a lot. Inside the garage, there was a red car. It had to be a Mustang for the shape it had, but I did not see the make nor the model. The garage was not well lit and it was a little dark. There were also a few arcades, a table and I think a bar. Everything was dusty overall.

I had a conversation with these ladies and we did something else. Here is were my recall failed a little.

I went for a walk with the tall blond one. We were talking about the stuff we could do next. I felt she wanted to go on a date with me and I felt happy about it. Despite the evidence to become lucid here... as in real life, not the hottest woman would substitute my wife. I decided we could go and pick up my brother to school. We went inside a building that was a mall. It was not pack of people, but I saw a few random DC. The school was on the top of the building. I remember I was on the escalators to the last floor. There were small posters announcing deals from other stores, but anything else. A plain cream colored wall. The lighting was clear.

Ignore the lady on the photo, the background is perfect to match with my dream, but that lady is on the way and it will take ages to remove her with Photoshop So she has nothing do to with my dream. (It would be awesome if at least she looked alike like the DC that was with me)







I reached the top floor and there was a small door. Inside, I saw a bell and no one else. I rang the bell and another door opened. There was a big office, almost empty with two seats for people to wait. They were comfortable chairs but I wanted to get my brother, drop him off and enjoy my time with the blond lady. I see a African American employee at the bottom of the office. She had black curly hair and was dressed with a black dress. She was not friendly at all and she almost ignored me. This place also had pet adoption and I saw some cats. There was a small black kitten and she approached me. Now I was with my wife, she was in her real waking life body (the blond one was gone) I was petting one the kitten that approached me. She was almost black with a few white hairs on her back. She looked similar to one of my waking world cats, but with more black hair.







She was purring the whole time and she was very happy with me. I said to my wife, "See... she has a little black on her back, but not like Skitty, she has more white so then is definitely rare" On waking, the way our cat is colored, is odd. The vet said that it was uncommon how her hair was.
I wanted to adopt her and wondered if my cats would like her. I was sure they would, afterall, she is a kitten. I was getting mad for the long wait time there and I called the employee. She told me I had to wait more. I protested saying that it was late, but she kept insisting I had to wait more. I got mad and said, "My brother has 15 freaking years... he is big enough." At the end of the office, on the right side, I saw my brother with his backpack and he was about to exit to the office, but the employee said, "Go back to class!!!" This bugged me even more because my brother was ready to leave but they were retaining him. I wanted to steal the kitten and keep it for me, but I knew that God would punish me if I did so, so I just was about to leave.
I opened the door and the kitten ran out. Now, I was located in a total different place. The school itself was not longer in the top of a building mall, it was a house. I saw a few steps and then the street. It was calm street. I think the street was covered with snow, or at least, the sidewalks. I saw a second cat that came out of no where. Both cats were running but I was able to catch the kitten I liked. The other cat looked very mad and he kept running until he was gone.
I saw an odd guy dressed in a brown suit. He was tall, about 5'11, he had gray hair and a big gray mustache. He grabbed the cat that was mad and left with him. He was smoking a very large and thin cigarette. He wanted me to give him the kitten, but I rejected.

I planned to keep the kitty for myself, after all, he ran away. However, it was not right, so I brought the kitten back to the "school" I rang the bell and entered. Now it was a different scenario. On the left, there were stairs. Each stair was covered with carpeting. There were plenty of decor and everything looked very comfortable. I saw two employees, I think both were females in her 40s and African American.
I asked them if I could adopt the kitten. She said I could. I replied, "Well, when?" She replied, "Whenever you like." I was excited and I said, "I want to adopt it now then. How much is it?" She replied, "Well, we want to mate it first with the other cat, then you might addopt one of the kittens they would have." I was confused, because the cat was a kitten and it would take ages until she grows and mates. In addition, I knew the other cat ran away. She advised me of a weird men with a large cigarette that would cause injuries to cats. I was going to say that the male cat ran away and was caught by the guy, but I left. I sat on a small bench and I was smoking a cigarette. I was thinking about the cats.

I started walking and I was again in a Mexican outdoors mall. It was getting dark, but there were still Mexican acts going on. I saw a few ladies dressed like Mexicans and dancing. One lady was like 8' 10'' and I though, "Creature - Giant Mexican Human" "Creature comes from Magic the Gathering." I think I saw some big male ones as well.
I stopped by a small act, they were two little people dressed like Mexicans dancing over sand. In the middle of a square there was a candle. It was lit. I saw a penny in the floor and I felt lazy in grabbing it. But I knew it would bring me good luck so I grabbed it. As I rose my sight, I saw the garage I was before. I hopped the ladies were inside, but they were gone. Everything was about to close. However, I ended up meeting with them. They were other ladies and the hot blond one was not there anymore. I had a conversation with them, but I cannot recall exactly what we said. I was about to leave but two of them agreed to come with me. I conversed with them, but can't recall.

I was now driving in my car. Both ladies were on the back of the car. One of them was a student, and the other one, was her teacher. It was night now and I was smoking a cigarrette In waking, I do not smoke and it fell to my hands into the companion's chair. I was worried it would lit. I could not grab the cigarrete. I could not reach it. I was driving and I had to let go the wheel to grab it. However, I managed to grab it and I felt better. It fell from my hands again but this time it went to the very bottom of the car. I wanted to stop my car, but I notice I was about to enter the I-5. "Oh dear, now what?", I said. I was driving, looking at the other cars and looking at the carpet of my car. Nothing happened. For a second I though. Well, the carpet it thik, it won't lit. However, a saw smoke. And I saw how the carpet was getting burned. I was worried because my wife would get mad. However, I started to see fire. I was inside a tunnel and I could not stop. The fire was greater and greater until I had to stop my car abrumpty, causing an accident. My car was full of fire now and both ladies ran out. They shouted at me to leave the car.
I planned to stay and blow up with it. I already heard the oil and gass falling from the car. However, I knew I would go to hell if I did that, so I exited the car.
I went to the trunk to grab a backpack while the ladies were freaking out and begging me to ran away. The car was full of flames now so I knew it was about time it would explote. All the cars were stopped.

A saw a bigger fire inside the tunnel as I was running








We were running in the tunnel and when we were about to exit, my car exploted. I was worried that a chain reaction would ocurr, causing several deaths and damaging tons of cars (the tunnel was packed) As I exited the tunnel, two policemen said, "Freeze. Hands up where were can see them." I was pissed because I would go to jail and I though, "Gosh, they are fast, my car exploted and they are already here!!! This is like Grand Theft Auto!" The the policemen laugher and said to the student, "How are you your highness?" I was stunned and happy, I knew she was no princess so they got confused. I was worried if they would notice the damnation that was happening in the tunnel. They asked her, "So, where is your second palace now?" She replied nervously, "In Haity." The policemain said, "Haiti?" She replied, "Yes. Any problems?" The policeman said, "No." And they started to run to the tunnel. We were alone in the street now. I started to worry about my insurance, would they cover the damage of the car? I still had payments on it. I also knew they would spot that it was my car, I doubted that the plate would burn off.

As we were walking, the teacher said, "Why you had to do a last minute check on your work? Don't you trust me?" Then I awoke.

The Earth melts while I enjoy a chocolate cake in the moon (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was at home, in my room. It was day and I was going to leave somewhere with my wife. I became lucid instantly

My wife was ready to go, but I walked around home to make sure my dream was stable enough. I had a small flight around home, but nothing fancy, I levitated a bit and flew around.

I told my wife, "Hold on, this is a Dream and I'm lucid. I want to make it stable first!!" She looked at me like if I was nuts. I remember that I could blast the Earth and destroy it (for the "End of the World" task of the year) I rose my hand and created an energy blast. However, the blast was not stable so I decided to stop and hold tighter to the dream.

I remembered that a user in this forum had in his signature "Pray" as a goal within his lucid dream. I prayed for a few moments to accomplish it (It's not my goal, but I wanted to do it anyway)

I appeared at a theme park. I enjoyed the theme park, rode a few things, walked around and observed how fun were having other DC. I remember the park was very vivid. The sky was very blue, the theme park was crowded of people and I could see a lot of detail.

I remember about doing the task of the year. I thought that a gladiator fight would be easier as I was in a theme park. I started to look for gladiators. I could not find any so I asked a policeman and to a couple of DC. They directed me and I kept walking without any success. I found a kiosk store for Cricket Wireless. One of the employees grabbed my arm and I pushed him abruptly. The other employee told him, "Hold on. Not yet." I asked him if he knew were the amphitheater was. He pointed me to it and asked me, "So, what cell phone do you have now?" I replied, "I have a HTC Mytouch. Cricket does not offer such phone, so sorry." Both salesman appeared sad.

I kept walking and I found a weird restaurant were I was indicated. I asked one of the employees about the gladiators. She told me, "Yeah. It's here." I entered the restaurant and walked down a few stairs. I got to a room with not much light. The decoration was old school. There were a few tables around. The tables were round with a candle in the middle. At the end, there was a small theater. There were Mariachis dancing and singing in Spanish. I asked another employee about the gladiators and she told me it was going to be next. I was a little annoyed because I did not want to wait, I was afraid to wake up. I realized that if I saw the gladiator fight, it would not be valid. I was somewhere in the future and I had to be in the actual time in order to accomplish it, so I just flew away.

I was walking with another friend. I told him I wanted to do the Task of the Year. He looked at me with a weird face. I decided that as I was in the future, I could complete the task, "End of the World" I knew that it was OK if I destroyed the Earth in order to provoke the End of the World. I remembered I could do energy blasts.

I flew to a small building and my friend did as well. I've made an energy blast twice big as a basketball. It looked like this:







The blast was intense, but it had not much color and I felt it was like a bubble. I threw it in the water and I saw it vanish inside the crust of the Earth. My friend laughed at and and claimed it did nothing. I was sure it would damage the Earth but I did not know how, so I told him to hold on.

Suddenly, I see bubbles in the water and my friend says, "Oh... how scary." I replied, "Oh yeah? Just hold!" Suddenly, a giant gaiser showed up. The water was very hot and it reached the sky. My friend said, "Oh.. a geiser. Like if you are going to destroy the Earth like that." A few DC freaked out, but not many. I told him, "The gaiser will raise the Earth Temperature... but one gaiser may not be enough for you, how about several?" My friend stopped laughing and started to worry.

I threw several energy blasts and the same effect happened. All the DC were freaking out, screaming and running. There were several gaisers and the whole atmosphere was turning into a wall of vapor. The heat skyrocketed and the North Pole started to melt. The water level started to raise very fast.

I had an unfinished building on my back, so I started to climb it the same way an ape would do it







My friend came with me until I reached the top of the building. The water level was on my head, so I decided to swim to a taller building. The water was very hot, but it was bearable. I asked my friend if we would have time to swim before everything starts to boil. I get tired of dealing with it and I just jump and reach the moon. My friend followed me. My friend had a chocolate cake in his hands. He claimed it was from his country.

I was observing the fate of the Earth from the moon. The Earth was all blue, I could not see any of the continents. A huge mass of clouds covered the entire earth. This mass of clouds was thinker and thinker until I witnessed the Earth melting itself. The whole planet melted and disappeared.

I was in the mood, enjoying the cake proud of my accomplishment. Neil Armstrong came to my mind, and I though in summoning him, however, I remembered that I was only allowed one task per dream so I passed.

I observed the moon to see if I found someone such Raven or Wakingnomad, but I saw no one but my friend. I could see a few vagrant images from videogames floating around the moon. I also saw a pikachu's head.

I was happy enjoying the moon but I decided it was time to wake up and write down the dream. It passed a lot of time and I was afraid of forgetting it. I summoned a bed, lied down and closed my eyes.

I had a false awakening without lucidity. I told my wife I had to write down my dream. I ran out of my bed and went to the backyard. I sat in a iron chair and used an iron table (classic white garden iron table) I opened my DJ and it was full, no room to write the dream down. I was afraid I would forget the dream so I called my wife for another journal.

She told me that before getting my first journal, I had to remove all the cash and credit cards attached to my dream journal (There were credit cards attached like additional pages of the journal and business cards from several companies) I grabbed a few $20 bills and put them in my pocket while I laughed. The dream vanishes and I wake up.

Note: I fell asleep this night with my energy in a very unstable state due to some problems I had during the evening. When I say unstable, I mean unstable to the point where I was not able to finish my evening class in school… I had to tell the instructor I wasn't feeling well and then leave early. While I had managed to calm down some by the time I went to bed, I was still very unstable. A large portion of my negative energy was directed at the Templars who have given me nightmares on the previous two nights… so my main plan was to kick Templar ass. I had this plan in mind when I fell asleep, but I was not successful in entering my WILD. Fortunately, my intentions were strong enough that I still ended up where I wanted to be…

I was in my room. I was in bed. I rolled over and thought about the events of the previous evening. I was a nice mixture of pissed off and depressed, basically quite unstable. I was thinking that was why I was being unable to sleep. I sat up in bed and stroked the kitty beside me. She purred. I got out of bed to use the bathroom. I thought I should try to stay in the habit of doing an RC when I wake up or get up in the night… even if I don't think I've been asleep… I did a nose-pinch RC and found that I was dreaming. I became fully lucid.

I thought about what I wanted to do… I was feeling pissed off… and I wanted someone to take that out on. Templars! They were the origin of my current problems, so I would take it all out on Templars! I had told them that continuing to disturb my dreams and turn them into them nightmares would result in serious consequences. Now it was time to deliver on those consequences. I focused on opening a portal to find a Templar base, I would go straight to them and have a kill fest right there in their base. The portal opened and I went through it.

I was now in a Templar base. There were Templars wandering around. They all were going about their own business. At first no one noticed me. Those were the bastards who had turned my past two nights' dreams into nightmares… they were the cause of the instability and the situation that had led to an argument between a friend and mine who had told me that he no longer wants to be my friend… I walked over to the Templar closest to me as the others moved out of sight. I could feel unstable dark energy inside of me… my energy had been unstable all evening, and now I could finally do something about it! I grabbed the Templar by the throat and slammed him against the wall. He let out a surprised 'glurk' but could not speak to alert the others. I squeezed his throat until I felt something get crushed, then I let him down. He grabbed his neck and was choking… he couldn't breathe… he coughed up blood, collapsed, and died.

One dead Templar was not nearly enough. Time to start killing them in larger numbers. I went into a room with two Templars there. A big guard and another who looked more like a scientist. I used Master of Puppets on the guard, and made him beat the other Templar to death. I then made him grab a scissors from a desk and imbed it into his own throat, followed by using the scissors to cut the wound larger. He pierced his own jugular vein and bled out . I continued through the base. I met several Templars in the halls. I stabbed each of them with my hidden blade before they realized I didn't belong there. I looked into a large control room. There were 15 Templars in there at control stations. I let a tendril of Witchblade out, it went through the room and pierced the throats of each Templar. The instant I retracted the tendril, the blood flowed freely and they all died.

As I continued on my way, I tried to think of a creative way to kill the next Templar… I found a lone Templar in the hall. He stopped and looked at me. I used Damage, Inc. to set him on fire. The Templar was quickly engulfed in flames. In a blind panic, he ran into another room with a number of Templars in it. He wanted someone to help him, but all he ended up accomplishing was to set several more of the Templars on fire… now there were five Templars panicking in the room, engulfed in flames and screaming in pain. That didn't last long; they all collapsed, dead. I killed the next few Templars I met with my Witchblade sword. Electrocuted a few with lightning. Crushed several more with gravity. And each Templar I killed was immensely satisfying. My unstable energy was simmering down to an icy rage.

It was around here that I thought I was waking up… but I wasn't finished getting my payback against these Templar assholes! I focused on Allura's method of time dilation and the dream stabilized.

I made my way down into a dungeon. That looked like the kind of place where they would carry out their tortures. There were hooks on the walls from which lanterns were hanging. I used telekinesis and lifted a Templar up, impaling him on a hook through his abdomen. He was still alive when I left him, coughing up blood as he tried to call for help. The next several Templars I came across met the same fate as the first one, hung from those iron lantern hooks. I found three more Templars near an open dungeon cell door. A couple of big guards and a smaller one. I could hear them talking, I could hear them clearly.

"Ok… when she gets here," the one said to the others, "You grab her like last time. All you have to do is chain her up in this room, and we'll let the rats do the rest." He laughed.

I was standing right beside the three Templars now, between the two larger guards while the smaller man was facing away from me, looking at a door. "So…" I said, "What's the plan here?"

"Weren't you listening at all?" the Templar said with some frustration, "You two grab Raven, chain her up in the dungeon, and then we watch the rats eat her alive! Now get it…" the Templar had been turning around, and was now facing me. There was a big guy on either side of me. "There she is right now! Grab her, you idiots!"

Each of the big Templars grabbed one of my arms and held on tight. I didn't even try to pull free. Time to activate Witchblade. Nothing happened. The smaller Templar held up a remote and laughed. He said the dampening field was up, so I could forget my little tricks. I told him it was their loss. Using Witchblade would have brought them to a much quicker death than the alternative… The smaller Templar told the other two to put me in the cell; the rats are hungry. He laughed again. I focused on controlling dark energy into tendrils. The tendrils wove from each of my arms and wrapped around the arms of the big guys beside me. At first they didn't seem to notice. Then both of them started screaming and let go of me… or they tried to let go. Each of them had a black tendril boring its way into their arm. Each attempt to pull free resulted in more pain.

The third Templar just stood there and stared at us for a bit, muttering something about the dampening field he had mentioned before. He pulled out a sword and was apparently intent on just killing me so I would wake up and be away from them. A third dark energy tendril snaked out of where my 3rd eye would be and wrapped around the sword. The Templar dropped the sword and turned to run down the hall. The tendril was faster, and it bored its way into the Templar's back. Armor was nothing to the dark energy tendril. All three of the Templars were now screaming in pain. Their screams brought more Templars to see what was happening. The tendrils that attached me to the three separated, and I was able to direct those tendrils and more at the arriving Templars. Most of them didn't have a chance to react… a couple tried to cut the tendrils with swords, but that was completely ineffective. So soon all of the Templars in the room, the three I had found there plus 12 who had come to check it out, were writhing on the ground in pain.

I went over to the Templar who had been telling the big stupid ones the plan. He was grimacing in pain and clutching his abdomen. I kicked him there and lifted him up. I told him I knew he would wake up soon, but for his sake he had better have learned a valuable lesson… don't fuck with me. And don't go back to fucking with any of my friends, either. Harm one of them and the results will be the same, maybe worse. Get the picture? He cursed at me. I slammed him against the wall and said if he was still failing to get it, there's a lot more trouble where this came from. So stay away from me, stay away from my friends, or there would be consequences. I dropped him on the ground where he continued to writhe in pain. I wasn't sure what the dark energy tendrils were doing… or maybe I was… they were eating the Templars alive from the inside out. Well, they had intended for me to be eaten alive, so their plan backfired.

I went into the dungeon cell and looked around. Chains and shackles on the floor clearly meant to chain a prisoner so they couldn't move… cages with horribly underfed rats inside them; add animal cruelty to the list of Templar offenses… I felt my dark energy. It still felt like an icy rage… I was glad the Templars were in pain. But not the animals… they had done nothing. I opened the cages. The rats weren't in such bad condition that they couldn't make a run for it when given the chance. They ran for the cell door and out it. I heard more screams from the Templars. I glanced out and saw some of the rats were on various Templars. The Templars seemed nearly immobilized with pain from the dark energy tendrils… and now there were rats on them. A rat chewing on a Templar's ear, a rat chewing on a Templar's cheek, a rat chewing on a Templar's nose… The rats would be fed… but it was fresh Templar on the menu… I shut the cell door and was waiting to wake up. Now I was alone in the dark room with nothing but the background sounds of Templar pain.

I was waiting in the dark room to wake up. The icy rage inside me made the Templars' dying gasps of pain sound like wonderful music… then there was silence. Ok… now to wake up? Maybe that dampening field was still there and I would have to leave here by normal means and then wake up… I formed a fireball in my hand… my abilities seemed to be working fine.

"Raven!" came a voice from behind me. Wtf? Who had found me here? I turned and looked behind me, I saw MoSh was in the room with me. The icy rage I had felt inside had been starting to subside… but suddenly it surged back again, almost as strong as it had ever been. Now it was MoSh's turn… I would see him writhing on the ground in pain… I would… wait… no… I turned my gaze back to the blank dark stone wall. Watching Templars suffer… ok. But not MoSh… no. I focused on that blank stone wall and on The Curse by Disturbed, must stabilize the dark energy. It'd had its fun with the Templars… and that's all it was going to get. MoSh was saying something about dark energy and an attack. I said that telling me to stay out of his dreams doesn't make a whole lot of sense if he is just going to come into mine. He said he needed my help to stop the dark energy something… I said if there was a dark energy threat, get Walms or Tigress… and if it was simply an extremely powerful threat of any kind, get Vegeta… but don't stay here. My energy is currently about as stable as nitroglycerin… well shaken nitroglycerin, and could blow at any moment. And it was getting very unstable… it hadn't been very unstable earlier because I had been working with it to eliminate Templars, but now I was actively fighting it… and that was creating instability.

That was it… I wouldn't be able to keep it inside any longer. I turned back towards MoSh… who took a step back when he saw how crazed I probably looked… I opened a vortex portal right next to MoSh that led back to his inner world, used telekinesis to push him through, closed it behind him and then BOOM! There was an explosion… and then I was no longer standing in a Templar base… now I was standing in a crater… um… ok… I hadn't realized the explosion would be quite that bad… although the icy rage was completely gone now. Completely vented off against the Templars. I looked around the crater… I didn't think a single Templar could have survived… which brought me to a chuckle. But I felt stable. Finally it felt completely under control. Now that control was restored everything faded and I woke.

Last night I had a dream that I was looking at a newer camper or cabin with my boyfriend which was rather large had 3 bedrooms.

In one of the rooms it was turned almost to an office and had a couple shelves with snickers and other candy bars and from that point my dream switched or i have no recollection of that part but I was sitting outside with a gorgeous girl I've seen from sporting events in highschool but never spoken to (she was from a different school.)

There was a small basketball game going on near us so I do believe we were at a park and the girl kept smiling at me while we were talking and I remember she kissed me and I was really into her and we acted like a couple that was dating.

I remember asking her if she was ready to go somewhere and she said, "Yea I guess so" with a smile then we ended up back at this camper/cabin I had previously been looking at with my boyfriend.

He was there laying down on his side and had an empty plastic grocery bag in his hand and when I walked up to him he started laughing and then I asked him to leave because I had to figure out what I wanted in life and that I would call him in a few days.

The girl stayed and I ran my hand down her cheek I was happy and very relaxed and comfortable around her and she explained that she was happy as well and shed a tear of joy. We started to kiss one more time and from that point I woke up.

I have no idea what this means at all..I do have a boyfriend I've been with for over 4 years and have had some questions as far as my sexuality but I'm uncertain and haven't acted on any of it. any help in interpretating it would be much helpful thanks

Zombie Apocalypse (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

After months of trying, I finally managed a zombie dream! Good times. Only thing is, the hordes of walking dead weren't enough to make me realise I was dreaming, hence the non-lucid. I did get a little bit aware towards the end though, which just made it all the more real. Details are a bit sketchy, since it was nearly 24hrs ago I had this dream.



I was holed up in the top floor of an appartment building in the suburbs. It was a modern building surrounded by normal houses with lots of gardens and trees. I spent a long time hiding in this building, having no contact at all with the zombies who wandered aimlessly in the streets below. There weren't a huge amount, but from the large window at the front of my room I could see that the street contained about 50 zombies. This particular brand of zombies were somewhere between the classic shambling, moaning, not-much-of-a-threat walking corpses (as seen in the original "Dawn of the Dead") and the more modern, able-bodied, running, bloodthirsty variety (as seen in "28 Days Later"). They were able to run like someone who was wounded, basically.

One day I was walking past this large window when a survivor in the street spotted me. She had red hair and was about 30. She screamed to get my attention, then ran to the front door via several gardens and over a wall. Unfortunately, the zombies couldn't resist, and followed her en masse. I let her in grudgingly, knowing we would soon have to leave. The zombies were gathering at the door, moaning and banging. The noise was attracting yet more of them from the surrounding area. Luckily I had prepared for such an eventuality. There was a wire cable running from the balcony, across a few gardens, all the way to another street. We each looped another piece of wire over the cable and swung along it to the other steet. I had thought this plan was foolproof, but the wire I was swinging on made a loud scraping noise when it went over the cable, thus alerting the hordes below. They all looked up stupidly in unism, then roared. We landed, and after much swearing, ran out into the next street.

There were still a few zombies ambling inanely with mouths open in this street- most of them having been attracted to my front door previously. It was then, when rounding a corner, that I noticed a flyer on the wall. It contained "Official Instructions" on how to deal with the infestation. The redhead looked at it and nodded. I didn't look, but somehow knew what the instructions were. They had just never been carried out very well. Apparently, a purple liquid had been invented which was completely toxic to the undead, and harmless to the living. (Rather convenient!) The orders were to dispatch vats of the stuff to every street, then throw it over any zombie who came near. This would result in instant death for the recieving party. We ran round the corner, dodged the odd zombie, and found ourselves in a ruined street of shops. All the windows and most of the walls were broken down, and there was rubble everywhere. There were also buckets of the miraculous purple liquid at every building. I rejoiced, and picked up a bucket. Two zombies were advancing on me at a brisk walking pace. I turned to them and sloshed all the liquid out of the bucket. I meant to soak them both, but only got one, completely missing the other. The one I hit immediately howled in pain and collapsed backwards. Visible purple fumes wafted from him as he fell, entering the nostrils of the other. Two seconds later, he collaped as well. Apparently, this stuff was very strong.

I can't quite remember the next bit, but it involved me running round the town looking for some item I needed to give to a friend. I found it in a tiny garden surrounded by a black metal fence. At this point I was armed with water pistols full of purple stuff, and the undead were no hindrance.

The next thing I remember, I was all out of liquid, but had partied up with a group of survivors. We were at the top of some kind of zeppelin tower- you know, a tower at the top of which a zeppelin stops, and you get on. There was a zeppelin waiting. The leader of our group was a tall dude with black, slicked-back hair. He was carrying a shotgun, and he stepped through the automatic doors onto the balloon first. I somehow knew that both he and I were invincible- we could not be killed or infected. I think I had some low-level lucidity here, because I acted a lot more like myself. I think that's where the invincibility came from. Everybody stepped on board and looked around. We were in a kind of atrium. The floor and walls were dark wood, and a grand staircase up to a viewing platform was ahead of us. The furniture and ornamental plants in the atrium were strewn everywhere. The black-haired guy warned us that this thing was probably full of zombies. I ran up the stairs and saw, for some reason, a door leading to a dental surgery. It was lying open, and I could see the bright whiteness of the wall. I went inside to find a mostly-devoured corpse on the chair. It was gruesome, but I was cheered up when I found two weapons to arm myself with. The first was a large screwdriver with a blue plastic handle, and the second was a kind of cordless dentist's drill. It must have been battery powered, but even so, it was quite deadly.

I headed towards the very front of the viewing platform, and encountered a grandma-zombie. I gathered that she had been here for a while, because her eyes had rotted away! She had just two blackened eye holes in her green, rotting face. I got her with the dentist's drill, which miraculously sawed her head off in one swipe. I passed a few crappy-looking shops and came to what looked like the driver's seat. I approached it cautiously from behind, as I could see someone was still strapped into it, trying to get out. With my drill and screwdriver raised, I stepped round the front of the seat. It was my ex-girlfriend! She looked pretty much as she always had done, apart from badly cracked skin above her lips, and evil eyes. She gnashed her teeth at me, struggling to escape from the seatbelt, but it was very secure. Two straps looped over her shoulders, secured across the chest. I sighed sadly and jammed the screwdriver in her temple. I felt a bit of remorse, but I was soon distracted by many more attacks from zombified persons. I used the screwdriver and drill to lethal effect on lots of them as I moved along an upstairs corridor. They came out of the rooms on either side one by one, like a video game.

Hallucino-fucking-nations! (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was a bit sleepy on boxing day, so I lay down in bed for a nap. Now before this, I've never had any real hypnagogic hallucinations before, save the odd quick buzzing sound, and I've never been one to notice sleep paralysis. I got them both this time, and it was fucking weird!

I don't know how long I was lying there, but after a while it was like a switch had been flicked and my entire body just seemed to turn itself off. Over about half a second it became so I couldn't move a muscle- although to be honest I wasn't trying too hard in case I spoiled it. Part of me used to doubt if this bodily shutdown was actually possible while still awake- and I was still awake! I even opened my eyes a crack, but barely took anything in, just the colour of the celing with the sun shining through the blinds. After a minute, I felt as if my head had "lifted out of itself". It felt like my forehead had levitated up. I was really shocked, and it reverted almost immediately. I assumed this must be the HH's people rave about.

I then wondered what other stuff I could get my body to do. With that thought, I started "sliding" under the covers towards the foot of the bed. But I kept going. I slid maybe five or six metres before I thought of controlling this ride. I thought, "I should reach the end of this bed now," and sure enough, I felt my feet poke out from under the covers next.

Then my belligerant brother came in shouting about crap and ruined it!

[I]abridged[/I]
I am a dark African sitting in a grass hut on a swamp somewhere on the dream plane. I have a necklaces of animal bones around my neck, and feathers coming out of my head. I have thick dreadlocks.

There are all kinds of voodoo shit hanging about.

Raven enters with MoSh, Tigress and Loaf. MoSh is half snake, but no one seems to notice. Loaf is half vampire, half werewolf. Tigress is a werewolf. Raven is Queen of Night.

"We have come to seek the guidance of the Night Shaman," says Raven.

"What is it you desiyah??"

"We desire the Great Red Ruby of Foresight atop the Mountain of Despair."

"Oh, no. You don' wan go dere! You goin' die. You all goin' die many many deaths."

"Just tell us how to get there."

"Me not know if you be deservin'. Are you strong? Are you wise ones? Are you... in unity? If not, you will die, die like a snake writhin' in th' sun! You must accomplish de task of Fiyah firs'! Outside dere is a large swamp tree, with a hollow arch. Walk t'rough de tree. You will find you in de Hell of Hells. Bring me de One Watah Drop in all of Hells, and you will prove to me dat you have de strength it gon' take. NOW GO!"

They eye me suspiciously, but turn and leave. I cast enchantments upon them of protection, energy and power to assist them in their trial.

Q appears next to me. Do you think they'll make it, Professor X?

Well, Q, it's my Danger Room. I can turn it off if they lose lucidity or get lost in pain. I am going to give you an AI orb with a portion of my power. This orb will guide you in my will, and stay with you when I am awake.

I summon a small silver orb, and put a piece of my sentience into it. I hand it to Q. Q10 appears. Q hands the orb to him.

I wake up in some remote viewer facility.

"Good job, sir. You have successfully joined the Dream Corps of the CIA Remote Viewing Project, Dreamgate."

"NO YOU BASTARDS! LET ME OUT OF HERE!"

Code BLUE CODE BLUE WE HAVE A LIVE ONE!

I run out of the room. I am in a huge underground base in a mountain. I run down a catwalk. I don't know where I am going. I have to get the fuck out of there. I feel needle in my back. I collapse to the floor.

I wake up strapped to a table in an operating room.

"You have already betrayed your friends. Oh, yes, you fool. You signed on the dotted line when you slept, you idiot. Don't remember, do you? Too bad your recall sucks."

'NO YOU'RE A LYING FUCK."

THey show me a video of me signing a document in blood in an interrogation room.

"That's not me, you asshole, that's some CGI actor or something."

SILENCE. And now, we torture you for your insolence. Release the straps.

I try to get up. I can't move.

You have been given a paralyzing anesthetic. You can't move for the next forty-five minutes. Yet, you will feel all the pain and torment as we slice you open, and examine what makes you tick.

I see in the reflection of the crazy doctor's eye, a jaguar face. I am confused.

They slice me open, and I scream. I feel no pain. They remove my guts, and play catch with my liver. I realize it must be a dream. I feel a dark fire burning inside me.

I roar, and stand up from the table.

CODE RED CODE RED CODE RED MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS. DREAMER IS MANIFESTING BEAST SELF.

I grab the doctor, and bite his head off, then spit it on the floor. The others back away.

WHO ELSE WANTS THEIR FUCKING DREAMS HAUNTED FOR ETERNITY?

I shoot claws at all their eyes, then fly through many floors until I get outside the mountain.

Goddamned spooks in jet packs are awaiting me.

I call out to Koomo, as the RV Templars hit me with a knock out drug. Fuck yo tranq, beeyotch! This is MY DREAM!

I begin to fall. Michael catches me. Man-bats appear out of portals, and we battle the Templars.

I soon see my friends from the first part of the dream come and join me. We kick ass.

Loaf runs through the mountain, affixing bombs to the pillars. He hands me the detonator. BOOM!

We fly back to the Moon, and rest.

Duelling My Subconscious (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My memory of this dream is somewhat warped, in that I can't remember what order things happened in. There were a lot of FA's which chopped it up a bit- most of which I was 100% sure were real.

FA 1: I was in my bed, really disoriented. I had no idea what was going on, and I had a suspicion I might still be asleep, so I tried to roll out of my body. First to the right, where I rolled about half a metre into my desk which moved a good foot or so. Then I did a 180 degree spin so my head was at the bottom of the bed. This didn't even convince me. By this time my various blankets were a real mess, and I tried half-assedly to fix them and went "back to sleep". What convinces me I was asleep (apart from the easy 180 degree rotation), was that I had an extra yellow blanket.

FA 2: I was in the bathroom of my old house, looking in the mirror. My vision was a bit blurry, but I put this down to having just got out of bed. I was thinking about lucid dreaming at the time, doing my ususal mental exercise, "How would I even know if this was a dream, they're always so realistic!" I tapped the wall beneath the mirror with my knuckles, just to reassure myself of reality. I was literally 110% sure I was awake, it was so lifelike. Just for that extra guarantee, I looked at my left hand. About seven fingers!
"No fuckin' way," I murmured. It had been about a week since I'd had a lucid experience of this quality and I was very pleased. I went out of the bathroom and found myself in my current house. It was dark outside, I could see through the glass on the front door, which was at the bottom of the stairs. My mum was trying to get the cat inside and lock up. I went down to help. Strangely, there were two cats which looked identical. I picked up the imposter by mistake and it scratched my face. My cat is friendly, so I decided it wasn't that one. I looked to my right, and saw a blonde guy getting into a yellow lambourghini. I wanted a go in his car, so I called over to him. He glared at me and sped off. Annoyed, I hovered up to streetlight height and flew after him. Before I even left my driveway, I was slowed by an invisible force. I turned round, and saw a guy about my age with his arm outstretched. It seemed he was using telekenisis to keep me from flying away. He was looking at me evily.

I descended to waist height and prepared to take him on. From looking at him, I could somehow tell that his name was Johnny, and he was no ordinary DC. I tried to blast him out of the way, or throw him with telekenisis, but he resisted my efforts. As I thought about what I could use next, he created a fireball in his palm and hurled it at me. I dodged it, and sent one back. The fireball looked like heavily compressed fire. It was completely spherical, and much brighter than I expected. It looked like I was winning, until he sent out his Pokémon. Yes, Pokémon. I can't remember what Pokémon it was or what move it used, but it quickly overwhelmed me. I accidentally lost touch with the dream. At the time I figured it was probably due to lack of sensory input. I was just flying around, not touching anything. Or it might just have been the end of a REM cycle.

Here's another one for ya.

Let me preface this by saying I'm Bisexual. If this bothers anyone you don't have to read. This is not explicit..it's sweet. I had a friend in school. Let's call him R. I loved him deeply. I never told him, just being his friend was enough.

My dream.......We were in the lunch room at school. I became lucid immediately. I decided to try something. I grabbed R's Hand, and told him this was a dream and this would probably be the last time I'd see him. I pressed my lips to his. Oh guys I could taste him. I told him I loved him and ended the dream.

I thought was a great dream for closure.

Mick

for some reason I was on a weird vehicle like thing and we were driving our way to the end of something, context aside...

I was faced with several very very intimidating and scary enemies. I had to kill them while avoiding harm myself, all this time I was on the vehicle. It was very intense... Perhaps the most intense dream I had ever experienced..

I only wish I could remember it all...

11:00p-2:00a
I had originally planned to do a WBTB and take some Tylenol Ultra for a CWILD. I had deprived myself of caffeine since like... 1pm. I don't know if it was anticipation, or whether I was just going to have an insomniac night anyways, but I drifted in a light sleep during this time.

I remember a fragment of Raven Knight telling me my mum had said hi to her (as if this was Warcraft).

2:00a-6:00a
I got up for my WBTB. I stupidly took the Tylenol Ultra, not thinking that maybe if I was having a rough sleep, I should skip the caffeine jolt *Sigh*

I did have some interesting experiences though.

I nearly WILD'ed twice. I wasn't intending on it, but I mean... what is WILD, but mind awake, body asleep, right? I experienced some SP vibrations, which were oddly something I saw, rather than felt. Hard to describe, considering all I saw were the blacks of my eyelids.

The first time this happened, once they subsided I kind of just went, "Fuck, now what?" I wasn't feeling floaty, and I couldn't induce that feeling. Okay, so try to open my dream eyes. I opened my eyes. Unfortunately, I saw my sleep mask. Transition fail, again.

Second time, I felt the SP vibrations the normal way. I even felt kind of floaty-ish this time. But once again, transition fail. I do not know how the eff to complete a WILD.

After this, I had this lucid HI where I was sitting in an office. It was very unstable, visually. I tried to focus on the visuals. Danny (my DG) told me to STOP trying to force something visually as the first thing. He told me to close my eyes and sway back and forth. He said focus more on my dream body and less on my real one. My problem is I focus too much on my real body, so I remain anchored. So, once I've got my focus on my dream body and I'm not aware of my physical one anymore, then I can open my eyes. This was working, but it kept flipping in and out (possibly due to the caffeine). I finally got a visual where Danny handed me a small orange pill and a glass of water. I swallowed it and said, "It reminds me of cat food."

"Cat food?!" Danny asks, sounding thoroughly confused. I wake.

Throughout this time, one of the things I was doing to help me sleep was listening to a slow song. In hindsight, I'm wondering about the validity of that as an anchor when/if I WILD in the future. Does anyone else ever listen to music during a WILD? I mean, I knew when I was dosing off because when I came to again, I'd notice the song wasn't where it left off. But I also wonder... if I'm consciously transitioning into a dream, will I still hear the song? I wouldn't mind that, in fact, it MIGHT not be such a bad thing, so long as I can stay focused on the dream. Hmm...

I finally did pass out at around 5. I had a non-lucid where I was chatting with Garrett's mum on MSN, only she didn't know it was me. I was chatting through Garrett's account and was pretending to be him.

7/1/10

Woah, it's July first? That means I had my first lucid of the month! ^^

1- Holly the Hypnotic Vampire
I am a woman named Felicity, trapped in a room along with my friends by the evil vampire, Holly. We've been there for quite a while... We're starving to death, and so, so thirsty.

"I'm REALLY thirsty, Felicity. We gotta get outta here."

"I know, Frank, I know."

Suddenly something within him changes. He starts babbling about how he can feel the life energy flowing through him. Soon the others do the same. I seem to be the only one unaffected by this madness. Don't they realize the life energy isn't flowing through them? It's flowing out of them! They're becoming vampires!

I try to tell them to fight it, to resist what Holly has done to them, but she is fighting me every step of the way. She tells them that I am no longer worthy to be their leader, that they should listen to her, instead.

"Who should we believe?" Theresa asks, confused.

"The one you love the most," Holly answers in a hypnotic voice. "Who do you really love?"

Theresa considers this for a moment. "Holly," she answers.

"Holly," the others echo.

I give Theresa a dirty look. "Oh, and... uh, what is her name...? Felicity," she amends half-heartedly.

Ugh, she almost forgot my name. I think it's safe to say they're a lost cause.

"Are we always going to be this pale?" I ask Holly in annoyance. "I mean, can't vampires get a tan?" She ignores me.

2- Evil Sleep Mask
My dad's girlfriend has a cute pet rat named Jenny. She is sitting on her shoulder, and doing funny things to make us laugh. Hm, I need to play with my rats more often.

I "wake up" and find that I am alone. I wonder where everyone went... Oh, well, maybe I can play with Jenny. When I go over to the cage, I see that it is now the size of a cage at the zoo. As if that wasn't weird enough, there are all kinds of unusual animals within... Several of them look like giant, carnivorous sloths, and one looks like the mammal version of an alligator. All of the animals are trying to eat each other. There are a few small monkeys in the cage, too. They come up to the bars, quivering in fear, giving me a pleading look. "Aww, hey little guys! You're so cuuute!" This is obviously a dream. I RC and become lucid. Yay!

Time to look for Samael. I call out loudly, "Samael!!!!" My voice sounds cool; it echoes throughout the dream world. The thought of those monkeys distracts me for a moment... Maybe I could make on of them my familiar, since I'm looking for one. No, one thing at a time. I call out again. I have somehow arrived at a dark and abandoned country road.

Now my eyes are trying to close themselves. Ugh, it's the stupid sleep mask I'm wearing IRL. I take it off, which works for a few seconds before it reappears on my face. I can see through it, but it's making my eyes close... When they do I wake up.

I had a faaail lucid opportunity. I was talking to an old friend called Harald about lucid dreams and we were like playing a game sort of like a lucid dream. I talked about noticing that you had 6 fingers in a dream and bla bla.

I had a lot of long dreams but I'm having like a lazy period so I'm just going to write some things in my DJ.

Long dream trying to save my dad. Lots of mutations involved in the dream. Going to write the last part.

I needed to pee. I was in my house and I stood at a window on the second floor and I thought to myself "Damn, when I get my own place I going to pee out the window sometime." then I went down to my cellar. I went through a door and on the other side there was a big garage like room. I was going to pee at the door I just entered through. I was like a soldier then and my leader was behind me. He asked "wtf are you doing soldier?" but I kept going. There was another soldier there too. Some alien or something appeared out of nowhere and dragged him away under some fence thingies on the floor (think Alien movie). My leader was like "Shit, we got to get the fuck out of here!" and I was like "Huh?" and we started making our way across the room.
Mutated soldiers popped out of the floor and we shot them. I wondered if some of them weren't mutated. We finally made it to the door on the other side. Mutated soldiers jumped out every second. I somehow got a bag in my hand. When a mutated guy was close to me I like put my hand in the bag in panic. When I pulled it up it looked like claws in Prototype. The bag seemed to be some kind of mutation thing. I tried to attack him but then I noticed it was just ugly looking long normal fingers and they were in fact not nearly sharp enough. We ran out and my leader was first. I recognized the place because I'd been there earlier in the dream with my dad and brother bla bla. It was outside and there was grass on the ground. We were going to a little natural arena place where my dad was.
Right behind my leader a mutated soldier ran. I think it was the one I tried to attack with my fingers. He dragged a fat long tongue or something behind him. It went over a hole in the ground and I jumped in slow motion on it so I got over too. Then he like threw his real slimy little tongue at my dad and dragged himself super fast over there. I was at the arena somehow. I don't remember what we did to the guy but I don't think we asked him to join our nice little gathering.
The next part was about a falcon lady. She was mutated too as you might already have figured out. She was half bird and her feathers were white. She was larger than a big human. And my dad and brother told me she was easily stronger than any of us and they talked about "she can land bla bla tons of pressure on your chest...". She started to fly around and we saw like 4 red dots appear on different people. That person was going to get attacked. She flew close and picked on the 4 dots and then flew away. I never got the dots on me but I tried to stop her when she got close. Her mistake was that she thought she was so superior.
She landed on the sandy ground. It was like the ground in Gladiator. Her wings were gone and she looked like a normal woman now. She didn't expect my brother and I attacking her. My brother kept her distracted while I kicked her in the side. She started to get focused. She was charging up a powerful attack on my brother but I hit her in the side (in the kidney perhaps) and she like fell over on her stomach. I don't remember what I did next but my thought process was that we had to do something because she was the source of evil (sort of) and she could get up any second and finish us.
So there I am holding her head and bashing it into a object on the ground(some wooden chest or metal pipe). We were on the side of the arena now. But then I stopped because she hadn't moved in a while. Fear struck me. I felt bad. On the left side of her head there was a wound so deep that you could see her brain. It didn't bleed much but I was still afraid. I checked her pulse on her neck. At first I didn't feel anything but then I felt a strong pulse.
I got so relieved. She looked beautiful. I figured she was just unconscious. My dad and brother talked about her entering the third and final stage of the metamorphism where she would be less powerful and less evil.
AND THEN I WOKE UP
