Play-asia 2 (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID


I was a anime-character in a series. 1 other guy, a girl and me were in some kind of a sports team.
Every evening we talked via phone (conference feature). At one evening the girl told us, how happy she was to have me and the other guy as friends, because she never had real friends. I also recognized that she was into the other guy. I bet he recognized it as well.
After the girl hang up the guy and me were alone in the line. He started to talk about it to hook the girl up with me. What an idiot...
I really could feel the broken heart of the girl...

Bad Tom Cruise (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID




I know, that this dream was very vivid and complex, but unfortunaterly my recall is very bad.

The plot of the dream was the following: Someone made a biological experiment to test, if it's possible to make an angry/bad human by changing genes. They cloned a guy called Bob (Actually it was Tom Cruise, but everyone called him Bob...).
I was the guy, that hunted this bad clone.

I only know very little of the dream.
- One scene was at a pier. But I don't know, what we did there.
- I think I was married in the dream.
- In the last scene before I woke up, my whole family (including my grandmother and grandfather) was there. We were in a giant bathroom or something like that. The bad Tom Cruise clone was there, too. We hade no weapons, so we started to throw everything we found at him. For example a soap dispenser.
- At one point in between a fight or something I realized something and said: "I don't think that it's possible to make a bad human by changing genes." Der battle stopped and we (Tom Cruise and me) standed towards each other thinking about that a few seconds. After that I woke up I think.

The hypnagogic train (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I dreamed, I were at a trainstation. The train came and shocked me. Because of the shock I woke up.

I think, I wasn't even in the dream. I still was in this hypnagogic phase.

A lucid dream in a not-lucid dream? (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Okay, also die Erinnerung ist nicht so gut und ich bin mir nicht so sicher, ob das wirklich alles stimmt, was ich gleich schreiben werde.
ACHTUNG: Rote Schrift heißt hier nicht unbedingt vollständige Luzidität. Ich glaube nur Luzid gewesen zu sein, jedenfalls träumte ich davon.

Okay, the recall isn't the best.
ATTENTION: Red color doesn't absolutley mean lucidity. I just think, being lucid, at least I dreamed of it.

I have no idea what happened at first. I know, that I stood on the street in front of my house and I knew, it was a dream. But I don't know, if I really was lucid, or just dreamed I would be lucid.
Anyways, I tried 3 times to fly, to get to another place. I made some run-up with the decision to fly now, but only floated slowly to the ground.
Then there was a scenetransition, without recognizing it. I only can remember rectangular, 6 to 7 feet tall bushes.
My dream-Me still was lucid and wished a velociraptor. From here on the dream was kinda like a 'Turok'-game.
As velociraptor there was this creature:

I don't know, what exactly happened, but I know, that I wanted to fight the raptor and failed. That was down to it, that I couldn't spin fast enough in the ego-perspective to see behind me. (Typical console-ego-shooter problem of mine) And I can't remember having a weapon. At one point I wished for a machinegun, but didn't got one. I didn't use one of these technics to summon something. (For example looking away, prevent that there is a machinegun now and then look there again) That's one point, why I think I wasn't really lucid, I just dreamed to be.
Later after 2 or 3 deaths I decided to just run away from the raptor and came to a big door. I opened it and saw a T-Rex on the other side. A guy was shooting at it and bloodmarks started to appear on the T-Rex, even at places, where it doesn't got hit. (Just like in the 'Turok'-game on PC.) After the T-Rex died, I walked through the door. The guy who shooted the T-Rex was a teammate and the last thing I can remember is a conversation with some teammembers about a next mission or something.

Well, just like I said:
Either I only was a little bit lucid or I just dreamed, I were lucid.
I didn't do anything, that I had done usually in a lucid dream. (I maybe had summon a raptor, but I would get a weapon at first.)

I also hadn't tried to fly away, as I stand on the street in front of my house. I would had make some RC's and then tried to get into the house and see myself sleeping.

That was a weird...

'Piss off!' (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I dreamt I would clean up my room. Actually there only was a big mountain of stuff. I climbed on it and distributed some dynamite.
There was a rocksong played in the background, sounded like 'Drei' by Killerpilze.
Later my mother came and gave me a letter. I seems like the letter was one I used to send recently, but it came back, because I put not enough stamps on it. Strangely the missing stamps where already put on it.
My mother still stands there and annoyed me somehow. That went so far, 'til I woke up and automatically said "piss off!". 2 seconds later I recognized, that my mother only annoyed me in the dream.

Greetings from Germany,
Matthias.

'Avatar'-DVD US-Import (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID






I was somewhere in the USA in a little kind of shoppingmall. I walked into a shop with gigantic and halfways unsorted shelves. I found a big shelf with "AVATAR"-DVDs and blu rays. I looked at them. There where two differten DVD versions. One cost 16 $ and on 18 $. I choosed the 16 $-Version, because the cover looked better (There wasn't just one half of a Na'vi face on it, like the real 'AVATAR'-posters; instead there was pictures from the movie on it.). I even rembered, that I got a 20 €-bill from my grandmother yesterday (In real life). At this point I even remembered to my mother, who can't speak English but also wants to see the movie again. (Again a memory from the RL)
While I stood there at the shelf and looked at the DVD's, I heard how a guy near me got supported by an employee. They talked about Predator-comics and at one point the custome said something like: "Hehe, with this version I can say < My predator is shorter >."
(Jump in time)
Now I stand in front of the shop, with the DVD in my hand. All of a sudden my buddy Patrick appeared, layed his arm around my shoulders and wanted to go with me somewhere. I noticed, that he weared one of my shirts (I weared exactly this shirt in RL as I dreamed this dream. O.o). It was a white shirt, with two chinese dragons on it and some asian writing.
Well, I asked him all the time why he was wearing my shirt and how he came here in all of a sudden. The only thing I remember he said, was something like: "I looked on Googlemaps."

Here my dream ended. I bet, my brain waked me up on purpose, because I realized all the unlogic things. I think, it's a very interesting experience.
In addition to that, I also could remember something, that happened to me in real-life before. That's also good.

Greetings from Germany,
Matthias.

Ahuga! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was member of a native tribe on an full-of-nature planet kinda like in 'Avatar' or in 'Turok', just without dinosaurs. I just lived a long and did some stuff, I can't remember anymore. Then suddenly 3 giant and colorfull creatures appeared and attacked our (surprisingly big) village. They called these monsters "Prayer". (I think they called them like this, because when someone is attacked by these, he often starts to pray for help)


(The biggest of them looked kinda like this, just with blue instead of pink)

While others already were fighting against the creatures with spears and bow & arrow, I was still getting ready and was on my way to get weapons for the battle.
Then my damn alarmclock started and pulled me out of the dream. I tried to get into the dream again, but it doesn't worked. This might have been the most epic dream I ever had! :-(

There were three girls who had a strange power,their power seemed to have originated from a Devil Fruit.I remember asking someone how could more than one person have the same power and they explained to me that it was because they imbued the Fruit's power on their room's floor.The girls were of antagonistic nature at first but then it changed.

One of the girls became good and created a pocket universe on her room's floor,leading me to a place with a big pool.It was all so bright,lots of people were going on the pool,a party was going to happen I think.The pool was deep and I loved that,while underwater,I could see the girls that were swimming above's legs.I felt tempted to keep swimming deeper and stay underwater for a longer time,but I felt a urge to breath and had to go back to the surface.I got to the other side of the pool, I think I saw some people I know.The place had lots of people,I was talking to the girl who created the place.I asked if the people outside could hear us,and she said that only if they were close.She was now worried that her dad would find out what she ahd done.I went outside the pool place through a flower-metal like container thing so I could see if the coast was clear.I looked at her room's door and it was all closed out with planks nailed to it.I came back to the pool and there were much fewer people now.The girl was now going to close the universe I believe,the last thing I saw before waking up was a hand putting a lock on the door that was with planks and stuff.



Comment:

I specially liked the ending since it had an end to the storyline just before I woke up instead of teasing me with some epic dream climax just so that I wake up trying to do a DEILD.

After waking up and feeling disoriented due to a long night of dreams(which I can't recall) I fell asleep again and had this dream:

School trouble and the old friends

I was talking to a friend from my old school who I haven't seen on a long time.I discover that he now studies on the school I am going to,and he informs me that other friends from my old school will study there too.I feel great that I will already have some friends on the new school, I am on a long table and my vision goes flying past my friends faces.

I am now on the supposed new school,there are a baby,a woman and my 4th grade teacher on the same room.The tables were wet, as if it had rained inside the room, there was a paper on a table,which was wet too.The teacher seemed to have her same personality as the one in reality, she was treating me kind of bad.After she said something I heard clearly on the dream,I gave her a clever comeback including an insult to the school's methods(I used to do that kind of thing).

The students are now entering the room,I am happy to see so much familiar faces on there while also feeling nostalgic.The teacher threatens me,saying that she will make an excursion somewhere while talking only in english,so I would not understand anything(I used to be a bad student, so she probably assumed that I was bad in english too and was still a naughty child,probably because of my current behaviour on the room).I laughed in joy,while looking at the other student's faces searching for someone that knew I was good at english(although this post shows the opposite...).Their expressions seemed to show a mix of apathy and anger,I assumed some of them were angry because of something I did to the baby that was in the room,altough I can't recall any scenes about that.

Now,sitting on my chair,the room seems to be full, some last students are going to their tables.I now realise it.It is too good to be true, my current friends plus old ones on my new school,my 4th grade teacher?I must be dreaming.I got up,feeling a rush of medium disappointment for it being only a dream but also excitement,I rub my hands a little.The clarity is awesome,altough it seems a bit too bright.I can't really feel touch or the boundaries of my body too clearly so I decide to stimulate it.I touch a girl's face,my hand seems to go through it,I concentrate more on it and I can now feel an unrealistic touch sensation on my left hand.It feels like a vibration on my fingertips and fingers.The dream now starts to fade to black,but I can still see kind of an outline of the girl's face.Assuming that the dream is ending and I will wake up soon,I start humping the girl(silly me ).

To my surprise and happiness, it has not ended.I look at my crotch,seeing the results of humping that woman.Everyone seems to be kind of angry at me,like I killed/raped someone(at this point I can't say I haven't anymore).I seem to have trouble with dream control,I remember trying to fly but just hovering a little.I saw some emo like girl who also seemed to be hating me,I tried to show off that I was dreaming by shooting her with lightning,but all I managed to do was making my fingertips glow blue.The people's reactions were all very realistic,they seemed to find strange for me to think that I am dreaming.I can't really remember how it ended,but I did not lose consciousness after the dream and before waking up.



That was good,I had a boost in my happiness during the day.I wonder if I was having trouble with manipulating it because it was too realistic?

Note: My first LD since I’ve wrote this journal!
I’m saying to myself: “If I was dreaming, I would fly around and watch the sky and the ground.” I am actually doing so. I am floating in place. It’s a beautiful landscape. On the ground I can see the very green grass and trees. I look at the sky which is of a very bright blue. Everything was extremely vivid. I focus on the sky at the horizon and try to see how real this dream can… Hey, I’m dreaming! Everything became more real than real life. After a few seconds of lucidity and excitement, I start losing altitude and the dream began to fade. I remember that I have to spin and/or rub my hands but I couldn’t do this because I was in the air. The dream faded completely and I woke up.

Sorry for the late updates, guys. It's just that I am currently very busy with my IGCSE exams. I still have two more lucid dreams in my paper DJ that I haven't typed yet.

Zombie Slaughter!! And other cool stuff.

Date : 1st June, 2010



I was somehow inside a haunted mansion. The building was really old, perhaps a century or two. There was a large, open area in the middle of the mansion, where there should have been an indoor pool. Perhaps it was not dug up yet.



My vision was third person. I saw me, my friend, and another guy I don't know, enter the clearing through a large, shiny bronze gate. We came inside, and started to look around. I saw myself touching the wallpaper of the place, feeling it up. Then, I felt this weird sensation on the back of my neck. The atmosphere of the dream changed. I am sure you all know the creepy feeling when a nightmare's about to start.
Suddenly, I heard a gushing voice. Then, all of the paths leading out of the place were blocked by heavy iron gates, the kind you see on old metal safes. We all started to panic, and began to run here and there, pounding the doors and trying with all our might to escape. But it was useless.
The 'gushing' sound grew louder. Then, out of nowhere, water began to pile up. The depth of the water was increasing fast. With nowhere to run, we were going to drown!



I begin frantically pushing here and there, desperate for a means of escape. No use. I lost consciousness.

I woke up. I tried to FILD, according to my usual habit, but I was too tired to stay conscious, and drifted back to sleep.

I was inside a van, along with a detective party. We were investigating a case about a murder that had occurred a few nights ago in a mansion. We were heading towards it.
We were on a road that was on a cliff. The cliff was very steep, practically vertical. It was very narrow, but we managed to get the van through. The road seemed to be endless. It was very dark, like mid-night. There were no street lamps, or any illumination of any kind whatsoever. Not even the moon, nor the stars. We could only see a little ahead of us due to our head lights, but that was it. Aside for the area that the feeble lamps and the few lights inside of the van were illuminating, everything was pitch-black.



No one cared about it, though. We were all having a great time, drinking beer and singing songs along the way. Nobody was driving the vehicle. It was moving on it's own, finding it's own way along the dangerous path.
Again, the atmosphere changed. We all sensed it. We stopped singing, and held our breaths to listen. A lone wolf's howl, and the screeching of bats. Aside from that, there was dead silence.
The van suddenly stopped. What the heck was wrong with it? One of our group decided to check it out. We all warned him about the road being haunted, but he just gave us a thumbs-up and stepped outside. We all saw him go the the front of the car. He opened the hood, still smiling. He had a cigarette in his mouth.
The hood of the van blocked him from view. We hear him doing this and that under the hood for a while. Then, suddenly, there is a whoosh sound, a moving shadow, then silence again. Now, we couldn't hear that guy who went outside.
We were wondering what happened. We decided to go out and check what was wrong. Five of us got down, and went to the van's front.
There was no one there. The only thing there was that guy's cigarette, nothing else.
Suddenly, we hear a lot of sounds, like some one, or something, is coming. The sounds kept getting louder and louder. Now, there was also a deep moaning alongside it, a moan of pain, fear and regret. It was the most hideous sound I have ever heard.
Out of the dark shadows, figures start to crawl in. Realizing what was going on, I shouted to all of the group to quickly get inside the car. We all scrambled inside, locked the doors, and closed the windows. There were heavy steel bars around the windows, so they could not be broken easily. The whole van was also pretty tough, so there was no chance that anyone, or perhaps anything, could come inside.
We waited with our breaths held, looking at the figures that were slowly coming into view. Finally, we started to clearly see them. All of them, each and every single one, was a disgusting zombie.
There were about thirty of them. They all started to cram around the car, clawing at the windows' bars and the gates.
We were trapped, inside a car that couldn't move, without food or water, and best of all, surrounded by zombies.
One particularly terrifying zombie managed to get his face through the gap the the bars, and was biting it the thick glass window, which happened to be nearest to me. I could see his face in perfect detail. He had blood all over him.
Wait a minute, what THE hell is going on? Stuck inside a van with a bunch of strangers? Detective? Me? On a highway? And, what's more, looking at the face of a person who should right now be begging for ambulance?
I became lucid. Man, my awareness is getting crappy! It took me a lot more time to realize that I am dreaming than usual. Oh well, at least I got lucid.
I waited a while for the dream to stabilize. I started using my senses, touching here and there, concentrating on the sounds and smelling the air. It reeked remarkably of blood.
I rubbed my hands. Just to raise awareness, I kept chanting under my breath, "This is a dream."
This helped me keep my awareness. Slowly, I started to move my whole body. It was functioning okay, no problems. Good.
While still chanting my mantra, I looked at the face of the zombie again. A while ago, I was filled with dread. Now, it became comical. I laughed at how he was pitifully biting the glass window he could not hope to penetrate.
I smashed open the window, grabbed his head, and threw him away. He went flying a long way.
The landscape had changed. I was on a grassy plain, or rather, a grassy hill. I was on the top of it, surrounded by zombies. I thought of summoning my sword, turning into a vampire, or using magic. But no, I was bored by these old fashioned techniques. Though they were immensely powerful, I wanted to do something else this time.
I imagined a heavy machine gun. I looked in my pocket, and pulled out a small model of it. I looked away from it, expecting it to be life-size when I look back. I was successful. I now had a pretty heavy duty machine gun in my hand.



Laughing like a maniac, I opened fire. It was great. The machine gun's firepower was awesome. They were falling like hell, but they kept on coming. I blasted apart each and every one of them. A good thing to try to relive stress.
I constantly fired for about three or four minutes. When I stopped, all of them were down, blasted by innumerable bullets.
I stabilized my dream again, calming myself down and looking here and there. The scenario had changed again. I was on top of a snow mountain. There was a really strong blizzard going on. I couldn't see very far due to the snow. It was all pure white. Such a beautiful scenery could not possibly exist. I was completely mesmerized by it.
I went into a shallow cave. It was dry and warm. I could see the view outside. I couldn't believe it. Having lived in a desert all my life, I wished to go to a place like this. It was all so real. So calm. So peaceful. You wouldn't think that I was the guy who was killing zombies with a maniacal laugh just a few minuted ago. ^_^



Since I was so relaxed and at ease, I thought of trying something that I have been wanting to do for a long time. I stabilized my dream again, and raised my awareness by doing extra RCs, too. I did not want to wake up in the middle.
I sat down, and started to meditate. I cleared my mind of all thought. I calmed myself down further. Deep breaths. Peace of mind. I tried to leave all of my worries and problems behind. It felt really great, to do something like this once in a while.
I closed my eyes, to relax myself even more. But I kept using my other senses, to stay in the dream. I felt a kind of buzzing sensation. It was quite pleasant. Nothing like I have ever felt in real life.
I opened my eyes, and got a real shock. The landscape was not around me anymore. Actually, there was NOTHING around me anymore. I was floating in a void, but it was not black. It was pure white. It's whiteness was dazzling my eyes. I felt as if there was no gravity there, because I was freely suspended in air. The place had no end, no roof, nor floor. Just an endless expanse of space.
I looked here and there, but all I saw was the same never-ending whiteness. I 'forgot' that I existed in real life, rather, it was as if I really 'live in my dream world, and that it's not just some temporary thing.
Some kind of invisible force lifted me up. I could feel a kind of pulling sensation, as I moved toward the non-existent sky. I was surprised, but I was not scared. It did not feel as if a single negative emotion existed in this world.
Suddenly, I was bathed in a bright golden light. It was warm. I could feel a sense of exhilaration. It was amazing. I also heard a strange melody. Not like anything I have heard before. I got very excited. I felt a kind of a vibrating sensation. It was all so strange, but, it was pleasant. It was something I cannot put in words, no matter how hard I try.
The vibration [got more intense, as did the exhilaration. I was too naive, perhaps, for I woke up soon after that.
That was my first time meditating in an LD. I have practiced meditating before IRL, but not in an LD. After having an experience like this, I am going to try it more often. I didn't know that it was this cool!

Sword Goes Outta Control?!!

Date : 24th May, 2010

I was in a large and luxurious shopping center. There were three floors, and a lot of shops with weird stuff. I was with two of my friends. We all were eating a burger and drinking coke, and going around window shopping. (For some reason, we couldn't buy anything because we had only three million dollars.) I am walking a little faster than the other two, excited by the shops and the stores. We are on the topmost floor. There is a spot on the floor so that if you stand there, you could see the outside scenario and the entrance to the shopping center. I look out, and was surprised by what I saw.



It was exactly like the image above, and the dragon was the same, too. I was a little amazed, but not enough to turn me lucid. Excusing the whole thing as movie props, I look down the glass window, seeing the entrance. It was normal, alright. I could see a lavishly decorated Mercedes Benz as a prize for a draw displayed in the front. I think, "Cool. I think I saw something similar in real life................huh? Real Life?! What's that supposed to mean?! This is.......This is a dream!"
I become lucid. Wow. Cool RC. Anyways, the vision was not really clear, and the dream was unstable. After a round of the usual clarity and stability exercises, everything becomes crystal clear.
I get an idea. Why not act like a freaky monster and kill all the people here. They are just DCs, after all. I summon my katana again. I feel a rush of energy through my body, and a great sense of excitement. Rushing towards the nearest DC, I slash him in half. I see the same black flames around my sword again.
The surprised DC splits in half, alright, but after a while, a clean cut appears in the wall behind him, extending from one side of the center to another, slicing the whole building neatly in half. All the DCs there start to scream. I was surprised. I didn't intend to swing with that much force.
I studied it closely. Everything was same, and it was vibrating and shaking, as if trying to get out of my hands. I could see the words "Espada el Diablo" shining and glowing brightly.
Now I could feel a deep, dense, and dark aura from it. I could hear faint screaming from inside it. Now seriously considering destroying the sword, I look about for a means to smash it or something. As soon as I let it go, it breaks free of my grasp, points towards me and



stabs me in the stomach. I was very surprised. I had never heard of a summoned object doing so in a dream, going against the dreamer's will. I could feel pain in the wound. It was very realistic. I could also feel the wound burning. I start to faint. I rub my hands, but nothing happens. I spin, but instead of the dream stabilizing, I fall to the ground. Not good, at this rate I'll wake up! I was helpless. I kinda hoped that Leona would come again, but she didn't. I was losing consciousness. I looked at the sword again, and saw this.



Devil Jin. He was standing there, leering at me. In his hands was my sword. He started to laugh. A cold laugh that chilled my very bones. He took one last look at me, and swung the sword at me. An immensely powerful shock wave, and I wake up.

What THE hell is up with me? Too much fantasy, I think.

I get beat up....

I dreamed I was in my room. It was normal here. I couldn't tell it from real life. I was busy doing preparations for the trip to Alaska. I packed my clothes and stuff, inside a teapot. They all just shrank and zoomed inside the cup, fitting easily. It was almost like magic. But that was normal. Teacups are used as suitcases in real life anyways, I thought. I also remember putting in a toilet seat inside, for some purpose. When I had finished, I went out out my room. In real life, I have made a mental note to do an RC every time I open the door to my room. Following the habit, I look at the wall clock that hangs near my door. 1:30 pm. Quite normal. Oh yeah, I have to look twice. Almost lazily, I looked again at the clock, thinking that it was a waste of time. The time was now 1:15. Hmmmm, that's odd. Maybe I read the time wrong before? Oh well, I will miss my bus to the airport if I don't hurry. So I continue out again, but I find that the door is closed. I pull it open again, but no go. Now seriously doubting reality, I decided to nose-pinch. I could still breathe!
I become lucid. I tried to sharpen my view. I spun around. I didn't feel dizzy, but my vision was certainly a lot clearer, as if some kind of fog had been lifted. I looked at my hand, just for extra lucidity. There were seven fingers in both hands. Again, my lucidity increased quite a lot. I open the door to my room again, but it was locked. I didn't want to do anything particularly powerful or exciting so early into the lucid. So I just kicked it away.
But I was now inside a roman stadium. I was never good at history, so I probably didn't know what was going on. There was an audience in high benches all around. There were gold fences around me, but the arena itself had a floor of dirt, mud and clay. In the distance I could see split air-conditioners all around. Good. I don't like being in hot weather anyways. I was wondering what to do, when I noticed that the walls of the arena had cages inside them, and there were large tigers caged inside. They were wearing black and gold armor, and quite heavy ones at that.
Suddenly, a stage comes up with a commentator on it. He grabs the microphone, and shouts, "Battle of the warrior! Start the fight!"
Cool. Just what I wanted. Even my dreams know my preferences.
The bars of the cage disappeared into thin air. A lump of raw meat landed near to me. It was a bait. Smelling the meat, the tigers in heavy armor rushed at it. One of them took the meat and swallowed it whole. Now they were looking for food elsewhere, and spotted me.
My dream was destabilizing. I can tell when it's so because it starts to slowly fade/blur around the edges and then disappears whole. So I rubbed my hands. The faster I rubbed, the more the dream became clear. At last when it was clear enough, I did the nose-pinch RC again. I could still breathe.
The tigers were now circling me. I summoned my katana from thin air, expecting it to be in my hand when I look at it again. I decided to name it Darkness. If you look upon the description, it fits, really. It slowly materializes. But now there is something wrong. It feel heavier than before. There are black flames already around it. What?! I didn't do anything yet. Also, it was harder to control than before. It started to vibrate a little. But when I touched the sword, I really felt a kind of sadness and a thirst for killing. When I put it away, it was gone, but as soon as I held it again, there was that feeling again. And all the time there were black flames wrapped around it. Strange. True I had it only once before, but why is it so weird?
All this time I was pondering about my sword, the tigers were standing still, as if time was frozen. Now everything snapped back to reality. Dream reality, more like. I decided to fight using my sword, and just ignore the unusual behavior.
One of them jumps at me. What was that guy thinking? I love special effects during my dreams, because they are the only times I get to do stuff I can not do in real life, and I try to take as much fun from them as possible, not start meditating and go around asking my DC's or even Leona about life. Get to the point, fighting. I am a pretty peaceful guy IRL, y'know.
The tiger is now an inch away from me. I slash him, but the only thing my eyes can see is my hand blurring for a millisecond, and then back to the normal position. So this is what it felt like to have supernatural powers at will. A deep slash appears on the tigers middle, and he drops, making weird noises in pain. I take pity on him, because even if he's a DC, I don't like killing animals. I look away from him, and back again. Now he is completely cured, and small as a kitty. He meows a thanks. I said out loud to him, "Now go away before I unleash my passion of kicking kittens."
Though I was kidding, he fled. I realized I couldn't fight the others. I just don't like animals in pain. So when I look back at the whole bunch, I expect there to be a large number of skilled ninjas. My best technique is the expectation technique, because it always works for me. Indeed, there are about twenty or so ninjas now. One of them comes at me, wielding a white katana, which is more like a dagger. I disappear, and appear behind him again. My favorite move. He hangs in mid-air for a second, and then his body splits cleanly in two. If I made them all like real men, there would have been a lot of mess, so I just make dust shadows. Fun to kill, and they don't make a mess.
His body turns to dust and disappears. Enraged at the fall of their comrade, they all rush at me in sets of five or four. Too easy. I was going to use flash step again, but at the last moment my sword felt real heavy and started to vibrate quote violently. What's wrong with this thing?
PS you might be wondering that how come my LDs are so long? Well, a picture's worth a thousand words, so divide all that text by thousand and you get a frame of the whole video clip. In short, it takes much more typing to describe the dream than it takes to experience it.
Now the ninjas are dangerously near me. But I don't care. I can fight without my sword as well. I punch the one in the front in the face, and he flies back a long distance, hitting a wall and slumping to the ground. I beat all of them in about five seconds, and that includes the other ninjas as well.
I was still in that same old Rome style arena. And the audience was still there. With the ninjas out of the way, I decided to check what was wrong with my sword. It was still emanating that dark fire, and still was heavy and vibrating. The more I looked, the more there was to see. To give you guys an idea of what my sword is like, here's a pic:



But my sword is pure black instead of shining metal like the one above. I had never looked at my sword up close. There was the silver line along it's middle, alright. But now near the hilt, and on the blade, were engraved small words, reading "Espada el Diablo", literally meaning "The Devil Sword". Something to do with Bleach, I thought.
Suddenly, a sharp pain pierces my back. I got shot! No wonder I did, standing in the middle of an arena looking at my sword. I looked at my attacker. He was Dante, from Devil May Cry.



What the HELL?! I DO NOT play Devil May Cry!
"Surprised?", he says. "I figured you would be pretty strong, having defeated Nero."
So that's what it was all about.
"Wait, you got the wrong....."
He suddenly fires on of his guns at me. It was a direct aim at my head. I use my other favorite, rather instinctive move, tilting my head slightly to one side. Why, you ask? Because it looks cool.
"I have got no time to kid around, and I don't take shit from anyone except cute girls. Just fight already."
"As you wish."
I stabilize my dream again, just to be sure. That way I won't drop unconscious in the middle of the fight.
"Just to warn you, I am not that Nero guy. I am way ahead of him."
I see. No matter, I will defeat this guy as well.
I wait for him to make the first move. He suddenly appears on my right. What?! He was in front of me! Wait, he is still there! Two of them? The main one fires two simultaneous bullets, which I barely dodge in time. The copy, which I took for as being weak, kicks me hard in my side. It hits me, and I go flying over, smash into a wall, and fall to the ground. What the hell is with this guy? It's not like I am that weak or something, but this is damn crazy.
Instantly, he is standing by my side. He points a gun to my chest.
"I told you, I am not Nero."
He fires, aiming squarely for my heart.
A flash of blinding white light follows the blast. In real slow motion, I see Leona, in a dark cape, fly between my a Dante. Moving lightning-fast, she grabs the bullet heading towards my head in mid-air with her finger and thumb, then grabs me and flash steps a distance away.
Now I notice that she is also wearing an armor of some sort. It's black and purple. Nice combo. She smacks me on the head.
"OW! What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"You are pathetic. Asking for a DC that powerful and getting beat up."
"Hey, I didn't summon him, he came by himself."
"Yeah, and you didn't long for a strong opponent all this time, did you?
"Well............."
"Tch...............what an idiot. Can't even control your own emotions."
She disappears from beside me. Now she is face to face with Dante. I get up to help, but my body is paining to much to even stand up. I feel a kind of vibrating and a burning sensation.
"Just stay where you are. I'll take care of this guy."
Hearing that, Dante says, "I'm sorry missy, but I don't really fight with girls. How 'bout we get a nice drink instead?'
"Don't underestimate me." she says, glaring at him. In third person, I saw her eyes contract to cat-like slits, her expression angry and cruel. Her eyes were red again.
She disappears from view. I deep wound appears on Dante's right hand. He drops his gun in pain.
"I told you, don't underestimate me."
Leona is behind him! He quick jumps back a good distance away, grinning.
"I see what you mean. Sorry, but I'll have to go all out against you. No hard feelings, 'kay?"
He disappears, and so does Leona. They are so damn fast, I can't even see them. All I see is just faint blurs, bursts of Dante's gun, and sparks of light. They finally stop. Dante is on one knee, panting. Leona is still unhurt, and is smiling. Dante gets up.
"I'll have to use my ultimate technique."
Suddenly, there are ten Dante-s all around Leona.
"This enables me to make copies of myself, each as strong as me."
They all open fire. But Leona is too fast for all of them. She defeats each and every single one of them in a flash.
"Copies, eh?"
Now there are countless Leona-s there. They all are moving independently. One of them says, "Then how about this? This is time control. Each and every one of these is me. That's because to you, I am here."
Another one says, "And I am also here."
Dante is standing in shock. He can't begin to comprehend anything. Time freezes. Or rather, Leona freezes time. But there are about 20 more Leona-s there. What the HELL?!
One of them says to me, "I am freezing time every time I freeze time, creating loops of time freezes. That way, each and everyone of myself is behaving independently, is controlled by me, and can attack more than twice at once. My ultimate technique."
This is too much for me to grasp. All of the Leona-s jump up, and send a huge wave of energy at Dante, who is frozen.
I can see the instant the shock waves hit, and then feel the power. One of the shock waves, when I was hit by it, split my body nearly in half when Leona used that move. To think a single person would receive over 20 of those. The explosion was unfathomable, and Dante disappears, totally wiped out by the extreme explosion.
I was losing control and vividness. I knew I couldn't hold on, the pain was too great. That was a powerful blow.
"Hey Leona! Just tell me one thing, are you my DG or someone else's as well?"
"Ah, you are worried after reading those posts on the forum, are you?"
"How'd you know that?!"
'I am your subconscious after all. But no, it's definitely not possible for two people to have the same Dream Master, thats coz DMs are manifestations of you personality."
"Really? Does that mean my personality is girl-like?"
'What an idiot! Don't you see any other quality besides being a girl? Never mind. I am only your subconscious. Yours only."
"Sounds more like a love confession, you know."
She punches me in the face. But there is a smile on her face.
"Thats another couple of week's of hell training for you!"
"Wha..........?"
I couldn't do anything anymore. I feel my whole body shaking, then vibrating violently. I try to rub my hands, but nothing happens. I feel like I am floating in a void. I don't remember anything after that. Dozed off to normal sleep, I guess.

Time to test the newfound Power!

WARNING : a VERY epic dream!

I was trying to WBTB. After waking up from a sleep for two hours and spending the last half hour on MILDing, I laid down at my bed. About after fifteen long minutes of staying still, I felt myself entering SP. At first, I only heard whispers, and something like wind blowing. Soon, I felt those waves of vibration going through my body. My hands and feet felt numb. I soon lost control over my limbs. Now I can see flecks of light darting here and there. They grow, join and multiply, forming geometric shapes and symbols. These shapes joined together to form objects. I could see a clock, a pillow, a pen and a hammer.
Now a whole scene forms around me. I am inside an old building, or perhaps a storehouse. Everything here is broken and dusty. The place is three floors high, and quite large. I concentrate more and more, and I can see everything in perfect detail now. Just to be sure, I rub my hands, and start to feel here and there. Now the experience becomes life-like.
I thought I might as well try to use some weapons. Bleach style. I concentrate on a sword, and it starts to form in my hands. It starts as a hilt of black color, then a silver guard materializes. After that, the blade forms. The blade is pure black, darker than anything you can imagine. Along it's middle runs a thin silver line. It extends, until it forms a curved, extremely thin black katana.
I decide to try this baby out. Nearby is a pillar made of marble. I swing my sword, and it passes right through it. The pillar remains intact for a second, and then a smooth cut appears, and it topples over. Amazing, like a warm knife through butter.
I decided to fight using this. I go out, expecting a large army to be outside the door. Indeed, I see a large number of monsters, perhaps a thousand or two, gathered in front of me. I grin. Battle time.
Like a mad warrior, I run up to the whole army. They scatter before my blade, totally powerless. Their pathetic iron armor is no match for my sword, and I slice through them easily. I stab, jab, cut, and dice them. It was epic.
There were still a lot of them. Good. I use magic again, and use it to merge fire with my blade. Suddenly, flames erupt from it. It looks as if my katana is on fire. I swing my sword, and everything within it's reach gets devoured by the unstoppable fire. I jab my sword into the ground, and flames spread from that point in a circle, instantly burning up anything within 20 meters radius.
I start to lose lucidity. Not good. Again, I focus on the environment, and do a reality check to make sure my lucidity remains high.
While I was stabilizing the dream, the monsters had rushed at me, and were a foot away from me. In a panic, I touched the tattoo on my arm. Everything pauses, as if time was frozen. Then my tattoo starts to spread throughout my entire body. A burst of ki energy follows my transformation, which is enough alone to knock down an elephant or two. I start to morph. I see my transformation in 3rd person view. My eyes become cat-like slits, and turn red. My nails turn into claws. I grow two inch long fangs.
Now my view is back to first person. I feel an amazing rush of energy, a feeling no drug can provide. With a speed that even my own eyes can not register, I cut through each and every one of my enemies. They all stand for a moment in shock, and then split neatly in two.
Too easy. I want more of a challenge. My hunger for blood can not be satisfied by these mere peons. I go inside a castle, expecting the ultimate boss to be there. I open the door, and find him already waiting for me. The guy is ---------



Nero from Devil may Cry!
I was surprised for a bit, because I don't really play DMC that much. But what the heck, as long as he puts up a good fight.
I rush towards him wielding my sword. He catches it with his bare hand. WHAT THE HELL?!
"Hmph......Amateur."
He brings out his own sword, a bright blue, beautifully curved one. He slashed at my head, but I dodge it in time. Concentrate! He disappears. I bring my sword to my back, successfully parrying his strike. I was so used to this move with the training from Leona. He throws his sword high into the air. I was surprised. He grins, and takes out double pistols, one in each hands, and opens fire.
What's with this guy?! His aim is absolutely precise. I deflect most of the bullets with my sword, and avoid the others. I see an opening. If I can just keep avoiding and deflecting his bullets, maybe I can come close enough to attack him directly.
I decide to test this theory. Swiftly moving and using a series of flash steps, I come up close to him. He fires five or so more bullets, all of which I neatly block with my sword. Finally, I am right in front of him. I expect him to be surprised, but instead I see a smile on his face.
"Like I said......Amateur!"
Oh Shit! I had forgotten about his sword. He drops his gun, and his sword, which had been air-borne all this time, falls right into his hands. He blocks my to-be-fatal slash with it. I grin.
"You're the amateur here."
I put my palm to the unsharpened side of my blade, and give it a little push. A huge shock wave comes out of my katana, severing his sword in half. The whole castle collapses. He is surprised. The top half of his sword falls down, and he can not see anyone there. I had flash stepped behind him.
I say, "Like you said, amateur!"
I pierce his back, and then slice it, so that his whole body is cut in half. He turns to dust and melts away.
Man, that was an exhausting fight. My vision starts to fade. But I am too tired to do anything, and it looked like my LD time was over. I tried to spin, but it didn't work, and the dream faded.

Leona = Vampire............. = ME?!!

Note : This is a more detailed version of my previous post in the Lucid Experiences section.

Fragment : I am riding the bus home. The whole bus is empty. There is a raging storm outside. I take out a cigarette, and take a puff from it.

Fragment : I am on an endless bridge. Walking. The bridge never ends. No purpose, no goal. Just walking ahead.

I was on an ocean liner, travelling to Hawaii for some reason. The view was beautiful. There was the sea all around me. I suddenly feel the urge to go to the bathroom. I find the ships toilet, and go inside. It was quite spacious, and exotically decorated to a light pink tint. I found it luxurious. I found the door to a stall, and
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Inside was a man, no a zombie. He had one arm missing, and blood was gushing out of his mouth.



I ran back, and now was on a tropical island, with a lush forest, standing in the middle of the sea. Shit! Trapped! Sea on all sides! Anyways, I run away, but the zombie is still chasing me with that horrible limp of his. I went into the thick forest, hoping to find some cover. Bad idea. Now I can not find my way out. Plus it is so dark here that I can not see a thing. I can only listen to sounds. There are some incomprehensible sounds, but nothing else. I wait suspiciously, but nothing happens. So I walk in a random direction, hoping to get out of here. As soon as I took a step, the zombie jumped at me. I ran back, and somehow could see everything better than before.
Now, there is a whole bunch of monsters, including ogres, chimeras, and every other disgusting monster you can imagine. The absurdness of the situation dawns upon me, and I become lucid. All the monsters suddenly charge at me. Too easy. I use super speed, that their eyes cannot follow. I disappear, and reappear behind them. There is a pause, and they slump to the ground, unconscious. Being used to Leona's speed and strength, these guys are small fry for me.
There is still a large number left. Attack in numbers, huh? I take a pill out of my pocket, and flash step right into their middle. I quickly plant the pill in the ground, and flash step again to a good distance away. I snap my fingers, and the pill suddenly blows up, with a blast that could have turned a mansion into a pile of rubble.
No go. I have killed a lot of them, but they don't stop coming. I need more destructive power. I use magic again, and those rings appear on my wrists. They are black rings, outlined with silver and having symbols inside, each standing for a different magic power. But these small rings are small scale only. So I put my left hand closer to the rind on my left wrist, imagine it sticking into it, and pull it away, making the rings larger. Now they start to turn and revolve around me. The symbols inside them start to rotate. There are ALWAYS the same six symbols ; fire, water, earth, air, light and darkness. Trust me, I have drawn them in my DJ upon waking up, and Googled it. They were that because I am greatly fond of those symbols, so they were bound to appear there.
My vision starts to fade. Oh shit! Got too excited! I calm myself down, touch here and there, and concentrate on the environment to stabilize the whole dream. I am successful.
I touch the light symbol, and immediately, my whole body starts to glow. Then a bright golden hemisphere starts to expand from me, engulfing everything. The monsters are twitching in pain. The light covers the whole island. It blinds them and tears them apart.



Then I touch the darkness symbol. A wave of pure darkness follows the light. It eats up anything and everything it touches. Or rather, wipes it away, leaving not a single trace.
Then the hemisphere of light starts to shrink. It vanishes soon. Now I can see blood and dead bodies every where. But they are still coming in large numbers. What THE hell?
I have no time to react. They grab my legs and arms, preventing movement. One of them, a guy with a shark's head, bites my foot. Ahhhh!! Another one drives his horn deep into my stomach. Blood is pouring freely out of my wounds, and I cough out some of it.
I was so embarrassed, caught up in the same situation again. And again, there was that flash of white light, and I found myself beside Leona once again. But this time, she did not defeat my enemies, merely rescued me.
"You still have a lot to learn. And here I thought you were doing pretty well. Can't you tell they are all illusions?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Come on, a number of monster that survive double magic attacks, and at that level? Surely even you had noticed."
"Oh yeah!"
"You didn't notice, did you? Hmph. See that small guy over there, the one in black robes? He's the main one."
"I see."
Summon a sniper rifle, one that seems made by aliens. I aim quickly, and fire. A blue ball of energy flows out at a great speed and hits the guy squarely on the head, blowing his head off. At once, all of the monsters disappear, by turning into dust and being blown away.
"Phew. Thanks Leona!"
She moves closer too me, with this seductive look in her eyes. We are alone here in the building. Weren't we on an island in the middle of the sea? Oh well. She moves closer to me. I feel myself completely numb, unable to move. I was mesmerized. She puts her hand on my cheek, bringing me closer. I close my eyes. I could feel her warm breath. And then, I feel a sharp pain in my neck!
I open my eyes, and see that she bit me. I could see my own blood pouring out of the wound in my neck. There was this amazing pain there. I pulled away.



"What the HELL do you think you are doing?!"
"I am sick of watching you getting beat up and coming to save you all the time. That's why I have decided to give you some of my powers."
"Some of.......your powers?"
"Yeah. I just made you a vampire."
"Vam.......wait, WHAT?!"
"Yeah, what's there to be shocked? In fact, don't you feel something in your body?"
As soon as she says it, I became aware of a burning sensation in my neck, where there were two holes, that looked like they were made by fangs. Then I felt a VERY hot liquid moving down my neck, into my veins, then into my arms, and finally my whole body. I writhe and twist horribly in pain. The pain was very realistic, and agonizing. After what seemed like ages, the pain finally stopped. I looked at my hands and feet, and they were perfectly normal (or as normal as they could be in a dream). And now, I feel a rush of excitement. My body feels very light, and my movements become much more faster, more powerful and smoother. It was an amazing feeling, better than steroids.
"Well, now you're a vampire."
I am still too shocked to grasp anything.
"But.....wait a minute, I thought only vampires could turn others into vampires. And what's with the neck biting and drinking blood and whatever?"
"Ah, about that. I guess I haven't really showed you my true form yet, have I?"
"True.......WHAT?!"
Then she stands up, and I notice for the first time, a vivid tattoo on her arm. She suddenly puts her finger to it, and it stars to expand, until it consumes her own body. After a few moments, she turns into a flying monster, one with fangs and wings and those narrow, slit-like eyes. I was either too shocked or excited by this, and I was slowly losing control. Maybe she sensed it, and she shouts, "To turn into a vampire, just touch the tattoo on you arm!" And then, the dream fades.
