A Night Out (DILD)

★★★★★

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

There's an HvZ game afoot. I'm speeding down the road to my old high school because there's a mission going down in the area. My old Maxima handles beautifully at those speeds, but, with the traffic, I can't get to the left lane in time, so I'm forced onward. The roads by these residential townhouses were too small to drive through in order to turn around, so I had to wait 'till I reached the end of the street.

When I got there, I parked, got out, and made my way through a building into a plaza, of sorts, with a colorfully tiled ground and a round stone fountain. It was a clear, almost eerie, night. A dark blue atmosphere lined the skyline, wafts of orange tint flowed through the countless stars. Each star burned brightly, making up for the lack of moon. The click of nerf guns could be heard in the distance. I had to get moving.

Making my way back through the lightless building, a girl bursts through the front door, running wildly past me, dropping a bunch of sonic micros as she goes. Crap, I don't have any of my gear, I thought, frantically gathering as many of the darts up as I could. As I approached the front door, it started to open. Knowing there would be a zombie behind it, I chucked my load of newly acquired darts. My victim was peppered with black foam and orange rubber. Too bad she wasn't even playing.

Not letting that ruin my fun, I magically made my way back to the school, on foot, via time lapse. Dreams are cool like that. The lobby had a sickening tinge to it, like you would find in an abandoned hospital. There were traces of mold growing in the corners. Black grime thinly coated the walls. My nerves were starting to get the best of me. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I'm ambushed. But, this isn't your typical HvZ player, this is a full blown zombie. She jumps on me, digging her fingernails into my neck. There's no way this can be happening. This has to be a dream.

It is a dream. The realization swept over me, and as the room around me started to become clearer and more vivid, so did the foul thing grasping onto me. I tried very hard not to look into its blue veined and rotting face as I attempted to rip off its head. However, the harder and harder I tried, the more she held onto me and the less her neck would budge. Brute force wasn't working.

I hate that bird so much.

Edit for clarification: My mother owns a bird that likes to squawk very loudly in the morning after it's been uncovered.

The great diverge

I don't know where to start with this one.

I was sliding down a water slide. I reached the bottom and instead of splashing into the water I was suddenly in my room on my dream laptop.
I was readinga message from Leo Zumi? That name was familiar. but not correct. The last name was off. Zagumi perhaps? no. Zagami. YeS LEO ZAGAMI! His message was hard to read. Damn dream words anyway. All i made out was "Under Attack". Under attack? who? him? or me?

I found myself floating above outside a mall. 3 Women were standing in a triangle holding hands. I wondered what they were doing. As I was thinking this I was walking down a hallway in my house My mother was standing by the garage door which was also a bathroom. She yelled Inanities at me as i walked by. I stepped into the garage/bathroom. I went to the mirror and opened it. I didn't feel like looking at myself right now. I grabbed my toothbrush. I looked around the rest of the small shelves behind the mirror.
No toothpaste. I closed the mirror and looked on the counter by the sink. Still no toothpaste. fuck it I thought and splashed water on my toothbrush. I'll bear the pain of no toothpaste. I began brushing. it was uncomfortable. At least i was getting the scum off... My dentist would be happy at least. I looked up at the mirror. I was hoping the scum on my front teeth was gone. But i wasn't looking at my reflection.

I saw my laptop. I was sitting there at my laptop. Forget Leo's message I thought, i better check Mortal Mist and See if The Cusp Remembered my dream about him. maybe it was a mutual dream?
I went to his DJ. He indeed had an entry about me. it read "I talked with Man of Shred in a dream. he had a lot of bogus ideas. him and his dreamshare crew are a bunch of idiots". At least he remembered the dream... as for the rest. what a prick. Fuck it. I'll add it to the dreamshare thread anyway.

I was looking down at the outdoor mall scene again. The 3 women were standing in a triangle holding hands. I saw two people approach them. There were leaves swirling around the two people. the leaves turned into mist. They looked familiar. but i couldn't put a finger on it. It was a man and a woman. The woman grabbed one of the 3 women by the arm and tugged them tightly. The woman in the triangle wouldn't budge. The woman who was pulling said to the man. "He's caught in a love triangle he can't get out of." him I thought... Those are all women...

My perception of the event change. I saw myself, Asuka, and Sydney sitting in the hallway by the garage door from the inside all holding hands with their eyes shut.. The door was left open.
That's right! I thought. I had invited Sydney to my house before i fell asleep so that me, her and, Asuka could share energies to create an inner dream!... then why was i floating above them?

I was in my garage/bathroom brushing my teeth. I saw something in my perphials. I looked to the door that entered the house I saw clouds of dark energy seeping into the garage. A voice in my head sounded. it said "Vex is wanting to dream with you again... she has questions."

"Not now" I said to the voice speaking to me. "I don't want to expose her to dark energy. Critical stage... Dark energy would ruin it... Wait a minute... Why was there Dark energy in my inner world?"

I was floating above myself, Asuka and Sydney. I saw two dark specters surrounding them. Sydey had created a tight forcefield around us, combining our energies, to keep the dark energy out. There wasn't too much dark energy surrounding the two people tho. I could make them out. It was A and P. My Old foes. I floated as a point of conciousness into the garage where myeself was stinding at the mirror brushing. I entered his body. I was now staring at the garage door where A and P were trying to pull me from the dream triangle. A said "They are creating a strong forcefield. I can't pullthem from the triangle."

"HEY!" I shouted at them. They Turned and looked at me. A did a double take... "WHADDYA THIK YOU"RE DOING?" I yelled at her.

"You fucking Bastard!" A screamed at me.Her and P then charged at me.
We then had begun something like a Kung fu fight in my garage. Our arms sped up faster than the eye could see.

But she had not charged at me at all. She was still standing there....
WTF?!?!?!?

"You've Got no Fucking right!" she yelled at me.

"No, YOU'VE got no right coming into MY HOUSE and MY DREAM. Especially when I told you a bazzilion times to stay the hell out! That Child Sydney is already stronger than you. You can't even get through her force field. It's Game over... Now LEAVE!" I said. I was getting angry. VERY ANGRY!

"No!" She yelled like a 4 year old having a Temper Tantrum. "You're hurting her. You're doing things to her... Worse than a snuff film!" She stammered.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I said. "Look at her." A was Still transfixed on me. "LOOK AT HER!" I yelled. at A. "Does she look like she's being harmed in any way?"

A looked confused. "What are you doing there?" she asked indicating to the three of us sitting in a circle.

"We're creating an inner dream." I said. " I thought i had told you about that before... and BTW Before YOU showed up we were all dreaming about being at a Waterpark..."

" BULLSHIT!" She yelled again. "You're doing MORE than that."

"That's true." I said. "All three of us Are sharing our energy. It helps her get stronger... you know that. It helps my recall at times. Nothing wrong is going on at all. Asuka is sharing her Energy. Raven once joined in as well. Now Why are so fixated on me still? Is it Really about her?"

"It's true, He's helping me" Sydney chimed in while she briefly broke out of trance.

It looked like A was about to say something but she knew she was beat. But she Was stubborn. I cut her off and went into a rant. " BY THE WAY. I know for a Fact that she doesn't like P."

"THAT'S RIGHT" Sydney Chimed in again.

" And did you know that for a while. P unknowingly created his own false image of Sydney in his own inner world for a while and didn't know? That's right the one that he thought was confusing me with him." I put my hand over my mouth concealing a laugh."There's NO FUCKING WAY. anyone could confuse me with him. That would be like confusing a Toad with a Swan. You say That I am hurting her. I ask you to look at her again. When she was released from you she looked like a malnourished five year old. After a few months of my 'hurting her' She looks as healthy as ever. Her dreambody looks like she's pushing 10 years of age now."

both A and P were both shaking with rage. I knew they were about to attack. "You got no Fucking right" A yelled again. but her words sounded empty. I made a pushing gesture with my hands and transparent Vectors shot out from each hand. The ends went into A and P foreheads and I lifted them from the ground.
"Now what I wanna know." I said. "Is how you got released from your prison A". The vectors began probing their minds. I was getting images of a black monster trying to penetrate a shield with A encased inside. The black monster was now talking to Remote viewers. The same ones that had been harassing me and the rest of my dreaming crew.
"so that's it. I said. "P made a deal with the Templars and they helped him get you released. Of course! It's what i put in my laptop. It all makes sense now." I then was reminded of when nomad failed to read what was in my laptop, before he took the hard drive out and put it into my head in his dream. I then noticed my Vectors were feeding back to me Dark energy. I became engraged. Two more vectors came from behind my shoulders and wrapped around them both. I then grabbed a hold of the vectors with my hands and began bashing A and P around the garage.

I hit them against the ceiling, walls and concrete countless times. In another dream i was continuing the Kung fu fight. I did an overpunch at A. she blocked but i followed up with and under punch and hit her in the stomach. She held her torso and backed into the driveway. I then grabbed P's face and did a sweeping kick on him and I slammed his head on the pavement as he fell. suddenly i was still throwing them around the garage with my vectors.

I dragged them outside. Dark energy was seeping into me. Nomad just came out of a portal. He did a double take.
"DAMN YOU NOMAD!" I yelled. "If you would have just read for me what was in that laptop, instead of showing off none of this would have happened." I then threw A and P at him. He ducked out of the way.I could sense the dark energy was influencing my hatred. Just what the templard wanted. "I'll cuss you out another day nomad." And P were rolling on the ground but began to get up. "but first help me get them beyond the barrier that Raven set up." Just then a Wave emanated out of P. both him and A were floating up in the air now. The Wave hit us and knocked us back. A had thrown fireballs out of her hands and hit me. I was getting tired now. Would nomad be able to finish them off without me?

"STOP IT RIGHT THERE!" I looked up. There were two tall green elves floating just beyond the barrier that Raven had set up. It was a and P from the time of Mu. Mu P threw a kind of bubble with a chain at P. which grabbed P. Mu P pulled him beyond the barrier. they dissapeared in a pillar of yellow light. Mu A had A by the hair and yanked her beyond the barrier.
Mu A was furious. "WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO HURT HIM." She yelled. " YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Mu A yelled at A again. "Stop trying to hurt him". She told A.

"Woah." nomad said. he seemed to have recovered a bit.

"Woah is right." I told him. "I think we are witnessing the very thing that corrupted her soul... A dream time paradox of all things!" I said.

"Don't worry." Mu A said. "I'll see to it that she'll never touch you again. You won't see me here for that matter again either." Mu A zipped off with A in a pillar of yellow light.

"Sorry i yelled at you Nomad." i said. "It's the dark energy... I need healing."

the alarm clock woke me up.

here's what the vectors kind of looked like

There are two dreams I want to add. First happened a while ago this year. The other one happened today.

This dream didn't last very long. But I liked it :3

I was at school and hanging out with my friends. We were all talking about something when out of no where my one of my friends came up to me and was acting a bit funny. I felt my heart racing and knew what she wanted from me. She then asked me out and I said yes. This about the time I woke up.

Now this one got me thinking. This dream happened today. I may just end up asking the girl out :3

I was in a classroom of some sort and I was standing up in front of the class with someone else. I think I was in line to ask the teacher something. Anyway, my friend (the same friend in the previous dream) asked to use the bathroom. She left for a bit and came back completely naked. Everyone was in shock. She starts walking up to me and next thing I know, she hugs me from behind and kisses me on the neck. She also said, "I like you." I snapped out of my shock and grabbed her by the arm and ran out the room. I struggled to take my jacket off while asking her questions. I can't remember everything I asked her but I think it had to do with something about why she came into the class naked.
That's about where I woke up.

I was at school with Michele and a bunch of girls, when suddenly the fire alarm went off. We all ran out, but my homeroom teacher started yelling at us to hurry up anyway. Suddenly, someone yelled "TITS!" and made the dream change.

I was still with Michele, but we were at some intersection downtown where there was a festival going on. Suddenly, three expensive looking cars pulled up. One said "Nice Tits" on the side, one said "Anal Sex" and one said "Motorola Pornography" (I have no idea, lol!). Suddenly, Michele pulled out a bazooka and shot the "Motorola Pornography" car. After it exploded, he ran away and gave me a pistol. I was suddenly thrown into a murderous rage, and ran towards the "Nice Tits" car. It was filled with strippers or Hooters girls or something wearing skimpy outfits, and I started shooting them. The car tried to drive away, but I grabbed on to the inside and killed the rest of the girls. After I got out, the "Anal Sex" car tried to run me down, but I shot out the tires. I was about to start shooting the girls inside it (who were naked) when a crowd of bystanders grabbed me and restrained me.

Suddenly the dream shifted ahead and I was in jail. A guard (who looked like my homeroom teacher) came to tell me I was going to be executed, and led me out of my cell. The jail actually looked more like a cheap motel than a jail, and was apparently in Moose Jaw. (Moose Jaw is a town in Northern Canada, for those who don't know.) I was taken to a strange indoor amusement park, where I was handcuffed to an enormous rope attached to a centrifuge. The centrifuge began to spin on an angle, sending me flying outward and rotating repeatedly. The rope was cut, and I went flying through the air. I was supposed to die, I suppose, but instead I landed on the stage of a Coldplay concert. I asked the drummer to call an ambulance, and then woke up.

This new Dream Journal system seems pretty cool. Time to test it out by posting a couple of my favorite dreams.

"Don't go out there...please..."

Now this was a pretty sweet dream, or was it a nightmare?

Right so, was a girl in this dream. It started off with me and this girl inside this small room. She pointed to a door and told me not to go out there. I didn't ask why. Also, it was set in the future, I say this because there were these little robots. Like cleaning robots and helper robots. They didn't play much of a role though...

Anyway, we were in this room. After she told me not to leave, we just kind of sat around and talked and read books. That all went by fast though, like in a movie. Then we sat next to each other and we did something (I think I accidentally touched her boob) and then we started to have sex. This also went by fast, and after it was over with I fell asleep inside the dream.

When I awoke, the door was opened, and she was gone. I looked out the door into a hallway that was made of like bathroom tiles. The only light that was in the hallway was coming from the room I was in. I somehow obtained a flashlight. I wanted to find my female friend, so I turned on my light and headed out. I entered a room that looked like a small kitchen (like the ones in restaurants). The place was a mess. Like someone wrecked it. The place was all grimy and messy.

Everything was dark and scary, but I kept going forward. Then I heard a small crash behind me. I flung around and there was a small cleaning robot thing that ran into a bucket. I guess it was following me.

I turned around and looked around the kitchen some more. I turned around and noticed some blood on the walls and floor leading out of the kitchen.

Unfortunately, I woke up after this. I wanted to find my female friend

Honestly wish this dream lasted longer.

This afternoon, I was on DV chat (awake), I was tired, so I lay back, and fell asleep. I don't remember now the dream I had then.
I woke up, and I never moved. I thought to myself "Hmmm, I feel like DEILDing" so what I did was, I kept still, and I just simply said to myself "I am dreaming, I am dreaming, I am dreaming..." and as I started to fall asleep, the most amazing thing ever happened.

All of a sudden, I felt as if I was being spun round and round in my bed, still in the same spot, just being spun really fast. I felt like I was awake, so it was extremely strange, but I knew it wasn't real (I was also still telling myself "this is a dream"), so I enjoyed it while it was there.

Then I was in a building, I think it was my bedroom. But I was still being wooshed about by something invisible, and it was taking me around all the places I have become lucid in the past, and a few other places, as if it wanted me to choose a place.

I found it annoying that it wouldn't let me go. It then took me to the house of an old friend of mine. And I was starting to get quite annoyed that it wouldn't let me go, so I struggled out of it just as the thing was about to take me to somewhere else.

I couldn't stand up properly, it was as if I was very very drunk. So I sat down. And the room changed to something of a similar shape, but it wasn't my friend's house.

Some really good looking girls started coming in, and of course, the first thing I thought was that I should take this opportunity for sex.

But... The crucial thing that I had forgotten. The thing that I have been trying to get into my thick skull, is that any time I think about having sex in a dream, I start to wake up. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
So of course, I woke up before I could do anything.


So, I was pretty pissed off at myself for making the same mistake I always make. I need to remember to stay away from sex in dreams, at least until I master attaining lucidity, THEN I can start to fix my problems.

But, this dream was not a total waste, because of that experience at the start. That was very very amazing.

First off, I ended up not doing a nap WILD. But I aim to at some point when I get the chance.

I remember a dream where I was on the computer (surprise surprise) and I went on the game "Runes of Magic" and it seemed normal, and I would not have known it was a dream at all right now, had I not gone on this game after I woke up, I played the game and noticed something that wasn't there any more. And I then remembered, the time when I got that thing that isn't there any more, I was in a dream. (p.s. that thing I am referring to is a diamond)

-------------------------------

The last dream from this morning involved me and my cousin getting the death sentence, I can't remember the details of the dream, but I remember the whole big dream was us being brought on a big journey to where we get killed, I was very upset the whole time, except for bits when I tried to cheer myself up, then I would remember again what was about to happen. But it got to the point where I realised all the things I wanted to do with my life that I have not yet done, and I even said to my cousin (in tears) "I don't want to die, I have wanted to do so many things before I die, which I haven't done yet. I swear to god, I really hope there is a heaven, no joke".

I got very upset, and that was when I woke up, to find tears on my face.

I had never realised how scared of death I am.

Black = AwakeBlue = LucidRed = Dream

Nothing last night, which was kind of annoying, but anyway, I guess I'll write about one of the first recurring nightmares i had as a kid, before i learned how to wake up form them.

Location: Back alley by a lake

I was walking down the street minding my own business, not sure exactly where i was going, but i know i was walking away form Oneida Lake in central New York. Nothing was out of the ordinary, a few cars were driving by and there were several other people walking along the street. I then heard some female scream as if she was terrified of something, and when i turned around, i saw a man with a gun chasing her. He then noticed i was looking at him, and started chasing me! I quickly turned to my right and ran down an alley where there were large cardboard boxes that i could fit into. Granted i was only 8, so there wasn't much of me that had to fit. I tried hiding in one of the boxes but the gunman ran over and threw the box away. I was petrified and I couldn't move. I somehow then managed to get up and run out of the alley, while the gunman just stood there.

I thought i had got away when i felt a strong push from behind me and i lay face down in the gutter. It is now that a crowd of people form around my body and i start seeing things form a 3rd person view from above and behind the crowd. I could see a hole in my back and blood dripping from it, and I also saw the gunman turn away and run. Nobody said anything and no one tried to chase down the gunman. It was about this point that i saw a very bright white light and could hear the voices and screams fading. All throughout this i felt no pain, only a strong sadness that almost made me cry. It was about 5 seconds after i saw the light that I woke p all sweaty and with a pain in my back. I quickly got up and ran to the mirror expecting to see a bullet hole, but i was 100% fine.

This dream was non-lucid the whole way, I had it this morning just before I woke up.
I was in a strange place which seemed to me to be a lot like the map "Castle" from Call of Duty World at War, except a lot bigger. I had an awesome red suit on with a sort of cape on it. There were other people too with their own suit, their suits were similar to mine except different colours and decorations.

I was at the highest point of this strange place, I looked down and I jumped down trying to glide down with my cape. It didn't turn out the way I had wanted it too. I didn't glide too well down, I just kind of jumped to the bottom, very "un-gracefully". But, when I landed at the bottom, you will never guess who was there; Slayer. And he had a red suit on too, but his suit was darker red than mine.

Slayer told me that if I press "G" I could glide with my cape.
------------
Confused yet? I wouldn't be surprised if you were. The thing is that I felt as if I was in a computer game, when he told me to press "G", I didn't actually even press anything, I just sort of had it in my mind and I felt as if I had used that control. It has happened in a few dreams before.
------------
So, I did what Slayer told me to, I got to the top and I glided down perfectly. And, CanceledCzech Followed me down. His suit was green. I gradually learned to be able to fly, rather than just glide.

After a while of messing about flying around with Slayer and CanceledCzech, I went behind this hut looking building, next to a gate. And what do you know, Lulian was there. I can't remember properly, I never wrote this down when I woke up, but I think his suit was in fact this sort of colour.

Then while we were there, This other guy came in, with a strange name, something like "Gonatron" or something of that sort that started with "G". He had a black suit on with a red, lava pattered, dragon head mask on. He seemed like a bad guy, But I think we all ended up good friends, then something bad happened to Lulian, I wasn't sure what, but he ended up needing to share a body with that "Gonatron" guy. They were then deciding upon a name to call themselves, They came to something like "Golulion" or something.


This dream was full of DreamViews members related stuff. There was Slayer, CanceledCzech and Lulian. And they all (as I remember) had the colour of suit that their colour of text is in chat. (including me, I had my red suit which is what I would use a lot in chat, when I'm not using black)
Also, That thing that happened to Lulian, I think that was to represent the fact that Lulian was banned yesterday. And the thing with him sharing a body with someone else, I don't know why, but that just makes me think that would represent that I think he probably made an Alt, or hacked into someone elses account. (In no way am I accusing him of doing that, but it just seems like the kind of thing he would do for a laugh)
And of course I am sure the reason Slayer was the one that helped me with the "game's controls" was because he is a gamer.

Black = AwakeBlue = LucidRed = Dream

Location: My kitchen

I was sitting in my kitchen and my mom told me something that made me call 911. Right as the operator answered, "Hello, 911, what is your emergency?" I hung up. My cell phone then vibrated and when i looked at it, it said "1 new txt message." When i read the message it said something like, "Police and ambulance on the way. Hung up on 911" I then redialed 911 but hung up after 2 rings, and then woke up.

The reason this is important to me is because when i was little (like 5 or 6) my dad told me to call the next door neighbors to see if my sister would come home. When i finished dialing the number a woman with the same voice in my dream answered, "Hello, 911, what is your emergency?" I said nothing, I just stood there scared (Granted i was 5) and she kept saying, "Hello?" I then hung up and they sent a police car to my house . The police officer asked me if i called 911 by mistake and i nodded my head. He then had a long talk to me about abusing 911, which i remember nothing of. (My parents told me that part)

My first entry to my dream journal is a dream I found rather interesting. It happened this morning just before I woke up.


I was in the canteen of my school, when the devil (just looked like a normal person though) appeared and sent me to some sort of other world, and told me I had to figure out within 10 years how to get out.

The other world started with a small brown room with no windows or doors, is slowly expanded into the canteen in my school again. My friends were there as they usually would be. It felt strange though, I knew it was some other world, and that they weren't real, so instead of using money to get stuff out of the vending machine I grabbed a guitar that was conveniently next to me and I went to smash the window of the vending machine, but a teacher stopped me and said "what do you think you are doing". So I said back to him, "err, this is just a fake universe, so I assumed it would be ok", and he just looked at me weirdly and said plainly "eh, no" and walked away.

I was sitting there, without anything form the vending machine, trying to figure out how to get out of this fake world with no freedom.


Then, "wait a minute, this is kinda like what a dream would be like... wait a minute, this is a dream... wait a minute, the devil was trying to tell me that lucidity is how to get out!!!"

So, I became lucid, I realised it was a dream. But I was still stuck in that canteen, but I just wanted to settle a little un-finished business between me and the vending machine. There was no chocolate, which is what I wanted. So before I smashed the window, I tried to make some chocolate appear in it, but it didn't work. So I just smashed the window with the guitar and grabbed a bottle of chocolate milk, and I tried to turn that into a chocolate bar, but that didn't work, so I smashed the window of the canteen and flew out, it felt like I didn't have much power in there.

Once I got out I made a big tin of chocolate appear, it didn't taste of much, that I can remember anyway. So I gave it to these kids nearby, and then they said, "awww no white chocolate", so I gave then some.

My friend followed me outside, and the devil appeared again, but I didn't see him as the devil any more, just a normal person that looked like the devil looked earlier. And as I was walking up the street talking to them, telling them how I was in a dream, I was telling them to do a reality check too, just to prove to them it was a dream. I tried to get them to do the nose pinch RC, but they were confused how to do it. So I said, "look at my hand", and my friend was like "Woa", and the other guy was like "HOLY SHIT!!!", he seemed pretty freaked out, and sort of took a step back in shock.

I was about to go and do my own thing, but it was too late...

I woke up.

Lucid Part
Yes, I most definitely lucid dreamt last night. It was so hazy though :/
Kinda funny because I could only stay lucid whilst near my bed. Like, if I went to walk off it would stop being lucid. Because if I went to walk off, I wouldn't be able to see myself in the mirror and realise that I was lucid (yay dream logic!). But this sucked because I couldn't leave to try and go to Sweden, which I seem to always try to do xD
It wasn't too exciting, I just did floating around things and backflips and stuff.

I kept on slipping in and out of sleep paralysis (being awake). It was really hard to control.
[...]
I took IE's advice and tried to feel how real breathing and stuff felt. It felt like the real thing.

Non-lucid Part
I was buying cake donuts (wtf are "cake donuts"? xD) in Skellefteå lol on my way to see TW (!). There were lots of Australians at that shop and they were quite annoying :/ That cake looked so delicious though.
Music by Karnivool (a damn awesome Perth band) was playing in the background of the shop.
I was paying in Australian money, too. Wtf. I wanted four cakes and that would bring my total to $20.25. I gave the chick (who was also Australian) a $50 note (I gave this to her at the start, she wanted it first, and THEN i would buy the cakes) so then i gave her 10c so that she wouldn't have to get heaps of change. But for some reason she only gave me $10 change, as if $20 + $10 = $50.

Oh yeah, there was this weird cat trick thing. And it looked after your household if some criminal was going to rob it. It could detect loud music. The cat had to jump onto the windowsill but do a twist on the way (like gymnastics). Then it would grab the ledge and look through the window. Its eyes started glowing and it was scary. It detected loud music or something.
The cat was really cute and very well trained. It kept trying and trying to reach the windowsill, and I caught it when it missed. Eventually it grabbed it. Good cat :3 This part of the dream I associate with giants and other worldy houses for some reason. I also associate it with some map that helped detect the criminals.

6/6/10 - Crowbars
Dream Non-dream Lucid

I was outside of a large white house. I was in the backyard, and the house's sliding glass back door was open. Somehow I was lucid. I was just about to go off and explore when five or six guys with crowbars appeared. I figured fighting them would ruin my lucidity, so I tried to dream spin my way out of the situation. Nothing happened.

The crowbar dudes closed in on me. There was no escaping now; I grabbed a crowbar of my own out of thin air and lunged at the nearest guy.

After beating most of the men to a pulp, I was done; someone seemed to have punched me in the stomach, which would explain how I ended up hunched over on the ground, panting.

Three men left, one pretty hot(as in sexy, not sweaty), and they looked murderous. Somehow I talked my way out of it, saying that I didn't care if they robbed the big white house (it wasn't mine), and that I really needed to be somewhere so just leave me alone and go rob the house.

Sadly, I woke up.

1. This one was long and detailed, covering several days of dream-time, with some on-the-ground action, some movie-screen views of other characters, and even some back-story. It all took place in the little town in PA where I grew up. It started with the story of Altrip Jones, a man from my town who went out and made a fortune in the city, then came back and built this weird monument of a public building, with huge, white marble gargoyles jutting from the corners. It was some kind of culture/community center. So I saw this as if in a documentary, then I was back in my hometown, but a weirdly prosperous version where this guy had infused all this money into it.

2. I'm attending a funeral in my hometown, and it's a big family gathering, but it's a dream family, not my real family, and pretty much a dream-town, too. Mostly I'm interacting with two little brothers who have never met me before, because I've been away that long, and I"m working to protect my little uncle (real person) from professional assassins, including a 40-something Gene Hackman. These guys really like to rapel down buildings. I'm not resisting them violently, just tracking their movements and evading them.

3. At some point, I'm taking a walk with some dude I don't know, and he lights up a j. We turn a corner and here we are at a big, sandy beach (nothing like this in my real town). We pass it around and a few people join us, then security comes sniffing around, so I have to evade them and end up alone way down the beach. I start running back toward the crowd (now leaving--it's night-time, and they're closing down the beach), then realize it would be much faster to glide over the sand, then think "Well, why don't I just fly?" So I'm flying down the beach, and I stop and think, "Wait a sec, am I dreaming?" The dunes and everything look pretty real, but I do an RC (my first ever deliberate RC--thanks DV), which for me is kind of a karma-probe to see if objects around me have history and depth--dream objects are more transparent, have less presence than waking objects, even if visually identical. So anyway, I'm lucid, but everything stays pretty solid. I walk around and come to a pliant barrier where the beach just stops, but recalling some stuff from the forums, I try to dissolve or push through, and manage to get my hands through, like pushing through saran wrap. I didn't get to do much else before I woke up. Still, that's two LDs in a 10 days, after many months without any. Whoop!

Nightmare (1st vivid dream after I joined this forum)

This was last week, and I didn't dwell on it, so my recall is so-so. My nephew (he's 3) was kidnapped, and I was communicating with the kidnapper through this guy at a pharmacy-window. Dude let me know that my nephew was being held with a bunch of other kids by a pedophile ring with one guy in charge. Somehow, I managed to find the guy, and turned him over to the cops. I was feeling all frantic, like "How bad was this for my nephew, how are we all going to deal with this?" Then I was with my sister, and when I ask how my nephew is, she very calmly tells me that on the way back from the pedophile place he crawled out the car-window, and she tried to hold onto him, but he flew off and died. My sister was really calm, but I totally broke down, reviewing the situation and thinking maybe I should have killed the pedophile-guy when I had him, but that wouldn't have helped anything, and OMG my nephew's dead, his life got so bad that he killed himself at age 3...etc.

I woke up just numb, and it took a minute to realize that this world where my nephew was dead was not the world I was now in, and I wasn't even relieved, just numb. This is how nightmares are for me on those rare occasions I have them: here, have some intense emotional trauma, no wait, ha ha, it was just a dream.
