NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Intended to do a short WBTB this morning when my girlfriend went to work, and I did. I also intended to WILD but I failed horribly as I fell asleep a few minutes after starting to try. Did wake up a minute or so after and had some fuzzy feeling in my body, but lost consciousness right away. Oh well, a try is a try! Had two lucids aswell, which was kinda nice, but they were a bit short.

02.00: Sleep

08.00: WBTB 10 minutes

09.00: Flying MILD
I'm standing at an excavation site in a big valley. There's a big drop next to me and I can see mountains over the drop. My brothers Morgan and Martin are there. Martin is driving an excavator and he's trying to park it. I jump up on one tire to talk to him when he finally stops. We talk trash for a while. I jump down and head up the small hill.

I get lucid just like that. "Hey Martin, let's fly!" I shout. "Yeah, let me just park this thing" he replies and tries to park the big machine. It's very unstable for some reason but he manages to do it and gets out. I check my hand and count eight fingers. We head up the hill, the wind is really picking up. I rub my hands to stabilize. Not only is it blowing alot, it's foggy. I can barely make out the mountain over the drop.

With a small jump I'm airborn and Martin is right next to me. Using the wind I fly high up, the feeling is awesome. I've got my goal set in mind, to fly at supersonic speed. I head over the mountain and pick up speed, trying to imagine a force pushing off of my feet. I can feel a slight push and I pick up speed, but it's nowhere near supersonic. I figure it's because I'm flying upwards. I rub my hands to stay in the dream as I usually wake up when I fly, but the dream starts to de-stabilize anyways. I'm fly over a small forest when I lose it.

10.30: Dreams MILD
*I'm lucid right away, walking down a small road going through a forest. Three women are up ahead, in their thirties or something. I pass the first two before grabbing the third and giving her a big kiss. She's barely average looking but I don't care, this is fun! She starts to breathe heavily instantly. Like my lips are made out of pure ecstacy.

The dream skips. I watch the woman I just kissed stand infront of a mirror. She's got the beginning of a beard all over her chin, a bit too much hair for my taste.

*I'm in a nearby town, my coworker Krull is there. I'm holding a grapefruit and I offer it to him. "Have you ever tasted one of these before?" I ask him. He tells me he hasn't. A guy with the same kind of beard appears. "Oh look, he's got the same kind of beard you do, only alot nicer" I say and point. The guy's got a very cool shape to it, and it's slightly red. Krull seems to be offended and says nothing.

*I'm watching my old dreams I wrote down a year ago. Only they're not written down in words, but rather built in the game "Terraria". I wonder how the hell I should read all those blocks and items placed everywhere. I mine a few away.

*I'm in my appartment and it's blowing alot outside. I can hear stuff tumbling around out on the balcony and I decide to take a look. It's snowing aswell and I walk out in it barefoot. I spot a few brown boxes flying around and I grab them and put them safely. My neighbours under me are talking and I check what's going on. Some boxes have flown down to her and I apologise. A broom appears and picks up some and hands them to me. I never see my neighbour but I hear her giggle.

I put all the boxes back, they're green from mold. I take a bike and put it on top but it won't stay upright. I struggle with it for a minute or so before getting it right. I head back in and Monica's watching TV. It's a viking show, made by famous Swedish comedians. I wonder why they haven't done that before. The girl does the "whale" in the water and the guy laughs retardedly.

10.30: Wake up

That's it! Too bad I failed the WILD, will have to try again tomorrow.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

It started at home, I for some reason had a problem with my phone, which I was trying to fix, then blamed a friend called Eric. I chased him all over the place, and got other people to chase him with me, I shouted his name. We were running up some stairs and he somehow got a gun and started shooting at me. I chased him into a class room, and the teachers tried to distract me, eventually they told me where he was, but I didn't believe them. They made me do work for a subject that I don't even do.q

I was at school, sitting on a bench. I think I must've been waiting for an exam or something. These two girls, one of which is a regular dream character started acting liek they were trying to get my attention. I ignored them. I heard someone behind me say "oh my god, Harley!" I looked at him, then a teacher got angry at him and told him to go away.

First:
We were in this party in building that in top a hill, soon the party was assaulted by police and the people scattered around the surrounding hills.
Later on i was suggested that we should build our party place underground and keep in somewhat hidden so law would not find it so easily.

Second:
this one was hostage scene where hostages tried to negotiate with the criminals, with somewhat success it seemed.
Still i took shotgun from the one of them and headed upstairs to end the hostage situation, i took the criminal´s leader by surprise and forced him to ground.
Situation took unexpected turn when i was told that criminals were leaving anyways and i just inflamed the situation...

Third:
I was captured to this spaceship, where i was updated that there was really no danger and i was captured just to show me around the universe.
Little conversation ensued, funny part of it all was it was zero-g in that ship and we floated around the interior of the ship.
Soon we arrived in atmosphere of this planet and the gravity could felt.
We started falling down to the ground, but just before we hit the ground the grew started up ships gravity actuators and the ship stopped about meter over the the ground.
We strolled around the landing spot and after a while we were ambushed by this "galactic police" spaceship which warned us briefly and then shot the planet destroying it very quickly but we did by barely reach and leave with our ship with few exceptions on grew.
After that odd scene ensued where our ship looked like it was made of some kind of black ooze and there was this nightmarish feeling about when dream ended

i dont remember alot of that dream.. i remember almost the end..

it was so that i have 10 euro and i sohuld buy for my uncle ciggarets.

i went to a shop and bought some LM.
i tho first i bought em with 3 euro's but they where 5 .95 euro.
so i went then to another market shop and i was searching smthing to buy , drinks etc, didnt found but what i found is there was a litle baby .... on the floor and i danced with her and make laugh .
then i saw somehow comment like it was profil ^^..
it said something like when u ll be 19 ull be hot and so..
i said when u grow up call me or go tmy friend and he will tell u abt me .. smthing like that.. then i went outside and went for walk.. my self and i looked my ciggarets it said 5.95 .. i had rest like more 2-3 euros and didnt know what to do and i think i woke up after abit.

Tonight I dreamt that I was driving on my bus. Everything looked quite normal until I saw a brutally severed body on the road. The bus stopped, and I stood off of it. Then I was in my kitchen. I put a rectangle-formed rock into the oven and took it out seconds later as a cake. Then I ate it. It was delicious. I wanted to post on Facebook about my discovery but never got around to.

I was outside the gymnasium, and looking at a pretty girl. She was standing outside a bus, and about to get onboard. She suddenly came over to me, and asked me if I would like to come along to Italy, as her date, as she had recently broken up with her boyfriend. I knew I had no plans, so I just said yes and got into the bus. Now, right after we get into the bus and are on our way she starts talking to the guy in front of me, and I realise that that is her ex. After a little while she switches seats, and sits with him instead, not even saying a single word to me! Now, I realise that I've been dumbed, and I look out the window, we're suddenly in Germany! Now I realise where I am, and I remember that I never told my parents I left the country, and I begin to fear how I'm going to get home, and what I'm going to do. I look out the window again, and see that the idiot teacher driving is driving in the wrong lane, and cars are avoiding our bus by inches..

However, that doesn't worry me much, I'm looking at the girl, who is now smooching with her ex... Very disappointing, I imagine they explode. They do! I explode all of the other passengers as well, and while I do this, I do a little dance up and down the floor, while I make people inside the bus explode, or combust. I stop at the bus drivers pult, and know that I am dreaming. I take hold of the wheel, but I feel the wheel and know, that by feeling it, it must be real! I look around, and I am actually sitting at my spot, and eveyone else is alive. I sit down on my seat, and grumbles over the lack of combusted people...

Very long dream, but only a fragment.
Someone had their drink spiked, with some kind of drug that induced sleep paralysis. The SP then made them hallucinate that their hands and feet were swapped, and that their flesh was melting off When we figured it out, we got them to wake up, I think.

Last night, my recall wasn't so great, because I'd been out to a party and been drinking. It did seem to influence the setting of my dream though, and I experienced tiredness within a dream for the first time. I didn't wake up after my first sleep cycle which is unusual for me, but I'm going to put that down to the alcohol.

I was at some kind of a massive sleepover at someone's house. They lived in an enormous mansion, and there was at least 20 people staying the night. This dream went for a really, really long time, though I don't remember much of it. I was sitting in a small, dark room which had loads of TV screens and gaming consoles mounted on the walls. A lot of people were in here playing games and talking, we were all sitting on stools. I remember being really tired; my eyes were sore and I was getting annoyed at Toby. Everyone got up, and started to go to bed. Michelle told me
"You need to catch some Z's"
Toby had just driven some car, and was talking about how he had changed his mind about how he didn't want to drive an old 'shitbox'.
When everyone started to leave to go to bed, I started to get quite nervous, thinking that as people went to sleep I'd be stuck not being able to get to sleep with people snoring, but I thought about how I could lie down and use WILD and meditation to get myself ready for sleep.

As I thought about that in the dream, my consciousness transitioned into my waking body. It took me a few seconds to realise that I was in bed, and asleep and not dreaming, but I immediately noticed that I was in SP. It was quite deep, and it felt wonderful as I stayed calm, let my breathing stay slow, and tried to just look into the darkness of my eyelids to transition into a DEILD. It eventually faded, and I rolled over and wrote down this dream.

This one surprised me a lot, I really wasn't expecting my ex, Chelsea to keep showing up in my dreams. It's probably been 3-4 weeks since I've had a dream about her, and 2 years since we broke up

It was raining, though everything wasn't as grey and washed out as it normally is when it rains in my dreams. I was outside, on the fields at school (actually the field from my primary school). Apparently, I'd put some kind of post on facebook the night before, and the popular group tore into me for it, but I didn't understand what they were saying. I was walking along, about to go to class and trying to get out of the rain, when Chelsea approached me.
"Hey, Alex?" I was shocked.
"Are you alright?" I was confused, because a) she was talking to me, and b) she was genuinely wondering if I was okay. I looked at her, and memories I'd forgotten for a long time came back in one giant wave. She seemed just like the person she used to be.
"Yeah, I'm fine, why?"
"I saw all that stuff they said on facebook last night"
"Oh, yeah, my facebook messed up and I never got any of that"
I was so confused, I wanted to ask her why she was talking to me, if we were friends again, but I didn't, and I just walked away. I left the field along the small path that led to all the classrooms. A lot of my friends were on the field, looking at me strangely, I didn't want to talk to anyone and walked faster, holding my folder above my head as though I just wanted to get out of the rain. Why is she still appearing in my dreams? Perhaps she has something to do with the brick wall.

I continued to the woodwork rooms, where we were making wind turbines. Flynn and Paul were making a really accurate version for the school to present, but I wasn't that worried about the assignment and knew I didnt have to do it to that level of detail. I briefly questioned why we were making wind turbines - when we did that last year, but quickly dismissed the thought. Mr D and Mr P brought us over to talk about the new wood they had just got in which was supposed to be some sort of excellent wood, but it was actually just chipboard and plywood, which confused me briefly.

I panicked, as I realised I had forgotten my folder, and I must have put it down on the field in the rain when I stopped to talk to chelsea. I went outside to search for it, and I ended up in some kind of stall sale for the school, though it was located on what I think was a street in the inner city. It was raining heavier now, and I stopped to talk to a teacher explaining that I'd lost my folder and was going to find it, when I noticed it on the ground. I picked it up and walked inside.

This dream was really long, and very vivid. It seemed a lot more chronological than most dreams I have. My dreams are getting better, and I'm noticing things that are odd a lot more, but I've still been dismissing them. I'll start to pick up on them soon for sure.

This was another one of the 'game within a dream' kind of dreams, where my perspective shifts from me playing the game and talking to people around me, to being the character inside the game. Always fun to wake up from these ones.

It was the future, everywhere I looked there were tall, grey buildings surrounding me. It reminded me a lot of Deus Ex in regards to the setting, but the plot I believe was something of an RPG. I played through the game once, knowing the plot. I talked to dad multiple times during this, we were in a large cafe or restaurant, which now that I think about it is actually quite similar to a restaurant I've seen in many of my dreams before, though never visited. It was sunny, and I was playing on a laptop on a small, round table. I've had quite a few dreams here, though never noticed until now.

I decided to play through again, and I remember being in the perspective of the character. I was trying to go as fast as I could, trying to play through as fast as I could. I was sprinting at incredible speeds, bouncing off of walls and jumping through doors. One scene I remember vividly is a ledge, next to a large hole that has been blown into a wall. Inside there is a short man who looked a bit like a gnome. The room inside was lit by a large drum-fire. I sprinted and jumped up and right through the hole in the wall.

It was a relatively hot day, and so everyone decided to wear breathable tight fitting clothing. I chose to wear my brand new thermal pajamas, and felt as though people were looking at me kind of funny because of it. When I got to roll call (in my old roll call classroom) Armstrong had shown up wearing his red morphsuit. Mr D, Tim, Armstrong and I had a discussion about how morphsuits were more suited than thermal pajamas. More people started showing up, all wearing morphsuits. We then proceeded to a lesson in the classroom. It was about maths, and decision making. We learnt a formula which was quite difficult, and then a second formula with everyone said was much harder. It was explained with a 2x2 checker board with chess pieces on it, with arrows pointing all different directions.

The mood is gloomy and gray. I was with mom and some people, and we're going to Manila. I'm not sure from where, but we're already on a bus/jeep, and we're surrounded by buildings and skyscrapers at some point.

Then we need to stay in some place to spend the night. We stayed in a boarding house of sorts in a small community. Then we were trying to escape some people. We're going around in the place. Mom was not with us; she stayed behind in another place.

A few months ago I had to design an "innovative" game as some sort of homework.
Even though I had a good idea, I couldn't figure out one of the key elements in the game.
I thought about it a lot and randomly ended up having a lucid dream where I actually was in the game I designed.

To my surprise, the problematic element in questions was already fixed in a rather brilliant way, which I thought was absolutely awesome.
Since then I've been meaning to test if I can actively use lucid dreaming to sort of overcome similar hurdles, where I'm lacking the creativity to solve a certain problem.


I wake up.
I try not to move and close my eyes, trying to remember any dreams.
Oddly enough, my mind is blank, I feel like something is preventing me from thinking clearly.
I find this rather weird and decide to get up.
Grabbing my dream notebook I notice that the currently open page is not empty.
Did I write something down during the night? I can't remember doing so.

I have a hard time deciphering the text in my notebook, which Isn't very unusual since I often take notes with the lights off if I wake up during the middle of the night.
Suddenly the text seems clear. It says:

"Fireflies in the Sky. Wake up!"

It's written in very beautiful old fashioned style.
I can't have written this! My handwriting is horrible!
What does this even mean?

Then I get it... I'm dreaming!
Fireflies? Huh? Oh well, the wake up note was useful.

I rub my hands.
For once I try to remember if I set myself any goals for lucid dreams, which is something I always forget to do.
I try to think of the current task of the month, but then I remember it's already June and I haven't checked what the current Totm is.
Then I remember the dream where I solved my game design issue and that I wanted to try if I can do something like that voluntarily.

I decide that I want to create a game right now, but I want my subconscious to design it for me.
An exploration adventure type of game in a mysterious world, that's what I want to create!
Something sort of like a modern Myst game.

I summon my Phoenix wings and try to teleport, thinking of these key aspects, but it doesn't work.
I strongly feel like this type of teleportation only works if I have a specific location in mind.
Maybe I should try another form of teleportation.
I think about opening the door in my room, hoping for the finished game to be behind it, but decide against it.
I know what lies behind this door too well, I doubt it would work like that.

I should use a portal!
Using my right index and middle finger I draw a big circle on one of the walls in my room.
Even though the borders of it clearly form and start glowing, the inside is still solid.
This is not working quite right.
Then I remember that KristaNicole uses portals in a different way.
She writes the name of the destination or the person she wants to meet on the portal before opening it.
I decide to try that.

I make the tip of my index and middle finger glow and use them to write onto the portal:

"Explore"
"Adventure"
"Mystery"

I rest my palm on the wall and try to push against it with some energy.
The text I've written glows and the wall within the boundary of the portal disappears.
I'm now standing in front of a portal with a bright blue/white glowing border with very dark purple void inbetween.
Sweet! I step through the portal.



I fall out upside down on the other side, in my usual fashion.
I'm really not very good at portals...
Noticing that I am now outdoors, I look around trying to figure out where I am:


What the heck, I know this place!
Of course! This is once of the worlds in Myst IV!
I'm amazed at first that what I tried sort of worked, but a bit disappointed that I didn't end up in a new game.

Another portal opens and Yuya jumps out.
I am actually very surprised by that. I usually go to her, not the other way around.
Plus, am I not in my own dream bubble? can she enter my dreams like that?
Then I remember that she's actually done it before.

"Silly Hyu."
"You gave me permission to enter your dreams a long time ago."

She's probably right. Why would I not? I love having her around.

"It's amazing what the human mind can do, isn't it?"
"Yes, it absolutely is, though this isn't exactly what I've tried to accomplish."
"Are you so sure about that?"
"Well... this is a world from Myst."

"Are you suggesting that your subconscious accessed the game data to generate this world?"
"Well, no. That would be silly."
"Yes. In other words this isn't a perfect copy of the Myst world."
"How long has it been since you've played that game?"
"Quite a few years actually."
"Yes. Do you really think this world is in any way identical to the world in Myst?"
"Well. No. Probably not. But it feels the same way."
"Exactly. But you still created this world. Your subconscious decided where the mountains go, which way the rivers flow..."

Suddenly I'm not really disappointed anymore. She's absolutely right, I created this, it totally worked.
I point my hand at a spot on the ground and try to grow a tree with my mind.
A small plant pops out of the ground and slowly grows into a fully grown tree.

"Holy shit! This is awesome!"

Yuya smiles.

"Directly shaping things is quite amazing, yes, but what is much more amazing is what your subconscious can generate using just 3 words."
"The conscious mind is quite limited. Sure, you can create any object and design any aspect of it."
"But your subconscious can create infinite worlds on the fly, with millions of objects, every single one designed down to the last detail."

"If I wanted to, could I change this world into another one?"
"Sure, if you let your subconscious do it for you."
"How do I do that?"

"You either request something very specific, a place you know or have seen somewhere,"
"or you request a world that gives you a certain feeling, which is sort of what you did to create this world."
"Yes, but how do I actually change it? Do I create another portal?"
"You can use a portal, but you don't need to, you can simply use your willpower."

Holy shit! Would that really work? That would be so awesome!

"Okay, I'll try!"

I point both of my hands at the sky, and think of the Tron movie.
I want to create a world similar to the grid!

"No. Don't try. Do or do not!"

I know that she's absolutely right, but it's easier said than done.
But I do know that when she says it's possible, it really is.
She has no reason to lie to me, I fully trust her.

I close my eyes, releasing tiny bits of energy through my hands into the sky.
I think of the atmosphere of the new Tron movie, of the lightcycles, of the Grid.
As I open my eyes again, I hear Daft Punk playing in the background, but the volume is very low.

Holy shit! I am on the Grid!
There's blue neon stripes everywhere, I can see skyscrapers in the background, some type of rocks floating in the sky.
It's just like in the movie. It's in the same style, it has the same atmosphere to it, but it's not a location that was in the movie.
I turn to Yuya in excitement.

"Did you see that??? I did that!"

She starts laughing.

"Yes Hyu, I know."

A lightcycle appears and stops right in front of us.
A women gets off, and as she takes her helmet off I immediately recognize her: It's Olivia Wilde / Quorra.


She starts approaching me and Yuya says jokingly:

"I think your subconscious likes Olivia Wilde."

No kidding Yuya, guess who my conscious mind likes as well...
This could turn into a rather awkward situation.
Olivia stops in front of us and says smiling:

"Yes, I think your subconscious really does."

I smile, and try to act unsurprised and not too excited that she is here...
But looking into her beautiful and bright eyes I have to think about how attractive she is and fail miserably at acting unsurprised.

Reading my thoughts, Yuya starts laughing out loud.
She finds it absolutely hilarious that such situations make me uncomfortable, and I find it quite silly that I do.

Olivia asks me:

"Do you want to go for a ride?"

Suddenly I get extremely excited.
Yuya says "Ha. Try to catch up!", creates her own lightcycle and drives off.
I follow Olivia to her lightcycle, getting more and more excited.
I sit behind her, and hold onto her for support.
She smells nice...

As we drive off, my vision blacks out. Fuck! I got too excited!
I desperately try to stabilize the dream. I want to ride a lightcycle with Olivia!!
But it fails, and I wake up.

A not-so-vivid dream involving me on the computer. I only remember a very small portion of it - what was on the screen. I don't even remember where I was, or what kind of computer I was using. Maybe I could only see the screen in the dream and nothing else?

The computer screen was set to Dreamviews. I was on a thread page, and while I cannot remember the title, I had one of my own posts in the center of the screen. It looked relatively normal; the user titles and info was on the left, and the post content was on the right. My signature was missing, though, and I don't even know what was written in the comment section of my post. I had my attention on my username to the left of the post. The staff had surprised me by making me a Moderator on Dreamviews, and I was looking at my username, seeing if the processing of the change from Dream Guide to Moderator was complete. Apparently it wasn't an instantaneous change.

If someone is a Dream Guide, their username is green. If they are a Moderator, their username is blue. To indicate my account was still in the middle of processing its new status as Moderator, only two letters in my username were blue. The other letters were still green. More letters were supposed to become blue as time elapsed. Essentially, it looked like this:
