non-lucid

This one's from December 01, 2014:

Have Mexican parents (I'm not Mexican IRL). I'm a kid about 10 years old or so. The dad drives a truck (like a tractor-trailer). I climb on top of it like on top of a train and ride it there, hanging on to bars up there, as the dad drives it. The mom is probably in the front seat. This truck also flies, kind of like a plane, but at a lot lower altitude. It doesn't transform or anything, just starts driving then keeps flying then lands and drives again. The truck went mostly through/above country roads instead of interstates. We run out of gas & money and stop in a town. We have relatives there but we want to pretend to be rich or something, so we go hang out with this random rich lady who's got two dogs and a kid. At first we pretend just fine and make friends, but then she finds out that we're super poor and end up doing work for her. I'm not sure what the parents did, but I did a lot of cleaning. For some reason both of her dogs and her kid piss all over the house, and I have to take care of it. The lady likes me, and I also do some more personal assistant stuff for her, and organize things.

Speaking with Jareth, I end a sentence with "god!" A general exclamation, but that's not how he takes it. He replies, entirely serious, "Don't call me that." I didn't, but good to know your arrogance has some limits.

I'm singing the title role of Don Giovanni, wearing a mask that covers my entire face, even my mouth. Reminds me of the McKittrick. While on stage, I switch places with someone else, identically dressed.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm swimming in a pool with a woman who's offered to grant me a wish. To do so, she tells me I must go to Thailand and walk into the jungle in a certain place until I reach an abandoned building. Here, I must draw one of two specific symbols in the dirt. It doesn't matter which one I choose, what matters is the reasoning behind my choice. Whichever I choose, she'll draw the other. She'll stand at my back, using those two symbols in some way, during which time I must not turn to look at her or communicate with her in any way. Success depends on her understanding why I made the choice I did.

A young man runs out of a house, pursued by several women wearing black and red. Shortly afterward, inside that building, I come across three young men, and I ask, "Which one of you sprinted out of here looking like Orpheus with the Bacchae on his heels?"

I'm looking over some photos of the new cast at the McKittrick. (Side note - last time I dreamed of Orpheus, he was in the McKittrick-as-underworld.) A new storyline has been added in. The photo I'm looking at now shows the woman at the center of that new storyline, sitting on a stool at a diner counter - sad expression, short wavy blonde wig, purple dress, purple purse on the counter. The character's female but always played by a male actor. In the background behind her, there's a man in a suit slouched in one of the booths, watching her. He's a sort of sycophant character, sleazy, untrustworthy, but entirely loyal to her in his own way.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

Edwardian England, there's a heavyset, motherly woman gently pushing a sick young woman back down into her bed, over the young woman's protests - she's feeling much better but she's having a hard time thinking straight enough to make herself understood. At this point she's just saying, "No, no." The light from the window is hurting her head, it's much too bright. I'm sympathetic about that, but mostly I'm relieved to be able to see her like this at all, relieved that she's all right and that the connection that lets us see what the other's doing is now working. I haven't seen her in some time.

I see images representing all the other people I have those connections with, with an image representing this woman now added to the end of the line. There are maybe two dozen images here, older connections as I look back farther. The most recent image, aside from that Edwardian scene, represents someone I just saw recently in person, pleasant feelings. As I look farther back, there's one image that instantly brings up feelings of irritation - we don't keep in touch, we've never been able to understand each other, and just this brief visual reminder of her brings up that old frustration. There's a few places where an image should be there but isn't - the woman whose death I dreamed of recently, the roses that turned to ash. And at the other end of the line, the very first two: the first, a woman with a long red braid, a sword in her hand, standing in a snow-covered forest. The second, a more symbolic image - a variety of colorful butterflies hanging in the air against a dark background, two trees just barely visible in the darkness. And a little bit apart from the last of those images, a simple black image to represent me.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm lying on my back in a field hospital in 20th century China. There's a young woman treating me, wearing a uniform, with her hair tied up in two braids. I've been enjoying speaking with her. I haven't been enjoying whatever's in that IV. I'm thinking about the woman mentioned in that previous scene, with the roses turning to ash.

Still in China, I'm in a small boat that a middle-aged man is steering by pole. I've hired him to take me and an old woman back to her hometown, though it's been flooded and abandoned for a very long time. The old woman doesn't live in the present anymore. Her hometown is the place where I last saw that woman with the roses, though that was a long time ago and I don't know if I'll be able to find anything useful there. I haven't been back to this part of the world since before this area was flooded. I focus on the ruins of a building I recognize, as the boat passes underneath.

Dream 1

I don't recall what it was about. All i remember is there was a guy with white bandage all around him like a mummy. But he didn't seem dead or dirty.

Dream 2

I think there was something but my mom woke me up and I didn't pay attention to it. I just tried to go back to sleep.

Dream 3

After two fails I managed to get a dream I could remember.
I began to slowly appear on my bed into the dream world. When I felt like I was 100% in the dream I decided to summon Dawn.I focused on Dawn and slowly he began to appear in the dream. He wasn't in his anime form but I was happy and decided to try focusing on my senses to make the dream more vivid.

After I was done focusing i noticed everything was starting to feel and look a lot more real. I told him that we could leave the room now and he said okay. When we got into the living room Dawn went straight into the kitchen and said he wanted a drink of water. He took the water out the fridge, took a cup and took ice out of the fridge and put it into the cup.

Looking at Dawn I asked him why he wasn't in his anime form. As he was pouring water into the cup or washing it i started to imagine Dawn in his anime form. But only his long white hair appeared. I felt his hair and told him it was better this way cause it was nice and long. He said he knew i liked it or something like that.

After I saw him drinking some water I said I wanted water too and asked him if I could drink his water than took it. I started drinking it and he asked me why didn't I just get my own cup. I said I could have but I didn't see the other cup and that drinking from his cup was better. I than looked at the water and ice in the cup and noticed a red dot moving in it. I changed my mind about drinking it and gave it back to him.

We than left the house into a place that seemed like a classroom or school. I was holding onto Dawns back and noticed there was a shorter boy that was his buddy walking with him. When ever this DC that claims to know Dawn appears in my dream sometimes he looks kind of crippled but hes kind, understanding and friendly. He was able to move more now though.

I got curious and felt like asking Dawn if past lives was a real thing what would his name be. He ignored my question though and kept walking and talking to his friend. I asked him again than asked him if we have been together in the past a lot. He said "yeah, lots of times" than went through a small hole into a really small room that had words on the walls. I pointed out the words on the wall and his friend said the words on the wall were very motivational.

Than Dawn opened the door and jumped into a medium size school/Principal office room with me on his back. There was a little bear running around the room and Dawn and his buddy was running around, laughing trying to keep the bear cub from catching them. Dawn was like " Dang! This little guy kind of scared me when he jumped out!" but in a playful way. Than his friend was like " Yeah, he surprised me too!" As they were running around like crazy I kept telling Dawn to stop running around, but than Dawn made a big jump and I fell off him. The weird thing about this is that when he jumped I was upside down trying to hold onto him before I fell off.

I was mad at Dawn and noticed I was in a empty classroom now. I started calling for Dawn again and he came back. I shouted at him that I was mad at him for ignoring me and I didn't want to talk to him anymore. He said " Fine! I don't care! Do whatever you want to do!" so I ran out of the classroom and tried to go to a different scenery.I didn't feel like going anywhere anymore though and just lay on the ground on my stomach feeling like I didn't really care about the dream anymore. Dawn's friend than walked into my view and sat on the ground. He looked more crippled this time and smiled as if he was saying it was going to be okay. I took his hand and held it in my own and felt better. Than I woke up.

Dream 4

I was going to the store for my family.Somehow i realized it was a dream though. I wanted to read some dream books and found a couple of books on the floor. The place started to change into a library too. But as i was trying to read i saw so many words and thought about how i didn't feel like reading nonsense so i closed the book. After thinking of what to do next for a bit i woke up.

NON LUCID
*I am driving around thinking what shall I eat? I see a whataburger and pull over. The inside is very strange unlike a whataburger in the waking state. Then my friends start to walk in unexpectedly. They all have been smoking cannabis so everyone is happy lol. My friend gives me some good telling me to just pay him back later.

Something to do with a new music building being added to my high school. It has all of this wood paneling and all of this bamboo growing out around the sides.


There was some crazy war going on where two armies were fighting over a supply of peanut butter.

The battlefield is this huge open meadow, surrounded by thick woods. There are a couple of mountains in the distance. The area sort of has a minecraft feel to it, though nothing appears to be made of blocks. I also recall seeing a cartoon drawing that was a map of the battlefield and contained the tactics used by the armies with drawings of cartoon soldiers killing one another. The map was drawn on very high quality parchment paper.

The battle began. One army was clad mostly in steel armor and used swords. All of the men in this army looked really short, and they all looked the same. They appeared to be the more formal army. [Dream Logic]They also had trebuchets that were launching large jars of peanut butter at the enemies that would explode on impact. The peanut butter was sticky and supposedly would slow down the advance of the enemy. [/Dream Logic]

The other army was a small band of tribal men with long dark hair who rode on horseback. They had a very native-american feel to them. They fought with spears and bows mostly. Although they seemed inferior in numbers their tactics and skill in combat was impressive.

Somehow I got into the fight. A group of the steel clad men came after me. I became partially lucid. I started fighting with them; running at them and disarming one. I took his sword and used it to cut down a couple of others. One ran at me from behind, yet somehow I could sense him coming. (Partial lucidity?) I threw him over my left side, both stabbing him and taking his sword. Dual wield. I turned to see what looked like a lieutenant of the steel army readying a bow. (His armor was fancier, I assumed he was important.) I threw one of the swords and it stuck right in his face impaling him.

I then see a couple of the tribe men charging at me on horseback. I throw the other sword, that for some reason becomes a spear when I throw it. It strikes the leader in the leg and also injures his horse who falls over and the whole group trips over him and falls down on him in an almost comedic fashion. A couple of guys manage to get out of the confused pile of horses and charge me. I pick up another sword and get ready to fight when the dream changes.

...

Somehow or other I found myself in my living room. Manei was there, laying on the couch. And for some reason or other I didn't quite grasp that I was dreaming. I thought for some reason that I was awake and imagining that she was there. Something was amiss.

For some reason I still had a spear on me from the previous dream. I was examining it a little, and spinning it around like a bo staff. (Not sure how, though, the living room in our house is tiny.)

She told me that she was upset because she had gotten in trouble with her guide, and that she overall wasn't feeling well. I did my best to be understanding, but I don't think I've ever seen her not all happy and bubbly like she usually is until now. Not having the best grasp of dream/reality didn't help either. I didn't really know what to do, so I dropped the spear and sat down on the other couch across from her, and the dream faded out.

I wonder if I could find Manei's guide and talk to him/her. That's either a really good or really bad idea. The bottom line is: I'm getting somewhere, albeit slowly.

I was in the city at night, indoors. It was a building. I was working on the computer or something. I was with two unknown guys. We went out, but there were slippery steps. Something about basketball. We went back.

---

I was walking with my dad and brothers into a sort of huge playground on a river bordering a vast desert. There was an island in the river (it widened at this spot) that was tropical looking. My brothers and I went to a very large swing-set, and they both started swinging. Dad was going to snowboard down a sand dune, so I went back to the giant swing set, only to find that the only two available swings were just about to be taken by other people. I sighed, and went to find something else to do. I approached the island, and inspected it.

I had thought originally that it was just a bunch of tall trees, but as I got closer, I realized it was all one massive tree, and that there were some sort of structures in he branches. It looked like a huge, awesome jungle gym.

So naturally, I went to find a way onto the island. Before long, I found a large root from the tree that extended to just within jumping distance of the bank. I leapt on over, and made my way through the vines that hung down from the tree until I reached a ladder up to another branch. I looked up, and there was a whole series of rope ladders, bridges, and huts in the tree. I was so excited, and started my climb. At some point I spotted a red wallet with black dots. I picked it up, and someone nearby said it was theirs. I asked them to describe it if it was theirs, and they said it was all red. I narrowed my eyes, but when I looked back down at the wallet, it was indeed all red. (should have gotten lucid! But ah well). I habded them the wallet and continued upwards.

The further up I got, the more different plots I would encounter. It was like every hut was a story in itself. At some point there was a story about a king and queen who were going to leave to save the realm. They asked me if I would join them, but I woke up.

I use an app called Awoken to collect all my dreams.
I write my first dream in my dream journal on 22 of july of the present year. I keep practicing MILD technique for two weeks since that day, but I have to stop practicing it because I was not feeling too good in university.

Two days ago I decide that I have to continue trying to gain my lucidity, so now im practicing DILD, that is pretty much the same as MILD.
This is what i dream two nights ago:

I remember two dreams in that night, but I dont really rember the second one.
First one
I was in my house, then I went outside my house and I saw a really weird looking guy, I didn't know him, but I was able to feel that his intentions were not good. He was just there, in front of the principal door of the house with a creepy smile, I ask him to leave, so he just go a few steps away, but that was ok with me so I close the door, then I proced to check in a tiny hole if he was still there, and he was, but he was getting closer to my house door again.

Then someone was knocking the door, and I knew it was the creepy guy, but I have to answer to the call (I dont know why), so I open the door and there was no one in the street... I was really surprised because I think the guy I saw before was going to appear, but the when I step out of the house to look if someone was outside, the creepy guy came out of no were so my only reaction was to punch him in the face 3 times.

I'd punch many people in my dreams, but this was the first time in a dream I feel strength in the hits I gave, because whenever I punch someone in a dream, I feel powerless, like my arm and fist has no power.

Oh Lucy! Why, Why, Why?!

I have been questioning my surroundings with reality checks, looking at my hands, and counting my fingers over the last six or seven days. Would someone please tell me why did I freak out in my dream when I saw my fingers ???!!! In my dream, I just remember talking to someone and I looked down at my hands. You may ask, "What did she see?" CLAWS! Yes...claws folks. My fingers were red, fat, swollen, disfigured, pointy, creepy claws! In my dream I started freaking out so bad I started running to a fire station. Guess what Lucy, the creepy claws were not finished scaring the hell out of me yet. When I looked down at my hand again (yes, I looked at my hands twice and still didn't get lucid), my pinky finger had what looked like a big blister or boil 'hanging' from the tip of the claw (gross). A fireman laughed as he took my pinky in his hand (yes, this is another hand that I saw which now makes three), and 'popped' the boil/blister. It seems like every time I looked down at my hands, they grew even more creepier. I stood there so freaked out that I literally scared my ass awake ...Sigh. I still love you Lucy.

Side Note:
Lucy = Lucidity

Dream 1

Someone brought me somewhere I don't remember.Anyways somehow I ended up on the ocean. I was flying and running on the water trying to do big jumps and tricks. There was a DC on the ocean doing tricks as well. We started racing each other but I lost the DC cause I just kept going.I don't remember what happened next.

Dream 2

I was walking up the stairs in a school so I could reach the library. I was following a boy. But my dad came out of no where and opened a small treasure chest like box in front of me.In it was something that looked like thin wire and dust Bunny's. Than he took out a cake slice and ate it in front of me. I said "ew" than told my dad to leave.

As I was going up the stairs though I bumped into a pillar and it was about to collapse on me. The boy pushed me out of the way and the pillar fell down. But it didn't cause much damage so we kept going up to the library. After that I don't recall what happened but not much happened I think.

The next thing I remember is being in a stadium where I and other characters were anime characters. There were dream characters that were evil and we(me and another girl DC) had to change them back to normal by singing lyrics on our flying brooms.The paper blew away from my buddy though so I had to catch it. I didn't see what was on the paper so I just sang whatever came to mind.The people were singing too and than I woke up.

Dream 3

I was trying to get money out of my card in a bank that was near a park. My family and I were going to eat out or go on a picnic together. But when I went to the machine a little girl ran in front of me. Her mother was really really fat, like gynormous and she was sitting next to the machine. I asked if she could move her daughter who kept getting in my way.

The lady was displeased though and said no, that I had to just deal with it. Than somehow she put coins into the machine. I said "fine" then moved her daughter gently with my hands to the side but the girl kept resisting and the mom looked furious. " What do you think your doing? No one touches my daughter like that!" said the lady. The next thing she did was grab me, swing me around in the air than drop me on the ground.

I was on the floor madder than ever at the gynormous Lady. So I got up and shouted at her " You shouldn't have done that!" Than grabbed her , flipped her into the air,jumped into the air and made her head face the ground than pushed her straight into the ground head first. Even though I was satisfied with my fighting move I realized this was highly impossible for me in reality. So I decided to leave the place.

When I left I appeared in a anime like city filled with realistic people and cartoon characters. There were more cops around than civilians though. What they were wearing reminded me of what the cops wear in the anime magic Kaito 1412. One of the cops said he was getting closer to find the culprit and would get them no matter what. I was trying to hide but knew he saw me. The funny thing is he ignored me though.

I wanted to run straight through the streets without getting shot so I decided to run with wind portals around me so the bullets could be reflected. It worked and I managed to get to the other side where I stumbled on other dream characters who were hiding. The scenery began to look more abandoned though and the people more realistic.Three girls and a guy came up to me and asked me if I had seen the girl in the picture that was shown to me.

I said no but I felt I had been with them before. She than showed me a picture of a baby and told me about a baby that died that couldn't make it. Than someone pointed out how cute the baby was and how red the girl in the picture's hair was. I thought it would be interesting to stick around with these characters so I decided to go wherever they were going. I followed them and noticed that I was in my house now but it was kind of dark.

The girls and the guy was doing something to a pot in the stove. I told them to stop because fire was starting to spread a little bit and seemed out of control. The guy agreed and tried to stop it. But I had a feeling that things would turn out horrible so I went downstairs into the somewhat crowded dark hall. I wanted to escape through the backyard exit. I was having trouble though.

The guy than came quickly in the form of a shadow and started to help me get out of the house. I let him carry me out to the backyard. As soon as we got out dream characters started exiting my house. I looked up and saw that the house looked somewhat like a Japanese style home. There was a nice looking green curtain on the window too. I thought about what to do when I suddenly heard my brother saying that this was his dream and the characters had to follow what he said.

I told my brother " No, this is my dream. I'll prove I'm not a dream character." I ran in front of the dream characters and told them to pay attention. I put my hand toward the ground and said " I'll prove it by summoning something at will!" But than it hit me."Wait a minute. Nevermind. Dream characters can do that too...My bad!" The characters stared at me and I didn't know what to do so I asked them "How do you prove your not a dream character?"

One of the guys in front of me than said "like this" than walked up to me and started kissing me. It felt real but Lol I'm not sure that was a valid proof. After that I looked at the door to see my dad entering the yard. He pointed out that he killed creatures that had a green liquid coming out of them. The creature's bodies slowly began to evaporate into orange gas and dissapeared.

My brother than went up to some green ooze and tasted it. I told him he was weird and he said it wouldn't hurt him. When he got out I could see fire coming closer through the halls. I was starting to move back when suddenly my dad said he wanted to go back in and get something. I grabbed him and said no but than he said he just wanted to jump in the fire. The DCs and I jumped and grabbed him but he was kind of strong so we all kind of fell and than I woke up.

NON LUCID
*Hanging out with my old friend perry along with people.

I had joined the army. They are teaching me to drive around on these little Jeeps that are so small they are basically like Power Wheels toys and they only fit one person, save for they seem to run on gasoline and have metal parts, like a real jeep. At one point, one of my tires burst and I was able to just push it on its side and change the tire.

Goddang dry spell. I got some lucid dares, but other things take priority. Though it's nice to have a solid list of goals to take care of.

Here is a rough outline of my goals:

1.) First of all, get this lucid issue worked out with Manei, see if I can take down this dry spell. I don't see how I'm gonna go anywhere if I can barely get lucid in the first place. So this takes the #1 Priority.

2.) Then I would like to get on to manifesting Dawn and Eye in my dreams. I've had a couple snippets, but I gotta get all three of them in a good long LD.

3.) Then I got two lucid dares; both holiday themed. Sensei dared me to meet Jack Skellington. (Think i'd better re-watch Nightmare Before Christmas... ) and the other, Percylucid dared me to deliver presents as Santa Claus. (Fifty bonus points for a full on Nightmare Before Christmas LD where I complete both dares.)

Thanks for the lucid dares, guys. I'm pumped! This dry spell is goin down! :tropicalboxer:

Lower on my list of priorities; long term goals are:

-I would also like to manifest my old dream nemesis and properly defeat him. (Even better, befriend him.)

-Dream meditation. Has to happen at least once.

-Visit the world from my comic strip while lucid. Get some ideas.

-Manifest my friends S and C into my dreams.

Morning of December 8, 2014. Monday.

Dream #: 17,521-02. Reading time: 2 min 21 sec.



There is a first time for everything, including the bizarre method of travel I use in this dream. I need to buy food for my family. There are magazines that I plan on taking to the store in a bag I will tie around my bicycle handles. Someone is visiting my family, and I do not want them to read my books or lose them. I soon decide that it may not be a good idea because the cashier might think that I got the magazines there and put them in the bag without paying. (This makes little sense as I would not be taking my bicycle into the store.) Later, I decide to put them in a bookcase under the bottom shelf on the floor, as a visitor may not think to look there.

The time is ambiguous and seems to alternate between night and day. Instead of riding a bicycle to the store, I cheerfully indulge in an impossible way to travel while feeling as if I am showing off. I slide on my stomach in the street, closer to the curb, with my right hand stretched out ahead of me. My right hand is pressing palm down on what seems to be a circular section of sandpaper, rough side down, which I use to move quickly. I slide rapidly down the street on my stomach without feeling much resistance. There is not much friction in this method of travel, and it is not uncomfortable. I notice other people on the sidewalk and a few people in their yards including a couple working in their garden. I quickly slide past them, wondering what they are thinking. I pass a few cars.

At one point, an unfamiliar young boy, though older than my youngest son, is also traveling this way on my right. I become annoyed that he matches my speed. I eventually get to the grocery store, which is small and does not have many items. I think I will put the groceries on my back in a knapsack as I travel back home in the same way.

I consider buying a bottled drink, maybe fruit juice, perhaps carbonated. However, there are only about five bottles near the checkout and to my right, and they are bent or broken at the top. Another male of about sixty picks up a damaged bottle. It breaks near the neck. I tell the man that they are unsuitable for purchase. He makes a random comment about recently living in a third world country, but I do not recall its name. (This partly reflects a real-life event where I watched a man pick up a cheap glass in a store, and it shattered, possibly from the heat of his hand. He had to get it bandaged.)

Later, I go to an area to buy some bread rolls that have small meat-based meals inside them. However, one must use a store-supplied fork to take them out of the cluster in which they are arranged (similar to how one uses tongs in real life to take individual buns from their display case). A long section of the display contains something that resembles the remains of a big turkey dinner, with several pieces of silverware submerged in grease. It seems strange and unhygienic. I take a fork out of the fat and use it to try to remove two buns from the shelf, but they mostly fall apart. My dream loses cohesion at this point, and I do not keep anything to buy.

---

I was at my house (Actually my house In real life) and I think that i heard something, then i went outside, ran over to my friends house. Ran out in front of there house, then I was with someone, he had a broom (That looked like a Crook) We flew around the block a couple of times, then I said put me down so we don't get in trouble, He pushes me off when he was close to the ground. I get up and he goes off to put away his broom. Then my friends from the house I was just in front of, come out (We were apperently very loud?) He said my friends had gotten there letters, then He says that I can still come, We go to my house (It's really dark outside , IDK if it's just that or it's super early in the morning there) we celebrate, I am sat infront of someone, we start talking, We think "What if one of is someone else" I slap him, He slaps me. Flips to like the TV, with an ad/ tv show, a woman fires a rocket launcher. And that is when I woke up, and went "What? the?! FAQ?!?!?

Throwing snowballs, Gizmo songs and massive six combo of lucid task dares done!!! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I think I did it again and surpassed my plateau of length of lucid as well as goals accomplished during a single lucid. As I have been saying for the last three days, I had the feeling of a lucid coming, and I did not have a good sleep a few nights ago (getting adjusted to the new house) but yesterday's night I slept well, yet no lucid, which surprised me, and last night, turned lucid.

I remember faintly how did I exactly turned lucid and I neither recall what I was dreaming before that. I believe I was in some wax museum and the sculptures were talking. I exited the museum and, fully lucid I took a small flight to make the dream stable. I was very happy that I turned lucid and that finally I broke my dry spell. The quality of the dream was exceptional and I was exited to get finally my wings back and hit some dares while I was at it. I started to walk down the street. The road was made out of little stones, pretty much like on the roman ages. All the buildings were made out of stone as well and there was no lightning, however, it was a warm morning. It looked something like this:







I started to think about the tasks of the month. I thought of throwing a snowball at a dream character, however, it was warm. I reminded myself that in a dream, all could happen. I started looking for snow, and after walking for a while (I was no longer flying now) I saw a little bit of snow on the road. It was like when almost all snow is gone an melted, that you can find a flake here and there. I turned the corner and I saw a small plaza, that had a decent amount of snow. Lucky me, there was a lot of people around, so I grabbed some snow from the ground and made a snowball. I approached at a female character (no, she did not fell back with her legs in the air first!, and I would have tossed the ball before anything else...) She was looking at my snowball and hit her on the face. She was shocked for a brief moment and then, she continued walking like if nothing happened. (Talk about dummy DCs hahaha.) This officially completed my basic Task of the Month:

It was time for the advanced task of the month. Despite I am almost as Christmas freak as Elf is, I did not feel like going hunting for Santa and sneak into his sleigh and I neither wanted do to do the snow globe task. Only Gizmo was left, not very excited but a very easy task. I saw a store, it was pretty old on the outside. When I entered the store, it looked like a Winery store I worked when I was 18 but much bigger. I told them I wanted to buy a present where Gizmo was wrapped up in. I was taken to the backroom, which looked exactly like the backroom from the Winery store, but much larger. A female employee handed me a green box with a golden ribbon. I felt it was going to be an awesome present for someone, but I knew that my task did not ended here and realized that it was a dream gift anyway, so I could not actually give it to anyone in waking life.

I left the store holding the box, and apparently, no one cared that I just walked by the register without the intents to pay... oh well. There was a bench right next to the store. I could hear a little voice inside the box, like if it was signing. I opened the box and Gizmo was in there, and I believe it was actually the real thing and not a plastic toy. I started to pet it and it felt soft and warm:







I told Gizmo to teach me a new song. Unfortunately, I forgot most of it because there is a long way to go still on this massive dream. But I believe it was something like. "One, two, three, gizmo, gizmo, four, five, six, gizmo, gizmo." Then, I think he sang a mantra from Lord Ganesha, at least, the lyrics were familiar to me, but my recall for the actual song is vague... I remember I sang the song back to gizmo and he was happy. I sang it a few more times to keep it in my mind and write it down once I woke up. Advanced ToTM, checked!

I started to explore the new place I was at. Instead of a roman old school city, I was now in Chicago downtown. It was easy to recognize as I was next to Marina City:







So much for the Roman city into Chicago!! My mind amazes me sometimes! I focused on hitting some of the easy lucid dares for anyone to get more bonus points. At this stage of the dream, I did not remember I had outstanding personal dares to complete. I first though of an easy task, to summon Nfri. Which I did. I rose my hand, sorcerer style and asked for Nfri to show up. A tall and slim female showed up. I could not tell her hair color because she wore winter clothing (once again, amazing mind dressed the summoned dream character accordly to the weather on December at Chicago, lol.) Her clothing was all pink and she was dressed very sexy. She smiled at me and she was standing, which a sexy look. She looked something like this (but her hair was covered, and the raincoat was a clearer pink.







I was happy because I completed one dare already (funny to find upon checking the dares thread that Nfri is a dude.)

As this female version of Nfri kept approaching at me, I knew right away what was going on, but my dream quality was high and I did not want to waste time, so I recalled another anyone dare I could get done. I walked by hear and faced her, face to face. She tried to get intimate with me (yes, in the middle of Chicago downtown!) but I refused to interact and just turned her my back and walking away. It was actually easy task, I think my drive to make a big record was strong!

I kept walking down the street and I recalled another anyone dare. I was unsure if I using my phone as a catalyst for dream control was an anyone or someone's else personal task. I took my phone out from my pocket, which looked like my waking life phone. I was in front of a cross street and traffic was very heavy, but cars were driving fast. I pointed at one of the roads with my phone and with my thumb, I slide it right to left, with the intents to push all the cars to go in reverse. Amazingly, it worked first try, and even more amazingly, no one crashed. I started to swing my cell phone left and right very fast, with the intent of accelerating the traffic, which happened, but neither no one crashed (I wasn't thinking they would crash neither trying, probably the reason it did not happen.) I tapped my screen to see what would happen, and the whole dream froze, I think even dream went silent. The whole thing was frozen. That was some amazing effects from just a phone!

It was exciting, but I suddenly found my dream getting obliterated in seconds. I did not have time to even to try to save it.

I had a false awakening in bed, I felt satisfied about the dream and getting two ToTM and three dares done. I reached my journal to write down the dream and tried to turn the lamp on that I have in waking life. (the green one)







Not working. I tapped it a couple more times. Nothing.

I turned lucid right away. I exalted "Lamp not working... hahaha, these lamps always work." My wife woke up and asked me what was wrong, if I was cold or something. I told her that I just got tricked with a false awakening and that I was still dreaming. My wife told me that I was talking nonsense. I checked my hands and indeed I was lucid, they looked like a hologram. I jumped off bed and recalled since I was able to remember the whole lucid dream, I decided to continue my dreaming. My wife followed me, pretty upset stating I was asleep. We exited the house and we were in a modern city surrounded by trees, definitely not the same as waking, proving I was indeed dreaming. Wife kept insisting I wasn't. I rose my hand and pointed at it with my other hand saying, "Do you think my hand is supposed to look like this?" My ring finger was like a quarter inch long. I took of to fly, but for some odd and rare reason, I could only bounce about 10 feet tops or so. My wife kept telling me, "See, you can't fly, you are awake, go back to bed before someone calls the cops." Like if jumping 10 feet was normal. I just walked away ignoring my wife, after all she was a dumb DC reflected by my mind. I saw a UFO saucer gliding above some trees. It was semi-transparent and it was vanishing:







I grabbed it before it took off and I thought of the next dare. To fly to the sun. I felt it would be easy to use this vehicle to get there faster, so I set that intent and the saucer to take me there. It was going at high speed and I could feel fire all around me. Now, the saucer looked like a regular shuttle from NASA. I was already in space and realized I was in my pajamas... oh well, big deal. We were getting closer to the sun and I released the shuttle, as in theory, I had to fly through the sun. I kept flying and I entered the sun. I could see my whole being burning, but it did not hurt, I kept flying until I passed through it and I was on the other side of the sun.







I could see a whole lot of different planets that were not from our solar system. This is nonsense in waking since all the planets surround the sun, but in the dream, is like all the planets were in front of the sun (what we see) and others (unknown) behind it.

I felt free, I was away from Earth and I felt I wanted to fly home (not Earth...) and a huge smile and feeling of freedom and bliss surrounded my whole being. However, I recalled right away that I had personal dares and they were still to be done. I freaked out a bit because I wanted to give priority to those and I forgot, so I remembered one of them, and since I was in space, I started to glide north until the whole space turned white, so I asked to be taking to the Creator of the Dream. I was taking to God, or what I had a impression of god, a huge amount of white light, made of pure love, light and bliss, it was a massive consciousness with a very powerful energy. I asked this energy/God, "What does this dream mean?" The creator replied to me, but funny enough, instead of through normal words, he did it through my clairsentient ability (psychic hearing) and he told me, "You are like Messi, breaking records all the time." I laughed because I never thought of it, but it was true that I was trying to break a record indeed, and Messi, just broke another record in the soccer match I watched yesterday."

I was happy that my dream was still stable so I decided to go back to Earth to get my two more personal dares done (Too bad I was realizing that one of them was an anyone dare that I challenged everybody else too and that I was missing to kick Dark Vather's ass as it was one of my dares and being at space, I had a golden chance to do it, oh well.)

I flew back to Earth and got very quickly back to it. I entered Earth in a kind of an odd way, shoulder first and I heard a massive noise and saw fire all around me. I was like a fireball and I thought, "This is not going to end well! But I laugher."







A few moments later, I was inside a house (what the heck???) There was some dude who was pretty pissed of at me. He wanted me to study and do my homework (I finished school many years ago, lol.) I wanted to get out the house. I did not feel it had good energy. I feel this house was in the middle of nowhere, somewhere around Texas among massive corn wheat fields. I wanted to explore the area. The dude tried his best to prevent me to leave. I saw there was a bar right next to me. The back of this bar was made out of windows and I could see a ton of futuristic buildings (so much for "middle of nowhere") and a huge pool with a lot of people around. There were three stools and three young woman having a drink. These woman appeared to be also pissed at me. I tried another of my personal dares. I rose my hands and started channeling energy, to the intent to make time go faster.

At first, nothing happened, but then I realized that these ladies looked like they were on their 50s and they kept aging fast. Some shrunk in size and one of them had her hair turn white. I kept pushing energy and set the intent for hundreds of years to happen. I saw through the windows how all of the people on the pool and walking by were also aging. However, they never died, turned into skeletons (or dust, zombies... nothing) they just went as old as you can imagine and even older than that



The building and other inanimate objects did not seem to be affected at all. I was very surprised this worked.

They all kept aging, getting more wrinkles and looking more like a skull, but they remained alive and they kept doing whatever they were doing prior to do this. I felt it was enough of the aging and released the energy. They progressively went back to their original ages, except for the ladies next to me sitting on the bar, which stopped de-aging at the age of 50s.

Suddenly, everybody got on their knees and started to adore me like I was a God. I believed this was another of my personal dares (without knowing it was my dare, and the requires of my dare were different.) I kept thanking people for adoring me and they brought me x-mas gifts (lol) I felt happy and I thought I had all my personal dares done, so I decided to wake myself up, as I seemed to still be with a decent quality dream, but I was risking too much if I continued working on more dares and not getting my butt out of my real bed to write all down.
