side notes

Recently some of the abilities I can confidently use in lucid dreams have appeared in my non-lucid dreams.
I occasionally find myself using them without thinking or realizing that I am in fact dreaming.
The most common ones I use are "Fire" and "dragon eyes".
They're both abilities I associate with dragonic powers in my lucid dreams.
Creating and manipulating fire is rather straightforward, using the dragon eyes not so much.
If a DC looks into my eyes whilst I have the "dragon eyes" open, I can order the DC to perform any action and he will obey.
This works with most DC's, except those who seem unnaturally strong. (those who present themselves as other dreamers or other conscious entities)


I'm at university, attending some kind of lecture.
The dean enters the classroom and asks if I can come with him.
This doesn't really surprise me, I sometimes help the school with some stuff, I assume it's about something related to that.
I get up and follow him.
He opens his office. There's 3 men inside wearing suits... weird.
He closes the door without entering.

"Mr. Zimmer?"
"Yes? Can I help you?"
"Indeed you can, we're from the FBI."
"Oh? What brings you to Germany?"
"You do, Mr. Zimmer... Or should I call you 'Hyu'?"

I'm confused and feel horribly uncomfortable, as if I had committed some sort of crime.
But I know I have not. Yet I am Hyu, but how do they know? It's the nickname I use on the internet, is this related to some of my online activities?
It's the Fbi, they have no jurisdiction here.
I try to remain calm.

"Mr. Zimmer is fine. Please explain yourself, what do you want from me?"
"We want you to come with us."
"I'm afraid I'll need an explanation before I'm going anywhere, you have no jurisdiction here."
"Indeed, we do not."

The agent pulls out a gun and points it at my chest.
I freak out as he pulls the trigger and I feel the pain of something penetrating my skin.
What the heck? This wasn't a bullet! He shot me with a tranq gun.
My body goes numb and I fall to the ground...


... I regain consciousness. It's cold...
The room I'm in is dark and moist.
I'm wearing nothing but underpants, and I am constrained on a metal chair.
The metal is really cold... and it reeks. I'm scared.
I try to move my arms, but I can barely move them a few millimeters.
They are chained to the chair at multiple locations.
I start panicking and try to pull myself loose.

But I quickly understand that there is no way that is going to happen.
My legs are chained in the same way my arms are, there are multiple belts as well, keeping my body constrained to the chair.
The system is so solid and complex that I can't even turn my head.
Fuck!

I try to calm down. I need to think.

Someone enters the room... he's wearing a doctors outfit... it's full of blood stains... fuck fuck fuck.
He studies a chart and then approaches me.
He turns on a spotlight attached to his headband, which blinds me.

"Who are you???"
"..."
"Where am I?!"
"..."

He doesn't give a shit and completely ignores me.
At first I think that he'll inject me with a huge syringe, but he actually proceeds to drain blood from my left arm.
He's fucking disgusting. He smells horribly, as if he hasn't showered for weeks, and he doesn't look any better than he smells.

Fuck this!

I try to channel energy in order to set him on fire... but it fails miserably.
Red lights on bracelets on my arms start flashing... and that's it... nothing happens. There is no fire.
I realize the bracelets have tubes that feed into my arms... what the fuck?

"Heh. Stupid shit. You're not going to use fire magic for a long time."
"Guard! We're taking him with us. I want him to see something..."

A guard enters the room and unlocks some of the chains.
He then forces me to stand up and follow the doctor.
The chains around my body are still massive. It's a complex setup of massive steel locks.
The whole apparatus is heavy, I have a hard time walking with all the weight I have to carry.
There's no way I'll be able to resist.

I am brought into a room similar to the one I was held in.
There's 2 prisoners inside.
A girl and a guy, both about my age.
I quickly realize that the girl is dead.
It looks like she died of blood loss, which she lost through her eyes.
How horrible!

The guy seems quite scared. He looks at me, and I can see the desperation in his eyes.
He knows he is going to die.

The doctor approaches him. He is going to inject him with the blood he's taken from me... why?

"They're going to kill me... just like they killed the girl."
"Your blood killed her."

The doctor intervenes: "Shut your mouth."
But knowing what's going to happen to him, he doesn't care.

"If there's anything you can do... do it."
"They will torture you until they find a way to extract your abilities... and after that they'll have no more use for you."

Fuck... if this is true... I have to act now... but how? I can't do shit with these bracelets.
The doctor gets ready to insert the needle into his arm.
I can feel the adrenaline pumping...

...

The bracelets... they prevent me from using fire...

"Hey doc!"
"Shut it!"
"You know, this is not going to work, you can't transmit the fire genes like that..."

I'm pulling this out of my ass... I just need him to look me in the eyes before he performs the injection.
Maybe they don't know what I can do if someone looks into my eyes, maybe they only know about the fire.

"... Those tricks are not going to work. Don't waste my time."
"Don't inject him and I'll tell you how to transfer my powers..."
"... I've actually got them from someone else, I wasn't born with them."

This is never going to work...
He turns around and looks at me.
Or maybe it will?

"Bullshit!"
"Look me in the eyes, do I look like I'm lying to you? My fucking life is on the line."

And he does.
Got you!

I open the dragon eyes and stare right into his soul.
I can see every bit of evil inside of him. What a disgusting and horrible person.
He tries to resist, so I push it.
His eyes turn bloody... he won't be able to take this for long.
I need to hurry up.
I order him with my mind.

"Undo the bracelets!"

He approaches me like a puppet and begins deactivating the bracelets.
The guard notices and freaks out, yelling at the doctor to stop.
But he doesn't... he can't even hear the guard, he can only hear the overwhelming voice of my mind.
The guard pulls out his gun, but it's too late.
The bracelets are off.

The concentrated fire bullet I just launched at him hits him in the head and splits his skull.
He drops to the ground dead.

"PLEASE! Help me! I can get us out!"
"I know the way, and I can open the doors."

I don't have a choice, I have no idea where I am.
He's wearing bracelets as well.
I concentrate some fire onto them and they stop working.
He closes his eyes and all the locks on his and my constraints unlock at once.

"I control electricity. I can control most electrical devices."
"That's useful..."

I spot a small red led at the top of the room... fuck... a camera.

"We need to get out. Now!"

He gets up and we start running.
The corridor outside the cell leads straight to a big steel security door.
He opens it with his ability. It starts lifting upwards.

But behind it, a whole armed task force is waiting for us.
In panic, I prepare to set them all on fire, but it seems my new buddy got this.
With a simple hand motion, he creates an electromagnetic field dragging all their equipment towards the ground.
The belts of their machine guns prevent them from getting back up and we just run past them.

This guy is amazing. He locks all doors around us, except for the ones we need to escape.
We encounter little resistance on our way out since everyone is locked in other rooms.
Finally we reach an elevator and get inside.

Apparently we're at level "-28" which is also the lowest level.
Where the fuck are we.
It goes all the way up to "0", which is where we are going.

The elevator doors open and we get out.
We're in a rather small room, with some sort of reception and a big steel door which presumably leads outside.
I can see a nuclear warning sign on it... I see. We are in an old nuclear bunker.
A girl working the reception freaks out once she spots us and grabs a phone.

"Do yourself a favor and don't bother..."

I feel more confident now that we're nearly out. I'm not really that scared anymore.
She drops the phone and puts her arms in the air.

"Good girl."

My new friends opens the door with a wave of his hand and the bright light from outside blinds me.
We step out, not seeing anything, but then my vision normalizes...

"Fuck..."
"Yes. I thought you knew how to get out?"
"We are out. But I had no idea where the fuck this facility actually was..."
"Well shit..."

We're in the middle of the desert.
You can see extremely far from where we are, but there's nothing to see but sand.
Never ending sand and the fucking door leading back into the nuclear bunker.

Armed forces stream out of the bunker pointing their machine guns at us.
There's a guy in a suit with them, presumably the leader of whatever is going on in the bunker.

... Hold on a second... I can teleport, can't I?
Or... wait... WHAT THE FUCK?

I'm angry... I'm properly mad.

"WHAT IS THIS SHIT?"

The guy I escaped with is confused.

"What?"
"THIS IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE!"

I'm so pissed. How did I not notice.
I need to unleash some of this anger...
I approach the guy in the suit.

Everyone starts shooting at me, emptying their magazines, but the bullets just bounce off me.
What do they expect? I'm lucid, they can't do shit.

I grab the guy by his neck and lift him off the ground.

"If you meet my subconscious, kindly ask it: 'What the fuck?'"

I set him on fire. The flames are purple, and so strong that he immediately disintegrates, not even leaving behind any ashes.
In my anger I call out to Faye, associating her with my subconscious and thus as someone responsible for this nightmare.

"FAYE!"

She appears and immediately makes me a sign to let her say something first.

"I didn't do this Hyu. This is not my fault. It wasn't me."
"Then who did?"
"No one... nightmares don't work like that..."

I finally manage to calm down.
And then I realize something rather important.

"Sorry Faye... I didn't mean to be angry at you."
"And I get it now. This is actually a positive experience, not a negative one."
"Aha! How so?"
"If I had this same nightmare and I wasn't lucid dreaming, I wouldn't have been able to break free from it."
"The habits I've acquired in lucid dreams have helped me to escape from this nightmare, and from many others before."

She smiles in agreement.

I feel a lot better, somewhat refreshed actually.
Beating a nightmare feels good. I feel strong, like I have an ability that most people don't.
The dream fades away...

[COLOR="silver"]I think I am going to stopusing the timer method on weekdays, it makes me really tired and it's really annoying alarm to wake up to every day. And it only seem to work when I have slept for more than 6 hours, so the weekend is perfect. Anyway this morning I had a weird dream about something that appearntly my subconscious if focusing on.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I had a party at my house, there was a girl there I used to like when I was younger. Her name was Lisa, she is really good looking, but I don't like her anymore because she has changed. Anyhow another girl called Madeleine was there too and she is also hot, and I do like her but I'm not in love with her. Partly because we are two different persons and partly because my bestfriend is in love with her. Although in the dream she was hitting on me, she looked at me with eyes that showed me that she was interested in me in a shy way. I had to make a decision, go with Madeleina or Lisa.
I started to like Lisa again for some reason, but I still choosed Madeleine... I can assure you that I am not in love with her in real life, but my subconscious feel guilty for some reason...
[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]On Weekdays I am going to try the technique that my phiosophy teacher uses to dream whatever she wants, and my mom used to get her first lucid dream.

The original snooze and sleep. Like a fast WBTB just to increase the chances of a DILD. Let's see how that goes.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I remembered four dreams when I woke up, but I didn't noted it so I forgot one of them :D ... I remembered it again![/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I were in a bar with my friends, and I wanted a cupcake but also something to drink. So I wanted a cola, then I saw a Blue botte and the tag said "Coca Coola Beer" and I said "I must to have that!" but then I couldn't afford a cupcake I thought, but when I reached down my pocket I found enough money to be able to pay. The previous day my friends had talked about beer andI had been drinking coola, so I might have dreamt this because of that.

In my next dream I was in a hospital and I saw J.D from Scrubs (one of my favourite tv-shows). I walked around the hospital for a bit, but then I felt an extremely desire to go to the bathroom, but when I got there Turk was blocking the door. He said "No on is aloud to go in here" and I said "I'm about to shit my pants let me in!". "NO!", "Ok then I shit outhere" I said. Turk got really scared and said "Ok, ok get in". Inside there was a man who looked like Mick Jagger and I understood why Turk hadn't let me in. I think this dream was influenced by Pandabear's dream :)

In the third dream I was in a house and saw a kalabas. Inside it I found a breadlamp a loaf of bread and I asked my dad what kind of bread this was. And he said that this wasn't an ordinary loaf, "It's the loaf of language! I you take a bite of it and say a language and you will be able to speak it". I took a piece and said "French!" "aihjawlkjfawfhwfoi" nothing made sense.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up from the timer, but I didn't lay still so I didn't made a conscious DEILD attempt, although I saw a dream form infront of me, but I didn't stayed aware...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was out in the rain and I saw a girl with a red dress, she looked like my old classemate Louise. She told me to follow her, I did but she was very fast, but I eventually came to a house. I went inside and saw that it was an internet café. She stood in line to pay, it was weird and then I woke up.[/COLOR]

Notes: Because things have changed so much for me in the past few months, I ended up just setting aside my dream journal for about a month. It's hard to be dream motivated when things are so stressful. However, I think I'm ready to try again.

I read a post here about writing down your day's events at the end of the day, and I started doing that two days ago. Already I've noticed improvements. I was motivated enough this morning to write out a long dream.

I think I'll wait a week before picking out dream signs since I started over. Also, I don't know how the next few days will go because this morning, I woke up feeling like I was dying (stupid ovaries), so I may not care about writing dreams down as I reach for the trash can and some pain killers.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

09.27.2011

Shoujo Hop (Non-lucid)

Me, mom and dad were walking in the store on the far right. We saw an Asian (he had the typical features) standing there looking confused, but he looked towards me and I, walking ahead, moved back with mom because I was shy, so that dad was walking ahead.

The boy, who looked about my age, started trying to talk to dad in 'Korean'. Dad was like "okaaay" and started to walk on. I took pity and before I passed him, I stopped to help.

I had my hair up in pigtails like I went to bed with in RL.

I asked if he knew any English. He shook his head. For a second I wondered why he was there then, and how he understood me. I ended up moving on and saw that he'd gotten on pixiv. Maybe on a small black device, and I saw it that he was on pixiv in my head.

We walked on again and mom and dad were arguing about the boy. Dad thought maybe he was mentally retarded or something.

~Gap~

- I'm walking up to mom and the cart, and maybe I have something.

- I was talking to dad about product(s). There was a little more detail about the groceries but I didn't have the best recall.

~ Gap~

Mom ducks under a low hang. 'How cute it is', she said, and I was confused. I ducked under it, bumping my head. Then I see a baby seat on a shopping cart. I look at the baby in it as I pass, but it's kind of ugly and I wonder how mom thought it was cute. It looked more like a baby with a man's face.

As I passed it the mother came back. I tell her about bumping my head, but she seemed to ignore me.

~Gap~

I was walking along a swingset. The style felt more anime-like. Girls (5-6) were swinging. One saw me and pretty much flew off the swing and glomped onto me. A couple more piled onto me, and someone/me mentions/thinks that we looked like the Powerpuff Girls.

I think we were sprawled on the ground in a pose. I started naming off groups we could be, and the girl's expressions changed depending on what I said. They were amusing. Only one I remember now is Sailor Moon and some licensed media.

~Gap~

We were posting our cosplay pics online for a short time. One got taken down because the media was licensed. I saw the page on the internet. The pic link wasn't up anymore. I figured the cosplay based on the Japanese show(s) hadn't been taken down because it's harder for Japanese companies to wade through English pages.

The girls were less anime-like and older.

~Gap~

One of the girls, blonde-haired, was sitting outside a house on the porch. She said she was 'practicing her Kubota by _x_ anyone who went by'. She seemed to be glaring.

x = Something like 'taking care of'.

Me: Kubota from the manga Wild Adapter by Minekura Kazuya.

pixiv - A Japanese (fan)art website I go to often.

Side notes: My dad would never say 'okaaay' much less not help someone in need. Also, I totally understand the gap parts, I know why I'd associate certain things with other things. It was interesting to follow.

I had one other private dream.

I had the coolest dream ever. But i don't remember again.

It was like some kind of movie. Like , Bug's life. But this time it was about spiders. I was looking at the life of some weird unevolved spider. Looked like an ant. I dont know lol!! It was really cute and funny i was just watching this all unfold in a 3 hour scenario. With twists and turns, and happy parts and sad parts but i just can't remember lol.

There was like this small family of spiders. A bunch of really little ant-like creatures and one bigger spider. All walking around hills and stuff looking for foods. And trying to avoid bigger animals. Then some furry animal kidnapped one of the spiders or something and the whole thing turned into a quest to kill the furry animal. Eventually all of the spiders jumped on the animal and it died. But not without squashing like 3-4 baby spiders. But it was still a happy end. Then a baby evolved into real spiders. Then one spider evolved into a even bigger, harier and greener (alien) spider. Then i kinda started waking up with amnesia.

[COLOR="silver"]I had some very vivid dreams, but I can't remember exactly what they were about. I used the timer setup but with wrong settings so instead of giving me a lucid dream it gave me headache...[/COLOR]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2516[/ATTACH]
[COLOR="blue"]I had some dream about bees, but I didn't remember more and I don't want to recall the rest hehe.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was at some kind of camp. There were a really evil guy who was mean to everyone. I wanted to say hello and see if he really was that mean. I got into his room and said "Hello my name is Christian" and I gave him my hand, he just stared at me with a "I don't care look". And I said "you will regret this. I then sat in some kind of computer room and my old classmates were there and I told them about the guy and we all agreed of kicking him out.
Weird dream, but this was the only thing I can remember from it.[/COLOR]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2517[/ATTACH]
[COLOR="blue"]I were out with my parents and their friends on a trip. Their dog followed me and I scratched his neck. We were good friends, we walked into a forrest and suddenly the dog shrinked into a the size of a bean. I got chocked! I didn't realised that I was dreaming, but I got a little more aware. I told the others what had happend and they also got chocked. I heard water and saw that there was a river infront of me. I saw a guy on a surfing board with a chainsaw approaching me, I jumped really high and escaped, but I saw my parents get sliced behind me!
This was a weird dream as well, but the alarm woke me up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]Oh by the way, I have all my dreams collected in the Banhurt Dream Journal software and now I am ranked as a REM Chaser. Hihi very motivating.

When I woke up from the weird dreams and the annoying alarms, I heard my dad saying that he had his first lucid dream, wohoo! But he wasn't excited so he didn't woke up, instead the dream tricked him that he was dreaming again.[/COLOR]

Morning 2:
After talking to my wife about what I experienced the first go-round, she wants to try it with me next time. She's a little nervous about it so I decide we should just take one pill for 4mg Galantamine and 200mg Choline. We do it on a Sunday so we have time in the morning to do it. I wake up at around 5am for the WBTB and we take one pill each. It still takes me a while to fall asleep but since I only took one pill, things don't seem to be as crazy as last time. I eventually go to sleep but don't really have any drastic changes to my dreaming (at least not that I remember at this point). My wife reports that it took her awhile to go back to sleep and I believe she had a vivid dream but I don't remember.

As you can tell, this wasn't much of a success.

School day and abrubt awakenings sorry. So sad i don't remember any scenes just feelings.

I was lucid for a long time, i remember testing some dream control. And later i remember fighting giant robots/transformers and something about lasers perhaps. And quite possibly Oneironaut again. But it was definetly someone from this forum..

That's it.

My school starts late today, so I asked my dad if he could wake me up before he went to work.
He woke me up 7.15 and he set my alarmclock to wake me up 8.00 so I didn't overslept.
It should be added that before my dad woke me up I had used the timer method, so I had had like 12 small awakenings or WBTBs. But after my dad had left, I fell asleep again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I saw a steel door, I opened it and saw a stair I went down through the stairs and now I saw a lot of shoes, and I immediately realised where I was. I where in my old taekwondo club, which is a basement.
I went in there I noticed that there where a lot of people, and usually we only were are few. But now it was many teenagers like 10 boys and 12 girls, and this is a small taekwondo club. I was wearing jeans and a tee-shirt and I asked the trainer if it was ok that I joined the training with that. Then I saw that all the other were also wearing normal clothes, and the trainer told me yes. There were many hot girls there, and I got a feeling of me wanting to show of, in real life I have pracctised taekwondo for 8 years, and have a blackbelt so I should be able to impress newbies. Suddenly I see my classmate Martin running passed me, and I thought "hmm weird what is he doing here" and then I saw my friends Mattias and Johan. I wanted to impress them too so I did a wallflip and a sideflip, but then I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I was aware of that I had woke up, so I lay still and just thought my way back to the same location again.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="lightblue"]I started to see vague images of my previous dream, but then I was just standing there again.
[/COLOR][COLOR="red"]This time however, I was lucid! This was my longest dream ever, but I lost my lucidity very soon, but not as fast as I usually do, so that's improvement.
I saw my perception getting clearer and admired the vividness of the dream, and I looked at the new guys training.
I wasn't lucid enough to understand that the people where dream characters, but I was lucid enough to understand that this was a dream and I can do what ever I want. I associated the taekwondo club with one person. A girl who once where my best friend, but i haven't seen her for a long time, since I quitted. I started to yell out her name "Nikita are you here?" and I heard a voice "Yeah I am in the other room." I said hey! and I hugged her. She sat in the clubs minigym and I thought oboy let's try to lift something really heavy. I thought to myself let's try benchpress. I thought that this is the truley oppurtunity to try to "free my mind", I grabbed the bar and it weighs 20kg/44 pounds so I tried to do that with one hand, it's not much I know but I am not that strong for real either :P But it felt completely normal, so I tried to imagine that the bar was made of styrofoam, and I felt that the bar was easier to lift! This was just a small test, but every little helps. But next time I think I will summon Morpheus instead to get the real training going.
Then something embarrassing happen. The girl's mom came into the gym and gave me a friendly kiss, like the kiss small children gives to their moms, so not a passionate kiss, but still... and I lost my lucidity, although the dream kept going.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]I went into the training area again, and I noticed that the trainer didn't know anything about taekwondo and I got angry, because I don't want him to embarrass this beautiful sport. So I told the guys, "Hey if I can do a sidewallflip on this wall, will you let me hold the training then?" They all seemed to be hating me, because I had stolen the attention from the girls. So they said "No, but do it anyway haha" I did but I didn't landed perfectly so I tripped and fell. They all laughed, but the girls were still impressed so it was worth it hehe.
I went out from the training and walked to the entrance, where the dream had started out, I remember that I head a baby scream and some girls talking french, then I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I woke up from the alarm my dad had set. So the clock was now 08.00 and I had dreamt non stop! So that makes it a 45 minute dream. It's possible that I don't remember some blackouts or what ever, but I was very aware the whole time so that's not very likely, too bad that this wasn't a 45 minute lucid dream though :cheeky:

And oh if you wonder why I dare to write these private dreams, with names and so on, it's because this is nothing compared what our minds really WANT to dream, and you guys also dream these things, I promise :D[/COLOR]

Continued from: Dreams change - A stay at an ice hotel on another world - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I can hear voices. They are very gentle voices whispering unknown names.
I feel like I'm floating.
Am I in SP? Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming within the dream?
I try to open my eyes but I can't.
I can't feel my eyes, in fact, I can't feel my body at all.
But I remain calm, I'm not worried at all.
I like the whispering voices, they are so calm.

Once of the voices gradually becomes louder:

"Wake up sleepy head!"

Huh? what? My eyes finally open.
Yuya is leaning over me.

"You weren't kidding when you told me you were a deep sleeper."
"How late is it? It feels way too early to get up."
"Does it matter? You do realize that you're technically asleep anyways yes?"

Huh? ... oh... OH!

I get our of bed.

"I forgot."
"Of course... don't forget to breathe. "

I don't get that she's making fun of me at first, and think about whether I have to breathe or not.
As soon as I get out of bed I realize how cold it still is.
I realize that I'm still in the same bedroom as before, but the thought is very vague and in the back of my head.

I start rubbing my hands instinctively.

"Cold?"
"No... I'm... stabilizing?"
"Does the dream seem unstable to you?"

I can literally feel everything.

"No."
"Then stop rubbing your hands and let's do something productive, alright? "
"Yes... how about we go somewhere... a bit less cold?"
"It's an interesting experience for sure, but I think I've had enough of it."
"Haha, alright, let's go to the other side of the planet, I think you're gonna prefer it over there."

She does the bubble teleport trick again. I have no idea how it works, but it is very quick.

We end up in a new location. It feels a bit dark at first, but my eyes quickly adapt.
In fact I very quickly acquire the surreal version I've experienced quite a few times in my dreams.
The landscape looks amazing!



Everything is sort of dark, yet anything that emits light is so colorful and bright.
The contrast between things is extreme.

"There's a small village right over there."

We're walking towards it slowly, I'm in no hurry.
I really enjoy just being here. Everything is so beautiful,
the temperature is just right, and there's a nice breeze of fresh air.

I take a closer look at Yuya as we walk along this path, discussing random things.
My vision is so good, I can see the pores on her skin.
She's so beautiful...

"Are you staring?"
"Err... it's... for science!"
"Haha... you monster. "

The portal reference amuses me.

We have to cross a bridge before entering.
There's a few funny looking animals floating in the sky above the bridge.
They all look like they belong in the sea rather than the sky, but they're interesting to look at nevertheless.



Everything is so colorful. I really love it when I have this surreal vision.
I should focus on it more often.

We finally enter the village.
It is inhabited by humanoids.
I've met their kind before, they're very similar to humans, except they are in some kind of symbiosis with plants.
You can see it very clearly if you look at their hair, because it's intermixed with plants growing out of their heads.
It looks kinda cool. Some of them also have wings.



We sit down at a bar out in the open. It's a really nice evening.
I suddenly realize that even though I'm always intrigued and amazed by these alien creatures,
I never actually talk to them.
It's time to change that.
There's a women sitting with us at the bar, why not talk to her?

"Hey, I'm Hyu, nice to meet you!"

Well, that might have been a bit formal.
She looks at me curiously.

"Hey! What species are you?"
"I'm human."
"Ooh, interesting! Spirit or dreamer?"
"I'm dreaming."

Oh wait, that's right. I AM dreaming.
Well, I guess I haven't really forgotten, I just haven't thought about it for some time.

"So, what do you do?"
"What do you mean?"
"In waking life, what do you do?"
"I err..."

Yuya looks at me funny.

"He's programming computer games."
"Oh, what's that?"

I'm not sure how to explain, but I can feel Yuya's thoughts,
which make it quite clear that all 3 of us could simply share our thoughts and
my explanations would make perfect sense.

So I proceed to explain what computer games are, and what programming them involves.
I'm really surprised by how well she understands everything, she is super excited to hear
about virtual games from another world.
Yuya becomes rather interested as well and we end up discussing what I am currently working on.

I talk about quadtree terrain, tesselation, atmospheric scattering, all sorts of things,
and everything makes perfect sense to them.
Even though I find some of the topics rather difficult, because they're rather new to me,
I am able to explain everything perfectly.
This is a lot more difficult in waking life.
Explaining what a quadtree is, and why it's useful for terrain is usually enough to fuck with people's minds.

Yuya and the other girl keep asking questions about computer games.
I try to show both of them a few games by projecting memories of playing them into their minds.
I end up showing them a few images from Portal, and they find the game concept amazing.
Logic puzzles seem to be very popular in the dream world.

After some time I feel the dream drifting away.
That's really unfortunate, I'm enjoying myself a lot.
I can't seem to prevent it by willpower though, and I'd feel stupid spinning around.

"Aww... I'm waking up..."

The words don't really leave my mouth, they just echo in my mind.
I wake up...

It's only after a few seconds that I realize how long this dream lasted.
My mind must be playing tricks on me, because combined with the last dream,
this felt like it lasted for at least half a day easily.

I neglected my online DJ quite a bit. :/
I'll try to update it more regularly again.


I'm walking around my room when I suddenly spot an owl sitting on the frame of a window leading outside.
I get a déjà-vu feeling. This doesn't come as too much of a surprise though, this very thing happened today in waking life.
(It did, I actually managed to film him for a minute or so. )


I am dreaming.
The owl flies away as I approach the window. That's kind of unfortunate, I wanted to pet it.
Looking outside the window I notice that everything looks rather weird.
For one, the colors are off, but the shapes of the trees don't seem to be correct either.
Everything looks close to it's waking life counterpart, but at the same time, it couldn't be more different.

This is kind of weird, and I decide to jump out of the window to investigate.
I don't feel the impact of landing at all, the dream probably isn't very stable.
I start rubbing my hands, to get some feeling into my dream body.
As I do this I notice that the whole sky changes.
Huh? this is odd.
It suddenly starts to snow, even though there are no clouds in the sky, and it doesn't really feel that cold?

Just as I think that, I can suddenly feel the icy breeze. What the heck?
I decide to take my shirt off, to feel the cold even more strongly to hopefully further stabilize the dream.
This has worked once in the past, it might work again.
Unfortunately it doesn't really strengthen my senses though.
I can still feel the coldness, but the feeling is quite dull.
The colors aren't very vivid either, and rubbing my hands doesn't feel right.

I turn around and notice that my house is gone.
This dream isn't stable at all, this isn't working.
I decide to try something I have thought of a few times.
I will wake myself up, then try to DEILD and hopefully end up in a more stable dream.
I close my eyes and wait for a bit, focusing on not opening my eyes.

I wake up within seconds, and my eyes open just a tiny bit before I'm able to stop.
After some light flashing, which I don't really think about, I seem to fall back asleep.

I'm not entirely certain that I have begun dreaming yet, but I open my eyes anyways.
Yep, definitely dreaming!
I get up and rub my hands again, this time it feels much more realistic.
Great! I summon my phoenix wings and teleport to Teraluna, hoping to meet up with Yuya.


After meeting up we stroll over the local market, discussing random things.
I end up telling her about the dream I had previous to this one.

"Something has changed, my dreams feel different..."
"How so?"
"Colors for example. My dreams used to be dominated by cold colors, but they aren't anymore."
"Then there's coldness, I have only recently started to experience dreams where I was cold."
"Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike it at all, but for some reason it feels so weird."
"Haha, don't worry about it, your perception can change over time, it's perfectly natural."

"Yeah... if only the cold would feel remotely as enjoyable in waking life."
"You really seem to enjoy it in dreams, you've mentioned it before."
"Hey, wanna go visit the temple of ice on Twi'jur?"
"Uuh... sure, why not?"

I'm a bit worried that I won't make the transition to a new place without waking up.
This dream has been going on for some time now.
I try to suppress that thought though, it won't do me any good.

Yuya performs some sort of trick to create a teleportation bubble.
It's the first time I'm seeing it, she usually draws portals.


We end up inside a big room, which reminds me of an hotel reception.
I shiver from the cold... this place is completely made out of ice!



I wonder if ice hotels look anything like this in waking life... well, probably not.
We start walking up a spiral staircase, which is made out of ice as well.
The ice is very clear and you can see through the stairs.
My feet start hurting really bad from walking on the ice barefoot.
It really burns. I wanted to ignore it at first, but it just becomes too painful over time.

I decide to channel a tiny bit of energy into my feet, to heat them up.
I can feel a tiny layer of ice melting under my feet, and the pain immediately goes away.

"Try not to melt the whole place down, yes?"
"Haha, no worries."

Thinking about it, Yuya doesn't seem cold at all.
We reach a higher level of the building we're in, which is a lot more lively than it was downstairs.
There are different kind of humanoid creatures walking and flying around.
I spot many fairy type creatures with ice wings.
I'm assuming that they're the natural inhabitants of this place.



We stop at some kind of shop... they're selling ice creams, sweet!
It seems like you can only get a single scoop of ice cream at a time.
Yuya and I both get one.
She's sort of staring at me, waiting for me to eat my ice cream which I find a bit weird.
I decide to do something funny and put the whole thing in my mouth with a single bite.

"What... what are you doing?"

I realize I can't swallow, it's too big.
But I know just what to do, I channel some energy into my mouth, melting the ice cream, and swallow everything at once.
It was still quite a bit colder than I anticipated though.
I get a massive brain freeze, it hurts so much that my vision blacks out for a second.

"Haha, what are you doing? You don't learn, do you?"
"Nope. This is the correct way of eating ice cream, I insist! "

We did something after that, but I cannot recall what it was.

It's getting late and we're both tired.
Fortunately this seems to be an hotel and we get a room for the night.
To my disappointment, the bed is made out of ice as well.
Sure, there are some cloth covers over it, but this is going to be a cold night.
It's probably going to be uncomfortably hard as well.

"I can't promise that I'm not going to melt through this during the night."
"Haha, please don't do that, I don't want to drop into the room below us midnight."
"That would be quite awkward... but insanely hilarious."
"No doubt, I still suggest you keep your firey spells to a minimum."
"Alright alright. "

Sharing a bed doesn't feel uncomfortable anymore.
I remember that it felt really awkward the first few times after I started inducing lucid dreams,
but for some reason it abruptly stopped.
I'm much more confident around Yuya, I like it.

The bed isn't as uncomfortable and as cold as I thought it would be.
Still, I'd prefer it do be warmer.
My vision quickly starts blacking out.
No wonder, it feels like this dream has lasted for hours, there's no way I can keep it up for longer...

I had a long dream which I do not remember anything from, except that I was standing in my backyard. I looked over the crop field hill, then realized I was dreaming and became lucid. I wanted to get over the hill, so I took off and flew like a professional at a high speed and full control. A small moment after I came over the hill I opened my eyes though.
Kinda interesting actually. As I opened my eyes, I saw the dream disappear with the eyelids, as if it was some movie and you saw the person open their eyelids from their own point of view. I'm not sure if it was a false awakening..

I was Skywarp, the Decepticon Seeker in War For Cybertron and Megatron had ordered me to defend somehting against the Autobots. I accessed a turret and then was changed into a Decepticon Brute when I ripped out the turret. I started shooting Autobots and they fled.



I was in my home and one of my friends from college was there. He said that I would never geta girlfriend and that all my friends were "taking out bets on me not to get one".

I was watching TV I think it was 106 & Park (even though I stopped watching it) there was a rapper named Roxxy and he was topless and had tattoos. He looked like The Game.



I was rolling through the channels and went to "400" which is Sky Sports. Although it normally would've displayed red it still went to the channel. The strange thing is that some rock band was playing when it was supposed to be some sport being played.

Side Notes
I'm pretty sure it was all one dream as it happened one straight after the other.

[COLOR="red"]Lucid[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]Dream[/COLOR]
[COLOR="silver"]Thoughts[/COLOR]
[COLOR="lightblue"]Hypnagogic[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]This morning I used the timer method and even though I didn't used it correctly my motvation to use it , or something, made me lucid anyway. It's not that odd because the timer makes me have about 12 WBTB attempt and each time I fall asleep, the chance to lucid dream is increased, because I am more aware. And this time I could really explore the dream and it's environment. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="red"]I realised that I was dreaming and I walked out of my house, it was night. I started to think about what it ment to be lucid, and I realised that nothing can harm me. So I thought let's try getting killed by a car, and when I though about that a fear overwhelmed me, and I lost my lucidity...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]The timer woke me up, well so I thought.. I were in my room and I hear an unpleasant buzzing sound. There was bees in my room! They were really big and I ran out of my room. I watched the bees as they ate honey which for some reason was all over my room. In real life I have an electric flyswatter, but in this dream it was gigantic. It was laying in my room on the floor and one of the bees sat on it and it turned on and I watched the be get electrified to death.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]Then I had a weird dream about me being Borat and I saw a hot chick on the airport, and she wasn't wearing anything to cover her, ehrm upper part. So I said "Very nice how much" haha. Weird but funny dream.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="red"]Then I woke up in my dream bed and there was a really hot chick laying next to me and yeah.. I got lucid :P I can't blame me she was way out of my league, as all girls seems to be in my dreams. Anyway I went out of my house (I resisted the distraction!) and I remembered that I had been lucid before, and I started to reflect over the fact that it's allways night in my lucid dreams. I remembered that I had once thought of in real life, how the pavement will look in my dreams, will it look real or like a bad texture? It looked real, very real and detailed.
I walked around my neighborhood and I saw that my busline took a weird path, it was not on the road but on a cycle path. I didn't consciously stabilised this dream, but by observing the pavement and realising how odd the bus was I guess it made me more anchored to the dream.
I wanted to see a grocerystore that I often go to, but this time in the dream. It's a small store, but in this dream it was enormous! I went in there and saw that it looked nothing like it. I watched a hot girl from behind and I told myself that I am not going to get distracted by her, "it's my dream tricking me" I thought. I then saw her face, and it was not what I expected, I immediatelly looked away. The grocerystore changed into a video store and I wanted to summon a person.
In my previous lucid dreams when I have tried to summon a person it was very easy, because all I needed to do was to think of that person, because the dream was just like a vivid thought. This time however, it felt like reality, if you want to know the feeling, I will try to describe how I felt. It felt exactly like reality although I wasn't as aware as I am in reality it felt like reality, but I am tired all the time, not exhausted, but the feeling you have after you have woke up.
So it felt like summoning a person in reality, which is impossible, Neo could free his mind in the Matrix I couldn't..
I asked a person behind the disk where I could find that person, and she said "Oh the How I met your mother series is in the back". "Weird that wasn't what I asked" I thought. I then saw that that person's face started to morph like a bubble, I got surprised, but then I looked away and when I looked back it looked normal again.
I went out of this store and when I got out I was far away from home, I was on the streets of New York.
I did a flying attempt, and I managed to levitate, but not fly with control, by doing this I associated it as a dream again, and I lost my lucidity, but I continued dreaming that I was lucid.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]I said to myself "this is my dream, I control it!" I then flexed every muscle in anger and screamed "Someday you will all bow to me and I will be your God!". Some people started to approach me and said, we will obey you if you can stop our leader. Who is your leader? I asked. Who? What time are you from? they said surprised.
Then they told me that I was supposed to get up from a special ladder while they distracted guards.
While I was climbing that ladder a train approached me and it was going to drive in to me if I didn't hurried up.
I managed to climb up and on the top there was some weird creatures, I can't explain how they looked like, but one of them kicked me in the head and I fell and I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I think I am going to continue using the timer, because if I can get experiences like these every morning, I will soon learn how to stay and to start believe so I can control the dream.[/COLOR]

I had several dreams last night, one of them lucid:

In my first dream, I’m in a field with some friends of mine. I look up into the sky and see some kind of small aircraft approaching. I watch it fly overhead; I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s small but it has all these gadgets attached to it, so I conclude that it must be some sort of drone aircraft. Then I notice a few more in the sky; they seem to be circling. Suddenly, one of them bursts into a bunch of small pieces and I realize that the small pieces are dropping down like small missiles and exploding when they hit the ground. People on the ground are in a panic and running for cover. As one of the small drone planes bursts directly over my head, my friends and I jump into this vehicle (truck?) for cover. But looking up, I see that the small missiles are dropping straight down on us and I know that if they hit the truck, it will explode. So I tell my friends we have to run. We leave the cover of the truck and run towards an area of ground where the missiles have already hit because I know we’ll be safe there. We end up at the top of this 3 story house and have to descend down to ground level to get away.

In my next dream, I’m in the lobby of a big building. I take notice of how detailed my surroundings are and realize that this must be a lucid dream. I do a RC by holding my nose and find that I can breathe through it. I also look at my hands and find them a little deformed. I notice that the carpeting is kind of rough, like sandpaper, so I ask that the floor be softer and smoother. Instantly, the carpet becomes soft and smooth. So I start exploring and find that I’m in some sort of office building of a company that makes gag gifts. I walk around, marveling at the detail and realism of everything, sometimes even back tracking to look at certain things again. This goes on for what seems like about ten minutes. I even check my hands again to see if I’m still lucid and they once again appear deformed. I end up on what looks like a loading dock and tell the dream I need to find a toilet, since I need to go to the bathroom. Looking around, I see that there is a toilet on the floor but it’s not hooked up. So I ask one of the dream figures what they do when they have to go to the bathroom. The DF, a woman, replies, “We just go on the floor”, and points to a small puddle on the concrete floor. I find this surprising and funny, and wake up.

I’m pleased that I had a lucid dream (my third) but disappointed that I really didn't accomplish anything other than walking around. I need to remember to try to focus and tell the dream more what I want (dream tasks). I haven't even flown in a dream yet.
