    1. After dreaming about someone they become extremely attractive out of nowhere?!

      by , 05-03-2011 at 06:29 PM
      Okay, so this is kinda strange.

      I dreamt once about walking and holding hands with a boy. No big deal. He was just an acquaintance in my life, someone I saw in the hallway or came up in conversation. However, after that one dream of holding hands, I woke up to being attracted to a person I once thought was never possible. Well, I ended up perusing that boy and we were together for 2 years. If I didn't have that dream I'm not sure that would have happened...

      and it's not just him! Once in a while a random acquaintance will come strutting into a dream and just the sheer fact of them being there creates a whole different concept of who they are in reality.

      Any one had anything similar?

    2. Away

      by , 05-02-2011 at 05:17 PM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      Been away for some time now. Already have 4 notebooks full of dreams on the shelf, but no time to type and post them.
      Maybe one day when my life is calmer (when will that be?) I'll find the time to do it...
      Due to life circumstances, I don't do so much mentalization about what I want to do once I'm asleep. Instead I try to keep a stable awareness throughout the day. This resulted in an increased awareness that I'm dreaming to maybe 60% of my dream time, but the determination to accomplish lucid tasks decreased by maybe 90%, so I have just been enjoying the dreams aware without much interferring on their course.
      Anyway, one of this latest nights I summoned my DG to ask her/him (depends on the occasion) about what I should do, and he told me to stop obsessing about goals and objectives and just merge completely with the experience and savor it 100%. So that's what I've been doing and there's not much to talk about it anyway.

    3. Let me wash up in the TIDE

      by , 04-30-2011 at 09:29 PM
      So, been a little distracted lately and haven't been focused on my dreams. I've been wanting to type up a very memorable dream I had about a year ago, so here it is.

      I was in the ocean swimming towards land with a bunch of killer whales and dolphins. I was sort of riding with one of the whales but on his belly-side. I don't remember hanging on to him but it was kind of like he had his own gravity (not a fat joke, mr. whale guide.) Anyway, he and all the rest of the animals were splashing in and out of the water working towards land. He kept getting higher and higher out of the water and coming down even harder each time, sinking. I can recall being in the water looking to my right to see a line of dolphins doing the same thing. And when we were in the air I could see a city getting closer and closer. So I lost the whale once, he landed in the water and I sunk away from him and got scared thinking there were going to be sharks. Sure enough, a massive hammerhead appeared but he wasn't attacking me, he was leading me back to the whale. And the whale had waited for me. Then we continued on. What I felt in the dream, trying to figure out why they were doing this, I noticed the waves that they were making were going to wipe out the city, and that THAT was their intention.

      When I woke up I started thinking about the song Aenima by Tool. Anyways, this was a non-lucid, but amazing.
    4. Lucid Dream #37

      by , 04-30-2011 at 06:06 PM (Warbenifit156's Lucid Dreaming Adventures)
      Lucidity: 7/10
      Vividness: 8/10
      Length: ~7 Min.

      Me and some guy were standing on a sidewalk. We were both armed with rifles. There was a gate near us so we walked up to it. Then started shooting at people that were next to the gate. There was a gun that he had that let him create barriers so I grabbed it from him and covered him. Some guy popped out just like I expected one would. So I shot the barrier directly at him and he was cut in two. But then someone else jumped out when I wasn't so tense. Going after my partner which easily took that guy down. I gave my partner a weapon of mine and grabbed another. When we were both ready to move on we proceeded through the gate. There was a large open field with some trees here and there. There were many ninjas there such as Sakura who was riding some sort of floating thing upside down. They were heading toward a very large park. So I concentrated my chakra to my feet and ran across water just to try it out. Then I applied more chakra to my feet and flew very high. I could see everything from up there. The park was a battlefield. There was a huge explosion every once and a while. I swooped around and landed near the action. I killed an enemy troop and wielded his weapon. It was a fully automatic rifle. I ran in a hurry across water and wasn't doing as good as last time because I wasn't concentrating on keeping myself up. I made it into the building and started to shoot people left and right. After that battle I wasn't lucid anymore.
    5. Driving and eating

      by , 04-30-2011 at 02:33 PM

I partially remember the husband of this house hold all pissed off that i was there so either i got to sleep with his wife or idk cuz i don't remember. Also as i was driving throw there lawn i remember some chick that i knew but i cant seem to make the face out.
    6. The 4th dimension, Slight disorientation, Trance

      , 04-30-2011 at 02:57 AM (Hyu's Adventures)
      I took a one week break from working on projects, and it did a lot of good to my dream recall.
      Unfortunately I'm back to working now, which means no more WBTB/WILDs.
      My dream recall has already suffered notably from this.
      It's quite unfortunate, I felt like I was finally getting the hang of WILDing.


      The 4th Dimension

      I'm at uni, walking through the corridors towards my classroom.
      For some reason I end up in what seems to be some sort of physics laboratory.
      I question whether this is where I belong.
      I remember that I am actually majoring in CS and not physics, and that this is definitely not a room I've been in before.
      But as the teacher enters the room I decide to ignore this for some reason, and just go with it.

      I don't know what the course is about, but I recognize elements from quantum physics.
      Then the teacher talks about the fourth dimension (spacial dimension, not time).
      I know a few things about that, so I'm not too surprised when she shows us a hologram of a tesseract.
      But then she says she will materialize it. How on earth is she gonna do that?

      The teacher approaches me and hands me.... well... a tesseract... with transparent walls.
      I assume that it is some sort of model with joints that allows it to be moved similar to a rotation in the 4th dimension.
      But then I remember that this cannot work, it is physically impossible.
      As I touch the object, I realize that it is indeed solid. There are no joints, and all surfaces on it are perfectly solid.
      But I can rotate it the same way I would be able to rotate a 4 dimensional object... at least in theory:



      This fucks with my mind quite a bit.

      But then I understand that I am indeed dreaming, and don't understand why I didn't notice this any sooner.
      For some reason I still feel the need to figure out how this works though.
      How can I even interact with this? The dimensions do not match.
      But then I realize that I am somehow trapped in 4 dimensional space.
      Every object in the class room is 4 dimensional.
      My chair can no longer hold my body and I somehow fall through it.
      As I look up and see everything appear normal yet consisting of impossible shapes, my head starts to hurt and I wake up.




      Slight disorientation

      I'm home, hanging upside down from the lusters.
      A friend of mine enters the house.

      "What the fuck are you doing up there?"

      I look down... why the fuck am I hanging from the lusters?
      Or maybe I am not really hanging from the ceiling?

      "You mean down here. Why are you standing upside down over there?"
      "What? I am standing on the floor!"
      "Yes, and I'm hanging from the ceiling. What's your point?"
      "Dude..."
      "The ceiling is down, and the floor is up!"
      "No, it isn't."
      "Yes it is!"
      "Why?"
      "Because I say so."

      Gravity inverts and he falls down onto the ceiling.

      "What the fuck?"
      "Told you so."
      "I guess you were right."



      Trance

      I am sitting with a girl my age in front of a campfire.
      We have setup a tent over here, and it seems we are in the middle of the desert.
      But I can't tell for sure, it's pretty dark already.

      I realize the girl isn't human.
      Her hair is mixed with leaves... they are growing out of her head, just like normal hair.
      When I look into her eyes I can also clearly feel that she is not human.
      However she does look human, except for her hair.
      But I don't mind, I feel like this is the way it is supposed to be.
      I remember we both came here in order to get into some sort of trance with the goal to be enlightened.

      Wait a second... what the....?

      Oh! I'm dreaming!
      She looks at me, as if she just realized something.
      But she doesn't say anything, and hands me what appears to be a native american peace pipe.
      She smiles:

      "You need to smoke it."

      For some reason I feel like something special will happen if I smoke it.
      After all the goal was to get into trance right?
      I take a deep breath of smoke, and I instantly feel it in my head.
      I get extremely lightheaded, and have trouble not falling over, even though I'm sitting.

      "Good!"

      She smokes the pipe herself.
      Holy shit, what is going on, I feel like I'm falling through the chair, into the sand below it.
      I loose control over my body, and start to hallucinate quite vividly.
      At first it's similar to HI during SP, but then it gets much stronger.
      I see bright and vivid colors everywhere, intermixing with the landscape.
      I see plants growing out of the sand at an insanely fast rate.
      They start to blossom and fill the air with glowing pollen.
      The girl starts growing feathers over her body and flies away.
    7. Another vampire turn psycho killer.

      , 04-30-2011 at 12:26 AM (Desperation Happiness)
      At first "I" wasn't even in the dream, or if I was, I was a girl and a vampire made me his puppet using a piece of mirror. He made me kill someone then we were friends and I was me again. He turned into a psycho killer teenager and I got in too deep with him, even though I disagreed with him I couldn't do anything about it or he'd kill me. There was definitely some homosexual vibes coming from his direction that made me uncomfortable too.

      There was a movie screening we were going to go to. I told someone about him on the way in, but I don't know if I saved her because he found out via her cell phone. I raced to tell security in the theater but for some reason I was carrying a puppy. They took it then arrested someone else for something else and dismissed my warnings.

      Sitting in the theater now it took awhile to find him, he was disguised in the crowd but I did. It was like this was a second play-through of a game, so I thought I knew what would happen. Then the vampire and girl thing was on the screen, then someone killing lots of attackers with various weapons (like a video game) all the while I was waiting for him to slit my throat, but I knew he was excited about the violence on the screen. I had a pair of scissors to defend myself. The movies tarted to become the focus of the dream then I woke up.

      Also when I woke up in the middle of the night before this dream, the picture that has been on my wall of killer whales underwater looked to me like a scary clown face.

      Earlier that day I watched a short amateur movie about The Joker and Harlequin, he convinced her to kill someone in a room, it was all very like the dream.

    8. Goals

      by , 04-29-2011 at 07:10 PM (Curiouser and Curiouser)
      I have a real life dream journal I've been keeping, so at some point I'll get around to typing it all up online. For my first entry though, I just want to state some goals:

      [ ] Sharpen my lucid dream (be VERY present)
      [ ] Find my mind's art gallery
      [ ] Walk through a door into a friend's dream (I don't reeeally believe in shared dreaming, but it would still be fun to fake it)
      [ ] Meet Alan Rickman
      [ ] Meet my subconscious
      [ ] Dream in French

      Wish me luck!

    9. Awake Brainstorming: Lucid Dreaming Goals

      by , 04-29-2011 at 01:25 PM
      From 4/22/11

      • Ask what I can or should do for my insomnia / odd sleeping schedules - so that I can have more of an option to join in events that typically occur during the day on a regular basis.
      • Create a computer program; come up with ideas for computer programs
      • Explore my waking life meditative dream house and characters (I had a significant series of meditations that stemmed from a dream years ago. It was part of the work I was doing with a Jungian counselor.)
      • Write jokes or ask dream characters for jokes (develop more enjoyment and free playful thinking)
      • Ask about career goals and how to bring them about
    10. Video Game; Killer Car; At old GF house

      by , 04-29-2011 at 01:13 PM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      I have been playing zombie games with my boy.

      Last night I dreamed I was playing a game where you had to shoot these zombies,
      but they looked more like slugs that stand up, which is an idea that a friend of mine
      had in waking life. The interesting thing about the game was that there were clouds
      that you had to blow on or they would form a dragon.

      It was a cheap looking dragon, but I remember at one point, after we had blown the
      clouds apart, they started coming back together, and watching them start to form a
      dragon was really neat.

      --

      I was outside somewhere and it was night time. A limousine pulled up by a curb under
      a tree where it was even darker. It was an old limousine. The paint had lost all its luster,
      and it didn't look like any old limo I've ever seen. It had a grill like a truck on a
      tractor-trailer. It was a giant square grill.

      Then, the grill opened like a mouth. It was a devil car. The grill opened to reveal another grill
      behind it, on which it said something about sex. Super evil. Then the car started to talk with
      the inner grill moving up and down so it was more like a mouth. It told some guy that he had
      to kill some people or the car was going to kill him.

      This guy went into a room where there were a bunch of servers that held information on
      people around the world. He started pulling some kind of cards or mother-boards out from these
      shelves of servers and destroyed them all. Somehow this translated into killing hundreds of
      thousands of people around the world.

      Then I saw his boss and some other guy who didn't even seem to care. I thought that they
      didn't care because the damage was done and there was nothing they could do about it.

      Dream skip:

      I'm in a room that is like a museum. I see a ceramic pot that I really like, and it is teetering on
      edge because someone placed it incorrectly. I was upset and tried to fix it, but only succeeded
      in knocking it over. It fell about 7 feet to the floor and bounced a couple times only barely
      nicking it.

      (This was a replay of when I was 15 in waking life. I was changing a light-bulb at
      McDonalds and it dropped from waist high. It landed perfectly on the top of the bulb--the glass part,
      and bounced back up. I had no idea it would bounce, so I didn't have the presence of mind
      to catch it, though if I had bent down a little, I could have caught it. Instead, it fell back down
      and shattered.)

      Anyway, dream skip and I'm in bed with a stranger. This isn't strange somehow as in my dream
      this happens a lot. I always snuggle with my partner, but it is not sexual. It is just being close
      at night. I kiss her on the forehead and she tells me she doesn't want me to kiss her, so I apologize
      and roll over. Her body was still touching me, so I try to scoot over. I tell her that I am at the edge
      and can't move over anymore.

      --

      I'm at my first girlfriends house and she is telling me something. Her dress comes up a little and
      she exposes herself a little. I look at her in the eye, but enjoy her accidentally flashing me.
    11. Lucid Dream #36

      by , 04-29-2011 at 11:01 AM (Warbenifit156's Lucid Dreaming Adventures)
      Lucidity: 8/10
      Vividness: 9/10
      Length: ~20 Min.

      I became lucid and started to talk to this girl, I wanted to have sex with her, but she said "no." She said that she was also lucid. I was very excited. Then, after that. I was holding a camera, walking around listening to other people's conversations. Then all of a sudden I was in a lab where they use a divice that makes you lucid dream. For some reason, some guy was upset that I was there. But let me proceed with the lucid dreaming thing anyways. Then I was walking in a large room with Zach. While we were I was thinking about my body for some reason while Zach was looking a bushes. Then I was vs. some guy, I believe it was Saskae from Naruto. I was slower than him, he was gaining speed each corner. I was suprised. Then I found out that I was in someone else's dream. Then I was trying to send a post card or something to myself. I didn't understand why. But some people wanted my flash drive for some reason. Then I was in a large building and someone grabbed my flash drive from me and started tearing it up. It contained information of lucid dreaming. Then I had the flash drive again for some reason and was blocking a door from somebody. Someone set up a timer for me so I would wake up. It said 17:03 and counting. I really wanted to wake up for some reason. I had a false awakening. I thought I was on my computer and was distributing the data from the flash drive onto the computer. I asked my dad if they could stop it and he said "no." It was about 70GB or more. But it worked, I could view pictures and videos as I'd like. But then I was dreaming again and desired some pussy. And for some reason I couldn't find a girl to fuck. Then I woke up. Trying to DEILD but I believe failed.
    12. Lucidity

      by , 04-29-2011 at 06:24 AM
      I am a lucid dreamer.

      My dreams are mostly lucid, and the ones where I don't feel I am dreaming are just as vivid and realistic. I always feel an underlying tone of control in my dreams.

      (My blog is up, where I'll be posting just the best-of-the-best of my dream journal entries, from over the years. Follow along for epic-ness!

      http://dreamwalkerchronicles.blogspot.com/

      I'm also about ready to start getting caught up here. My recall is starting to level out, and I've been waking up early (involuntarily) and doing WBTB. not-counting last night, I've had a lucid dream a night, for the past 3 nights. So I'm starting to get back on the ball. More dreams to come, soon!)

    14. Awake Meditation: Baby Angry!

      by , 04-28-2011 at 07:26 AM
      From 4/22/11

      While listening to 60 minutes delta binaural audio
      Body kept jerking, releasing energy and/or resisting releasing
      Discomfort, feel sick (am getting sick, a cold I think…yep, I can confirm this days later)
      The pads of my feet hurt
      Want to turn my head and sleep
      Visuals coming and going


      Then I do FFEDCIDA practice (Face, Feel, Expand, Dissipate, Coalesce, Integrate, Decide, Take Action)
      (I want to add "simultaneous opposites combining"; it feels like it belongs around expanding, dissipating, and/or coalescing)

      Muddy orange color
      In large geometric pattern in my stomach
      Like a cube but more complex, diagonal layer
      Unfolding, shifting, almost clunking but that’s not the right word

      Thought of being sick as a baby, when I was so sick it scared my mom
      Out of control, discomfort, nothing to do, angry at being controlled
      Angry and helpless and fucking pissed

      Anger dissipating – fast, whirlwinds out
      Into nothing, blackness?
      It feels like the blackness is almost closing in on it, eating it

      Fear…of that blackness, I’m somewhat ashamed to admit
      Opulent white swirling energy I used to use when I did massage and subtle energy work to surround myself reaches up and twines with the orange
      It feels right
      Twining, like oil and water, such different energies. The orange static, the white multidimensionally hued, shifting around, how will they come together? I watch.
      What is that white energy? Gratitude, it seems.
      Deep gratitude like in the last lucid dream.
      It is coming together
      This lasts a while

      The energy straightens into brown, tree-like texture
      Logs almost
      But hollow
      One settles across the back of my body at my shoulders, holding them strong
      Two more down my torso’s sides
      Strength
      Body feels healthier
      Whole body jerks, back arches
      One has settled in my spine, up my neck?

      Feeling grounded
      After getting up, I recalled that when I had used that white swirly energy as a protection when I did massage and energy work, I also put a shell up around it that looked like the texture and color of those logs. I think I got some backbone back.

      Apparently anger and gratitude can be a powerful mixture. Mixture isn’t quite the right word, it is as if they partially combust and transform when mixed to make something new. I’d say alchemy but that just sounds too hooey.

      not that this whole thing wouldn't to most people.
    15. Complex Computer Screen Warning

      by , 04-28-2011 at 05:18 AM
      WAKING LIFE DREAMING LUCID
      BOLD IF IT FEELS PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT


      From 4/22/11

      Computer screen
      Trying to do something important
      Black screen with white lettering popped up. A warning. A long, deep warning.


      I’m not sure if I felt very concerned about the warning, it may have seemed superficial emotionally. I’ve waited too many days to look back on it though, to really remember.
