The Path of Iapetos

[COLOR="royalblue"]Non-Aware (Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="blue"]Partially Aware (Lucid Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="navy"]Fully Aware and Vivid (Astral Projection(OOBE)[/COLOR]

This night I experienced many new sensations that I feel before I start dreaming. I heard new sounds, finally realized how my hypnagogic imagery looked like, vibrations sensations and also learned how I feel right before I start dreaming.
If you have read my previous dream entries you will see that my biological clock might be a little messed up.
So I did fall asleep around 21:30 and woke up 22.00, but then I went up drank a Mountain Dew and watched some random tv show (I think it was So you think you can dance?). Then I brushed my teeth and went back to bed, and I tried to fall asleep in a sitting position. My room was very warm so I started the fan... So I were in bed about 23:52

I did the Monroe Focus 10 technique as I usually do and then I started daydreaming a bit. I got some quick flashes of a dream. I can do that right now if I just relax, so it's nothing special, although it is very entertaining. ;)
What I mean with "dream flashes" is that a daydream suddenly feels real for just a split second, it's hard to explain.
It doesn't feel like a fully vivid lucid dream, but it feels like your whole awareness is in the daydream for just one millisecond. Your not aware of your physical body and surrounding when this happens, of course you are when it stops.
When I returned to physical awareness I saw hypnagogic imagery, although I thought it would be more intense, but I saw a swirling black shadow behind my eyelids, slightly blue colored.
Then those dream flashes kept happening, and I was also aware of a low tone, almost like the tinnitus tone but just a little lower pitch. Then as I daydreamed I started to see more and more dream flashes and I remember seeing red, green and blue cables getting stretched and when I got back again to physical awareness I heard that my fan had stopped and that the tone had changed to a much deeper sound. Almost like those binaural beats I used to listen to years ago.

I didn't felt like I was going to be able to fall asleep in this sitting position so I put the pillows down and tried to fall asleep in a side position. I started daydreaming again. [COLOR="royalblue"]This time I was in some parking lot outside some arena. I suddenly realized that the daydream was too vivid to be called a daydream![/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]I admired the vivid environment and the cars driving by me. I thought to myself "Finally! Ok, should I seek out Iapetos or should I do this by myself?". I decided to explore the dream by myself. I walked inside a house that turned out to be a hotel.
But as I walked I noticed that I wasn't able to feel the ground! It was entertaining at first, but a little uncomfortable.
I thought to myself "Hmmm why am I walking, I don't need to walk in this place.". I started to float like a ghost and got super excited. It was not dark, but not too bright in there either... So I asked the dream to become more bright and it did. :shadewink: Then I wondered what would happen if I floated under the ground. Bad idea... :(
Everything turned black and I eventually lose my lucidity. [/COLOR] [COLOR="royalblue"]I went upstairs (not lucid anymore) and I looked for some hotel room to get to sleep in. Although all the rooms were occupied, then I met some guy that called himself Summersomner. And for some reason I told him and epic matrix line "I need guns, lots of guns".
He looked weird at me and then said "Follow me. It's in your room". He showed me into a big luxury room and on my bed was rifles made of wood although they seemed to work as weapons. I examined the textures of the sniper rifle and then took a nap.

The dream changed and I no longer remembered that I had a room in the hotel, so I started looking for a room again. I found one room and there were two girls sleeping in one bed, so I asked them If I could sleep with them, without being aware of how dumb that questioned sounded. One of the girls, kind of cute, said "Sure, do you got a friend or do you want a threesome?" and then she giggled. There I realized what I had actually asked :roll:
She said that she's not very experienced in role play and sudden sex partners, and I said "Don't worry, me too...".
Then I stroke her leg and I said "Now you moan" and smiled. :D We jokingly played, until her friend started screaming very loud, well not because of me, but because something grey weird thing ran out of her nose. Another girl, some guest of the hotel ran in there and asked "What the h*ll is your problem?!". and the other girl said "I don't know but your not the one experiencing this so shut up!"[/COLOR]

I woke up 01:45 and was a little creeped out by that last dream :shock:
I turned the light on and wrote down the dream and then fell back to sleep again.

[COLOR="royalblue"]I was on some green hills with my friends when suddenly my friend Andriano run towards me and start screaming "You have to stop your application to the university! I have found the perfect job for you!". And I said "Hold your horses I really like what I have got, so what is the other job you think is better for me?" He said something weird like Natureologstics.

Then I had some dreams that I wrote down the fragments of in hope of remembering what it all meant later, but unfortunately I'm not... :roll: Anyway the fragments were: Superpowers fading, fight, Elevator girlfriend, Sandwich. [/COLOR]

Then I woke up 04:41 and I don't remember more dreams later from this morning.

According to Don Juan the First gate is crossed when one is able to induce a state of darkness and a feeling of increased weight while falling asleep, but I am not sure if really crossed it since I didn't looked at my hands nor glanced at objects.

I have learned much from this night. If I can recognize those tones again while falling asleep and the dream flashes, I might be able to stay aware and induce a vivid daydream again that I can stay in until it becomes vivid enough to explore.

I can actually use the new things I have learned to my advantage. Relax until I can feel those dream flashes again, and then use the inner tones as a guiding sound to keep track of where I am. We'll see tonight! ;)
