The Nightly Dreamer

Date: 11/22/15

Report: I used SSILD. I fell asleep at 11:00(ish). Woke up by alarm at 4:30, thus making it 5 1/2 hour wbtb time.

Dreams:

1) Women, the solution(and source) of all life's problems; 10 min(?); V8C5R7E0W4

Synopsis: The first real lucid I've had in a dry spell that begun in June. Although i had limited control, It was the longest and most vivid dream I've had in while.

Dream: I wake up in the middle of the night. My Mom is standing at the foot of my bed, telling me she needs some help with some boxes. I'm slightly weird-ed out by the fact she brought this up in the middle of the night, but decide to just get it over with. I'm starting to doubt that this is real, so i glance at my clock, look away, then glance back. The time's changed. Realizing that i'm dreaming, I quickly stabilize by running out, reminding myself i'm dreaming, and start shouting "Night to day, Night to day, ..." The sky slowly get's brighter. I decide to summon a talking cat, so I shout "Show me the cat!". My actual cat appears, which is not the kind of cat i was hoping for. I look around me, and realize how real everything is. It's so detailed. I try, but fail, to fly. I decide I want to jump off a skyscraper to see what it feels like, so I successfully teleport to New York. Unfortunately, I'm in a subway station. I stabilize again, then try teleporting to the top of a building. Everything goes black. I am, however, able to remake the image of the subway. I give up the skyscraper idea, and remember the night's goal: To go to Riven. I try teleporting again, but arrive back in my room. I sit down at my desk, and realize how cool it is that the time changes each time I look at the clock. I ask once again for the cat, but I look outside to find my IRL cat sitting on a dead tree in the middle of the road. I think, "Well, asking for a cat isn't going to work" I instead ask for my dream guide. Silence. Then I decide to go outside, but as I pass through the living room, my mom says: "Now you're talking to yourself." I ignore her and head out the door, to see Bertha and Micaela(IRL spanish class classmates) coming down the stairs. I decide to try and bang Micaela (she's really hot IRL). The excitement, however, destabilizes the dream and wakes me up.

Results: In summary, SSILD has been working spectacularly to break my dryspell, and has resulted in the some of the most vivid dreams I have ever experienced. It is clear, however, that I need to work on my dream control, as it has deteriorated in the several months since my last real lucid(The creation of Trenzalore). I hope that SSILD continues to work for me.

Dream signs: None that I recognize.

I am running through an office building hallway. I feel anxious, as if i'm trying to escape from something. I can feel a presence behind me, chasing me. Every time i turn around, it vanishes, only to reappear behind me. I know that if it catches me, it will kill me. As I keep running, i see a door marked EXIT. I quickly open it, as i feel that whatever is chasing me only has power on this office floor. I go through the exit, only to find myself back in the center of the office floor, still being chased by the creature. I continue to run, but i happen to glance at a digital clock on the wall. I stop when i realize that it makes no goddamn sense. Its seconds count seems all wrong, and the actual display seems to be malfunctioning. I plug my nose and try breathing. It works. I stabilize the dream and my lucidity, then turn around to face the creature. It is a strange, six-legged thing. It's disgusting. I ask it what it means. I t tries to attack me. I catch by the throat mid-jump, and yell in its face: "Don't you dare attack me! I created you! I could end you this instant(i start emitting fire from my hand, it writhes in pain)! Now answer my question, what do you mean?!" It telepathically responds that it will never help the "Creator". It says to me that "dark, dark things are coming. There will be great war between you and the parts of your mind you chose to forget. And I hope I will have the pleasure of ending you." I ask how it's possible for it to end me. It answers: "Don't you know, Maker? Your subconscious can override your control at any moment. If we take over, if we win the war, we can torture you until you wake up. And who knows? maybe we might be able to take control of your mind. I will enjoy seeing you suffer." In a flash of anger, i incinerate it. I teleport, trying to forget what the creature said. However, i have no destination in mind. I end up in a green plain with a single tree, with fast-moving clouds in the distance(exactly like my profile pic). Even though i've been lucid dreaming for 4 years, it still amazes me, the capabilities of the subconscious mind. The grass under my feet feels completely real, the colors are so much more vibrant in real life, and i can see every leaf on the tree from a distance of several hundred feet. I feel the sun of my skin, the smell of grass on the air, and i see every detail of the clouds in the sky. It still amazes me, how real it all feels. I teleport to a beach. The sun is setting. It is the most beautiful sunset i have ever seen. An amazing mix of orange, yellow, red, and pink. The clouds in the sky reflect and scatter the colors, and i can see crepuscular rays around them. It is so magnificently beautiful. I wake up.
