    1. Plenty of Kissing

      by , 03-25-2018 at 08:37 PM (Slash's Mind Cave)
      I was in a bar with some friends. I turned around and saw a beautiful young woman with blonde hair, sitting at a table about 5 feet away and she was looking at me. I locked eyes with her.
      I could tell she wanted me to come and talk to her (which is weird because in waking life, I am terrible at recognizing flirtations) so I walked up to her.
      She looked at me all seductive like, and said, "So... wanna get out of here and..."
      I scanned my mind for the best way to say "yes", but nothing came to mind. Instead, I softly touched her leg which was dressed in black mesh tights. She smiled, so I knew I hadn't stepped out of line.
      I continued to stroke her leg and I leaned in for a kiss. We kissed. It was so good.


      I woke up. I really wanted to jump back into the dream, perhaps with DEILD, especially since I was conscious enough that I hadn't moved or opened my eyes.
      But I wanted to test out my "WBTB Lucid Dream Reminder Track" that I created, which has my own voice reminding me "this is a dream" over and over. So I picked up my phone, switched on the unlisted YouTube video on my phone, and laid back down.
      It took me a while to get back to sleep, but I remained still because I knew I would fall back asleep.

      Next thing I know, I'm driving my old, first car (black Ford Ka, little dinky thing). I had some of my old school friends (Craig, Alan and Ben) in the car with me.
      We drove into this big car park for what looked like some sort of shopping center.
      However it was not a shopping center. It was a big building full of games.
      We chose a time to meet back at the car, then we went in and we were each given a circular badge (I think with our names on them).

      The first game I remember playing was half indoors and half outdoors. We were running round some sort of cool obstacle course. There was more details to the game but I can't remember.

      The next thing I remember is finding an indoor game, held in what seemed a bit like a Gym hall from school. I stood and watched while people were split into teams, each team with a different colour vest. And it seemed the game had something to do with pushing trolleys about.

      I decided I wanted to give it a go, so I walked in and the yellow team claimed me. I got given a yellow vest and was pointed towards the yellow team.
      I was trying to speak, but it felt like I was clenching my jaw so tightly that I couldn't speak. This was definitely REM ationia shining through.
      I grabbed a trolley, and I met a young woman with blonde hair in my team (but not the same girl from the previous dream).
      I played the game, but I cannot remember how it went.

      Next thing I remember is being back in the main bit of the huge building, again it felt like a shopping center.
      I met the blonde girl again. I can't remember how it happened, but we ended up kissing. Again, so good.
      Then we ended up split apart, but we were still talking, through our badges which had a microphone and speaker in them.
      We met again a few times, each time we would start kissing, and each time it was amazing.

      The way we were talking, it felt like we were going to end up in a relationship.

      Next thing I remember is I had two badges, and I stuck them on my ears. In one badge, I was talking to the girl. In the other badge, I was talking to a school friend so I wouldn't forget that I have people to give a ride home.

      Next thing I remember is being inside the building, near the front entrance, and I went into a section which seemed like a hospital. I got lost trying to get back out, and the doctors and nurses were complaining about my presence. Eventually I found my way out.

      Then I remember getting a slush puppy and meeting the blonde girl again. We kissed some more. Then split up again.
      I was pretty excited that I had met a girl. But I kept reminding myself that I've got friends here and they need a lift home soon.

      I went outside to see if anyone was at the car yet. As soon as I walked outside I saw two people from my school (but not the ones who came with me). In real life, these two have been an item since high school and they are still together and doing well. So what I saw really surprised me. They were shouting and balling at each other.

      I walked past them, feeling quite awkward, and I saw other people from school watching them.

      I don't remember what happened next, the next thing I remember is finding out that the girl I had been kissing, is not going to have a relationship with me.
      I remember walking out of the center with my friends, and beside me was Bernadette from Big Bang Theory (except she was my age, it felt like she was an old school friend).
      Bernadette said, "Sorry it didn't work out..."
      I replied, "Ach it's fine. I've dropped the whole idea of getting a girlfriend so things like this don't hurt me anymore."

      Then I remember me and my friends, and a whole bunch of other people, running out of the building and down the side of the car park. It felt like Mario Kart, it was so chaotic.
      We reached this big mound of grass, like a small hill. We ran up the mound and flew off it, as if we just jumped a ramp in a car. It was really fun, flying through the air, then crashing into the ground and people were toppling on top of each other. Then we got up and started running back the way and continued the "race".


      And I think that is the point I woke up.
      My phone has this stupid Whatsapp reminder that pops up and it causes YouTube to stop playing before my voice even kicks in, so I now know why this damn "Reminder Track" hasn't been working.

      I find myself in a room full of DCs and suddenly awareness increases to lucidity. I recall my thoughts from the previous night to try to score more points from the competition. There's a particularly distracting DC in front of me and I weight in the options of going for dream control vs kissing. I decide to go for the latter, explaining to myself I can do dream control a bit later. There are around 8 DCs surrounding us and I begin to feel uncomfortable.

      Not sure what happens, whether a dream end or possibly loss of lucidity. It seems like a little black out but I return to pretty much the same scene, aware again. End of memory. Awake. Back to sleep.

      Another dream episode where I become lucid again, different indoors place, I don't look around too much. Once again a lone DC catches my attention, though this time not as distracting. I have the feeling my memory of the previous dreams is becoming blurred as I didn't write anything down.

      I take time to focus on the DC and save the memory of the previous and current dreams to this moment. I raise my fingers to count three lucid moments for the night.
      The dream ends sometime soon and I do a brief mental review prior to going back to sleep.
    3. Log 1060 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 9

      by , 03-25-2018 at 03:50 PM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Sunday 25 March 2018

      Got the WILD to note. There were fragments before that, but I'd forgotten everything of them.

      Very long moment of insomnia following WBTB attempt, before transitioning to below.

      Dream 1 - Log 1052 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 1

      WILD transition in bed. It felt as if someone was embracing me around the neck, from which I quickly freed myself. I floated up, and tried going out the door, only to get pulled through the floor and into the void. Teleport by spinning and dashing backwards. I turned up in my living room during the dead of night. I called for light, but nothing happened. I then phased through a wall.

      Things warped. I was now pulling myself up from the floor of an unknown home. This environment was likewise dark, save for the corner, which flickered with dull grey light. Thought calling for vividness would fix the visuals, but this too had no immediate effect. I paced around, when the place suddenly became vibrant and clear. This locale seemed to be an old structure built of wood, its large furniture covered in white tarp. Near the door, I spotted a polygonal figure, a young woman with blonde pigtails clad in a Victorian-era red-white plaid dress and bonnet, exiting to bright streets outside. She seemed a bit like an animated life-sized doll, kinda creepy actually. Anyway, I decided to jump through the large window near the door. Instead of phasing, I'd clumsily smashed through the glass, alarming the girl, who slowly backed away. Well, at least this didn't hurt me one bit.

      The streets nearby, in contrast to the house and its denizen, seemed as any contemporary suburbs. There was a patch of grass in the median bar ahead. Looked a good place as any for the comp challenge. I tried summoning a cloth sheet without results. Luckily, I found several of such laid out on a small, grassy lot in front of a nearby tunnel/highway ramp. These were raggedy brown hemp sheets, old and dusty, not to mention adjacent to a collection of trash. Well, not the most flattering place for a picnic, but oh well. I seated myself there. I then stared at my hand, which seemed and felt like wood. In any case, I conjured up a basket in sight. So, I reached inside, but only found a single peanut. Moreover, save for some bitterness, it was completely tasteless.

      I then wandered off through the tunnel. Things warped again. Now, I was sliding down inside the slopes of a narrow passageway made of smooth stone. Got distracted with thoughts on summoning something/someone? Things destabilized two minutes later, and I wake up.

    4. Smart Dawn

      by , 03-25-2018 at 03:22 PM
      I was semi lucid during this part of the dream. I was in a room that was merged with an outside scenery, talking to a girl when suddenly Dawn came by and said he brought me a present. It was a big wooden connected ring that was made up of small wooden cubes that came in distinct colorful patterns. I thanked him for it but thinking it was supposed to be a bracelet i put it around my wrist. It was too big though so I took it apart, detaching it and putting it back together as a smaller ring.

      It was still pretty big though and i couldn't keep the cubes attached to eachother because of dream gravity. A big chunk of it fell apart. In order to save it i used dream control to put it back together. It worked well. After that when i saw him come closer i apologized for messing with it but told him i was only fixing it so that it would fit.He said it was okay.

      I than walked around and was looking for a green macaw female parrot that i felt was supposed to be present. I couldn't find her though. "Where is the green parrot that use to be here?" I asked Dawn
      We sat down and he told me "she died at four years old because she was only surrounded by indoor lighting and she needed natural sunlight" and something about them living less. I felt sad that she was gone but accepted that it was what happened.


      Notes:In this dream Dawn made me realize that i need to pay attention to my bird's getting the light they need more. The gift didn't need to be an accessory to be important either. I should have left it as it was instead of making it into what i wanted it to be.

      I tried painting the patterns but it's not coming out right, my memory is also failing me so I'll just leave it like this. I think its okay enough to give you idea of what it was.

    5. Day 37 & 38: Picking Up

      by , 03-25-2018 at 05:57 AM (An Insomniac's Dream Journal)
      Day 37:

      Fell asleep at: 11:30 PM

      Woke up at: 7:10 AM


      Dream 45: Scarlet Red Dress

      I'm touring the streets of some sort of rustic, European city; though it definitely reminded me of Spain more than anything. Walking the cobblestone streets, I find a beautiful girl coming out of some nondescript boutique. She had black, curly hair, slightly tannish skin, and was wearing a red dress.

      As if straight out of a schmaltzy romance flick, I immediately pull her aside and start dancing. We were dancing for about 5 minutes straight, and I gotta admit, it was pretty fun (And, well, you know...). The dream then shifts to something I wish to forget.


      Dream 46: Monkey Business

      My sister and I are, again, caught in another perilous driving situation. She's driving a really big truck, about the size of a schoolbus (and twice as wide), while driving on an incredibly narrow street.

      Through this colonia, my sister finds a way to make things worse. There's a schoolbus right in front of us, but we were too late to stop ourselves from crashing into it. Instead of students, however, a flurry of chimps are pouring out of the bus. The noise they make is so shrill and so loud that it wakes me up entirely. Turns out it was the fire alarm that was making that horrible noise.


      Day 38:

      Fell asleep at: 12:00 AM

      Woke up at: 10:00 AM


      Dream 47: Kev' In Da' Shop

      Well this came outta nowhere. In some random coffee shop, I'm sitting in my table alongside a couple of unidentifiable DCs, when Kevin Hart walks in through the door. I don't question it, though, and I stare at him blankly.

      He walks over to the magazine rack and starts talking. I think he's doing a skit, but I can't quite remember what he was talking about. He was walking around, cracking jokes, and just generally having a good time.


      Dream 48: Sun's Song

      I'm in the living room, just minding my own business. My mom and dad are preparing to go to bed, so they both go into their room and leave me alone in the living room.

      As I'm sitting on the couch, I notice something peculiar. The sun has already begun to rise. "That's weird." I say to myself. I go over to my room to ask my brother what time it was: 2 o' clock.

      Immediately I rush outside, telling my brother to bring his phone. In the process of getting out of my house, the sun has risen and set in a matter of seconds.

      Once I get there, I notice it is extremely windy. My brother brought my two puppies with him, too. They looked hilarious what with the wind blowing all the fur on their face to the side and them sticking their tongues out.


      Dream 49: Hotel Construction

      A timelapse of a beachfront hotel plays out. For about 5 minutes, I see the entire construction progress. Oddly enough, it was all done in Minecraft.

      The perspective then switches to a first-person POV, my POV. I'm talking to my dad about something I can't quite remember, but I remember feeling a little bit down after that conversation. The sun was setting, and so I decided to walk into the hotel myself.

      Inside, I spot my brother and my mom, and I also decide to chat with them. It wasn't exactly uplifting either, and I only wound up feeling a bit more melancholic after it.


      Dream 50: Hot Demon Girl

      Playing Doom 2016 when a cutscene pops up. There's this attractive looking lady, about in her 20s, in this gray and dusty hallway. She is slowly making her way towards me, and progressively getting more demon-like as she does so.

      I pay particularly close attention to her eyes, a muted gray color, yet representative of her beauty and humanity. Even as she gets more, frankly, disgusting, her eyes remain quite nice. The dream ends with her transformation into a full-blown demon.
    6. Log 1059 - Phantoms and Feasts and Other Assorted Stories

      by , 03-25-2018 at 02:47 AM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Saturday 24 March 2018

      Scrap Group 1
      Modding Dwarf Fortress.

      Several WBTBs, during which I meditated. This allowed for very present dreams, just not lucid ones.

      Dream 1 - Telekinesis Treats

      The visuals were clear. I was working at my old job at the gas station. My former bosses and quite a few co-workers were there. That almost tipped me off to the state, but just almost. It did at least explain why I thoughtlessly practiced telekinesis to stock various things. This included hot food items, many of which were a lot more elaborate foods than you'd find in the place, including shish-kebabs. The dream ended shortly afterwards.

      Dream 2 - Phantoms and Feasts


      The visuals were a a bit dim. I was in a large basement, probably from an apartment building. Soon, dozens of spirits creeped out of the dark corners of the room, making nuisances of themselves, if not outright attacking. Of them, I could identify various kinds of fairies, and several Arachne (half women, half spiders) . An HUD revealed elemental variants of these creatures (ie Electric Fairy). Access to ritual magic allowed me to banish the sprites, and, depending on their species, to either bind or bargain with them. Those that would negotiate usually made requests of exorcising other spirits, especially those they disliked or were not of their own kind. I only took agreements which would have marks that were already hostile. Binds were more direct, but took a good deal of time to get in place.

      As the number of invasive spirits diminished, a figure descended from the stairs, the ghost of a dark skinned woman with long, black hair. She was named after a famous alchemist (Paracelsus, I think), and, I sensed, was a powerful conjurer in her own right. This ghost was a bind-able, but, with all the other lingering spirits, it would've been unwise to try such at the moment. I then "recalled" just being there to finish some laundry. So, I requested a "time out", and bade the sprites come back after I finished my chores. Humorously, they abided.

      I headed to the laundry area, which itself lead to a hallway. There, I spotted my sister, Almira, conversing with uncle Otto on a wireless home phone. She got bored of that, and passed the phone to me. My uncle asked of a party that was apparently going on there, particularly if there were any leftovers. He was still considering going there, given the long ride from central New Jersey to the Bronx (where I felt I was at the time). I guessed there might've been rice and peas, and maybe some cold food items. Still, I decided to verify.

      Soon, I arrived in an outdoor dining area, the place arranged into a fancy banquet. Whole tables were occupied entirely with many-tiered platters of meats, of which included beef slices, Peking duck, and roast goat. There were also trays of pasties and fancy snack items which could be identified.

      Unfortunately, before I could try anything, the dream ended.
