Was hurting so I moved to the couch. It was storming and every little noise kept waking me up. I eventually had a spontaneous OBE. I willfully drifted off the couch and into the kitchen. I enjoyed all the sensations as usual but was very aware of my open mouth breathing. I tried to stablize the dream more by crawling. Some woman walks by and I trip her by grabing her ankle and pushing on the back of her knee. Then I am floating over my dog laying asleep on the floor. I hug her. A noise wakes me up.

I set a goal this week of waking up with my eyes closed and remaining still one time. I managed to do this twice. April 3rd I did this and waited for about 20 seconds without anything happening before deciding to go back to sleep (didn't want to lose much sleep that night). Last night, I did this and thought about my previous dream. There was maybe some slight hypnagogia, but nothing more happened for whatever reason..could be focusing too intently and watching the process happen as any slight changes occurred. I think the former attempt was too early in the morning, but the latter was probably at an appropriate time. I mentioned in a DEILD thread that I would experiment with multiple attempts per night, resetting the intention to wake up appropriately after any unsuccessful attempts. Eventually I should wake up in a more REM dominated phase of sleep in the morning (if this is even the issue). From what I've read the hardest part about DEILD is waking up without moving or opening your eyes, but even when I manage to do this, very little else happens. This is confusing but I will figure it out soon enough. In my first DEILD attempt, I woke up motionless and felt strong vibrations...where did these go!?

Dream

I am in a game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in first person, but am actually physically in the game. There are a lot of noobs as part of some event that's going on. I see armor on the ground and pick it up. I am with someone, I think J, along with R2D2 and C3PO from star wars. We are in the woods at night, and are a little bit lost. There is a raised rubble pathway to my right. I am surprised that the droids are able to manage through this terrain. We get to a small grass gap between the edge of the forest and a farmers field with tall corn. Suddenly the clouds part and the moon shines down on us, leaving us exposed. I lead us to the crops to take cover so nobody sees us, especially a werewolf because its a full moon after all. We lay prone in the cornfield, but oh shit! We're lying next to a werewolf!! It starts snarling at me and moves toward me barking..or whatever is it that werewolves do.

WILD attempt at noon:
-focused on my breath to relax, and then started counting down with each exhale..There were some thoughts about whether my eyes would flutter open like they sometimes do when attempting a WILD, but I mindfully let them pass and returned to counting. I noticed some very active swirls and blobs moving for some period of time while counting down, but then I got excited and it stopped. Will try to be more mindful about this, and just return attention to anchor as anything is happening. Paying too much attention to the process of falling asleep is probably keeping me awake. Will just let things happen on their own. WILD is basically still just falling asleep, and I know how to do that already

Some stuff happened and someone said my theme song is Candy Dulfer's 'Lily Was Here'.

In the next dream me and a group of people were desperately trying to escape a house to get away from a homicidal maniac. I tried the back door leading to the garden (now I realize the layout was from the place my family used to live) but it was blocked by plastic. The other people near me immediately gave up and started looking for another way, but I kept tearing at the plastic until I could open the door. But then for some reason, I went back into what is the kitchen in real life, and together with another person, attacked the homicidal maniac. The killer was a woman, and I think she wore white face paint. She did not expect her victims to fight back. I stabbed her multiple times, and shot her with my gun. Even after she was down, I kept shooting.

Well, it is sort of a recurring dream, but some parts of it change. I have dreams where I am a mother and I have a baby in my arms and I sing the baby to sleep. There is always a lot of emotion/love in the dream, and I know I am the mother of the child, but the rest of the details tend to change.

In this dream I was sitting in my dad's chair, which is too big for me (I am actually pretty tall, but my dad owns this huge reclining chair where only he can touch the ground, he is 6'4"/194 cm). I am wearing a light blue dress/night gown sort of thing. I am holding a baby girl in my arms and I know she is my daughter. She starts crying so I rock her in my arms and start humming Epona's song from the Legend of Zelda. Usually my hearing is not spectacular in dreams, but in these dreams I always hear the singing or humming very clearly, and this sounded very much like the music in the game. Maybe I have perfect pitch in my dreams .

If someone is really curious what it sounds like:


As I hum it the baby quickly stops crying and then slowly starts smiling. Then, after about a minute or so, she falls asleep. The hardest part to describe is the feeling. One of the greatest feelings of love. When the baby starts smiling I just experience joy. The dream is too short, and I want her to be real .

I was on a moving platform made of snow with a bunch of other people. There was something about being stuck on it. There were some other parts I forgot. I was at <<Personal Info>>and there was something else to do with my Mom and Dad.

Then I remember folding up this clothing thing which had six limbs. It was like my grey fleece but with six limbs. I was connecting the end of one of the leg parts with one of the arm parts and criss crossing them. I dropped something and started to say the F word like “ffff…” but then changed it to “fffffind it.” <<Personal Info>> was like, “good save.” <<Personal Info>>

There was a part where my sister and I were kids. My Dad moved back from a chair and my sister took the chair. I stood at the table next to my sister’s chair.

Then there was a guy saying how <<PERSONAL INFO>>has everyone shut in. He wants to save the world from <<PERSONAL INFO>>. There seems to be a limited amount of time to say good bye to everyone. The guy kneels down in front of a woman and says “Malmsteen”. I felt like I was watching King of Queens. It was kind of random. But it made me go listen to some Malmsteen the next day.

I woke up from those and thought through them. At first I had one more scene in mind, but it was gone. Before I woke up, there was some music playing within the dream. It was funny when I woke up and at first I was like, “Hey, the music turned off. Oh! I was just dreaming.” And then remembered to think of my dreams.

I had trouble falling asleep AGAIN and so that was just that. I drifted to sleep just a little and had a tiny dream that I got on my voice recorder. Then, eventually got back to sleep on my diagonal front.

This time was interesting. I was dreaming of being at <<Personal Info>>again. <<Personal Info>> <<Personal Info>>So, then, there was another part of that dream. I was in the living room. My Dad was there and he kind of scared me. There may have been some domestic violence in the dream. I was trying to turn a T V off, but it wouldn’t turn off. My Dad came into the living room and I felt scared. It occurred to me that this was a dream. His teeth looked different, and I just got the sense it was a dream. I’m not sure if my Dream Dad did it, but I felt my face pressed into the couch, and heard a voice talking to me. I knew it was a dream, so I was thinking of how I could defend myself. But so far, I wasn’t really feeling threatened. Now that I look back, I was feeling my body sensations from the way I was laying in the bed, but the dream was making a story that went along with it.

The dream transitioned to where I was in my physical bed, but in sleep paralysis or “the phase”, hearing this deep male voice that seems kind of familiar. Familiar only from other voice phenomena, not waking life.

The voice was saying some things that were threatening mostly. I forgot any of the exact words. But I remember laying there feeling like this voice was going to haunt me every night and have me stuck in sleep paralysis for hours.

I felt like I might be able to enact some dream power at any time I wanted. But I let the voice finish, and just tried to relax, and listen. I remember seeing some visuals. But when the voice was done, it asked me to reply. I tried to speak, and it was very strained, due to the paralysis. I forced out the words, “I love you.” The voice was like, “What?!” and I repeated, “I love you,” In the muffled way that it came out with my 90% paralyzed vocal chords. Then I was released, back into my physical bed. I guess that was an interesting response on my part. I didn’t have that planned. But usually embracing these things seems the healthiest to me, however hostile they seem to be. It would have been cool if I had remembered the words, or better yet, had my voice recorder on, to see if it picked it up as an Electronic Voice Phenomenon. I believe it could be recorded as E V P, but the spookies will never come when my recorder is on!

I got back to sleep after recording those, not too shaken up. I’ve had this at least 10 times before where I hear voices in sleep paralysis.

I had a dream that’s on my voice recorder but it’s not coming off the top of my head now.

My last dream was kind of a sequence. I dreamed of this side scroller video game. It was really cool but I couldn’t remember the details. Bummer, dude. Then, there was a part with my immediate family. My Dad and Sister were going out to a barbecue thing. My Mom and I were staying home. <<Personal Info>>I remember hiding behind my desk as my Dad was leaving, so he wouldn’t see me.

Then there was this live stream about lucid dreaming. My friend <<PERSONAL INFO>>was late. They were saying how he signs up, but never comes to it.

Then it was this scene of a guy who had bought this boat and was driving it around this snowy place. I rememember it was covered in snow. And he was walking around in the snow.

Then he went to find a bathroom. There was someone in the bathroom. When he got to go in, it turned out the previous guy had left his binders in the bathroom, vertical on the wall. So he gave them back. <<Personal Info>>These red things were all around that looked like the armor on Groudon’s back. We are throwing some sand around. The Groudon armor stuff pertained to some kind of interdimensional beast like a Giratina. So then the dream showed this monster being held still by some electromagnetic force. The people controlling the force said how that isn’t even enough to destroy the beast. It barely subdues it. They had the thing on its back. Then they amplified it even more and this yellow orb of electromagnetic energy appeared over the beast. The beast went into convulsions and I assume it died from that. I actually think this was pretty violent and sad. If I was lucid, I definitely would have tried to stop them. Surely a more humane arrangement could be reached.

Somewhere in there, I was yelling at some land scapers for making too much noise. But instead of gas blower noise it was electrical noise. They had electrical equipment on the bed of their truck.

That was all that came off the top of my head. I wonder what, if anything, will get me sleeping normally again. But that voice phenomenon was definitely scary on some levels. Maybe a part of me knew that would come to me if I slept, so it resisted sleep. I think having too intense of dream experiences of sleep paralysis could cause a subconscious sleep resistance. Actually I heard about some really bad nightmares other people had, of being tortured in dreams, and feeling everything, the previous day. So, that would definitely cause me to not want to go to sleep! And that’s how I think lucid dreaming could potentially help people (or just me) overcome insomnia. If insomnia is caused by sleep resistance from a fear of night mares, then building lucid, dreaming skills would be something that helps the person feel confident that when they go to sleep, they will be able to handle their dreams. I don’t know if I ever got that night mare talk as a kid, telling me that if I dream about that night mare feeling, I can become lucid. So I probably need to give myself that talk and say that its safe to sleep. And its important too because facing those dream challenges is part of life. And even if we do get a bad dream experience, it will make us stronger the next time. And there is so much more we will experience than just night mares. So on one level, I want to dream, but on another level, I’m scared to dream.

Dream No. 306 - You Don't Need Her

I don't remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was at my old house but I forgot specifically what I was doing. I ended up winning a prize for something which was a nearly front row ticket to this guy's concert... It was a singer that I haven't heard of in real life but I have forgotten his name. The ticket was for about the first three of four rows in and the seat number was 100... So it must have been C100 or D100.

It was either my parents or brother asking me when the concert was and the ticket said that the concert was from 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM. The dream scene then changed to the nearby location of the concert which was somewhere in the US, although the area looked more like Metropolis from Ratchet and Clank. I was walking around the higher streets of the area when I thought to myself, “Why didn't they give me tickets to the 7:30 PM concert? I actually would have preferred that”.

After that, I found some random people in the US that were supposedly going to look after me and be my temporary guardians while I was away from my parents; these people did look very welcoming and friendly. I have forgotten their identity and appearances though. We went for some clothes shopping and I told these people that I like vintage clothes.

We went into this massive vintage clothing store and looked at all the dresses that were on the racks. There was this Asian couple that were working at the counters and they helped us with purchasing a dress. The people I were with suggested I buy the dress one way but then the Asian people at the counter said they could make the transaction so that it was in Australian currency. It took a while but the transaction was finally sorted and although the dress wasn't in my hands, it would be shipped to Australia within a few days.

I then continued by myself, without anyone with me. I walked out of another entrance of the shop and found out that it was this whole complex, almost like some high quality, rich man's' house. It was the library that I ended up heading into next and that's where there was an entire crowd of Asian people, all ages. At this point in time, I wanted to summon Dreamy WB. Especially to the kids in the vicinity, I was trying to show them how to summon Dreamy WB.

No matter how hard I tried and how enthusiastic I looked, she wasn't appearing and the people were becoming bored. I even thought to myself “hang on, why isn't this working?”. I tried the same method numerous times and then I changed it into something different... Still, no results. Now the people were getting very disinterested and some were even walking away altogether, so I decided that it was time for me to leave.

I ended up back outside in the Metropolis-like landscape. As I was walking along one of the pathways, most fascinatingly, Jesus appears and has his hair a dirty brown, very wavy and he has his beard long but neatly placed. He is wearing an all white robe, there is glowing white around him and he is semi-physical, semi-hologram. He floats in one position and says to me “you don't need her”. I ended up replying most sincerely as I could; “But I need her for a skill-set” and then I walked further down the pathway.

I came across this tiled dock area that looked out onto a small body of water, very well laid out like an area in Ratchet and Clank. Nothing was happening but after a few seconds, these random unidentifiable dream characters came up and started throwing large fireballs at me. I was shaking in my boots while trying to dodge them, getting behind some plant pots or the front ledge if I could. I then exclaimed to myself, “If this is what the end of the world feels like, I don't like it!”.

Just then, a middle aged Asian lady came running towards me with a book in her hand. She said something to me, hinting that the community are sorry for their rudeness and that they took the effort to take in what I was talking about. Then she recited something out of the book; that's when Dreamy WB started to appear into the dream. But when she was fading in, I was fading out and that's what eventually led to me ultimately waking up. I did manage to catch Dreamy WB's appearance though; her skin and facial features were accurate, her hair was down straight, she wore a shiny black silky satin camisole and she had these massive silver hoop earrings... The dream camera was only showing her top half while I was in the waking up process. She was pleasantly smiling.

Had a very vivid dream ,where I could speak in rhymes with ease. I walked through a park where was statues and buildings of different periods of human history.

I was really relaxed and had a good mood.

I tried WILD and succeeded.

I was in an unknown apartment. There were two windows in the room through which a big city was visible, I decided to go out through the door and down the stairs. I found myself on a lively street with many cars and pedestrians. I immediately remembered the task I had and ran to the first pharmacy I had seen. I went inside and started looking for a cure for my chronic illness, but I did not find what I was looking for. Then the woman who worked there asked me what I was looking for. I explained my condition, and she told me that even if I find what I was looking for would be very difficult to transfer it from this world to mine. :uhm:
I looked at her strangely, and I wondered if she already knew I was lucid. She tell me to look for someone who knew more than her. I got out of there and started walking up the road when I saw a more strange-looking building around twelve floors and went inside. There was a wide lobby with many doors and stairs. Most doors were marked with "?" and people were waiting outside in line. I tried to enter one of the doors, but each time someone was shouting at me to go in the line. I could not resist and shouted.

me: I am lucid and I do not have much time, you DC are only in my way!

Everyone turned and looked at me with shocked expression. Someone shouted.

dc1: He called us Dream characters, what an insult.
dc2: How can he insult us this way.
me: Calm down folks, I did not mean to offend you.
dc3: He is a Lucid Dreamer!
dc4: Let's make him pay!!!
Dc5: Let's beat him to pulp!!
me: Let us be reasonable and understand each other as normal people.
dcX: Get him!

They started to hit me from all directions. While I was defending, I tried to calm them once more, but without result. There were at least thirty. I was angry and cried out to them: bring it on. At this point I started to use super force and speed. It turned into a horrible battle scene. I began to break their arms and legs with all the techniques I could think of. Bricks and tiles were breaking to pieces while I threw them around. They screamed in agony and around me was filled with bodies.

Someone shouted: more, we need more. Then all doors opened and people streamed forth from everywhere. They also went down from upstairs. There were over a hundred. At this point it turned like a scene from the Matrix Reloaded. (Neo and the agents) I increased my speed to max and literally I send them flying around, hitting the walls and columns of the building. One DC screamed: let's cut him to pieces. They began to arm themselves with swords, axes, machetes and everything that had a blade on it. I broke the hands of the first ones who attacked me with swords and took them. It was just so crazy, a hundred men armed with everything that could turn me into a hundred of pieces, running and screaming toward me from all directions. It is really hard to describe such a thing. I roar and cried out loud "Mugen double style" as I swing my swords, everything turned into a bloody slaughter. Limbs and heads flew in all directions, and the blood splashed like a river.(like Kill Bill) But they continued to come endlessly, and I was beginning to get tired. I was in shallow wounds all over. Then I felt a piercing and sharp pain on my left and I saw that someone had stuck his sword in me. When I looked in that direction to see who he was, I saw his twisted face with distorted smile and wicked eyes. I screamed 'temee' and with one movement, I tear his head off and blood splashed all around, blood, blood everywhere:barf: I jumped back and pulled out the sword from myself, a lot of blood spilled on the floor. I was on one knee, and they were coming for me. Then I got up with the last of my strength and made a shock wave with my foot(ground breaker). From her, the first wave was turned into pieces, it was just repulsive.:barf: Then I screamed:

me: Kisamaaaa go to hell.

And make a big blue ball of energy in my hand and crushed it into the ground.

me: Disappear......:mad:

Boooom (huge explosion) everyone turned into blood dust and disappeared. FUuuuuuu a bizarre shockwave arise, send me flying backward. I flew through one of the windows and hit a passing car with my back. The car flip over and twisted as it struck the opposite shop and exploded. People fled and screamed around. I was in the middle of the road in small crater that my body created from the impact and could not move.
me: I think I broke something important.:lol:

Rain was falling and it was running down my face. At this point, the building began to break and bend over me (the special effects were at the max, as in "transformers" from Michael Bay)
While I was coughing blood I smile and said

me: I think I did well enough. I show them who is the master here.

The building collapsed on me with a CRASH.

At that moment I woke up. I still had residual adrenaline in my blood. Hell, what kind of dream was that?

Created Friday 06 April 2018


Phew! I thought I was stuck in a dry spell for sure! Got two WILD and DEILD loops to note, and a scrap.

Scrap Group 1
Playing KeeperRL. There's a bit of a hassle setting up demon spawns for recruitment.

WBTB. It took a good hour and a half before the first transition.

Dream 1 - Figment Shot

Scene 1 - Purple Visions Again
The visuals were a bit blurred. WILD transition in bed, noted by an illusory sound of wind increasing with time. While still laying on my back, I floated out the room, then phased through the walls. Sensing my actual body quickly pulled me to bed again. Colorful hypnagogia started forming, first as purple waves, then of like-colored fractal patterns. I could both move my dream body and sense myself IRL, which disoriented me greatly. Brief awakening, then DEILD.

Scene 2 - Air Shooting
The visuals were very blurred. Still in bed. I started running around while pretending to shoot at the air. Soon, I heard the Unreal Tournament announcer exclaiming various kill prompts (ie 'DOUBLE KILL!'). This was amusing enough to preoccupy me for two minutes. Woke up, then DEILDed back for about a minute more to a similar experience. I then awakened out of the loop. Took fifteen minutes to get another WILD.

Dream 2 - Musical Menagerie

Scene 1 - Do the Guadalajara Jig
The visuals were blurred. WILD transition in bed. I floated to the kitchen, where I jumped on the counter to do a jug. I wanted music to play, but could only think of meriachi music, so I just settled with that.This nonsense went on for about a minute and a half. Brief awakening, then DEILD.

Scene 2 - Moving Train Salsa
Similar visuals, though they gradually clarified in time. Back in bed. My limbs were feeling sore. Reckoned constant movement and some good music would take my mind off that. So, I sounded Floral Fury from Cuphead.

Things warped. Now, I was standing on an old west railway platform, sun high in the noon sky. A luxury passenger train was just departing. I ran and jumped after it, barely catching hold of the side of its red rear car. I made my way up, though it was a much longer climb than anticipated. Along the way, I tapped the window. This both startled and intrigued a lady inside, a pleasant, fair-skinned dame wearing a fancy dress and bonnet.

We both met on the roof, where we danced salsa to the tune of the music. Noticed I was only in bedclothes, which, by will, I replaced with a snazzy tux w/bowtie and dress shoes. We both mighta overdone the performance a bit, but it was very enjoyable all the same.

This went on for about a minute longer before a brief awakening. Another DEILD.

Scene 3 - Quick Round of Shadowboxing
The visuals were dimmer and blurrer. Back in bed. My limbs were throbbing right now. So, I immediately got up to shadowbox for a bit, all to the tune of the Punch-Out theme. Brief awakening half a minute later, then another DEILD.

Scene 4 - Take Me on Your Mighty Wings
Similar visuals as above, but they got progressively clearer. Back in bed yet again. I start running into the void, where I have Mighty Wing by Cheap Tricks sounding in the background.

A cutscene then forms. This had a light skinned, light haired athletic man running on an Olympic track. Warp. I was now running around a baseball field. Noticed things were off with the song's lyrics and pitch. Things warped as I tried correcting that.

Now, I was laying down on a grassy hill, silver-blue sky above. There was a striking woman in a plain white dress next to me, fair skinned, dark brown hair, and a bright, elating smile. She suddenly lifted me up in her arms, where I noticed her being many times bigger than anticipated. Then, following the lyrics, the lady flies us both to the sky. She slows her pace, when she suddenly sprouts angelic wings.

The song come to a sudden halt, and so does the dream.
