    1. 24th Shared Dreaming Attempt - Vesterguard's Dream

      Vesterguard's Dream

      non-lucid - Notes - lucid

      28-08-11 I walk into Drew's room and he is playing computer games. He has 12 hours off and I ask him if he intends to spend all of those playing computer games. I sort of want him to come along, but he doesn't want to do anything but play.

      I think he is there with his girlfriend, but she isn't going to be there.


      I am in eastern Europe walking up to a gold course. The weather is sunny and we are walking uphill.

      Some of the family friends are there. I am going to play golf, but I know already that I don't meet the requirements to go on the full course, but will have to settle for the par 3 course. The full course looks like it is located in a farmland zone.

      I go to play golf with my dad, but it is a really weird par 3 course. It can't actually be described as a par 3 at all.

      First of all the shots has to be fired from inside a room on a floor above the course. I can't find my way into this room so the way I shoot the first couple of shots is by reaching in behind a grass curtain and popping out the ball, which results in comparatively horrible shots compared to the people who are hitting the balls with clubs from behind the wall.

      I see my dad in there and ask how to get in, and he swiftly directs me. On the way in I notice these scoreboards that proclaim I have 55 (or 53) shots per hole, which is utter ridiculous.

      Inside I can't even hit the balls and I have to kneel down and reach under some wooden box to get out the ball, which counts as a shot and a new ball appear. My shot is shown on a TV screen and a guide tells me that it is too soon to attempt putting.


      Following Andy Belflour through a couple of attempts at solving a puzzle in a burning house. It starts with him shooting a cat/rat to obtain a key to the door that will lead him to the second floor. Don't know what happens after, but there is a woman commenting his lack of skills at the scenario.


      We are in a military squad and we are chasing a predator (from the movies). A few of the guys fall prey to him.

      We are in a scenario that seems a mixture of a construction site and muddy jungle, though the mud seems made from tire tracks.

      At one point I observe the predator turning invisible and start targeting people with the signature three dots. Some of the people with me might actually turn invisible as well.

      Back at base there is a message from Atras. It explains that we have a new vehicle available on the mission.

      Immediately after this the dream jumps to showing the predator pursuing a female member of our squad. They are both on motor cycles and she can't shake him. However she activates this machine in the middle of the site that has an arm that starts spinning around. On it's way around it picks up either another vehicle or container and as it swings around the woman ducks under it, but the predator aint that lucky and smashes into it head first.

      This may be the vehicle Atras was talking about.


      Reading DV forum threads. Mancon explains that his reasons for joining IOSDP is that he believes it in his heart that shared dreaming is possible and is looking for experiential confirmation as there is no recognised scientific support or even possible explanations yet (there are a few, though they are ousted from the mainstream community).

      In another thread someone is questioning Nomad why he couldn't get into, I believe you call it ivy league universities. And asks if he has a criminal record or something.

      He replies that he couldn't because of behvor (the spelling was also wrong in the dream, hence I have replicated it here ^^).

      Notes: The reason I have joined IOSDP is exactly as posted by Mancon in my dream, and I have no clue if Nomad has gone to university or not, so sorry for dragging your guys into my head like this ^^. On a positive note, this is the first time IOSDP members figure in my dreams.


      In the beginning of the night I keep waking up and falling into very similar dreams. These dreams consists of protecting the spirit of Ayahuasca from misunderstanding and abuse.

      One of these representations of her is a rather large woman. I keep thinking to myself how awesome it would be to actually meet her without taking the vine of souls (though I also want to try that)


      Very short Lucid.

      I see the dream manifest around me and I want to give it a bit of time to stabilise.

      I am standing in a doorway and the scenery is forming around me, the light indicates daytime. There is a yellow building outside and a lot of people on the streets. I walk outside looking around.

      I am gonna try a new way of getting to Chichén Itza this night. I want to try and summon a UFO to take me there, but it is too early for it, it will wreck the dream if I try it now I sense.

      So I keep watching the scenery, there is a brown(ish) building with a curved rooftop and it is actually rather tall. I am trying to calm down, which is very hard this time because I feel truly amazing. Like I am floating, but it is different to how I normally feel when flying. Think the best way of describing the feeling is like floating on a cloud of love.


      The dream fades, but I am left with the floating-love sensation in my bed, so it aint all bad.
    2. 24th Shared Dreaming Attempt - Bihon's Dream

      by , 08-28-2011 at 09:02 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Bihon's Dream

      *Long, descriptive dream ahead!

      My fishes laid a lot of eggs, and there were some deformed fish floating around among with the little ones, my mom then had to get an extra aquarium to put them in.

      Later, I was at this line up, then a paramedic came. I then said that I was feeling sick, so he urged me to go the ambulance. On the way there, I fell asleep, feeling better already, I felt bad, because I was simply there for no reason at all. Inside, were a couple more people, all hitching rides. One of them left, (Owl from Deadman Wonderland). I jump out later on.

      There was something that had happened, an unforgiving act from human beings in a field (?). A friend of mine was with me, and she was disgusted, and she was raging with anger. She had a katana with her, and she spiraled into the air to attack the bad guys, only, me, and another girl with us were shot into the air, because of the speed my friend was going. Katana in hand, she spun, and had also attacked us together with the random bad guys. Both of my legs were sliced badly, deeply; but there was no blood rushing at all. I was on the floor, unable to move, the pain feeling so real, I see the other girl in worse condition than I was. Later, the same paramedic came, I then awoke at this 'hospital' it looked like an olden hotel, a tavern. It seemed to be nighttime outside. The wounds on 'both' of my legs had already healed, but as I walk around, I see this severed leg. I knew it was mine, it was frozen, wrapped up in gauze. I took it out, and tried to fit it in my thigh. I broke it though (being frozen and all), so I ran (having two legs) freaking out, finding the doctor, who was Robert Englund, the paramedic had stopped me, and I told him what had happened, and he had also worried, telling me I might need a prosthetic leg, later, the leg thaws.. But I was walking on both my legs!

      I was outside a house with my mother, sitting on lounge chairs, and we were watching the moon/sun outside as it sinks into the horizon. It was humongous, and blood red. Soon after, I see an explosion in the horizon after the object had disappeared, it took a couple of seconds for the sound to reach us, but it then turned out be fireworks. I see a UFO fly above us, but still, they were fireworks, the last one though, almost hit us, missing us by an inch. My brother came out to check on us. Still, the scars were on my legs.

      Later on, there was this gate I was at. We were waiting in a line in front of it, but as the people talked, it came to me that all the people there were definitely evil. I ran, trying to stop there plans by disabling them to open the gates. I tried, but I failed, and they looked at me weirdly as I sat on the fence. On the side of it was a small area with bushes, and a little monster had appeared, two of them. They talked to me, saying that they had been turned that way. I tried to help, but instead of turning them into their full human forms, they grew a few inches to be Mushu from Mulan. They said thanks in annoyance, and walked away. Somewhere, I had to explain to my relatives about what happened to my legs, and I did this by finding the anime episode online, episode 41. I watched it, and I found out that the bad guys had disguised themselves as monsters to slaughter a little kid, which lead to my friend attacking them.

      I was at this house, and I was Buffy (The Vampire Slayer). I was walking around, and this girl's mother's spirit was plotting something evil. I tried to talk with her out of it, which lead to emotional flashbacks and black and white cartoons. It was really emotional, and the mother was crying before disappearing.

      I was me again, wearing a colorful dress like the witches wore from a previous dream. The evil guys from the gates were beginning their plan. Their leader was a woman, a powerful one. I was soon in a mission, and I flew using a wand (not HP). I remember feeling how it was like meditating, focusing all my chakra to where I was going, and the surroundings around me were so vivid and beautiful. I flew with precision, with control, and I flew fast.

      I reach this place, and I was soon this dude, I think I was Hohenheim (FMA), Still, I was on the mission, but I went to my (Dude's) house, seeing 'my' wife being there, but I knew we were in separate dimensions, I cried, seeing her crying. I had to gather a few more people, Willow, and Xander, I flew again, using the same wand, same control, and I soon realized I was dreaming. I asked myself whether I should find my DG as I looked around, but with how fast the pace of the dream was, I had to think fast. I wanted to unravel the story, and I wanted to see it all end, so I chose to go along with it. I lost my lucidity after reaching a place, another tavern, and the inside was filled with luminous light and crystals, it was beautiful. I was then this girl, a close friend of the dude I was earlier, and I flew once again.

      I was in a scene where the evil woman, the leader was gathering her minions, I was her. But I was in no control, it seemed like they were vampires, and in their hands they had these rings that gave them immense power. They were also in the middle of the desert.

      I was back to being that girl, flying, and I was also flying so fast. It was intense because I tried to fight for time, but in the horizon, I could see patches of the desert, and I was soon in the evil woman's power, I tried to fly away, as they appeared, trying to catch me using sand. I tried and tried, as I struggled, one of them was in a motorcycle. I was flying so fast, but I soon awoke.

      I slept again. The scars were still on my legs, and I was in this group trip activity, My friend, and my two brothers were with me. Together with the group, we picked pieces of paper, saying which bus we had to get on. Each of them leading to different places in an amusement park. I hoped to pick one with the Safari ride, but instead, I found myself in the bus to ride on the scary roller coaster ride. I awoke.

      Fragment: Roller coaster ride really early in the dream.

      MrIrony's dream

      I'm a member of Organizations XIII. (Yup, it's from Kingdom hearts.)

      I kinda switch between who I am, but I think I started as Axel. We're exploring a new area and making a map of it. We walk through a canyon that has different sized holes in the walls. The place that it led was a big, round area with no other exits than the canyon. (I didn't really see that place, I just saw the map.) Xigbar found some secret doors inside the holes of the canyon, but I can't remember what was inside.

      I think that after that we found an entrance to a cave in the dead end area. Axel, Demyx, Roxas and Larxene went explore it. I think. Whoever there was with me, I was Roxas. Then some weird, giant, mutant, zombie baby appeared there. It was apparently Roxas'. I (Roxas.) asked Demyx to take the baby and teleport out of here, because he's the weakest one and we others can fight our way out of there. Then I saw the place from third person. We were flying away from the cave using a spacesip similiar to the Planet express ship from Futurama.

      Some tentacles or whatever are chasing the ship and I need to use some psychic powers to pull obstacles on their way. We make it out of there. Then we're standing in the Organizations base. "Um... This might seem like a stupid question..." I start to say. "It is.Larxene says. "...But where's Demyx?" Everyone looks at each other and I realize my baby, and Demyx, are gone. I hug Xaldin and start to cry.

      The next thing I remember is that I'm standing somewhere with two boys. I'm still Roxas. By some weird logic those kids are my sons and once I realize that I hug them and cry tears of joy. Then everything goes black and once I see something again I'm standing next to a train track that's, for some reason, in the middle of the Organization's base. (The blackout was kinda like a "Ten years later" thingy.) My sons come from the train and everyone starts celebrating. Except me. I walk away, take out some map and teleport to some island. There's a tall tower there that looks like a volcano or something with scaffolds circling around it. I might have turned into Sora now. I climb up the tower and the dream turns so that I'm watching a video of some guy showing how to beat an optional boss called Dark Impetus that's at the top of the tower. (No, I didn't know what "impetus" meant before today, and yes, that's a weird name.)

      Once he gets to the top there's some kind of crater there. There's a pillar in the middle of it and on top of it stands the monster. It's a human figure with red electricity surrounding it. It throws stuff and shoots rainbow-colored beams at Sora to attack. Every time it attacks the "video" freezes and some text appears that explains what this attack does. When Sora finally knocks that thing down and attacks it, it turns out to be a miniature grenade surrounded by red energy. I wake up.

    5. 24th Shared Dreaming Attempt - Ashraen

      by , 08-28-2011 at 06:30 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Dream 1 (non lucid)
      I was in a large house filled with mostly strangers, and we were preparing to wait out a hurricane. We were watching/listening to weather reports (which weren't on a tv, but seemed to be on display in the air around us- sort of). As the hurricane approached, I was watching out a window, and I saw it coming as a wall of red hot magma. When it got to the house, I was in a large closet with a couple of other people, but the closet only had curtains for doors. The lava began to fill the house, burning and swallowing things. Somehow, the level of the lava stayed just low enough to not fill the closet that I was in, but I could see it flowing through the rest of the house. Just as it was about to spill over into the closet, the hurricane subsided and the magma left the house.

      There was a brief period where everyone was discussing/reliving the passing of the 'cane. We were talking about it, but also there was a kind of 're-experiencing' of the whole thing, kinda like a dream of it within the dream, but not exactly. It was rather strange, actually.

      Dream 2 (non-lucid)
      This was definitely a separate dream, but I was aware of the lava hurricane from the previous dream in it. I was out back behind my house, surveying the destruction that the storm had rent. The swimming pool was empty, but littered with debris. There were several family members out with me, also looking around. I noticed a snake over near one of my cousins and warned him about it. My grandmother saw it too, and announced that it was a 'beautiful adult rattler.' As I made my way away from the snake, I saw another, and another, and another. There were dozens of rattlesnakes, and they were chasing my family members around with their heads up in the air like cobras raised to strike.

      I called out to the family to warn them, and suddenly a bunch of the snakes were heading after me. I tried to draw them out away from my family, but when I did, I got caught in the middle of 2 packs of them and had no way to escape. As the snakes got dangerously close to me, I woke up.

      Dream 3 (lucid)
      I was in an old girlfriend's house, and she was in college. We were laying on the couch, and her roommates and other friends were coming in and out, stocking the fridge, watching tv. I got my guitar out and was playing/singing, entertaining myself and anyone else who cared to listen. Another guy got out a tiny guitar- it was an acoustic but had electric strings- and began jamming along, but it sounded terrible. I wanted to tell him to stop because he was ruining the jam, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings, so I just gritted my teeth and tried not to let it throw me off

      After awhile, I decided that my gf was spending too much time talking to other guys in the house, and I got a little jealous that she wasn't paying me enough attention. I told her I wanted to go, so she needed to take me to my car. I loaded my guitar into her car (which was actually my current car), and she drove with me in the passenger seat and one of her girlfriends in the back. She was driving me through a parking lot of cars, and I seemed to know that people were parked here for a wedding.

      As we got to where she would drop me off, I got out of the car. I was jealous and upset, and this didn't seem to bother her at all, so I grabbed her phone and threw it out into the street, hoping to get a reaction from her. It didn't, and the phone also didn't break (which irritated me), so I did a 'do-over.' I grabbed the phone again (which was back in the car) and chunked it harder, imagining it breaking into pieces with it hit the road this time. It did.. and the ridiculousness of what I was doing plus the fact that I 'made' it shatter with my mind caused me to become lucid.

      Alas, I didn't remember to go to the pyramid. This was my first lucid on a dream attempt night, and my first in a week dry spell. I've recently taken a job where I spend my weekdays 400 miles away from home and only come home on the weekends, and this has my routine all off. (excuses, excuses, I know ) Anyway, I stabilized for a minute, then headed to a nearby house, trying to move superfast. I couldn't move my legs fast, so I just glided along over the ground, focusing on making the world around me move by me really quickly. It worked, and I streaked over to the house.

      As I neared the house, it began to rain (sprinkle), and I woke up and had to pee really bad

      Dream 4 (lucid)
      After a bathroom break, I found myself on a crowded street with people driving, walking, biking, etc. A car was weaving around and coming close to hitting me. As I began to think about how strange this was, I noticed a house... and it was the same house had been dreaming about in the previous dream. I remembered that I had been lucid dreaming, and became lucid again.

      I did my superspeed thing down the road and to the house. I once again failed to remember to go to the pyramid.. d'oh!!!!!
      I remembered that I was on the second task of Nomad's dream RPG, and went into the house to look for a mirror, to get myself into character. I was not wearing the clothes that I had given my character in the previous adventure, and I tried to change them on myself. I was able to give myself the hat that I had, but I couldn't make my shirt right. I was able to change it, but it kept changing into a blue pancho or a blue sweatshirt.

      After ALOT of working at this, I was able to come up with a shirt that- while not exactly what I was going for- fit my character pretty well, but I still needed the brown leather pants. For the life of me, I could NOT do it. i kept looking away from the mirror, imagining what I would look like with the pants on, and looking back, but every time I was wearing some type of shorts or blue jeans. I wasted way too much time trying to do this, and eventually woke up.

    6. 24th Shared Dreaming Attempt - Kumara's Dream

      by , 08-28-2011 at 05:01 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Kumara's Dream

      Dream 1 - semi-lucid -
      I went up a ladder into an attic and looked around. I was surprised when a young girl, lying on her side, appeared before me...like a holographic image that solidified. Other girls appeared to the left, I understood they were vampires. They woke up and sort of attacked me, only their teeth were broad and rounded and dull, so it didn't hurt and they couldn't really break the skin. I picked up one of them and she turned into a kitten. Each of the others turned into kittens as I picked them up. I took the vampire-kittehs back down out of the attic and wondered what to do with them. I didn't think it was a good idea to have vampire-kitties hanging around, so I tried to create a portal to send them to some dimension that would be a good place for them, fail.
      I asked god what to do with them...nothing immediate came so I just walked out.

      Dream 2 - I may have been practicing flying as high and fast as I could then plummeting back down. I was swimming in water and enjoying splashing around then realized...DOLPHINS!!! I can call the dolphins!!! I turned and saw fins and started squealing and splashing and swimming toward them...they got close and I was trying to bring them into better focus and see more detail, I touched them and squealed more, thrilled to be with the dolphins.

      Dream 3 - I was renting a room from someone. I don't remember the room, but I went searching for a chair. I found some plain black metal stools on a platform, there was a weird tiny little black wheelchair with a hood like it was a combo stroller/wheelchair. I cleared the stuff away and found a tall stool that I thought would be do the job...for some reason I looked around and noticed that surrounding the wooden platform I was on was a HUGE buffet on an l-shaped serving line. The dining room was plush and ornate, many people were eating at various tables. I walked up to the buffet and maybe asked the guy I was renting the room from if the buffet and chairs were included with the rent and he had a bewildered attitude of "of course!" as if it was a given.

      Dream 4 - I was at my friend N's new apartment she had just bought. It was HUGE. Her "apartment" was the top 3 floors of an old house that was more like a mansion. We were on the top level...I looked around a corner and noticed a line of beds of all sizes with ornate headboards lined up against the wall in front of me and to the right. I marveled to her at how many beds she had, I counted 9 or 10. She said, "well of course, that's what I've been saving up for all this time!" I was trying to figure out how they could afford this amazing place, thinking of how her husband works for (big corporation). I noticed a rack of clothes and was thinking of how everything I owned could pretty much fit where that rack of clothes was and I could maybe move my stuff there and she'd never even notice.

    7. 24th Shared Dreaming Attempt- The Cusp's Attempt

      by , 08-28-2011 at 04:58 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Some mafia types are trying to bully my friends and I in our apartment. I stand up to them, and then they begin to hunt me with guns. A lot for running away, but the big boss spots me at a fair and is closing in fast. I run by some large dirt mounds, and in one of them there is a little cave like entrance. I crawl in and it goes way back.

      Realizing I've kind of left myself trapped if he looks in, I push the dirt to cover up the entrance, leaving just a little crack I can see through. Through it I can see the big boss pause right out front. I burst out of my hole, taking him by surprise, and kill him. Then I drag his body back into the hole.

      I go back out and meet some people who smoke me a joint. Once of them is curious about the entrance in the dirt mound, and I try to dissuade him from entering. He won't let it go, so I try to threaten him to stay out. That doesn't work and he enters and finds the dead body. Since I was such a dick to him earlier, he rats me out

      Reset!

      Buddy wants to poke around in the cave again, but this time instead of trying to threaten him, I'm much nicer and tell him my story. He's sympathetic and no longer rats me out. He also points out an awesome looking rifle on the dead guy's body. Armed with this kick ass rifle, now it's my turn to hunt them.

      I'm leading a group of people through an office building hunting down the rest of that gang, when I notice the barrel is bent. I keep trying to fix is and straighten it, but it just keeps getting worse, so I tear it off. Then the rest of the gun keeps getting dented until finally it's no longer usable.

      Nephanim's Dreams

      I woke up several times during the night, but I didn't make it out of bed to write down my dreams. I only remember some of them.

      Murder Trial in the Swamp Valley

      I was traveling across the country on foot. I stopped at a store to buy some food and ended up getting a handful of gummy bears. The guy at the register thought it was strange that I asked for a handful instead of a certain number, but I was just going to carry them until I finished eating them. After I paid for my gummy bears, I continued walking along a mountain road. I sensed that I was somewhere along the Texas-Louisiana border – although I’m not sure where there would be mountains in that area. The road barely had a shoulder, so I was walking really close to the cliff. Portions crumbled beneath my feet, but I was careful about where I put my weight. I met a guy with black hair who was also traveling on foot. When I told him I wanted to reach Houston before the night was through, he gave me a doubtful look. It was already deep into the night, and I’m sure I looked as tired as I felt.

      The road curved, and I spotted a tall man in some kind of Neo-Egyptian armor. When we approached him, he announced that we weren’t permitted to go any further. The black-haired guy tried to walk past him anyway, and the armored man threw him off the cliff. Rather than endangering my life, I decided to carefully slide down the cliff. That way, I could check on the other guy and continue traveling in the valley below. Amazingly, the guy survived the fall. He pointed out a small village nearby, and we decided to stay there for the night.

      The dream jumped. I was walking with him through the village the next morning. Apparently, there were riots all night long… The town’s mayor begged us not to judge the villagers based on their rioting. We had some kind of “Rate your experience!” form provided by the Department of Tourism. I assured the mayor that I would never judge his performance or the quality of our stay based on riots, but in reality, I’m sure I would. We walked into a garage, and the black-haired guy climbed into a corvette. He explained that he was responding to a crime report and invited me to come along.

      The dream jumped. We drove up to the base of a tower. At this point, I figured we would get out and walk up the stairs to the rooftop. Instead, he drove into the building and up the stairs. The car had a clever suspension system that allowed him to pop the front into the air to get up stairs. We found Chelsea standing on the open roof. It was fairly high above ground level, so we could see the whole valley around us. It looked like there was some kind of marsh in the distance. The black-haired guy got another call from the police department. Allegedly, the murderer he was looking for had been sighted nearby. Chelsea joined us in the car as we drove back down the stairs to the ground level.

      The dream jumped. We stopped at the edge of a swamp. There was nothing the corvette could do here, so I had to cross on foot. We used fallen trees and bits of trash that had been discarded here as stepping stones to move between patches of land. My parents and Austin joined in crossing the swamp. I was the first one to make it to the other side! While I waited for them to show up, I wandered into an outdoor trial of sorts. The judge was a woman in her early twenties. Her glasses made her look tired. She kept making oatmeal and eggs for people attending the trial. I soon realized that the man on trial was the alleged murderer from my friend’s report. The townspeople had captured him and put him in a wooden cage for his trial. Of course, the jury consisted of people who had been tasked with his capture, so I doubted it was really a fair trial… I ended up inside the cage somehow. When the judge asked what I thought of the man on trial, I said that I figured he was a murderer. He gave me a death glare.

      The judge left to get some supplies to continue cooking. While she was gone, the murderer grabbed me by the throat. I thought I was going to die, but I didn’t really care. I was only distantly aware of any consequences associated with that. The judge came back, and he stopped immediately. She made some kind of omelette topped with cornbread for herself. I was surprised by how good this looked. The trial was put on hold to give her time to eat. In the meantime, the murderer broke out of his wooden cage and escaped.

      Preparing for a Master's Program

      I had just graduated from college. While riding in the back of a white truck somewhere in Europe, I explained to Apheri that I was considering going to Harvard for my master’s degree. They had a school in Belgium I could attend. I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to specialize in, though… I supposed it would be a good idea to figure that out before applying anywhere. Apheri didn’t have any suggestions to offer.

      Mount Khragastag, Dream Bank, and Borders

      In this dream, my dad opened a dream bank on top of Mount Khragastag. It was built on top of a series of towers which were supported by a massive, stone bridge connecting the two halves of the mountain. I used the mountain as a way to improve my acrobatics. I kept jumping off the edge of the mountain and teleporting back to the summit. When I realized I could jump from a higher elevation if I climbed to the top of my dad’s bank, I wasted no time in getting up there. I couldn’t teleport up there until I had placed a tracer of energy on the roof, so I had to climb up the face of the wall first. My dad saw me and asked for my help with something. I told him I would be right back to help him. When I jumped, I realized the side of the mountain I was on wasn’t steep enough to help me with my acrobatics training… I hopped the rest of the way to sea level and circled around the mountain. From the side, it looked like an alligator standing on its hind legs.

      I teleported back up to the bank and walked in to assist my dad. He was submitting forms online for dream accounts. The website was really confusing, and it looked like each form would take him hours to complete. Still, he said he would get $1000 for every dream account he opened. It seemed like a pretty good deal. I told him there wasn’t anything I could do to speed up the process; he would just have to follow the instructions carefully to prevent any wasted time. I ran toward the edge of the mountain and jumped.

      The dream jumped. I was sitting in the grass with Autumn, my mom, and Chelsea. A couple of people were skydiving above us. Instead of parachutes, they had hang gliders. My awareness passed into the perspective of one of the hang gliding women. She kept thinking about how free she was in the air. It was a dreamlike experience for her – one that I was glad I had experienced myself. From her perspective, I could easily see Mount Khragastag looming over the forest. She gradually descended to the ground, weaving her way between the trees. When she landed, my awareness returned to my body. I pointed out the mountain on the horizon and told my mom about the dream bank. She didn’t believe it was really called Mount Khragastag. As I was explaining my dad’s dream bank idea, a significant portion of the bridge connecting the two halves of the mountain exploded. The debris was sucked away into another world. I zoomed in on the image of the bridge and saw a red-eyed creature with brown fur standing on it. It glared hatefully at me. Intuitively, I knew this was the guardian spirit of the mountain.

      The dream jumped. I was shopping at Borders. I observed a conversation between a redneck and one of the employees working at a register. The redneck kept insisting that the employees shouldn’t talk to their customers; they were far too busy to distract themselves like that. Every time the guy at the register agreed with something he said, the redneck guy waggled a finger and warned him not to slack off.

      “I’m gonna buy this Millhouse figurine,” he muttered, patting the Simpsons figurines on display affectionately. He wandered off to look at books. I did the same, although Autumn and I had already spent the majority of the money on the card. We only had a few dollars left. One of my friends picked out some hentai manga. For whatever reason, my dad had to buy it for him… I felt bad for my dad. Surely, he must have felt incredibly embarrassed when the woman at the register saw what he was buying. On our way out of Borders, I asked Autumn about the episode of King of the Hill where Hank is accused of renting pornographic films. I wanted to tell my mom about it. Unfortunately, Autumn wasn’t listening. We headed back to the car together.

    9. 24th Shared Dreaming Attempt - Windhover

      by , 08-28-2011 at 04:24 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Windhover's Dream

      I lifted my dream hand and did nose-plug RC. it was hard to stand up so I sought for help begging "please help me.....grab my hand..." I felt someone grabbing my hand but I couldnt open my dream eyes, so I shouted (in dream) "FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!" then suddenly I was in the dream.

      I opened my room door and walked to the kitchen. I heard my dad saying,
      "hey if you're going outside then at least wear something nice."
      "okay okay dad.."
      I was wearing pajama. I knew it was dream so I tried to ignore him. then my mom said
      "I heard you moaning in the bedroom"
      "was I?"
      "yeah you said please help me grab my hand!"
      I chuckled. I slowly wore my black summer crocs and opened the front door.
      I forgot to take a bus to pyramid. I instead thought taking a taxi. I found some kids getting off from a car and I said
      "hey can you take me to chicen itza pyramid?"
      "I cannot take you unless you have taxi pass"
      I got bit annoyed so I summoned a golden ticket
      "I have this super-ultra-combination-golden ticket for your goddamn taxi!!"
      when he saw my golden ticket he suddenly ran to the taxi, getting ready to take me to the pyramid.

      there were bunch of kids inside the car. the driver was female. she wanted me to sit in the front but the seat was very hard to get in so I just sat at the back.
      this was weird. the driving scene over the windshield was jsut like the game Midtown Madness. the driver went crazy and did road rage in the highway. the taxi was invincible. however I didnt feel any impulse of a car; I just felt like watching a game scene. I asked to the girl sitting next to me,
      "do you know chicenitza pyramid?"
      she shook her head.
      "it's built by mystery Mayans!"

      anyway I got to the pyramid but the dream was unstable and the quality became worse. so I switched my 'sense of touch';sitting in a car to sitting on top of the pyramid. but it was still unstable. I was wearing white cap and black sunglasses. I went down to the ground and I saw this white-furball-creature. I dont recall how it exactly looked like but it was sort of human form and had blue eyes. suddenly I recognized him that he was named 'Zeno'. ??
      then I saw a slightly blond caucasian. he was wearing winter clothes. I asked him
      "are you Katsuno?"
      he did not answer. he was murmuring something so I knew that he was just a DC.
      the dream was getting more unstable. I couldnt summon a beacon on the pyramid so I summoned huge chocolate egg next to the pyramid.
      dream scene jumped. I went into this inn next to the pyramid. my grandmother was in charge of the inn; she was the head of the building. my brother was working in the hotel. I saw some kid running around and I went into a dining room. I saw my brother, Dwight Shcrute next to him, and 'real' Dr. Eggman. Dwight was stealing my brother's tofu stew with his spoon. I got mad shouting
      "you're even mean in the dream!! stop stealing his food, you bad guy!!!"
      so I hit his head with white plastic slab. -__-
      I went into another room. there were,,, unfamiliar people there, and I asked them
      "do you know where Katsuno is?"
      I dont know why, but the people looked funny so laughed out loud. some guys laughed too.
      I woke up at 8:45.

      Aqua's Dream

      I am standing outside on a large balcony. I'm looking up at the sky and I notice that all the stars are moving in tiny circles, some flashing different colors. Suddenly the black night sky turns rainbow and I hear a robotic voice say, "Welcome to the new world." A screen appears in front of me and I have to enter all my personal details.

      Katsuno's Dream

      1st: I dreamed of walking in my street. Suddenly some characters from naruto came and talked to me. Kisame says he wants my head and pulled out his sword. I ran away and suddenly a man with a self-made flamethrower came and helped me. I built my own flamethrower (don't ask me how :O) and tried to shoot him. But my flamethrower was garbage and it shot in a completely different direction and burned a garage. I tried to put out the fire but the garage was made out of wood so it didn't work well. Then Kisame came again and attacked me. I evaded and woke up.

      I remember having another dream and maybe it was shared but I totally forgot it

    12. 23rd Shared Dreaming Attempt - Animus' Dream

      by , 08-28-2011 at 07:33 AM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      AnimusMessor179's Dream

      1) Dungeon like setting. I was chasing after a medium sized fairy, through the stone hallways of the complex. I used telekinesis to stop her then shocked her with electricity.

      2) LUCID. I decide to go ask for general advice from my dreams about my waking life. I am in a bookstore, which I recall is a relatively common place for my dreams. I head into a room, expecting to see a representation of my subconscious inside. If anyone has seen Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, the scene looked like the steam house scene at the start. A tattooed, bald, and bearded asian man rose from a hot bath in the middle of the room, and started to speak to me. "What you need is time." is the only thing I can remember from what he said.

      3) SEMI-LUCID (In my definitions, this means I am aware that is a dream on some level. Normally, this means I play along with the dream and take on whatever character I am as real and true, but without realizing I am. So I am the character, not the player behind him in my words.) I am a dangerous and powerful man. Telekinesis, magic. And enemies seek to prevent me from causing destruction. Earlier in this period, I had avoided killing, even the soldiers trying to capture me. But something changes... A friend of mine (who was a talking dauschaund...) was injured and dying from one of the fights. Despairing, I absorbed him into myself, to prevent any possible suffering from him. The absorption only works in stages though, and in the end I use fire to put him out of his misery.

      I am now on a road, furious and looking for blood. Troops of enemies (I do not recall seeing them actually armed, so troops in the minions sense of the word) are around. Using my mind, I pick up a big rig truck and "hold" it next to me. My hands are in a position like I'm holding a minigun, both clenched into fists about a foot apart in front of me. I fling it off down the road, exploding it as it approaches the men (pulling my hands quickly apart to cause it).

    13. 23rd Shared Dreaming Attempt - Aeolar's Dream

      by , 08-28-2011 at 01:28 AM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Aeolar's Dream

      I am in this hillbilly house that I thought was John's, but I don't think it was now. There is a movie or something similar taking place inside, and the dream kept cutting back and forth between scenes. I am in this bedroom, and everything inside of it is black and white, and I am watching myself in 3rd person. I wasn't in control of myself, I was simply watching as I acted. The scene then changed to another man who is walking into the door of the house.

      He walks up, and sees something on this table. When he walks over to it, there is a card, roses, and chocolates sitting there together. The scene goes back to me in black in white, having the same thing on the bed, and eating the chocolates. Back to the other man doing the same. "I" then walk out of the room and see a potion that that's label says "Boater Man's Potion" on it. I drink it, and walk over to a mirror. Personally, I thought that it would turn my clothes into a boaters outfit, but in the mirror I had a red helmet on, and my regular clothes. "I" was making weird faces in the mirror and pouting my lips.

      Dream skip.
      I am in a school hallway and my German teacher is telling us something.

      ------------------------


      I am with my Mom and her friend Karen, and they want to get a Lamborghini. Mom is telling us that we would be so deep in debt if we crashed the car, which she was sure we would do. I decided to use a dirt bike instead, and started heading out. It was extremely hilly, and I almost fell a few times. I rode in the same direction for a little while and the dream scenery started to change. Buildings were starting to sprout up, and the dirt was covered up by white tiles in the ground, which looked like something from Mirror's Edge.

      I rode through this alleyway, and noticed a big group of people. They were fighting these slow creatures, reminiscent of zombies, but they looked pixellated. None of us had weapons, so we are fighting them with our natural weapons. I went into birds eye view and felt myself holding a controller, just like a fighting game. I was now doing crazy spin kicks, and I had figured out that I had boosters and could use them to fly for a long time. I began to fly up to the north west, and the ground which I was looking at started turning purple.

      I kept going, doing flight combos, and I reached a big river that was pixellated too. I was almost out of boost, and I almost made my way to the other shore line, but I fell into the river, and was eaten by a shark. I heard a narrator say:
      "You feel a River Slime Shark under you. River Slime Shark has eaten you."
      I then respawned back with the group of people, but this time it was our turn to play hunter. There was another group of "survivors" and they are the ones who called the zombies on us. We morphed into these weird creature forms of all different solid colors, mine being purple, that looked kind of like an organic sock monkey.

      We all took off flying really fast to the north north-east, towards a big city. We flew over a bridge, and I heard gunfire and looked over to my left to see a big blinking arrow over a survivors head. I wondered where his friends were, and went up the street to search for them, and when I did, I saw this huge green mech with a "mouth" with spiky teeth. I hurried back and landed, 3 others and myself approached the man, who was currently dealing with a massive zombie horde. I summoned a blue crystalline orb that I threw at the man, and ran up to attack him. I was pulled back by the mech I saw earlier, and almost got eaten by it. I wriggled out of its grasp, and noticed that my normal attacks would be no use against this thing. I touched the foot of the mech, and morphed into one. We began fighting like Rock-em Sock-em Robots.

      We are all Rock-em Sock-em Robots.
