Lucid Time!

I feel like there was much more important stuff happening in the first LD.

I was in my old high school though. Everything was a different color though. I think everything was red even though our school color was blue. I reality checked though I didn't become lucid. I then said something like.

"Well why should I let one failed reality check decide that I am not lucid?!"

There was no glass in the windows of the school, so I just climbed out one and started flying. I was trying to decide on a good goal, and I decided that I should fly to the moon a second time. I looked at the moon in the daytime sky and set my intention.

I started accelerating toward it until the moon began distorting and looking more like a portal. I decided to pass through it and see where it took me. It let me out above a location that had the feel of my university campus, though looked unfamiliar.

I think decided to practice landing, since I am usually not that good at landing. I managed to slowly lower myself onto the pavement. I'm not sure if my fire jets were visible, but I know that I was flying.

...

I remember thinking that I wanted to manifest Manei since I haven't had a good Manei dream in a long time...

...

The next thing I remember was seeing this very modern building covered in metal siding and brick. Nobody seemed to be using it... so .

I flew into one of the walls. I was actually expecting something really lame to happen, like I would just faceplant into the wall. But no, I busted right through the solid wall. I remember looking back from inside and seeing the damaged hole I had made. It was actually very clear and realistic.

I then flew up through the ceiling and made another hole, before looping around and coming to a spot on the wall. I punched into the building, sending cracks spreading up the wall. Little chips of concrete and brick fell on me but the building did not collapse.

...

I was non-lucid, and I was seeing these DCs who built log cabins in the woods. It had something to do with college housing and having to pay less for housing. They had cleared out this huge area and there were hundreds of mini cabins. Students liked this because they were technically free to live in. The only problem was you needed these special unfolding ladders if you wanted to access the upper floors. Some of the cabins were built like stacks that went up, I think five floors at the most.

I was staying at home while my parents were out of town. There was this short middle aged Jewish guy with me who could not walk who I had to take care of. He was sitting on the couch watching TV.

I looked outside on the back of the deck. There were all of these big birds, and there were about a dozen of them. The birds had bright red/orange/yellow feathers and human faces. I told the Jewish guy to come and take a look at this. He couldn't walk, and didn't have a wheelchair. I remember him telling me that he was content to just sort of crawl around on the floor, and that's how he got over to me.

I showed him the birds that had turned into people with the faces that they had as birds. They were all men and only wearing grayish blue swimsuits. They explained that they were a part of some kind of traveling group of people that could turn into birds.

The first guy on the far right was tall, well built and for some reason had really pointy eyebrows. (Don't know why that detail stood out to me.) He started telling me who he was and where he was from. I realized that all of the guys from this group were going to do that eventually. I pulled up two chairs, one for me and one for the Jewish guy and sat and listened intently.

"Hello, I hail from the Guru lands of-"

The dream suddenly shifted. I was in a concrete plaza area in a big futuristic city, and I became semi lucid. The dream was stylized to look like an anime. General Grevious showed up and pulled out all four lightsabers and started coming after me. I pulled out my weapon. My weapon was a scythe that could adapt to any element by sticking the end of the handle into something.

I stuck it into the ground and the handle and blade became made of concrete. I moved in and started fighting, but he cut apart the concrete scythe with his lightsabers. I went in close and touched the little adaptability bit to the blade of one of the lightsabers. The scythe handle transformed and extended out into a really long lightsaber handle, then a green energy blade formed.

We fought for a few minutes. I cut off two of his arms and he tried to run. I chased him and he threw a broken metal pipe at me. I was in third person now and it looked like the pipe had stabbed me in the arm, but when I pulled it out it had just ripped through my shirt. (I had something like Jedi robes on.)

Some battle droids showed up and I started fighting them. I woke up.

Something having to do with my old middle school.


There was also something to do with this chinese girl who was about 10 and learning martial arts. She already had a black belt and was looking into developing her own move-sets and techniques.


The first thing I remember was that I was in my neighborhood when a three adult DCs approached me and told me about some kind of trial to join their order that I was not allowed to refuse. They also told me that I was dreaming.

They tesseracted me to a different plane of existence. I still felt like I was where my neighborhood was, vaguely. But it was just a forest. In place of the main road that circles my neighborhood was just a dirt path. It was a racetrack. Also, it was wintertime, so there were no leaves on the trees and there was a lot of snow on the ground.

The three DCs it seemed would always approach me in a triangular formation. There was a singular woman in the middle with long red hair, who looked to be about 50. The two DCs on the side were both men.

DC #1:"The rules of the trial are simple. It is a three lap race. Cross the finish line before these two racers by any means necessary."

They gestured to two race cars (one red, one blue) about to start in a parking lot.

Le me: "Wait... don't I get a car?"

DC #2 "Aww, wittle baby thinks he needs a car."

DC #3 "No, you don't get a car. We'll give you a five second head start if it makes you feel better."

They continued to taunt me for a few seconds longer. I couldn't help but give a crank-up middle finger to the DCs. DC #2 and #3 looked really confused.

DC #1 "Go, the cars are gonna start!"

I started off running. I then started boost running with my fire jets. I could hear the cars catching up behind me. I tried resetting my fire jets, but they always came up tiny. I was still moving at about thirty miles an hour, but as you all know, for a race car, that isn't a lot.

I thought I could start flying, but this was the exact same way that I flew, and chances are, I wouldn't go much faster than this. By keeping my feet in the ground, I didn't have to worry about three-dimensional movement.

We rounded the first turn.

The dream lost clarity and I was on a bike. I was back in my own neighborhood. I then saw the bike was heading straight for a brick archway that went across the road, with a smaller portal for a sidewalk on each side. The bike suddenly felt very tall, and I felt like I was going hit the top of the arch. I put my arms out and managed to stop an embarrassing face-plant into the wall.

I got up and ran under the archway (I didn't have to duck to fit, that's how tall my bike had become.) I was about to start up my fire jets again when this fat guy came out of nowhere and I ran into his stomach.

I apologized and kept going. I then nearly ran into a little girl riding a pink bicycle and had to stop running again. I felt like I was inside my middle school now.

It was at this point that I just sat down and told myself there was no point in trying to race these guys. The dream was just going to frustrate me to no end. I gave up.

I was somehow teleported back to an observing spot near the finish line. The three DCs were there.

...

Something to do with Bruce Banner turning into the hulk and trying to get into the race late.

...

I was watching the cars go round on their first lap from the same spot. Then it hit me. (Sort of like that brick wall hit me back in the race.)

Me: "So, wait a second, I have to win this race by any means necessary? Anything goes?"

DC #1 "Yeah... do whatever you have to."

Me: "Maybe I have a shot after all."

I jumped into the air and landed in the middle of the dirt racetrack, on the final curve before the finish line. I could hear the two cars coming about for their final lap. The red car came around first.

I used earthbending to cause a large brown boulder to come up under it. It flew off the track. Before it could hit the ground, I made a gray rock column smack it higher and farther away. The car exploded in mid-air a few seconds after being hit by the pillar.

The other car came around. I tried to earthbend another boulder but the driver evaded in time. She got closer and I tried to do another boulder but she dodged that one too and went past me. I changed strategies. I manifested a black metal bow and three arrows.

I could see three tires as the car turned into the final stretch. I thought of the Lars Anderson archery video and fired all three of them in quick succession, trying to take out all three tires. I missed the front one, but the two back ones were out. The driver swerved off and swung round. Her car (initially a blue race car) was now a black Hummer.

I guess she picked up on the whole no-rules thing because she was coming at me, trying to run me over. I jumped into the air and pushed off the radiator on the front of the car. It still sent be backwards. I did a flip and a twirl to see that I was headed for a chain-link fence. I tried to picture myself coming down and landing on it.

I saw a blue monochrome virtual-reality cutaway view of the car, fence and my own body in flight, along with all of these calculations being made. It said that my momentum backwards would cause me to fall off and that I had to magnetize my shoes.

I landed on top of the fence. I then manifested another bow and shot a single arrow into the hood of the car, stopping the engine. The driver got out. I was surprised to see that it was an old woman wearing a yellow dress. (Kind of a generic grandma image.) She took a fighting stance and did a kung-fu leap into the air.

"Great, looks like it's time for this tonight's' random high-octane martial arts fight sequence..."

I jumped down off the fence. Somehow or other we were in a ~50' Square area completely surrounded by chain-link fence with nothing but grass in the middle.

Grandma:"You know who you're dealing with, little boy?"

Me:"You're one to talk, Grandma!"

Grandma:"I've baked cookies bigger than you!"

Me:"Hey, that is clearly racist against cookies everywhere!" (man, my dialogue was all over the place last night...)

The first couple times that we moved in on one another, any attack was either blocked or avoided and we quickly backed off, trying to judge each others' fighting styles. The fourth time though we actually moved into a long sequence, where it turned out we were roughly equals. It was just a long sequence that I thought about trying to remember. (That's how I know I was fully lucid here, because I was planning what I was going to take back with me.)

It ended with me doing this strange move that defied the laws of physics where I somehow flipped her using my legs and sent her flying upside-down into the fence. As I was doing this move she asked me

"What!? What master taught you thiiisss?!?!"

After she hit the fence and fell down.

"I don't know, I just kind of... made it up..."

I got the dream ending feeling, and the dream started going dark. The three DCs from before approached me.

DC #3:"Should we tell him?"

*garbled*

DC #1:"You passed our test!"

A visual of somebody's eye color changing from green to a dull blue.

Me: "Great, now could you please tell me-"

-wakes up-

"...what you were testing me on?"

Afternoon nap:

There was some dream about trying to decide on colleges. I was walking between them. It was nighttime and also very cold/snowing. Supposedly some of the colleges taught applicants magic and stuff.

I remember running into this fat guy who was trying to sell me soggy waffles out of a big pot.

Okay... you see this is why I'm not really that into dream food...

Bedtime:

Somebody wrote a play involving Me, Manei and Jack. The play was terrible, and all of the characters were mispotrayed. The actor that played Jack was played by this huge hulking brute of a man who would yell all of his lines. The actor that played Manei was this old fat lady wearing a swimsuit, and the actor that played me was a boy who was about 10 years old with a horrible bowl cut and a huge backpack.

The play (It was sort of like a movie actually) was like a typical family drama type thing. My character went to school and he got a bad grade and got bullied. Jack's character went to work where he worked in some kind of cubicle job where his boss would come and yell at him. I can't remember what Manei's character did. I then remember Jack's character yelling at mine for getting a bad grade at school.

Manei and I were actually in the audience and we were complaining about how much our characters sucked.

There was some scene involving going to an old gas station. (The actors drove around in an old red minivan) My character was whining because he wanted to buy a Gatorade. Jack-actor told him to grow a pair and deal with the fact that he was thirsty, while the Manei actor was in the background trying to go into the bathroom but she was too fat and couldn't fit through the door.


Then this character named the mask got added into the play, and she stole the show. She was this girl with long white hair, red eyes, a ninja mask, black hoodie and a beanie hat. She ended up kidnapping my character and taking him offstage in a canvas bag while Manei and Jacks' characters pretended to be distracted.

Stage hands began moving all of the props and stuff off the stage. The mask character walked back on stage carrying a microphone, boombox and a wooden stool and put the stool in the middle of the stage and sat on it. She then admitted that she was actually Dawn. (big surprise ) He took the fake boobs out of his shirt and started doing this stand-up comedy routine. Everyone was cheering him on.

Something to do with being on the beach. There was a cat with me who kept getting wet by the waves. He/she seemed to actually enjoy it really. I became semi lucid, and since the cat seemed to enjoy getting wet I started waterbending more waves at him/her.

...

There was some other portion of the dream about being on the beach. I remember putting my hand in the water in one of the tide pools and feeling the water. It was really odd because the water was mostly very warm, but there were these little clear ice balls in the water (Hailstones?). I remember picking a few of them out with my hand and feeling them. I tried to melt them with the heat in my hand but they seemed to radiate cold, and I couldn't melt it with my body heat.

Supposedly they were eggs to some kind of fish or bird that lived in the ocean and they absorbed their energy through heat and therefore became very cold and had a layer of ice on the outside.

...

I was out in the mountains on what felt like the same tropical island. It was some kind of tourist destination where you could hike on these concrete stairs and platforms and observe the various plant life and ancient ruins present on the island.

I remember looking down and out at the beach. There were a couple of small popcorn storms out to sea.

I had climbed to the top of the mountain alone (It was a long hike and the air got thin.) The highest platform you could go to was between two spire-like mountains. I was there and I decided I wanted to go back down to ground level really fast. I turned around and ran and jumped down aiming to land on the bottom platform and skip all the stairs.

But the stairs were steep, and My jump carried me farther than I expected, right off the edge of the mountain. I'm not sure if it was the floaty gravity or the falling to my death that did it, but something made me become lucid. (It wasn't a very clear lucidity though, probably due to my lack of practice...)

I started flying straight down, going through a cloud layer to the bottom layer of the island, and then pulled up flying low over the level part of the island. On it were these huge pine-cone shaped temples covered in vines and growth. Some of them had collapsed. I pulled down and did a barrel roll, flying between two of them (one collapsed leaning into the side of one still standing.)

I had made it to the other side of the island. I was pretty close to the spot where I had seen the ice fish eggs in the water. I remember going up very high above the mountains. I saw the dream make a mistake with scale. There was another island out past the one I was hovering above. It was about the same size but only had one palm tree on it, that if accurately scaled to the island I had been on would have been several miles tall.

I decided to ignore it. I flew in low and slow in a river valley of the island. The river was separated into all of these pools that flowed down from one to another in little waterfalls. I then noticed that in the middle of the island there was a volcano. It was rather big, low and flat, with a wide magma pool on top, and occasionally it would explode into a cloud of ash and smoke and lots of little lava bombs would come out and start fires in the jungle.

I flew up above the volcano and decided to stop it from erupting. I thought of Avatar and how Airbenders can make a cold breath to freeze lava/fire. I tried this, but it did not work. I then tried moving my hands and willing the lava to freeze. It started working, from the edges of the crater inward to the middle the lava froze, leaving just a few cracks in the surface where the lava showed through.

Once that was done, I decided to fly somewhere else, but when I started to move, I shot backwards and down into one of the temples. I found myself deep underground in a dungeon/cave. There was a bar or tavern kind of set up down here. It reminded me of the Winking Skeever from Skyrim, but nobody was there.

I got a bad vibe and decided to teleport out. I willed myself to teleport back to the surface. I found myself underneath a tile floor. I broke up and lifted myself out of the floor (Teleportation Mistake I guess...)

I some how wound up back on top of the twin peaks mountain where the concrete platform was, but I was inside a beautiful oriental building where there had simply been a concrete platform. I don't know how I knew I was at that location, Just a feeling the dream gave me.

I went to the door of the building. I knew that when I opened it I would see the steep staircase that I had tried to jump down before. I then realized that the dream was probably going to end up taking me someplace else, someplace less pleasant that the island. I then told myself that I wouldn't care what I saw when I opened the door.

"I don't care what's on the other side of the door, I'll enjoy it."

I woke up

"...and you found the one exception..."

I haven't posted in like a week. Foul recall everywhere. Anyways, I had a decent lucid come out of nowhere last night.

Some dream about space pirates who we were fighting. They had caputred our ship and imprisoned us in this big black fortress base on an ice planet. I remember getting into one of the gun turrets and destroying these fuel silos that caused the whole base to start burning.

Our ship managed to escape. It was this big zepplin-looking thing with all of these little white triangle shaped planes attached to the outside. They started to detach from our main ship and attack the pirate base.

-(Unintentional) WBTB-

I was with S on my university campus. We were walking around when someone approached us claiming to be Manei, though she was short and had blonde hair. We kind of brushed her off at first but she started following us. We started to run away from her and went into the men's restroom. She even followed us in there.

"Dude, is this girl seriously trying to get with me?"

"Doubt it. She's been chasing me for years, why should she start going for you all of the sudden?"

...

I was outside running along the parking lot. It was a bright, clear summer day. (Contrasting the nightmare that was about to unfold.) The DC appeared again.

"Come with me, I have everything Manei has, I'm even good at archery!"

"The real Manei doesn't know archery..."

This was the first time I looked closely at her face. One eye had nothing in it, was just white. Her teeth were yellow and rotten, and wrinkles galore. (I know you're not supposed to judge based on looks, but-...ughh)

There was some legitimate explanation that I had from the real Manei that this was like an aspect of herself that she had created to separate out some of her flaws and insecurities.

I started to walk off.

"You're doing a really bad job of impersonating her with that skin... If you did your homework you would know she has black hair and darker skin."

I saw her head spin around her neck. When it came back around it looked really disturbing. She had a sort of mask of her face, but it sagged in places, notably around the eyes. Her hair color changed, and her skin tone got darker, but didn't quite match the mask.

I also sensed her energy. It was weak, but it was dark and rancid.

"Now, you won't hurt a face like this will you..."

"I've had enough of this!"

I jumped into the air and started flying. I remember seeing my red fire jet this time. (Hey, where were you last time?) Wind began to form a tornado around me, blowing some leaves around me. I manipulated the winds and picked up a couple of cars from the parking lot and got ready to throw them at her. I also made an air shield around me.

Her mask blew off, revealing her original face. I remember she tried to throw these little throwing stars at me. I dodged a few of them. (The wind sheild didn't block them.) One of them hit me in the shoulder though, but I didn't feel anything. I fought back by throwing one of the cars, but she jumped out of the way and threw another throwing star.

"Leave my dreams and never come back!"

I sent the other three cars down on her, one after the other. Three direct hits. I saw her get crushed, but when I threw them aside, no body. I lost the dream due to emotion (I was mad) and woke up.

Well I guess after four days of consecutive lucidity, I burned myself out. My dream recall dropped off the face of the earth, not only because of burnout but waking life reasons. I should get back on track very shortly. I can start by telling you about last nights dream, even though it was non lucid.

-Something to do with Manei appearing. She was bald and had elf ears and vampire fangs. (Still working on keeping that appearance steady, I see...)

Manei cropped up a couple of other times that I can recall. I recall in a boring dream, I got texted a picture of her.

I remember seeing her on my Skype contacts as well as a member on Dreamviews.

I also recall seeing her on a Minecraft server. She was however registered under the name 'Jade'. Her character looked like my dream self and seemed to be twitching. I think Herobrine appeared.


I was on the forums. There was this newcomer who had registered under the name Bulldog29. He was avidly learning the ropes of lucid dreaming and very excited, but he did come off as rather annoying at times.

He started a thread called the 'Dreamviews Veurses Series' where he would analyze lucid dreamers' abilities and have dreamers of similar ability fight one another in set-up fights. He would do one each week. I remember:

Dreamer vs OpheliaBlue

Hyu vs WakingNomad

OnieronautZero vs Auron

there were many others, but the one that I remember actually taking the time and reading was the one that was me vs DawnEye11. I was looking through the thread, and there were a lot of people complaining that it was wildly inaccurate. I couldn't even find the OP's post to find out who won.

I remember a post by Sageous who was absolutely livid and spouting profanity that Dreamviews had come to this. His post was written in big font all capital letters. I can't remember the wording but he was talking about how dreamers shouldn't be made into pointless deathmatches and that this destroyed everything that Dreamviews stood for.

The content of this LD isn't particularly interesting. I'm just very excited about the fact that this is the fourth night in a row that I have tasted lucidity.

I was actually telling myself that I didn't want to LD last night to avoid burning myself out.

I was back in middle school. I remember being a different person entirely in this dream, I was from another country or something. I was always made fun of for being the new kid from out of town and I couldn't speak English very well.

I remember that because of some religious reason I had to eat these weird beans that had caused me to poop my pants during class. Though the first part of the dream that I recall was actually being in a bathroom stall. There was no toilet though, and I was still simply pooping into my pants that had taken on a bucket shape.

The bathroom stall door opened and the entire school was outside, including the teachers and the girls who all started laughing at me at once. This had something to with the being-a-character-in-a-story dream sign.

...

The next thing I knew I was lucid and flying. I remember teasing the school principal by flying up behind him. I was teasing him and he yelled at me saying that flying wasn't allowed at school.

I flew out of the second story window and over a large park/town area. I did a nose pinch RC just to cement my lucidity. (I love how I always do the nose pinch after I'm already lucid.)

I remember I was making this fwssssh sound with my mouth, doing my own sound effect for the flying. I figured I should stop because I might be making that sound in my sleep and waking up my parents IWL. But making that sound was the only way for me to continue flying.

Eventually I started descending, when a dream character jumped into the air, grabbed me by the leg and whacked me onto the ground. It didn't hurt at all but I was still surprised.

He tried to stomp on me, I rolled away. I started to get up and he tried to stomp again.

"This guy is good!"

I managed to get up and start fighting the dream character for a few seconds before waking up.

That midday nap yesterday kinda threw me off. I got some lucidity in though.

I was playing Minecraft digging a long tunnel deep underground, I think it was 3x3. I usually dig 3x3 access tunnels to my mines to this was not out of the ordinary. I wasn't placing any torches, but there were some places where I had mined into lava lakes and that produced some light.

I ended up mining into a large cave. I remember taking out two pickaxes and using them to climb the wall of the cave to get up onto another level. I started mining some of the ores when Sokka (from Avatar) shows up and starts yelling at me and giving me this really freaked out expression because I'm not mining properly.

He vanished or fell into some lava.

...

I appeared outdoors. I had no sense of where I was at first. Somebody (not me) said.

"We're on the night side of the planet. The sun will be coming up in a few minutes."

I looked up in the sky. There was this huge yellow-brown Venus planet and this smaller earth planet in the sky.

...

I arrive in some kind of basement or hideout. I feel like I'm still on the dark side of whatever planet I was on before, but now I'm underground. I'm also lucid for one reason or another. I remember the room being dark and having one table and two chairs. The only light is a single bulb hanging from a chain.

Manei is there, wearing what was by far her weirdest outfit yet. It looked like armor made out of a shiny silver metal with a scaled metal skirt.

"Okay... that looks seriously uncomfortable..." I remember thinking to myself.

I remember thinking of my old dream goal that I wanted to give her a headband, and that I wanted to follow up on that or hadn't done it or something. (Facepalms all around, I did that over 6 months ago...)

So for whatever reason, I decided that this time I was gonna make her a necklace. I found a copper chain, but that alone isn't really a necklace. I put it in my hand and closed my fist and tried to picture it becoming something more fashionable. What came out... uh... art skills, go!



"Ugh. I didn't meant to put my emblem on this time. If I wasn't so egotistical this wouldn't keep happening."

She took it and seemed really happy. But then when she put it on it somehow converted into a heavy metal collar and she started freaking out. I looked away from her and looked back and it was normal. (Gosh darn it I try do something nice and this ends up happening.)

"Sorry. I don't know what that was about."

...

There was some other part of this dream where I was flying. I was still on the dark barren planet, but there was one small square of green grass.

-WBTB-

I was leaving my Taekwondo studio along with my cousins. It was night time and I saw a female Darth Vader standing on top of one of the street lights. Yes, that's right. A perfect Vader, but with a female body.

She threw a smoke bomb and yellow smoke went everywhere. It smelled really bad as well. My aunt told everyone to walk in a line until we got out of the smoke. Everyone in the family got into a line except me. There were a couple random people that I didn't recognize at the end of the line.

I saw a light-saber blade appear out of the smoke and heard people getting cut and dying. Darth Vader was killing everyone in the line starting in the back. I told everyone to run.

Everyone ran away and the smoke cloud cleared away. I told them to run and I would fight. I was already semi-lucid. I saw a bunch of light-sabers in a pot in the landscaping of the parking lot. (Convenient...) I called one to me using the force. It was a double ended blue lightsaber. I turned it on.

We started fighting with lightsabers. After only a couple of strikes to one another, our lightsabers became toys with plastic blades. We threw them aside and started fighting in hand to hand combat.

I remember running at Vader and flipping her. She hit a wall. We exchanged a couple of punches and kicks; I dodged most of them. I tried flipping her again. This time she fell on the pavement. She staggered up. I kicked her back into the wall and then kicked her again in the face, causing her mask to crack. I didn't get to see who it was though.

...

It was daytime now. I was riding in the minivan with my cousins. They wanted to watch an avatar episode on the little TV that drops down from the top of the Minivan.

The episode was called 'Fat Zuko' and it was about what you would expect. Zuko becomes the fire lord and he becomes lazy and fat because he doesn't have to fight any more. Then he gets attacked by Aang and tries to run away but gets stuck in a narrow doorway and captured by the Avatar.

-WBTB-

I remember getting a tour of this multi level concrete building that looked sort of like a parking garage. except there were crops and flowers on all the levels. I was told it was eight stories tall, but I think it was only about five. I remember there was this pulley with all of these giant buckets on it. They reminded me of the buckets you see when you go to splash parks and they slowly fill then every once in awhile they pour.

The buckets would get pulled up linked to a mechanical system powered by wind turbines. When they got to the top and poured out the water would trickle down and water all of the plants in the structure.

Somebody was telling me how it was a new and environmental way of farming that used less space and energy. They said that it even worked for growing trees. They showed me this greenhouse section where they were growing oak trees inside. They said that they had to wait until the tree had a house-mass of wood. This meant that when you cut down the tree you would have enough wood to build a standard sized house.

The DC who had created it. (Marcus... this sounds like something Marcus would come up with...) showed me that all of the plants and trees were genetically engineered and grew withing weeks rather than months. The trees were also engineered to grow in about a month.

I remember also changed the genes of the trees so that the wood was bright orange colored so that loggers and mill workers would know instantly that it was from genetically engineered trees. Also, the wood was better looking that way, and furniture and decorating companies wanted to buy it more.

At the end of the dream I got shown to my 'Houselet'. It was essentially a miniature one room house with just a bed and a TV (no bathroom) built in a very nice natural setting in the mountains. My only complaint was that there was no bathroom

I fell asleep around 4:00 and woke up around 7:00. Daytime naps almost NEVER yield lucidity, so this was a pleasant surprise.

I was walking along the bus circle outside the middle school I used to go to. Wham! Lucidity comes out of nowhere. I remember thinking I wanted to do the next Task of the Month. I saw it in one of ~Dreamer~ 's entries. The task being to control one of the four elements.

I knew that fire would be ideal since I already know how to get a flame going, or so I thought. I put my arms down to my side and jumped. "Flying on!" I was away. Moving at maybe 20 or 30 miles per hour 20 or 30 feet off the ground. I looked down to see that I was projecting no fire out of my hands or feet though. I was just moving along through the air by some other means.

I looked back up and saw that I was going to hit the side of the middle school. I put my hands out in front of me and reverse-trusted with whatever invisible energy I was using to propel myself. I stopped going forward and started descending. It took some careful maneuvering but I was able to set myself down gracefully.

To the dream's very little credit, there was one really cool moment here. I remember as I was getting close to the ground the leaves began spinning around me in two circles rotating in opposite directions, in much the same way you sometimes see those mini tornadoes of leaves sometimes in the autumn or summer.

I remember thinking to myself how when I fly, I don't always land properly. Sometimes I just cut the power and let myself fall into the general vicinity of where I want to be, allowing my invincible dream body to tank whatever damage that would cause. So a good, proper landing like this is something I don't usually wind up with.

I tried to create fire. I remembered a very early lucid dream (not in this DJ) when I was experimenting and building my flying technique. I would open and close my hand and every time there was this little cone of fire. I tried to repeat that. I felt the downward thrust generated by the flame, but no flame itself. Not even a spark.

The school bell rang and a bunch of DCs started to come outside. I remember one of them being this absolutely huge person (both in terms of height and girth) with long black hair and pale skin who was about 8 feet tall. He had a really loud deep voice.

"What's up?"

"What's up. Would you happen to have a lighter I could borrow for a second? I'm trying to... never mind."

"Naw, man! What's up?"

"What's... up?"

"See ya later man. Bye!"

"...bye?"

I think I asked a couple of other DCs if they had a lighter or a match that I could use to get a flame going. The other DCs just said no or ignored me.

I remember there was this balcony cafe type setting built into the side of the middle school. There is no cafe there IWL and it actually took away a big chunk of the second story of the school. I didn't fly up, but I did a sort of super jump, taking advantage of dream super-strength as well as well as the low gravity.

I bounded up onto the balcony. I then started flying from there again. I decided I wanted to leave this location entirely. After all, for all my hatred of my middle school, burning it to the ground might be a bit... well evil. I started to fly. The dream tried to shoot me backwards during my takeoff, but I caught it.

I started going up, but ceiling out about 50 feet off the ground. I tried putting more power behind my flight pushing straight up. It was soft barrier and for moments I could spring up to about twice my height, I would then get pushed back down.

"Come on... this is my dream! It's just a train of thought that I'm experiencing while asleep. There are no limitations, especially not one as lame as a fifty-foot flying barrier."

All of the sudden, I got the dream ending feeling. I thought for the first time that I couldn't remember when I went to sleep. (Because the nap had thrown off my sleep cycle.) I then realized that it shouldn't matter. I should DEILD.

"I'll just drop back in somewhere else!"

It didn't work. I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep.

I finally completed this goal and now I can't remember most of the dream.

Though I do seem to actually be leveling out in nightly lucidity. I think the past four nights have all involved me attaining full lucidity for some amount of time. The funny thing is, I'm not even trying all that hard at LDing right now.

Anyways my goal was to meet up with my old dream guardian, Jack and either make friends with him or get him to permanently leave my dreams.

I remember being in my high school math classroom from senior year. Manei was there along with several other faceless dream characters. There was no teacher, the classroom looked like it was quiet study time or something.

She came up to me and pulled out this picture of Dawn she had printed on a card. In the picture, Dawn was laying across a table. He wasn't wearing any shirt and he had a cigarette in his mouth but wasn't smoking it. He had this really bored/unamused expression. Eye was leaning into the frame as well and had this really confused expression.

She tried to explain; using the picture as a visual aid (I don't see how that picture was of any help.) that the reason that me and Jack didn't get along was not because of any of the superficial reasons that I could come up with, but rather a lack of need. I don't need a dream guardian because I'm already more than capable of defending myself.

She went on to explain how the opposite is true with DawnEye11. She knows full well how to be emotionally intuitive and figure out solutions to problems in dreams, but sometimes has difficulty defending herself when danger arises. I be the opposite.

There was some other argument that she made as well...

"You do not admit it, always say you want to do everything alone, but you work better with partner. Not slave, not boss, but equal. If person bossy and dominant, you get very frustrated and fight them, like with Jack. If person submit to you always, like I did before, you feel too bad, no use power and boss them around. Thats what I here for. Be your equal."

(She worded it something close to this. Not an exact quote, just doing my best backwards Manei-talk.)

...

I remember being on what felt like a spaceship or space station. It also gave school vibes. I was looking for Jack in this long hallway with all of these doorways leading into little bedrooms. I found him in one of the rooms. He was playing Hunie Pop. He got really embarrassed and closed it out the computer.

...

I was talking with Jack and reading a list of reasons that I had wrote in my notebook for why he should be friends with me. I feel like I read the list two or three times.

In the end, he was about to walk out. We high-fived and I told him he was welcome to come back if he was ever needed, but that if he stayed around too much, us disagreeing was going to be an inevitability.

I false awoken. I was in a savannah area and I was naked. I then became this cartoon worm character and I was really hungry. I feel like I still had a little bit of lucidity.

...

There was some weird alternate part to the dream that I can't fit anywhere. I remember telling Jack that if he wanted a girlfriend he could have this: I then manifested a projection of the girl I crushed on in high school. It worked for both of us because he had someone that he could be with now, and I could let go of someone I was never going to get to be with anyway.

I think I might listen to ~Dreamer~ and try the TOTMs this month now that all my personal goals are out of the way. It will be good to work on some less demanding tasks while I work on building lucidity and recall a little bit more. I feel like my lucidity hasn't been quite as clear as it should be.

I was painting in Photoshop. I had this really weird stylized piece of Manei and myself riding some kind of hovering motorcycle together.


So quite an entertaining semi lucid dream. I was backpacking in the remote mountains with the hippie character from the Avatar episode the cave of two lovers, Cyborg from Teen Titans and my dream guide. Gives you an idea of what caliber dream we are dealing with today.

I remember when we were first heading out into the mountains we rode this gondola over the terrain. The hippie guy wasn't with us at this point. I remember talking with Manei. For some reason I was telling her how as a kid, I was really skinny and why that sucked. (Even though when I was a kid I used to have quite a bit of chub.) I said the worst was going to sporting events because there was too much food.

...

Now apparently in this dream, 'Backpacking' didn't mean that you took a backpack full of stuff into the wilderness. It meant that you all carried one another. So we were all walking around in a big stack. Cyborg was on the bottom, Manei was in the middle and I was on top. It was nice not having anybody on my shoulders but I kept hitting my head on tree branches and stuff.

It was then that the hippie character from avatar showed up. He told us he knew a way for us to get to our campsite a lot faster. And how did we get there? By going through the cave of two lovers of course.

We all walk together for a time and sing the song.

He shows us where the entrance to the cave is. The entrance looks like that of an Egyptian temple or tomb (strange because we were in the middle of the woods...). There was some kind of puzzle to get in where I had to push this big black box that read Azroth Char-Cole into the side of the wall. I pushed it with my hiking stick, and it was a good thing too because a trap blade fell down and cut it off.

The door mechanism activated and the door opened. Behind it was a narrow catwalk leading through a very deep room full of wires and pipes.

"What the heck... I thought this was like an ancient temple? Why is there all this technology?"

We walked through this room and found ourselves outside. We were in a meadow where wheat or some kind of golden yellow grass was growing everywhere. There was a train track with a train caboose moving along slowly, and a single lone abandoned farmhouse on top of a nearby hill.

The sky was gloomy and dark, and there was fog everywhere. Somebody who wasn't me remarked about how something seemed off about this place.

I somehow manifested this suitcase. When I threw it on the ground it transformed in about the coolest way possible into this steampunk mechanical train conductor. I wanted to use him for information about the place we were in.

"Hey, is that train dangerous?"

"Go ahead and put three fingers on the track! All trains are dangerous!"

Cyborg lunged at me and tried to attack me and then just disappeared in mid air. He re appeared near me and stopped trying to attack me.

I then became fully lucid.

"Wait a second, I didn't even like this episode! Why am I dreaming about it? And I don't want to have to kiss someone to get out of here."

I lost the dream and woke up.

I remember becoming lucid and some stuff happening, a few minutes went by. I think I was inside my own house for most of it.

I only remember the conclusion of the lucid dream where I went outside in my neighborhood. I saw two moons in the sky and they both had cracks filled with magma running across the surface. I decided I wanted to fly to them. I started flying. I knew that I had flown to a nearby moon/planet before so this shouldn't be too difficult. However, I lost the dream. I tried to stabilize and come back lucid, but I woke up instead.

-WBTB, woke up for potty-

I had a dream that I was a character in a comedy movie that my parents were watching called 'Gregory gets drunk'. (Funny that isn't my name IWL or in a dream.) I was actually a little kid named gregory in the dream. This caused me to be partially lucid, that coupled with the fact that I knew I was a character and not a real person.

The bad guy made me wear this helmet that caused my consciousness to be dissonant from time and took me into the future where I was an adult, but still the same person. He then forced me to drink this alcoholic beverage, some kind of fruity soda that had whiskey in it. I started feeling woozy and clumsy and started bumping into things around the house. The house was the same as my house as a kid and the same as my waking life house.

The bad guy wanted to put the helmet back onto me so that he would send me back to being a little kid and then I would be drunk as a child. This had something to do with a ploy to get someone in trouble. But he couldn't get the helmet back on me because I was all loopy and running around.

Toward the end of the dream, I ended up going blind and having to make my way around on sense of touch alone. I started to become more lucid as time went on, too.

Before this I had a dream that my family was really rich and my dad was secretly a mad scientist. The dream ended with this car chase.

There was also something to do with me trying to hide a bunch of stuff inside an oven. This part of the dream repeated over and over.

...

Something to do with Asokah Tano (apologies if I butchered that spelling.) from the Star Wars TV series.

...

I was in my subdivision. I had this 'toy' rocket ship that could be controlled with this wand remote control. The rocket ship had three engines and wings on the sides along with a pointy nose-cone and a camera dome on top, sort of like a mini cockpit. I could control it by pressing a button and waving the wand around.

I was flying it around but I kept crashing it by accident. At one point, I tried to land it but the pointy nose cone went through someone's garage door and punched a little hole about an inch wide.

I decided it was best to put the thing away before the neighbors saw and got me in trouble so I carried it home. When I got to the front door I put it down and started asking where I got this thing. I said to myself something like:

"Wait a second, I know for a fact that I don't have this toy. So why am I playing with it like it is nothing? I should reality check."

I did a nose pinch RC. I became lucid. I then started hearing my friend S's voice asking if I was there. I asked him where he was. He said that he was on a skype call but had been away for awhile. I told him that I was in a lucid dream. He got really excited saying that I was talking to him through a Skype call in a lucid dream.

I walked inside my house, but I told myself that I would arrive somewhere else when I opened the door, I just saw the front room of my house. I ran a couple of circles around the interior of my house but everything still stayed the same.

I told S that I was going to try and dream spin. Normally I don't have a lot of luck with dream spinning, but it was worth a try here. I spun around in the front room of my house and everything went black. I just saw a mucky haze of reddish colors and heard some quiet sounds.

I found myself floating in the middle of a lake. S asked what I was seeing. I told him I saw some trees, houses and that I was in a lake. S then said that he was bored and was going to get going. I heard the Skype call sign out sound and he was gone. I remember being kind of happy that he was gone, now I could just concentrate on my lucid dream.

I propelled myself across the surface of the water and came up onto the shore of the lake. I looked around. Just a newly-built neighborhood. There was a dirt path leading into the woods and a bunch of trees had been cut to make room for the new houses. I remember looking at the log piles and seeing that the trunks had been cut into really short flat discs, only a few inches thick. I was wondering why the workers might have done this.

I decided I would fly. "Fire Jets On!" I'm going. I remember as I got above the trees. (They didn't have any leaves or anything. I think it was early spring.) I saw this big red sand dune with a few small rock towers on top. I then noticed that it looked like the sky was getting closer in the wrong kind of way.

"Is that a skybox?"

I hit the wall shoulder first ready for an impact.

"Yep, there's a skybox."

I landed on top of the red sand hill. I looked back and saw the other three walls of the skybox, containing the houses, the lake from before, the dirt road and the leafless forest.

I still wanted a way out of here. I remember seeing a blanket with a whole bunch of large quartz crystals laying out on it. I then figured that the next logical thing to do was to try and break the skybox. I picked up one of the largest crystals. It was about 3" wide and a foot long.

I had the inkling that it wouldn't work, and I was really just doing it as a joke. I held the crystal high in the air.

"By the power of this Crystal, I will destroy the evil Skybox. Excalibur!"

I heard a humming sound that grew louder and louder and then climaxed with a glass breaking sound and the sun/lights went out. (Oops, shorted out the lights.) But there was still light. I brought the crystal down and it was glowing in a bluish white color.

The glow slowly faded away from the crystal, but I tried to send more power to it and make it start glowing once more. I no longer felt like I was in the sky-box room, but rather my bedroom. I tried to turn on the lights but they seemed broken too.

I decided to see how bright I could make the crystal glow. I held it with both hands and tried to push as much power as I could into it. It started glowing really bright. Then, all of the sudden it went dark. I saw all of the little cracks and imperfections in the crystal had gone away.

Then the light came back to the crystal with this flame ignition sound effect. There was a little blue sun inside the crystal that didn't fade or die away. It stayed there. The light refracted out of the crystal like a prism into a rainbow of colors around the room.

"Disco Rave!"

I got bored with the dream or was simply pulled into my false awakening.

False awakening. I saw that my laptop was at the foot of my bed and Skype was open. I closed it up and went back to sleep hoping the dream could continue, but it did not.

Before the first WBTB was a pretty dry and unclear semi-lucid. I recall something having to do with an evil dream character making spikes appear and killing my cats and family. I became partially lucid, to the point of not caring because I knew for one reason or another that what was happening was not a part of reality.

-WBTB-

The second dream was really long. I remember my friend S's comic characters being involved. (But I cant give names or tell what they did at the risk of spoiling his comic. Not that I remember much of it anyway.)

...

I was in a neighborhood with one of my college suite-mates. Someone started yelling that we should look at the sky because he saw a jet figher plane. I looked up and saw a small plane fly over followed by a whole squadron of big, slow moving green bombers.

Someobody was shouting that the United States was under attack by another country. The bomb bays on the planes opened and bombs started falling out. I said to my suite-mate that we should try to find a shelter or basement to hide in.

But before the bombs hit the ground they all began morphing into all of these different random things. One of the bombs turned into Santa's Sleigh. Another one turned into a Unicorn. I just remember a lot of colors, and all of the bombs-turned-random things shot off in random directions.

Somebody started getting really excited because they thought that it was the spiritual awakening where magic had returned to world, and all that they had foredcasted and all of the things that had appeared from the bombs were the changes in the world that they had brought about.

I did a nose-pinch reality check and became lucid. I told the dream character I was sorry, there wasn't some kind of spiritual awakening, but rather just my lucid dream. The dream character got really mad with me.

...

I was at a train station, but there was no train tracks. This little futuristic pod came along where the train tracks should have been. The door opened indicating I was supposed to get on. But when I tried to walk in closer the door closed partway and a force field projected through it.

The voice of the DC from earlier started talking and was apparently very mad with me for ruining everything for him and telling him that it was just my dream. He told me that I wasn't allowed onto the train until I had an imagination again.

-WBTB-

The third time I fell asleep didn't yield any dreams.

I wish I had more hands so I could give this dry spell more than two middle fingers at a time.

The dream started off with me in my backyard doing random things and became lucid. I might have actually become lucid because I saw a small Chinese girl wearing a school uniform and walking across the surface lake behind my house. I also remember observing the dream sign of everything being foggy/overcast and all of the plants were very green/lush.

I saw her getting closer and for some reason thought that they were a threat. There was a big boulder of pink granite with white quartz crystals growing out of it in the garden in my yard. I thought I could earthbend it at them. I could not.

They came closer and asked me what I was doing. I thought of three questions for her. I asked her the first two questions but I cannot remember what I was asking her or what she answered with.

I remember the third question was pertaining to finding Jack.

"So I'm trying to find Jack? Do you know where he is?"

"Jack?! He's really hot! We should get naked!"

"Nah, let's save that one for when we're doing the Task of the Month." (What?)

I told them I wasn't interested, but they were free to do what they wanted. They started to take off her schoolgirl uniform when I noticed they had a little hanging surprise in their skirt. I pointed it out to her and they got really embarrassed and changed their mind about getting naked.

...

For one reason or another she got very mad started attacking me she tried to kick me but I blocked. They tried to move in and attack, but I flipped her over. I saw that they had changed into a little boy wearing a martial arts uniform and a black belt.

They continued attacking and getting more and more angry. I remember them using this weird spinning kick in the air and I grabbed the person's leg and pushed them back into the wall of my house. They tried one more time running straight at me then jumped in the air and did a flip trying to kick me from directly on top. I stepped out of the way and pushed them causing them to fall over.

(Word of advice, It doesn't matter how good of a martial artist you are, you're probably not going to beat a lucid dreamer.)

In the end, the DC was laying on the ground, appearing as a different boy now. They asked me why I wasn't hitting them back. I told them it was because they were a little kid (12-13ish) and I got a bad feeling from hurting children. I think I started helping them up when the dream ended.

-WBTB-

I was on Skype. My profile picture was set to the picture that DawnEye11 drew of me and Manei. My friend messaged me asking me who Manei was. (Funny I thought he already knew.) I told him to just forget it and I would change the picture.

I started looking through pictures I could use. I remember finding this one similar to my avatar picture but the left arm was robotic and made of a bluish shiny metal. The character had this really creepy smile and the lighting looked off. I thought it looked cool but couldn't remember when I drew it. When I tried to set it as my profile picture some kind of error came up.

-WBTB-

False awakening. I am a young kid (10ish). It is Christmas morning. I run downstairs to see what I got. I remember getting a giant Lego Star Wars Clone Trooper figurine that was about two feet tall. My cousin asked me if she was getting a [some gibberish item] from me. I told her I didn't know.

...

I am in the soccer field outside my old middle school. There is a bunch of playground equipment in the field. I decided I wanted to go on the swings because I always enjoyed going on the swings as a kid. I saw an empty swing-set with big yellow swings on the edge of the playground.

I also made some comment about the children playing while walking over there.

The swings suddenly filled up with people, but there was still one empty one on the end. I got on and started swinging. Another kid asked me why I was on the swings and thought that I might be too old for it. I told him how I always liked to jump off the swing and pretend that I was flying, ever since I was little.

I then jumped off the swing but to my surprise I just floated there above the playground. Lucidity hit me like a truck. I remembered my goal was to find Jack. I figured I could find him by air a lot faster. I took control of my flying, fire jets on. I was only projecting them out of my feet though. I flew a circle around the playground, gaining some altitude and speed.

"Woah! Look at that!"

"He's flying!"

"How is he doing that?"

I remember this big tree that is actually outside my middle school IWL. I flew through some of the branches. I figured I could fly to my house and manifest him there. I remember thinking to myself that I have never flown to a destination before. (Don't know what kind of broken logic that is, I flew to the moon last week.)

When I pulled above the hill to see my neighborhood I saw that it had been replaced with a trailer park and a couple of these weird round glass towers with all of these levels covered in different plant species. Beyond that was a mountain.

I picked up speed and flew up the side of the mountain. The plants began to morph into tropical plants and the sky went from orange to blue. I saw the left side of my vision change to a beach. I thought that this might be a good place to go.

I did a roll to the left and went in lower over the water. I thought I recognized the shape of the beach as being similar to that around the beach resort my family goes to every year. I expected it to show up, but when I got closer I saw that there was just a wooden house there. Nope. I went really low over the water and started running/sliding across the surface.

I jumped back into the air and did a flip and started flying again. This destabilized the dream a bit too much. I remember looking at the sun and saying stabilize the dream. I remember seeing some seagulls coming from that direction too. They flew alongside me. I for some reason had the irrational fear that they would poop on me though.

I saw that I was now flying over an archipelago of tropical islands. I had like eagle vision and it zoomed in and I could see Manei on the end of a peninsula off one of the islands about a mile away. I broke away from the seagulls and pulled in low over the island. I landed and started sliding across the road, still using fire to propel me.

There was a small concrete bridge and I saw a person driving a jeep coming right at me. The beeped and started to swerve off the road. I pushed flames to the side and avoided him.

"Sorry! Sorry..."

I was getting close now, I could see Manei standing there wearing a long blue cloak. Someone else was with her. But as I started to get closer they started walking down the side of the peninsula. I remember getting to where she was standing and looking down. I could see her and two other DCs making their way down the rocks into the ocean. There was also a grove of these bamboo like trees in the water nearby.

I started to follow her, but I lost her somehow and almost fell into the water. The water with all the bamboo trees looked mucky like a swamp. I didn't want to go in it, and I stopped myself above the surface and started hovering. I wanted to fly back up to see if I could find Manei again.

I tried to fly up but for some reason went backwards into the bamboo trees forest. Nuts! Not buggy flying again. I floated gently forward back to the peninsula. I stuck my hands in some sand and looked at the sun agian.

"Stabilize dream."

I picked up some clarity and tried to fly up, but I just ended up shooting backwards into the bamboo tree forest agian. The back of my head hit a tree. The tree (though it was only about three inches thick) broke and it hurt the back of my head really bad.

Spoiler for Profane:

"ASS TITS! I FUCKING HATE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS!!!" (When I try to fly up but end up shooting backwards. This has happened at least twice before tonight.)

I was now thoroughly lost in the bamboo tree forest. It felt like the forest was swallowing me up. I started to hear some frogs peeping. I grabbed onto a tree and I knew the dream was ending. I grabbed onto one of the bamboo trees and told myself it was time to DEILD.

I saw my vision go to a bunch of concentric blurry colored boxes. A computer loading bar appeared in white. It said DEILD was loading. It was filling up really slowly, and when it got about 1/3rd of the way I woke up.

Took a snooze on the floor of my bedroom today. (For some odd reason.) Remembered some dreamlets and other tidbits from the nap.

-I was getting some dream music. At first a very odd electronic sounding piece with strange distorted synth sounds. I woke up or lost the dream. I then started getting classical music, I think piano and string instruments mostly. It sounded very unusual though, and some kind of horn kicked in halfway through.

I either woke up or simply FA'd. I decided to go back. I began hearing a singers' voice this time. A male singer, singing away to a happy tune. What he said was either distorted Spanish or just dreamspeak.

-Manei asked me to look at her belly button. She said that she was afraid of getting this condition where you would grow a pair of lips around your belly button. She was showing me pictures of another girl who got it. I looked. Nope. Nothing there. But seriously, WTF Manei?!

I really need to do like a 'The best of Manei' kind of thing on one of the fourms.

-I remember meeting two characters from my comic, Raiah and Maxwell. The two were sitting on the couch playing video games. (Very in-character...) (Raiah is actually one that I have been trying to make into a DC). Maxwell is her brother. Upon seeing maxwell I was upset that his hair was not spiky. (Since his hair is spiky in the comics, it's actually made fun of on several occasions since things can get stuck on the spikes.)

I remember getting excited since this was one of the first times that I had seen either of them in a dream. Maxwell smilled at me and for some reason he only had four really big teeth, two on the bottom and two on top. (What is up with all the body malfunctions?!)
