    1. Two WBTB: Flying to the Moon, Too smart for my own good (193,194)

      by , 04-13-2015 at 01:05 PM (Lucid Time!)
      We are coming up on 550 DJ entries, my goodness.

      That said. I know WBTB works, particularly because I usually (like I did last night) seem to WBTB twice, meaning that I have three chances to become lucid rather than one. (Once before the first awakening, once after the first awakening, and once after my second awakening.) I've just got to figure out ways of making it a very reliable technique. I'll make a list of factors (bedtime, food, mantras, etc) and maybe experiment with slightly different variations to see what produces the best results.


      So the first dream was very odd. I was working with my parents and other people from our subdivision to plant rows of pine trees. This is because (IWL) our neighborhood is next to the clean water plant and when the winds are blowing the right way, our whole neighborhood can start smelling like a middle school bathroom. They said that they wanted pine trees because they were the best at catching the smell. I thought it was odd because I couldn't smell the clean water plant at all.

      ...


      I became lucid and left everybody. It felt like we were in an orchard now, we had planted so many trees. I felt like doing a lucid dare even though I made those a lower priority now. I had a false memory that I had a lucid dare/totm to fly to the moon, that of I had falsely remembered that I was meeting there with DawnEye11. Or I remembered a previous LD where I had tried to fly to the moon and failed.

      Flames on, we're flying! I looked down and saw that I was about fifty feet off the ground. All of the DCs stopped working on planting trees and stared up at me in amazement/confusion, asking how I was flying. You know, i'll be honest. It's starting to get old.

      I looked up at the moon. I knew with my standard flying technique it would take me all night to fly to the moon. I had to cheat. So I looked up in the sky and imagined the moon coming closer. At first it didn't work, but then the blue sky turned black and the moon started to fill up my vision. I regained control. I was flying at hyperspeed through space.

      The moon was coming up quick. I went around the dark side, sweeping low across the terrain. So low that I kicked up a bunch of moon dust and made a trail across the surface. I made a complete orbit and came around the dark side again, this time pulling 'up' twoard the north pole. There was a big flat crater here that looked like a good place to land.

      I halted my velocity and thought to move down toward the surface only to go flying at the surface at some absurd speed. I had to quickly freeze myself again. I was only a couple miles above the surface now. It was also now that I noticed that the moon was kind of a beige/sandy color rather than grey.

      Okay, I need to descend slowly! Just like in KSP landing on the moon is a delicate art...

      I shot back down at hyperspeed, even faster than before. Everything went dark for a second and I heard rock and dust exploding. I stood up and I had made a fifty foot wide crater for myself. I'm so lucky that I am invincible. I still remember shouting something profane when I hit the moon though.

      I decided I wanted to look up in the sky and see earth. But when I looked up at the direction I had came from, I didn't just see earth. I saw ALL the planets. They were all in a straight horizontal row, about moon sized in the sky. Some were a little bit bigger than others.

      "Mercury... Venus... Earth... Mars... Jupiter... Saturn.. Uranus... Neptune... even Pluto!"

      I started bouncing around in the gravity of the moon. Kudos to the dream for getting the gravity right. Even though I don't think I was wearing a space suit...

      I then saw a plastic container full of art supplies, things like colored pencils, pastels, paints, etc. I remember thinking "How did that get here?" I tried to pick it up and examine it. It seemed like it was attached to the ground. I couldn't pull it up, but I could push it down given enough force.

      I continued walking around. The beige/sandy color of the moon was beginning to shift to red, and I was starting to get a mars vibe. I saw a small canyon, that it looked like water had run through at one point. There was an Easter basket with a card on it.

      "To: Jade (this seems to have become my dream name...)
      From: Stanley (for some reason I read it Stan Lee, like the guy from Marvel comics.)

      I know it's a little late, but happy Easter. Hint: This basket weighs a lot."

      Some how or other I picked up on the idea that this was like the cube from portal and I had to put it on the art supply case (button), so I did that. I heard a door open somewhere and saw a tiny trapdoor about halfway between the button and the spot where I found the basket. It looked like it carried on underground with a metal slide.

      I wasn't sure how I was supposed to fit down there. I tried sticking one leg down the door and figured maybe some weird dream logic would take over and pull me down. But it didn't.

      I tried to shrink myself, and I think it worked. I shrunk to about two feet tall, and at that point I fell down the slide into an underground facility. For some reason, the slide split into three. The slide on the right went to a shredder. The slide on the middle went to a sewing machine. The slide on the right would drop me into a bin full of newspapers. I tried to lean to the right but ended up going down the middle.


      I came to the sewing machine. It was motion activated and a robot arm came out and tried to stitch me together, but I pushed it away as best I could. But when I got off at the end of the slide, my leg was full of stitches and bleeding everywhere. It didn't hurt though.

      The room had an office feel to it. There were filing cabinets and in the middle, this big machine. For some reason I assumed it was for making comic books since the tag on the Easter basket read Stan Lee. A man in an office chair was facing a desk. He turned around. He had short black hair and looked to be about 40 years old.

      "I am Rick Lee. Do you want to know the answer to life's greatest mystery?"

      "Um... yeah... I'm bleeding a lot, do you have a bandage? What is life's greatest mystery, anyway?" I guess my lucidity and therefore my invincibility were wearing off...

      "I know what Master Chief's face looks like! Here let me show you..."


      I woke up.

      -WBTB-

      I had an oversize zit (on my tooth...?) that I had to pop. It exploded with enough force to knock me over. I'm going to skip over the details because... this dream was really disgusting.

      Something to do with playing this game with people in my neighborhood. Both kids and adults were throwing these hackney sacks at each other for fun.


      I was semi lucid and for some reason my stomach kept growling. I got impatient and yelled "Shut up, I can eat when I wake up!"

      -WBTB-

      I was pulled over by the side of the road. I recognized the area as part of my route to college. I had taken a barbecue grill out of my car and was grilling hamburgers for myself while I worked on my final project for my drawing class.

      A squal blew in pretty quickly. I grabbed my drawing project and put it in the back seat of my car. I heard thunder and it had already started to rain. I knew I would have to come back for the grill.

      ...


      I somehow found myself driving across someone's front lawn, knocking over their porch, fences, some small trees. I was semi lucid so I didn't really care. I got out of the car and had somehow transitioned to a plaza in the middle of a city.

      I became fully lucid. I think I did a nose pinch RC just to confirm. I remembered my #1 priority dream goal. I knew I had to manifest her to figure out where to start.

      "Manei, Kuansen Axio Sosunbulee. Alright she should show up any second now..."

      I looked around and saw my parents appear. IWL they have been in LA all week, and they were happy to see me. I then saw my dead grandmother as well. For some reason she had ashes on one side of her face. This might have been a reference to the fact that she was cremated. I waved to her and she smiled and waved back.

      Where is Manei...?

      The dream faded to black and the scene changed. It was nighttime. I was standing on the surface of a lake. There were outlines of trees all around. The sky above was a bluish green nebula full of really bright stars. But, reflected on the lake it was a reddish-brown nebula, also full of really bright stars.

      It took me a second to make her out, but I could see Manei. There were really interesting lighting conditions, she was lighted red from the bottom and blue on the top.

      "So what's this about a naked picture of you on the internet?"

      "You figured it out. It was only a test. You are too smart for your own good."

      "So, everything is okay then?"

      She floated over and hugged me. The amazing visuals went foul and the dream became more focused on touch. I've never been what you call a hugger but I hugged her back anyway. The last thing I remember was her leaning over and wispering into my right ear.

      "Everything is okay."

      For some odd reason I was able to see her face and the back of my head and shoulders when she said that. I lost the dream and woke up.




      Even though it was only about 6:00, I couldn't go back to sleep. I sure tried though. I knew I was on a roll.

    2. Random Dreamlets

      by , 04-10-2015 at 02:14 PM (Lucid Time!)
      Well, I wound up falling asleep around 5:00pm last night. I woke back up at 8:00pm, then went back to bed at 2:00am and woke up at 7:00am.

      I was really hoping something like that wouldn't happen. I'm kinda on a mission right now...

      Something to do with being my female self in a swimming pool. There were two other girls in there. One of whom had her head on backwards and a scar going around her neck. I remembered her from another dream where she had been decapitated. Supposedly the only way for someone to re-attach the nerves to her head was to attach her head backwards.


      I remember something about being in the student center building on my college campus.


      Something to do with a giant blue robot.


      DawnEye11 made this animated video explaining how Dawn protected her from this abusive man.


      I was a part of this criminal group that was designing spacecraft to attack the earth. (Because, you know... that's what your normal criminal groups do... hire random people to design their space fleet.) I was in this large warehouse like room. They had captured these wealthy businessmen and tied them to pillars. They were trying to get information out of them by throwing these little ninja stars into them.

      Something to do with getting inducted into this group on Dreamviews. Spellbee2 was involved. They did this weird thing where they made trading cards for everybody. My card had this lizard wearing a hat and smoking from a pipe wearing a robe. It had some kind of special power. I wrote a PM to... I think Sageous saying that the card didn't make sense and I didn't understand how it was supposed to represent me.

    3. LD #192: They posted WHAT?

      by , 04-09-2015 at 12:58 PM (Lucid Time!)
      Thunder and lightning woke me up last night.

      I was having the rather typical big waves coming down on me dream. I found that I was able to avoid them simply by ducking underwater, and coming up for air. Unlike the bad dreams that I had as a child involving this premise, the waves had a rhythm that made that easy.

      And because this is one of my oldest Dream Signs, it caused me to become lucid. I wasn't really expecting to get lucid tonight since I had trouble falling asleep. But I suppose there I was. The big waves subsided. I went from the middle of the ocean to being In what felt like the pool room of a hotel somewhere. Everything looked sort of gray and plain.

      I started to get out of the pool, and decided to ask why I have been having these dreams since I was never afraid of drowning. I asked my friend S.

      "So... Ever since I was a kid, I've been having these dreams about big waves. Why do I have them."

      "I know."

      "Okay, so why?"

      "Ask me in waking life."

      I decided to ask my father then. He was sitting in the hot tub.

      "Do you know why I have these dreams."

      "I know why, but I can't tell you right now."

      "Why not?"

      "Because you should see your dream guide."

      I wanted to figure out this question first. I saw a mom and a little boy with short blonde hair, and figured I would ask them.

      Then both of them started talking.

      "Now is not the time to fly or do the other thing. Please go see your dream guide at once."

      Somebody gave me a note. It was written in purple pen on a piece of notebook paper.


      Jade, I hear somebody draw picture of me naked and post it on internet! I told they going to do same for you! Who do this? Was it you! If it was, come apologize and get rid of picture! If not, please come fix! Everyone laughing at it! Lole! Lole! LOLE!

      -Manei


      Okay, well now I have something to do... Thanks guys. I began plotting my course, trying to think of a way I could find her.


      -and I woke up.

      Well, I have something to do tomorrow now.

    4. Battleships, Pools and my Taekwondo Master LD#191

      by , 04-08-2015 at 01:35 PM (Lucid Time!)
      Some kind of video game or simulation that involved building a battleship and fighting the opponent. People had built really humorous ships in order to win. Somebody built a ship that would always flip over sideways and had a big gun on the opposite side so that gun would land on top when the ship flipped over.

      Somebody else made a ship that was basically a small tugboat with one giant gun battery on it.

      I felt like I was watching a Let's Play or something. (Funny because I think that LPs are a waste of time.) The guy was talking about how you got money to upgrade your ship in the game. But when he won the battle he won a lot of money ($50,000) but you had to pay to repair your ship so he only ended up profiting $1000.

      He got really mad and quit the game.


      -WBTB-

      I had some kind of reality editing or manipulation tool that allowed me to build things. I constructed a pool in the front yard of my house. However, I was not in the front yard of my own house, but rather a different house unfamiliar to me IWL. I don't really know where it was, but it was built on a hillside.

      Because of that, I ended up making three pools, and I placed a pump and waterfall system that would fall through all three pools. I had also added my own room underneath the uppermost pool, because I didn't have a place to stay at this house.

      I was really excited when I was finished and ran to get the owners of the house. I turned on the pump that would start the waterfall but it didn't seem to be working. The water was bubbling up into the top pool filling it to a few inches, but then it would sink back down into the drain.

      ...

      I was in the room I had constructed beneath the top pool. I heard someone knock on the window. I peeked through the blinds and saw a tall asian boy. I figured I would let him in.

      When I opened the door I saw he had a .50 cal sniper rifle aimed at me. He jabbed it into my stomach. This guy was p*ssed off.

      "Are you Estevan [Gibberishlastname], Graduate from Minnesota Institute of Technology?!?!"

      I was strangely calm given the circumstance, but I still put my hands up. Blame semi lucidity. The same semi-lucidity I had while building the pool with reality altering powers.

      "What? No. You got the wrong guy."

      "Oh..." *puts giant gun down* "sorry. You look like him."

      ...

      I was at the cafe in my college, still with that same character. He looked a little different now. His hair, that had been sort of a mop head/bowl cut before was now buzzed short. His skin tone seemed a little darker too. He was also wearing one of the shirts from my Taekwnondo studio.

      He was telling me something about how he liked big guns and dating girls. He started losing himself talking about this girl that he had a crush on. His English, that wasn't very good to begin with broke down into either Korean or simply dreamspeak.

      My reason to believe it was Korean was the fact that my Taekwondo master showed up and started talking to him in the incomprehensable language. He told me that English was not his first language. I told him I knew that, and I could help him practice by talking to him.


      -WBTB-

      False awoke in my college dorm. I RC'd and became lucid.

      I can't even remember the lucid dream, or that much of it. I felt like it went on for a long time.

      I remember leaving the dorm and doing a successful nose-pinch reality check. I just remember, in general, being really lucid.

      I do remember trying to get out of the dorm building a couple times. I tried phasing through walls. I remember going partially through. Passing though the wall felt like passing through a thick liquid, but then it became solid and I couldn't continue pushing through. I stepped back and there was an imprint of my body in the wall.

      I then decided to try phasing through the window. A similar thing happened. I started to push against the glass and it felt liquid. When I was about halfway through the glass turned solid. When I backed away from the window, there was a 3D imprint of my body there too.

      I remember thinking of Blobularwindmil's dare. I still need to do it and I've been really sloppy with getting goals done ever since I destroyed the lucid barrier. I remember thinking that I already did it, but what I had done was really lame. I had a memory of drawing a long tablet shape on a paper and making it into a Popsicle stick. I'm not sure if that was a false memory or not.

      I made my way downstairs to simply exit through the door. The RA was sitting at a table by the door with some other DCs. She said that she wanted to talk with me for a moment. I sat down at the table with her and her friends.

      "Why does the boy with the [something] who's eyes do not mach come to into our world and [gibberish] when he is confined. No matter how hard we hold him down, he can still [gibberish]"


      I'm bad at quoting DCs.

      ...

      I had a false awakening where I woke up and started to put my dreams in on Dreamviews. I remember my laptop had been replaced by this really old computer, it looked like it was from the 90's.

      I saw that I had a bunch of PMs from DawnEye11. They were really sad messages saying that I had left Dreamviews without saying goodbye.

    5. Lucid College

      by , 04-07-2015 at 03:13 PM (Lucid Time!)
      My roommate's alarm went off an hour early and woke me up. I went back to sleep.

      -WBTB-

      I remember false awakening in my dorm room. Manei was my roommate instead of D. She was shaking telling me, trying to get me out of bed because it was time for class and that I had to get up.

      I was semi lucid, but I had all of these false memories that I was actually going to college to learn lucid dreaming and that there was actually nothing unusual about this situation. I falsely remembered that other dreamer-guide groups were in other dorms.

      I remember thinking of other DV members, I had false memories for a lot of them. Dawneye11 was across the hall. Only Dawn was going to school; there was some rule that you could only bring one guide. I thought of OneUp. He had a female guide who was short and had light brown hair and green eyes, but I didn't know her name. (I don't know if OneUp even has met a guide yet.) I then thought of ~Dreamer~ and remembered that she was a professor at the college who taught a course on DILD.

      I also remember the dorm room looking quite a lot different. IRL it's pretty plain, not really decorated, however in the dream there was this big red canvas wall mount with all of these pouches in it that we used to hold books and jackets and stuff. We had a TV and a couple of plants in the window. I think the room was a little bit bigger too.


      I got out of bed and got really interested in the room. There were these three parchment banners hanging above my bed desk with Chinese characters on them. I kept thinking that I knew what they meant. They had a blue border that had a really interesting design too.

      Manei lodged some complaint that I created the dream wrong because she only had white tank tops to wear.


      I can't recall the dream from here, I think I woke up and was stuck in bed limbo for awhile. I remember thinking something was really funny.

      What is up with all of this semi-lucidity? Usually I'm not using this much yellow, green and teal, but these last few days have been weird.
    6. Stop Stealing, Minecraft Zombie Attack

      by , 04-06-2015 at 01:31 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I got a drawing tablet for my computer. It was really small but it worked really well. It almost seemed like it was drawing what I wanted for me. I was really happy because it let me add more style to my drawing and draw so much faster.


      I was at some kind of summer camp... or something to do with college. S was there. They wanted the two of us to 'study' together. But this didn't mean studying math or science or something like that. It meant that we had to enter a shared dream and learn more about each other. We thought it would be a good idea.

      They put us into a hotel-like room with two rooms and closed the door. The rooms had the feel of the rooms from the beach resort my family visits every year. It was dark and we both fell asleep very quickly.

      And we are a-go for faulty lucidity.


      We wound up in some kind of store. It was difficult to tell what kind it was, it had sort of a unique feel to it. It didn't just feel like we were in a meijier or a wal-mart or something. The building was extremely fancy and intricate, but the items they were selling were, for the most part, the same stuff you would find in a convenience store.

      And what does S do, he start's stealing stuff left and right off the shelves. I remember he even took a 64gb flash drive from right next to the cash register and she didn't notice.

      The thing is, this is actually true about him IWL. I have seen him steal things before. He once stole a pop from a truck that was unloading food/drinks behind our school.

      I drew the line when he somehow got his hands on a gold chain from the jewelry section. I told him I wasn't gonna tell on him or even make him put any of the things he had stolen and hid in his pocket back. But I did tell him that if he was going to steal things, he shouldn't keep me around because if he got caught, I'd hate to go down with him.

      We went into a blind spot between two security cameras. For some reason this scene was like a cartoon. I started shaking him and all of this gold/jewels/money fell out of him into a big pile on the floor. I kept shaking him because I knew there was more and a black sports car fell out of the back of his hoodie. (Don't ask me how that fit in there.)

      For some reason he got extremely mad and stormed out of the store, cussing all the way. (With all of the stolen goods in a big pile in his arms.)

      I FA'd into the room and the camp counselor came in. She started going through a chart of people. I saw that S was no longer asleep on the other bed in the room. She showed me some chart with everyone's names on it and asked me to rate it.

      -WBTB-

      Something to do with living on a flat/castle/fortress like house in the middle of nowhere. I can remember it looked like real life, everything had texture and was real, but things felt like Minecraft. Perhaps it was the zombies and skeletons that were attacking me.

      I was fighting them but I fell off the roof and died. I re-spawned back at my bed. I was actually a tad bit semi lucid here since I knew that I was a character in a video game. There was a wooden chest next to my bed; when I opened it I saw it was full of items like in Minecraft. I was looking for an Iron or Diamond sword.

      There were a bunch of items made of lead for some reason. (Lead swords, axes, shovels, etc.) I also remember there being a gold sword. But no diamond or iron weapons. Nothing I could rely on.

      I decided to run to where my old items dropped, but they had disappeared.

    7. Bike Chase, LES, and Cave Battle (Everything is Semi-Lucid) :-/

      by , 04-05-2015 at 02:47 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I was riding my bike with C down the main road in our town. It was foggy and all of the plants looked green and alive. (If this keeps happening, I'm gonna call it a dream sign.) The other thing that I remember was that we were riding down the middle of the road in the town, not the sidewalk. The road must have been closed or something.

      It was hot in the dream as well as humid.

      There was a funny bit of broken logic here where I said that I had predicted that I would see her riding my bike with me on the main road in a dream. (Without realizing that I was in fact dreaming right then and there.) I remember her having a green bandanna tied around her waist. (Not sure how you would tie a bandanna to fit around your waist, mine barely fits around my head.) I told her that every detail of how she looked was accurate right down to that bandanna.

      We turned onto a trail and started heading through the park. (IWL this would lead you to my house.) We started getting chased by this pair of rich twin kids driving old fashioned cars that were trying to run us over. (Man a lot of similarities to last night.) We thought we could lose them by going down the woods path since there are concrete posts to prevent people from driving motor vehicles down there. But their old fashioned cars were narrow and therefore easily fit between them.

      At some point I was able to take control of one of the kids driving the cars and make him crash. But they were twins, and the other twin was still following us.

      There was some important plot-line playing out here that I cannot fully recall. C had something in her bike bag (a book of some sort I think.) that we were trying to keep anyone else from getting their hands on.

      The whole dream was a little bit lucid, but I had the strangest deja vu like this had happened before.


      ...

      Rocket standing by to launch at an inland launch facility on the plains. Farmland all around. Facility is on a bit of a hill. The rocket is set to launch mid-day and rendezvous with a space station. It is a clear day, no clouds. But there are 3 or 4 moons in the sky. The rocket has four external boosters and a central shaft leading up to one of those space capsules.

      (Here we go with that space travel dream sign again. Come on, I stopped playing KSP months ago now...) I am 3rd person spectating. I think I was filming the launch for a news station while flying in a helicopter or something.

      Count down and lift off. The rocket lifts off and begins to turn over. There is a timer showing how long the flight has been in progress, and at about 40 seconds something goes wrong. One of the booster rockets is bending up into the main rocket body. It begins malfunctioning and shooting off a trail of fire and explosions pushing it sideways.

      The launch escape system (LES) activated and pulled the pod with the astronauts away from the rocket. The parachutes opened and everyone cheered since the astronauts came on the radio and said that everything was just fine. The rocket broke apart and the boosters kept going upward.

      The dream faded out here.

      Well that was pointless and went nowhere.


      -WBTB- only about 3:50 am. Had to pee really badly.

      Some kind of hunger games or battle royale situation here. It was fairly late in the game and most of the contestants had already been killed. I was hiding in a cave (giving a Minecraft vibe). I even had wooden treasure chests full of supplies that I was guarding. I spotted another player. I recognized her as one of my OC's.

      "...Satri?"

      She realized that she had been spotted and started running away from me. (I guess she was looking to steal my supplies.) The dream went semi lucid again. I pulled out my Fang Jian and chased after her.


      Spoiler for What is a Fang Jian:


      I started to run after her. Since she was my character, I knew what to expect. She was a fast runner. She was stealthy and might try to steal my resources. I kept following her and trying to hook her and pull her back. But she was too fast.

      We got to a lava lake that had all of these stepping stones across it. She cleared it pretty fast, and I followed right after her. I the cave was getting narrow and darker with all of these twists and turns. I knew I might be able to corner her.

      But then, there was a door with a women's restroom sign on it in the depths of the cave and she ran inside. There was also a men's restroom and a unisex restroom. I yelled out that that was unfair.

      I tried to figure out what to do. I said that this was a dream, but that I wished that I knew I was dreaming so that I could change myself into a female and follow her into the bathroom. (Yeah, That is some of my most broken logic yet.)

      I came up with a new strategy. There was a little ledge above the bathroom door that I would climb up on. When she came out, I would jump down and assassinate her. I climbed up and got ready. Just a few moments after I got ready, she came out. She had a giant black pair of scissors. She started slicing at me with them but I blocked.

      She then kicked me in the chest. It was so fast that it actually took me half a second to realize that the blow I felt was in fact a kick. I anchored myself using my weapon and moved in, putting her on the defensive. I tried to slash at her, but she jumped out of the way. I cut a couple of stalagmites and saw that I had cut them smooth like polished stone.


      She disappeared from the dream (or just ran off.) and I started cutting stone with my weapon because I liked the pretty patterns that would come up and the feel of the stone. I began thinking that feeling the stone was like dream stabilization and that I should become lucid. I was also thinking that I was lost.
      The dream faded out and I woke up.

    8. Drunken Fools

      by , 04-04-2015 at 06:15 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I honestly feel like I had a LD on an early sleep cycle but completely forgot what it was about.

      I was in my neighborhood, the next street over from where I live. I think I was just out for a walk or something. Rather typical of my dreams, it was foggy/overcast and all of the plants looked very green and alive.

      The first thing that I remember happening was seeing a car with a crashed up front driving recklessly down the subdivision street. The windows were open and I could hear people yelling and cheering.

      The person driving was someone from my neighborhood. We'll call him B. I could tell by the expression on his face that he was completely wasted. There were a bunch of beer cans on the dashboard.

      Wait... his face. Yeah he was driving right at me. I can't recall what color car he was driving, it seemed to change. But it was like a full size van or a hummer; something big.

      He tried to run me over and I jumped out of the way. I thought maybe he was just going to pass me by and carry on with being drunk. But he turned around. Everyone in the car had started cheering for him to run me over.

      There were a couple of boulders in the front lawn of one house. (They are not there IWL. I walked and checked this morning). I figured by standing in front of one I could trick him into crashing the car into one. It actually worked. The hood of the car came off and I could see the engine inside. But he turned around and he kept trying to run me over.


      I must have been at least a little bit lucid because I wasn't at all scare of what was going on. I know after a few more tries at hitting me, I began jumping over the car as it drove near me, rather than jumping out of the way. I took note of how floaty things seemed.

      I continued to jump around. Things were getting so floaty I was borderline flying. I think at this point they decided to put a bounty on my underwear. They stopped the car and a horde of drunken adolescents got out, including B. Also among the group was a character that I created as a joke between me and some of my friends; a boy named Swagbag Stanely. (Meant to make fun of online gamers and the pesky airhead boys from school.)

      I started running from them. There was this big beautiful tree (growing in the middle of the road.) Like a willow tree or something similar, with lots of vine-like branches hanging down from it. I grabbed on to one of the branches (I didn't think it would support my weight, and swung around.)

      I realized that this was pointless as I was just going to end up swinging right back into the crowd of people that wanted to get me. I tried to change my momentum to wrap around the other side of the tree, and
      (because semi-lucid dream) it worked. I was able to propel myself along. The vine got caught up on the inside of the tree and I jumped off onto a branch about halfway up the tree.

      The branch was wobbly. I crawled in closer to the trunk of the tree, where I was eventually able to stand up. Swagbag Stanely. (I'm sorry, it's hard to reference this character in a serious situation. ) started climbing up a tree. He was still acting drunk, but he had a switchblade knife, and everyone was cheering him on.

      I started shaking the branch he was on, but he was climbing closer to me. He was getting closer to me and moved in to lunge. I knew he was beyond reason so I did the only logical thing I could do. Put my right foot to his manhood as hard as I could. He fell out of the tree. I lost my balance too, and fell off, but caught myself on a lower branch.

      I looked down and saw that he had split his head open, and was bleeding quite a lot. All of the drunken people started to come to and realized what was happening. One of the moms, or just some random middle aged woman showed up and asked what was going on.

      The dream started to fade into a courtroom scene where I was re-counting the story. I lost it around here and woke up.

      I tried to WBTB from this. It was only 6:00am. I figured I could. I didn't have any luck falling asleep though.

    9. Point Blank Demon Nuke, Morgan Freeman, Lucid (#190)

      by , 04-02-2015 at 01:27 PM (Lucid Time!)
      Well the past few days I have had no recall whatsoever, and didn't feel like doing check in entries for one reason or another. It's nice to get going again with a short lucid.

      The first dream (nonlucid) had to do with some kind of demonic nuclear device going off very near to me. I was able to generate some kind of invisible lead shield as the blast passed over me. When it cleared (not caring about radiation) I began looking for other survivors.

      I found my friend A who was in his alien persona. He was hurt pretty bad and I had to bandage his wound with my shirt. He was bleeding blue glowing blood.

      The nuke went off outside the library on my college campus. I remember seeing the flames having skulls and hands reaching out to grab me inside of them.

      The dream repeated at least once.


      -wbtb-

      I can't remember what I dreamed of prior, but I was driving around in the car quite a lot. I became lucid when I pulled over into this gas station/grocery store type thing to ask for directions. I saw Morgan Freeman in there and that made me reality check and become lucid.

      I then realized that I was still shirtless from the last dream. I think one of the DCs in the store pointed that out to me. There was a large mirror leaned against the wall. It was not a pretty sight. For some reason I had a huge round hairy stomach. I thought it was kind of funny and held it and jiggled it around to see how it felt.

      I then decided it was better to change back into my normal self. I closed my eyes and opened them telling myself I would be back to normal. I had the body of a chubbier female now. Oops. That's my transgendered side talking again. I played around with that body for a few moments as well.

      I decided to try one more time. I focused on changing into either my dream self or my waking life self. What I got was an anime version of dawn, only shorter, with my normal body proportions. Okay, I'll take what I can get.

      I then had another question. What would happen if I were to do a flip in a dream. I sort of knew that It would probably just end up destabilizing the dream. So I tried one. Yep super destabilized. For some reason, I felt like I was injured or weakened after doing that. I couldn't get up.

      I tried to re-stabilize the dream. I remember reaching with my right hand onto one of the shelves in the store and feeling for whatever item was there that I could use to stabilize. I couldn't see it, the whole dream had gone white, but I could tell it was a clay pot with soil in it, but no plant.


      I lost the dream and FA'd. The following dream was more like hypnoponic imagery though, just some flashes of my Taekwondo class.
    10. S drives his professors' car through a lake, Dawn is Youtube famous

      by , 03-29-2015 at 02:36 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I was on my college campus with S. We had to get across campus in [some short amount of time] to get to class. I was telling S we should hurry up and run but he said that it didn't matter because he was friends with the professor and he could borrow his car.

      We got in his car, a red suburban and S started driving like a madman. He drove into a lake in the middle of campus (not there IWL) and crossed it. At one point the car went completely underwater and I told him that doing this was not a good idea because he could flood the engine.

      When we got out of the water on the other side, we were in a natural area and everything had gotten wet. The inside of the car had filled about a foot of water and we had to open the doors to let it all out.

      We tried to dry it out with a hair drier but S said that he had gotten the car water damaged and didn't have enough money to pay back his professor, and he had to turn to thievery.

      "So I'm starting a thief crew. They're going to be called the blue shadows. Will you join?"

      "Only if you let me get in really good shape first. I want to be able to outrun the cops."

      "What if we were able to join the [some group]?"

      "I think they only allow in very special members with special powers or something. But they are a really good thief group and there are hundreds of them. And their record is flawless..."


      I became semi lucid and started to fly above the natural area. The sky was all of these pretty colors, oranges, reds and purples and there were two suns.

      -WBTB-

      I was in my college dorm. This somehow connected back to the last dream. There were these big spiders walking randomly around the room carrying all of our soap and toiletries. I thought about just mushing them and taking our stuff. But I decided to look them up first.

      I saw on Youtube that they were a part of some advertising campaign by a soap company that says if your soap cant kill this spider, then it can't kill germs either. So they unleashed these trained spiders in people's rooms who didn't use their soap.

      I then saw something in the related videos. It was Dawn, he had uploaded a video. I clicked on it to see what it was about.


      It was Vlog and he was talking about lucid dreaming or something. He was sitting in this blue painted room with a window on the right hand side, and he was talking about lucid dreaming. .

      I remember he was wearing a tye-dye shirt and Manei's headband. His voice sounded like a receejones87 video. I can't remember exactly what he was talking about, I think it was WILD.

      The thing that I remember the most though was his video's view counter:

      Views: 13 Million Zillion


      The dream carried on into some sort of arcade setting, but I have no recollection of what happened there. I think it had something to do with some kind of virtual reality Minecraft. I think Dawn was still there.

    11. Triple WBTB: Viruses and Reading Robots (LD#188)

      by , 03-28-2015 at 04:02 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I was inside a movie- actually I think it was a TV show like the walking dead this time around. I was the main protagonist of the show and it was supposed to be about a zombie apocalypse. There were also dream signs galore in this dream.

      There was some aspect to the TV show where I, as the main character was allowed to do whatever I wanted, and the writers would change the scene to follow suit, so it was all my decisions and I could act as whatever character that I wanted.

      In some sense, it was like partial lucidity. I knew that the entire story was pretend.

      It started off with me being out in some remote location, out in the mountains. It was foggy and everything had this bluish tint to it. There was some kind of spiritual exchange meeting going on here where all of these people would come and meditate together and exchange spiritual items.

      I remember speaking with some old woman shopkeeper who was selling crystals, bracelets, dream catchers, stuff like that. I asked her how much it was for this necklace with this bluish-green hexagon crystal from it on a gold mount. She said it was $40 (or some other rather reasonable price.)

      I pulled out my wallet and paid her. She handed it over and I put it around my neck. She got a little confused saying that the necklace was for girls. I told her that I didn't care; I liked the look of it and walked off.

      It was getting dark and I had to head back home. I started to head down a trail that led me into a field with some small shrubs. It was a rather wide trail. I think it was a road, in fact. It had the two treads as if people had driven cars down it.

      I heard the sky start to rumble as if a thunderstorm was rolling in. I got the 'evil presence is coming' feeling and figured I should head back to the spiritual people meeting place. I ran back. At one point, lightning nearly struck me. I was afraid to go up on the mountain where there were no trees and I might get struck. I looked out of the edge of the forest at the ridge and saw that nobody was there. There was no way those people with all of those tables and tents could have cleared out that fast!

      I started running back down into the valley, hoping to find a cave or fallen tree I could use to shelter from the storm. Rain began to fall and a gale-force wind picked up. Branches started to rip off of trees. The storm was really intense, and the dream faded out.

      ...

      It was a few days later. I was in a city now, but the city had been decimated by the plauge/zombies. (I can't remember if the virus that was in the story was simply killing people or turning them into zombies.)

      I remember seeing this black guy. He was the first human I had seen since the spiritual gathering on the mountain. He was wearing a mountain climbing outfit and had a backpack. It looked like he might have a lot of supplies to help survive the apocalypse. I tried to get his attention but he purposefully ignored me.

      I walked up close to him. He pulled out a crowbar and attacked me. The two of us started fighting. He tried to hit me with a piece of broken window, but I broke it in his hand. I decided I would win this fight. He was bigger than me by a lot, but he had a big backpack on that was weighing him down and making him slow. That was my advantage.

      I jumped into the air and kicked him in the stomach. I tried to talk to him, but he insisted on remaining a mute. I kicked him agian. We were fighting inside a half-destroyed bar now and he landed face first on the bar. I then axe kicked him in the head. This killed him or at least put him unconscious. I then started looting his backpack taking all of his food, his gun (he had a pistol) and his clothes.

      ...

      The dream somehow cut to the space station. There were two scientists. (One male, one female.) The female scientist said that a sample of the virus had gotten on the station, but she contained it and was analyzing it in her computer.

      The computer had this really cool graphic of the molecular structures at play and it showed a diagram of the pathogen in three dimensions.

      "The virus stems from the eurithromycin strain, the same virus that we use to produce all of the worlds antibiotics, so we can't kill it with vaccination. However..."

      She typed on the computer and began zooming in on the inside of the virus.

      "The virus has triple helix DNA. My research shows that our experimental nanorobots, that were ineffective in combating other viruses, may be as much as six times more effective on this strain because they are better able to identify the triple helix DNA!"

      The computer graphic showed the Nanorobots attacking the virus and killing it.

      "I have ordered the space staton's nano-robot factory to produce as many robots as possible. I need to test them first to see what ones are the most effective, but when we are done-"

      "We load them into the return vehicles and send them on suicide trajectories. They will burn up in the high atmosphere and distribute the nanorobots all over the planet, killing the virus and returning all of the people to normal!"

      "Exactly. But just one problem. We'll be stranded here. The space program is closed. Too many people died and they won't be able to come up and get us."

      ...

      "ALERT! VIRUS DETECTED! SPACE STATION SECTION 4 COMPRIMISED!"

      The male and female scientist woke up. The viruses formed together in the air and made this flower shaped monster with tentacles. The nano-robots on the station all formed together into metal arms and started fighting with it. For some reason they started throwing plant pots at each other and dirt and broken ceramic bits were floating around the station. The male scientist closed off that module.

      They said that they wouldn't be able to access the return vehicles if the giant virus won the fight and took over that module. The fight would take really long time because the virus and the nanobots would kill each other a few at a time.


      I woke up. I did some autosuggestion notebook, but didn't really write anything meaningful. For some reason I was tired enough to want to not do autosuggestion, but not tired enough that it took me long enough to count to nearly 300 to get back to sleep.

      -WBTB-

      The second dream was really dry and had to do with a lot of family/personal issues. It dragged on for quite a while. Skip everything until the very end.

      The dream ended when my dad was yelling at me and he elbowed my computer on 'accident' and the screen cracked. I started yelling at him and telling him he had to buy me a new one now. He then disappeared from the dream.

      I became so frustrated with my family and decided that I was going for a walk to get some space. I started to put my shoes on when
      I realized that before our argument I was trying to WBTB and this fight must be a dream. I moved my leg to stand up, but moved my WL leg and woke myself up.

      -WBTB-

      There were four combat robots that had survived a massive war with an enemy army. The robots were controlled by a core computer in orbit, but since the core computer only had to control the four of them, they were really intelligent.

      Before the battle even died down, they hid in a downed spaceship where they found some books. They were still getting used to their new intelligence. They found a science fiction book by Isacc Asimov and decided it would be a holy text. They were reading it out loud hoping that it would save them from the enemy team that had won the war.

      For some reason I remember being one of the four robots at a point in the story where there were some enemy soliders just outside the spaceship. I was scared that there was going to be jump scare where they would come out and kill some of us.

      The robots just sat in the downed spaceship and read books to kill time. (Because you know every spaceship should have a library on it.) They took an oath of nonviolence and disengaged their weapon systems. After awhile, they ran out of literature, but they discovered that they could order books through this teleporter system, but they could only order 10 books a week since the teleporter used a lot of power.

      They decided to start reading hentai mangas because they wanted to become more human, and they wanted to understand what it was like to be human and to be attracted to someone. One of the robots was afraid it would corrupt them but he got outvoted by the other three.

    12. Jumbled Mess

      by , 03-27-2015 at 06:11 PM (Lucid Time!)
      The last two days have been crazy and I have no idea what order these fragments go in or even what night they belong to, but I do have a lot of fragments, and seeing as I like to put EVERYthing into my dream journal, I'd better punch as much as I can in.

      Floating black liquid orbs were flying around and people didn't know what to make of them.

      I was watching a video clip of my younger self that looked like my dream self but with two blue eyes. He said something about the earth being bigger than the sun and mars combined that didn't make sense but for some reason I found really funny.

      My dad had made a picture slideshow of my life. The entire slideshow was made up of false memories and blurred together with stuff that had happened in waking life and in recent dreams.

      I was at our family's beach resort. Everything had been replaced with cobblestones.

      Something to do with this big fish and stabbing it with a pen because it was trying to bite me. My mom was swimming too and she told me not to stab it because the fish was just playing with me and wasn't old enough to do any damage when it bit.


      Spoiler for Just in case:


      I'm going to be working on updating my profile today and hopefully getting caught up on some of my favorite DJs. I just want to say that the reason my recall sucked this past week was because of an episode that my parents caused causing a lot of stress throughout our entire family (for me in particular). This isn't the place for me to go into detail, but I will say that they realized their mistake, apologized, and now hard at work things are getting back in order.

    13. That's not Manei

      by , 03-23-2015 at 04:47 PM (Lucid Time!)
      The night before last I had no recall whatsoever. There is some stress involved in my life rite now since I've been really busy, but it shouldn't be to the point of impacting me this badly. It's been frustrating these last two nights since what little time I've had to myself has been committed to lucid dreaming practice and that has been utterly fruitless.

      This morning I preformed two WBTBs.

      I recalled nothing when I woke up from this session.

      -5:50am WBTB- (Hahaha! Perfect 90-minute sleep cycle there.)

      I had some vauge fragments after falling back to sleep. Should have wrote them down...

      -7:20 WBTB-

      Something to do with this police lineup. The police had rounded up all of these people in the central park of a major city. I think some of the police were the robots from the movie Chappie. They had rounded up all of these people into a big crowd and were trying to return them to their families.

      At some point I was one of the robots and I was helping to capture the people by chasing them through the park and shooting them with taser bullets.

      Two of the police robots approached me. They said that they wanted to return Manei to me. They made this random girl step forward who looked nothing like her at all.
      I became semi-lucid.

      She wasn't wearing any top, only pants, and was extremely skinny. She had a dark blue tattoo pattern all over the left side of her body and had dark green eyes and shoulder-length black hair. I tried to explain that this wasn't Manei. The girl was saying that she had never seen me before either, but the police were convinced that we were a dreamer-guide pair.


      ...

      I was one of the robots again. I was at the hardware store trying to buy supplies so that I could repair myself.

    14. Abusive Father and high-level lucidity. (#187)

      by , 03-21-2015 at 04:31 PM (Lucid Time!)
      There was some non lucid and semi lucid stuff before my last WBTB, but I can't remember it. I remember it had something to do with this recreational center that had an ice skating rink in it.

      -WBTB-

      There was a man who had a small toddler with him in a store, akin to a Walmart or Target or something. He was abusive and got angry with his son of about three years old. Apparently, the store sold toilets on this big multi-teired display and he got so mad with his son that he flushed him down one of the toilets.

      His mom started panicking, but the abusive man kept pushing her away. He then said he was going to 'teach the kid a lesson' and grabbed an absurdly large tube of toothpaste off of the shelf and squeezed it into the toilet to 'drown' him.

      The mom told me to go and get security. I ran to the front of the store where there a couple of security officers. One was really tall and skinny and the other was short and fat. It told them about what was going on, and they said that since this man might be dangerous they wanted me to be armed. They handed me two over sized nerf guns. One was a huge nerf missile launcher and the other was a giant machine gun.

      We went running back to the scene where the man was still squeezing toothpaste down the toilet. One of the guards grabbed him and the other picked up the toilet and smashed it open. The kid inside was fine, but he was covered in toothpaste.

      The dream carried on for another minute and I carried around the giant nerf guns. I wondered if I was allowed to keep them.

      ...

      I was driving down the expressway, or at least felt like it. I looked down to see that I was not in a car. I didn't even have a body. I was just a floating viewpoint moving down the road like a car would.

      Somehow or other I was able to nose pinch and recognize that this was a dream.

      The expressway had lights and weird interchanges in it, all of these traffic signals and junctures that didn't really make sense. I remember seeing traffic lights that turned weird colors like purple and white and wondering what they meant.

      I then honed in on the cars that were driving around me. They were really detailed. The expressway changed to more of a suburban road with big trees. I saw that the cars were really detailed. I could even see the reflections on the gloss of the car of the trees and the sun.

      I began thinking at a very high level of lucidity about how this was all imagery created by my brain, and it had such impressive quality. I knew I had to get to trying to shared dream with DawnEye11, but right then.


      Then my mom came into my room and started yelling since I was going to be late for my Saturday morning taekwondo class. I really need to start trying to WBTB at college more. I don't have to worry about this crap.

    15. Quad WBTB: Flying and Dream Control, Asking 'Why', and Manei does weird stuff. (LD #184,185,186)

      by , 03-20-2015 at 01:38 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I found myself semi-lucid around my own house. I can remember flying around. I was fighting this fat DC who looked like Gluttony from Fullmetal Alchemist. I remember I was trying to mimic alchemy and convert the atoms in the ground into weapons, blades and rock pillars that would attack him.

      At one point, I made a giant cannonball and covered it in spikes. This seemed to kill him. I think he vanished, and I realized that I was fighting. Then my alchemy powers stopped working but I was still able to fly around. I thought about flying to space, I saw the moon in the daytime sky and thought about going there. I remember thinking about how there was an old shared dreaming group who had a building there. I thought that I was supposed to be meeting with her (Dawneye11) in the shared dream there.

      Just then the moon exploded. Bits of the moon flew outward, but the core of the moon remained, and became a black hole. Then, a gravity wave came out, first hitting the pieces of the moon and pulling them back in. It then hit the earth.

      It felt like a really strong wind was pulling me toward the moon black hole. Houses and trees were pulled up and sucked in. I thought that I should try to escape the black hole. If I can't NBD, it's a lucid dream, and I'll see where it takes me.

      I started flying away, but I wasn't going nearly fast enough and I was getting sucked in. I tried to go faster and managed to stop myself relative to the black hole. at one moment, however, I must have twitched my arm too fast because I woke up and moved my arm IWL.


      -WBTB-

      I was in my old high school with Manei. However, I was for some reason a ghost. (You know how for Halloween there is always that one person who goes as a bed-sheet ghost. Well, I was that ghost, but I wasn't a costume, I was just a bed-sheet.)

      I remember at one point (though not very clearly) I was able to phase through walls. Manei was very impressed.

      At some point, my ghostly bedhseet was replaced with a Victorian dress.


      At the end of the dream there was this big wall of questions. It was something that my high school was doing in the dream. I remember reading one of the questions that somebody else had posted.

      "Why do dentists write on our teeth with a dark blue crayon? Wouldn't dark green be on a better wavelength?

      While I'm at it, how many dark blue crayons do they take away from small children who need them, after all it has been scientifically proven that little kids like the dark blue crayons?"

      I looked through most of the other questions on the wall. Most of them were long and complex like that one, but I didn't bother to read all of them.

      Manei said that she wanted to put a question on the wall. There was a bin of cards. She used some kind of power on it and it began rapidly cycling through a large number of words and phrases until it landed on one single word.

      'why'

      She posted that up in the middle of the wall.

      "Why is a beautiful word because you can always ask 'why' something is the way it is. Sometimes you will arrive at an answer, and others you will not. But you can always keep asking questions. Why does this school exist? Why do I exist?"

      "Why does this dream carry on even though the core message has already been conveyed?"

      "Exactly."


      I went back into semi-lucidity and we sat down in the back of the class that was sitting in the gym. One of the teachers was giving a presentation, but I paid no mind to what he/she was saying. I decided that this would be an opportunity to try blobularwindmils dare of drawing something and making it come to life. But somehow I remembered the dare wrong and thought that I was to draw something that was already alive.

      I was looking at Manei trying to figure out how to start drawing her face. She looked over at me and gave me this big goofy smile. I told her to hold that pose for a moment. I lost the dream and woke up.

      Some weird nonlucid bits. I was a member of this tribe who live in a wasteland. I was looking out over our village that we were building. The dream was strangely very clear here.

      I remember we were living in a sand gully. There were these huge gray mushroom structures all around. They were miles tall and clouds wrapped around their bases. It was a strange, alien world. I was considering starting a farm/garden to grow food for our people and had found a nice area of land next to the village.

      Just then, like magic, the leader of our villiage approached me and asked me to do just that, start a farm and grow food for everyone. I told him I would get right on it.

      ...

      The dream somehow gave way to a dream about this Star Wars game where you would create a team of Jedi with different skills and weaknesses and they would battle one another or other opponents.

      In the game they were chasing this big cyborg guy through this space station.

      ...


      I found myself fully lucid once more in the living room at my aunt and uncle's house. Manei was there in one of the chairs. She said something to me that I couldn't make out, like she was mumbling or something. I kept moving closer and ask her to repeat herself.

      By the fourth or fifth time, I was practically leaning in her face. She had her headband on. Also, for some reason her hair was really shiny. Overall the experience of seeing her was vivd. (Much more than it had been in the last dream.) She just looked like a completely real person.

      "I want to hear you call me 'Kitten'"

      *tries not to laugh* "Okay, whatever you say, Kitten..."

      "And your nickname can be Jaylen!"

      "Why 'Jaylen'?"

      "I don't hear you coming up with a better one."

      "Why not 'Jade', like my Dreamviews profile name?"

      *giggles* "Okay."

      She then decided to give me a hug. I hugged her back and the dream blurred out and I woke up.
