    Lucid Dreams

    1. Airport Construction, School Bus Driver, Brain in a goo blob. (Nonlucid Storytime)

      by , 07-06-2016 at 03:24 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I haven't been posting DJs to DV a lot lately, but I found this one interesting.

      I remember at the dawn of a nuclear war, the governments of the world built three very large bunkers. They said there might be one in China, one in Ukraine and one in Germany, but there were only two so one of those places DIDN'T have one.

      The bunkers were built to look like spaceships. They had three big ring sections and a central axis, and were dark gray in color. I remember they were talking for quite awhile how the bunkers didn't start buried, but they used sonic pulses to break apart the rocks into quicksand and sink into it. They supposedly also had wheels that were gears with teeth and the sonic pulses would carve the rocks in such a way that the gear teeth would mesh with the rocks.

      In one of the bunkers was a female scientist who was obsessed with improving humanity so that the catastrophe that happened above ground. (It was never specified what the catastrophe was) A portion of the bunkers population were prisoners that had caused the catastrophe and fled the bunker. They had been rounded up by the non-catastrophie causers and put in prison. The female scientist decided to use these people as test subjects, willing or not.

      I remember she would lobotomize the prisoners and place their brains into robot bodies, then put them back into the prison. She continued to study them and noticed that even though they were robots with no need for food, water or sleep, they continued to have problems. She then realized that the root of the problem was the human mind and she needed to create something without a human mind in order to truly improve on humanity.

      She made a plan to create an improved human mind through genetic engineering. The next thing I remember was her killing a prisoner and extracted a small amount of fluid from his brainstem. She put it into a petri dish and poured this chemical onto it. In a grotesque but interesting manner, a blob of bluish-green goo grew from the dish and spread around the room. Human brain formed inside (only it was about twice as big as a regular human brain. It had numerous eyeballs on different colored stems all around it with.

      I thought the experiment had failed but in reality it had succeeded. The being rose up before its creator.

      The scientist had a plant to ask the creature questions, but the creature was able to answer every question before she could even ask it. It turned out the creature had telepathy.

      "What was the 10th's fact on the first video of the third season of the youtube channel's 'obscure facts' video?" The scientist asked.

      "Trick question. There were only 9 facts displayed on that video, because it was 9 facts about odd numbers." The brain blob replied. "I know that because I can read your mind."

      The scientist then asked the blob if it was planning on destroying humanity. The blob said that it was created with the directive of being a perfect life form, and it interpreted being a perfect life form as not terrifying or destroying those below it in any manner, so it would not. When it was unveiled to the other scientists, they were skeptical that the being wouldn't try to destroy them, but it assured them that it meant them no harm and began helping them with their research.

      ...

      I remember someone had tried to harm the brain in a blob creature and it had been reduced to a weakened state. It tasked me and my twin sister (I do not have a twin sister in real life) with transporting it to a safe location. We were in the park near my subdivision only the buildings and trail were overgrown with trees and had collapsed into disrepair. I don't remember much outside of this other than the fact that the creature was in a soup can with a radiation symbol on the side of it.

      I think we were on a mission to restore a solar power plant that would help with rebuilding civilization.


      I don't know. I just think it was interesting that the brain blob being was actually nice and helpful.

      I was driving a school bus from the high school to my neighborhood. I remember there was this big lake and bridge where the middle of my town was and there were a lot of people on it. Someone said to me that driving a school bus without a license was a federal offense, and I saw some police coming. I said it didn't matter because I was dreaming and I woke up.

      I had a summer job pouring concrete to help build a new airport terminal. In the evening when the construction site was closed down, I brought S and my mom to show them the incomplete building and explained to them some things about how it was going to be laid out. I remember there was some significance to the fact that I was going to use the money I made from this summer job to take an airplane trip.

      Something to do with being in a synthetic/robotic body. May have been related to the first dream.

    2. Weirdness and Lightspeed Flight LD:#296

      by , 07-02-2016 at 04:44 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I remember I was sitting in a college class. A girl from one of my high-school classes was in the class and being annoying. I didn't know what the class was about and didn't care about it. Instead, I was playing Kerbal space program and landing on the moon. She came over to me and saw what I was doing and told me not to be playing games in class. I told her the professor wasn't there and we had no work to do so it was none of her business telling me what to do.

      I remember the professor came over and said that it was good that I was doing something. He was giving a lecture on philosophy and how something could be a representation of something else, and how KSP was a representation of the Apollo moon landings.

      I remember clicking to plant flag, but there was a new option for the kerbal. "Drink Space Beer". I clicked it to see what would happen and the Kerbal threw off his spacesuit and left the helmet on. I remember he had a very muscular male body but it was green since he was a kerbal. He started rolling around and got covered in moon dust. A window appears and says "Drunk kerbal has rolled around in the moon dust. This allows them to have an extra suface sample."


      ...

      I remember that I was a really good cop/detective type guy who had been captured by a criminal. He took me into an abandoned building where he had a makeshift surgery center and all this technology. He then said that he was going to rebuild me as a cyborg that was under his control and use me to fight the other police. I remember he said that the main implant would go in my stomach and he showed me a jigsaw.

      The dream cut to black, but I kept hearing my character scream, and the criminal say things. I then remembered that this wasn't a criminal cutting open my stomach and putting weird technology inside of me, but rather a movie about a criminal cutting open my stomach and putting weird technology inside of me that I was helping to film. But for that part of the movie, all I had to do was provide the screams since they got a fake dummy body with a moving mouth to do the surgery scene.

      I remember when I woke up I had all of these technology and readouts like a robot. Most of them were orange and black in color. I remember the criminal had fled because he couldn't install the implant that would control my brain without killing me because he didn't know how. I was still able to control the cybernetics. I remember running a systems check of my body and confirming that all systems, both biological and mechanical were fully functional.

      I remember bringing up a data catolouge with a google search bar. I could have any information at my fingertips just by thinking about it. But internet explorer was my built in browser. I downloaded chrome.

      "Cool, I can rewrite my own software!"

      I remember looking at some data about the planets aligning and losing that portion of the dream.


      ...

      Someone said something about me giving them a computer mouse and they could make a copy of it.


      ...

      I remember I was in my backyard, semi lucid. A girl in an orange dress with yellow prints of palm tree leaves approached me. She said her name was "Banana Pineapple Beach hat" or something. She asked me if she could get on my shoulders. Being the drooling semi lucid idiot that I was, I allowed her and started jumping. But I would jump much higher than normal as proper lucidity worked its way into my mind. When It did, I took off flying and carrying her. She didn't say anything.

      I remember I did some flying maneuvers. I had a very good awareness of how the extra weight of the DC made me have more inertia and was able to compensate. I flew close to some houses and through some tall trees in my neighborhood, and something about Manei came up. The girl I was carrying wasn't her. No energy. I then remembered the Task of the Month, to try and fly at light speed. I couldn't do it with extra weight.

      "I'm going to have to drop you off. Emphasis on the 'drop'."

      She didn't respond to me. I pulled in low over a body of water (about 15 feet above it) and got ready.

      "Are you ready?"

      Still no response. I just dropped her anyway and took off. I turned and looked up at the sky. It was cloudy and dark. I tried to imagine myself moving towards the clouds and heard myself accelerate past the speed of sound and my flying jets turn on and spool up (I don't think they were on before.) I cleared the clouds and saw a starry night sky with the band of the milky way visible. I looked back and saw the curving horizon of the earth shrink away into the whole planet. I looked back at the stars and started screaming "like I was going super sayian" I thought at the moment.

      I saw the stars begin to stretch into lines. Like when the Millennium falcon goes light speed in star wars. I saw the earth was tiny now and went away. I saw a thing that said I was going 9901c. So I guess I was going OVER NINE THOUSAND times the speed of light.

      "Man, I hope I don't hit someth- why did I let that thought enter my mind?" At that moment I hit a large planet/small star. It looked like a brown dwarf gas planet. It was actually brown in color with bands glowing red on it. I remember viewing the collision from third person and unable to stop it, seeing a tiny streak hit the planet and it exploded like the death star explodes with a shock wave. I woke up rather suddenly.


      Man, I need to get back in lucid dreaming shape. It was pretty much a fluke that I got lucid and remembered a task of the month. I take as a sign that I need to focus on this more.
    3. LD #295: Taekwondo and Deadpool Clones

      by , 06-03-2016 at 03:44 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I started Taekwondo a little over five years ago. I did the same with proper lucid dreaming practice. And for anyone who reads my dream journal, they know that random martial arts fights break out. (Often with me a participant) The one thing setting this apart from other common themes is that the martial arts dreams (I use the term martial arts as a general term since some of the moves used are clearly not taekwondo) is that they are often tied to semi lucid or lucid dreams, while other dream themes. Space themed dreams, for instance, are almost always non-lucid.

      I theorize that because I began lucid dreaming and taekwondo at the same time, Taekwondo became mixed up in that phase of heavy learning in the beginning with lucid dreaming, and is now pretty much a permanent aspect of semi-lucid and lucid dreams. Probably should feel happy that I hadn't started say, driver's ed at the same time I began lucid dreaming. Then my life would be a never-ending string of car-crash dreams.

      I remember being on the main street of my town. We were under attack by deadpool clones. I think there were 6 or 7 of them, and they all had numbers on their foreheads. They were made by an evil comic book antagonist who was 'testing them out' on our town. I also remember there was a school bus loading up kids who wanted to take them away because deadpool was rated 'R'.

      I reached into hyperspace and pulled out the anti-regeneration sword from the comic. (The one I saw on Death Battle) I started fighting them. I remember each of the deadpools had a different aspect of the deadpool amplified. One was super fast, one was super strong, one was extra crazy, etc. The one that was extra fast ran around me and there was a one punch man reference where he tried to kick me and I just held up my fist and his momentum carried his no-no zone into my fist. I think the dream even went as far as to show the 'technical difficulties' screen for a few moments afterward.

      I recall at one point attempting to throw a lamp post at them, but super strength has never been my forte in dreams and when I tried to throw it it dropped before it made it to them.

      But there was also logic that since they were aspects of the deadpool they all had 1/7th his intelligence of the original and were all as dumb as bricks. That's how I was able to beat them. I remember I got onto the last one who had a blue and black costume instead of red and black. He was supposedly the boss guy. He said something about chimichangas and pulled two burritos out of his pants. He bit two of them and spit out grenade pins then threw them at me. I dodged by hiding right next to my taekwondo studio. I distracted him with a poster of a naked woman that I pulled from hyperspace and threw my sword at him when he was distracted.

      He didn't die though, he just became neutral and stopped attacking, and seemed completely uninjured. He made some kind of fourth wall joke, but in the dream that translated into saying something about the dream and making me
      lucid. (I had already been semi lucid.)

      I remember blue deadpool walked off. I was standing outside the taekwondo studio. (I think it was on the wrong side of the street though.) I was lucid, but I was in a bit of a daze. I didn't know quite where I wanted to go with it since I wasn't expecting to be lucid. There were a few people standing outside waiting to be let in, none of whom I recognized from WL. One of them was this really old lady who was only about 4 feet tall and hunched over on a cane. She had a white belt uniform and she said that it was sparring class today, me vs her. It seemed like she was so old and frail she shouldn't be able to lift her leg to kick, but I could tell something was about to happen.

      Sure enough, her opening move was to leap several feet into the air (additional note: dream martial arts usually seem flashy and impractical. If you've ever heard someone say that the martial arts in movies are flashy and impractical to make for a good film, well those also seem to be the moves that are used in dreams. Probably because dreams are a visual representation of a conflict or aspect of yourself, like a movie. They're not meant to be like waking life. But I just punched deadpool in the groin, and distracted another with a pin-up poster. Who am I to talk about this.) and attack me with a bunch of kicks. I blocked all of them.

      Me: [I knew it. A trick!]
      Her: [Hmph! Everyone I know falls for that.]
      Me: [I haven't been around as long as you, but I'm no fool.]

      She kept attacking me. I played defensive, waiting for her to make a mistake, leave an opening, or just get tired, but she wouldn't have it. I tried going outside her range, but she was too quick to close the gap. Eventually I saw her let up. Jumping snap kick threw her through a loop and tagged her chest. She jumped back.

      Me: [I can't believe someone as good as her fell for that old trick.]
      Her: [This is the same one who *garbled* Jonathan. Shouldn't have placed my expectations so low.]

      I tried to put my foot down. I could tell the fight wasn't over and might have escalated from simple martial arts to including dream powers. But for some reason my right leg was stuck to my pant leg in a weird dreamlike way that left it bent and I was stuck standing on one foot.

      Her: [Well put your foot down! Fighting Stance, let's go.]
      Me: [I can't... well... this is embarrassing.]

      She came over and helped me by putting a magical golden paperclip on my pant leg that would supposedly stop that from ever happening again. I guess the fight was over.

      She said something and the dream scene shifted to the beach from my first lucid dream. The old woman said something about reconnecting with the past. I lost the dream the moment after we transitioned and woke up.
    4. LD #294: Subway and Subway

      by , 05-13-2016 at 03:06 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I remember lots of stuff happened but the first thing that I really remember is being on a subway train and someone saying that there were vampires on-board. There was also something to do with angels that were supposed to be fighting them. I remember when I asked myself where the angels were I got a vision of them sitting on a cloud eating doughnuts and playing cards. I became lucid.

      The first vampire I saw was turned the other way, terrorizing some girl before he drank her blood. I pulled a wooden stake from hyperspace and impaled him.

      I made my way back along the train. For some reason, I was just throwing the vampires out the window. It seemed like the easiest and quickest way to dispose of them. At some point I saw the master vampire, a female with two children, one male and one female. I remember she kept ordering the male child to drink the blood of different people while not allowing the female any. It was also at this point that the subway had become an above ground train. The male child complained that he was full.

      For whatever reason, I felt like I needed help here. I turned and ran for a window before the male child could get me. I had some doubts that I could jump out the window and fly, but it seemed to work regardless. I remember I flew above the city we were passing through. I used the summoning command and when I did, I saw Manei in the backseat of a car. I pulled down next to her. The car was driving seemingly by itself. I opened the backdoor. I remember she was wearing some heavy jacket or hoodie that she wanted to take off before we went. I grabbed her hand.


      "Are you ready"

      "Yeah"

      I pulled her up into the air. I tried to ignore the fact that I had a passenger, since that usually results in a quick and painful "Landing". I took her up. The city we were in wasn't very big. I was trying to find the train tracks again, but I didn't see them anywhere. I remember there was a single glass skyscraper. There was an open window near the top floor that I flew into, through the building and out the other side. She started screaming at this point. I couldn't tell if she was having fun or terrified. Probably somewhere inbetween.

      I went down low over the street. A big semi was coming towards us and rolled out of the way. I started to go up again but she said something about my fire jets not being real. I think the conversation went something like this.


      "You're not flying, silly. You're just going 'fwssh' with your mouth"

      "Yes I am, I've used fire jets a couple of times..."

      We got stuck in midair. I couldn't get the fire jets back on.

      "Well at least we're not falling... "

      Cartoon gravity proceeds to kick in and we smack into the middle of the street. We make a large crater but there were no cars. Fortunately she didn't seem irritated by the crash that she caused by making me lose confidence, but it doesn't seem like she appreciated my brand of flying. She said something about the vampires not mattering, apparently the lazy angels had finally gotten around to fighting them or it just wasn't worth chasing that train because it probably wasn't going to turn up again at this point anyway

      Manei said something about going to subway. Apparently it was inspired by how me and S always like to go to subway together IWL. I opened the door of a random building (I think it was a church or some kind of house of worship) and expected there to be a subway. There was a fantastically gigantic line however. By swiping my hand over the crowd I was able to erase them and pretty much empty the store. (I think there was a few people left.) I rubbed my hands together, but it added no clarity to the dream.

      I remember I jumped over all of the waiting line ropes (there were a lot of them.) She bought all the food though and said something about her mother working here. She seemed really proud of that fact, and I didn't want to rain on her little parade by telling her that working at subway isn't much of an accomplishment. We sat down at the table in the corner and she brought the food. I think she got a personal pizza for herself and a sub for me. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I figured she'd know my sub given that she is in essence just an aspect of me.

      Everything seemed normal. While wrapped up the sub seemed normal sized but when I unwrapped it it was miniscule, like a little one or two bite sandwich. (I know I'm not a big eater IWL, but this is ridiculous.) I bit into it and it was particularly bland, even as far as dream food goes. She sensed my frustration and agreed to trade me the remainder of the tiny sub for some of her pizza (that was now like a full size pizza). But first she took a branch that I vaugely remember her picking just before we went inside and pulled off all the little pink flowers that were on it and put them on the pizza. I commented something about that not tasting good and she said that she would just have the whole pizza for herself then. I woke up.

    5. College Fly Away. (#294)

      by , 05-04-2016 at 01:05 PM (Lucid Time!)

      I'm on campus, pretty, clear spring day. There are signups for summer classes (they start tomorrow) but there are also, more fun and pointless activities. I remember the author of Harry Potter was on campus and she was going to assign people to one of four dorms in the dorms that I stayed in last year, only they had been renamed to be the four Hogwarts houses. (Gryphindoor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin) This was supposedly a part of a role-play type thing to make college more fun. Also, if you signed up to live in these dorms, you could be a part of a quidditch team.

      IWL or in dream, I've never been a huge fan of Harry Potter. (You may have noticed some butchered spellings.) But in dream there were a lot of HP fanboys and fangirls hanging around the table waiting. Don't remember why I was waiting there, I think I had some friends who were interested in signing up for the HP dorms.

      I remember I got bored. There was a tree nearby so I figured I would climb it. A few other students were trying to climb it so they could sit on the branches and pretend they were flying on broomsticks. I betted that I could climb the tree easily. I ran up the trunk a couple steps and grabbed a low hanging branch, then pulled myself up gracefully to the top of the branch. The students were pretty impressed with my feat. (I wasn't even lucid) But a security guard showed up and told me to get down. So I jumped down.

      I think one of the students asked what spell I was using. I was curious until I looked down and saw that I was floating about 3in off the ground.
      This caused me to RC and become lucid. I started flying off. At first I was flying really low, only a few feet off the ground. (Though it was still faster and more fun than walking.) I began making my way around campus when I noticed strong winds disrupting my flying. A few of them blew me into the sides of buildings. I remember at one point the wind blew me face first into a brick wall. It was the brick wall that broke and not my skull fortunately. My head was now sticking out of the wall of what looked like my high schools gymnasium, and there was a cheerleading class going on. Everyone looked on surprised and confused.

      "Sorry!"

      I figured if I could get higher, then I wouldn't have to worry about the winds blowing me into buildings. At this point I was flying down a narrow alley. I heard someone yell "Freeze" and saw the campus security guard along with several others. A mecha walked in behind them, pretty small and probably unmanned, but I still don't see why Campus Security needs a battle mech.

      Spoiler for Mech looked like this, but painted white with police siren.:


      I don't know what these guys want so I just figured I'd fly away. I tried to fly down the alley, but I saw Jack (OMG I thought you had left my dreams) with a giant fan that was creating the winds. Apparently he was a junior officer on Campus Security and he wanted to get me in trouble.

      I finally managed to fly upward. I heard shooting but tried to ignore it, hoping that the dream would drop the plot of security trying to stop my LD. I managed to get away, flying in a spiral around a large skyscraper-ified version of the language building. I kept having to say "Faster, Faster, Come on!" As I got up, I saw a city (not there IWL). On the left were several rocket launch pads. Each one had one of these odd space shuttle looking craft on it. (I think the space shuttles had extended noses or something.) There was also a Washington monument type thing in the middle of a big hexagonal park and a huge cluster of tall buildings.

      I decided to go and investigate the space shuttle pads. I remember it looked sort of like a cargo shipping dock. There were these big robot arms on tank tracks that would lift boxes of cargo into the shuttles, and they would take off and fly into space. There was also a giant field full of parked shuttles. Someone started explaining to me that "The Professor" had designed these for easy space travel. Now he was working on a space ambulance version that looked exactly the same, but with a red medical cross painted on it. He said that he wanted to do a space fire truck version but he couldn't because there was no oxygen for fires to happen in space.


      Lost the dream and woke up.

      Side Notes: Last night I made a goal of Manifesting Manei. Became lucid and seemingly completely forgotten about. I've gotten very good at this, becoming lucid and forgetting my goals. I need to figure out ways of better remembering my goals and staying focused.

      My lucidity is almost to 1/night. Some nights I have two or three, balancing out the nights where I have none. (At least how its been for the past 3 weeks.) I think I've figured out how to have an acceptable quantity of LDs. Now it becomes about having good LD quality...

      Not complaining about flying LD though.

    6. Changing Colors in the DW, Eating, Successful Teleportation. (LD #293)

      by , 05-03-2016 at 01:49 PM (Lucid Time!)

      I remember I had to take care of my new youngest cousin. She was just a baby learning to walk and her name was 'Baby'. I remember thinking to myself how that name wouldn't make complete and total sense because when she got older she wouldn't be a baby anymore. She kept challenging me to races around the house and for someone who seemingly learned to walk yesterday boy was she fast. But I still beat her. She didn't get upset she just continually challenged me pointing out different courses we could take.

      ...

      More Lego Dreaming. Don't remember what it was about. (this is the 6th straight night there's been something Lego related.)

      ...


      I remember walking down a beach. I was with my family and cousins. (Different cousins, my mom's family cousins.) We were supposedly on holiday in northern Michigan. I remember we were staying in a beach town and visiting the beach. My aunt said something about people not agreeing if it was 60 degrees or 80 degrees.

      I remember walking past these dream characters playing in the sand. One of them had this contraption that was making perfect ~6in sand cubes and sticking together like Minecraft blocks. He was making quite the sand castle, too.

      I remember looking a ways down the beach and seeing that it got less crowded. I decided we should go there. But at some point before we reached our final site on the beach that I became lucid. I did a reality check, and laid down some stabilization by wiggling my toes in the sand.

      For some reason I remember messing with the colors of the dreamworld. It was kind of like adjusting things in Photoshop where you can make the colors extremely vivid or something. Eventually the setting that I decided upon was slightly more vivid than it was before. It was pretty, though. I also managed to change the temperature in the dream world to be warmer.

      I began walking back up into the town. I just remember the town had this row of white buildings on a slight hill, then a road, then a large plaza-like area where I was standing. The town also had a train station and a bakery. The bakery was a very small building with a glass storefront close to the beach where we had been earlier. There was also a massage center next to it... Interesting choice of buildings...

      I remembered one of JustMe13's challenges. (Actually I think it was a false memory.) I remembered that I wanted to experiment with food in a dream. I reached into hyperspace (behind me) and pulled, well it looked like a muffin or a small pie. I bit off part of the top. It had flavor and texture, that was a lot like eating corn bread or a nut muffin or something. Not super strong, discernible flavor, but reasonably strong.

      I then realized that I've had food before in a dream. Now here's where I can take it to the next level. I need a second food item. I want to see if I can get something that tastes different. I think to go into the bakery, but when I do, it turns out the bakery was a much bigger building on the inside than it was on the outside, and there was a gigantic line of DCs. I remember right in front of me were five or six tall black men with spears and loin cloths. Some kind of tribesmen. I didn't want to pick a fight, so I just figured I'd reach into hyperspace again and hope for something different.

      This time I got a chocolate frosted plain doughnut. I started to make my way back outside. I sampled the doughnut. Different texture, softer. Different flavor, could taste the frosting. Back to the muffin. Kept going back and fourth between the two, until I'd eaten them both.

      I somehow wound up wandering into the train station while I was distracted. A security guard grabbed me and another guard told her to 'put me with all the other weird ones'. She locked me in the second story room of the train station. I remember there were some brains sitting out on the table. There was also this guy with long blonde hair. He had a viking helmet on and looked to be about 20. (Also he was a disembodied head nailed to the bulletin board, must not forget that small detail.) He smiled at me and said that the brains I saw sitting on the table were from people that had lost their minds. Apparently this room was essentially the Train Station's lost-and-found.

      But that didn't change the fact that I was waiting for the guards to figure out what they were supposed to do with me. There was one window in the room, but I didn't feel like breaking it or squeezing out. I figured I'd teleport somewhere else, or at least try. I felt like I'd already been in an LD for several minutes, so if I woke myself up trying to teleport, I'm not wasting the whole dream.

      I remember I put my hands together and did like that ninjitzu thing.

      "Tesseract-A-Beach"

      I was very surprised when the dream actually changed to a beach setting. It wasn't the one from before. I remember seeing the ocean with waves rolling in and the white sand. (Granted I had been on a beach earlier in the dream, maybe that's why I had success.) There was a single palm tree and a cluster of fern like plants. The sky was clear with only a few clouds.

      I've had many a failure with teleportation in the past, so my first instinct was a celebration. I think I jumped up and down and shouted "WA-HOO! I TELEPORTED!" I noticed that the dream was getting dark. I knelt down and felt the sand trying to hang on, as the dream was starting to become unstable. "I TELEPORTED! I'M PROBABLY GOING TO WAKE UP NOW, BUT I TELEPORTED!" [Does a little happy dance.]


      Yeah I did end up waking up a little bit later. There might have been a false awakening that I forgot.

    7. (291,292) Creating a Gas Planet, Developing a Lego Game

      by , 05-02-2016 at 01:15 PM (Lucid Time!)

      #1. I was driving a black convertible down the road and playing loud music. I saw some cops and thought they were going to pull me over, but they didn't. Later I got my car stuck and the police came to help. I thought they were going to be mad and give me a ticket, but they didn't. They were really cool about it. I promised myself I would abide by the law closer and always be nice to police.

      I then remember finding this house by the beach. (I was in an unusual location. While not very interesting, it wasn't the usual my-neighborhood-overlayed-with-some-cheap-props.) So credit for that. The woman who lived at it, a 50-something single woman who looked pretty good for her age. She was supposedly the worlds best angry birds player and something of a celebrity for it.

      I don't remember why or even think there was a reason for it to begin with, but I was forced into interaction with her. I felt like this whole thing was a scam. Nobody should be a celebrity just for being good at a mobile game. But then again, she wasn't THAT famous. Her house was small, she lived alone and there was no paparazzi around. She probably just made enough money to live here comfortably for the rest of her life.


      ...

      I remember leaving. She was following me and I was going back to my place, a condo a little closer to the ocean. To get there, we had to ride our bikes down a sand trail at night through this huge field. She stopped saying she was out of breath and we stopped for a minute. I RC'd and became lucid. I think I said something about being lucid to the woman.

      WBABP: "In order to proceed, you must meditate on the meaning of Vishnu."

      Me: "But I'm not hindu."

      WBABP: "Be nike and just do it, like I did when I shot that bird at the last glass block ass. My ass." (Slaps her butt.) "And maybe you'll end up as well-off as me." (Smiles)

      I don't know what came over me next. But for some reason I thought I wanted to change the look of the moon. I remember I could focus on making it lighter or darker and do so. I then discovered that I could turn the moon into molten magma and solid at will. It was pretty cool because I turned all of earth's moon into magma, then reformed it, and when I did, I cleared away all of the craters, and earth had a smooth moon now.

      I then drew a pair of magic runes on the moon out of magma channels on the top and bottom. Then another pair on the sides. Then four more at a 45 degree angle. Then connected them to make an 8-pointed star. Some internal logic told me that when people draw a pentagram, it is a five dimensional shape, so they summon demons from the fifth dimension. But if you draw an 8 sided star (Octogram?) you summon very powerful beings from the 8th dimension.

      Just because I was lucid didn't mean I had any idea what I was doing.

      I remember an egg shape formed out of the moon magma, solidified into a smooth white egg and floated down. It hatched. It was some horrifying alien lizard creature. Something like a velociraptor but with a wider face, and it walked on all fours with really large, muscular front legs and small, thin back legs, and a tail with a spiked weapon on it. It wasn't that big, maybe the size of a horse. The thing that made it even more off-putting was that the creature didn't seem to have any skin. It looked like an anatomy diagram with just muscles and bones. (Huh maybe it really was a demon.) But because I was lucid, I wasn't at all bothered by its appearance.

      It didn't act like a demon though.
      I for some reason snapped back into more proper lucidity, but falsely remembered that I had a dream goal of creating a gas giant that earth would now orbit. I remembered that this creature would become the core of the gas planet. It asked me to select some flowers from around the area to help provide it information about what the planet should look like.

      I picked some random flowers. The field that the bike trail went through had seemingly endless variety and color of flowers. The dream seemed to skip that part, though, because the next thing I remember was handing the being (I think the monstrous looking planet maker had moose antlers now).

      "Are you sure these are the colors you want?" (The creature had a gruff, gurgle voice like you might expect from a monster, but at the same time, I could tell it was nice.)

      "Yeah"

      The creature jumped off into the sky and exploded. It created an absolutely beautiful gas planet with sky-blue bands rotating one way and brownish orange bands rotating the other. I remember it had a huge blue storm like Jupiter's great red spot that I could see rotating.


      -+-

      I was working with Spellbee2 on the next Lego video game. We went into the bathroom together to wash up since both of us lived at work because we had such long hours. I remember he was perplexed by how to get these lego parts to connect when they had 3 connector studs on bottom and four on top.

      I remember I asked him to show me the parts and the moment he put the legos in my hands I became
      lucid, since I keep on dreaming about legos. I remember I used lucid magic to add a fourth connector stud on top and make it work. Spellbee was blown away by this.

    8. Wave (#290)

      by , 05-01-2016 at 05:20 PM (Lucid Time!)

      The dream started off with some star wars related stuff. I don't remember the story exactly but it seemed to be an alternate version of episode III. The major difference was that Anikin and Padme already had a kid. (Just one, not twins). Obi-Wan had uncovered Anikin's affair and they were fighting. The kid was scared by the adults arguing and ran away.

      The environment they were in was close to that city planet. Only there was a harbor/bay with an ocean in it. The Padme character said something about how everything good in their life might as well be in the bottom of that ocean. And they continued fighting.

      I materialized on the ocean. It was overflowing into the city. Supposedly the ocean was acidic due to pollution and it caused people to dissolve when the ocean began overflowing. Dream showed some rather disturbing imagery of that. I was standing on the surface and became
      lucid. I saw a big wave coming. Everything else started to go black, save for the water, despite the fact that it had been twilight a few moments ago.

      I saw the tsunami coming. I actually almost willed it into the dream. It was about average height for a tsunami dream. (Maybe 30 feet) I've had them as small as 8-10 feet and as high as a hundred or more.

      "Stop, you've plagued my dreams with fear long enough. What do you represent?"

      (Yes, I was expecting the wave to respond. But it didn't. It just kept coming towards me.)

      "Very well, if you don't represent any real fear of mine, then I should be able to do this."

      I stepped back into a fighting stance. The wave was almost upon me. I did like a karate chopping motion and split the wave to either side. The wave stopped. The entire wave began splitting down either side and quite literally exploding into a cloud of mist. The whole dream was filled with falling water, like rain from the huge wave exploding. Since it was supposed to be acidic I was worried, but I didn't allow it to hurt me.

      I was half expecting another wave to come that would be much bigger than the first. That's what happened last time I tried to confront this nightmare. But no second bigger tsunami came. I even tried to imagine what it would look like, encourage it. The giant wave from the planet in Interstellar came to mind. Just so I could show that wave who was boss once and for all. Nothing else happened and I lost the dream and woke up.


      I feel as though I'm not done here...

    9. Machinegun FAs

      by , 04-30-2016 at 01:01 PM (Lucid Time!)

      After four days of false awakenings followed by really crappy frags I finally get myself back on track.

      I remember the early dreams had something to do with me being on this sand dune. It was absolutely huge. I was hanging out with this new friend that I had made. I think his name was josh. He reminded me a lot of my waking life friend A. Me and him decided to build a sand castle, but for some reason the sand dune was hard like it were made of sandstone.

      I could swear there was a lot more to this dream than us starting to build a sand castle. It also overlapped with some other dreams about how I met the guy.


      ...

      There was also a dream about this fairy character. I remember it was actually a 'he' despite having a very female looking body and had two options of what to do in life, to either become a demon or become this love fairy that was an embodiment of dualities. I carried out some quest and helped it to become the better of the two options. (Duality) Upon completing the quest, he became gigantic and walked off into a forest of pine trees while reminding me of some of my dream goals.

      ...

      I became lucid after being reminded that I had dream goals. I know there was more lucid stuff before this. I feel like it was a whole segment that ended in a FA, but me holding onto my lucidity somehow, then leading into what happened here. I just forgotten it. It makes logical sense that it was an FA.

      I remember I was going for a bike ride with my mom and dad. We had just left the house and there were two suns. I'm pretty sure I was already lucid, but this was helping. The larger of the two was due east while there was a smaller, normal sized one in the north. The larger of the two suns had debris around it in a ring. I looked at them. Small planets and asteroids, but I swear I saw a haunted pirate ship floating in the sky.

      We were riding for a bit when we came to this drainage pit. The pit was different than it is in waking life. There was no wooden fence around it. (There is IWL) and it was on the opposite side of the trail. I nearly rode my bike into the bottom of the pit, despite trying to steer away from it. I had to hop off and walk my bike back up, but the pit had a sort of gravity to it that would probably pull some hapless nonlucid dreamer into a slow struggle against swamp muck and their own bike.

      After I got out of the pit, I did a nose pinch for several seconds to reaffirm my lucidity. I then decided to ride my bike in the road, since it's something I've always wanted to do. But I needed a speed boost since the cars go much faster than I do. I used my flying flames to boost my bike to go faster. Riding in the road was fun, except for the cars intentionally trying to ram me and the dream essentially becoming lucid frogger for a second. At one point, I jumped off my bike and onto the hood of a car and rode it down the street.

      I saw there was this big conference setup outside, between the middle schools. All of these middle aged and elderly people were in attendance.

      "So as you all know the redistribution of legos is very important to the school's budget." One of the DCs spoke. He then went onto introduce the new head of security. I remembered Justme13's challenge and thought he might make a good opponent. I decided to get the attention of everyone and see if I could get him to attack me. I flew into the air and hovered above the conference.

      "As you can see, your education has nothing to do with legos, it has to do with your lucidi-tea."

      A giant orange and yellow teapot appeared to the left of the conference when I said that. I thought it would aggravate them into attacking me. It didn't, they all just cheered that I was flying. I got annoyed and figured if I wasn't going to get a skilled opponent, I should work on getting to a new and better environment at least. (I think I was thinking of the discussion I had on spellbee's thread about dreamscapes.)

      I decided I would fly away from the town to an environment that might not be that interesting, but at least it wouldn't be a middle school. I got up in the air and started flying. I flew past the football feild by the high school and the thing that I remember was that the dream wold was getting more simple. All of the sudden, it ended. It had an edge. Like the void in minecraft. I zoomed out and saw that the whole town was like a SimCity Tile floating in a void, with the greatest concentration of detail near the center. I decided I would fly up but I died and a message appeared like in Minecraft.

      "JadeGreen fell out of the world"


      I FA'd on the floor of the front room of my house.
      Nose pinched and was still dreaming. I decided I would dream spin to a beach location. I stood on my spot and started spinning. I didn't change the scene, just destabilized the dream.

      I FA'd agian into my bedroom. I did a nose pinch RC and became lucid. I started to get out of bed and noted that there were piles of legos

      I FA'd a third time I think this time the room was painted blue with stars like when I was younger.
      I did a nose pinch RC and became lucid.

      I FA'd a fourth time into my bedroom. There was a huge palm tree in a pot at the foot of my bed. I just knew it was still a dream, and red and white mushrooms growing out of the pot. I shouted 'STOP'.


      I woke up for real.

    10. Spell's Comp Day 14: A pretty WILD final comp night.

      by , 04-24-2016 at 02:35 PM (Lucid Time!)

      Dream: I was playing dodgeball soccer in high school gym class. If you were on your own side of the gym, you were allowed to throw the ball and get people out. You could also throw for the soccer net at either end and score that way. If any ball went into the soccer net the other team instantly won.

      You could cross the center line, and if you were on the other side, nobody could get you out by throwing the ball at you. Then the game became like soccer. You had to kick the ball into the goal.

      I just remember that I went across the line and tried to kick the ball into the goal a couple times, but it kept rolling away/losing control. At some point I wound up bunny-hopping my way around the gym holding the ball between my ankles. I actually managed to score that time.


      ...

      I remember I lived in a minecraft cave base with someone. (Or actually I think it was three or four people.) But we were perpetually getting overrun by big groups of monsters. Not minecraft monsters, just big hordes of random monster beings. (I guess if I had to describe them they were like gray humanoids exaggerated in various ways, like some were overly tall and skinny. Others were large, fat and extremely strong and tough.)

      I remember we were fighting them and trying to block off the entrances that they were coming in from, but they kept coming through in new ways. I remember at one point, my friends died, and I tried to flee the underground and get back to the surface. I was running out of the main room of the cave base and there were a big group of them right behind me. One of them said to send in eggman's robots.

      I went around the corner and there were two pairs of robots, a smaller pair in front and a larger pair in back. They looked a little bit like star wars battle droids and super battle droids respectively only they were painted black and red.

      I wasn't lucid, but I knew that I could use earthbending or that that was important somehow. God dangit, so close! (I guess it was pretty easy to visualize earthbending in Minecraft nonetheless) and I threw stone blocks at the robots. I think I managed to get past them but some of the monsters grabbed me from behind and I lost the dream.


      ...

      It was at this point I woke up for an ever so brief amount of time. I don't think I opened my eyes even. I remember thinking that I wanted to go back into the dream and start over. I could still feel the connection to the dreamworld so I let myself slide back in sideways. Literally it felt like I was moving to the right and the dreamworld was forming around me. I don't think I got excited about the fact that I was WILDing since I didn't realize what was happening.

      I arrived on a beach setting. At the same time it was very vivid but kind of dark, as a proto-dream should be. On my left were a bunch of palm trees and a beach cottage. (It looked like one of those old Hawaiian houses or something.) And on my right was the ocean. I remember the sensations started coming in. The sound of the waves, and the wind from the sea. I could swear I was right on the edge of being awake because I could feel my dream body and my waking body.

      I thought of Manei (I was thinking about her before I drifted off to sleep last night) and she began to manifest. She manifested feet first, up to her head, as she manifested the missing parts of her were a black outline. I could also swear there was like a computer loading bar in the corner of my vision... She was laying on her back in a beach chair when I was finished. But she wasn't awake/alive at first, but she started to come to her senses.


      Just as I was about to say something, I lost the dream and woke up almost instantly. I really tried to go back, but couldn't. Too awake...

    11. Spell's Comp Day 13: Triple DILD and some truly weird and violent plotlines.

      by , 04-23-2016 at 02:03 PM (Lucid Time!)
      Edit: Rememered a fragment. Something to do with launching a Soyuz spacecraft.

      Dream 1:

      I remembered I was attending my new summer class. (Over the summer, I have to take a remedial class because advising is a dick and they've managed to get out of giving me an appointment that's a whole 'nother story.) Anyways, I remember that we were inside of this big dome that had a model of the solar system in it, hanging from chains. The class met inside of the sun.

      I remember going inside of the sun, there was a reasonable sized room in there. The whole room was made out of white painted particle board. Since it was hanging, it would sort of wobble. I remember feeling like the room was not structurally sound, particularly since it hung over this absolutely huge foyer like room, and it seemed to wobble around (I think it was hanging from chains.)

      Anyways I was the only one up there and I was waiting for the other students, when someone told me that I was in fact in Jupiter and not the sun. (None of the planets were painted yet.) So I had to climb over through venus. But the chain broke loose and I was left hanging with my computer in one hand and a rotten white painted 2x4 in the other. Someone said they would call the fire department.

      ...

      I swear this trouble dragged on for quite a long time, jumping from different a Eventually I was riding my bike in (I think London or Paris, it felt like Europe) and I finally dropped my computer onto the brick street and broke it. Then a bus came barreling towards me honking the horn.
      I suddenly snapped into lucidity and jumped over it. I think I started flying and all these people made a big circle around me and saw me slowly hover down back into the street.

      Dream 2:

      I was watching the season finale of Survivorman where he was going to Kayak down this river to this abandoned city that had been flooded by global warming. He did. Edward Elric was with him.

      I remember a huge block of cement fell on him from one of the buildings. He looked up and said 'That's a big rock'. Then it fell on him and severely injured him. I remember he got injured on his leg too. Ed had to use alchemy to heal him.

      Fast forward to to the third day of the survival. I remember they had left the abandoned city because it was too dangerous with all the falling bits of buildings. They got attacked by this witch character that haunted the forest.
      Then I manifested into the dream and became lucid. I ran at the witch and kicked her in the face. At that same moment she manifested a baseball bat with her magic and hit me in the face.

      Ed screamed: "Cross counter!"


      I think I false awakened, but I forgot what I false awakened into...


      ... Actual awakening, WeeBTB.

      Dream 3:

      I was in my color theory class. I went to the restroom (that was connected to the classroom, weirdly enough.) I remember the restroom had a staircase in it, that was weird. It slowly changed to a gym.

      A girl from my old high school was there. I remember there were three treadmills and she was changing the plugs around so that all of them could run at the same time. Each one had a plug in the side that she ran out to an additional treadmill essentially creating a chain. I remember she set mine on a super low speed and that annoyed me for some reason.

      We both wound up walking outside. It was nighttime and the college building was alone on a hillside. I remember a ways down the hill there was a road, then a row of thick trees and then a river. I remember I told her not to go into the woods down past the road because there was this restless spirit that lived down there. She did it anyway. I think I saw the spirit take her. When it did, I said something like.

      "She was never very bright, but her heart was in the right place."

      I then went back up to the building and became
      lucid. I remember there was this cult in there that was hypnotizing people, and I wanted to free them. It was down in the basement and it was dark, and I was afraid that the dream would lose stability. I remember I was able to crack my neck and glow in the dark. (Internal logic, I turned myself into a human glow stick.)

      I went down into the basement and saw the cult. There were about 20 people. (Some of them students from my college) sitting around a pentagram. They all had headphones on. There were also three or four other people there, I think they were.

      I unplugged the headphones and all the people snapped out of their hypnosis. I told them to run. They all obeyed and ran upstairs. The hooded cultists started to come after me. The leader of this cult (old, short, balding guy) had this huge trident/lance type weapon. He said he was going to smite me in the name of his god [his god had some name I don't remember]. I blocked the lance and punched the guy. For some reason when I punched him he became naked. (I did not need to see that old saggy cult leader naked.) He flew into the air and landed in the corner of the room.

      This other guy came after me and said he was going to punch my lights out. He was much bigger than me, but I tripped him and pushed him into this big banquet table with food for them on it. He asked me why I didn't just accept the fact that there was always bad guys in my dreams and why I would always fight them. I told him that there was no point in not trying to make my dreams a better place, I get lucid, might as well do it. He asked me something about my use of violence and I told him it was because people like him always attacked me first. He didn't like my rhetoric so I threw a cake in his face.

      I then remember this girl came out, apparently the daughter of the leader of the cult. I remember she had this very weird outfit on, like the lower half was just like a bikini bottom but the upper half (upper body, arms and head) were like an iron man suit painted black. Six machine guns came out of it (three on each shoulder.)

      She shot at me, but I made a force bubble and reflected all the bullets, but I could feel the shield would not hold for long. I jumped clear and ran along the wall to get close. When I got close, I was able to tear two of the machine guns off of one of the shoulders (Think it was her left). I remember on the back they had a handle like a handgun, but a giant minigun barrel on front. I kept fighting the hooded cult members that were just projections in empty robes, and fighting them with machine guns was hard because it would just make holes in the robes.

      This other girl showed up wearing a huge green hoop skirt that I think transformed from a more mundane outfit. Beneath the hoop skirt was also the bell of a rocket engine so she could fly, and she had missile silos for breasts. The two began fighting with each other, while trying to escape deeper under the building. I remember there were these metal sharks that would swim around in the air that they were also fighting.

      I think I might have gotten distracted and died in the chaos. I was simply observing as a ghost/spirit. When I did, I saw the ghost of the cult leader. He went to a museum hall and used his necromancy to resurrect a T-Rex skeleton, as punishment for his daughter wearing such a ridiculous outfit... I... Uhh... where is this ridiculous plotline going?

      ...


      Just as the chaos was reaching a climax, I false awakened in the back of my friend S's old car. He was driving down a highway in (I think Shanghai) with the top down. I told him that I just had a really weird lucid dream. He said that It was 2:15pm and I had only been asleep since 2:05...

    12. Spell's Comp Day 8: Slackin'

      by , 04-18-2016 at 03:25 PM (Lucid Time!)

      Fragment: Something to do with the Avatar episode "The Fourtneteller"

      ...

      Anxiety dream. I was in my college class, and I had to do some kind of presentation in front of the class. I remember I didn't have it/the file was corrupted. Some of the other students (I feel like there was two of every student in the class.) and they all started laughing at me for not having done the project that had been due all semester.

      For whatever reason, I decided to pretend to faint. I fell down on the floor and all of the duplicates of the students started kicking me. Supposedly they were dickhead duplicates, like manifestations of all the classmates' evil sides.

      ...

      The dream repeated, only this time, instead of it being a missing/corrupted file, it was because my computer had been dropped/broken. I remember looking at the broken computer and remembering that that was a dream sign. (I listened to my dream signs recording right before bed.) But for whatever reason, no lucidity.

      This time, I remember that when I pretended to faint, everyone put me on a glass table. I was afraid I might fall through the table and get cut by broken glass.


      I woke up at about 5:00 to go pee and went back to bed hoping for a lucid. I woke up agian at about 6:30 very briefly. I don't remember if this dream happened in the 5:00-6:30 block of sleep or the last block of sleep after 6:30 to about 7:50

      I remember it was a dream about Manei. She was the only character present, and I was simply observing her. She was in this abandoned city and she decided to go to the library and since the city was abandoned, they would have copies of her favorite books that she could take and keep for herself. I think Tom Sawyer was the one she wanted to get, but I don't remember.

      She walked in and found the book, but when she turned to walk back out, the library had changed the entrance was no longer there. She looked around for the entrance for awhile, but eventually figured she had gotten lost. She took a paper and pen from a desk and drew a map, but eventually she figured the library must be changing because when she re-visisted old locations they were different.

      Instead she decided to just head in one direction and eventually she would find and exit. She walked for awhile and found that the library got darker the deeper she went. She had her torches with her and used that to create light. Eventually she came across this huge cavernous room. (Like miles across, there were clouds and an entire landscape in it and everything.) Parts of the landscape were bookshelves overgrown and rotting with vines and trees while others were completely organic.

      But in order to get down to the floor of the cavern room (it was this huge drop-off from where she was) she had to take a detour. I remember then Tom Saywer approached on his raft. This was where the mystery of the library had been answered, that apparently characters from books were coming to life and the reason the library was so big was because it needed space for all the book characters. She rode with Tom on his raft for awhile. I remember he played songs with a banjo to keep her entertained, but when they got to the destination, Tom tried to charge her by making her give up her golden necklace and she wouldn't do it, so she swam to shore to get away from him.

      Then she was like in this warehouse room. I remember there was like an old forklift with an oak sapling growing out of it and glowing mushrooms and roots everywhere. This evil librarian lady showed up. Apparently she was the librarian before the city was abandoned and her eternal sleep had been disturbed. I remember she had a skeleton body, but there were two smaller ribcages on her shoulders that apparently had belong to the library assistants,and a zombie librarian head with empty glasses frames.

      She ran and tried to hide behind a stone pillar. The librarian walked past her and was about to go away when her stomach growled and it gave her away. She tried to project fire from her torches to fight the monster but apparently they didn't work when she was hungry.

      She ran away again and fell down this hole into an underground lake. She was in the big cavern room now and swam to the shore where the roof and caved in and there was some grass and apple trees.

      I really feel like the whole dream was referencing alice in wonderland or the wizard of oz in some way.

      The apple she picked had a realistic human mouth and said: "Hey, whatever you do to me, I'm gonna do to you!" another apple that was still on the tree started talking. "Yeah, leave the poor kid alone!" She screamed and threw the apple away.

      The last thing I remember was a mushroom guy with no arms and an elephant trunk came up to her and said something about eating him, but Manei wouldn't do it because she didn't like mushrooms. The mushroom said that if Manei didn't eat her she would be in trouble. A giant grasshopper monster then came and started chasing her. I think it was later revealed that the grasshopper was the lieutenant of the librarian lady and was also hungry and wanted to eat her. There was some dialogue between Manei, an apple and the 30 foot grasshopper about how there was a food chain, but the apple was the only one that wasn't hungry, therefore he was the one who was the most successful.


      I became 'lucid' here and decided I wanted to help her out. (I don't really know how to describe it, because I became aware that what was going on was a story that my mind was creating, but for some reason, I didn't think of it as a proper lucid dream because I wasn't a first person character. I just remember thinking of my recording that reminds me that Dream Guide should equal Instant lucid.) I was somehow able to talk to her, and I had to get her out. But because it was a story that had to end it in a way that made sense. So I instructed her to use pages from books to make a giant paper airplane and fly out a hole in the roof. This actually worked, and when she got out there was a third-person version of myself as well as Alduir.

      When she got out, "I" Hugged her then proceeded to scold her for not eating well and taking care of herself. Maybe I was just cranky because she got to have a much more interesting experience/dream/story than I did. Then she realized she forgot to get the tom sawyer book.

    13. Spell's Comp Day 6: Car Destruction, and OneUp visits, I think...

      by , 04-16-2016 at 05:10 PM (Lucid Time!)
      A Dream Character attempted to convince me that the moon landings were not faked because Kerbal Space Program exists.

      I then dreamed that I was a space probe in orbit around the moon and I was wondering if I could leave or if anyone would come back for me. There was something to do with seeing something left over from the Apollo missions on the surface, I think that was my mission, to photograph them. This actually went on for quite a long time. I think at least three orbits around the moon. With each orbit I adjusted to get a little closer to the moon.

      It wasn't a boring dream, but it was just one that moved slow and was quiet. I felt sort of sad that I was the soul of a space probe and I was probably never going to get back home, but to some extent I didn't care because I figured I could appreciate the beauty of space.

      ...

      Someone had re-arranged furniture in my room. There was all of these new shelves and my desk was missing. It was a false awakening situation.

      ...


      I was on vacation with my family somewhere. I remember some white SUV took our space.
      I became lucid somehow and decided to destroy the thing. I remember the scene changed to my backyard only the whole backyard was paved over like a parking lot. I decided that this would be a stress releaser, a sort of meditation in destruction of a dream. This perfect new white car vs me. It was a dream after all, and I could destroy this with no repercussions.

      I remember I kicked in the side. It dented the side door and the car slid away sideways making a tire squealing sound. I ran back to it, and toor the side view mirror off, and smashed it through the windshield. I then went and tore the front hood off, rolled it up into a spike and used the rolled up front hood to stab the cars' internals.

      I think the destruction went on for quite awhile, but I don't recall exactly how I went about it after those parts. Just that when I was finished, all that was left was four wheels sitting there comedically and car parts scattered around the backyard. Then some DCs came. My mom said that she was teaching an auto shop class and that she and her students wanted premission to fix the car for their exam.


      I started helping them gather up the parts and organize them when I lost the dream.


      -WBTB-

      I was with these other people. We were making a movie that we were going to put on Youtube about lucid dreaming. There was this other guy there, another lucid dreamer. I remember he had dirty blonde hair that was really long and straight as well as facial hair. He was a little bit taller than me and not wearing any shirt.

      I remember we walked into the road and we were talking about something. Then a car came speeding down the road and I jumped and grabbed a tree branch that was hanging above the road. I looked down and saw that I was two or three stories up. The guy asked how I got up there. I said that I didn't know and I came back down.

      I got curious and the next time a car came down the road, I kicked it. It flew off onto the sky and had a little ding like when Team Rocket blasts off. What do these dreams have against cars?

      He then said something about lucid dreaming. This prompted both of us to do RCs.
      I did a nose pinch and became lucid. I think the other guy became OneUp, but he still had long hair. He had the shirt with the transformers logo from his avatar. That's what made me think it was him. I think he shouted 'Awesome!, a Lucid!' and proceeded to snap his fingers. There was a poof of white smoke, like a magic trick, and a motorcycle appeared. He then snapped his finger a second time and made a girl appear, who was wearing a leather jacket and had long brown hair. He got onto the motorcycle and the girl got on and held onto him and they rode off.

      I wasn't super terribly lucid because I stayed up late last night, so as usual, I defaulted to 'Let's Fly'. I knelt down in the middle of the road. I swear the 'Man of Steel' flying music started playing. I remember (since the dream was supposed to be a movie) it had a cinematic vibe to it. I would sometimes get third person views. I got one and saw that there were two circles of wind around me (still knelt down in the road). The inside one rotating clockwise, the outside rotating counter-clockwise, that picked up leaves and gravel from the road.

      I then shot off into the sky. I was flying quite fast, and the inertia picked up quickly. I've done high speed flying on my fire jets before. Like they have in the past, they spooled up and sounded like the scream of a jet turbine. I remember I curved up and started flying so fast there was a shock-heating cone around my body. I flew through a huge thunderhead cloud and the wake of my flight was enough to blow apart the entire storm in a giant sideways tornado.

      I lost the dream around here. I think I continued to visualize flying off into space at light speed but nothing happened.

    14. Spell's Comp Day 5: Well, I tried to summon help...

      by , 04-15-2016 at 02:33 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I remember a dream about being on my college campus. I remember hardly anything about it save for the fact that I was in the cafeteria eating the baked chicken that they served there occasionally. (My favorite meal from that cafeteria, even though I rarely went there.)

      All that I remember past that was that I was walking somewhere from the cafeteria. became lucid because it was
      Friday and I realized I didn't have to be on campus today, so I must be dreaming. but I Layer 1'd almost immediately...

      -WBTB-

      A dream about me and my Dream-Dad. We were playing a game together. MMF! WATH? DREAM DAD IS COOPERATIVE? [RC's] Anyways, we are each play as one of these Mechs. They look like the cougars from Mechwarrior. We have three weapons. Machine Gun, Rockets and Sniper cannon. We head out and encounter the bad guys. There are three of them piloting heavy slow mechs.

      We hide behind some rocks and shoot them. They are so slow that they can't hit us. We beat them. I remember thinking something about there being no weapons in the game with splash damage and how we might use that to our benefit.

      The same three players kept coming after us in different mechs. Flying Mechs. Tanks. Etc. We would always beat them, but we were running out of ammo. We went back to our base. (That was underneath this big energy shield dome, and got ammo crates.) The bad guys came back. One of them was piloting a dropship and the other two were in mechs. One mech was big and heavy. (Mad Cat) and the other was very small and ran very fast. Now that the bad guys were mixing up their strategy, we were having a harder time fighting them.


      I woke up.

      -WBTB-

      I remember I was walking in town. I saw a Jeep-like car come over the hill and roll sideways. It skidded on its side down the road, leaking gasoline out of the exhaust pipes. I thought there would be an explosion.

      I then saw a bus in the parking lot of the Wendy's that was on fire. I heard the people inside screaming and pushing on the glass. Someone asked why nobody could get the door open. I ran to help everyone but the door opened as I got close and everyone got out of the smoky bus. I saw a couple of cops ride into town on a motorcycle. One of them pulled out a gun and shot into the air to restore order.

      I realized that the whole downtown area was falling into chaos. There was what looked like a riot going on and people were rolling over cars and buildings were on fire. I decided I would run to somewhere safe, so I turned and ran in the direction of my old school.

      "This is a Nightmare, I thought to myself. A Nightmare... wait.
      [Nose Pinches]." Yeah.

      I remember the dream had lost a lot of stability because I had been stressed and scared by the disaster scenes in town.
      I DEILDed and came back into the dream where I was living in my apartment. Apparently in dream, I had my own apartment in town now. (Though it was in the place of a house.)

      The entire room was a bathtub, toilet, sink and a small bed, with a tiled floor. I for some reason shouted 'This is my Dream Base! I will return here in every dream and become lucid!' I then decided that it was a dream, and I could make the room bigger. So I took a deep breath and began doing a pushing motion. The room was big enough that I couldn't touch the walls, but I was trying to... psychically push them farther apart. And it worked.

      I then decided I would summon Manei. So I looked at the door, and did my good old fashioned 'Manei, Kuansen Axio Sosubmle" command. I heard a knock on the door and opened it. Apparently she was still manifesting in because she was just a floating head at first, but after a few seconds her whole body had manifested in from a hazy white light. I remember when she finished a little purple (+10) appeared. I guess that was in reference to the competition since I've been putting all my scores in purple.

      She was awkwardly trying to move all of this stuff. (Like carrying a backpack, two purses and a couple huge suitcases.) I guess she was moving in with me...

      I wanted to hurry past this part so we could get to the important stuff we had going on tonight. Especially since she kept stumbling on stuff that had been left in the hallway by other people. I started making stuff disappear right before my eyes to make it easier for her to move everything. I was reluctant that I would delete something of hers, so I asked before removing each object. Most of them were just bags of trash in the hall. I would level my open hand at them and think it, and they'd disappear with a humorous pop sound.

      At some point there was also an annoying issue with finding her invisible coin purse on the floor of the hallway.

      After that, she went away for a bit while I took note that the room had a closet and a larger bathtub now. When she came back, she was pushing a king sized bed down the hallway. (Well, I guess I know what's on HER mind, because we both know that we're already asleep, and we don't need a bed.)

      She asked me to help her get it into the room. The tight hallway we were in made this a crappy physics puzzle. She must be much stronger than me because I tried to move that king sized bed and it wouldn't budge. So I wound up figuring that I could transport the giant bed into the room by teleporting it into higher dimensional space. I did. It also disappeared instantly with a 'pop' sound. I went into the room to see that it had already re-appeared and I thought to myself that it must have put the old small bed into hyperspace.

      (Weird how my physical strength in dreams is only moderate, while I still possess the ability to telekinetically move or teleport massive objects.)

      Anyways, after that she wandered off. Somehow or other we were in my house now, and the apartment we had created was where my room was. I just remembered that she was talking on her cell phone and I jumped over her, did a flip and landed in front of her. She hung up.

      "Sorry, am I a little too-in-your face?"
      "Yeah- I thought you didn't want to see me. I messed up. I taught you the wrong command and I tried to make you grow up too fast. I thought you didn't like me anymore because I wasn't perfect."
      "Psh, Think of all the times I messed up in front of you and did something dumb. I just wanted to make sure that wasn't gonna become the norm. We gotta keep each other in line, you know."
      "She said some reply in gibberish and I noticed she was crying a little."
      "Really, you gotta cry about this? I said I forgive you. You can be such a big baby sometimes..."

      I remembered commenting that she wasn't her usual cheerful self and that it was because I had been sick in waking life, so she had been rather sick in the dream world and was still getting over it. Apparently sickness in waking life=depressed dream guide. Not sure how that works. I also remember through the whole dream she was wearing this gray beanie hat with a little blue knitted flower on the side. It was kind of cute but also conveyed her dismal state quite well.

      "So I'm a little twitchy because I'm in the LDing competition right now."
      "Really, I don't like lucid dreaming competitions." (She said it really clearly to make sure I knew what she felt.)
      "I wasn't sure if I would like them either, but I decided to have an open mind. That Reminds me. I have to do... elemental bending for it. That was the reason I wanted to see you. You taught me water way back when..."
      "Things that you want to know that you don't even know how to know. Well I have to go now the dream is gonna end."

      She then proceeded to take out an umbrella and open it over her head. She disappeared using some trickery, leaving behind only a cat. I remember the cat meowed and the inside of its mouth was yellow. I tried to ignore the fact that she said the dream was gonna end, hoping there was still more lucid to come.

      "I sighed. Well I guess I'm on my own... Tesseract to-"

    15. Spell's Comp Night 3: Exploding Dad

      by , 04-13-2016 at 12:51 PM (Lucid Time!)
      Fragment: I remember a repeat of a previous dream happening again, or at least it felt like it. I was with my parents and cousins at a hotel by the beach. Only this time the hotel had a roof with these dark wood shingles and this big restaurant out in front. I remember everyone was hungry after seeing but the girl at the check-out desk was annoying and talking on the phone with someone.

      ...

      Fragment: Something to do with a dating website for lucid dreamers. ('Lucid Love' I think it was called?) Or at least that's what I though it was. I got a PM from someone. It was from spellbee2. He told me that it was part of a prank that was happening in February. Apparently he had just re-skinned the website.

      ...

      Fragment: We had a project in my color theory class. We had to build a tower out of legos. There were three rules. 1. We had to build it out of all one color. 2. The tower had to be built sideways or upside down. The connector studs on the legos were not allowed to be face up. 3. It had to be 50cm tall.

      ...

      The thing I remember was there was this large white building, built in sort of a T-shape. Everything on the interior was white. I remember how the entire building had a large central hallway for public access but most of the building was sealed behind reinforced glass doors and you could only access these areas if you were one of the scientists with a card. The interior was very futuristic, there were a lot of plants. I think I even saw this one scientist driving around this big robot spider with a RC.

      For some reason the building also had a gym and a pool in it. (I think the logic was that you could go to the gym for free, in return, have the knowledge that the scientists are secretly studying the habits and biology of everyone in it.)

      Anyways, I was there with my dad. We were going to the gym for free. But I didn't like the idea of being studied. I then remember this scientist came up to me and tried to convince me that the data wasn't being used for anything malicious. (But he didn't tell me what it was actually used for.) He then gave me a pack of balloons. I remember all the 'balloons' that he gave me were white and were long and thin.

      I remember I blew one up and then sat on it like a horsey ride, and discovering that I could fly. I flew up the inside of the building onto this indoor bridge on the top level. I was now in a restricted area and I saw some scientists approach me with weapons. Next thing I knew I was in a containment cell. I could see my dad out through the glass wall but he didn't even notice me.
      Somehow or other I wound up becoming lucid. No RC or anything so lose a few points there. Just pff-lucid.

      I tried to remember my three step task and I remembered that teleportation was important to it. I said something along the lines 'Teleportatus Excelsius' (not what I was going for, but it worked.) I got out of the containment cell. (No flashy visuals or teleportation zwhoomp, even when lucid though. Just kind of a dream jump cut to being outside the cell.) Alarms started going off and I saw the scientists were coming back. I took out another 'balloon' and blew it up. Once again I floated away on it. I floated up to the top level of the science building where there was a window missing. Somehow or other my dad found his way up there too.

      I told him that I was lucid dreaming. Now my dream-dad has never been particularly supportive when I become lucid. He's always irritable, annoying and tells me that I'm better off not LDing/just being nonlucid. I told him he had to trust that my lucid dreaming skills could be used for good. He seemed a bit too reluctant to try it.

      "Its either that or have your grimy hiny dissected by angry scientists."

      He was still way too reluctant. I just said: "Screw it" Grabbed his hand and pulled him off the edge of the building with me. We were nosediving through fog at first, and I managed to get my flames out and pull up just before we face-planted into the ground (pavement). I pulled up and took us weaving through some dead trees and willed the fog to go away. I looked over at him. He was screaming in terror, but it was like a cartoony 'waaaaaaah scream'. I don't think I've ever heard any of my DCs scream that much.

      Calm down, clam down, and watch this. I confidently pulled us out of the fog, convincing myself that a better dream was just knowing it was on the other side of the fog. When we got out of the fog, a whole bunch of fantastical visuals hit us all at the same time. (Does this count as manifesting something? I did think to myself 'We'll come out somewhere amazing', and that happened.) We were flying over a swampy drainage pond with some dead trees. I stopped in mid air. (Gaining altitude was taking a lot of concentration.) You see the nice thing about being short and small in dreams is it's not that difficult to imagine myself flying on jets of flame. It's much harder to imagine myself flying on jets of flame carrying my 240lb dad.

      Inconsistency here: I was able to carry my heavyset dad in flight, but not Manei who's thin as a rail and should be much lighter. Every time I've carried her I've not lifted off or fallen out of the sky like a brick.

      Anyways, I stopped and hovered in the air. He stopped screaming. We looked at where we had come from. I slowly had us look to the right, and saw that the fog faded and there were more tall trees, only these were not dead. They were alive, had huge leaves and there were these giant mango/pomegranate like fruits. (I put a slash there because they were colored like Mangoes, yellow and orange with texturing, but shaped like Pomogranates.) The fruits had windows and doors cut in them, and rope bridges between them.

      Next to that was what looked like one of the dorm towers from my college campus, as well as two rows of brightly colored townhouses on a hill. Behind them was the sunset and a pagoda, as well as a bunch of pine trees. In front of us, directly where we had come from was this huge windmill, only it wasn't a windmill it was a (goes on google) yeah, a perpetual motion wheel on a windmill building. When I pointed it out to him, the dream focused on a clack-clack-clack sound that it made. On the right was a huge orchard laid out like a hedge maze and people were picking these little red fruits off the plants and putting them in baskets on their heads, but for some reason I didn't point that out or even pay attention to it.

      I looked up at the sky and saw four moons.

      "Now this, this is always one of my favorites. Look up at the sky."

      He started screaming again. I realized I had forgotten about the flying and we were falling. We fell into the dirt next to the pond we were over, but neither of us were hurt as far as I could tell. I think I apologized for losing concentration and making us fall.

      "So, what do you think?"

      "WHY ARE PEOPLE LIVING IN FRUIT? [Wouldn't the fruit go rotten and smell as soon as you move in? It's pointless!] HOW IS THERE PERPETUAL MOTION? [Generally impossible] WHY IS SATURN COMING OVER. [I look to the sky and confirm that there is now a ringed gas planet too.] [This is Lucid dreaming?!] WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO CREATE AND LIVE IN THIS MADNESS? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

      His scream increased in pitch as he clutched his head. I could tell something was about to happen so I stepped back. Dream Dad proceeded to literally explode in a miniature nuclear explosion, and all that was left was a little cone of ash like in a cartoon. I think it was a fallout reference too. For some reason in-dream I took it as we were having a shared dream and he had been overwhelmed and woken up.

      So... does this mean no more annoying dream-dad? Points for unsummoning DC? I'll let spell decide. It technically was my fault he exploded because I created the beautiful crazy dream, but I didn't intend to banish him.

      After that a vaguely remember some goo monster coming out of the drainage pond. Supposedly it was a weapon used by the scientists we had run away from to attack lucid dreamers. I picked up a huge log and threw it into the air. When it came back down, I kicked it end first at the monster. It just absorbed it into the goo. I started to run away. (Actually I think I was flying backwards on my flames) I remember the monster was made of grayish brown goo and had these little green seed like things in it that were supposedly leeches that stole your lucid powers. I got one of them on my hand and was trying to pull it off. Though it was painless trying to pull it off, it caused me to bleed quite a bit and there was a lot of blood. I managed to get it off, and get a safe distance from the monster by hiding in the fruit picking maze.


      I lost lucidity and woke up thinking about a fireplace... Last thing I remember is a fireplace manifesting.
