      Date : 26th May, 2010

      I was inside a castle. There was a gigantic ball in full swing going on. I entered through a large hallway, which was made of fine, polished marble and extremely subtle silk hangings, which were blood red with a black dragon crest in the middle. The pillars of the hall were made of pure gold, with an amazing spiral design.
      I went inside the main ball room through a large gate, which was also blood red and had golden fixings, patterns and handles. A chauffeur opened the gate for me. I entered, and was truly exhilarated. There was a fine carpet, huge enough to cover almost the whole of the ball room. There was a platform on which a band was playing. It was a sad, deadly tune, which filled me with despair and horror.
      I walked ahead, somewhat enjoying the scene. There were rows and rows of tables neatly arranged in a line, with every delicacy you can imagine. Waiters were bustling here and there, carrying goblets of a wine like liquid, which surprisingly looked like blood. I took one from a waiter, and took a sip. It tasted really weird, but also very pleasant.
      I started to look around. Somehow, I felt at ease here, like I have been to a lot of balls like this, and was used to the luxury and finery of it all. In the middle, couples were gracefully dancing to the tune. All of the the women were unimaginably beautiful, and the men were extremely handsome and suave.
      I saw a hanging nearby, and my eyes fell upon the black dragon crest. Due to my habit of RCing whenever I see the color black, I looked at my fingers. There were ten on one hand, and seven on the other.

      I became lucid. A good practice which helps me have long LDs is that I never to anything very exciting right into the dream. I though of trying a technique I thought up. I created a banner, and wrote "This is a dream, do not lose lucidity!".
      It was quite difficult to write, but I somehow managed it. I made that banner hover in mid-air, so that it was always in my field of vision. That way, I would become lucid again even if I lost lucidity. I was successful. Every time my eyes fell upon the banner, my lucidity ricocheted, as did my clarity and the sharpness of the dream.
      I started to notice the environment around me, to get it more detailed. There were all sorts of decorations, but all in that same black and blood red color scheme. I tried talking to some DCs. I asked a girl nearby, "Hey, where is this place?"
      "Hollywood.", she says, and walks on.
      A little amused, I try to talk to some more DCs. Around this time, I noticed something really odd with all of the people around me. Their skin was extremely pale. Almost as white as pure snow. They had a "demonic" look in them. And their eyes were cat-like slits.
      Something clicked on my mind. This is a vampire's party. The whole castle is filled with vampires!
      "Like it?" A voice said from behind me.
      I turn around, and see Leona standing there. She looked the prettiest of them all. And the most "demonic" among them. Everybody halted in their tracks. She came up to me.
      "How do you like it? This is my ball."
      "Whoa! This is YOUR ball? That means, this whole castle is yours?"
      "Yeah."
      "Cool! But.......How come the people here are all vampires?"
      "They are just DCs, to liven up the party."
      'But why VAMPIRES?!!"
      "Because I like it that way. Anyways, wanna dance?"
      "Yeah, sure."
      She leads me to the center of the room.

      I lost lucidity. I was just dancing along with Leona, my mind completely blank and carefree. I forgot what was around me. I seemed to dance for a long amount of time, truly lost in the beauty and the perfection of the whole scene. Suddenly, a large banner flew up in front of me. It read, " Y #E$* DB&G# " (or something like that)
      I thought, "Weird. Why is it flying in my face?"
      I remembered something. Wasn't I the one who made this thing? In which case, WHY did I make it? I suddenly remember the reason, and
      become lucid.
      I was still in the same scenario. My dream landscapes usually don't change much, even if I don't pay attention to them. Don't know why.
      Now, all of the guests were looking at me and Leona. They had a killing intent in their eyes. Why did they suddenly turn hostile?
      Each and every one of them was now coming towards us. While I was panicking, I saw that Leona was wearing an armor, the same as before. She was grinning. What a blood thirsty DG!
      I summon some armor for myself too. Leona takes out a sword. It was the most beautiful yet strangely mysterious sword you can imagine. It was a long thin katana, somewhat like mine, but it was bright blue, and a silvery white aura was flowing out of it. There was also something "electric" about it.
      "Cool! Where'd ya get that?"
      "Shut up and fight already."
      "Oh yeah!"
      I take up a stance. I don't summon my sword, fearing me getting killed by it again.
      "What's this? Where's your sword?"
      "Ah..........I........like to fight with my hands."
      "Yea right."
      She grabs me, and opens up a tear in the fabric of space and time in front of us. She jumps into it, dragging me along. In an instant, we are on a large island in the middle of the sea, with very few vegetation and trees.



      "We can practice with peace here. Now, what's up with your sword?"
      I tell her the whole story. While telling the story, my eyelids were dropping, as if they suddenly got a lot heavier. It felt like I wanted to sleep, and very badly. But I forced myself to open my eyes.
      I was still on the island. Maybe Leona understood whatever I was blabbering while semi-lucid, because she had a serious look on her face now.
      "Well, summon your sword."
      "But....."
      "You ass, how'd you plan on fighting without it?"
      "Maybe you are right."
      Using the expectation technique again, I summon my sword. It was the same. And there was that black fire and that vibration again.
      "Whoa!" Leona said. "This sword is totally made up of your negative thoughts and emotions. Quite a dark one. You sure you wanna control this thing? Try settling for something easier to control
      "Nah, I'll take my chances, if it's really that powerful. But, what do emotions have to do with dreams and swords?"
      "Man, it's hard to believe that anyone could be so ignorant. Your WHOLE dream is effected by your emotions. Try thinking of something that brings tears to you."
      I did so. Suddenly, heavy rain started to pour.
      "See. Thats the influence of you emotions."
      'But....."
      BOOM!!!!!
      A catastrophic explosion. I was nearly knocked unconscious by it. There was Devil Jin again. He was looking at me with a leer.



      "Okay, time for some real excitement. That girl over there can only tell you so much about me. Listen up, kid. You wanted a really powerful sword, didn't ya? This sword.......is me. Or I am this sword. You created me without knowing it. You were fantasizing about being dark and evil and stuff while creating this sword, that's why you got it like this.
      "Huh?!"
      "That lady was correct. You ARE really dumb. Anyways, it's like this. You played just a little too much with darkness. So I am here to test if you really are fit to control me. If you defeat me, I will not come up again, but if you lose, you're gonna lose all of your powers. And that includes flying. I am starting NOW!"
      'Wait, wha....???"
      "WATCH OUT!!"
      Leona grabs me, and teleports a good distance away. My vision is like I am viewing everything from underwater. Jin had been behind me, and was about to cut me in half, when I was saved by Leona.
      "Whew. Thanks."
      "Shut up and fight!"
      I run toward Jin, with almost unbelievable speed. In an instant, I am right in front of him. I punch his stomach, but he catches my punch in mid-air. I hear a voice behind him.
      "Did you forget that I am here too?"
      A flash of blue. Leona was behind him, and had slashed him quite deeply. He was surprised.
      I touched my tattoo. I EXPECTED the transformation to follow after I did so, and so I transformed.
      It was a little painful. Again, I grew black wings. My hands and feet became razor-sharp claws. My eyes become those slits again. I suddenly feel a burst of adrenaline and power.
      I looked around a bit and saw that Jin had healed up, the wound on his back was closed as if it never was there.
      Leona slashes him a few more times, but all of his wounds heal up in an instant. He grabs Leona by the face and flings her away. She was surprised. I used my crappy telekinesis to slow her down a bit, and she was able to stand up and came to a halt.
      "Shit. I underestimated him."
      She stopped time again. We both rushed at him, and he was standing still, as if paralyzed. Too easy.
      He disappears, and appears right behind us.
      "Heh, I can move from one place to another so fast that the time taken for travelling that distance is zero. It's equal to stopping time." (Note: I don't exactly remember what he said, but I am sure he meant something like this.)
      I use magic. The familiar rings appear on my hand again. I wanted to try one thing I didn't do before.
      I touched the water symbol, and the wind, both at the same time. An immense wave of water flowed out out my hands, followed by a fierce wind that directed it towards my opponent. The force of the water was so great that he smashed into the wall behind him, leaving several deep cracks in it.

      I became non-lucid here. I suspect that I had a DEILD in the process, and the dream continued with a new one. I wasn't lucid. All I was doing was fighting Jin without knowing why. Leona, whom I forgot was my DG, swing her sword in a horizontal, circular motion. Huge shock waves cam from her sword, and hit Jin simultaneously. With each hit, he was pressed deeper and deeper into the wall.
      I became lucid again, after thinking for a while about who was that girl helping me. Then I remembered. She is my DG!
      Jin was heavily injured. I wanted to end this soon. I looked over at Leona. She understood, and threw me her sword. It flashed in air for a bit, and I caught it in my hand. As soon as I touched it, all of my anger and hatred flew out of me, and was replaced by hope, love and warmth. Heh, as expected of Leona's sword.
      With a burst, I rushed toward him. He was almost unconscious, being injured that badly. I am ten meters from him. Five. One. Clang!
      My sword hits and invisible barrier. I see Jin smiling.
      "You can't cut me with THAT sword. It's not made for you to control."
      Maybe he was right. But I saw a way around it. Throwing Leona's sword back to her, I quickly put my palm on his face. Good. At least I can reach him.
      Since he won't be defeated by that "good" sword, I decided to try something else. My view switched to second-person here, as if I was right beside myself.
      The rings were still there near my wrists. Almost instinctively, I touched the symbol for darkness.
      I don't really always know which symbol I am pressing, but by EXPECTING that symbol to be pressed, I can use magic a lot faster. I am not sure if those symbols even remain the same, because text and the like changes in dreams, right? But since it's all Japanese or something, I can't understand.
      Again, the dark fire came out from my hands. With my left hand, I slashed him through the middle. My claws were sharper than I thought. He was sliced clean in half. He turned to dust, and vanished.
      In the spot where he was standing, there was my sword. I heard a disembodied voice.
      "Good work, kid. Guess that's it for now."
      I picked it up. It was normal again.
      Leona was right beside me. What THE heck? Wasn't she a good distance away? Oh well.
      "That really IS one tough sword."
      "Yeah, better than that emo sword of yours. What's with all the love and warmth and the goodness thing? I mean, you're WAY more evil than me."
      Leona grins. I see her blood red vampire eyes for the slightest moment. "I need something to keep that evil inside me. This 'good' sword acts as a cancelling thing. Without it, you'd be dead one minute into each and every one of your dreams."
      "Wha.....??!!"
      But I didn't get to ask more. I could feel a sudden vibration inside me. The vibration get's stronger and stronger, and my vision starts to blur. I try to spin, but I have no control over my dream body. The vibration gets even more violent, and I wake up.


      PS sorry for the late update, guys. I am quite busy here with my exams, for the moment. They will end one week from now. Look forward to daily updates after my exams finish!

    2. Task of the month for May 2010.

      by , 06-09-2010 at 04:17 PM (LUCIDMAX's max lucids!)
      Task of the month for May.

      Rating : ★★★☆☆

      Basic Task: Give someone a flower.
      Advanced Task: Skydive from a skyscraper.

      I am having a non-lucid dream. I dreamed that I was a runaway from a prison, with a dead-or-alive demand for me. Cops are running behind me. I don't have any weapons. I run up near a military vehicle, which suddenly switches itself on. It is a tank. The barrel of the tank aims at me. The cops catch up. They grab my arms and force me to stand there, waiting for the fatal bomb. It fires. In slow motion, I see it coming. It is more like a rocket launcher rocket. It hits my middle. A deafening explosion, an extreme pain, and everything is gone.


      I wake up. I think, "Thank goodness, it was just a dream. How the heck didn't I become lucid?" I look around. I am in my room. Out of habit, I pinch my nose. I can still breathe! No, wait a minute! I look at my hands. There is no palm, just my wrist and a dozen fingers floating in air. So it is a dream. I get up, and concentrate on the environment. My vision sharpens. I can not see anything, because it's all dark. Usually, I sleep with so much darkness that I can sometimes not tell the difference when I open my eyes and close them. That make me more comfortable, though. I start out of the room, open the door, and find myself on the roof of a building.

      I was at the top of the World Trade Center. Remembering the task of the month, I summoned some parachutes for me and some of my friends, who somehow happened to be there. We all run far back, and I see that my shoes have now become roller blades. All for the better, I thought. We speed towards the end, but there was a fence type barrier, almost two meters high, that protected people from falling. At the last moment, I do a back flip, flawlessly avoiding it.
      I am in mid-air, and rushing toward the ground. The wind was holding me up, slowing my fall. It was amazing, with the wind against my face and through my clothes. I decide to try some acrobatic tricks, but I find that it is quite hard to move about. All I manage is to roll about a bit.
      Somehow, the ground was still far away. Then one of my friends comes over to help me with tricks in mid-air. She looks like a pro, doing back flips and all kinda weird stuff that I would only manage in a lucid and on the ground. She teaches me the basics of using the air resistance and adjusting angles and such, and pretty soon I am able to do some quite impressive moves. I thank her for that, and suddenly the basic task clicks on in my mind. I look for a flower in my pocket, but all I find is a doll of a clown. I look desperately for a flower elsewhere, and spot one little decoration rose in the breast pocket of my tuxedo. I take it out, and it's still fresh. I give her the flower, telling her that it was a token of appreciation. She looks delighted by it, and thanks me. Now that I have no more tasks, I look around. I am still falling, but somehow we are at the Mount Everest. In fact, I am right on top of it. I am about to hit the ground, but I turn gravity off quickly, slowing my fall to a graceful landing.


      I love being at the top of the mountain. It is so cold out here, but I am enjoying it. It feels like the top of the world. I summon a snowboard made out of pure, white ice. What a beautiful scene! Though I have never snowboarded IRL, I jump on the snowboard and start sliding. Soon, I gather a lot of speed. I am skating down the mountain, with all the white snow and the frosted trees and even a frozen lake surrounding me. The beauty of it takes my breath away. I skate for a long time, perhaps 30 or so minutes worth of lucid dreaming, enjoying the scenery. The dream becomes unstable soon after that, and I wake up.
