lucid

I am officially an idiot XD

I woke up and went about my morning routine. ..until I tried to turn on a light switch and nothing happened. At first I thought the light bulb had died, or the electricity, but then it struck me: switches don't work in dreams!! So I did a reality check: dropping to the floor like a plank. Usually I can make myself float like that. Not this time, though. So I tried the light switch again, still nothing.

I looked out of the window, and saw the view from my dorm room.. ..where I used to live 10 years ago. But of course, I just went "oh ok." and woke up for real.

Psh.

I'd woken up in the middle of the night from the sound of storm outside. I lay awake for a few hours, but finally managed to fall asleep.

Dream 1:
I had ordered something that the neighbour opposite us had or whatever, so I went over to his place but he still had to go pick it up himself. So we got into his car (he had 2 baby girls in there too) and drove to the place, which was like some kind of warehouse. Inside, I just took some time to look around, and a really skinny girl caught my attention. She was bent over doing something, facing away from me, and her hotpants showed a little opening right at her butt hole. I wondered if she knew, and if she'd gotten raped because of it.

Then my attention swayed towards another peculiar item: my sister's severed head. On a display-thingie. (for those of you who have seen the film "Return to OZ", it looks like the witch's cabinet of heads) So I looked at it, and it looked back at me! Not like a doll looks back at you, but she literally turned her eyes towards me. I freaked out and looked away again. ..only to look back at it, of course. It was looking away from me, but as I was looking she turned her whole head towards me. Still freaked out, something dawned on me: I might be dreaming, this was just too freaky to be real. So I went over to her (not fully lucid, just the hunch occurred to me) and she opened her mouth and had vampire fangs.

I woke up, thinking how absurd that was and rolled over.. ..straight into SP!

It lasted a whole lot longer than it normally does, and I felt a constant vibration rather than separate waves. I saw all sorts of things but they flashed before my eyes so fast I couldn't really make out any of them. My eyes were rapidly blinking, by the way, I couldn't control it. And then it was over, I opened my eyes and..

Dream 2:
I felt myself being pulled up to a sitting position. My room was darker than it should have been, so I went "Alrighty, let's see what I've got in store for myself this time!" and walked out my door into my living room. It was.. ..different in an awesome way!! My furniture was rearranged into the coolest configuration!! I'll try to reconstruct it in The Sims 3 tonight and post a picture!

I also noticed I had a back yard (which I don't, because I live in an apartment), and swings inside the back porch. So I swung and swung again and let go and soared right through the glass window, into the back yard. From here on, I couldn't actually leave, so I just dropped to the ground and floated up. This time I was just going to hover like some hovering doofus. I went up up up all the way, I could see half the world! Then I figured maybe that's a bit much. After all, space is just mostly emptiness. So I lowered myself again and landed on some rooftop, just as the inhabitant of the house I landed on came home.

He, too, was flying, but he flew up to his 2nd-story window upstraight, not swimming like I do. So before he went inside I just went "HEY!!" and he replied with a greeting and joined me on the rooftop. He raised an eyebrow. "..what are YOU doing here??" I just shrugged. "Doesn't matter, this is a dream, so.." He looked at me in awe. "This is a dream!? ..huh!" he got excited too about the idea.

And then my leg decided to go spasmic and I woke up.

Dream 1
I'm drinking Coca Cola with friends and suddenly realise I'm dreaming because I HATE Coca Cola XD Not the brand itself, just the taste of cola. So I shout "THIS IS A DREAM!!" and wake up into Sleep Paralysis.
I realise how lucky I am, and just let it be. I hear a high-pitched giggle (HH).

Dream 2

I find out I can move again, and open my eyes. My room is all white (should be dark shades of grey), my door has no handle, it is instead attached to my wall As if that wasn't clear enough, I check my hands. I tilt my hand backwards (perspective makes my fingers look smaller), and when I tilt my hand back up, my fingers are still small XD

So I spin around (I always do this after a FA, in an attempt to summon C.), and walk out my door.. ..straight into a staircase-hall. So I follow the stairs all the way down, thinking "..what's with these stairs, anyway..". When I hit the bottom, there's a door to my left, askew, and I can see the end of a bed and clothes on it. Instead of going in (it's MY dream, after all!) I decide to just leave it be and look around. I see another door with a few steps leading to it. It's a back door and leads to a back yard that looks vaguely familiar to me. I can't put my finger on it, but I know it'll come to me later.

Suddenly I realise there's another door (it must have only just materialized..), which is the front door. I walk out of it and.. ..I'm in Woodley (just outside Reading, England), and have just walked out of the house I used to live in during my stay in England. My housemates are sitting in the front yard (which doesn't actually exist IRL). I wave at them, but I have other things to do. Like flying. I don't really know how to go about it, but remember the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In the book, Arthur learns that "flying" is simply "falling and missing the ground". So I give that a go; I flop down on my belly and stop the ground from touching me with my hands. It works, I'm floating about an inch above the pavement. I slowly straighten my arms, effectively pushing myself upward. I'm now at about eyeline-height. I start making swimming motions and swim through the air.

I pass a female DC and some male DCs, she's stopping me like those survey people on shopping streets. Slightly annoyed I go "Ugh, seriously, I have better things to do!", but she's looking worried, so I "land" anyway. Apparently she's trying to get rid of her plane ticket to New York, where she's supposed to open/announce a circus show (I'd been watching Cirque du Soleil yesterday) as the Celebrity Guest. I laugh and joke she'd have a better chance in the US, and flop to the ground again, float and swim away. I'm now kicking my feet together, like a Mermaid's tail, and I'm reaching a nice speed. I suddenly realise I failed again at summoning C., so I try again by going around corners and expecting him there. (Seriously.. just show up, dagnabbit!)

That fails over and over, but when I look behind me, the DCs are always close to me, as if they're running after me or something. I suddenly remember my little contest with Nito89 (in Matte's Competition Thread) and try to summon him. Doesn't work either, and I wake up.

I think I woke up because my REM cycle ended, since I woke up in the middle of it, I was still in SP..
This is memorable, because it's my first attempt at flying, and I'd say I've done rather well

Maybe C was in that one room with the door askew? Next time I get lucid I'll remember to check out each and every opportunity.

1st dream, 03.49 am.

I was dreaming so i figured i'd just see where the dream would take me. It took me into the 1986 my little pony film!! I watched as mama licketisplit saved baby sweetie belle from the smooze. And i figured this had to be a cut scene as i didn't remember ever seeing it. Lost lucidity at this point and mama licketisplit was a unicorn and saved baby sweetize belle from falling over the smooze waterfall.

2nd dream and 3rd dream, 06.13 am.

I'm not 100% sure i had 2 seperate dreams, or if i sreamed about a WILD or if I had a real One. Point is, i went lucid.

I'm in a computer room with Agnes and her (ex IRL) boyfriend. He's gaming, playing zelda on pc. Something about the creatures being real.

I'm in my bed again, i can see the color swirls that usually precede hypnogogic hallucinations and unlike usually, i'm apparently far gone already, as i can feel my body being paralized. I panic, try to call for help but nothing happens. I calm down. Apparently there's nothing i can do, so I just brace myself for the ride. Apparently I'm having a WILD.

Let the hallucinations come over me, now recognising them for what they are and knowing what they lead to, check my hand when i woke up and my right hand has toes for fingers. 6 of them XD so i clap to myself a few times to channel the initial excitement.

I walk out my bedroom door where my friend Nicole is, and apparently we have a dog too. And we're on ground level rather than first, where my appartment is IRL. ..i was actually wishing for someone else but he, again, did not appear.

I tell them i'm dreaming, but they just ignore me. I touch the window and it just gives way, as if it was ice rather than glass. I call for their attention and push my whole finger through. They're still ignoring it, so I pull a trail down with my finger through the glass.

We go outside outside with another friend (pedro) and Pablo, bartender at my favourite pub and apparently Nicole's boyfriend. As we're walking, i tell Pablo to remind me that I'm actually dreaming so I don't lose my lucidity. We walk past a dog that's barking violently, i tell myself that this is a dream and i can do anything. So I look intensely at the dog and say "sit" calmly but firmly. It sits down, looking up at me in confusion.

Now, things from the previous dream seep in and Nicole turns out to be an animal morph, needing to be rescued from one of the Zelda creatures and there's a lamb and the whole dream gets unstable and i try to teleport Nicole out of there to save her, but I wake up.

Finally I did a WILD, although not intentionally. I enter the hallucinations phase fairly often, but as they're so terrifying I usually do everything I can to wake up from them. Of course, that was before I learned they're the road to a lucid dream! So now, I don't TRY to do a WILD but when it just sort of happens, I'll just let it happen, it wasn't so bad this time.

I had a random lucid dream last week, but i could not 'make things happen'.

I was cycling through a nearby town, when suddenly something wasn't right geographically and i realised i was dreaming. Soooo i decided i'd conjure up a particular artist i admire, but nothing happened, he did not show up.

I know i *can* do this, i have conjured up Jack Sparrow before!!

This is my first DV DJ entry.. I do keep a blog about my dreams (because I can blog from my phone, so I won't have to bother turning on my computer, waiting, and losing dream details), but I really wanted to share this one.

The main dream was about my mum and i having an operation. When we were put under, i had a lucid dream. But when i woke up, back into the main dream, i did not maintain my lucidity.

Which is a bit stupid, because NOTHING was rational in the main dream. ..the operation room was a field, the sky was Orange and the doctors were skelletons. ..noooothing weird at all about that which might suggest being in a dream, right? XD

It kinda looked like an Iron Maiden poster, which is weird, because I hardly ever listen to Iron Maiden. I like them, but lately I've been more into J-rock and haven't listened to them for a while.
Maybe my brain went operation=doctors=nurses=women=virgins=maiden=iron maiden?
