Oneirin's Dreamworld

In a random house structure, and my brother and father are nearby in the kitchen area. I'm looking for some olive oil to add while looking through the pantry behind me. There's some tortillas sitting next to everything. As I'm mixing the ingredients into the guacamole, I get a flash that Hey, I'm dreaming! I consider working right away on some dream goals, then think 'hey man there's some guacamole right here, I might as well enjoy some of this first I try to go a little bit quicker, so I pick up the pace with making it and tasting it for a few seconds - it was pretty realistic. The dream fades rapidlyand I slip into a non-lucid which comes close to breaking through before waking.

1. I see a brown leather couch begin to appear in my hypnagogic imagery. I try to slowly phase into the scene. I'm snapped back to WL after a short while, then refocus my awareness. I relax, and the couch appears and becomes ever more vivid. I think to some dream yoga techniques, and go to reach out a phantom limb to attempt touching the couch and engaging tactile sense. I slightly feel an arm come out and begin to rub the couch and feel the texture with my dream hand. The scene becomes a bit more clear and I'm able to slowly slip into the dream scene and become immersed in my dream body. I make it onto the couch, feeling it, then turn around and recline a bit on it. As I sit down my lucidity slowly slips, and transition to a non-lucid shortly after.

2. I'm walking down the walkway in the front of a house, which slightly resembles my grandparents' old house. I see thin metal black railings trailing on either side of the walkway as I descend the stairs.As I descened, I suddenly realize I'm dreaming and bring my right hand out, saying "I'm lucid". I stare at the hand a bit longer to build up clarity. I continue my way down the walkway and decide that I'm going to stay busy and active in this lucid to see how it affects length and stability. I bring my hands out and stare intently, verbally reminding myself I'm lucid and shouting for clarity. I continue walking down to where the black driveway is at the end of the walkway. Three different types of pickup trucks are parked in the driveway. I recall the three goals I set before bed of exploration, eating some dark chocolate squares, and teleporting to a dream sanctuary. I make my way to the first pickup, open the passenger door, and climb in. I enter the glove compartment and begin to try to manifest to some dark chocolate to see how it affects the dream/stability. I unnzip a few compartment of a camera case, but nothing comes out except the large camera in the main compartment. I look into the screen and see a faded image of a female face with closed eyes laying down. I turn around and climb into the back seat seeing if I can manifest a dream character my stating verbal intent before hand. The seats are empty, but I continue to climb back then exit. I continue on to the next pickup, and see the next sitting behind. I try to verbally prep another DC to be in this pickup, but it's empty as well. I reason that I can drive the pickup a bit, but I figure I'll just fly instead! I turn away and fly low to the ground down the driveway. I consider teleporting through a part of the pickup, but decide against it. I float toward the road, eventually land and walk a bit, exploring. i soon wake up.

1. I'm in the kitchen of my home running around the tops of counters and doing back flips off of the top off of my fridge. I'm explaining lucid dreaming to someone in the room, and explaining how they can imagine it being like Neo in The Matrix. After this explanation, I stop and realize I'm inside of a dream. I say "I'm lucid". I consider stabilizing a bit a think eating a square of dark chocolate is a good idea. I go into the fridge and pull out a small container with a few squares. I open and continue walking through the house as I bite small pieces. It tastes pretty close to real life! I concentrate as it melts in my mouth, similar to the dream yoga beginner lessons. I walk down the hallway and approach the front door. I consider opening it, then think Nope!... and phase through the glass. I enter into the front yard and take in the new arrangement of bushes, color of the grass etc.I decide to raise clarity and focus a bit and stabilize the dream. I think back to Nina's Stabilization and Clarity Tutorial and test out one of the techs which I set as a goal. I put both hands in front of me and start demanding clarity and lucidity, over and over. My hands become more vivid and appear life-like. I look up to check the clarity of the foliage and notice it's a bit more vivid too. I progress to another goal and shout to my subconscious to help me become more lucid more often, repeating this a few times. I then ask my subconscious a couple times how to become lucid more frequently. I notice the lucid becoming a bit unstable and start dream spinning to prevent collapse, and increase clarity. I spin many times, moving my eyes up and down my field of vision
but the lucid slips into a non-lucid.

2. I'm in the kitchen of my home speaking to S and her Bro. He's telling me about the web page to the soccer camp he's organizing. I look at him intently, noticing something is strange. My awareness raises, and I put my right hand in front of him and say "I'm lucid" with a smile.I ask if there's any dark chocolate around, or if I have to summon it. They say there isn't, so I begin opening a drawer to pull some out. I pull out the container, but it's just crumbs left. I begin walking to the front of the house, and figures I'll just shake some slabs out of a jacket sleeve in the closet. I try it, but still crumbs. I munch on a few crumbs as I approach the front of the house. I make my way to the front of the house, and head down a walkway which closely resembles that of my childhood home I see a couple crash cans with slabs of dark chocolate adhered to the sides. I decide - 'that'll work' and crack off a huge slab. I become hesitant as I figure there might be a super-funky pungent trash taste/small. I casually dust it and don't worry. It tastes pretty good too, and my clarity raises a bit. I walk a bit further down the driveway
Then wake up.

1. I'm aware of the dreamscape, standing in the back of the living room area in my home. My body is locked in place, but I can see the dark room and all the furniture. I think back to some dream yoga techniques and start feeling and moving 'phantom arms' into the dream scape, feeling them, and then seeing them appear. I begin gaining a bit of mobility and slide into the scene a bit. As I'm transitioning

I find myself in bed. I look toward the headboard and notice a small diamond pattern in the center with a dot in the middle. I notice something is wrong and realize I don't have a headboard!

2. I see S laying next to me face down and roll on top of the cover. I roll onto her as she's sleeping and look down a bit excited. After a few seconds..

I wake up in seems to be WL, and I go for a DEILD.

I realize I'm in a dream as I'm walking through the downstairs hallway of my childhood home. I'm heading toward the kitchen, and look at the counter in the center of the kitchen. I notice two plates with different food. The back plate is stacked with pasta and meatballs, and decide to try to the meatballs. I take one in each hand and look at the colors in depth and notice how vivid the browns and reds are. I go to bite each and am surprised by how realistic the taste is. I eat both as I head into the back room. I notice that somebody made a few trays of desserts, and decide to try some of these too! I grab choose between a few different varieties of donuts, and go for a chocolate one and a filled one. As I'm looking down I wonder how long the lucid will last and wonder if I should stabilize at all. With the thought, the dream becomes a bit unstable and starts to fade. I begin rubbing hands as I go into the void. I start to lose some awareness, and feel like I'm returning to WL, but keep in mind it might be a FA. I stay focused on the tactile sense of the pastry, and take a bite. I hold in the void for a bit.
I have an FA where I'm talking to S about the lucid I just had. Within a few moments it hits me again that I'm dreaming this FA but my lucidity slips quickly.

I continue making my way into the tunnel below the street after exiting the snowstorm. I'm walking with a DC, and we eventually hit an end room. I make a comment that there's not a portal, and wonder what we're going to do. It suddenly hits me: I'm dreaming. I say "I'm lucid" as my awareness comes through. I tell myself that none of this even matters, and refuse to continue with the dream plot. I begin walking toward the exit. I notice I need to go to the bathroom, but continue to ignore it, and it goes away. I continue walking down the narrow tunnel with white walls, and a DC follows behind me. I try to conjure another DC by imagining one visually, but the image does not actually manifest in the dream. I continue walking and decide to try conjuring some food. I decide to create a buffalo wing for some reason, and notice it only tastes slightly like the real thing. The visual isn't very defined. My dream goals don't kick in fully, so I wonder what I want to do as I head farther down. The dream begins to fade, and I wake.

I'm stepping out to the front yard of my childhood home in the daytime. I raise high into the air quickly, and tell myself "I'm lucid" as a concentrate to raise my awareness of the dream more. I continue to raise upward above the front of the property, and fly above the street. I want to test my memory of waking life, and immediately jump to dream goals I have been thinking of. My first thought is that I want to find my spirit guide. I look left down the road, then turn around to fly above a house. As I head above the roof, the dream collapses quickly and I return to my body.

I hold still and set to DEILD. I go through two rounds of vibrations...

And find myself in the front of my childhood home again. I brief memory of my previous lucid clicks, and I tell myself "I'm lucid" again as my awareness comes through. I begin raising up again to continue on with goals. I raise up and turn around, but the dream fades quickly to a non-lucid.

I'm in a one-story structure speaking to S who is sitting on the couch. I tell her that I can teach her how to have an out of body experience. I then put my right hand through my left palm, and realize I'm dreaming! I head by the DC and toward the sliding glass doors, determining what I want to do. I turn left, but quickly decide against staying indoors, and decide to start the search for my spirit guide. I head through the glass doors, and enter an area with a small body of water in the center. The area has a greenish hue throughout it, and has a partial ceiling. I begin to ask for my spirit guide. I stare into the center of the body of water. and notice that a small circle begins bubbling in the center as if the water is beginning to boil down below. I continue to wait in this green glowing area, but nothing happens. I turn around and head out of this area. I continue walking for a short period of time, but head back to the previous room since it was more interesting. The dream begins fading quickly, so I try to stabilize by spinning and moving my vision around. The dream goes to void, but I keep spinning to wait it out. I begin getting a headache which seems to be in the front of my dream head and the dream goes to a non-lucid.

I'm heading through side rooms within the building that sits far above the massive room filled with water. A DC continues to follow me, and it seems that I'm showing him what doors to go through as we rapidly progress from room to room in the old building. As I come up to one of the doors, my hand comes in front of me and I say I'm dreaming. My awareness begins to raise at the same time and I know I'm in a dream. I stop myself before opening the door, turn to the DC following me and tell him that this is a waste of time; let's got to forest area. I open the door anticipating a forest scene to appear, but the door just leads to a another room within the complex. I enter the gray room and make a right, beginning to head toward the staircase. I decide to exit the complex by flying and running. I fly up the stairs and see a small rectangular amber window which seems to be leading outside. I fly toward it to change the scene,but quickly vibrate back to my body.

I'm heading toward the exit of school building, and making my way through the second floor stairwell. I'm thinking about dreams, and becoming lucid in them. As I approach an outdoor balcony connected to this area, it hits me that i am actually now inside of a dream. I Begin to fly over the railing to travel out of the area of the building and toward the forest beyond. The dream feels a bit unstable, and I'm a bit cautious of flying at the time. I want to head farther into the distance to explore the dream scene, and feel walking would be better for a couple minutes until I can build some stability. I head a bit farther, then begin flying, and the dream begins to fade.

I'm standing at a counter top area on the first floor level of a structure which appears to be a family home. The room has a bright white hue to it. An individual resembling my father walks into the room, and I begin to get a strange feeling about the situation. I nose-plug and am hit with the realization that I'm in a dream.I take in the visual male figure in front of me, across the counter-top. I want to take the opportunity to check why my hand RCs usually never work to verify that I'm dreaming. I look at my right hand and notice that it's a near perfect re-creation. I then look at my left and notice that one of my scars is gone, and my ring is missing. I gaze left into a kitchen area, and there is a older female who resembles my mom, but with a younger look and shorter hair. She's sitting at he head of the table, and a very young girl is sitting on one of the sides working on something that appears to be school work. I intuitively realize that this is supposed to be my sister in the dreamworld; I find it very interesting, yet strange. White light spills in at the end of the table, through the glass. I see a few snacks in Tupperware set on the table to the left of the girl's school work. I turn to my mom, and am curious about the DC's concept of my name in this strange family. I ask her, "Mom, what's my name? She looks at me with a slightly annoyed expression, and in a very sarcastic tone tells me: "Football; your name is football. I look back at the table and take look at the contents of the Tupperware containers. The first contains bars with light pink. The second contains light brown bars that look like milk chocolate. I try to taste one, but it isn't very flavorful. I decide to walk to the fridge to try to make some dark chocolate bars appear. I approach and open the right door but I quickly vibrate back to my body, and hold very still, trying to DEILD for a bit.

I'm standing out in the street in front of my home. The sun has just set to my right, and I gaze down the street at the surreal colors. I note the surreal feel, and begin to become aware of the dream-feel. I nose-plug and become lucid. I begin to fly above the lawn, and immediately start thinking about dream goals I set before bed. I see a massive ornate Christmas tree, roughly three stories high, situated in the middle of the front lawn. There are vivid ornaments - mostly red - finely decorating the tree. Many nut-cracker ornaments are on the tree as well. I wind around it, taking in all the vivid decoration while feeling a sense of joy and smiling to myself. I ask the dream for my spirit guide to appear. I circle the tree a bit and try to make it to the very center of the top to stand on it. It feels as though a small force field is keeping me away. My spirit guide doesn't show, so I decide to ask the dream how I can become lucid more often. A small evergreen tree appears on the lawn at the base of the tree. Another evergreen then spawns directly to the left of it, rivaling the size of the Christmas tree. As I fly to stand on the top, and await an answer, another larger evergreen spawns to the left of this one. An outward spiraling circle of evergreens, continuously growing in size, spirals outward as I fly upward, not quite landing on any particular one. While flying upward, I reflect on what this may mean, and consider that it either means 'trust in nature' and/or I'll progressively get better in time. I continue upward toward even taller evergreens, yet the dreams become dim very quickly and I lose lucidity for a brief period.

Portal Mirror
I'm in the upstairs bathroom in my childhood home looking into the mirror. Things look fairly normal, yet I get a strange feeling, and have an inclination to RC. I nose-plug, realize I'm dreaming, and feel a bit of surprise. I walk out into the hallway. The house is dark, and it appears to be late at night. The hallway is dimmed, and there seems to be a blueish hue coming from my brother's room, suggesting he has a screen on in the back. I begin to head into my brothers room, but strongly decide not to get wrapped up with DCs and possibly distracted. I turn right, enter the guest room, and begin think about my goals. I remember that I wanted to meet my spirit guide as well as trying to teleport through a mirror. I enter the room, and look against the left wall to see a tall mirror leaning against it. I think about how this is perfect for TPing and head toward it. I walk right through, thinking about a forested area I'd want to go to. I enter a void area, and wait for some visuals to kick in. I think about an area resembling Darnassus, picture some architecture and colors in my mind's eye. Nothing kicks in yet, so I start humming some music and keep myself anchored in this void for a bit longer. I verbally recite my goal as well. After a bit longer in this void I lose lucidity and pop up into a non-lucid for a short period.

I'm watching Anthony play some kind of game on the couch in the basement of my childhood home. I'm in a good mood, and wand to start a conversation with him about lucid dreaming. He's focused on a screen, holding a remote and I begin to fly all around him. I want to show him all of my flying abilities, and explain that you can start flying in dreams when you practice lucid dreaming. I fly across the room and up the stairs, and start to realize something is strange about the situation, and that my thoughts don't make perfect sense. My self awareness builds a bit and I mentally tell myself, 'No, you're IN a lucid dream right now'. I'm hit with the realization of what this means (observing the thought process and transition from a semi-lucid to lucid state was very interesting - a great learning experience). I take a couple seconds to really observe the shift in my awareness and begin to fly rapidly around the stairs, enjoying the freedom and sense of presence. I fly back into the downstairs area but quickly transfer to a FA in which I begin recalling the lucid events, and begin writing my friend's name down in my written dream journal. The FA soon fades into a non-lucid.

I'm trying to collect items to bring to a fund raiser, and a woman with blonde hair approaches and tell me about a family at the school that is going through a tough time and may need some assistance. I try to be polite as I listen and multi-task. I turn back to the conference table a group of people are at, and the woman's hair transforms. I approach the double doors, and realize I'm dreaming. I turn to the group at the table and fly toward them. I tell them we're dreaming, and continue to fly through the doors and new a new building area. There is a massive glass wall on the first floor, and a great view to a beach at sunset. The sunset is an awesome amber color, and the sand as well as water is visible. I fly up into the room, and see people arranged in small groups, laying down on the gray concrete floor and holding conversations. Some reggae music by Iration comes on over the speakers
and I'm really enjoying the scene. I fly around all the groups, but don't jump into any conversations; it feels a bit strange to. I decide to fly down to the beach and fly over to the glass. I see a group of three below me as I approach the glass, and take in all the faces. The dream gets a bit blurry and I wake up.
