lucid

I hate journaling from my phone, but I gotta get this dream down!

There was craziness before this part, but I have little time: I was in a nonlucid where I was a little girl in a blue dress, eating Cheetos and skipping through the aisles at a Dollar Store looking place. I dropped several Cheetos on the floor, and decided to go to where they kept the brooms so I could sweep up my mess. As I approached a broom, I recalled that I had WBTBed just moments before, trying for a lucid. Yeah! I thought "now what did I want to do?" But could not for the life of me think of doing a TOTM. So instead I just grabbed the broom and decided to fly around the store on it like a witch. I hopped on the broom and rose up a bit then landed. I thought "damn, you fly all the time in dreams without a broom, you can do this." So I imagined the feeling of flying on my own, and that the broom was really just a prop, and it worked! There were 3 large mirrors in the store, and I flew by them so I could see myself on the broom. I even tried side saddle lol! I was still wearing a blue dress, but now it was a long, formal blue satin gown. My hair was in a bun and I was wearing glasses, looking very much like the fairy godmother from Shrek, only taller and younger. I got off the broom and went to a tall mirror. I remember thinking how much lucid dreams are like being a witch or wizard. I decided to give my reflection a makeover. I slimmed my hands down my waist, trying to elongate my body to look more svelt. Then I created THIS SONG IN THE DREAM as I was parading around in front of the mirror. It sounded like something from a Disney movie. And the last line actually was from little mermaid, which is why is doesn't fit with the rest. But the first four lines totally came from me. I woke up right after and forced myself to remember it because it was so ridiculous!

I can make myself thinner and trimmer and slimmer,
Leaving only what makes me look niiiiiice,
I can remove all the pouches and slouches and gouches,
So that EVERYone always looks twiiiiiice.
I pull out what's inside and I serve it up fried,
God I love little fishes, don't you?

This is another one of my "ewww OMG" lucids, so proceed with caution.

Spoiler for NSFW:

I drifted off into mindless sleep after a bunch of WBTBs, after we lost power early this morning irl. I suddenly was aware at the start of a dream. It all happened kinda fast, and I thought at first I had just woken up because I was just lying on my stomach in my bed in the dark. But not 1 second later I heard a voice telling me to "go ahead and have sex with her." Sure enough I could feel the form of a naked woman beneath me, and her arms were above her head, tied to idk what (since my bed doesn't have bed posts). I remember that most of these next few moments were pretty much all feeling, an no seeing, since it was almost completely dark. You know how your mind forms a picture of something that you feel when your eyes are closed or when it's really dark? That's what it was like. Really cool, because I feel like I wasn't so distracted visually, which tends to happen a lot in my sex LDs. Anyway, I was fully male at this point, and decided to go ahead and treat myself haha. The woman seemed to not want me to, and protested at first. Sorry babe, this is my dream. I had a little trouble at first getting it in. That happens to me sometimes, where it kinda goes limp in places, then gets a little bendy while trying to go all the way in lol. I need to remember to try lucid Viagra one time and see what happens. I didn't give up, and finally started banging her. She stopped protesting at this point, and this is my favorite part: Since I wasn't encumbered by the scene visually, all my lucid energy and focus went to just feeling. And hell, the scene was already set up for me at the start anyway, so I just got to go with the flow. So I started kissing her skin: her neck, shoulders, arms. I massaged her boobs and they felt freaking real. Her skin was ridiculously soft, and I've said this before in my DJ: no wonder you guys go bonkers for chicks. I kissed her chest, all the while still having sex with her, and stopped at her right breast. I sucked on the part where her nipple should have been, but there wasn't one. Then suddenly a pencil-eraser-sized nipple just kind popped into place, which drove me almost to the edge, but then I woke up.

I woke up feeling pretty good after that one!

I was non lucid, shopping around with my mom, and Brian from work. He sold 2 of his lamps that I wanted to a member on DV in the dream, on a side note. Anyway, in the car on the way back from the store, a dream sign that I can't freaking recall, was kinda tickling my mind. I remember looking out the car window thinking about it, wondering if I was lucid. The dream was so boring and uninteresting at this point, that first I convinced myself that it was real life. Then something snapped in my brain and I realized I WAS in fact dreaming. Wish I could remember what it was.

Anyway, I asked mom to slow down the car. It took a while for her to stop, which annoyed me. I even closed my eyes for some reason. I felt the car stop, then I opened my eyes and we were parked in a garage of some house. I got out and went inside, and mom and Brian followed me. All 3 of us were in the livingroom, which only had a large mirror and curtains, and wasn't very well lit. Told you I wanted those lamps BRIAN. I was frantically trying to remember the basic tasks, but I couldn't. I asked mom and Brian, they shrugged. I even pondered for a moment if I would have luck getting on DV on my phone in a lucid lol. But no use, the only task I could remember was the one I didn't really want to do: take out my heart and give it to a DC. I stood in front of the mirror, and I was wearing a red, lowcut shirt. I just stuck my thumb and first 2 fingers into the flesh just above my heart, and pushed. I didn't actually break the skin, just my fingers were phasing through the layers of skin, fat, muscle and bone, just above my left boob. It didn't hurt and there was no blood (which is customary in these types of LDs for me). After a few inches, I felt a medium sized organ, which felt appropriately shaped like a human heart. It was warm, and gooey, and suspended in warm goo. I gently wrapped my thumb and fingers around it, and slowly pulled it out of my chest. There was a long slit in my chest left behind, but again, no blood. I went to hand it to my mom, but only Brian was still there. When I went to hand it to him, he didn't want to have anything to do with it lol. He actually looked panicked. I just said "Hey man, this is just for a task. Just hold it for a second and then give it back if you want." I thought I would just spend the rest of the lucid trying to put it back in my chest. So he held it for one second and gave it right back. I don't think he even looked at it. I looked back to the mirror, and pushed my heart back into the crevice that was left behind. And that was about it. I remember feeling accomplished after that, then I woke up maybe 2 seconds later.

Later on I had a non lucid where I explained to my son what I had done. I went through the whole thing again, but with him instead of Brian. Even took my heart out again, to demonstrate. It didn't occur to me once that this might be a dream. It was a very well made retelling of the story haha.

So this was from a few nights ago so I don't even remember when I got lucid, only that it was a DILD. I only recall thinking about the bonus task from January and not really wanting to do it. So I SOMEHOW came to the conclusion that the basic task was to "look at myself in a mirror or reflective surface, see my reflection, then cause the mirror to crack." Lol WHERE did I get that???

Anyway, I was in something resembling the Plaza of the Americas in Downtown Dallas, and I thought, "Hey! I can use the ice rink as a reflective surface!" I was up way too high to get to the ice, and thought about jumping over the rail, but didn't want to feel pain if I cracked on the ice. I was feeling incredibly lucid, despite my TOTM memory blunder, and saw a way to round the corner of the rink that would put me level with the ice, and an opening to the rink was there. So I ran to it, and entered the rink.

I noticed that there were ice hockey players practicing at the time, and they were so rough on the ice, that somehow the ice cracked in sheets and sunk mere inches below freezing water, right when I was trying to get to it to see my reflection. I had a moment of doubt about seeing my reflection on ice rink ice since it's opaque, plus the fact that it was now a bit under water. I plowed forward. I crouched down on the slowly submerging ice, looked down, and sure enough, I saw my reflection on a chunk of ice a few inches below the water. I looked at my face, willing the ice to crack, and it immediately split down the center with a crack!

Today, I recall nothing after that moment.

Seems like I only LD when trying to do a TOTM these days. Come on Ophelia, a little more motivation here!

Anyway, I had a TON of lengthy nonlucids last night/early morning. So many that I barely recalled my brief stint with the basic task of the month. I don't even recall how I got lucid, just a vague recollection of jumping high and being in an extremely odd building. I do remember being happy that I was lucid, and thought of the basic 1 task right away. I was alone in this huge building that was somewhat reminiscent of a super fancy embassy suites: lots of interesting hanging plants and water falls, and all the many levels of rooms in a circle, surrounding the structures. I thought that I might find a DC if I simply walked into one of the rooms, expecting someone. Sure enough, I could hear someone peeing in the bathroom. I walked in and peeked (I knew it was just a DC, so I didn't care that they saw me peeking while they peed). It was a black dude sitting on the toilet, peeing lol. I said "Hey what's your name?" He said "Pepsi." I asked him "What's your new year's resolution this year?" He said something garbled, and I swear it sounded like he said to drink more Coke haha. So I asked him again to repeat and it was still garbled. Which made me mad because I really wanted a clear answer. Stupid uncooperative DCs. Then suddenly, Parrish (from the seafood department at work), grabbed me by the shoulders and hustled me out of the bathroom, which led us outside somehow. He said "Pepsi just wants to drink more Coke." I said "Ok, well what's YOUR resolution then." He just got really sad looking and said, "To be more like you."

D'awwwwwwwwwwww.

It kinda made sense though because irl we've been talking about work stress, and the effects it's had on us. Work stressed him to the point of ulcers, he can only eat like 5 things I swear to god. And he's lost a TON of weight. Not the good kind of weight loss: he was really muscular before, and now he's super skin and bones, he just can't eat. Anyway, in the dream, I just began giving him therapy about how in life when thins don't go your way and you meet your goals and find out it's not what you really wanted, you gotta replace it with something else: other goals, or hobbies. This is just typical mid-life crisis type stuff.

Anyway, pretty sure I lost lucidity after that. I remember Danny eating dead birds and eggs off the ground because the concrete was hot enough to cook them to medium-well. I told him he really DOES belong in the damn jungle.

So I was having a nonlucid where I was flying, which got me lucid. So I tried to will myself to fly faster (since I usually fly slow because I get vertigo). I did a sort of superman pose, which made me feel more streamlined, so I was able to gain speed. I tried to remember a task of the month, but all I could remember was "change gender." Which is stupid. Because it's not. What happened there was I was somewhat recalling the conversation I had with CL and BrandonBoss in the TOTY thread about if it still counts to change gender for some of the fairytale tasks. Since for example, a straight guy might not want to make out with the Beast, as Beauty lol.

Anyway, in midflight I grow boyparts, and land at some random clinic. At this point I really really believe that the TOTM is to change gender and have sex. So I end up in one of the rooms, and the nurse practitioner is a petite woman in her 50's. She's attractive, so the age doesn't put me off. She asks me some medical questions while her back it turned to me, and I just strip down as fast as I can, answering her questions in as deep a male voice I can muster. But then I caught a glimpse of myself in a full length mirror in the room, and I see that I'm still female. It reaaaaaaaaaally bums me out for some reason, and I lose lucidity. Don't really remember much else.

I want to do something that I've been thinking of for a while. Sorta like a "stabilization" thing if you will, but really more of a reaffirmation of lucidity. Every few moments or so in a lucid dream, I want to have a "time out." I'm hoping this will engage my rational mind a bit more so I don't get too caught up in stupidity. I really feel like my lucids have been shaky at best lately.

I was naughty and went to bed at 3am because I knew I could sleep in forever, so I really didn't deserve these 2 LDs, but here they are anyway

I WILDed probably around 8am. After the vibrations settled, I opened my eyes and was in my room and in bed, per pretty usual. I fought with many layers of blankets and finally got up, but then I woke up. I went back to sleep and ended up in a nonlucid in a grocery store. I was walking down the frozen aisle, when it hit me that I was JUST awake a few moments ago in my bed, trying to lucid dream. BOOM! I remembered the basic I task right away, so I looked for a dream character. My mom was in the frozen aisle too, looking through some frozen items. I said "Mom?" and she looked at me. "Can I have one of my Christmas presents early this year?" She said "Ok" as she started pushing her cart towards one of the registers. When we got in line, there were some floral arrangements on one of the endcaps. She picked one and gave it to me. It was a small, thin glass vase with 4 orchid blossoms in it. They were the most intense, hypercolored purple I'd ever seen. I said "Wow, thank you mom!!" And I was fiddling with them, kinda rearranging them. As I did that, 2 yellow gerbera daisies also appeared in the vase, then 3 roses too. I'm glad that happened, because it kinda snapped me back into the fact that I was dreaming, so I could do another task. I said "Ok by mom, I gotta go do some stuff," and I just set the vase in her cart.

When I got outside, it had snowed everywhere. ANd it looked like a tiny town in Montana or something, with mountains everywhere and everyone dressed like they were going to go ski. I took to flight, and just swam in the air. I tried to think of another task, and all I could think of was the snowman one (and how I kinda didn't really want to do it). As I was in the air, I saw AND heard wolves and bears in the mountains. I thought how much I really wanted to fly there and either battle or befriend them (wolf task HELLOOOOO... oh well). I promised myself I would after the task. I landed on a nice pile of snow across the street from the grocery store. It didn't seem like enough snow, so I willed it to snow (a skill I acquired from one of last year's tasks ). After a few inches accumulated, I got straight on my knees and started trying to form the traditional snowman from 2 big balls of snow. But they would morph a bit while I was making them, and the falling snow kept accumulating around him, basically forming him back into a big amorphic snow pile. I decided to go with it, and instead of sculpting a snowman, I decided to carve him out of the giant snow pile. I made him look a little cubic, with a weird mouth. Kind of like a cross between a robot and an Aztec god. I wasn't even using my hands, I just willed chunks of snow to fall away, leaving the relief of a snow-robot, partially embedded in the drift. I said "Ok, WALK," and when I did, he stepped out of the drift, and marched kinda robot soldier style. At this point, he wasn't even snow anymore, it was pure, clear ice somehow. Probably because I felt a bit like I was doing an ice sculpture rather than snow molding, if that makes any sense. Satisfied with my marching iceman, I thought about heading for the woods, but then I woke up.

I took a late nap, and had a couple WILDs that fizzled out kinda quick. Then suddenly I was dreaming that I was in the car with Danny on my way to work, and I was like 'hey! I was just dreaming a minute ago.' So as Danny was turning a corner, I just opened the car door and jumped out and said later.

I took to flying and the scenery was beautiful. So green and lush. And the sky was completely cloudy, but with lots of this silver linings (I will have to find a pic). I was flying in my goofy little slow way, where I'm upright, and just kinda flap my arms to change direction or gain altitude.

I flew near a store that had wedding dresses and wedding cakes in the window display. I thought 'Oooooh I wanna go in and look around.' I landed and looked in the window. I could see a case full of little individual confections of all shapes and sizes and colors. And two Asian ladies were working on a wedding cake on a little island counter. Just a really pretty store.

I decided to try something I had never tried before, and phase through the glass window while keeping my eyes open, and see if I could keep my vision the whole time with nothing changing. It totally worked haha, beginners luck? Anyway the Asian ladies looked at me and smiled, looking a little confused. I just said "hey don't worry it's just me," and I pinched off a piece of the cake they were working on. The outside was white fondant, but it was impossibly light and not overly sweet. And melted in my mouth and was just delicious. Not possible really to make fondant irl. I praised the ladies for it. The. I went to the pastry case and just stuck one treat after another into my mouth. Everything was delicious. I remember something powdery and hazelnut flavored, and something else carrot cake like. Best dream food ever.

I decided to leave and on my way out I opened my wallet and it was full of twenty dollar bills. I dropped 4 of them on the floor on my way out lol. When I got outside, the sky had changed drastically! All those silver-lined puffs of clouds had turned into giant jellyfish!!! The sky was filled with them. I looked in awe and excitement and yelled "Wooooow!! Cloud jellyfish !!!!" And as soon as I said that, the sky got dark gray, there was thunder and lightening, and the jellyfish started to move toward me. And they started raining. And where ever the rain hit, here was smoke. Like some kind of acid rain. I wondered if it would be neuro toxic rain too since they were jellies.

So I admit, fully lucid, I was kinda excited and scared. Kinda like when you play tag but you're outnumbered. So I ran into some random building, just before the jellies got to me. I found some stairs that went down so I ran for it. But as I descended, the acid rain from the overhead jellies burned through the building and started raining on me! I felt it, and it burned and sizzled a bit. It did t hurt really but it did have a kind of electric feeling.

I kept finding more stairs going down, hoping that the acid rain wouldn't be able to get too me. After a couple more fails, I finally reached what appeared to be an underground garage parking for the building. I was close the the exit and could see outside. Three REALLY big jellies were hovering by the exit. I quickly bid behind a cement pillar. I admit I felt like I was grinning from ear to ear, this was fun! I peeked around the side of the pillar and saw 2 of the jellies leave. Where was the third???? I peeked around the other side, then the opposite side again, nothing. So I started for the exit and the big jelly was right there!! Fucker was hiding on the other side of the pillar!!!! I freaked out and made a gun shape with my hands and went "pew pew pew!" and it hit the floor dead. Fuck yeah.

I went back outside to have big war against the jellies but I woke up. All fun though. It's nice to take a break from totms sometimes, and just go with the flow

I slept in really late. At one point I tried to check the time on my phone, but my left eye wouldn't open, and the phone screen was senseless garble. I'm dreaming!

I get up with the surgery task on my mind since I thought about it last night. I go to the bathroom so I can see in the mirror. I brought my phone with me and the time says 6:58. then i look away and back and it said 6:49, then i looked away and back again and it said "9:69 (really)". like it truly said "really" after the time lol! anyway, The only tool I can find is a dentist pick. I lift up my shirt and start to make an incision but it hurts lol! I say out loud, "I can't do this!" But I just think fuckit, and tear a line down my abdomen, which was nothing more than a deep scratch and no blood. It hurt a bit but not like an actual incision. I set down the tool and put each hand on either side of the scratch, and pull outward. The skin splits perfectly and I'm staring at my rib cage and a bunch of organs that look like steaks! I select one that kinda looks like a stomach and remove it. It wasnt connected to anything, and no blood. I set it on the sink, and it just looks like a sirloin steak lol. Then I look at my reflection and there's a ZIPPER no lie, where the incision is. So I just zip my skin up and I'm fine.

Sometimes I think my subC is too cartoony and keystone cop for these gory tasks :p

Early this morning, I woke up at 5:30am, then again at some point and started getting some vibrations. They were being really really pokey about kicking over into a LD. Finally I got there, and I opened my dream eyes and found myself in my bed as usual. But when I tried to get up I woke up for real. Ok. So I repeated the process and same thing. I think I did it maybe one more time with no success. Not good hehe.

Then my alarm went off at 6:50 to make sure Chris was on his way to school. Then I went back to bed and got the vibrations again, nice and strong. As I was waiting in those couple moments for the dream to start, I quickly thought up a Plan B because I didn't want to risk waking up again and losing all my chances for a lucid. I thought, well, I'll just start the dream IN the bed, and maybe even go for a task while staying in bed. I opened my dream eyes, and was in bed again, and it was pretty dark. I thought about the basic I task all I needed to do was eat a piece of Halloween candy. I can do that right here in bed haha. So I slowly reached over and imagined a piece of candy would be right there on my nightstand. Of course as I'm reaching over, that old childhood fear of something under my bed grabbing me popped in my head. Sure enough, some small animal or creature jumped up and locked its jaws on the side of my hand. It kinda hurt, but not enough to stop me. I continued to reach for the table, with this thing dangling off my hand. I felt on the table and there was a little piece of candy wrapped in cellophane. Yay! I brought both the candy and the creature into bed with me, and just shook the creature off my hand and it vanished. It was a bit lighter now, and before the creature vanished, I could see that it looked a little like a deranged prairie dog lol. Anyway, I opened the candy and it was a tiny square of blue gum. I popped it in my mouth and chewed, and it tasted like blueberry!

I decided maybe now the dream was stable enough that I could get out of bed, and I did easily. I managed to go out of the room and down the hall a bit. At some point I woke up, can't recall exactly. Fortunately, I DEILDed right back into the dream, back in my bed. So I decided to do the same thing (because if I could convince my subC that the candy was poisoned, I'd get advanced wings too!). I reached over, got the same little attacker, and shook it away again. This time the candy was a little red square of gum and tasted like cherries. I got up, went down the hall and into the bathroom. I wanted to see in the mirror if the gum was poisoned and what it would do to me. I'm telling you, I willed the SHIT out of that gum to be poisoned, but nothing happened. I stuck my tongue out and the gum had stained it green. I thought to myself "I guess in dream land, blue and red candy makes green!" Then I woke up.

A silly little basic task, but I'm mostly proud of the way I handled the issue of accidentally waking up. I'm seriously patting myself on the back for not only thinking up the solution, but thinking it up quick! It was mostly out of desperation for fear of losing lucid opportunity, but I'm telling you: once you're in the mind set to solve problems in a lucid, or just before the lucid, or while transitioning, you only need a few seconds of really rational thought. Then things will fall into place. Then you'll feel like a million bucks and a super lucid genius for the day!

I got super lucky on this one. It was a very long lucid. I went to bed late on the couch, then woke up, went back to sleep. Did that maybe every 2 hours until 10am when I could finally sleep undisturbed for a couple hours.

I drifted off to sleep, and immediately had a dreamlet of me reaching over and checking my phone. I knew I was dreaming because I had just go e to sleep and I did t need to check my phone for anything. I immediately left the bedroom and was greeted by my dog, Daisy. She was super hyper and jumping all over me, and then a second Daisy appeared! They were all over me and I felt I may wake up. So I just relaxed, pet the 2 Daisys, and felt the dream get more stable as I recalled the advanced task. Perfect, I'll just walk up the diningroom wall. I also remembered the ABCs task, so I thought I would just sing it while trying the advanced. I put one foot on the wall, then as I tried to put my other foot on the wall, I fell on my back lol. Like in real life, but I had a tiny moment of hover. I tried this maybe two more times and fell. I did reach the end of the ABC song at least! So anyway, I tried a spot of wall next to an open door, and I used the handle to help me once both feet were on the wall. Then I walked right up, no problem. I got to the ceiling, put one foot on the ceiling, and immediately felt my work flip 90 degrees. I got both feet on the ceiling, and it felt like strong magnets were holding my shoes in place, yet I could take steps with little effort. It was amazing, I felt the blood rush to my head, and my hair was hanging down. I really felt upside down, really cool.

I don't remember how I got down, but I wanted to try walking up the wall again without the doorknob. I thought maybe a run and jump would work, and it did! My feet stuck right on the wall, and I was able to repeat the process, this time in front of the diningroom mirror. I cod see my hair hanging in my face.

Again I don't remember how I got down, but I wanted to try again, this time just walking straight to the wall like it didn't matter. When I did, I fell again. Oh well, run and jump worked at least haha.

Still lucid, I recalled the call a dc task. Should be no problem, since I've done it before in lucids. But never with a cell phone, and that's all I had at the moment. I don't know about y'all, but trying to find contacts on my iphone is hard enough irl, much less dreams, lucid or otherwise. I would find a contact, then the screen would scroll away from it when I tried to click it. After alot of trying and failing, I finally came across "Kevin M." from college. Haven't talked to that boy since like 1994. But I called him and he answered, but he sounded like a drunk Texan, instead of the straight edge Norwegian I remember from college. I asked if this was the same Kevin M that met me in a H4H build in 1994, and he said it was him. I asked why it didn't sound like him anymore, and he said in a thick drawl "Because I turned into a drunk Texan, I hope you don't judge." I said it's all good, I got enough for the task anyway.

The dream was STILL going, but I couldn't for the life of me recall the 4th task. In this moment as I'm typing, I still don't remember it, so no chance. I started probably losing lucidity a bit at this point, but I remember I went to the bedroom and say DC Danny. We didn't speak much, but I was messing with some stuff in a drawer. My finger got stuck on something sharp, and I was like "wtf is this?" And Danny said "it's a fishing lure." So it was. I took the little hook out of my finger, and was admiring the pretty red feather lure attached to it, when I noticed that in the same basket in that drawer, was a couple individually wrapped condoms. I said "I don't think you should keep fishing lures with the condoms baby, seems like a bad idea." I was already kneeling on the floor because this was the bottom drawer, so then I just kinda lay down on my side on the carpet. I could feel that I was about to wake up, and I thought to myself, "Yeah, that's enough for this dream." And I woke up on my side, in the exact same position, in my bed.

This was yesterday morning. On my phone so I'll be brief. I WILDed early, around 7am I think. After the vibrations, I knew I was dreaming, but I couldn't move my dream body, and I couldn't see. But I was able to imagine that I was gently rolling off the bed, and I landed on my feet on the bedroom floor and I could see. I went straight to the floor and pushed my face through. A tunnel to hell formed, but it was quiet, dark, and not much fire. Which actually seemed more creepy. I called down "I'm coming down!!" and I saw the devil poke his head into the tunnel and turn to look up at me. His eyes reflected light, and I was scared for a moment. My fear caused the devil to change into a more docile form (CL if you're reading this, we need to talk about how emotions really drive the dream setting and characters). Anyway, the devil turned into a chubby old black lady, still with the eyes though. I yelled for a rope to appear, and started down, but I woke up. I deilded and did the exact same thing, only I tried to summon beers on the way down, woke up again. Deilded again, this time skipped hell and went into the kitchen. I went blind on the way, but I could still feel so I kept walking and made it to the kitchen and got my sight back. I saw an old woman looking in my fridge, and I recalled the basic task! I asked her the meaning of life and she said "I am a good ___ and a good leader." I didn't hear the first work so I asked her to repeat. She said "I am a good dad, and a good leader." Lol ok. I woke up.

I was naughty and didn't record some WILDs from last week. On my phone so just brief points:

The one where I tried he'll one last time. The devil was small and at the bottom of the tunnel. I grabbed at him but he was like air. He slipped away through a hole in the rocks, and I stuck my hand I. The he to get him. Something happened causing great pain in my hand, like electrocution, then I woke up.

Then the one where I figured out how to summon DCs! I just ti d a tall building which are usually around, then fly to a top floor window, and they're right there behind the window! I have to flap hard with my arms though because I apparently fly heavy. Anyways, I succeeded I getting with a cute blonde chic this way, but I woke up before sex. I DEILDed I to the same dream, found her again, woke up too soon again.

The one where I found a pretty brunette this time, using the fly to the window method. This time I succeeded in getting with her. I decided to watch the details this time. Won't go too specific. Anyway it was such a turn on that I woke up!

Quick entry from the phone:

My first LD at the new house yaaaaaay! Been sick with a little cold so I was tossing and turning a lot. Usually causes me to wild early, like 7am. It was a struggle initially I'll explainers later. I got there finally and went to the floor to phase through to hell but my face smashed on the carpet. Tried again and got through. I yelled down the tunnel I'M COMMING! I saw the devils head for a sec, and some other beings walking around at the bottom. I summoned a rope and spelunkered(?) to the bottom. By the time I got there, everyone was gone. I walked around some dark, dank caves, nothing. I even found a cave with some really creepy dark silvery wavy water. I yelled names like Hades!!? Mephistopheles!!? Nothing. Woke up before I could think to try the turn around summon trick.

DEILDed back in my room, went outside, saw some little kids, remembered to ask one what the meaning of life is, canNOT remember the answer!!! Took them flying though. Serves me right for being so desperate for the totm that I ask a two year old.

I admit I didn't properly complete these 2 tasks, but it was still an interesting adventure. Well, isn't every dream?

Anyway, I inadvertently woke up and fell back to sleep maybe 5 times between midnight and 5am, which I think helped set me up really well for WILD. Then I either woke up or FAed (I'm beginning to think there's a possibility that I don't really know the difference right before I WILD), and I turned slightly and felt vibrations. I remember thinking at that moment how strange it was that I was getting there this early.. normally they don't hit until well after 7am (with rare exception). So I went with it, and a few cycles passed and I "woke" into a dream. In my bed as usual, checking to make sure I was dreaming, I saw Danny sit up slightly. He asked me a question that was complete gibberish, and that confirmed the dream.

I got up and left the room. When I went down the hall and into the livingroom, it looked completely different, like that of a small apartment. There were a bunch of scattered papers on the kitchen counter, and I remember thinking at that moment "I know I wrote down the tasks of the month on one of these pieces of paper...." So I began rummaging through them. I couldn't find what I wanted, and I kinda got clear there for a second, questioning the validity of these papers. Then the Hell TOTM struck my brain, and I immediately got down on all fours. I pressed my face through the floor, and that obedient tunnel to hell appeared instantly. A moment of fear swept through me (if you haven't read any of my tunnel to hell dreams before, this is #4.. and if you can imagine for real, a dark, creepy tunnel that goes way down deep, with some fiery orange glow, and sounds from the deep not unlike the Balrog of Moria, then you'll know why I chickened out the first two times and didn't go in). The moment passed quickly, because I've been psyching myself for it in waking life. Alot. No fear, it's a dream, MY dream...

The past few days, since my last attempt at this task, I decided that I would manifest a rope to get down, because flying/hovering/climbing are not at the top of my lucid skills. Obediently, a sturdy rope appeared in front of me, perfectly in the center of the tunnel. I grabbed it and tugged, it seemed to be fastened at the top somehow, but I didn't look up. My focus was down down down. I grabbed the rope with my arms AND legs like a spider, and began to slide down. I felt a little like I was going down a really creepy well. "The Well from Hell" haha, sounds like a scary B movie. Or a documentary: "Hell's Wells, Have They Dried Up? Story at 11." Ok I'm done

Anyway, I started sliding down the rope, which should have burned my hands, so I'm glad I didn't have that as a distraction in this dream. I focused hard to see a bottom to the tunnel, because that's where I failed last time (it ended up being an endless tunnel and I woke up before finding the bottom). Two times I had to focus and say, "I'm approaching the bottom, I'm approaching the bottom," and my feet finally found the ground. In retrospect, I don't remember any heat at all. I had a lucky, pain free trip to Hell. Almost immediately, a figure approached me. (My memory is a little foggy from this point on, so I'll do my best. I think my memory tends to be a bit better when I'm super focused, like descending the tunnel, since I was so set on tackling that. So when I got to a point I hadn't got to before, I stopped trying to control everything, and just let the story take over. But as a reflex, I may be dropping too much focus as well, and forgetting stuff. Gotta work on that in the future.)

Alright, so a figure approached me, and he seemed to be made up of half smoke, and half something corporeal. But he seemed to phase in and out of it. I think I asked if he was the devil, but I don't remember an answer. I remember him getting super close to me though. He was handsome, when he wasn't a billowy cloud of smoke. And I remembered Dianeva's idea to ask him the meaning of life! (Sadly, the beer never popped into my head, aside from which, even if I had succeeded in this basic task, that's a pretty long as fucking way of getting to it, to then fail at the advanced!) So I asked him "What is the meaning of life, oh Dark Lord?" (kidding, I didn't say the dark lord part ) I know he had an answer, I just KNOW it, but I don't remember. All I remember is he swooped me up in wings of smoke, and the next thing I remember, I was standing on earth.

Oreo face? I think so!!

Apparently I'm not even good enough for hell, and the devil himself kicked me right out. Wow. So the last thing I remember is seeing 2 DCs that I have a hunch that i recognized. I'm pretty much nonlucid at this point I think. I hug them both tightly, then wake up.

Alright Devil, you wanna play like that? Maybe next time I conjure some magic Devil snare and tie your ass up. I'll pour beer down your gullet if I have to for these wings!
