    2. I made it lucid again finally!!!

      by , 02-26-2011 at 01:48 PM (Ranbow Island - Otis's Dream Journal)
      Ok so I've been busy and haven't recorded a lot of my dreams but they weren't that important. i have a few wedding dreams but that's it until last night!

      I was on a football team, and we were winning a big title "The Cup" I think it may have been a high school team, but i was pretending to be a dude.No one knew i was a girl till after I won "the cup" I went home i was at my parents house. i walked into my bed room, but it wasn't the same. "I'm dreaming i thought" but everything got super fuzzy, i was about to bring myself into focus when my DC dad walked in and said "Go back to bed." I lost full lucidity, but hey i was glad to at least be semi lucid. I couldn't control movements but i could speak. My body began to rummage for something. It was something i HAD to find. then i found part of i : 5 cards from what i knew to be a huge deck of about 60 or so.

      the cards were decorated in an old style texture, much like a stone-brick wall. like a labyrinth wall. My first thought went to 2 things. The first instant lucid i ever had (link: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/otis...ue-lucid-7520/ ) and my favorite book/movie combo The Labyrinth. The card was kind of like a Japanese card game style. There was a picture with a gold borer around it beneath the picture was a small bullet set telling you about who or what was in the picture with it's name at the top. I only remember 1 of the first cards, it was an orange shaggy haired goblin with horns (the hair was much like the style of Ludo from the movie but like bright orange like a chestnut horse).

      I had to find these. I HAD TO FIND THE REST! I took hold of my baby, and went to the dresser next to the one I was looking in. I found a few figurines one of them i remember was blue-ish, an orange one that matched the card I found. I smiled. (i felt the corners of my mouth gather so it must have been a very big grin) I opened another drawer, and the only think there was a blond figuring dressed in a black cloak. I was so ecstatic i almost lost the dream. I found the goblin king!, but the figurines are useless without the cards. You have to have both for them to work. I put them with the cards, and i heard a clatter in the kitchen. So knowing the layout of my house i left my brothers room, walked down the hall, through the family room, into the dining room, and through to the kitchen. There in the sink were the orange, shaggy-haired goblins, with horns. (you need both the card and the figurine for it to work) I watched them for a minute not sure if they were cleaning or breaking things... i still don't know what they were doing. I left out the door to the garage thinking "I need to find these cards!" FUCK YOU SUBCONSCIOUS! i ended up in a greeting card store. ARG!!! i looked around for a while, and then realized it must be past my alarm, and woke myself up. (ohh yeah i missed my alarm by 1hr 15min oops)



      OMG I'm soooo happy!! but i still feel like i have to find the cards. So i'll make myself a list of what I do and do not have that way i can look again when i get lucid again.

      So since I've come back from my vacation everything has been a disaster. After we got the pony taken care of I started getting harassed by some ass. @.@ I got the police involved the other day and so far everything has stopped, but all this crazy has ruined all my dream progress. I will need to start all over again as now i'm only remembering one dream a night. If that. ;-; ARG!!!!!! I really do hope the ass call my phone again, let me tell you what! I'll show him for killing my dreams...

    5. Just some Side notes

      by , 10-07-2010 at 12:43 PM (Ranbow Island - Otis's Dream Journal)
      over the course of my mini vacation i had several very long, very vivid dreams. They were all along the same plot line too. Post-apocalyptic military, eternal winter, and dreaming within a dream. they were all very strange.

      To be honest i didn't want to wake up this morning knowing i was back "home" The dream i had was boring in comparison to those i had while above the Mason Dixen.....My Yankee blood is calling me back to the union! D: lol

      noticing a few new dream signs: Snow, Decrepit buildings, Soldiers/Military.

    6. Too Stressed/Fever Dreams

      by , 09-26-2010 at 08:42 PM (Ranbow Island - Otis's Dream Journal)
      Last night was horrid. Next weekend I will be going on vacation, and there is still a ton to be done before I leave town for Five days, and so I was stressed before going to bed.

      Over the course of the night I remember 3 dreams, but they don't string together, and they were all followed by my waking up in a sweaty mess. Everyone at work is getting sick again, and I was feeling horridly ill by bed time. I'm guessing I was running a temp last night trying to combat the virus, and it cause the blotchy dreams.

      Fingers crossed all will work out this week.

    8. OMG I did it!!! I got a True lucid!

      by , 09-22-2010 at 12:59 PM (Ranbow Island - Otis's Dream Journal)
      I had 4 dreams last night, but only one of them really matters! My first dream of the night, and my first true lucid! I believe it was a WILD as i was trying something i read on the forums a couple days ago. The thread suggested to speak lyrics in your head to keep your mind awake and focused. I wasn't exactly using lyrics, I was more or less reciting a book i read lately but it worked all the same.

      Everything was black at first, and i was still speaking in my head the lines from the book. I then looked around, and there was flooring, tile floors. I stopped reciting, I knew I was dreaming because when I started reciting I was face down in my pillows. I looked around, and The there were walls. I smiled, and the dream began to destabilize. I didn't have time to do anything before i was jerked from my body. I was pulled upward. I saw everything from above. My dream was a maze. I managed to make it back to my dream body, and with some effort i began to walk. I wanted to try something. I put my hands up, parallel to the ground, and held my palm flat up towards the wall. I wanted it to move, and it took a shit ton of effort at first but the wall pushed open like a door, and locked back into place against the wall behind it. I remember doing this until i got bored. I rememper trying to do other thigns but everything else failed, so i relaxed.

      I let myself slip in to 3 other dreams. I became lucid again in the 4th dream, but i wasn't doing much. Only walking around and looking at what my mind had created, and chasing some foxy ladies. D: even my dream girl know that my wife would kick some ass if I even tired to flirt. NOT FAIR! lol
    9. DILD Class 1 & Fragments

      by , 09-19-2010 at 06:44 PM (Ranbow Island - Otis's Dream Journal)
      Not a lot to report as far as dreams last night. mostly just some fragments. One i can remember very clearly though and it was a FA:

      I woke up and sat up in bed. i noticed the candle on the table was still lit, and walked over to blow it out. but the lid on the jar was sealed. i turned around to tell my wife, when i realized that a candle can't stay lit in a jar with the lid on.

      I don't remember anything after that.


      DILD Class HW:

      <@puffin> 1) pick three of the above reality checks and explain the pros and cons of each.

      Nose Plug: While very simple, and easy to remember sometimes it dose not work. Several people have stating passing a nose plug RC in a dream.

      Location RC: This could work splendidly if you dream about the location you visit on a daily basis, but this would not work for me. My dreams take place in places resembling those from my past like my parents house, or my home town. I have not seen either in about 2 years so remembering to RC when seeing them would be nearly impossible since i never see them...

      Reading RD: I'm sure trying to read a webdings book would be key number 1 that you were dreaming, however if you are so into your dream that you can understand the gibberish this RC would pass. This would also fail to work if there was nothing to read at your current location.


      <@puffin> 2) why is it better to question reality everywhere, and not just when something specific happens?

      Because you could be dreaming about something from real life, or having a FA. I once had a dream i was out shopping in my home town. I didn't even think to question reality because it was something I was used to. In order to really become aware you're dreaming you need to question everything even if the same thing happens at the same time every day like the mail man delivering mail..

      The one dream i remember from last night definitely was weird...

      I was in my mother-in-laws back yard. I looked around, and noticed i had a fork in my hand so i started to pull her ChainLink fence apart like spaghetti. I got one section of the fence down before i looked up and saw me standing in front of me. I was then looking down at me with the fork, and the spaghetti fence. I got panicked, and jumped over the fence running into the house next door. I was screaming "Don't touch her or i'll kill you." I busted into one room, and there was a man reading a new paper, then another Me busted into the room next door, and came running out with a ton of hat boxes. The other me said something i don't understand, and then tossed a bouncy ball (like the 25 cent ones you get at the stores) into the room like a grenade. The lady who had been in the room folding cloths looked up, and made this horrified face as the ball started to break all the vases in the room. (there were a lot of vases by the way.) The other me started to apologize, and then the man came in and said the punishment was rape. I grabbed him, and pushed him over before running past him, and grabbing the other me. We jumped out the window into a more populated area, and preceded to pimp it up by collecting ladies we planned to have an orgy with.

      I then woke up...That was indeed a weird dream...

    11. JILD Day 3 - FA Fail

      I know I had 3 dreams last night. I can't remember them now though. I know Two were about my place of work. the first I can't recall but I remember having a dream before my first work related dream. Anyway a summary of the night and my FA Fail.

      Had Dream 1 and woke to go to the bathroom. Didn't log it, and went back to bed. Had Work Dream 1, and had a FA. I sat up in bed and grabbed my DJ thinking that i should write down my first two dreams so i wouldn't forget. I wrote down the basics, setting, people, time, and anything else i remember. I closed my journal tossed it back to the desk, and went back to bed. I had Work Dream #2, and then my alarm went off. I sat up, and did my morning routine before grabbing my DJ to look over my first two dreams. There was nothing on the page! My DJ was Empty from the last entry. I then remember when i woke up i forgot to RC, and I head-desked a few times. That is the most frustrating thing to happen so far. Now i have a goal to add to my LD Task list. Created my Subconscious as a DC and beat the crap out of it.. -.-

      I remember nothing. Once again I feel like I've been hit by a train, everything aches, and I feel like I've been awake all night.

Some gun, and cake eating ensued, but then it was down to business. Turns out my mother board/processor are fried. FML I don't have this kind of money On the way home Daniel called, Her grandpap is in the hospital again. She wanted to know if i could work on my weekend off so that she could finish moving her stuff and visit him. I caved in. I don't want to go to work. the only reason i agreed is because i have no money and absolutely have to have this computer back or i won't be able to make more. Fuck having a home business. It's to hard. I hate my full-time job. At least i got cake.
      Had 3 very vivid dreams. I remember waking up and going. "Woah for real?" I fail to remember the first two now though. When i woke in the middle of the night i should have at least jotted their subjects down. but no i just rolled over and said "bah I'll remember it." the third dream was strange.

      I was standing in an isle way of a grocery store with a cart full of food, and my cousins husband, Markus. Markus has the baby-mans, Dylan, with him, but Dylan had black hair, and the weirdest beard. I remember at one point going "Baby's don't have beards, but my subconscious have me a vary detailed reason as to why he had it, and that it would go away. I accepted this, and the dream carried on. We finally got to the check out, and i gave Dylan the ice cream he wanted "Doodz" we're brand of Ice cream i thought but i ignored it. Then every time he ate i got money. Another cousin showed up and tried to take Dylan but i wouldn't let her, and then some crazy man with claw marks shaved into his head and just plowed right through us at the check-out lane.


      Alarm clock went off. Sometimes i like my dreams better than waking up. I wish things would start looking upwards for me.
