Adventures of a 21st Century Dreamer

Where's your head at?- (youtube.com/watch?v=8md51JnCNFQ)

Had a wbtb this morning, which felt different from the others. Sleep paralysis came and went, but the hallucinations were odd. It was like my body was a puppet, being moved around by an amateur puppeteer. This messed with my transition routine, because it led to me opening my eyes prematurely and seeing my body lying there motionless.

I tried again, this time I was a little bit more patient. when the puppeteer moved my body and raised my right hand( like I was in class or something), I focussed. I imagined walking from one end of my room to the other, paying attention to tactile sensations in particular. I felt my couch, or imagined what that felt like. Then I was on my bed again, I knew this was a false awakening. I reality checked, using the nose pinch and it worked. I was now lucid. I remembered my current goal, to ask my subconscious something and get a verbal response. I rubbed my hands and calmed down, being aware of everything but not focussing on one thing. this works best for me, suddenly things were vivid.

I did a little dance/jumped around. I looked to my right and my laptop was mounted to the wall, no keyboard just the screen. There was a desk, with an old desk-top computer and my phone on it (there's no desk or desk-top in my room). I didn't know what to ask, so I asked my subconscious to play a song. The screen on the desk-top switched to you-tube, there was only one song on the list "The instrumental, by Lupe fiasco". I didn't click on it, I wanted to see if it would play by itself. Suddenly my laptop shows a video of the guy from scrubs, playing with a guitar. I turn back to the desk-top and try to type in something into the search box, but the keys turn into a calender with pictures. I give up, and turn away from the desk-top...then out of nowhere through unseen speakers....

WHERE'S YOUR HEAD AT?,
AT,WHERE'S YOUR HEAD AT?.......starts playing. I drop to the floor with uncontrolled laughter while singing along. someone turns the volume down, and a video starts playing on the laptop. Its of two guys on motorcycles somewhere, but they seem to be looking at me. I look out my window, its a sunny day and I feel like driving. (yes plane-airman..wanted to drive instead of fly)

I look back at the laptop "can you give me a Bugatti Veyron?" I ask. One of the guys in the video answers " yes, I can.......but not right now". I start laughing again, that's cool. Something tells me the dream is about to end, as if on cue my dad and sister burst into my room making a lot of noise. I'm smiling "welcome to my dream", I say as the dream fades and I wake up.



Summary:

well, I guess the subconscious can talk to you. On to the next goal, to ask for him/it? to tell me each time I'm dreaming..'(hopefully he wont refuse)

Wbtb seems to be working for me every-time I set a genuine intention to try it, I have had 15 lucids and so far its : Dilds-4, Wbtb-11...once I increase my awareness hopefully I can become lucid almost each night not just each morning...like some people on here.

Fourth lucid: date- unknown, Clarity-Super detail, Awareness- 7/10

I'm being chased by someone. I don't know who, but I have something they want. I sense evil. The building I'm in is dimly lit. I start to question why I'm running. The shadows close in on me. To my left a flight of stairs beckons. Time skips. I'm on the roof-top, there's a wall with a giant hole in the middle. Through it you can see the expanse of the city beyond the horizon. I look down and feel peace,serenity and freedom. I want to fly. I'm lucid now, like an eagle I leap through the hole and head for the murky depths below.

In flight I have complete control. I'm hurtling towards the ground at jaw breaking speed. I pull up and hang in the air. A breeze floats past me. Something tells me if I want sex, I should follow it. But I don't want sex, not today. I'm looking for someone. The city is completely silent, I can hear my heart-beat. I look below me, the city seems deserted now. Then I see someone walking on the street. I land behind him, and tap him on the shoulder. He looks me up and down, I do the same.

He's wearing a blue shirt. " do you know where....my subconscious is?". I ask. there's a pause. "in there", he replies. I look to where he's pointing. Its a barber shop, with a window front. You can see into the whole shop from outside. There's 1- a Mexican/ Arabic looking guy sitting on a chair or throne, he looks 50-70 ish. 2- his wife sitting beside him, she's wearing a purple gown with flowery patterns, she too is 50-70 ish. 3- an extremely beautiful girl. If I were to guess I would say she was 18-22, she looks Latin, long dark hair, normal pink blouse and blue jeans. 4- A black guy, dressed in all black, he seems to be hovering. Don't recall he's features. 5- a boy of about 8, he's wearing a greenish blue jumper. I turn back to the guy on the street. " which one is my subconscious?". He stares at me blankly, " in there" he points again. I lose patience, I want to throw him across the city. But I relax, he could have said nothing. I walk towards the shop. Everything on the street disappears. All that's left is the barber shop. I open the door.....


The parents are smiling,but not at me though. They don't seem to have recognized my presence. I look to where their heads are turned. The 8 year old boy is crying. Why?. The girl is he's sister, she's been told to wash the dishes at the sink. but he wont let her. He says he loves her, and he's willing do anything for her. Everyone is smiling at his innocence. Except me. I'm having a flashback, Me and the girl: kissing,driving a car, touring the city?. The guy in black hovers to my right ear, "your after the girl, aren't you?". "Yes" I reply. The dad notices me, I feel guilty. She has to leave with me....I lose lucidity but the dream continues. this is all I remember though.

Summary: I don't know if its futile trying to talk to my subconscious, because how can I be concious of something that's below conciousness?.

That being said however I think everything was symbolic and I have a faint idea what it means but.. I haven't got round to breaking it down.

Tying Shoe Laces:

22nd june 2010: just had a lucid dream for the first time basically i woke up did two reality tests, first i checked to see if i could breathe with my nose shut which i could, but i almost ignored it so i counted my fingers just to be safe, and i had five fingers each, but two thumbs on one hand!, and i knew i was dreaming then just to further confirm, i jumped up and started flaoting back down, i then stepped outside because i wanted to go to uni, however when i opened the front door even though i was in my uni room, i heard my mom and sister upstairs talking, so i opened the front door and it was cold, then i tried summoning some gloves but it didnt work, then i span round for a bit and when i stopped i had three gloves one each for my three hands!, i then rushed back inside to get a jacket.

but I also tried the flaoting thing again but i jumped too high, and when i flaoted back down i miss timed the landing and hurt my back i started laughing, then i picked up a jacket (which I dont own) and went back outside my plan was to teleport to uni after tying my shoe laces( lol) while i was doing that i saw a menacing guy with a wrench and i just assumed he was my next door neighbour (coz he went into the house next to mine) thats when i woke up.

29th DEC 2010:

I was in some giant house or mansion by myself and everything was dark and I felt extremely lonely, so I brought down a chair and slept at the entrance of my mansion for what seemed like hours.........!, just dosing in my chair, then my dad came over and asked why I was sleeping in the entrance. I replied that "I dont know" so he told me to go to bed, I got upstairs and I was in my waking life room and knew I was dreaming

but the quality was extremely bad, it was like I was drunk (even though I dont drink) so I rubbed my hands and tried to stabilise but I woke up into a false awakening which seemed so real!, in fact the only reason I nose pinched was for the sake of it( what no way, this cant be a dream!) so I jumped out of bed and my room was now on-top of some giant sky scrapper, I could hear my dad coming up the stairs to check up on me, I thought it would be rude if he came to my mansion to keep me company and then I left, but my attention was drawn to this huge window that had a wire fencing on the outside, instantly the weather turned snowy, I looked down and saw two horses below galloping super fast around the estate, before I went off to explore I wanted to try out some things, but my mind went blank I was like..... telekinesis...uh pyro-kinesis...what else?, then I noticed a giant fanta bottle so I started moving it with my mind, I imagined that my arm was magnetic and drew the bottle towards me, then I flicked my wrist and a man sized hole cut itself in the window,and the fence, I dived through and flew around for a bit but after a while I remembered my goals, (shit,... summon something!) but as I landed there was galloping behind me...I lost lucidity and started running because I thought the horses were evil...but regained awareness( wait im lucid..I can fly) so I got out of their way and hovered above the ground and looked behind me....."wtf", are.....they?......are....they flying?"(there goes my awareness again!).

so I flew super-fast but they kept up with me, I dodged and weaved but those damn horses they uh...flew like the wind, then I regained full lucidity and started remembering my goals but it was too late and I woke up.

I recall very little but I learned how to tele-port using the spin technique, at some point I was walking around admiring the vividness of the environment when I decided to fly using the Neo technique( you know crouch then jump!) but I didn't want my subconscious to know that I knew I was dreaming lol ( sometimes my brain takes it upon itself to remove my lucidity,as in it comes up with a plot that always ends in me losing lucidity!) so I pretended not to be lucid by doing random things but after a while I was like f this so I tele-ported to a random elevator that I had seen in a video, as soon as I arrived the door pinged and some assassin looking guy in all black-leather walks into the elevator (im thinking shit im not in a mood for a fight) "hi" he says, uh hi I reply, the door opens again and he walks out, I then screamed out for an increase in clarity coz it was starting to get fuzzy but the exact opposite happened (thanks brain!) I even asked nicely and nothing, eventually it became super clear by itself to the point that all I could do was stare in amazement(going...omg omg omg!)

Then I had a false awakening but I was ready for it, but I believed I was awake, anyway in the Fa I told my friend all about my lucid, then we went to this indoor petrol station to refill two small water bottles...wtf.. there was a woman there to help us, then we went outside and it was raining so I said (words of wisdom coming up.......) "dont worry even though its raining its still hot because the sun is shining".....

Giant Stuffed Cat and dog- 13th/12/2010:

I had a brief WBTB which failed because I was ill, in it I realised I was dreaming but the quality was sooo poor; it involved me getting out of bed trying to stabilise, but I had a pounding headache so that flopped then I sat down beside my bed and decided to teleport while saying out loud "when I stop spinning, my dream guide will be here!" so I stopped spinning and...........I was a tiny version of myself surrounded by a giant stuffed cat and dog.....okay then



Update:

The more I think about this lucid the more im convinced the cat represented my feminine side and the dog my masculine but why were
they stuffed? why was I tiny?

Update 2:

I had another non lucid where I landed on some random Island that seemed to be deserted but as soon as I looked around there was a brown/gold cat and a white dog who immediately started attacking me, I picked up a log to defend my self but it grew and became too heavy so It was painfully slow swigging it about, then the cat attacked me, it seemed more aggresive than the dog....hmm
