Raspberry's Second Life

I remembered a dream this morning but now I've forgotten it! I remember being sprayed with coins (I'm reading the Mistborn trilogy, mistborn attack using coins) and something to do with piano and school. I dunno... I have the feeling it was pretty awesome.



Though y'know, they probably used coppers otherwise they'd be skint pretty damn quick if they used pound coins! *sniggers*

Awake Non-Lucid

I'm walking down a street I take on my route to school. I stroll along, lost in my thoughts. Arron comes out of nowhere and says "Hey, I'll walk with you. Give me a minute while I get something, ok?" I nod, and follow him into his house. I look around. It's open and very white. Suddenly I feel quite awkward, being alone in his house with him, since I know how flirty he can get.

I relax when someone comes in. It's a friend of Arron's although I swear I've met him before. (Never met this guy IRL, just a random DC) "I know you!" I smile. He sees me and grins.

"Yeah! We spoke at the party a few nights ago! Fancy meeting you here."

I completely forget about school, and the guys grab some food and we head to Arron's room. I lounge on a stool, and the guy introduces himself as Josh. He's rather hot, and I keep catching his eye. The door opens, and more friends of Arron's come in. I realise suddenly that I've missed three periods of school.

I find myself in my school's main corridor. It's pretty much empty of people, so I sit down. Rochelle comes in and says we're going on a P.E trip. She doesn't seem concerned that I've missed my mornings lessons. We walk into the PE changing rooms. Everyone has giant suitcases full of clothes, and the room slopes downwards.

I realise I have nothing to wear, and my moany teacher is shouting at me to hurry up. Mumbling under my breath, I ask someone if I can borrow some jogging bottoms and a t-shirt. I rummage through their suitcase and pull on clothes that are far too big.

The room slopes again sharply and I find myself rolling downwards and hitting the wall. My teacher shouts at me to get a move on but I can't make it up the slope, the flooring has become smooth which makes it difficult to get a grip.

Eventually I make it up and hurry along with the rest of the girls. My dad turns up, and we watch a very scary rollercoaster pass just above our heads. There's a t.v under it, which we stop to watch. Apparently some people are giving their views on the rollercoaster. I notice one of the girls is Emma Watson. She has very blonde, volumous hair and far too much make-up on.

The beginning was the best bit, although it was a very mundane dream which pretty much sucked

Ok, so last night was the best dream I've had for a wee while because my recall is so shitty lately. GAH!

Awake Non-lucid

I'm outside my school, although it's not really my school anymore. It's nightime, and the whole outiside has been rebuilt. The walls aren't their usual dull brown, but white and glowing rays of light. It also has white blocks leading out of it.

I float a little and sit on a block. My brother flies down and asks what's going on. "They've rebuilt the school" I reply, quite excited "but the inside's still as shitty as ever."

He says nothing else, and instead takes a look around. When he comes back, he's morphed into Asher. I find that I'm suddenly lying down in nothing but a towel. He tells me to check my phone, so I do. I have a text from Katie about a drug called Elarial. It's a new thing that's came out.

The scene changes again, and I find myself under a stone walkway, with giant bells hanging from the cieling above my head. Both sides show sunny, green grass with people have fun times. It's a univercity. I see another message, Katie is telling me to try and find some. The sky turns grey as I run up a stone stairway, knowing there's some Elarial around here somewhere.

Asher finds and corners me, telling me to snap out of my trance. "This drug isn't like other drugs," he growls angrily "It could only take one shot to get you hooked for life. It ruins you Kor, you spend so much on it that your life is gone. Don't listen to Katie, she's not herself. She's gone."

His sister is gone. I frown sadly, and get another message. "Just once." it says. "Just try it once." I think at this point Asher sees how confused and very un-lucid I am and pulls me away into a room. Skylar is in there. They both talk to eachother quietly about how to protect the drug and keep me away from it.

It's like I'm drunk. I giggle stupidly, grinning at Asher and running my hands through his black hair, pushing it back. He grabs me to keep me still while he discusses a plan of action with Skylar. I feel neglected, and sit down. Skylar eyes Asher, and I think they know I feel confused and ignored. Asher pulls me into a hug and says everything will fix itself soon.

Didn't know what to think of that, but it's very odd that I had Asher, Skylar and Katie all in the one dream. Makes me wonder if my subconscious is simply wishing for it... I dunno.

I've been trying to WILD but unfortunatly it isn't going too well.. But hey-ho! Gotta be patient right This is from after my WILD attempt, which I passed out in.

Awake Non-Lucid Semi-Lucid Lucid

I'm in my room, randomly. I've started to recognise this now. I'm in a dream. I RC to make sure.

Yup, definetly dreaming. I feel oddly hyper, and start to run out of my bedroom door. I catch myself, and remember to stabalise the dream. I quickly run my hands over my walls and take in the details, sniffing in the painty scent.

My door doesn't lead to my hall, but outside. It's sunny, and I feel as though I'm in a different, hot country. Everything is brightly coloured. I see a van, with people serving food out of it, it's very busy. Just outside of the van is a chalkboard saying "Buy your Lucid Tea now!" I smile slightly, this must be because of my WILD attempts.

I sit at a table outside of the van, my hyperness passed. I don't really feel like doing much, just sitting, soaking up the summer sun, smelling hotdogs and watching people pass buy. Maybe I should buy some "lucid tea".

Getting up, I go up to the person serving. "Can I have some tea please? Does it really work?" I ask politely. They may be DCs, but I like manners. The man glares at me.

"You better pay for it, because I have a family to feed and I can't do that when I only have £100 to get me by!" He holds out his hand, and I reach into my jeans pockets and pull out some notes. Not bothing to check them, I just hand them over. In return, he gives me a bowl of muti-coloured liquid.

A passer-by turns to me. "That stuff doesn't really work y'know. They're ripping you off."

I shrug, and take a sip. It tastes like orange and cinnimon tea. I put it down and decide to do something.

I spin, willing a random location. When I stop, I'm in a narrow mainstreet of a town centre. Again, it is sunny and very busy. I walk along. My goals! I remember them. I look towards the sky. Should I fly up and fall? I decide not to. To be honest I'm a little scared. I've flown before, but shiver at the thought of hitting the ground. Go to Lake Hylia? How would I go about that?

I pay little attention to what is around me, wrapped in my thoughts, which causes me to lose lucidity. I fly forwards over the crowds heads, and into a stone chamber. There are people sitting around a little rectangular blue pool, debating something.

Meh. Rubbish recall last night. It was a pretty fun dream too, I just can't remember most of it. I have the feeling something went on at my school, but it's just a feeling.

Awake Non-lucid

I'm in my local Poundland. Most of my friends are here. But only the guys, my girl friends aren't here. They seem to be in a line, waiting for something. The aisles are very close together.

I see my good friends Sam, Phil and Chris. I smile, and push past people to get to them. They all grin, and move around to let me in the middle of them. We all laugh as Sam sticks his foot out to trip me up, but I jump over it, landing between the boys.

The aisles seem to get even narrower, and I end up with my back against a wall, Phil pressed up against me. "Well, this isn't awkward at all." We both laugh shakely, and I shoot evils at Chris, who is winking and smirking at us.

Finally, the line moves forward, and we get some space. I ignore the guys and look at a tv on a shelf. A tv in Poundland? I only ever come to Poundland to buy chocolate and other sugary stuff. I read the cheap, bright, star shaped label that's stuck to the box. "£67" It says. What? This is frickin' Poundland! Everything's supposed to be a pound! Another label below it says "£10". I scoff and move on.

There's just something on the edge of my mind that I feel I'm about to remember but it's just not happening... Aw well, at least I recalled something.

I slept a lot again so it was jumpy. Had another FA.

Awake Non-lucid Semi-Lucid

I get up. I'm in my room. A FA? I'm not sure, usually I'm sure I'm dreaming, but my room is totally normal looking. Still, I have a feeling...

I get up, it's very dark as usual. I plug my nose. Am I breathing or not? For some reason it's hard to tell. I push my finger into my hand, but I can't see properly because it's so dark. I walk over to the light switch and push it, but nothing happens. I still feel wary, so I look down at my fingers. I have eight on my left hand. The fingers are unnaturally thin, and the nails very long. I'm dreaming.

Then I woke up, grrr....

I'm outside, again. I wonder around the small park, which is outside of my old house. It's twilight again. The suns rays are golden and warm, but there are only a few hours of daylight left. I look to the sky.

There's a giant eye in the clouds, fixed on me. I don't like it. I have the feeling that I need to do something. The eye is a force, and when there is a force, there is an opposite. (I was reading this in The Hero of Ages book last night before I went to bed. Guess it played into my dreams) What is the opposite? Well if the Eye is bad, then there must be a force out in the sky which is good.

I remain sitting, pondering. Am I all that human? No... I have something that I don't know of... It pops into my head by the other force (Preservation, the Eye is Ruin) that I have the Dragon Spirit! I see it, a ghost of a little red, green and black dragon beside me. But soon it disappears. Can I harness these powers?

[Dreamskip] I'm in my local Asda supermarket. It's very crowded. How can I find my powers here? There are stairs that lead to a second floor. There isn't usually a second floor. Curiously, I go up. The room is very small, and there's a trail of blue oil. With a lot of effort, I manage to clear up the oil using my thoughts. There's a guy there who frowns at me, but says nothing.

[Dreamskip] I can fly. But someone's grabbed me. The man from Asda! He grips me as we fall, clouds flying past. How far are we? We're falling at a terrifying speed. I manage to loosen his grip and send myself upwards. He grabs me again, too tightly, and drags me down again. Eventually we land on a ledge in an old town. Before he can pick himself up, I run.

I run out of town, into a flat kind of field. I can't see to the other side. There are several layers of what look like translucent green nets hanging down, one after the other. They're alive, sent by the Eye to capture me. But I have powers now! They are very difficult to control but I try.

The wind stirs the nets. They blow upwards, and as they do, I duck at super-human speed under one. I continue to do this until I am past them all. I think I am safe, until a net, no, tassles, slowly drift from the sky. The curl around like mist, wrapping itself around me. In fact, there is mist now. I get it off me, grabbing what I came for, which happens to be a small pile of red grapes.

[Dreamskip] I'm back in the park, with my grapes. Feeling a sense of satisfaction at my achievement, I throw grapes into the air and catch them in my mouth. I look back towards the Eye, which is still there.



I'm more curious than frightned now. I jump into a very high tree, and then into the clouds themselves. There are other people there. I now see that it is not an eye, but a face. The face smirks at me. He shows us a pool in the clouds. He says that the one who wills their dragon to push the kayak in there will win.

This will be easy. I look to the boy next to me. He is weak, scared. Ruin favored me! My dragon appears again. "Push" I think to it. Nothing happens. I think again. I try to send my thoughts to my dragon. Nothing happens. The kayak begins to move slightly. I see it is the boys dragon next to me. Aggressive now, I push all of my will to my dragon. The kayak soars forward, and the evil Man in the sky smiles eerily down at me.

Last night was a blur. Never had more than one or two false awakenings at a time, but I had three.

Awake Non-lucid Semi-Lucid Lucid

I'm sitting on my old computer. I'm on some sort of girly chat website. The screen is lit up in pink and white. Some of the girls have left mean comments.

I wake up. I keep my eyes closed, hoping for a DEILD. But what's that buzzing noise? No, it's not a buzzing noise, it's a kind of beat. That's not normal. I open my eyes. My bed is in the wrong place in my room, and my computer's on. I RC several times, now knowing i'm dreaming.

Everything's blurry. The left side of my vision is upside down. What the fuck? I can't move very much. This isn't good at all. I manage to sit up, and try to shake the heaviness off.

I wake up again. Again, I keep my eyes closed. But there it is again, that beat. I sit up, my computer's on. What? Ok, I'm confused. I RC, breathing through my pinched nose. I stick my finger through my palm, to be really sure.

I jump through my wall, and down stairs. My dad's next to the stairs, which is unusual. In my false awakenings, my dad is no where to be seen. He asks where I'm going. I ignore him and walk through the door, not bothering to open it. Once outside, the sun shining, I jump on top of my neighbors house. I run and jump to the next one. The houses are not in their usual pattern, but who cares.

I decide to see if I can summon Asher. I scream his name, looking around for him. In the field below, I see a dark clothed figure with black hair walking towards me. I grin, falling from the roof, and run up to him.

He turns. This is not Asher. He's pretty cute though. I get closer. "Kiss me?" I smile, winking.

Several moments later, my dad interrupts us. He grabs my arm, leading me away. I shout at him, but am curious to where he is taking me. I remind myself not to get too carried away by the dream, and to stay lucid.

He opens up a sportscar door. When I get it, he turns to me and says "Listen young lady, that is unacceptable, kissing random boys!"

I snigger. "This is my world, I could burn you to the ground and then go have sex with that boy if i wanted to."

I wake up. I'm paranoid about false awakenings now. Once up, I find once again that my computer is on. This time is plays music. I RC, making sure, and then leap through my window. This doesn't take me to my garden, but to a railway track in the middle of a yellow field.

I jump up, my town surrounds the field. As I fly, I make myself lighter, so it feels more floaty. Why not try something new? What about... Wings?I create wings, expanding several feet out of my back. Looking at them, I see that they're a light grey. I flap, but find it quite difficult to adjust too. Maybe I'll do this another time, and let them disappear.

I want to jump off something. Freefall. Isn't that one of my goals? Yes, it is! I look around. Nothing is high enough.

I was about to create a skyscraper, but woke up (for real this time).

Awake Non-lucid

Quite a sketchy dream, but I'll try my best to write it out

I'm outside my previous estate. There's a slight wind, and the light (as it is per usual in my dreams) is a twilight orange. I stand completely still, watching the orange brick house, watching the shadows twist and move over the surface.

A tall, burly man in a black suit comes out and stands before me. "I am your father. Come inside and settle down."

Something feels off about this man. "You are not my father." I snarl, remaining still.

He grinds his teeth and then says "Yes, I am. Come inside and get something to eat."

I give up and go inside. The house is much bigger on the inside than it looked on the outside. Inside, he shows me to my room. He appears to be very, very rich. The room is a light grey. Curtains drape down the walls, and in the centre of the room is a large bathtub.

[Dreamskip] I don't know how long I've been here. But this man who calls me daughter is evil. I run.

I stop outside of a broken down caravan. My brother sits outside. Together we go inside, where we meet an old woman. She eagerly gives us food. A mouldy piece of pizza, with coleslaw and other horrible, off foods, all piled on top of eachother.

The womans features turn ugly as i decline the plate of food. She throws the food at me and screams at me to eat.



With a start I realise she is the old hag I see often in my dreams. I run into a conservatory, the old hag after me with the food. With no where to run, she grabs me and tries to force the food down my throat. I splutter and try to throw her off me, but she pins my arms to my sides, laughing wickedly. She says that she is helping me, and that the man is evil.

I think they were working together.

Awake Semi-Lucid Lucid

Once again, I am in my dark room. I do not wake up, I don't remember a dream from before. I can feel that it's a dream, but I do a nose-pinch reality check to make sure.

I breathe slowly through my nose. I head out my door, fully familiar with this now, and head downstairs. I decide to try changing the dream scene using the door. I don't really know where I want to go, but I open the door, expecting to see something other than my street.

I walk into what looks like an underground bar. It's near empty, and dimly lit with an orange light. Leaning against the bar, is my friend Travis. I smile, and hug him. He may be a DC, but he's still a good friend. He smiles at me, but says nothing.

"I haven't seen you in a while, Travis." I say, putting my elbows onto the wooden bar. A DC stands behind it, watching us. He uses an old, ancient looking rag to clean a beer glass.

"You say my name wrong." Travis frowned. This confuses me a little and causes my lucidity to drop a little. "You pronounced it "Trah-Vis. It's pronounced "Trae-Vis." He shakes his head, as if disappointed I didn't know this before.

And then I lost my lucidity and I'm not sure what happened from then on. I'm glad I'm getting lucids on a regular basis now though! Or at least it seems...

My dreams weren't so blurry because I got less sleep, but still a decent amount. Is 7.5 hours the lucky amount?

Awake Non-lucid

I'm in a large, white room. There are maps on the walls, each country a different colour. I don't glimpse much before my dad walks in. "I'm starting a project." He says, his voice booming, the acoustics of the room amplifiying it. "I'm learning the languages of Denmark, France, and Korea."

I frown. My dad is not the language type. Neither am I, in fact. "Why?" I ask slowly, studying a map, one which my dad has unpinned from a wall and spread onto a table.

After marking Denmark, France and Korea with a pen, he turns to me. "Because they are all similar." He turns back to the map. I smuggle a laugh, I don't know much about each country, but I don't think they're similar... Still, I quite like the sound of the project to be honest, and think I'll join him with it.

[Dreamskip] I'm outside, it's very sunny and I'm looking at a green lawn. There's a blonde man there. Coming from the middle of his back is a large blue braid of hair, like a tail. It's tied around a post, keeping him still.

[Dreamskip] I'm in what seems to be a hall made of dirt. The blonde man is there, and so are other people. He says that this is our home now. I get an odd feeling about him, but I decide to trust him anyway. I think he's helping my dad with his project or something.

I look around. The mud is a brownish red. The red is strangely bright in one particulaur area. I kneel down on my heels, and draw my fingers through.

I'm horrified to find a pale, bare foot. I search more and find other bodyparts. I turn to the blonde man, who is watching me with dark eyes. "What the hell is going on?" I shout at him.

"The man we killed, there is no way of disposing a body without the police finding it. So I cut him up and brought him with us."

Man we killed? I don't remember, but I think he's telling the truth. He fiddles with his tail. "When we have to move again, what then?" I hiss.


He shrugs, glanceing away and then looking back. "We'll take the body with us. We cannot be found by the police..."

I snort. This is such a depressing situation. He totally fucked it up. If it were me I would have burned the body and gotten as far away as possible. After a bit more thinking, I start to have doubts. I don't know what they could use to trace a burned body, but they probably could.

I hear banging from somewhere outside the hall. I only need to watch the terror on the blonde man's face to know they've found us.

Awake Non-lucid

I'm on he internet. There's a picture of a girl on the screen. I'm looking at her hair colour, which is blonde, black, pink and blue. The cut is very messy, but not in a good way. It's all over the place and looks burnt. I reach into the screen and touch the hair. It's very, very soft, but again, messy. I do like the colour though... But would I bleach my hair? I've never wanted to go blonde, I usually hate bleached looking hair. Hmmmm.....

There was something about cats, but I can't remember. I was also looking at youtube about martial-arts dancers, and how they could do 360 splits on metal fences. I also starting putting eyeliner on in pink and purple (ew).

I also "woke up" in my room, knowing I'm dreaming, and once again found it very difficult to move. I'm not quite sure what happened after I managed to get up. Who knows?

As per usual, I "woke up" into a dream. It's kinda annoying how I get lucid in the same place each time. I would like to get lucid in a wierd area for once!

Anyway, I had several dreams last night but can only remember enough of two to write down.

Holiday

Awake

I'm in some sort of shopping centre. I have a dim recollection of it as I take a look around. The cieling is made of glass, and the place is extremely crowded. I'm on my own, which makes me feel intimidated since I have no idea where I am. There are several sections, pathways which lead off to different areas of the centre, organised by genre. I'm about to go down the gaming section, but my feminine side wins over, and I go to the area with a large red sign saying "Fashion" in curvy writing.

I walk in my usual fast pace, but a tall woman wearing a pale blue, halter-neck dress catches my eye. The dress is beautiful. I walk up and ask her where she bought it and in what size. She tells me it is in a size 225, which makes me frown in confusion. Before she speaks, a young man appears next to me, smiling. He asks if he would like to buy me a drink in the local tropical fruit juice bar (no alcohol for me I'm afraid!). I grin and accept the offer.

He leads me through the crowd, to a tall brown, carribean looking bar, like the ones on beaches abroad. The people inside look spanish. I look around, noticing that everyone looks a little spanish. I must be on holiday! I order a berry smoothie. I take a sip, it's delicious, but would be better with banana added to it.

The man who served me glowers down. He said I must not drink until I pay. The guy who brought me here said it's ok, and fishes around in his pockets. A woman comes over and says I must pay. I'm starting to get very confused. The three of them start argueing, as I stand awkwardly, holding my smoothie. Eventually, I pull some coins out of my pockets. I find it difficult to count the correct amount, but soon enough I hand the money over.

Waking Up

Semi-Lucid Lucid

I'm in my bed. I know I'm dreaming, as always when I wake up into this. A FA? I don't know. I find it very difficult to move. My jeans and t-shirt seem to be sticking uncomfortably to me. As soon as I'm out of my bed, I RC several times.

Yes, I'm dreaming. My lucids are gradually getting clearer and clearer. Not fully realistic yet, but getting there. I wonder if dream control will be an issue for me, since lucids like these don't happen too often. "No" I think. "My visualisation skills are good. I can do anything."

I switch on a dim light, open my door, and walk downstairs. I head into the living room, which I haven't done in these dreams before. Daylight is shining in through the window. My dog, a labrador, is lying curled up on the t.v stand, the actual t.v nowhere to be seen. I smile at how odd it is, but don't go over to see him. He just lies and watches me with his big brown eyes.

I jump onto the sofa below the window, and jump through. I pass most of the way through, until my foot gets stuck. I drag it through and drop to the ground.

And then I woke up. Not quite sure why, but I did

It was pretty cool though, because I've only ever had a few clear lucids, whereas the rest I counted as semi ones. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this, finally! Also, now that I have more time to lucid dream, my non-lucids have gotten clearer too.

Looking forward to more

Got a crappy sleep so I don't have much to write.

Awake Non-lucid

We're trapped. I seem to be in a large chamber. It's tiled in blue, with various levels. There's a girl here who I really don't like, she's the type of bleached-blonde-barbie-bimbo that I tend to hate. We give eachother evil glares, then turn away.

[Dreamskip] We've been trapped here for days, there's really no way out. We sit, eating whatever we can find, not talking often. But I guess It's nice to have some company at least... I can hear rushing water all of the time. Maybe there really is a way out? I don't know, we haven't found anything so far.

[Dreamskip] The girl and I have learned to trust each other. And we found a way out. There's a waterfall leading out! She grabs a giant celery stalk, and a inflated dingy, and gets in. I climb into it, feeling nervous, and she pushes it over the edge. We fall, I scream, feeling my stomach jump. Soon we land with a giant splash outside, on top of a building, bright sunlight beating off us.

Meh, hoping for a better sleep tonight so I can dream something decent

Awake Non-lucid Vivid

I dunno, this dream kinda hit a sore spot. I love my mum and all, but anything that we have in common, I kind of don't like. Hmm...

Whichever parts in my dreams that I label vivid, are really the parts where I should be getting lucid at, because it's clear enough that I should be recognising dream scenes. However, I'm still inexperienced, but working on it. Now that I've got into dream journaling again (well... kind of.) then my dreams are really picking up again Now I just need to start back with my WBTBs and I should be sorted.

My mum and I are walking along a hillside. The weather is cloudy and the hills are very green. My mum's talking to me about something, but I'm not listening. As always, her presense has dragged up memories that I'd rather bury down and forget. There are people travelling behind us.

I continue to walk and stare at the grass. I notice that the parts I'm walking on, are much darker than the rest. I stop and ask my mum about it. We both kneel down and examine the blades. There are grass seeds everywhere. I cry out as my mum pulls up a handful of grass. I quickly grab the handful and put it back, wanting nothing out of place.

"I wish we could travel more. I like it when we travel. Remember that time we walked all the way to Wales?" (these are past dreams that I'm mistaking to be memories. Strange huh?) "And that time we drove a helicopter into the mountines, and drove the car over the gap in the motorway and almost crashed? I like doing that."

I couldn't admit to her, that although I love the travelling, she always gives me a sense of depression when I'm with her. That I'd rather walk the length of Britain with one of my friends, or my brother, instead of her.

We keep walking. I get the sense that I should recognize something, but I don't.

I woke up feeling strange.
