The Meerkat's Lair

For the first time since I started this whole lucid journey, I wake up feeling not only that I cant recall, but that I didnt dream at all. Of course I know I did, but I really feel the only reason I cant remember anything is that there is simply nothing to remember

My challenge proved completely false It told me if I wanted to LD, I needed to do a MILD, with WBTB and also it would last 15 minutes. I did do that but nothing happened Which doesnt mean il stop, because I like doing the challenges

Dream 1: I am with another person camping in my room. Now the whole plotline revolves around bears

First, a black bear comes in the room and tries to get in the bed. I try my best to avoid it but it is huge and intimidating. It slowly chases me around until it gives up and walks out of the room. I am relieved, but a tiny bear now comes in. Probably the other ones baby I think. We play around a little until the mother pops up to the door. I give her back her baby and ask her (in french): Ca fait qu'on est quitte? To which it answers: No hard feelings. Kind of a missed Dreamsign here And I even thought to myself: Weird, this bear talks.
But then, my uncle comes in. He tells me the two reasons why I look stupid right now. First, he already came in twice and stole trophies from my table. And also because I try to defend myself with a little stick after "he spent countless hours training on a cussion". I try to make sense with him, but the other guy in my room jumps to action, grabs my stick and starts beating his face with it. Good initiative I try to help by punching his back furiously but also look at his teeth and think: Those arent that big, why are we so scared?

Dream 2:Yet another dream about the two girls from the academy. This time, Mme Marsolais makes teams for a project in science and tells us: If you cant work with someone...(pause) you will have to do it anyway. I freak out.

Dream 3:My mother watches the news and Alain Robert almost killed himself. I talk to her about how its a coincidence we watched the documentary about him last night.

Other ones I forgot

Kind of a sucky milestone, but yeah. I got my first creepy dream I would consider as a nightmare. Those where you wake up all sweaty. If you consider that I have now 38 DJ entries only one nightmare in all those dreams is a fairly good ratio. Of course im not writing it Duh. The whole point of nightmares is to forget them, and writing certainly doesnt help. I did get a girlfriend though in another dream. As she was hanging around on a balcony, I simply looked at her until she addressed me.

I am in my bathroom. This bathroom is merged with the staircase of my school. Me and my friend have to hack some kind of system without anyone noticing. Students continuously walk down the stairs, and I sometimes look at them. Their faces are very clear. Using a fake card with multiple little numbers on its face I swipe in the door. This weakens the system allowing me to hack with a round, metallic device. I do this multiple times, until it triggers an alarm. Like in action movies, the lights turn red and flash violently. I swipe my card again and the sound intensifies. I can hear the teachers at my school getting closer. I grab my device and finish in time. Phew

It all starts with an intro, very movie-ish, about how a radio-active fish contaminated something (plant?). When I enter this huge deserted place with a pool and my friend Alex whos a half-man half-fish dude, I immediately grab a piece and eat it. Im not stupid after all. I discover that these artifacts are scattered a little everywhere, and decide to search for them. These seem to give me the power they are associated with. I imagine myself possesing every one of these. I would be the ultimate entity (name of entry ). A mix of vampire, bear, fish along with other stuff I forgot . Kick-ass. I also need to find the human one cus, well, I also want to turn back into a human eventually. In the trunk of a big truck a man tells me not to transform in front of the villagers, which kinda makes sense I need to find the human one next, but I cant recall actually finding it. I do remember getting the vampire artifact. In a huge, grey, metal kitchen, a massive pie is in an oven. It suddenly catches on fire. An old woman takes out the pie which is not even slightly burned and I think: Awsum, I found the Vampire one . Also, a little wheel with different buttons with symbols on it represent the ones I found. When it lifts up, I got it. Sort of difficult to explain, but its very clear in my head. Like the paw symbol is the bear, the boot is human, ya know. Finally a dream interesting enough I actually feel like writing it. It has a decent storyline, which I appreciate

My grandma's after me. Both scary and disturbing. I fight her off in my garage (or atleast try to) while im waiting for my buddy Arnold (my partner from a past dream ). She evens tries ruse to fool me. As she walks away, she offers me food. Its probably poisonous, and I see right through it. I tell her and she smiles. Creepy

I think I failed an RC. Not sure. But I was on the street until I went: Wait a minute, how did I get here? I didnt take the bus! Did I RC? Maybe. But im absolutely sure I did not become lucid.

This is my break Back into LD tonight

Ya know what? Screw that damn technique! If I need to have a DILD, I certainly dont need RCs to do it. DEILD is the way to go, and I know it. But I dont feel like writing, so il stop there.

Dream 1: I get an ostrich somewhere and ride it around while bragging to people about it. In what appears to be a maze made of grass, it jumps over pedestrians and the walls itself.

Dream 2: This one is weird. Im not sure how to explain it, so I wont.

Awww... Im just down. Maybe its time I take a break from all this lucid dreaming

Vacations are over. Now the real challenge begins. I trained myself to overcome the obstacles that will be put in my way, and I am ready. Bring it on, subconscious. I expect the same results than August, better even. Its a lot, but it will be done. No doubt. Honestly, im too depressed to give a crap about my dreams. Imma write what I remember, but its the afternoon now so its not much.

Theres a hypnotist. Its Luc Langevin, who is a magician in real life (see picture)

Throughout the dream he hypnotises me numerous times, all in which I find myself in a dark, tight place in which I have to find a door. I am nothing, in 1rst person. When you walk over a tile it drops down. Once the door is open, you are back into the real world and Luc welcomes you before you start again. Also sometimes you kill zombies with a shotgun. Some take 2 and others 10 shots. In my backyard, I refer to him as Lucas, which he finds insulting. (Not a nightmare )

A now officially recurring dream of the Academy where we go in the park for a break. I chat with Ahmed, a guy I used to play soccer with in school. But somehow we end up back in the class, only to do more cooking

Ok. I give up. Im not gonna fly until school begins. I realise I gave myself an unrealistic challenge. After all, it takes people months to have a first lucid dream, and I have had 7 to date in August. Thats good, very good even. I got 3 LDs in 3 nights, which is amazing. And its not like I did nothing. I did stuff. Maybe flying is just a lil harder for me, and I think its all mental. Besides, just because school is more stressful doesnt mean I cant dream. I can keep dreaming, and I will. It may have an impact, but I am going to make sure to minimize it. I am at peace with my defeat, because it shall only motivate me more for my future victories, which will come eventually.

Dream 1: In the Academy again, I can remember my Chef is depressed because he doesnt feel like hes connecting with his students. I agree in my head. Then the place catches on fire very fast and is consumed. I am stuck and run away until I find myself in the Agora.

Dream 2: I am at school and in my school I place my stuff in a huge bag before heading outside to take my schoolbus. The big woman that takes care of the buses tells me mine has passed already. She books me another, crappy one full of old ppl.

Splitsecond lucid dreams that start at 8 o clock near the end of the night COUNT! They count! So yeah, another one this morning. Epic? No. My non-LDs were far more. Here they come, in the order I think they happened:

Another, more and more recurring dream with the girls at the Academy. This time they change counter completely and I hope they wont bother us anymore. But as time passes, I notice they do more and more stuff on our counter, until a lonely dude is the only thing left on theirs.

An epic quest full of crazy women, cafeteria food and kindergarten classes. This was a very long dream I dont really remember. I do recall going to find a crazy woman in a classroom twice, and thinking about it the second time. HUGE chunk missing here.

Im playing Combat Arms. My gun is stuck (like in real life) but gets unstuck at times. Those times I kickass and do multi kills like hell. The map is Death Room. I head up the stairs and find a weird orange cartoony character. He tells me he can mimic people and objects. Somehow I am one too, but a little different. We play around trying to shapeshift into various objects, reversing colors and stuff. More specifically a flower pot. I guess I needed to get that out of my system, but im not satisfied unless its lucid

Im Donkey Kong and me and my buddy Diddy have to climb a huge vine. In Donkey Kong Country, a similar one has to be climbed in the later ruin levels. But were not in the ruins; were in a huge, empty field. And the vine is HIGH. Very HIGH. We both start climbing until Diddy decides hes a wuss and wants me to be in front of him. Son of a bitch. I am also very scared, thinking about the incredible height and the fact that there is a baddie over our heads. In the next scene, I am looking at Diddy climbing while I am hanging out on the ground. He starts swinging furiously until regaining control is impossible. A voice (narrator?) tells him he may want to let go. He does and falls to the ground next to me. I rush to help him.

Heres the cheap LD: I have a False Awakening where I start to float away but hold on to my bed. Very smart to begin with. My eyes are closed, but as always I feel like if I open them I will open my real eyes, which I really dont want. So im still in my bed and I RC to find im dreaming, though the floating kinda confirmed that. Then, I do one of the dumbest ive ever done in an LD, I lye down. In my bed. What a way to forget your real body. Put yourself in the exact same position and ask yourself if its real. Of course I wake up (geez). But it counts anyway. Then I didnt move but couldnt DEILD

Nights left: 2

I refuse to accept that my roll is over. It just...took a break. I mean even pros dont have DILDs every night. Everyone is unlucky at times. The question is: Did I just get unlucky, or was I just very lucky before? The answer is probably the later, but I dont care. The break is over and its time to get back on track here. The only thing I dont like is since I regained confidence in DILD my attraction to DEILD dropped dramatically. Enough so that I completely forget about it when I wake up. Which is bad. Anyway, my dreams for today:

They all turn around a single plotline in which I conduct a social war over a group of bullies at my school. They didnt bully me at school but I just hate them since any bully I hate. In an entire new school I try to make as much friends as possible. Some are girls and some are guys. In Dream 1, I assemble my team while confronting the dudes.
Dream 2 a woman is singing a Christmas song to which we sing along. We can see the two distinct groups sitting in a big circle, mine being much bigger.
Dream 3 is one where I trick people in a dépanneur with a little yellow paper. When you hit the shelves the paper goes down one level. Im not sure where the trick is there, but the man is very pissed off. I run away outside which is conviniently the school yard.

Another one. Three. In a row. Three in a row. Wow. I cant believe it. It took me 24 DAYS to reach a total of 3 Lds and now I get three IN A FREAKIN ROW. I dont know what im doing, but im doing something right and im gonna keep doing it.

Dream 1: I am Cleveland (Family guy) who escapes from Lois who is trying to kill him. Something about his breakup with Loretta (his wife).

DILD: The beginning is weird, since im not quite sure how I got lucid in the first place. This time it wasnt me that though about checking; I think it was a song on the radio that said something like: This is a dream. Its all a dream. Stuff like that. But where was that situated in time and space? No idea. Only now I do tons of shit. I talk with my first DC (mom) and tell her: You know this is a dream, right? She seems interested so I even show her how to do a reality check.
Here's the plotline for this dream: Nothing happens! Nothing! No event with DCs whatsoever. Just me trying to fly like a beheaded chicken. Along with other stuff. I even tried Loafs technique, which failed too. Damn. I jumped really high, tried from different heights, backflip again. Next time (tonight )I will try: Swimming, taking a pill to give me the ability to fly, giant magnet. I am starting to think im trying too much to fly. Like the more I fail the more it looks like a huge task. I may take a break of flying and try other, maybe easier things tonight. Like stretching my arm, skin, tongue and other body parts. After all, im good at turning a wall in Jello, which is pretty hard. If I can make pills appear in my pocket, it will trigger a placebo effect which will hopefully help me achieve my goals. After all, that same effect helped me get 3 DILDs in a row, a fourth one tonight So im not doubting its power!

Oh yeah. Two nights. Two DILDs. Not DEILD like I would appreciate it, but two LDs nonetheless Not only that, in this one stuff HAPPENED! Not much, but STUFF! I dont remember much about my non-lucids, but who cares?

The DILD: It is unclear how I ended up in this dream. The time was 2:50, but I dunno if I checked my real or dream watch. Im unsure about wether I got up from a false awakening or woke up, fell asleep and THEN got up. Anyway, I get up, go in the living room. Gabriel is waiting for me there, on the couch. Apparently he stopped at our house on his bike. At 2:50. Ok. Then I suddenly realise that dreaming is pretty much over now. U can forget DEILD for today. I dont like that, and tell my mom that its 2:50. It is day outside though. We chat for awhile until he leaves to Gab's house with...an 8 year old version of me. Im kind of half aware that its me, but I still wonder about how I never met what appears to be my lil bro. I ask if I can go with them, and mom says yes. As I am walking in the hallway I go: Oh lemme guess this is a dream. Yup. I do various reality checks, like turning a light on and off. Then I try to fly thru my window, fail, and walk outside. Instantly its dark outside again. Damn it, I kinda wanted daylight. The cats stalking the door, but it doesnt matter.
Here is the place for lots of firsts. I encounter my first beautiful dreamscape. As I am walking outside, it starts to snow. Glowing, coloured snow. Its awesome. The trees are also covered and glitter in the night. If I could paint, I would paint it. Thats not my skill, though I am wearing a snow suit that seems to disappear and pop back up at times. I levitate for the first time. In the middle of the road, I do a backflip on my back and land floating two inches from the floor. Nice, but far from satisfying. Then as im floating I cant quite control it and get back on my feet a couple of times. So i give up and try the finger thru palm RC for the first time. I didnt know how it felt. So I remove my three pairs of gloves and push my finger. After a while, it pops right thru. Cool, but time's up. Already. I remember thinking: Awww, its over!

Other crap: FA where I push down a bunch of round candy thinking il pick them up in the morning.

Yay another DILD where I wake up instantly! Sigh... but NEW RECORD! 6 DREAMS in 1 NIGHT!

Dream 1: Something to do about my schoolbus.

Dream 2: I am Spongebob trying to infiltrate Squidwards house, which is a maze. I think of laying flat on the wall til he passes but he sees me. Damn it.

Dream 3: Sometimes im on the comp, sometimes im not. Depends First im not. I am in a car with Russell
Crowe. When our car ride is done, I decide I will collect celebrities. There was a name, but i forgot However, to get a celebrity, you need to go through a series of hallucinations, mostly scary ones (like SP). I pick Cameron Diaz on my comp, while Amelie is watching me. Im not in front of my comp anymore, but inside a purple tunnel. A big smiley face appears before being crushed by spikes in a bloody scene. I dont recall aquiring Cameron, and I pick another star. The screen starts with HI but then the screen comes back to the home page. I immediatly think something scary will pop up and the home page is part of the trick. This proves shocking enough for me to wonder if im dreaming. While im doing a successful RC grandma is walking towards the room. Now I think to myself: Ok, im dreaming. Great. And of course, I wake up. Again. Nice

Dream 4:
Part 1. Im a thief running away from cops. On rooftops. Video-game style. The kind of burglar like in a cartoon. You can also pick your character, all I remember is that the burglar holds a bag of money that slows you down. So at some point im cornered by two policemen. One has a gun but doesnt fire, the other a HUGE fan. He turns it on towards me and I fight against the wind to shoot it with a Charged Beam which I apparently have. I remember thinking: Come on thats not fair! I manage to keep running on other rooftops. Then I start again. All over again. Until I somehow hear about a secret escape through a prison that baffles police dudes. I try to find it but my mom calls me to go in the pool. So I quickly find my secret which is like a place you jump in and pop out at the other side.
Part 2. In my backyard it is foggy, cold and even raining a little. I ask my mom if we really have to go today, but its because Francis, who is fat, needs to train and do more physical exercise for his ankles. Me and my sister hop in while he hangs around. Suddenly his ankles start hurting like hell and he screams in pain. He leaves the pool.

Dream 5: I have lived this dream before. Today? A week ago? A month ago? I dunno. But it was not my first time in the following dream. I have to save a princess, or something like that. Not sure what, but its very important. I am in a church with tons of persons on the benches. In a dramatic entrance, my partner Arnold Schwarzenegger comes inside with a ray of light. We both go in the middle and he does a ritual with an onion. While he does this bad guys jump to attack us and prevent whatever were doing. In them is Fonzie (but old, like in AD) and Lindsay Bluth. There are more I cant recall. Arnold throws me the onion and in reflex I throw it to the bad dudes. I immediatly recognize my mistake and manage to take it back. Once the ritual is complete, the princess is born inside Camille, and shes gonna have to blow up to give it birth. Nice. A parade storms all around. A woman is wearing a big orange afro wig. Another has puppets.

Dream 6: I am talking to an old man in front of a shelve full of music CDs. He talks to me about how he loves Billy Talent and other Alternative/punk bands. Hes wearing a red jacket. I propose to him other artists from my music library, including Daughtry and Nickelback. Then when I mention Green Day, he says: Oh yeah, that was his girlfriend in hockey! And im like: Yeah! Uh...What? Thats it.

Six in one. Yay! Thats gotta be like the whole freakin night! But with all this, 6 NIGHTS LEFT. I decided tonight is my last shot. If I dont get a respectable, full lucid dream in the following night (like my second one ) im pulling out THE HEAVY ARTILLERY

That means RC every freakin minute, DEILD, MILD or WILD if fail, WBTB, even CAN-WILD if required. Im gonna read, watch, post, live the dream. The clock is ticking, but I WILL fly until school. Thats guaranteed. I will even talk to my parents about it and listen to MP3s if it is absolutely needed.
