    1. Forest and Sex

      by , 04-23-2015 at 11:13 AM (The Dream Magic Experiment)
      I was in a forest. I was with some people. Then there was only me and a woman. We had sex. After that, I walked away and kept thinking if I used a condom or not and hoped that I did. I felt regret as I walked away.

      Notes:

      - Slept at around 10:30 a.m., woke up around 3-4 p.m.
      - Was awake for over 24 hours.
      - Had a lot of coffee.
      - Met with a potential tenant replacement.

    2. New Practice and Lost Time (Wall Mediation)

      by , 04-23-2015 at 10:23 AM
      Morning of April 23, 2015. Thursday.

      Dream #: 17,657-02. Reading time: 2 min 15 sec.



      My sleeping dreaming mind is separate from my unconscious mind (and over twenty years of memory) in an altered version of Loomis Street. Instead of Marilyn dying recently (though she did not die while living at Loomis Street), it is about 1978. My brother-in-law Bob’s appearance matches that time. I am in their house, sleeping on the floor in the south room, with my head west near the windows. The bathroom is more like the bathroom of our present home. When I am in the bathroom, I vaguely recall my identity.

      I am building a new foundation of instinctual dreaming practice (to deliberately enhance my dreams). I have placed about one and a half inches of blue electrician’s tape on the door vertically, on the right side above the doorknob at eye level. I test it by going close to make sure the tape center is at eye level. It may produce more personal and vivid dreams. I adjust it by sliding it around on the door like a magnet, which would be impossible. I vaguely think about my brother-in-law questioning why I put it there, but he does not. He passes me in the small hallway. I want to make sure it remains in place. If it does not, there is the concern that my next dreams will be less expressive of my desires. There is also something to the left of the blue tape (near the middle and at the same height). I am unsure of what it is. It seems like metal, related to the tape strip’s function.

      Later, I am again lying on the floor to rest. There are many miscellaneous objects near my blankets, near cardboard storage boxes. I start thinking about why I did not go to Marilyn’s funeral. It seems strange I did not go, like lost time. It seems related to how only a few people (mostly female relatives) went. Perhaps her husband did not go. It does not enter my imaginary dream self’s erroneous mind that I did not go because I live in Australia.

      While settling on the floor to sleep, I notice big ants close to the wall, near my head. There are also at least two big ants near my feet. I trap those under a Lego brick. I crush a few others, and none of them get close enough to bite. I slowly wake in the position I had been in my dream. My waking-life memory and identity slowly return, and I feel relieved and happy about being with Zsuzsanna.

      My dream’s dynamics stem from a lesser urge to wake and use the bathroom, but the ants finally increase my attention to contemplate where I am, getting me to think more about where I am sleeping, and my emerging consciousness activates. Ants coming out of an anthill is an analogy to emerging from the dream state.



      The rest stems from instinctual dreaming and dynamics to prevent associations with waking life. Because thinking skills are not viable in subliminal space, there is confusion. I mix several concepts into an amalgam. The amalgam includes a loose association with my use of a cassette TAPE to script dreams. That distorts into electrician’s tape. It is additionally confused with the stickiness of magnets. A door isolates the imaginary dream self from conscious identity but can be used to exit the dream or vivify and sustain it.

    3. 2015-04-23 really interesting dreams, but recall mostly not great

      by , 04-23-2015 at 09:58 AM
      Dreams last night were *really interesting* but recall of them not great in some cases:

      + in a group of friends, we've time travelled back a bit in time, we're in my paren't house, I hope we can make it through without them seeing us and causing paradoxes, the crowd of people is in theater-style seating in the dark, but my dad looks at us and cracks a big smile

      + group of friends, putting on hoodies (which one is best?), childhood neighborhood, take of flying down the streets/hills, turn a few corners (on our typical route left down F then left on A), see major power line downage, enter heavy construction area, trying to climb (should I do a spiderman climb?)/jump up pole to read its service number (32), leave area and a narrator is telling a man with a heavy English accent who walks by me not to interfere

      + arrive to street in front of childhood home, family dinner there on a long dining table in the street, my mother is receiving news about my arrival and it finishes it projects all sort of horrible end results and disasters and starts crying heavily, then she's narrating what happened and described that her son-in-law's mother was being rude to her like she typically does

      + flying with friends going somewhere over hilly cities/suburbs, we go to "my sister's house" and observe from the air (an army of cleaning people is working there?); later, leaving this house waiting for the hovering (alien?) air ships to land, something's wrong, there's too many and they're keeping their distance, they open fire, I fire a bazooka-style rocket launcher at one, miss, fire again at another more carefully and wait for the target lock sound, hear it, fire, and know that it's dead, there's no avoiding the homing rocket once it's locked on.

      + walk through outdoor daylight area, people there, I see a small "bread girl" and think about touching her bread boobs and either shrinking to her size or growing her to my size then stop when I realize how stupid it is to want to get with a girl made out of bread, I decide to fly away, but when I jump for take-off a full bottle of tequila falls out of my pant leg, I see a girl seated on the ground and go to her and pour tequila shots for us and a group, the weird little shot glasses have a lot of crumbs/sand around the rim and I think about brushing it off

      +(f) "backstage" at some camp/event large area lots of groups, walking through it; enter another back stage see an (ex-girlfriend?), lie down on top of her back saying "you know you want to get back together" we walk out

      + in a crowd of people like a video game scrambling for objects on the ground, I use a keyboard interface and try "get all" but that's disabled, I try to list the individual objects and get one by one but there's too much pandemonium to get sense of anything; a guy is struggling with my son to take things from a bag, they're both digging in, my wife is standing to the side, I look and see just things like bread

      + in a canoe on U. Lake in boy scouts, calm early morning, think about teaching MoSa canoeing merit badge, water levels are low and see the rocks below the surface, I'm canoeing, doing J stroke, sometimes alternating sides (like a noob), return to J stroke (like a cool canoer) enter R. lagoon, the obstacle course is messed up from the water being low, go to the end by R. camp, see a good obstacle, successfully go through it, see a deep pool light by a ray of the sun and there are goldfish in it, think that's odd, I should show the others, some non-scouts are camping in R. camp I catch a glimpse of them, their big SUV is parked *in the water* of the lagoon, head back out to the lake, catching another glimpse of the strange goldfish in the light.

      Dream journal

      I was reading through dream journals list. One of them caught my attention. It was a dream journal of a russian dude. I felt that it has all the informations I'll ever need, and something told me that I should read it. His entries were built from brief descrition, and content of the dream placed in a spoiler. I looked at one of the entries.

      Description was in English language, and it said about his preparation for the dream. Opening the spoilers I saw only some cyrillic letters. I opened a translator in a second window, and tried to translate it. When I typed it, I received more text in cyrillic as translation. I closed the spoiler, and tried to read another of his entries.

      Description in the entry was made of three cyrillic letters, and the spoiler was empty. I looked through the list of his entries, and got only confused. I closed the browser and turned my laptop off. I looked through the window. It was midnight, I couldn't see anything.

      Suddenly I spotted a shape looking from the outside, through the window. It just stood there in place, without making any moves. I felt it's gaze upon me, but I wasn't afraid. I closed the blinds on the windows, and took a lantern out of my pocket.

      Then I could see the room I was in. It had wooden floor, and cracked concrete walls. In the middle of the room there was a table with my laptop placed on it. The table looked like it's going to collapse. There was no chair, or anything else in the room.

      I couldn't see the door, the window was only way out of the room. I opened the blinds, and then opened the window. I went out of the room, and the shape appeared again.
    5. [Lucid Dream] ToTM Attempt 1

      by , 04-23-2015 at 04:51 AM (The Lost Sanctuary)


      W.I.L.D. Attempt #2 ~ Since 2 Days Ago, When I Started Lucid Dreaming Again
      T.O.T.M. (Task of the Month) Advanced & Bonus Task


      ~ Dream #1 ~

      100% Lucidity



      Approximate Real Life Time: Around ten minutes

      Approximate Dream Time: A few hours

      Backstory:
      I live high up in an apartment building.

      Story:
      After sleep paralysis, I didn't see anything, so I decided to create the dream scene myself. I woke up in my bed and my eyes couldn't see anything within my eyelids, so I melted ( came out / floated upwards & ) out of my body. I immediately knew I was lucid. I was still on the bed, so I jumped down from it on onto the carpet. I put hand hand through the window and melted ( went through ) through it. I looked towards the left of me and saw dark clouds with a tint of light gray and vibrant white. A sphere-shaped object like a white Sun was approximately 3 miles away hovered over the horizon in front of me. It glowed white, and very, very hot because I can feel a bit warm from here, outside my window. I looked around and noticed that all the houses were light free, and dark. It seems abandoned. There was a small pinch of the ocean was towards the right of me, and it was colored light gray. Many may think of this seems a nightmare, but I think it is absolutely beautiful, and amazing. Since I was in the fresh open air floating around doing absolutely nothing, I decided to get that shiny ToTM badge, even though it's almost the end of the month. I re-read the ToTM post with my dream body's mind's eye. I wanted to do the advanced task, and the bonus task ( Secretly, I forgot the rest of the tasks. lol ) So, this was the beginning of my first attempt to do the ToTM. I decided to open a portal to an unknown realm that has an advanced civilization. A purple portal opened below me and I flew into the portal head first.

      At first, the place I flew into was empty. Suddenly, a light purple flash of electricity struck the scene, and BAM! there it was ... Castle in the Sky V2. If I wasn't worrying about the ToTM right now, I would facepalming myself and subconscious for having such low creativity. I decided to fly over there, and examine the place a little bit. This place was a bit smaller than Castle in the Sky and had no visible trees. There were only two floors to the place, and each floor was made of curved, bronze arches. There are also ramps on the side of the floating building that lead you to the next floor. The place seemed to be abandoned too like Castle in the Sky. Well, that's what I thought at first.

      I decided to examine the arches, and when I got close, the arches opened upwards into a tunnel. When I looked into the tunnel, there were tree roots all around the place inside. I walked further into the tunnel of the arch, and I saw a dark, gray wolf with red eyes and small teeth looking at me. I drew a sword out of nowhere, preparing myself to fight, but I decided to make it friendly because I was feeling nice today. After that, I vaporized my sword into thin air. I started to head back towards the outside, and continued to examine the place. I looked behind me, and the wolf didn't follow me. It was huffing and puffing like a happy dog, now. I smiled back at it. I started to go up to the top floor, and when I got there, I saw a red, glowing, square-pyramid prism on top of a pedestal right in the center. I touched the red prism, and it started to moved the entire building upwards towards the sky, and when I let go, it stopped. Sometime later, I laid down at rooftop with my legs dangling off the building, and I looked up into the massive light blue sky with a few clouds in it. After a while, I got up, and decided to do my next task.

      I opened a portal to the ISS station, and I jumped from the rooftop and into the portal. Instead of having a portal delay like last time, I instantly saw the ISS and our white-yellowish sun, then I turned to my right and saw our beautiful Earth. I also just noticed I wasn't in the ISS, rather I was outside of the ISS. Uh-oh. I was orbiting the Earth now. Oh well, I guess I'll take a picture of Earth instead. I grabbed my Samsung Galaxy S4 from my pocket, and looked at it. The time read 6:36PM. Approximately 13 hours from when I was dreaming. I unlocked my phone with a pattern password, and opened the Camera App. Then, I took a picture of Earth, and it saved to my fake phone's memory card.

      Since I was done with both tasks and I was getting bored for some reason, I forced myself to wake up.

      Dream End.

      Remember to comment your thoughts (if you want to)!

    6. Glowing Blue and Pool Time

      by , 04-23-2015 at 03:32 AM (One Up Seeker)
      1. I was upstairs in my room and I had just "awoken" out of bed to find that I was out of water. I get up out of my bed and put on my glasses, then open my door and walk down the hallway. It is extremely dark and everyone is still asleep. I try not to make too much noise on my way downstairs. Once I get downstairs I make a left and walk through the dining room to get to the kitchen. I then open the doors to the kitchen and walk in. Immediately upon doing so I see that the entire kitchen area and dinner table area is glowing an electric blue. The blue is so vivid that it looks like the blue nightlight I used to have as a kid.
      I go to the fridge and open it up and take out a water bottle. I then close it and leave the kitchen. As I do so though, I turn on the kitchen light to see because I start to feel a spooky vibe. I leave the kitchen light on and start walking back upstairs. Before I even get to the stairs I hear my dad get up out of his bed and open his bedroom doors, "Son, turn off that damn light right now!" he yells. I have no idea how he could see the light with his bedroom doors closed and the kitchen isn't even in the line of sight from his room. Anyways, I turn off the kitchen light. I then walk back through the dining room back to the stairs. Suddenly I hear everyone getting up now and as I take my first step up the stairs, everyone comes out of their rooms and walks downstairs.
      Now I see my mom, dad, and my sister all walking down the stairs towards me. My first thoughts are, "Wow, my dad must be super pissed". He then goes into the living room of our house and sits down in his recliner and turns on the television. My sister ignores me and walks into the kitchen. I look at the carpet I am standing on and see that I have dropped something. I pick up whatever it is and find it to be a blue memory chip. I "remember" that the memory chip is supposed to go into my phone, and my mom tells me this too. I try sticking the chip into a slot in the side of my phone, but it won't fit. "Mom can you help me figure this out real quick?" I ask. "Sure, just put it in right here" she says. I then figure it out and the chip is now in the side of my phone.
      I take a step back to turn around to go back into the kitchen to do something, but as I do I step on something wet a gooey. I look down to see what I have stepped on and find that I had just stepped on wet spaghetti and a few vegetables. "Mom, why is there spaghetti on the ground?" I ask. She doesn't reply. The front door suddenly opens and two soldiers walk in and walk upstairs, taking spaghetti that they had just now gotten stuck onto their foot with them.

      2. I am in a movie perspective, watching this dream happen. I see my friend Andrew walking alongside Mel Gibson as they walk outside next to a pool. Andrew says that he got a whole group of naked women to help cool Mel off this afternoon for his upcoming movie. I now materialize into myself and I am sitting at the poolside. Mel Gibson passes out because of all the naked women, but he doesn't want them at the pool. Andrew gets in the pool with me and we are the only 2 dudes at the moment. There are about 7 or 8 hot naked babes in the pool with us at the moment and everyone is just chilling and having fun. Suddenly a high-tech t.v. pops up out of the ground next to the pool and the t.v. pulls up a website that teaches spanish.
      "Shit Cory, now we have to do our daily spanish lessons again" Andrew tells me. We both look at the t.v. Andrew gives me a remote to navigate around on the tv. I click on the website we are supposed to go to for our spanish lesson and the website is called "Yaka 24". I then get sidetracked and end up going to another website. On this other website there are videos listed all the way down the page. All the videos are just music videos. As I scroll down past all of these videos, I see that MrSuicideSheep, a famous music guy from youtube, has liked one of the videos. I look at the thumbnail image of the video and it is a forest with many trees and a clear sky above them.
      Suddenly my attention is brought to myself because I feel my leg being pulled down from underneath the pool. The feeling feels very vivid and real. Whoever it is is really strong and I am pulled into the pool. I think it is Andrew because I can't see him so I tell him, "Dude Andrew stop man!" but he doesn't listen. I am now underwater. I open my eyes and look around and there is no one near me who could've pulled me down. I look up at the surface and see the naked babes swimming and still having fun. All of a sudden, the pool starts flashing between its regular blue color, and a black void. This flash goes on and it makes me semi-lucid.
      I swim up to the surface and see a naked babe in front of me. She makes eye contact with me and comes over. She bends over and I slap her ass and finger it(Wow, that escalated pretty quickly). My animal instincts come alive now and I want to fuck the shit out of this girl. However, I get that same feeling again, and it feels even more real this time. Someone has their hands wrapped around my leg near the ankle and are pulling me.

      Note: As I wake up, I still feel someone pulling my ankle. I don't see anyone and I'm not sure if this was a hallucination or sleep paralysis or what. I've never had sleep paralysis.

    7. Night of April 21 2015

      by , 04-22-2015 at 11:08 PM (My paranoid adventure into the mind.)
      Not bad. I can't quite remember everything that happened in this dream, and sadly it's the only one I remember.

      Fell into the influence of heroin

      This dream probably happened because we recently finished the drug unit in health.

      I was in school and I think they were teaching us about drugs. But for some reason, it was my teacher last year. I forget what I was thinking about it, but the scene changed and I was and I was in the hallway. There was a group of people and I think they were drug dealers of some sort. They were trying to give me a cookie, but I knew it was injected with heroin. I very easily refused, and tried to walk away. But they persevered and threw the cookie at my mouth. It hit some other part of my face but missed my mouth. Though, a small piece fell in my mouth and I ate it. I instantly panicked. But after a few moments I realized that there was no effect, so I thought that it wasn't enough to get me drunk or more importantly addicted. The scene changed again back to my classroom, but the wall with the chalk board continued into this large room bigger than the class room. Though it was really dark and had a large television screen close to the wall that had the chalk board. We were playing some interactive activity on the screen. I was feeling an addictive effect from the heroin but was able to suppress it. I was then scared because I may become addicted. The scene changed again to the lobby of my current school. I went up to last year's teacher and asked him what he thinks about drug addicts. and what a strange question to ask out of all the possible more useful ones. He said that he doesn't like them, disrespects them, and would definitely not ever teach one. The scene then changed to the room of a house I don't recognize. There were strange spheres floating in the air of varying colours. The addiction came back again and I finally fell victim. I consumed a bunch of heroin, which was apparently those spheres, then I looked up at the sky. It was night and there was a full moon. That's when I woke up.

      Wasted Earth

      I was inside a crypt. I was working with an expedition to discover secrets of a forgotten civilisation. I was searching for rock slabs that covered knowledge about it's past. I've found one, and took it to one of the researchers - an old man with long, grey beard and grey hair. He told me that they received an information about placement of one of the slabs, and gave me electronical device similar to PDA.

      I went out of a crypt I was inside before, and looked around. The world was highly devastated. Toxic gases filled the air, I could see green clouds on the seeimngly dark brown sky. I could breathe normally though. The soil was barren, and there were only a few oasis where any vegetation could survive. I could see distortions over the horizon, and then I've received a message from researchers that I should move quick, as a huge heat wave was coming.

      I had no weapon or protective suit. My only chance was to get quickly to the place where slab was seen, and get back as quickly as I can. I moved on. The air became more dry over the time, and distortions over the horizon were getting stronger.

      Going through dry river valleys and entering a plateau of barren land I looked at all the skeletons scattered around. They must've died in one sudden event. Suddenly I spotted an oasis in the distance. It covered a hill and a valley. It wasn't too big area. Seeing that heat wave was getting much stronger, I ran towards it.

      I got into the oasis just in time. I saw that heat wave gathered enough strenght that soil started to burn. The anomalous heat wave haven't had any effect on the oasis though. I looked at the sky. Dark brown colour transisted smoothly with red and orange.

      I sat on the ground. Looking on the PDA-like device I saw that the slab is Then I heard someone cursing at the sudden heat wave. I went there, and saw a man in blue protective suit. It was reinforced, and some mechanisms were added to make it more of a protective exoskeleton. The man wasn't wearing helmet. He had dark hair and brown eyes. I started the conversation.

      - What's going on?

      - Man!? Where have you been for past few months?

      *silence*

      - Alright then. Any other questions?

      - Where did you get that protective suit?

      - Found a few kilometres away from this oasis. It belonged to a dead mercenary.

      - Who killed the mercenary?

      - You should ask what killed him. Beasts. Horrible creatures adapted to live in this hostile environment.

      - What can you tell me about those beasts?

      - Probably there are many species of them, but we know about only a few. Example of them can be sliders. They have strong exoskeleton, and razor-sharp teeth. When chasing their prey, they slide on the ground. They are dangerous alone, and if you can meet group of them - good luck. The second beast you need to know about are bone breakers. They don't attack you, and their meat seems to be edible. You must be carefull when hunting them, as they have muscular limbs, able to break femur without using their full capabillities.

      - How can they survive in the heat?

      - Sliders dig holes and hide deep in the ground. When heat waves are over they wait for a prey to walk over the hole. Bastards can feel you coming from long distance. Bone breakers live close to caves, but they also visit oasis from time to time. Deep in the cavernous lakes they are safe from heat. You must also know about more dangerous species. Two most dangerous beasts are predators and wild horns.

      - I guess predators are the most dangerous?

      - Nope. Predators are weak, and live only in upland regions, where they can find suitable for them conditions. Their only strenght is their speed and powerful limbs. They can tear your limbs apart. Wild horns are the most dangerous beast you'll ever encounter. The mercenary belonged to a group that was attacked by one wild horn. The beast's exoskeleton is stronger than any other substance found in the Wastelands. Eyelids of the beast are protected by transparent layer of this substance when eyes need protection. Bastards can survive strongest of heat waves. When they see their prey, they shoot horns out of their backs. The rain of high speed horns made of strong, sharp substance can go through any armor. This was the only armor that was in quite good state. I had to throw away the helmet, as one of the horns hit the mercenary in the head. I have a helmet in my stuff, ready to be put on when going out of the oasis. Anyway, what are you doing here?

      - I was sent to recover a slab.

      - You mean this? I took it from dead mercenaries. Why do you need it?

      - I help researchers of forgotten civilisation. I need to give it back to them.

      - And they've sent you on suicidal mission for a slab? Nevermind, take it.

      I take the slab in my hand, and put it in a backpack. I ask.

      - Why did you cursed at the heat?

      - I wanted to move on, when it stopped me from getting out of this place.

      - Why do you want to leave the oasis?

      - It's too peaeful in here, people just can't live without their problems.

      *I'm surprised that I could recall such amount of dialogue. All I remembered in the morning were brief moments. By trying to recall more of the dream a few times this day, I was able to recover some lost information about the dream.*
    9. Shark

      by , 04-22-2015 at 07:26 PM
      I wasn't really interested in my dreams tonight but I'm just going to write a bit about the last dream.

      I was with a group of people in an unknown room. Maybe it was a classroom. I took a look at my hands and the tips of my fingers were turning a bit blue. A guy who I considered to be a close friend and older than me told me that he would heal it for me. When I looked at my hands they were turning purple now but than the guy put some weird tiny sea creatures that looked like eels on the tips of my fingers. He told me he had finished healing me and than someone announced that we had to hurry up or we wold be late for the wedding. A girl who I know was present and mentioned that we were lucky to go to Las Vegas to be married and that she wanted to go with us. I said she could and on our way to the plane I saw a box filled with delicious candy. I stuffed my mouth with sour gummy worms but it was so chewy so i spit t back out.

      Than we entered the air plane which was a private plane. "Do I really want to go to Las Vegas now?" I thought to myself while looking around. Someone had asked if the plane was safe to the pilot and he said " Of course its safe! Haven't you ever heard of time dilation!? I do it all time." This scared us so we decided not to take the plane with the pilot. We left and were now at a strange tunnel with stone tiles and people walking around. I couldn't find the guy I was suppose to marry than realized that i couldn't because it was just a dream.
      I ended up seeing a old friend around and just for fun told her it was a dream. She looked at me unsure than just kept walking away. After that I decided to go to a different scene. A tropical island scene. So I went through the walls and imagined myself jumping into a tropical island.

      The island appeared and i could see what looked like water rides all around the island. Cartoon people that looked like they were from "The Wild Thornberrys" show were sliding on the rides. I wanted to go inside the water but my butt was stuck in the other part of the dream scene. I did my best to let my mind go and managed to free myself and was swimming inside the water really fast. I ended up in a huge undersea stone building with some modern technology in it though. To make matters worse a red shark appeared out of now where. It looked so real in form that i didn't want to get near it. So I kept swimming away from it and ended up in a really tall tower where I kept swimming around and up. Than I appeared back inside the room where a gray shark was. But it disappeared quickly as soon as i thought about how I already dealt with the other shark. I than noticed a guy who looked Indian cowering beside a computer down below. I felt sorry for him than swam for a bit and woke up.


      BTW I took the google Earth Day quiz today and it turns out i'm a cuttlefish. xD Who knew.

    10. Balloon and Mantra (WILD + FAs)

      by , 04-22-2015 at 07:21 PM
      Ritual: WTB 2:30am, woke up to work from 5:30 to 6:30am, realized I'd drunk too much coffee before bedtime and have trouble going back to sleep. I figure as long as I'm insomniac, might as well try for LD and take some L-theanine and alpha-GPC. I try counting but have trouble focusing, realize I need more motivation so resolve on a task. I had been thinking earlier about the use of mantras for getting lucid, and I've had trouble deciding on one so I thought I should ask a DC.

      WILD, "Balloon and Mantra": Since it seemed to initiate directly from the waking state, I guess this was a WILD though there was no distinct experience of transition, at least in the way I usually experience it (shifting into dream while continuing to perceive that I am lying in bed). At the beginning it felt more like hypnagogic imagery that I was playing around with, but gradually acquired more solidity and focus. (Or maybe that's the "normal" way people do it, haha.)

      I'm on top of a building, playing catch with two other girls. We're throwing a ball around between us counter-clockwise. The girl to my left spikes the ball to make it hard for me to catch, so I retaliate by throwing it right back at her when she's not expecting it, instead of continuing to pass to the other girl. She says it's not fair because she wasn't paying attention. I retort that I did it because of the way she was playing.

      The game becomes more leisurely and the ball becomes a balloon. I sit down and I'm practicing moving it telekinetically. The balloon is making the kind of strange echoing sounds that you hear when handling real balloons, only strongly magnified. I'm impressed with the way my mind can conjure that unusual but distinctive sound which I probably haven't heard in years. Although the sound component of the dream is impressively vivid, the visuals are terrible. The whole scene is in grainy black and white, and the balloon is white too, which makes it very hard to see against the sky when I bounce it up into the air. At one point I launch it away from me and lose sight of it altogether. When I go to summon it back, instead of the balloon returning to my hand, my right hand is contorted with a strange sensation, like it's being squeezed.

      Around this time, everything switches over to bright color, brilliant blues and pinks. It happens as suddenly as turning on a light, and makes everything look much more vivid and cheerful. I figure this is REM switching on more fully, and comment to one of the DCs, "Hey, color just kicked in!" I notice that instead of the two girls, there are now at least a dozen of them, and they seem to be having a dance party. I hear a bouncy pop song playing in the background.

      I get up and wander through the group, then suddenly I remember the task I had designated as I went to sleep. I approach a girl at random. She's dressed very unusually and elaborately, probably day residue from a Chinese painting I was looking at in WBTB, and I'm doubtful about whether she will be able to help, but figure it can't hurt to ask.

      "I'm looking for a lucid dream mantra," I begin, then think I should explain more clearly what I mean. "Something that—"

      "Who is your mantra?" she interrupts. It's such an odd question that I stop and look more closely at her. Her face is pretty but blank.

      "That was my question," I reply, then wait to see if she'll have anything more helpful to offer.

      "Who is your mantra?" she repeats, in exactly the same tone and words, like a broken record.

      "That's what I'm trying to figure out," I insist. This is going nowhere. Reaching back with two hands I grasp the edges of a cloth, as though it were a scarf I were wearing around my neck, and draw it over both our heads. Now the two of us are alone in the dark, face to face, with just a bit of the background peeping through under the edges of the cloth behind her. Although I had performed the gesture instinctively, my intention was to blot out the distractions so I could try to communicate with the girl more effectively. A more rational course would have been to find someone else to ask, or ask the dream directly, but I got too caught up in my determination to try to make her understand. My approach was not helpful, however, as this deconstruction of most of the dream environment makes me lose traction and wake up.

      FAs: I had gotten up and was nearly ready for work. I went to use the bathroom before leaving and stood there dumbfounded: everything else looked normal, but the toilet was gone! I recognized immediately what this must mean. "You've got to be freakin' kidding me," I said aloud. Usually I would be delighted to realize I was still dreaming, but this time I already felt like I'd invested a lot of time in getting ready for my day, and now I would have to do it all over again, so I was actually annoyed.

      My lucid awareness must have been pathetically low, because instead of doing something cool with the dream or thinking of one of my many fallback tasks, I stood there until I had successfully conjured the toilet back into place, because I still wanted to use it! Then I noticed that the clarity of the dream was waning and in an attempt to restore focus, told myself: "Open your eyes." But I accidentally opened my real eyes, waking up! It was a fail on so many levels.

      I wanted to get back to the dream state so again I tried to play along with hypnagogic visuals. I had an image of a three medieval-looking riders in a wooded hillside. There was a male, a female, and one other. I was loping after them in the form of a wolf. The scene felt stronger and more stable than the usual hypnagogic imagery, but less tangible than a fully manifested dream. I realized that I instinctively knew the names of the man and the woman. (I suspect the indistinct third was their servant or page.)

      After I had nearly caught up with the riders, I worried that if they noticed me in wolf form they might shoot me with an arrow, so I transformed into a woman (nude, I noticed) and caught their attention. They turned around one exclaimed, "A forest sprite!"

      I "woke up" (I might have even had a vague sense at the time that it was not a real waking, since it still felt too "thin" for a proper dream) and tried to write down their names on my computer. The man's came so easily that it left no trace in memory, but the woman's name took me a lot of effort to type correctly, and I kept making mistakes and having to fix them. On the bright side, this meant that I still remembered it clearly when I woke up for real later. Her name was "Gwynrse," which I took to be Welsh.

    11. Electric Vine

      by , 04-22-2015 at 03:47 PM
      I flew last night over trees with my sister, Maria, and it was exhilarating. I saw someone walking far below, and flew behind leaves so they wouldn’t see because I thought they might wonder how someone is flying, unless the person was Maria. At that, Maria was flying with me, and I said “Flying in dreams is such an important life skill which I had lost. You have no idea how hard it has been.” Then I came to a golden pillar, as of a temple, and held it as if the substance of the temple understood.

      Later, I was walking under a tree that was full of lights. Someone pointed under the tree and said “Your bulb is there.” I hadn’t seen it, but there was indeed a large bulb, which I picked up.

      That last part of the dream reminds me of what Jesus said, “I am the Vine and you are the branches.” The feeling of having fallen from the vine is an anxiousness sensation that I have had at other times in life, but then I remember the other parable, of falling, “Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.”


      When I awoke, I set the dream in verse:

      My bulb had fallen from the vine of lights,
      but I recovered it beneath a tree,
      within a dream realm, after joyful flights,
      when someone pointed out the bulb to me.
      The bulb will do no good, though, in my pocket.
      For it to shine, I have to find the socket.


      I thought of the candlelit mass on the night of Easter vigil, where everyone lit their candle with someone else’s flame, and I recalled the words of a hymn we sang that had made me think of Maria and brought me to tears…

      I will hold the Christ light for you
      in the night-time of your fear;
      I will hold my hand out to you,
      speak the peace you long to hear.

    12. Her Name Was Ramsey

      by , 04-22-2015 at 03:26 PM (Visual Space)
      Her Name Was Ramsey
      It's been a while since I got on here .

      Been busy if a lot of things and had a dry spell recently. However, I have been having vivid dreams of a girl that kept popping up in every dream I had whenever I slept or nap. Slowly I got close to her as if she was a person. Not obsessive or anything crazy, just a very close bond. We did many things such as jump on houses made of moon bounces and have a giant water park where roofs of houses were water slides. This whole time with her, and many nights of fun...I never knew her name. Every time I asked, she will shoot a playful smile and say "you'll see." This particular dream I had last night, finally, was lucid and many things happened...which led to her unfortunate end.

      How it all ended.

      It started with me waking up on a boardwalk. Instantly I became lucid and was very excited but I calmed myself before losing control and clarity. I walked around and it had a pirates of the Caribbean feel to it. Everything was a dark blue hue with orange-lit lanterns all over the boardwalk and was relatively foggy, but nonetheless you can still see far. there was also old looking houses made of what look liked marble and cobblestone. I began to take in the nightly feel and all of a sudden, copious amounts of people began running pass me screaming and shouting excitingly for some reason. Next thing you know I see the dream girl. She runs pass me smiling saying "what ya doing slow poke? come on." I run alongside her towards this big stone mansion everyone was running inside.

      The place was literally a giant wine cellar full of butt loads of wine and kegs of rum (butt load is actually a measurement of rum and wine, who knew? lol)...at least that is what I thought. the dream girl throws it a large wine bottle at me, "drink up" she says. she chugs down hers and I do the same, however the taste was off. It tasted very fruity but powerful at the same time. I put the bottle under a very bright lantern...the liquid inside was iridescent green...the hell did I drink I thought. I asked the dream girl and she responds with a chuckle and walks outside. I follow her for I know she usually shows with actions more than words.

      Next thing you know, she shoots a fiery lightning bolt in the sky. I'm thinking that I just gargled down some elixir. She says, "whatever you think of, it will be your power, that is the power of this wonderful drink." I began to think of lasers and out comes a blue laser out of my finger into the sky. "Cool, isn't it?" she retorts. As cute as she was, I asked what was going on and immediately afterwards an explosion happens in the cellar and rocks the ground. it makes a crevice underneath the girl but I catch her before she falls. she then looks at me and says, "A battle royale is about to ensue to see who will be god."

      We look around us to see powers and fists flying all over the place. I decided to jump in it cause why the hell not. I start taking out many people and soon later becomes me vs the people. The girl then begins to help and zaps people whoever tries to flank me. It was a long and very exciting rush as this was very vivid almost liking waking life, so you can imagine the adrenaline I was getting.

      lasers, pulse beams, gamma rays, you name it, I was doing them all the while the girl conjures up any lightning type there was. we were practically unstoppable. "Nice work, master." she says in a joking manner, which sort caught me off guard. suddenly, this big guy who was strong like Broly from DBZ comes and snatches the girl in my face and flies up in the sky. Immediately I began chase with all the people below me following up as well. I come to face to face with this hulk of a dude and figure out his name was Amarok, who is indeed a god.

      I try to get the girl but he was so quick I could not even get within a few inches before he dashes in all directions. He then punches the girl down to the ground, knocking her out. Amarok charges, at me and me, now enraged, does the same and this big epic battle wages as at the same, we are dealing with the people coming at us. it was extremely chaotic. slowly after, extreme music-Invincible starts playing in the background as I fight this godly man. the girl wakes up and fight's his daughter, who was named Yonah. I finally knock Amarok back to the surface and kick Yonah, before she stabs the girl....Now I have 2 very powerful after me...great.

      After long battles, I crush Amarok's head on the ground, finally defeating him all the while Yonah, tragically, kills the girl right behind me. I literally just watched her stab in the chest with her hands before throwing her at me. I catch her, and the only the girl does, is look at me and smile and says "say you love me, Cause I always did." I say the words, and then black.

      I am now over Yonah's body and still holding the girl. To which I began to cry. Even though this was a dream girl, I had a strong bond with her. she kept popping in my dreams whatever they me, even randoms, and this has been going on for a few weeks up until that point. I wake up and thought the dream was over. Until I saw the door open by itself...false awakening. I walk into my kitchen lit with the lanterns and I see a small piece of paper. "I will never forget your company, and your warm heart ~Ramsey." I then woke up for real.

      It was an awesome but extremely personal dream. I wish I could have save her so she can apart of more of my dreams but I guess it had to happen. When I'm lucid, I usually go along with the dreams as they go and react to everything around me, even though I can for surely control it if I want, but it won't be fun that way. I felt though I should have controlled that part so she wouldn't have died. I went back to sleep to see if I can bring her back but for some reason I couldn't. So sadly, I'm just letting her go. I crazy as this was (and sounds lol) it was the most vivid and insane dream I had yet and I'm pleased to be out of my dry spell.

    14. Take my time DA + OST + 2(DILDS)

      by , 04-22-2015 at 02:34 PM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I found myself inside a forest trying to escape these huge giant humans that kept making attempts to eat me. The scene then changes to father room, however the giants were still there, this also made it even more difficult for me to flee. There were 3 giants, 2 were male though 1 of them were much older, then 1 female. The male giant quickly swayed his arm to my direction for an attempt to snatch me.

      I manage to dodge his grip but his arm brush across my side. I ran out to the living room and unlock the back door to begin running. The female giant came after me first, I could not believe the giants have caught up to me so easily. She then slash my arm with her long finger nails. At this point I notice she was at a human height. That's when the older giant who also appeared shorter but still big enough to be a problem, makes an attempt to grab me while I am on the ground struggling to get up.

      However something stop him from continuing. I didn't knew why but I didn't care, I took the chance to drag myself up the road as quickly as possible. I could tell there was one more coming after me. I could hear the former female giant voice yell for the other male giant to stop. He continues as I turn around to face his direction. At first I place my hands up in a panic for protection. But then it felt like all the feelings I had swap from fear in to a very calm sensation. When this happen the man grabs my hands in a gentle way.

      I then said it work, all of them stop and decided to wlak up the hill. I then realize that I was lucid dreaming and observe where they were going. Before I could follow them I lost lucidity.

      During my non-lucid experience I realize I am in a car tha twas driving on a random road that was not familar to me. I could see from the car window that the sky was going a thunder storm. My family were also inside the vehicle. We then drop my brother off at the middle of the road. As the car then continue to drive I decided to check the sky once again and notice the color was drastically different from before. It had a yellow, red magenetic look almost as if it were pulsing.

      There was also a huge colorful splash drawing somewhere in the sky. I then become lucid and say that none of this is real to my parents. I then lose lucidity. Lucidity Time: 28 seconds.

    15. Recruited

      by , 04-22-2015 at 02:15 PM (My Lucid Dreams)
      I think I might be back here on dreamviews lol. It's really annoying how I just zone in and out of lucid dreaming like that; I suppose it's because the ability to lucid dream is something that is so easy to loose, unlike most other skills. I'm working on that though.
      Anyways not a very lucid lucid dream, nor did I have much control; I'm sharing it because of its awesome storyline. Also I've already had a dream about the guy who recruited me being recruited by assassins himself which makes me want to meet him again in the future.

      L: 4/10
      C: 4/10
      V: 8/10

      I'm in an underground train with my family. Just a few seconds after the dream starts, a squad of superpowered guys flip the train over and in the darkness of the tunnel, massacre its passengers. As I find a somber corner hide in, I notice two killers who stand out: a Gothic looking guy (almost like the monster guy from Death Note)with very long claws (similar to the ones with which I got stabbed in the neck in "that one lucid dream") and another metis guy who looks a lot like a dude who has been recruited as an assassin in a previous dream, except that he now has crack in his skin, with a magma-looking substance peeking through them (symbolizing the fact that he's "deteriorated" since the last dream; he's become evil). From my hideout, I helplessly watch the guys murder every single passenger of the train. The death note guy notices me and calls the lava dude over (seems like the lava dude is their commander). He, the lava guy, notices something about me: I'm a lucid dreamer. I understand that I'm in a dream, and that in those guys are (supposedly) a real life organization of assassins who operate in shared dreams. They recruit me as a member of their organization. With my low lucidity level, I forget that I could very well refuse and reluctantly accept, planning to become stronger among them and eventually overthrow their leader.
      (...)
      Lucidity goes down a lot here.
      We're in my real life gym with the organization and my friend and real life parkour training partner (lol). I have to cover my friend cuz he's not a lucid dreamer and they might kill him. He does, however, have a pretty great ability: he's a very fast runner and a great jumper (he is in real life ). Until he gets his first lucid dream, we will act as though this is his in-dream specialty. I show my telekinetic skills to the leader, levitating small objects and eventually himself. I tell him that if I were to truly put effort into it, I could destroy the whole building like nothing. I think about telling him about my "sage modes" but I realize that I should keep that secret from him. I wake up around there.
