    1. WILD #4: "Swimming Pool"

      by , 08-05-2014 at 05:26 PM (Threecat's Dreamtime)
      Woke up around 6:00 AM, DJed a bit and then MILDed for about five minutes. Drifted off to sleep and had this:

      7:45 AM: Maybe a FA? My wife tells me to not worry about having an LD: "It will happen soon." I am in some broken down, burned up city scape (day residue from watching clips of The Matrix yesterday) fighting colossal enemies that grow out of the ground. I am using one of the pole blasters from the movie Stargate. In the dream, the weapon is given to me by a hermanubis:

      Do you think during a lucid dream?-hermanubis.jpg

      I blast one of the creatures a few times, then point the pole at some lit up squares above me on a burned out building. This activates an elevator. I plan to use the elevator to travel underground and attack the enemy's legs. At some point during this bit, I become aware that I am either dreaming or watching someone else's dream (??? C/R exactly).

      I am running down some hallways. I see an odd-shaped item behind glass used for fires. I cannot tell if it is a fire extinguisher or an oxygen mask. I remove it and spray some gas out. I inhale some of this. It smells quite odd but seems safe enough. Not sure what happens after this.


      After awaking from this, and feeling a bit worn out of trying to MILD, I decide to give myself a friendly auto-suggestion (as I have done in the past) and then practice SSILD. I practice SSILD for a little while. During this time, my wife wakes up and gets ready for work, the construction men are walking all over the roof doing who knows what, and I am just lying there.

      Things seem to calm down though. My wife stops in to say goodbye, and I decide to roll over and sleep. As I roll over though, I decide to give SSILD one last shot. I do the visuals, then the auditory senses, and then come to my body. Here though I decide to just rest (instead of repeating the cycle). I suddenly feel the onset of REM--sort of like rushing sensation, but also a bit like a heaviness. I feel my body starting to slump over. "No, body--do not fall over!" I think--I don't want this to mess up the WILD! But of course, it isn't my waking body, but my dream body, and I begin to feel myself rolling outward in a semi-circle. At this point I realizewhat is going on--we're WILDing!

      When I cease rolling, I have landed in some beautiful master bedroom--not my own!--and slowly get to my feet. I wait for a few moments, in case the dream is not set yet. I then carefully nose pinch. I a little air blockage but not a big deal because I am already sure I am dreaming. I immediately remember my 3-step task and begin to complete the fourth step. However, as I usually use my pocketses to summon items, imagine my dismay when I realize I am in my underwear! I still attempt to summon my phone from my underwear. I reach in, and pull my hand out real fast, saying "phone: be there!" I momentarily see the black outline of the phone in my palm, but then it disappears. I try this a few more times. I finally decide to do some other stuff, since Sensei said the goals for fourth step do not need to be completed in order. Before leaving the master bedroom, however, I decide to take off my underwear (?) as I feel they are useless to me

      I place my hand on the wall of the bedroom, phase it through, and then phase through the entire wall. I then think of what else I wanted to do. I decide to look for StephL. This house is very nice--lots of wood and glass and sculpture and art around, and the floor is marble--and I feel odd shouting. I decide to contact StephL telepathically:

      StephL, I think. StephL! I try a trick. Ah yes, I think, I remember now--I look around a bit and see a cabinet--StephL was definitely in that cabinet! I run over to the cabinet, but as I approach it becomes smaller--too small for anyone to fit inside. I realize it is unlikely she will be in here, but I open the tiny door anyway--empty!

      I continue my rounds. I suddenly feel something bump inside my pocket (wait--pockets! WTF! I thought I was commando! ). Hey, I think--I bet that is my totem! I reach into my pocket and BAM! pull out my f***** totem. Fourth task complete. I am quite pleased as I know I have managed to get some points now. I pass a life-size version of my totem resting on the ground, and squat down in front of it. I feel it in both hands, still quite pleased with myself. I then continue my search.

      I enter another master bedroom. On a very large bed--probably king sized--my wife is sitting, nude, wrapped up in sheets. She is smiling at me. I begin to walk over to her, but then remember I am on a quest. Sorry sweetheart! I turn and walk out of some glass doors into a screened-in pool area. Coming up out of the water is a beautiful, porcelain-skinned girl with long, blonde hair. She looks at me but doesn't seem ready to talk.

      "Are you StephL?" I ask.

      "No," she says. "My name is Katerina : some Russian patronymic that I don't entirely catch. She is treading water, and her mouth goes under the surface while she is talking, so I miss that bit.

      "Can I swim too?" I ask. So much for my quest.

      "Yes," she says, "But I am getting out."

      I jump into the water, come up and then swim over to her. My fingers somehow get tangled in her hair. I pull them away gently, as I do not want to pull her hair. She lets me touch her. She is wearing a full-body, dark teal wet suit. She then says something demeaning to me, or kicks off of me, or something. This gets me kind of riled up

      "I like girls who are a little mean to me," I say.

      She is now climbing out of the pool, but she lingers a minute. "You're lucky I like retards," she says.

      I laugh. "What?"

      "Yeah," she says, "Retards--boys I can be mean to."

      We are now sitting on a ledge, still in the water. I move in close and slide my hands along her waist. She feels nice. I suddenly remember the contest. What was I supposed to be doing? I slide back a bit, because I have thought of a good final task.

      "Do you mind if I try something?" I ask. She shrugs. I quickly and forcefully push my hands out at her, with the intention of using TK to knock her backward into the water. Nothing happens. I try a few more times, and remember how CanisLucidus knocked over a speedboat rather effortlessly. I try doing the motion lazily, not caring. The girl looks bored. Oh well.

      I move in close again.

      And I think that is enough, Dreamviews.

      I will say
      that the dream ended with me feeling like things were destabilizing; I focused a bit on my senses and managed to hold it together a few more moments before I woke up.

    2. A Few Lucid Dreams

      by , 08-05-2014 at 03:40 PM
      When I went to bed I tried to go straight into a lucid dream. I got a few fails until I got one where I was in a city and a giant owl like creature was released. But it only lasted for a few seconds and I snapped out of it. After that I kept trying and feel like I zoned out of it. I can't remember the dream but I know I had one for like a hour I think. I tried again and had a dream where I was semi lucid for a bit but when I woke up I forgot what it was about.

      Invisible person(lucid)

      I appeared on my bed and a invisible person was trying to float me out my house. I screamed but the person managed to pull me to my parents room. So I struggled until I appeared in my room and told my mom to tell it to go away. That's when the thing took over my mom, came up to me, than slapped me in the face and I woke up.

      Detective(Lucid)

      I appeared in a nice building where there were buisiness people around. Apparently someone was wanted for shooting someone but no one knew who. I think I shouted I knew who it was and somehow a guy went flying down the stairs/escalators. I'm not sure if that was my fault but I pointed my small gun to someone and two girls tried to convince me of something in another room. Than I woke up.

      Stairs To God(Lucid)

      I was at a park or in a place where there was grass and nature around. I saw people around than noticed a vivid DC. I tried touching him saying to myself he could be a real dreamer. He was about to enter a bright portal with his friends but he just looked back at me with a straight face. He said something like so what if he was a real dreamer. That's when I appeared on a bed in front of a wide screen TV. The boy asked me why I bother to see if a dreamer is real or not. I don't recall what I said to him though. After that I appeared in a huge place with my nephew. It looked like a survival facility that kept people safe. I went to look at the food they were giving and a guy shouted only 1 red colored pack of sliced bread for each person. I took one and went with my nephew to another part of the facility. We saw people and ladders trying to go way up into the sky or somewhere. Someone told me that they were the stairs to God. I thought it was weird and left the place with my nephew. We found books somewhere and I wanted to check them. But I woke up.

      Invited To A Dinner Party (lucid/Semi Lucid)

      I appeared in a family house where there was lots of people including my family. I knew it was a dream but wanted to go with the dream instead of do my own stuff again.(But I became semi lucid at this part) I walked to my family and a man showed us where to sit. I asked him if he put us in the back cause we weren't rich looking people. (Others were wearing very formal clothes) He told me that wasn't the case but I saw there were seats in the front.So I said "I'm not sitting there!" My mom told me to deal with it but I didn't want to so I left the room. A lady was showing people around and I wanted something to eat. I saw plastic plates on a top shelf and took a few. I asked where I could get food and she showed me into a room. I didn't see any food there so I kept looking, But out of no where she tried to kill me and a few kids there. I became fully lucid than managed to kill her somehow. I left the place and appeared in a house or apartment. I was looking around and saw people doing their own thing around the place. I entered one of the rooms and saw a guy in the room. He was telling me something/ flirting with me. I felt like he was my enemy for some reason though. Everything felt more real than before so I kind of liked it. But the guy started getting closer to me like he wanted to have it with me. I didn't want that but I thought I would trick him to think I wanted it than stab him or get rid of him somehow. But he pulled me close too fast, so I told him, No, I changed my mind. But he got right into me so I screamed. It felt too weird/real, even though I've never done it in real life. He stopped and got up after that confused,nervous and his appearance changed. I thought he was going to cry. He said he didn't understand. I said I didn't know who he was so I didn't want it. He said I was with him in another dream where we were sliding down or something. I said I don't remember that. That's when I noticed a mirror and told him "Wait, let me see how I look." I looked and saw I looked like myself mixed with another person/game like character maybe. The skin texture seemed different,(Like a final fantasy character)I was wearing makeup, my eye color was missing the brown in my hazel eyes and my lips seemed smaller I think. I still thought I looked pretty cool, I don't recall what I was wearing though. I said I looked beautiful and he agreed but I started to get distracted with something in the the room. When he started talking to me, I picked up a broken wood stick thing and tried fixing it for some odd reason. Than I woke up.

    3. (August 5,2014) explosives

      by , 08-05-2014 at 03:36 PM
      August 5th, 2014

      I had a few decent dreams tonight, but im missing some plot details.

      First, I was with a friend i dont know in real life, living in a side by side apartment like complex, like a double resident brick house really. This place was not that great looking, it was more old and worn down. Faded and stained tan carpet, sometimes green carpet, the walls were lined with stained wood, like in small cheap homes in small towns, and dull lighting. I would go back and forth between the houses seeing a few different people but i cant remember much of what i was doing there. It was night. I eventually left with the friend to escape the city i think. Only part about this part i recall is swimming in a brick tunnel with water everywhere and having to find a ladder up and out.

      Another dream i had, a friend and I were playing with explosives, like c4 or something similar, and were blowing up parked vehicles. We were outside at night hiding in grass beside the road, the one i remember most was putting some behind the front tire of a delivery truck and crawling away fast then hearing it explode. There wasn't much more than a few houses around and a few parked cars.

      I was on a bad recall streak but this is good to see, its by no means my best recall, but i remember enough for it to be decent.
    4. 05/08/14 - TWD Type Dream, Vandalize a Caravan

      by , 08-05-2014 at 03:35 PM (Covlad96's Road to Lucid Dreaming)
      Dream 1

      Something about mushrooms in an ice skating rink

      Dream 2

      I was with on of my brothers friends on a road close to my house. He had a job at someones house on this road and he hated the man. He told me that the guy had a caravan and to get him back for what he has done we would rob fruit from his house and smear it on the inside of the caravan. So what we done is he went to the house and the guy wasn't in. His wife was, a kind old lady. She let us get some fruit as it was part of his job. So I went in the backgarden putting the fruit in a bucket. As I was walking out she said she would help us bring some of the fruit to the caravan. He told her it was ok, we got it. So we went to the caravan and he said I could throw the fruit in there. I stood at the doorway and I couldn't do it, not after seeing how nice the old lady was. I told him that I'm not gonna do it. So I watched as he went in and threw fruit all on the inside of the caravan. I felt bad for being with him. Someone from my school lived in a house behind me and he watched. He wasn't impressed and went and told his mum. I was told it was a £260k caravan. After I said he shouldn't of done it, I was trying to justify my wrongs but I knew deep down that it was a bad thing to do. Someone said as long as we're the only 7 people who know its ok. I said 'But he knows!' pointing my finger at the guy from my schools house.

      Dream 3

      Going home from somewhere, get a lift with a friend and his cousin.

      Dream 4

      It was sort of like TWD without the zombies. Everything was deserted and out group was walking through a city looking for some place to stay I think. We found a John Lewis shop and it was huge, I said this will be a great place to stop, but I bet there are already people in here. I stepped up to the door and the doors flew backwards, we walked in and a guy got out the elevator and he gave me some fresh clothes. He also had enough for the rest of our group. He told me that we could not stay here, but it was ok to stay the night. After settling in a bit, I was talking to the leader of the people who lived here at John Lewis', he told me something which I do not recall, and I thought it was morally wrong so I expressed my opinions. He looked at me disappointed and walked off.

      The next day had come and it was time to go. But before we left everyone was congregated in the main hallway as the leader came to speak. He had a piece of paper, he said that we were free to go now but they were going to keep Rick Grimes 1 year old son all because of what I said. I felt SO bad! I looked at a scared Rick and I said to my brother quietly 'I'm going to say I'll leave now'. I was stepping up and a teenager stepped out an elevator and said 'If you're all leaving, I'm joining you, look what this guy has done to me!' He pushed some skin under his eye away and it fell was deeply cut. The leader went crazy, he grabbed an axe and chased us all out the shop. I had a baseball bat as my weapon. He was chasing one of our group and he ran into the shop opposite. In the shop there were 3 aisles, he ran down the one on the right. I ran down the middle, I had timed it so that as he got to the end of the aisle he would turn left and run past my aisle, I could jump ot and whack him over the head. I was running down as fast as I could to time this, at the end I slipped out. He seen me, helpless on the floor he got his axe and slammed it into my left wrist. Wow it was painful. Then as I couldn't move my arm, he slammed it down just below my left kneecap. I thought he was going to hit and shatter my knee. This was also painful. I thought I was going to die then a guy jumped round the corner and tackled him. I decided I was getting out of there. I am not a hero lol. I walked out injured grasping my wrist. I kept looking and I couldn't believe that the cut was so small for how far the axe dug in my arm. The rest of our group was sitting round a table. I limped over, they gasped and asked me what what happened, angrily I said 'Rick's pussy boyfriend!' (This was because back in John Lewis' Rick thought he was a great guy and got along with him well haha)

    5. Hangover Dream

      by , 08-05-2014 at 03:32 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I was at work, but it wasn't the bakery. I don't know exactly what it was I was doing, but I worked with the same people as I do at the bakery. We were all even in our bakery uniforms, down to the aprons and everything. A lady wanted me to help her find the second page to some paper that she needed; she had the first already. She needed it for some event. I went into what reminded me of the freezer, and found the second page in a box. I brought it to her. She was really happy; she thanked me.

      Then, it was getting close to time for me to go to lunch. I remembered looking at a paper schedule that had a block from 12-1 for my lunch. I was still busy doing things though, so lunch may have to come late. Then, Will was there. We were sitting on a couch. I was writing on a piece of paper, and I suddenly realized I was using Will's legs, which he had put up on the coffee table in front of us, as a table to write with. I quickly stopped doing that. Awkward...

      Finally, I left to go to lunch. I still hadn't punched out, however. I found a clock and saw the time was 12:20, but I couldn't clock out because it was just a phone, not a time clock. I kept wandering around, getting distracted, and realizing I needed to punch out for lunch, and not being able to locate a time clock. I was in the car with the lady and the papers and someone else at some point.


      ~

      Definitely a hangover dream; it felt like a fever dream. Drank a little too much yesterday (I don't do that often at all, only once in a very blue moon), but when I do drink, I go all out. And let me tell you...I did. And now I won't do it again for a very, very long time. Sipping on some tea and some water to try to make the headache subside. Good thing I have the whole day off to recover, so maybe I'll have some better (hopefully lucid ) dreams tonight!

    6. What Kind of Resort is This?

      by , 08-05-2014 at 03:01 PM
      There was some dream before this, but I don't quite remember what it was anymore.

      I was preparing to walk down a long beach path towards some building which I was registering as some sort of resort. I was following this guy, AB, who I knew back in high school. He was walking exactly where the land met the water and I was under the impression that that was the only way to get there, but after taking only a single step in the water I slipped and fell and almost got my phone wet. I was a little anxious, but then AB looked back at me and gestured over to the side, where it was clear that you could just walk along the rest of the beach to get there no problem. Oh, silly me.

      There was a small balcony outside two different doors leading into the resort that I could see, and standing on it was this girl with pretty tan skin. She kind of caught me off guard because I could have sworn that upon first glance from the front she appeared to be wearing a green bathing suit with a bikini top, but from the back there was suddenly an extra design that covered the rest of her back from the bikini down, and it was mostly diamonds and ties an looked like a club or bar outfit of some kind. It actually kind of reminded me of the front of Shakira's outfit in the Dare music video, now that I think about it. Honestly I was mainly looking at her because I found her very attractive, but I did notice that she seemed to be shouting some kind of promotion for the resort. I figured they must have just hired her to stand out there and attract customers.

      I decided to walk into the door on my left and ended up at some kind of Earthbound-like store, just lots of mostly female hippie outfits and jewelry and weird stones and the like. My friend N was there and was just kind of browsing, and I just watched him sift through the products for a minute until I saw that they were selling cards for some new trading card game. I don't really remember what the card game was about anymore, but the cards were pretty vividly detailed at the time as I recall. I ended up grabbing just a couple of cards to take with me (I honestly don't remember paying for them at all) and walked out of the store, to a pretty dull hallway with a staircase and some military guy in it. I decided to follow the stairs and see where they took me.

      I end up in a small room with only one table to sit at, and my old friends D, C, and possibly O (most likely, but he never really said anything so it's kind of hard to remember now) were all just there eating some food that appeared to come from a cafeteria. There was another military guy just kind of standing their in the background, kind of watching them I think but just because they happened to be there. They were having a conversation that I could actually hear, but it escapes me now. I ended up chiming in about the trading cards I bought and showing them off because if I have any friends who would appreciate them it would be them, and then the military guy walks over to us. He basically just points to the cards and starts talking about how addictive the card game is, because apparently he's gotten into it (and I think he said it related to how he was really into sci-fi or something). He said he just couldn't stop collecting them. Once he walked away, C and I made a lame but simultaneous (and therefore awesome) "Gotta catch 'em all!" joke.

      I ended up looking down at my cards again for a moment, and then when I looked back up the scene had changed slightly. We were now in what appeared to be a first floor room with a little bit of view outside to an open field, and I'm not sure if the military guy was there anymore. There was also a TV playing to the left of my in the corner of the room, and I was no longer sitting at the same table as the rest of the group, but instead was just one table back. D and C were now having a heated discussion about some faux pas that D had apparently made some time in the recent past that I believe was related to race, and then we all turned to the TV to see an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia playing. Dee happens to make an excuse which relates to the exact situation that D and C are discussion, and D says "There, you see!" as if to solve the argument. However, upon reflection, I think it's actually kind of sad if you have to use something that a character from that show said to justify your actions.

      After that I woke up, at first remembering nothing, but then this all started coming back to me.

    7. Music

      by , 08-05-2014 at 01:50 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      Standing in my kitchen, I start to hear music in my head. Really good drumming and guitar. I'm actually thinking it, but hearing it simultaneously, and enjoying it too. My unconscious mind starts getting fancy with the drumming, and I really like it. I first start to worry that it won't stop, but since it's so good, I'd be okay with that. Then, I worry that it will stop. But it just changes a bit every now and then, sometimes with a drum solo, sometimes a guitar solo. So, I just stand there and enjoy it for a while. I listen to see what instruments I'm playing. Just the drums, electric guitar, and bass guitar, although I don't hear the bass guitar very clearly.

      On the kitchen counter is my laptop, right next to my MP3 player, and the laptop has a bunch of music I lost about 5 years ago that I really enjoyed. Now's my chance to transfer it over! I plug it in, and wake up.

    9. True Love: Unlocked by Water-Bow

      by , 08-05-2014 at 01:33 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      Inside a large indoor pool area, there is an extravagant show being performed with several attractive female divers, all dressed up with large winged costumes, and lots of sparkles, but definitely in just bathing suits underneath the fancy stuff. I sit down next to a glass table, mildly interested in the show, an announcer barely heard in the background. A cardboard box flap pokes me annoyingly in the arm, sort of stuck between my arm and the table. I lift my arm up to free the flap and move the box, just exactly as the announcer asks if there are any volunteers from the audience. He looks right at me as my arm is in the air, and waves me forward.

      Panic stricken, I slowly stand up and wave at everyone. Some assistants escort me to the stage near the pool, below the 8 or so attractive divers. I guess I wasn't really paying attention at all. It turns out that there are other volunteers as well, and we are going to take part in some sort of competition against each other with the help of the women above. One volunteer per diver. We are lead up to their platforms with very little instruction as the announcer excites the audience for what's about to happen. The diver I'm standing with is just about my height, and very tan, like she comes from a country where it's just normal to be very tan. Actually, even more beautiful up close. I try not to get too distracted. Our eyes meet, and we smile at each other. Basically everything she's wearing is sparkling at this point.

      She informs me that we are doing a trick-dive competition, and I am to go just ahead of her, and support her from below the water, while upside down as she stands on my feet. If she weren't so pretty, I would normally hesitate a bit, but don't even think twice. We get the signal, and I jump off the 100 ft tall platform, face first, and dive deep into the pool. Holding my breath, I feel her land gently on my feet, and dance or something, I can't really see. Then she tugs me up to the surface. Relieved, I take a huge breath at the surface as we swim to the edge of the pool.

      Round two is basically the same. Apparently, one team was eliminated that first time, and we are to do that again. This time, my shorts ride up too far for this kind of show, and quickly get everything back inside before exiting the pool. A few more rounds pass like that, with me just thrilled to be with this girl.

      Now, standing atop the platform, I notice we're the only team. It is the final challenge. We must do something difficult to win a worthy prize. I don't really know what to do. I'm lucky enough not to die upon impact when I hit the water, let alone do anything fancy. The girl up there with me just tells me to hold my breath for a while, and she'll do the work up top.

      We jump, and it seems like I'm falling in slow motion this time. I take a huge breath of air, but realize I was a bit too early, so I let it out fast and take another huge breath immediately before I hit the water. For some reason, I am immediately out of breath, despite the huge breath I just took. It's not that big a deal though, just uncomfortable, and I can push through it for some time. It gets more uncomfortable, but still bearable.

      The pressure on my feet from her standing on me is lifted, and I see her dive down next to me. I return right side up, but no longer need to breathe under water. We can talk underwater now as well, but that's just normal. She tells me that we've won, and has a huge smile on her face. She gives me a big hug, and then we both look over at a giant treasure chest that is sinking to the bottom, together with a large ornate crown and a really fancy looking decorative bow. I put the crown on her head and tell her she deserves it because she did all the work. It makes her look even more beautiful.

      Picking up the bow, I draw it back to full power and tell her something about it being a really cool bow. Probably endows the user with some sort of power or something like that. A look of terror quickly comes over her face as she reaches out to stop me from dry firing it (wet firing it?), yelling something like it's going to kill me. But too late, I let go of the cord, and the two of us watch the pressure wave float toward the treasure chest. It hits it, and breaks the lock open. That wasn't supposed to be able to happen That treasure chest was magically sealed, and only certain people were to be able to open it. Plus, the bow was cursed, and was supposed to harm the user. I wasn't even aiming at the treasure chest at all, I was more focused on showing off the bow than anything.

      Inside this treasure chest, amidst the gold lining, and shiny gold plated walls of the box, all glowing radiantly, is true love. Sweet, I've found true love! I look over at the girl, and kind of doubt it's her. She's not really my type, but what the hell, if it's true love, that's good enough for me. We hug again and look into each others' eyes, still speechless in amazement of what just happened.
    10. Bat-Man (more literal than you might think)

      by , 08-05-2014 at 01:00 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      Spoiler for Random Intro:


      On the other side of the fence, I am face to face with a giant bat. At least I think it's a bat. Looking right at me, drooling profusely, a nasty looking orange drool. It has small flexible fangs. It also has a very powerful venom. Not very good. Biting onto my arm, I feel that none of the fangs pierces my flesh, but I don't want to take any chances, so I wrestle it away, pushing its porcelain smooth beak away. Now holding it back by the beak, we stare at each other, both still pushing at the other. The beak is so smooth, I actually rather enjoy touching it. Kind of cold to the touch as well, and very colorful with swirls of reds, browns, and oranges all throughout the beak.



      The animal's owner comes by, and pulls him back by the shoulders. She tells me, "He's just hungry, sorry about that" Being sort of like a bat, I assume he eats bugs, so I tell them to hang on for a bit, while I find some food for him inside my house. There are no bugs... I go downstairs and ask my room mate if he has any bugs.

      "Of course I do buddy, here ya go." and he hands me a plastic bin. 'Great! Now I can feed this thing.' I dash upstairs, but looking inside the bin I just see a loaded gun, some batteries, loose change, a few lint balls, and random other odds and ends. I take all the bullets out of the gun and toss them separately into the bin, then ditch the gun as well. 'There's gotta be bugs around here somewhere'

      I go outside, and find a large group of rather juicy looking bugs on the window sill. They all look dead, but still meaty. I pick one up by the wings, a large green bug, and it starts to wiggle around a bit. 'Not quite dead yet!' so I put it back down on the window's edge. The rest of the bugs all have rigor mortis, so I know they are dead. I pile them all into my left hand and go back over to the bat creature. Somewhat human, but definitely more animal than person. I hold out my hand and he ravenously slurps them into his beak and chews them for a bit before swallowing them, followed by more drool around the edges of his beak. Quite gross.

      Seeing where I got the bugs from, he walks over and looks for more. Seeing the one I left behind because it was still alive, he goes in to eat it. I pray that the bug either is spared death, or dies well, whatever is meant to be... To my surprise, the previously lifeless but twitching bug now flies off, just out of reach of the bat creature, then shoots rapidly into the sky at what I assume is maximum bug speed.

      I help the bat-man (more bat than man) find more dead bugs to eat. Mostly dead moths that are stuck to loose boards on the side of the house, or in abandoned spider webs. The creature eats more of the wood than the bugs, just chewing on it, as he holds it like an ear of corn.

      Walking back to the front yard, his friend/caretaker person tells him it costs too much to feed him and he has to make some money himself if this is going to work. Bat-guy sits down on a bench looking rather dejected, as he stares down at his feet with his hands in his lap. I go up to him, pat him on the back and encourage him, "You'll be able to do something to make money, don't worry."

      He looks up to me as if saying, "Like what?" but with just his eyes.

      I answer, "You could always give massages to people" and we both start laughing. I see a smile return to his beak and hope in his eyes. "I didn't know you could understand me" I say, amidst more laughter, just thinking about this bat-guy giving people massages... He nods understandingly.

    12. Competition Entry # 9

      by , 08-05-2014 at 12:40 PM


      Not that I gathered many points - but I gathered lucid time, for my meagre standards quite a lot of time, even.
      Did a WBTB, but again a short one, and not like planned...

      LD #1: I was standing in the atrium of a house, maybe 3 stories high, looked like an office-building, I don't know how I got there. But looking down the hall - it just simply struck me, that it was a dream. Forgot to RC, but did that later on. What was on my mind first, was that Maxis had lucid dared me to die and survive it like a proper cat should be able to do. But what I did first wasn't trying something fancy, nor going after my 5 senses, since I ended up in the void by interrupting what I was doing before and especially upon lacking input from a sense, I search. So I slowly walked out of the building, as if nothing had happened. And that was a good idea, when I came out, the dream had nicely stabilized.

      The idea had been to transform into a cat and then let myself get hit by a lightning strike. Somehow I had the feeling that I'm not up to full transformation, didn't dare try - and since I could also die and survive something as a human - I started weather-witching instead and conjured up rain and storm and darkness - but lightning eluded me. I was a bit afraid then if I'd get anything done and went flying - by jumping from a high cliff into something like a canyon. The plan was my 3-stepper super flight, into which I wanted to switch while in the sky, and maybe catch a deadly lightning strike under way. But - soo stupid - I suddenly had such an urge for the toilet, that it disturbed my air-swimming. Soo - what now, I think in mid-flight, and wanting to get something out of this LD in the last seconds, I grab my right eye, see if I can rip it out for the TOTM. Well I do - but not really - it stays on it's optic nerve, I get it out maybe 20 cm and then it bounces back in. No pain - no spectacular visual effects, either - but it feels slimy. Now reading back - I should have examined it further - what I can say, is that I saw it with my other eye, as a dark ball. Before I could go on and land somewhere and maybe cut it off with something, I felt I had to go so urgently, I woke myself up. And of course - nope - I didn't need a toilet irl - this happened several times before. Need to remember that once and for all - maybe stop moving my dream-body or just letting it go...


      Dream #1: It's back - the old house. This time, though, it had been ripped down except for a small part, and all the place around it had been sold and integrated into city-buildings on one side, on the other was some garden left. I was very happy to be there, to know it exists, but later on I found out that even that last bastion had been sold, and there was a party with the new owners moving in suddenly appearing in my and a friend's living there. We were just living there, and they came in all dressed fancily and with champagne glasses, we had to first find out what they wanted, I couldn't believe it nor accept it, but I had to in the end...

      Fragment #1: A woman stands at a table and wants to demonstrate something, takes her fingers and does as if it was a touch-screen and she would make the picture bigger. It screeched like hell, but that supposedly belonged to the new technology, where you could use anything as a monitor.

      I guess I know exactly where this is coming from - Sivason and the wet oil painting thing, which I mentioned yesterday...

      Fragment #2: Washing dishes...

      Fragment #3: A kid with a sick guinea pig, and I don't want to check it, because I'm afraid it bites, looking somewhat sinister

      Fragment #4: In a coffee shop, looking at the lots of cakes


      Again didn't dictate something - hence the fragmentation...
      And I try to keep that up - just pretending nothing would have happened upon lucidity, taking it slowly - that was good.

    13. Three dreams, recall steadily improving

      by , 08-05-2014 at 11:42 AM
      First Dream

      My dad and I were in some kind of shop and he for some reason wanted to buy loads of scrap metal. I was there presumably to help him carry everything. The shopkeeper was in his sixties, was quite small and had round glasses and was almost bald. Upon hearing my dad's request, he moved around the shop and threw down at our feet random metal things that were on the shelves or walls. Among them there were a few old swords and a few metal rods, and they all amounted to an impressive heap of metal. We left the heap for a moment to talk to the shopkeeper about the price, but when we turned back around, all the metal was gone. My dad told the shopkeeper this, who said he wasn't surprised at all and it didn't seem like it bothered him much that someone stole so much stuff from his shop. Instead, he went around the shop again, this time making a smaller pile out of these rectangular, iron plates which were about 30cm by 15cm and had text engraved on them.
      I noticed a deck of cards without its packaging on the floor and went to pick it up. They had the same back design as the blue version of Waddingtons Number 1's but when I looked through them, they all had pictures to do with 16th, 17th and 18th century Poland. The King of Spades was a nobleman on a horse, visibly charging.
      I remember seeing other decks of cards, but can't remember them. One had a really interesting, red back pattern though.

      Second Dream

      I was going up the stairs of a rectangular building, might have been a school. I was following this youngish guy who I suspected of being up to no good. I felt I was some heir to being king of the world or something like that, and I felt that this guy wanted the crown for himself. He went up to the top floor and so did I, noticing along the way that I was being followed by I think one of the teachers from my old school. I asked what he was doing and he said that he was faithful to my rule and he was going to help me look for the guy on the top floor, seeing as the guy disappeared somewhere.
      I went into lots of rooms along the top corridor and carefully looked around corners, afraid that the guy would jump on me and try to kill me. Finally I came to this one room which had a layout similar to my bedroom in my house, and I noticed the curtains were drawn, so I walked up to them and pulled the right curtain back slightly. I saw the edge of the guy's black coat and also the tips of his boots, and I looked to my right at my friend.
      And I saw that he was holding the curtain so I wouldn't be able to pull it back anymore, and he had this expression on his face that seemed to suggest I shouldn't have seen what I did. I tried to pull back the curtain more while looking at my guy, at which point he punched me on the lower right side of my ribcage and I let go of the curtain. It hurt a hell of a lot. He pushed me into a chair and sat opposite, while my rival came down from the window and also sat opposite.
      It turned out the guy who was helping me was actually trying to make sure I don't find the guy, and also broke one of my ribs, because every movement I made resulted in a lot of pain. So I just sat there while they explained how they were going to crown the guy and how I couldn't interfere. In the end they offered me a cup of red, transparent liquid that was supposed be an anaesthetic, so I drank it. And dropped off to sleep, ending the dream there.

      Third Dream

      I was driving a Fiat 126p around my neighbourhood, except it was a weird version which you could shrink and enlarge as you pleased with one of those levers you'd find under an office spinny chair, except it was under the front seat of the car. To make it work you had this piece of hooked metal that you had to hook onto a central line in front of you, which was kind of the ignition system. There was only one pedal - the brake, and the speed was controlled with this knob. I drove around for a while, at one point I remember driving it while on the roof of the car, and at one point I shrank it so much that it was undriveable because the ignition metal piece was too close to the ground and it kept jamming against it, because for some reason the floor of the car disappeared.
      But on my road, I enlarged the car again into a driveable size and put the ignition metal thing on, and drove forward. I suddenly had my dad on the back seats, scrutinizing my driving. There was a black woman crossing the road in front of me and I went right, wanting to go around her, but I evidently miscalculated something and hit her. She screamed and ran to my neighbours' house, so a few metres on I braked and ran out of my car, apologising profusely, but then she came out of the back of my car and it was okay. I have no idea how she got back there, but I tried to go back into the driving seat which was now occupied by my dad, smiling smugly as if to say, "LOL you can't drive". I turned from him and went home, followed by him in the car. When we got home, there was two DC's representing my sister. I asked why and someone explained to me that she went to this secret CIA base and they have this device which makes a clone of all their visitors and puts them where they should be while the real person does whatever they went to do at the base. This is so that a person has an alibi in case they're being tailed or something.
      I remember us wondering when the clone will disappear and which one the clone is, while both of my sisters were as confused as us.

    14. 00:00 Tuesday 2014-08-05 competition #18, night #9, picking flowers, space video game

      by , 08-05-2014 at 09:03 AM
      Stayed up late watching "The Purge" movies

      00:00 Tuesday 2014-08-05

      02:00 bedtime

      no wbtb, no middle of the night recording, but I did wake during the night for recall, the dreams came in across 2-3 wakings and I managed to remember at least some of them, there were more but they degenerated into fragments or I forgot them entirely

      10:30

      + playing space video game, frag ship following close with phasers. The screen fills my vision, there are lots of ship on screen I'm firing torpedoes and trying to detonate enemy torpedoes, I'm changing course drastically and setting full speed to dodge. I'm not sure what team I'm on (orion or klingon?) but figure later I'm klingon, I see a romulan ship at one point and maybe a federation. At one point I have a fed ship close on my tail I'm moving from left to right, he's right on my tail not quite at 9 o-clock but close enough, I fire several phaser bursts straight to the left and he disappears, I guess I got him.

      + in a prison/hospital, one guy wants to move to the special room. I'm walking/talking with one patient (young male short blonde hair) he wants to go to the room. It's behind bars, the room is large-ish but I'm warning him if he goes in there he'll be spending his entire sentence in there.

      +(f) wife is at checkout counter

      +(f) downtown B, lots of gourmet restaurants, but they're empty and advertising for chefs

      + in old house, we only have room for the A family or someone else, walking around over sleeping guests. The A's could stay in a hotel, but could also stay with us, there's someone else who wants to stay with us.

      + picking flowers at the childhood playground. I start at the middle level where the clubhouse was, I want to pick flowers for a girl I like, I'm holding a large-ish tall crystal vase in my left hand, I pick a few flowers but they're too short and they fall down inside. I'm looking at one flower that looks like a black tulip with a green stem sticking up out of the flower. Starting to walk down to the lower/basketball level, someone with me stops to lean over the clubhouse railing to take a drink from the drinking fountain. I put down the crystal vase and it almost falls over, I catch it before it does and steady it. Down on the lower level I decide I want some white daisy flowers, I see them growing on the hillside between the levels, I walk over to the hill and jump up on two concrete benches near the hillside and jump onto the hill. I'm picking one daisy flower, I'm trying to reach down all the way to its base so that I get a long enough stem so that the flower will come out of the top of the vase and not just fall down inside. I'm a bit concerned about bugs as I reach down into the clump of green plant stuff where the stem emerges from. I pick several flowers. Some flowers come wrapped in brown paper wrapping with clear plastic windows like rolls from the bakery, one flower is a double-headed flower. I see that my wife has brought the procession of people down to this level so I don't have to climb back up.

    15. Competition night #9

      by , 08-05-2014 at 08:57 AM
      Lucid dream:
      After I tried a WILD, but probably after a lapse in consciousness, I start visualising a street full of people (a scenario I have been incubating because several goals involve DCs)

      There are lots of people walking in the same direction as me as I fly a couple of feet above the ground (a favourite way of getting around in a dream - helpfully reminding me that it *is* a dream!) and a few going the other way. I try to look at people's faces to see if I recognise anyone, but nobody looks familiar.

      The street is familiar and I think it might be Dogpole in Shrewsbury (where I grew up) I nearly get distracted worrying too much about where the street goes, but realise that having a street in mind is handy because I can just let my subconscious follow the route and I don't need to think to much about generating more scenery. As I turn down the hill I realise that the street has become enclosed like a giant corridor in a shopping centre or the like. The sides of the street / corridor are a combination of shop fronts, redbrick buildings, and rich oak panelling. The ground changes from tarmac to satin finish white tiles.

      Heading down the hill, I realise almost all the people I see are heading in the same direction as me which isn't very convenient because not setting their faces turns them into "traffic" rather than "people". I turn left at a junction at the bottom of the hill (I should have just stopped at the junction, but hey) thinking that I might see more faces heading that way, but my subconscious pulls a fast one on me and I turn into a large room that feels a lot like a swimming pool changing room.

      My lucidity drops somewhat at this scene change, but I'm still just about lucid. I start faffing around with taking off my suit (apparently I'm wearing an expensive suit) carefully folding it and trying to lie it on a bench where it won't get wet. I notice a female DC who seems to want me to "interact" with her, so I oblige. My lucidity / dream recall fades out completely here.

      NLD:
      I'm in my suit from the previous dream, but I have been awake in between. I'm at Armoury Gardens (childhood home) getting ready for work, mum is there explaining why I'm in a suit to Sandeep (my boss's boss) and the explanation involves staying overnight at a relative's house but I don't remember the details. Alice (my sister) has a rather awesome electric violin in a nice case that seems to be designed for two. She talks about getting a chin rest for it, as the case has spare space.

      There was more to this dream but it's very vague, I remember a spiral staircase and some gizmo or other but not even really enough to call a fragment
