Long dream! I think that in all this dream may have gone for about 30 minutes. It's got me excited about the Great Pyramid Task of the Year again! Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid Lucid #139: Kunoichi I have a false awakening in some kind of luxury hotel suite, feeling frustrated that I failed to have a lucid dream. All of the lights are on, and a digital clock on the kitchen counter tells me that it's 4:45 AM. Okay, I still have a little time left to have a lucid dream. Suddenly I realize that Wife isn't here and I panic. I have a false memory that she went out just as I was going to sleep and I start freaking out that something has happened to her. Two men walk into the suite from the adjoining balcony and I run at them, demanding that they tell me where she is. They look bemused by the intensity of my reaction and I wonder whether this could all be a dream. I try the nose pinch reality check and become lucid. Ignoring these two random guys, I phase through a glass door out to the balcony. Rather than go leaping off, I float up a few feet first (just to be safe) before flying out into the early morning sky. I'm about 80 feet up, and I swoop down toward a park that I see below me, landing near a tree. I notice that the tree looks amusingly pixellated and I remember my goal of trying to maximize dream vividness. I focus on drawing out the detail of the tree, feeling its bark and studying its needles until it becomes extremely vivid. I follow a dirt path toward a mall, scooping up a handful of reddish dirt and (for some reason) popping it into my mouth. (It tastes about like you'd expect.) At this point, there's a long segment of the dream where my memory gets a little hazy, but I recall that it was fairly long, involved me travelling through a shopping mall and flying around a bit between levels. I remember flying close by a harried-looking mom struggling to manage a pair of kids and a pair of shopping bags, a bright central area, and at one point a black guy in a purple dress shirt gives me a thumbs up when I fly by. Finally I leave the mall through an emergency exit and emerge in an alley. A man slouches lazily against the wall and farther away a dark-haired teenage girl is sitting on a stack of shipping palettes. I look at each of them in turn and they immediately return my gaze. I'm struck by the subtlety in the way their faces move, blink, and shift so realistically. As I'm deciding which way to go down this alley, I remember the Africa Task of the year (fix the Great Sphinx then ride her to the top of the Great Pyramid.) I decide that the Great Pyramid is just at the end of the alley, imagine it in detail, then turn around with the image still firmly in my end. I'm shocked by how well this works. I walk out of the alley onto a windy landscape of sand dunes. In the distance I see an enormous version of the Great Pyramid dominating the horizon, probably four times larger than the real thing. Dark storm clouds roll violently above the Pyramid. At the top of the Pyramid, the wind is so strong that I see stones rolling off of the top and tumbling down the side. I run over the dunes toward the Pyramid and as I get closer I see not just one Great Sphinx but probably a dozen of them scattered near the Pyramid's base. Some of them are in a horrible state of disrepair, but this doesn't worry me. If I can fix her nose, I can fix everything else too. As I'm approaching the top of one dune, a pair of female ninja dressed in red appear and come racing toward me, each wielding a pair of sai. The first one leaps at me and I force-push her to the side so that she flies past me. The second I force-push directly forward and she flops onto her back on the dune. I walk past her and I watch over my shoulder as the two of them regroup for another attack. I hold out my hands toward them and jokingly say "Now kiss!" They glare at me like I'm a huge pervert and I feel a little embarrassed. (This is a nerdy reference to this meme.) One ninja gives the other a quick peck on the cheek and then they return to glaring at me. I say something about how I was only joking and that I drank a lot of peppermint tea before bed, and as I'm going on and on explaining myself, the two ninja start making out. I realize that all my blah blah blah is only making things worse and I'm feeling sexy and distracted. I turn back toward the Pyramid but the landscape doesn't seem stable anymore. I wind up in the void. I rub my hands together to stay locked in and start feeling the floor, trying to turn the ground back into sand so I can return to the Pyramid. I go at this for a good while. After roughly a full minute, the floor starts feeling like carpeting and I emerge in what looks like a dormitory. I walk out into a nearby hall and run into a college friend that I've lost touch with (and is notorious for being hard to reach.) I ask him how he's been and he gives me an email address (!) and promises to respond if I email him at that address. I make him repeat the promise (which amuses him) and bid him goodbye before phasing through a glass door to a second-floor walkway. My father-in-law is standing nearby with a few elderly Asian men and women. I jump onto the railing and start pulling myself onto the awning when I feel hands grasping at my legs and shouts of "You'll hurt yourself!" and "Are you crazy?" They pull me back down to the balcony and my father-in-law starts explaining to the other DCs that I'm "special". I fly down the walkway to provide a visual aid and the DCs react by speaking in astonished Mandarin. I think about how amazingly realistic this Mandarin sounds but then think, oh yeah... of course it sounds realistic to me. It's what I think Mandarin sounds like. I fly off of the walkway, landing in front of an entrance to the same mall I was at earlier. I decide to retrace my steps through the mall, and I pass through a store that sells little pet sweaters for tiny dogs. Little sweater-clad dogs roam everywhere. I exit the store and it isn't long before I have a false awakening back in the same dorm room, no longer lucid. I walk outside to find that it's daylight out. NewArtemis and her husband are standing nearby. We say hey, not at all surprised to see one another. Art lays down on the sidewalk, still participating in the conversation but also trying to sleep by curling up with this big canvas bookbag she's holding. I tell Art and her husband about the dream I just had, mentioning that I went through a store "that sells sweaters for those little yappy dogs". Immediately a little white yappy dog comes crawling out of Art's book bag, dressed in a green sweater. "Seriously?" I say, feeling like a jerk. "I'm sorry." She laughs and says it's cool. Art seems to kind of fall asleep and I talk with her husband for a while about dogs, telling him they did the right thing by not getting huge, crazy dogs like us. I look down and notice that Art's hair has changed and become really curly and sort of red. It seems weird to me but since her husband doesn't say anything, I figure this is normal. He and I talk about other random stuff for a while until the dream ends.

I dreamed that I went to Animal Kingdom with my mom and a few of my friends from my gatherings where from the hotel we went to the park and got there a bit late then I went to a water ride like type of a lazy river type which I went with my friend on dont remember which one then once the turn came the entire scenery changed to a type of bounce house but not really filled the air just the scenario seem to give that impression and there was this loud noise which most likely was the static from from radio which suppose to give me lucidity but forgot to do RCs which I am working on daily. After the the room filled with noise I was trying to speak with the dream park operator of the ride but all I almost deaf and could only heard like a type of screech in my ear and the operator was dark skinned male who was about 6'3 and looked like he was on drugs then after I left with one of my friends christian to go to the jurassic theme area where I really wanted to go at least to see the dinosuars which really interested me but then the park was closing down so we had to run from one side to the other which meant crossing this dirt road like the ones usually seen in schools when going from the actually school to the P.E. area. once at that side one of my friends from my gatherings whose name is Chris was evacuating the area since he was in charged of closing down a certain area which I was located in at the time then I ignore him and kept going which then he came to me furious and in a demanding voice he told me that I had to pay attention for my own good and take responsibility for my actions so then I just started walking to the exit of the theme park which I got lost once and ended going up some stair steps which the security guards of the meeting were located including Chris and when I noticed that I just walked away and left the door sort of closed but not shut. After that I went down the stairs and made a big loop from where I came from the dirt road and saw 3 bears laying on the side walk and hearing a voice of a dark skinned woman in the background saying that 2 of them were killed which then I assumed the 3rd one was alive and seem to be the baby or son of the other 2 bears. After I reached the dirt road I remember passing by one more bear which also heard from the dark skinned womans voice saying that it was also dead and the cause of fatality was because it got hit by a baseball because the park was surrounded by baseball fields and that other fatalities have also happened before.
Back dreaming but only grabbed one dream fragment last night. I've received the beetroot extract tablets but not taken enough yet to see a result one way or the other. Each 700mg tablet contains the equivalent of 3500mg of dried beetroot...am I in danger of turning into Violet Beauregarde? The dream raises the old chestnut again...who or what controls our dreams? I'm in some sort of fairly broken-down industrial complex (DS) I'm out somewhere on my own and I have bare feet...and I'm in near darkness. I'm assuming that the unconscious is as bad as creating feet as it is creating hands...so who or what combined bare feet with the inability to see them? But, there are deeper issues. I've been trying ADA and I'm slowly getting there. So I'm fairly aware of how my feet feel, in shoes and out of shoes. I think I was barefoot on shingley/pebbly ground, but I was unable to register the fact that I felt nothing was not how it should have been. So...on the one hand giving me bare feet but cloaking them in darkness...and on the other hand the creation of rough ground that might have rung alarm bells (but didn't) Finally...this is the 3rd dream I've had where I'm lost and trying to get back somewhere. Is that a metaphor for my attempts to become lucid but not yet finding a way?
Last night i was with my friends and we where hanging out in the dream space it was great and then they said something about lucid dreaming and they started to question wether or not you could really fly i said of course you can and i took off flying and hovering right over them and they said but what happens if you fall wont you hurt yourself i said no watch and i flew up 100ft and dropped down safely i remember one of them saying that it was like flying in minecraft i said yea just like that. they then started to fly with me and we just played around it was great. Although i should have been lucid during this dream i did not become lucid only passively active in the dream.
Dream 1 :[COLOR="#800080"]I was in a hospital room with 2 nurses that were waiting to give me an injection(For lungs or something). I was very scared by it and I kept asking a lot of people if it hurts.I eventually got to mom and asked her if it hurts she said it won't hurt and then she did an example on herself.She did an injection on her wrist and I somehow gained courage from that.I went back to the room and I told them I'm ready to take that injection.She said okay(The injection had some bloody red substance in it). I expected her to do it in my wrist but instead of the wrist she pushed the needle in my shoulder.Then I felt the substance in my back(It was cold) and then moving from my back to my chest .[/COLOR] Dream 2 : [COLOR="#800080"] I was in my room and it was dark.I had some kind of wand in my hand.I wasn't alone but with 2 friends.We were trying to fight some kind of monster and in those wands we needed energy that could be taken from basically,everything.We wanted to attack him with the wand but he kept taking the energy(I somehow knew that would happen) and I kept touching a lot of things and my wand gained energy from those things.While me and my friend were fighting,the other one was hiding under the couch with a wand(He wasn't a human but some kind of green creature :/).It got light outside,and then my friends were leaving and I put my telephone to charge.[/COLOR]
non lucid *I asked the dalai lama please give me some dzogchen teachings I might never get this opportunity again. He sat me down and said something like when your in the state of rigpa wisdom you are naturally nice to other people. *Hanging out with a friend by the name of max. He was getting hundreds of quarters for a unknown reason. *Some dude was saying that flan in France is a lot better then what you can get here. He said you put the flan on a cone in France. My girlfriend commented at him but he blow her off. So I made fun of how big his head was to piss him off.
Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Dream 1(fragments): There was something about some concert. Dream 2(fragments): I was busy with something and got distracted. Then as i am walking through my room i feel that i am dreaming, but dream fades out shortly. Dream 3: I was at home and it was time for a nap. As i was trying to nap, developer of some game and some interviewer decided to start recording an interview in my room. As they were recording it i was still trying to fall asleep, then various stuff started getting dumped onto bed, like some magazines and weapon parts. Wait a second... I get up and look at my hands and they are kinda weird, yeah this is dream, i attempt to make my way to the window to fly out, but dream starts fading, i manage to keep it with my will for a few seconds but then it fades out entirely.

I was in the bank to get my new debit card. Someone I knew was standing next to me. The guy behind the counter asked the person next to me to get in line. He then asked me what I needed. I told him I'm here to get my card. He told me to come over and give him the paper work. I did and got the card.
Almost got the advanced task again. I had become lucid earlier as I was being shot at a convenience store. The guy pulled a gun, I stripped it away from him using TK. He pulled another. I walked straight up to him and with obvious fury, commanded him to shoot me (I hate being shot more than anything else in my dreams). He did, it did nothing but hurt. He pissed himself, I shot him in the arm so he couldn't shoot anyone else and walked out. Something was going on in the parking lot, people were divided into teams. I didn't want to participate and while thinking about what I wanted to do next, remembered the task of the month. I was going to hell. I found a little trailer at the edge of the lot, opened it up and saw a spiraling hole downward. It was a tight fit at first, until I remembered that it was supposed to be easier to get to hell and it opened up wider. Once there, I met a small little demon who showed me around a bit. He took me along the safer routes. I specifically remember him saying that they didn't get many visitors, to which I responded that I had been there several times before. My recall of the details here are a bit fuzzy. I remember walking through a field of mushrooms that looked like severed human toes. I remember thinking that I shouldn't eat or drink anything from the underworld or else I would be trapped there. I also remember walking past several demons chained up but most were free roaming. I asked if we were going to get to see the devil, to which my guide responded "he's kind of a trouble maker, you don't really want to meet him." but then there he was around the corner. He was very tall, at least 13 feet. His skin looked like glowing embers and he had two great horns. I ditched the guide and began to follow the devil along a path that was obviously not safe. It wasn't even a path, he just sort of went wherever he wanted. The devil didn't say anything but looked impressed as I walked over hot coals, through burning walls of fire, and even stepped directly on greater demons of fire who wrestled against their chains in protest. It wasn't until I stepped on a demon of ice that I showed any discomfort. At that point, the devil handed me a red hot brand which I could tap against my feet, the heat of which would linger while I walked through the ice. We had walked for a ways before I remembered that there was something else I had to do... then my alarm went off. No beer. Sakamoto Kyu, you keep interrupting my quality time with the devil. Grrrr. So close!
Okay so thanks to manuals and lurking here, last night I accomplished my first lucid dream! At around 10:00 I went to bed and started my WILD attempt. I had heard it was better for beginners to use this technique. Deep down I was always a bit skeptical about lucid dreaming. What if it didn't work? What if I just fell asleep? But as I lay there the minutes went by and I started to notice the hypnagogia I'd bee reading so much about. I tried to remain calm and let it take me away. I was in the middle of a giant field. The sky was blue with light black wisps of cloud suspended in the air. Being in a dream, I thought, seemed like a more serene place to me. The cares of the physical world simply didn't apply. At this point, the excitement of being in a dream world took over me and I'm pretty sure what I was feeling was being lifted out of the dream! I remembered what I had read here: spin in circles and stabilize yourself. I did both and stomped my feet on the ground to feel the earth beneath my feet. Settled down, I noticed a gray barn house in the far end of the field. I walked toward it. I noticed a huge red balloon rise from the back of the barn and was - I admit - pretty scared. I watched as it rose and then eventually evaporated. I could feel the moisture fall on me from up in the sky. I looked again at the barn and it was now at the bottom of a steep hill. I jumped down it and landed at the front door. I knocked on the door and a man answered. He looked like a classic farm old guy with overalls, a pitchfork, and a straw hat. I asked him about the balloon and he told me to come in. He then sort of contorted and rose off the ground just a couple feet. So this crumpled old man rose a few feet off the ground and floated to the next room. I was fucking scared out of my mind, sitting on his couch holding a glass of water that I didn't even remember accepting. I went to the kitchen to look for him and he was gone. At this point I suppose my brain had had enough with me for one night. I awoke and immediately recorded it. Hope you liked it!
8/28/2013, 11:00-6:00 I had no dreams I remember in the beginning of the night. I woke up at around 3 and after that, I fell asleep and remembered some dreams: Dream 1: A South Park episode. Butters was being a detective with sunglasses and a cool black jacket. In the beginning, he also did some cool things to put them on. Sort of like the thing the Matrix people wore when they were going to take over the tower from the suit guys. (Love that scene ) So Butters went on his way, and he eventually found a real criminal. There was also an adult real special agent in the exact same outfit on the case, though. Butters in the end caught the bad guy, and him and the adult special agent were in a warehouse, where Jesus appeared out of thin air! He then gave a speech about why the bad guy did it and then said "You'll always be my special agent." The adult one asked "Me?", but Jesus said, "No, Butters." Butters was smiling and happy that Jesus said that. This is what Butters' costume looked like. Dream 2: This is more of a continuation of the last dream. Butters was doing more special agent stuff. He went after a new bad guy, but in a different uniform. He looked more like a cop this time, with beige shorts, beige shirt, sunglasses, and a star on the shirt. Another guy in the exact same uniform (adult, and an actual special agent, if you wouldn't have guessed) was already on the case. The exact same thing happened. Butters caught the criminal, and Jesus at the end said the exact same lines. Only this time, the background was an apartment building hallway. It was white-ish in color, and had a few lights. This is what Butters looked like this time. Dream 3: Spongebob was in a cage with a child. Some people were trying to see how well he would treat the child. There was a chart that had a bunch of categories to the right side of the "camera" (third person dream). So the people said to Spongebob to start, and Spongebob started BEATING up the kid. He bitch slapped him and then started punching him for no reason. He might have kicked him a few times. The thing to the right of the camera was going wild. It first said easy in green, then tough in orange, and so on every time he hit the poor kid. Spongebob was also screaming something to the kid every time he hit the kid. In the end, I remember him screaming "Emanstitution!". Whatever that means, I don't know. When he was done, he asked "How'd I do?". The person in the room said, "Look what I drew," And left. He apparently drew some messed up smiley faces with their mouths in spirals around their faces. They kind of looked like this: There was also a few triangles in the categories. That's about the dream. Some other stuff might have happened afterwards, but I forgot it.
I was texting my friend on my phone and he asked "Are you alright?" I responded with "Y-yes im fine" Thats all i can remember
this last two days i haven't been able to remember my dreams. I haven't sleep well. I have to much things to do and i been using my computer too much. I just found that been in front of the computer before going to sleep weakens your ability to fall sleep fast and prevents your REM so you don't get to remember your dream. Today i will stop using my lap at least two hours before going to sleep.
Need to fix my schedule /again/. Dream 1(fragments): I was watching/was in some anime where events were happening in some forest/mountainous area, characters were getting new powers. Dream 2(fragments): I was in some arsenal/vehicle storage area or something. Dream 3(fragments): I was at the school apparently, and i had a mission of some kind, there were some people having assassin-style abilities and i had to avoid them, though in the end i almost managed to talk one of them into joining.
The first is a dream about 'my room' from last night. The second is a fragment about cats and the third is a false awakening fragment. I find myself in 'my' room. I have had some friends visiting me, but now they are gone. Only one of them is still here, I think he is going to sleep here. It feels like it has been a nice evening together and we are tired and ready to go to bed. I start cleaning up the mess that the others have left behind, there are so many small things and pieces all over the place. I decide to just put it all onto my ironing board and then to just put away the ironing board. There are some beautiful group photos of me with my friends among the things, they evoke nice memories, so I handle them with care, while I do the rest of the cleaning very fast and sloppily. I look over to the couch and see my friend sleeping already. He lies on my big, red pillow. I wake him up and tell him that I want to fold out the couch, so that there is space for both of us. I begin to prepare our bed, and as I turn around for one second, it suddenly is already finished and he is sleeping. Peaceful, delighting sight. I walk around in the room. I tell myself that this is my room, so of course it is familiar to me, including everything in it. In one corner there are ~10 paintings from my mother. I think 'She is getting really good, I like her paintings'. I feel thankful for having the paintings here with me, they are very colorful. I put them aside to make a little space in the room. In another corner there are two empty beds, I recognize them as the beds I and my brother had, when we were children. I think it's funny that they are still around and I wonder why. Then I walk over to the couch with my friend and go to bed. My dream logic did not even consider using the beds for sleeping. I had never seen this room in waking life before, but in the dream it felt so familiar and it was clear to me that it was my room. There was something from every room I ever had in my life in that dream room. There is a wooden bed. It has no mattress, it is only hard wood, but somehow it feels comfortable to sit on it. I lay down a blanket and put a neat little kitty on it. I pet the little grey kitty and it seems to enjoy it very much. It stretches out and I pet it's stomach. I grew up with cats, but I have not had a cat since I live at my current place. I would love to have a cat. I 'wake up'. It is my bed, it must be late in the morning, it is already bright outside. The air is fresh and cold, because the window was open during the night. I hear the birds twittering outside. Suddenly there is a small bird in my bed. I am surprised, but very delighted. It hops around in the bed, trying to catch a fly. Eventually it succeeds and it looks proud of itself with the insect hanging out of it's beak. I like false awakenings, they are always funny in some way. I have had quite a few of them recently, I should remember to RC when I wake up, it seems to me that I forget that very often.
