All DJ Entries

This one came as a surprise, as I haven't been doing any LD techniques these past couple of months.

I was in a public restroom. I thought I had ceased to exist, or something to that extent, so I looked in the mirror to see myself and instead I saw the reflection of a blonde girl I don't know. At first I was terrified because this was proof that I was no longer there, but then I remembered that in dreams one's reflection usually appears different. So, I wanted to wake myself up, but I couldn't, which made me worry the I wasn't dreaming. I ran out of the restroom...

Dream 1(fragments):

There was some video game with dragons.

Dream 2:

I was playing some Doom mod, coop with somebody. We were going through some locations, mostly through some kind of underground complex, and fighting enemies. I've had some energy based weapons and was doing fairly well.
Then we have reached outside area, it was an area with four blocky houses surrounded by a desert, we had to go through each one to solve some switch puzzles and fight enemies, then there was area surrounded by walls near one of houses where we had to fight lots of big enemies like mancubuses on a few elevator platforms. Then also there were some custom enemies, one of them being hell knight with 4 legs that continued to fight as 'floating' body after losing legs and was pretty quick. Then in another house i've found a few secrets including machinegun with poison bullets that i identified as really rare, the entry into secret area was located in one of houses and through semi-hidden passage located in one of mazes in the house. Also i've found another powerful weapon in different secret area.
As we continued with the level game suddenly switched to be spiral knights, i've still had the secret weapon, which in here acted like strike needle, but with continuous, a bit slower, fire and ability to move while firing. It was pretty powerful and dealt decent damage to mechas despite being piercing damage type.
Shortly we were back to area with houses and now game switched to be some kind of 3D platformer, after going through some jumping puzzles i got inside another building, there was a portal which lead into some different dimension. It was kinda peaceful dimension with platforms on top of the trees, filled with various treasures. After a while a cutscene started, which shown some female character shouting on the top of one of fur houses and holding a feather. Then some parrot flies in and says that it's his feather and asks to get it back.

First dream was of me parking my car on a pizza delivery and getting some ticket, ended up meeting who gave me the ticket, asked em if they could do anything about it cause i already have registration and smog to do for it... couldn't afford a couple hundred bucks, then he said its was actually 5000 which made my jaw drop. He ended up saying he would see what he could do to get it dropped.

I woke up, went back to sleep

I woke in my room at night, went to go outside, and i noticed one of the cats we feed was chasing a tiny little deer.

I was talking calmy to it once it was stopped ontop of the brick wall, having not seen any deer here in the city i found it odd. As i kept talking "hi, how are you" blah blah blah, it suddenly turned into this beautiful dark skinned lass. I was flabberghasted, cant recall much of the dialogue other than me asking if she would like to joing me in smoking a bowl of some herb, to which she said she would like. I came back outside and i guess one of my friends who was staying over followed me out. I noticed this huge fat cat sitting in one of the chairs. My friend asked about the cat and where it came from I kind of jsut mouthed to him "thats a person : o"

Woke up before we could share that bowl of herb x.x

I was naughty and didn't record some WILDs from last week. On my phone so just brief points:

The one where I tried he'll one last time. The devil was small and at the bottom of the tunnel. I grabbed at him but he was like air. He slipped away through a hole in the rocks, and I stuck my hand I. The he to get him. Something happened causing great pain in my hand, like electrocution, then I woke up.

Then the one where I figured out how to summon DCs! I just ti d a tall building which are usually around, then fly to a top floor window, and they're right there behind the window! I have to flap hard with my arms though because I apparently fly heavy. Anyways, I succeeded I getting with a cute blonde chic this way, but I woke up before sex. I DEILDed I to the same dream, found her again, woke up too soon again.

The one where I found a pretty brunette this time, using the fly to the window method. This time I succeeded in getting with her. I decided to watch the details this time. Won't go too specific. Anyway it was such a turn on that I woke up!

A fragment of dialogue: "And you will be trusted with it. Again."

(Woke up at 7:50 am, after getting to bed at 4:30 am. Back to sleep.)

I'm reading a multi-volume autobiography. This particular chapter is describing a vision the author had at a young age, and what he thought about that - not about the content of the vision, but the act of having one.

A man is being held captive by a coyote god, or rather a coyote spirit which has temporarily become a god, taking on a human but coyote-headed physical form. They're surrounded by baby spiders acting as helpful servants. This man had been searching for his wife, refusing to believe the reports of her death, and his search led him here.

As Haruka/Onikui, I'm chained in a cell, with Minamoto Raikou standing over me with the keys.

(Woke at 9:04. Back to sleep.)

"They had more passion, ordinary things; and it didn't do to tempt the passions of ordinary things in passing." The thoughts of a woman who had a man over to eat together with her mother and her daughter, flirting and enjoying it, but with this thought in her head.

(Woke at 10:28. Back to sleep - but I woke up roughly every half hour after that, and I kept running into that problem where, half-awake, I think about writing a dream down and mistake that thought for having actually done it, and so forget the dream. Nonetheless I wound up with two more pages of notes, mostly too dull to bother writing out in detail.)

Very dull dreams from the rest of the night included discussions of my control issues, a man taking the shape of a three-eyed bat with a green-and-gold mask, watching the sunset, farm work, bear hunting, anatomy studies, a vampire movie starring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan, the death of Mickey Mouse while he was nobly saving Donald Duck, my IRL civilian sister as a military police officer in training, a werewolf-hunting father and daughter giving a werewolf shelter in their home, and a sitcom about hobbits with fangs.

08/27/13 After the restroom I looked at the clock and it was 9am. It appears the second LD spanned about an hour as my boy leaving the house would have been about 10 till 8. I was able to easily do a WILD (what a night!)
I am running out of time to work on my DJ so this one is going to be only quick flashes from some of the best scenes. Visiting with women while running around the high school. Running with my long since passed away dog. Going into the high school and looking around when janitors asked me if my dog was ok. Her tail had been cropped. Who would crop a German Sheppard's tail? Climbing floor by floor up the outside of a great skyscraper. Climbing up the largest tree I could find and jumping down,,,, and so on,,, just random screwing around. I have no idea how long this lasted. A very long time, as when I woke up it was almost 11. I am sure some of that time was regular sleep.

08/27/13 Held still and pictured the scene from my prior dream. Perfect success,,, lucid again. I left the old house and went back to the down town area. I screwed around and explored inside a building. I ran into an old friend who told me he was making fire works. Random scenes came and went, but are hardly worth stressing to recall involving exploring the building. I again tried to travel on foot to see if I could recreate a realist version of my city. Again very abridged. I ended up over at my old high school. I found a small group of high school boys, and decided for fun to talk to them about this being a dream, as for some reason I got it in my head at least one of them may actually be a dreamer. I asked them how they could go about telling if it was a dream, and so on,,, I demonstrated how I could step up on to a non existent step, thus floating a foot off the ground. Eventually I thought we should light off some fireworks. I went to the corner of the school closest to the building where my friend had said he was making them and just called out, "hey, can I have some of those fireworks?" No one came to me and the boys were watching. I just decided to skip that part and confidently stated "Thanks kid" taking something out of the hand of a non existent firework delivery boy. The young men looked confused.
In my hand were 4 strips of metal, I did not question it knowing they were some odd form off fire work. I just bent one piece around another. One of the boys offered to light it. It worked and a nice little flare went up and popped into sparks. I decided the next one was bigger. The remaining piece (should have been two, but I ignored that) had expanded in size. The kid lit it and a really nice firework went off with colored sparks falling fro about 30 feet up.
I could suddenly tell I had to pee IRL. How many LDs have been ruined by this? I did not fight it as by this point it seemed like this LD had gone on 30 minutes or so. I just told the boys, "I have to wake up now." I did wake up and used the rest room. Then I did a WILD (WBTB).

08/27/13 Had a wonderful night full of LDs. 3 separate LDs at least, each lasting no less than 20 minutes, but perhaps more in the 60-90 minute range. I had even drank 24 oz of light beer, and it did not mess anything up. I did not really set out to LD. I do not have time to fully describe each, and actually am so pleased and satisfied, I do not want to stress much about dragging up high levels of recall (we are talking 2-3 hours total LDing) So I am just going to jot down some memorable points from each.
The first one was a DILD and I no longer remember what triggered it. I was already having fun for a few minutes and was hanging out with a DC, when I saw my father standing outside a fish store talking with some men. I leaned against the wall and just listened and watched this highly detailed DC, as my father died about 16 months ago. A irrational thought started in my head that perhaps dad had faked his death, but I knew I was dreaming and that was silly.
After that was a long sequence of scenes where the theme was me having super powers. I took a car in one scene and was able to fling it though the side of a building using TK and pretty much no effort other than a thought.
This sequence ended when a stage I was standing on turned into a loud speaker playing music and swinging slowly back and forth under me. In hind sight I think my sons alarm was going off. After many random scenes of levitating and screwing around in a big city, I found myself in a familiar setting in my home town. I decided to try travelling on foot and keeping the scenery some what accurate. I set off to travel to my father's old house where we had a family business, just to see what would happen. I took big leaps over cars and streets. The trip was highly abridged, but more or less correct.
When I got there his wife was running the business and many DCs were about. A long series of scenes took place in which I chose to passively observe. I did have a dream body, and the DCs talked directly to me, but I just wanted to see what my brain came up with.
This LD seemed to span about an hour and had many more scenes and fun, but that is enough to record the general idea. I did suddenly awake at some point (probably from my son leaving through the front door), so I just stayed still and attempted a DEILD, which worked.

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.
