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.

-Trying to hide something for a black cat(?), one cat already had stuff hidden, but this one takes back the flat, (blue?) object and scampers off with it itself.

Me and Rane get trapped in a storage type unit. Any doors out are locked. Finally I see a way out, and climb up something to get to it. The latch and screw is all rusty, and I’m relieved when I manage to get it open. Then we have to take a bunch of figurines and stuff off of the latched/screwed shelf. I start recognizing stuff and questioning it, and start getting upset because it’s stuff of mine that’s been missing. I question “where are we??” and try to think of what place it could be.

A few of the things on the shelf: Figurines (I remember clear glass cylinders with things inside them, like flowers), Pokemon cards, and there are some creatures in tanks, like a small crab, and Rane points out a praying mantis type creature in a tank. One of them had rice in the bottom of the tank but it was getting old, so I threw in some new ‘rice’, except it was white plant stalks.

-Asking something about underwear to Rane and saying ‘that’s just too sad’.

When I see a red with white swimming suit in the stuff, I say ‘I could have been wearing this’, because I don’t have many (good) swimming suits.

-Rane watching an anime whose opening I don’t recognize, but when I look over I see two guys walking along a dirt road in a town and see that she’s watching a show I recommended, and I hope it shows the blond girl soon so Rane will get into it more.

Possible inspirations: Climbing comes from the previous dream about climbing the porch/cabinet. I think the blond comes from Yuri in Mawaru Penguindrum, because I was recently thinking about the show and opening song. The style the two guys were drawn in reminds me of Escaflowne. Rice comes from a previous dream. I have deja vu about the creatures in tanks, feel like I may have actually dreamed about something like that before.

I didn’t even know I wasn’t already awake at first, because I was looking at dreams on DV and typing up dream keywords in the Dream Journal blog post box.

I saw someone’s dream and apparently recognized Leon (from Dangan Ronpa).

Some of the things in the box:

Kuwata Leon
Twins doing something (can’t remember)
Kawahira (from Katekyo Hitman Reborn!)

Inspiration: For Leon, I watched three of the latest episodes on Sunday, and remember looking at the x’ed out portrait of him during a Trial. For the twins, I was reading Kingdom Hearts II volume 2 last night, and in it, Roxas was staring across at Sora before he melded back with him. For Kawahira, I saw someone’s comment in the MyAnimeList discussion thread for the chapter I’d read yesterday evening saying that we still have to figure out who he is.

It's been quite a while since my last quality lucid dream... hmm... could I be back on track ?
Either way, I had an awesome (and pretty long!) lucid with GREAT control (I think I only failed on thing, and I didn't even try that much). I DEILDed a lot, yet my recall isn't that poor .

Lucidity: 9/10
Vivacity: 9/10
Control: 9/10

I Somehow get lucid for no reason and test reality, just to be sure. I am on a balcony (the same as in many of my balcony related dreams) and I look around a bit. I realized I haven't stabilized the dream yet and so take a second to do it. Feels great.
I somehow feel like I am having great control (maybe the fact that I put the "control disk" in my chest in a previous lucid makes me feel more comfortable?) and observe the scenery a little more - it looks the same as in real life. I look to my left and see a random guy on here. I run near him and dive over the security fence, and frontflip my way to the ground. I make sure I land on the balls of my feet (ya know, you gotta make a safe landing ) and roll on my shoulders. My brother is at my right, and though he seems impressed, he shakes his head and "pshh"es. Doesn't matter. I remember I wanted to practice my twists and try it out IRL but I don't feel like doing that right now; instead, I head towards a random glass (big enough for a window) and decide to go through it, remembering that the competition started days ago and that I'm not doing great. I start by touching the glass and slowly pass my body through it.
I decide to do some Telekinesis. I was going to do that but I remembered my three step tasks and though that it would be smarter to start it and teleport before doing telekinesis. I take a few steps back (3rd person view) and start spinning - I have only spinned at 180 degrees when I see myself instantly dissapear and appear a few meters away, finishing my spin with another 180. Nice. I try that again but this time I fail to teleport and instead end up falling on the ground, as I try to get up I can't help but feel the dream fade away a little to fast for me to react, and I am forced to DEILD.

DEILD

I am back where I left, and I quickly stabilize the dream. I walk to a parking lot and there I decide to do my second task : telekinesis. I try and make lots of random object levitate, then try to use airbending but it isn't that great. I make a car levitate, which got pretty easy with all the practice I got, but then I remember that the TK has to be massive. Would a single car do it ?
I lift my hands up and all the cars of the parking lot get around 4 meters up in the air. I remember that there is a limit to the amount of points you can get from a single dream, so I let the cars fall back down and decide to prepare for a hopefully successful DEILD. I close my eyes and see my face frown, before waking up.

DEILD

I'm at the exact same place I left, but there are way less cars this time and I and on my knees. I forget to stabilize the dream, too exited about all that successful forced DEILD.I walk around for a bit, trying to remember what my third task was. At one point I get to think that it was massive summoning (It was actually time control). I do the silly signs that I made up and while I put my hand to the ground in slow-mo, I see myself travel through space to end up touching the floor of the balcony I was in before. The summoning didn't work. Meh, I've already done 2/3 of the task anyways.
I take a few steps and randomly order "I want a storm", talking to my dream like it was a servant. The wind around me starts blowing really hard, and I randomly teleport to a plain in the middle of a forest.

"That's the power you should give me when I try airbending", I say.

The wind is stilll blowing, harder and harder, and a guy in a yellow water proof suit comes up to me and tells me that I had to look down in order to be able to breathe, because there was gonna be so much rain that I could drown in it. The rain comes, and like the guy said I can't breathe, and even when I get to the ground the dream keeps fading out and I am forced to DEILD.

DEILD

It's only when I'm back in the dream that I realize that DEILDing was a good thing. I'm still drowning, though. I quickly get up and spread my arms wide, and the wind and the rain dissapear.

[...]

I am back on the parking with a guy around. I try airbending, and notice that my subconscious listened to me during the storm. I send a burst of wind to a tree and miss by little to rip it off the ground. I play with that for a lot of time, sending bursts onto the cars, making them fly...
At one point I see a guy drinking a soda, it would be nice to try some water bending. I extend my hand to his can and quickly enough the drink gets out of the can, and I make it splash on the guy's face.
I feel the dream fading out, and I try to prepare for a DEILD but I fail it.

26/08/2013

Dream 1

Someone tweeted me asking why I tweeted that there are 7 pyramids in England. I didn't know why I tweeted that?

27/08/2013

Dream 1

I was fighting with guns. I went into a building and remember shooting about 4 people. I was telling my friend how I saved the world like 3 times and he believed me. I was then back at school.

Dream 2

Someone handed me a can of crep protect over a table.

I'm in my room doing seemingly nothing, I notice loud music starts to reverberate through my house from across the street. I automatically assume they are having a party of sorts, usually I would bitch and moan about it, but I notice that I am completely alone in my house for some reason, I wonder where my sister has gone. I wait nervously until I decide to get dressed out of my pajamas into clothes, and sneak into the party across the street, I believe I can because it's almost dark and theirs a shit ton of people in their twenties walking in and out and in front of the party. So I quietly walk out of my house and walk a little ways down the street then turn around and walk along the sidewalk and fence nearest the part. Then I turn into the driveway, and I see a table with a girl and boy managing it, there's tickets on it. I walk up to it and they ask me if I'll be buying the underage tickets and pass, I tell them no I am 21, the boy doesn't believe me so I tell him I can show him ID, and he says yeah sarcastically, but then is shocked when I show it to him, then the girl hands me a sheet of adult tickets and tells me it'll cost $5, so I give her $5, then she says for $1 more I can get a bonus row of tickets so I agree and pay her the $1, then she put a neon blue wrist band around my wrist, then she asks me will I be eating salads or hotdogs? I immediately say hotdogs because who eats salads at a party, but then I contemplate what she meant by salads like if there was potato salad, macaroni salad, because I'd rather have potato salad to be honest, but it was too late she gave me hotdog ticket things so I just walked in and passed everything, the food, the candy stand that all I could see was pop-rocks, and I walk up the stairs and enter the house, hardly any people are in here but I see the parents who own it, they see me and look at me in shock like they know me, the DC's two men I've never seen in RL but I suppose they represent people because I feel the need to apologize to them for what my dad has done to them and that I don't want his blood on my hands and I told them I have nothing to do with him, and they somewhat forgave me but kept an eye on me, then the man tells me that on his bedroom door is a game so I went into his room and shut his door which is clear and play this game that has porno pictures as the puzzle, once I realize what the image is that I was trying to put together I freak out and try to erase it or turn the game off but I don't know how, but finally I turn the game off then walk out into the living room and watch drunkards stumble about.

Dinner: included 3 eggs

Pre bed: 3mg mel

Total sleep time: 6 hrs, lots of insomnia

Early fragment: thinking about ld, this was one of these FA things where you remember a previous lucid then wake up and can't recall anything. Suspicious.

Fragment: I am in our first home and look at some expensive according to mom shoes that she has ordered from India for my aunt. Then she shows me a coat that she has bought. She tries the coat with a handbag and asks me if I like them. The handbag is very ugly and green.

Micro-ld: Near neighbor's entrance and I make place for some people to come in. There is a Japanese breed dog and it starts licking my palm, it licks and licks, I can't detach myself from it. When I finally do, it falls on the ground with a bound of sadness. I am thinking it got so much positive emotion out of licking, it now feels devastated. It tries to get to my hand again and I feel disgusted and want to wash. There are two-three girls, we are going up to wash, one of them is naked, but her breasts are not there, just weird nipples.

The dream skips forward and now we are in a large hall where people receive awards. The girl is part of four of the nominee teams, which are small island countries and Japan. A guy announces his name on the microphone. Then, I see a classmate of mine and wonder what the hell is she doing here. (She randomly appears in dreams). I decide to do a RC and stand up from my chair, saying RC and raising my hand to examine it in a very conspicious manner. My classmate looks at me and replies RC. This looks so nutty, I am fully convinced it's a dream. I can't recall much else, just that I decide to get out of there, but the dream fades and I am back in my bed. I lay still for a DEILD.

DEILD: I appear in an apartment at night in the shower cabin. In the dream I recall about me wanting to behave like this is real life and know that if I do that, it will stabilize the dream. Therefore, I do my best to pretend that this is real life, take a shower, examine the showerhead, carefully trying to simulate proximity to real life. I even use a towel to dry myself. I decide I want to visit my friend, but look in the mirror and see I am wearing only a short T-shirt. I certainly don't want to appear like this in front of him, if I think about my attire when meeting him, but decide it will change by itself as I go along. I have no clue where he lives irl, so decide to try to go to school and see if he is there.

Currently on the fourth- fifth floor, I hang on to the curtain and swing forwards, it elongates and transports me down perfectly. I am in our old neighborhood and need to walk to school although it's quite a risky idea. Slightly above the ground, I do the the curtain swing again, even though nothing is holding the curtain and I know that but don't care. It's pretty effective and I am going fast. I do my best to hold the image of the street as stable as possible. I pass quite a distance for a dream, curtain swinging at tree level, stepping on each tree as I end each swing. It is daytime now. :yumdumdoodledum:

At the end of the street, the trees and buildings begin to lose shape and become a white flowing background. I slow down a bit and the street is back again. I reach a small garden and notice a large war memorial that is not there irl, but the place still looks kind of familiar.

Then, as I move forward, I interrupt my concentration of holding the dream/images and think that CL flies a lot and that maybe that would have been a better option, since I am taking too much dream time. Yet, I reply to myself, that would involve imagining flying over the specific area I need to go and may actually be harder for me. These thoughts take just a moment, yet this is enough for my control over the scene to wane and the scene in front of me changes. It is a smooth change, but it is no longer where I am supposed to be going. I try to go back and change it to the specific location, by turning my back on it and checking it again. It changes again but now it's like a totally different city with an old castle up on the hill. I feel saddened I am not going to make it to my friend and take a turn to the left.

The street changes again and is now a familiar one from my hometown and it leads to school too. Among the crowd, I notice a very unpleasant person from rl and a pain in ass in non-lds. Her eyes look very lively and I feel her aggression. She also says something that's supposed to be irritating to me and I can hear her voice quite well, even though she is not that close. I don't pay attention to what exactly she says but can clearly smell trouble. I wonder how did she appear here among the crowd of DCs walking down the street, I didn't think about her. I begin to worry about her but turn my back, reminding myself that if you don't think about it, it doesn't exist. Yet, I can still feel her presence behind me. I speed up, now flying low above the ground. She is behind me and I feel an upcoming confrontation that I prefer to avoid, so I wake myself up.

I take brief notes and end up with insomnia.

Fragment: I am in a room and there are masks that one wears underwater, but they don't really exist irl. Bf and dream friends come in the room and we talk about something. The water has been running so I turn it off, then this girl looks at where all the water has been going, somewhere underground. There are huge fish there and also normal ones, they expect to be given food.

Fragment: something about bf's mom and food, there are poppy flowers nearby.

LD Fragment: This was a nice, average to long ld, but mostly remember the last part of it as I involuntarily fell back asleep.

I don't feel well, nasty pain, I stop and ask these DCs to tell me what is wrong with me. Something about their appearance strikes me as odd, so I become lucid. I think I ask them how to get better or something.

No memory what happens next, I have been doing stuff in this apartment, talking to DCs, free-styling.

I remember looking myself in a mirror and noticing that I look really nice. I like my dream make up very much and try to memorize it so that I put it the same way irl. I also have some thoughts about trying to manipulate my body in a certain way and see if there is an effect irl.

I go to another room and look at the cupboard, notice a beautiful china milk jug with blue decorations but feel mischievous, so decide to use TK to make it fall down. It falls on the floor and then gets on the the chair in front of me, broken in two. Now, I feel sad and want to repair it. I also think it will be a cool skill to repair things and even have a false memory of repairing something. I try to fit the pieces together and hold them, but it doesn't work. I hear a buzzing sound and me and DCs in the room see some sort of a wasp, maybe twice the normal size and completely brown and shiny. I decide it's time to get out of there and head for the window. There is a beige mosquito net on the window and I try to phase through it but meet some resistance. I remind myself that I can do it and push forward. The net stretches a bit and finally I pass through and fall/fly down.

This part was very pleasant but I don't recall all of it. Basically, I end up flying low over a yard that transforms to meadow with different wild flowers, mostly yellow ones, as the late September sun shines down on the meadow. Absolute beauty and I remain with the scene for as long as I can until the dream finally fades.

Fragment:I end up in another dream for a brief while, making profane gestures with hands.

Woke up happy, fell asleep again, had another short dream I can't recall. Then woke up very worried as I had forgotten the most of the last ld.

I only have fragments.

First fragment, I was in a weird house, like a very cheap frat. There werr like three people living in one room. I was trying to find a good room for me.

Second fragment, I was walking with my ex. We were sort of getting back together, then she saw the guy she cheated on me with and they were super close, so I thought "fuck it, I'm never getting back with her", turned around and walked away.

Third fragment, I was walking, taking pizza slices... somewhere. Then, I had to go through a swimming pool. It was for children, so the water was only at my ankles. As I started walking, I thought "it'd suck if the water rose" and of course, a weird wave happened and the water got higher. Insterestingly enough, I thought "I hate when my dreams do this", but I didn't get lucid.

Fourth fragment, I had entered a bathroom stall, it had high walls, but no roof. Still, I sat down and I wanted to poop, but I was afraid someone would hear me. I woke up pretty scared I had... done something in real life. Turns out it was just dream me that needed to go to the bathroom...

Fifth fragment, I was taking care of my dog, but he was a baby. It was weird.
