So it lasted about 20 seconds or so. I've recently started going to the gym so I've been 'mirin myself a lot. Well I ended up doing it in my dreams and my body was colored weird, like vains were yellow and I had a red tint. So I knew something was wrong and pushed my finger through my hand, took a bit of effort but I got it. So it wasn't very vivid but I rubbed my hands and in a couple seconds it was fully blown vivid.
But here's where the weird part is that I have a question on, it was very hard to breathe in the dream, like I had just run a marathon and was struggling for air. Soon after I woke up.

What the fuck am I doing?
I'm feeling awkward... anxious? eerie. Yes, that's the right word, eerie. I feel overwhelmingly eerie.
I don't feel the way I'm supposed to feel, given that I might loose everything, and that is immensely irritating.
And then I had the glorious idea to take that orb, which I was told would inevitably lead to my death.
I'm confused as to why I have made that choice. It seemed obvious at the time, but I just don't understand.
Perhaps it was because I am desperate. Perhaps it was to put and end to this feeling of eeriness.
Or perhaps, deep down, I know what I'm doing. Maybe. Hopefully?
One thing is for certain. The decision I've made is final. There is no going back. There is only one path left to walk.
From now on there are no more choices to be made, and that is somewhat of a relief.



I arrive on the central platform in Riven on Teraluna, where everyone is waiting for me.
The city feels abandoned. The animals have gone. I don't like it. It doesn't feel like home right now.
It's nice to see the old gang together though, although I wish it was under different circumstances.
Yuya, Shinave, Silver... even Ifrit is here? That is unexpected.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for me to explain what is going to happen next.
What am I going to say?



But then all of a sudden, looking at everyone, I gain an immense burst of confidence.
Everyone has so much confidence in me. They trust me completely. They know that we stand no chance whatsoever to survive the battle that is ahead.
But they are smiling. Well, when I say everyone, I mean everyone besides Ifrit. Clearly he doesn't want to be here.
And saying that he would have any confidence in me whatsoever is ridiculous. He hates me.

I take a deep breath. What's the plan, now that I have the orb?
Yes... that's how we're going to do it...

"Silver... do you still practice sealing techniques."
"Yes. What do you have in mind?"
"How well could you seal off this area?"
"The entire platform?"
"Yes..."
"Hmmm..."

He thinks about it for a bit.

"If focus solely on that and noting else, I can give you an interdimensional seal covering the entire platform for a few minutes..."
"15, maybe 20?"

That is impressive. I never expected him to be able to do that much. Not with such a high level sealing technique.
This might work... sort of. It's all going to depend on me.

"Alright... I have a plan."

The magic words.

"The templars are all united in the same location, scanning for our auras."
"They know the rough location of Teraluna, but even though they are immensely far away, they have not come any closer."
"This leads me to assume that they have access to a gate, and they plan on dialing in once they have our location."

Silver points at the gate on the platform we're on.

"An ancient gate?"
"Yes."
"Indeed... I suppose they are capable of using the old network. And it's not like the cities barrier will provide much protection against them."
"Using the gates they also won't waste any energy to get here... What do you want to do? Block the gate?"

Heh.

"Quite the contrary."
"Oh?"

I see some slightly confused faces.

"We're going to send them an invitation. Show them right where we are, and open the gate ourselves."

Everyones eyes are opening widely.
And then I smile.
And then everyone else smiles.
Except for Ifrit of course.

"ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?"

I ignore him.

"When I give you the sign Silver, seal off the entire platform for as long as possible."
"Yuya, Shinave, protect Silver. The seal must not be broken."

They nod.

"Ifrit... are you in or out?"

Silence.
He draws a fire portal behind himself and turns away.
Shinave is clearly disappointed by these actions.

"You're going to run away?"

Considering that he's one of the ancient gods, that was very offensive.
But clearly he doesn't give a fuck about my opinion. I am no god. I am a lesser being.
He would have killed me long ago would it not be for Shinave to have urged him not to do so.

"Should you survive this day due to some miracle, know that I will end you."
"For what? Trying to save Teraluna while you run away?"
"It's all your fault. EVERYTHING is your fault."

Shinave intervenes. "It isn't."
He hates it. All gods should always side with him. After all he was the leader of the council of gods.
Which interestingly did actually fall apart because of me. That was my fault. In my defense though, it was beyond corrupt.

"At least I'm not hiding in the godly realm while the fate of Teraluna is decided."

His eyebrows twitch in anger and he leaves through his portal. He doesn't want to hear any more of it.

"I'm not sure what I was expecting, bringing him here."
"It was worth a try."

"So, when do we do this?" Yuya asks.
"As soon as everyone is ready. I have taken some actions that have kind of decreased the time we have left to deal with this."
"Good. Let's end this once and for all."

She smiles.
Yes. The time is now. I can feel it.
I nod at silver and he begins to prepare the seal.
He cuts into his left hand with a dagger, and draws some sort of incantation on the floor using his blood.
He then puts a bandage on it and sits down in a meditative pose.
Finally, he gives me a nod. He's ready.
Seven spheres of water appear around Yuya, who gives me the same nod.
And so does Shinave.
I summon my katana and wear it on my back, since I will no longer be able to summon it once the seal is up.
Show time.

After many weeks of having to hide my aura, I can finally power it up again.
I let the energy flow through my body freely. It feels so good. So refreshing.
I immediately sense the auras of all 12 Templars locking onto us.
Teraluna is found.

Non Dream
Dream
Lucid

As I'm trying to go back to sleep I randomly hear that loud ringing in my ears that lets me know I'm on my way to a lucid dream. I know I'm in the dream when I could see the room with my eyes closed. I got up from bed and started swimming around the house, trying to transform into a dolphin. After seeing I wasn't making any progress at all, I gave up, went outside of my house and jumped up to fly and explore. I flew to a hilly neighborhood. A middle aged woman flagged me down. She wanted to know what was the difference in seasonings at different Applebees (where I work). I woke up before I could come up with an answer.

I think I have to take baby steps with this transformation thing. Also, I should stick with passive control rather than active control, which I'm not very good at.

Today i dreamt i was waking up from my bed and decided to pick up
my brother's phone and check what time it was, he was sleeping and i picked up
his other phone and decided to play with it, i wasn't tired at all and he said "What are you doing? let me sleep."
i told him "I will play some games in your phone because i'm not tired at all" he said "No, put the phone where it was"
I was kinda bored so i picked up my phone and started to play.


Technique used for this dream: Mild
sleep time: 6 hours

I had a dream this morning about an old friend, Rinda, who passed away not long ago. I ran into her in what looked like a giant hotel like something a convention would be held at. She reminded me of how she believed in reincarnation and was now done with somewhat of a "cooling period" and was ready to be reborn. Because I'm a lucid dreamer, she asked for my help going around and passing along her final goodbyes. I would hold her hand as we passed through a door, which would take us into a dream of the people she was imagining. I sort of just hung back, keeping the door open, and let her have her moments before we left that room and did it all over again. We must have gone through every door in that building. When it was all said and done, I got a big hug and she said something to the effect of "well, enough waiting around, I'm off to my next adventure" before walking out the front door into the light.

Dream recall from today's nap.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was distracted from nap by family and skype.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was distracted by a relatively big, bug-like mosquito that was pretty tough as well.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was playing Solid State Survivor shmup and apparently got a new high score.

I dreamed about work, but it was a totally different team. My team lead from two jobs ago (whom I liked a lot) was there, and in my dream she had her own company, whereas the rest of us where contracters for another company. At some point she made an offer that anyone who wanted in the team could join her company, and I seriously considered this switch.

I remember this was a long dream, but I only remember some of it.

I was setting up a large game, outdoors in a city square. The pieces were kind of like red plastic bowling pins, only it was not for bowling, there were a lot more of them, and they had to be precisely spaced out at certain distances on the edge of the busy city square. And there were so many of them, and I was overwhelmed. Plus it did not help that I was unclear on the rules of the game and thus not sure on whether I was setting up correctly. Finally, I decided to give up, but I had set up so many of those plastic pegs already that I needed to collect again.

I asked my mom to help me with the cleanup, and she did some, but mostly it was me. During setup also found some red peppers made out of plastic, and wondered where they had come from, but I collected them because they looked to be part of the set.

I realized I was late for work. I gave my mom some instructions about delivering kids to classes. Then I realized my purse was missing. We started searching. Finally I realized that I had it with me all along in the bag with the game pieces (a huge plastic bag).

Yeeeeehaaaaaaa, seems like I figured it out for real.

DILD is so easy! And you can control it fully imo. There's no luck involved at all.

I didn't write the last two nights as the dreams were so short, they weren't worth writing down here. I just wrote them down in my notepad.

I woke up at around 9am, really late already and I almost had to get up. I was still tired so I just did the same thing as before: I cleared my mind of emotions and expectations.
Then I tried to sleep while constantly visualizing dream scenes while having the intent to manipulate them in a way that make me lucid.
Also, I focused on a specific spot in my body that I learned yesterday while meditating. When I focus on this spot, I get extremely calm and somehow it also affects my body (tingling sensations and stuff). It feels like I'm manipulating my own energy. But it helps me to fall asleep so why not

So I got lucid. The first part is not relevant to the alpha test, read it only if you want to.

1st: I was in my village. I was on the street and did a nose RC. It didn't work that well but I could breathe a little bit. I tried to push my hand through the other hand, it worked and I immediately knew I was dreaming. The dream wasn't vivid so I touched the floor and did ADA. Suddenly everything got clear. I remembered that I wanted to do one of the alpha tests for our dream RPG. "How do I get to Cardia?", I thought. I'm really bad at creating portals and never succeeded in making one. But while I was working last week I was always riding the elevator. I like elevators. Why shouldn't I summon my own personal elevator that can take me anywhere? Awesome. I imagined an elevator appearing in front of me. A silhouette of my elevator appeared. It was a small, silver-painted elevator. But I wanted it to be bigger. It grew in size and was now fully materialized in my dream. My vision faded black. I woke up. I didn't move and I wanted to go back so I focused on the last image I could remember. I actively visualized myself touching the floor and stuff and I was in the dream again. I had to do some ADA to regain the clarity.
I got inside the elevator. It was hot inside but there was a huge air conditioner above me. Cool air breezed into my face. I looked at the buttons. There were many buttons and next to each button was a small image with the location it would bring me to. I saw a green button with the name Cardia on it. I pressed it and the elevator began to fly away.
The door opened and a voice said: "Intermediate stop, Mall.". Why would I want to go to a mall? I walked outside and it was indeed a huge mall. I saw Windy but I knew it was just a DC. She said hello to me and I told her I'm going to Cardia to complete one of the alpha tests. She wanted to come with me. I lost lucidity again. I don't remember what happened here clearly but I think I had a FA of waking up and falling asleep again. I was standing in front of my elevator again and did a RC. I was still dreaming. I went inside the elevator with Windy and pressed the button to Cardia again. Suddenly the elevator moved downwards.

THIS PART IS RELEVANT TO THE ALPHA TEST:

'Bing', a bell rang and the door opened. Now this was Cardia. We were inside a small bakery. I looked around and it looked so medieval and awesome. There was food on a display cabinet. A man was working behind the counter. He looked like a typical baker, but he wore a grayish hat. "Hey, you!", I said. The man turned around. "How can I help you, sir?", he replied. I asked him: "Is this Cardia? And if so, where can I find the Clock Tower?". He looked at me and smiled. "Of course this is Cardia, my name is Dan(n)y (I don't know if it's written with one or two letters lol) and welcome to my bakery. The Clock Tower is right next to us! Look outside the window and you will see it.". I walked to the window and focused on my visual sense through ADA to see things clearly. The tower was right in front of me. It was huge! It's really hard to describe how it looked like. A little bit like this:

Spoiler for Clock Tower:

It looked like a mixture out of these two towers: Without the huge bells at the top.
And this one:

Anyway, so I thanked the Baker and jumped outside the window (Who uses doors anyway ). I looked around and saw people everywhere. Some of them looked like merchants with carts that were pulled by oxen or horses. The clock tower was now in front of me. I wanted to climb it and do the 360 degrees alpha test. It was so huge and I tried to fly upwards. It didn't work, my dream control was crappy for some reason. Windy laughed at me. At one side of the tower there was a rope. I climbed up the rope. It was so exhausting! For some reason I felt the exhaustion from climbing the rope in the dream. Maybe this is really helpful for the RPG later on to prevent being overpowered. But this was just an alpha test so I focused on making the strain on my arms disappear. It worked. I got higher and higher. At the top, there were 4 statues at each corner. And there was a gigantic bell inside the tower. When I was almost at the top, my vision faded again. I woke up. "No way, not now!", I thought. I haven't moved so I tried to go back to the dream again. I focused on the last image and I was dreaming again. I did some ADA and RC's to make sure that I won't wake up anytime soon. Now I was at the top of the tower. Cool wind was blowing in my face, it felt so good. I looked around. In front of me was a huge street with shops at each sides. Many houses. In the middle of the street (The street was really broad) was a decorated tree. Children were gathering around it and played some games. It all looked so peaceful. I turned to my left and saw the bakery I came from. On the left side of it was another street that led somewhere inside the village. I couldn't see that far for some reason, my visual sense wasn't that good. I turned around. Behind me was some kind of Townhall. It was big and looked pretty. I searched all over and this picture was the closest to what I saw:

Spoiler for Townhall:

But it was painted white in my dream

To the left and right of the townhall were trees and a little garden with beatiful flowers. I turned to the right side. Another little road, but it led to some kind of park. I saw lots of trees and a little lake in the middle. The area was surrounded by a small wooden fence. I turned to the baker and screamed: "Hey you, what is that area with the trees?". He looked outside the window and answered: "Oh, that's the Mc Bruisy Park! We grow medical herbs and different kinds of plants there!". Yep, he indeed said Mc Bruisy...sounds kinda lame so we might rename it
I turned around again and looked in each direction to make sure I saw everything my vision allowed me to. Seemed like I've seen everything in an area of maybe 100-200 metres. I had an FA and woke up for real shortly afterwards.


I also drew a small map in paint, I'm going to post it in the official alpha thread.

Once again, a dream from the previous day and once again because I was to lazy to write it down yesterday.

In this dream I was on vacation. During the first scene I remember me and a friend, who is into climbing, was climbing a very steep hill. Halfway up the hill there was a road carved out in the hillside, and as soon as I got there my mother would pick me up. I saw the entire scene from a great hight, like I was a bird looking at myself climbing.

During the next scene me and some friends were dining in a restaurant. I was still on vacation so I presume it is the same scene. A friend of mine said that he had planned to go travelling with another of my friends. They do not know each other in waking life though.

Anyway, the guy he had planned to go travelling with had abandoned him in the last minute. When he told us about it he broke down and started crying, saying that his vacation was ruined. I tried to comfort him and said that I could go in the other guys place.

During the third and last scene me and some friends were playing magic the gathering. I asked them if they had a ring of Valkas that I could trade with them, it is a card I need to complete one of my decks in waking life. They said that no, they didn't. Funny thing is that one of these friends is a guy I have been trying to introduce to the card game, but he has not wanted to.

Another blank. Got woke up

I woke with nothing, still got nothing.

I just remember a fragment from tonight:

I was talking to Scarlett, one of the main characters from the series "Nuka break":



We were in the middle of the wasteland and she had a flamer. Suddenly she torched me with it. I was unharmed, it seems like I was immune to flames, and we both laughed while I stood there burning like a torch. It seems like she had done it just as a joke.

So, early on in the dream, it was...well, chaotic and disjointed.

I remember that there was a large forcefield around what was apparently a school. The forcefield was somewhat spherical, and spanned quite a few blocks, and had a green color to it. It apparently would vaporize anyone it touched, but not anything else, and cut into someone's house.

There was also something about nanites. Not sure what.

Then I was in some kind of theatre, or church, or something. Lots of seats facing one way. Individual seats, like in a theatre, except all on the same level.

I apparently created a clone of myself, who was right next to me. This clone sort of...shrivelled up and withered away over the next minute or so. It was...kind of disturbing.

Anyways, at the back of the large room I was in, was a relatively large, clear area. To my left was a wall, to my right was a crowd and the rest of the room.

In front of me appeared a character who was the central focus of the rest of the dream, a girl named Sofia. I still remember her appearance, too. Roughly my height, shoulder-length brown hair, blue eyes. She was wearing...I think it was a t-shirt and shorts, but I don't remember any other details about them.

I found myself at a place that was apparently my house, resembling my old home, before I moved to my current one. Where my gaming room was, which was just a sort of large alcove between two rooms, separated from the hallway from some thick curtains, was a bathroom. I remember the layout fairly well. The door opened inward and to the left. There was a bath on the left, a sink to the right, and a cupboard past the sink, also to the right. The toilet was to the left, around a slight corner behind the bath.

I found myself at the front door to this house. Unlike my old house, this one had a simple brass [or some other metal of that color] doorknob, one that you would find on a bedroom or bathroom door, as opposed to the front door.

I opened it, and here I remember the smell of fresh air and freshly-cut grass. There was a small concrete "landing," and then two steps down onto a concrete path that extended out to the road. To the left and right was a well-kept lawn. This front yard was completely different from my real one.

Sofia was there, holding one of those paper bags you use for gifts and such at parties, it was blue. And yes, it was shiny. She comes in, and we chat for a bit, and head out to the backyard.

My old house had a sunroom, this one didn't. In place of the rather large backyard my old house had, this one had a concrete patio. It was fairly bare, and there was a wooden bench, like one you would find in a park or beside a sidewalk. Sofia and I sat down on it, and continued chatting for a bit.

Then I woke up.

I actually remember how a good chunk of things felt, such as the brass doorknob, and I remember that smell.

I did not find out what was in that bag.

Raven and I are sitting on the bench by the koi pond, watching the fish.

"I can't remember my dreams too well."

"and i can't write too well right now. hmm. i know, how about we engage sense of smell and taste by having a bake-off?"

"yeah!"

raven and I cook on the dream plane, we make kitchens in the biodome outdoors. I make chocolate covered chocolate chip cookies, and raven makes chocolate ice cream sandwiches with chocolate chips dipped in chocolate. Raven wins.

We have an idea to always carry around giant chocolate cakes and cookies in dreams to help us be lucid more.
