Well, It may be true. I had a weird experience today. My father passed away 15 days ago from a heart attack. It was a shock I felt never before. He was only 52 and in perfectly ok health. Because I live in USA and family in India, I couldn't even see him for last time. We were very close but in a subtle, non verbal way. I have/ had a regret that I couldn't/didn't express myself to him very clearly and maybe he felt like I kind of think of him as inferior or may be I feel I am very clever or something like that. I still have a regret that I didn't spoke with him very expressively like I do with my mom. That, he was one of the real influences on me and I loved him.
Then, I had a very relaxing evening yesterday I slept with pretty calm nerves. Then, I experienced series of dreams, they were super realistic, I was in my own perspective. There was also death of my dad in the dream, but it was hoax. He came back ! I asked him why did he do that, and he gave some explanation I don't remember. I sat on his shoulders and roamed around, maybe I did that when I was kid. He had an accident 2 years ago, which left him with swollen leg. So,I asked about it and it was recovered. My mom was furious with him in the dream. I said to him that he Must not miss him Blood pressure medication and he said ok, though a bit involuntarily. Then, all my relatives were there to see him again (he kind of came back from dead, or it was a hoax played by him, or some thing like that...)
My uncle said to him,'You just ask for the break, don't take a break like that!' and my other uncle asked to drop me back to airport for my flight to USA. And he said that he got it, he will drop me! It was the thing that he did for me on literally every day, drop me to bus station for school, or for other things. And I was woken up, all sweaty.
Later, I called mom, and explained, and cried a bit (the tears just rolled, and I seldom cry...).
Maybe,it was some maze created by my mind for giving me some closure, giving me chance to meet him again... or maybe it was an alternate reality. Or my dad's soul, communicating me when I was very calm minded.
I have no explanation, but from these experiences, I doubt the need of our existence. Our Hindu Dharma gives very well defined and studied explanations of afterlife, and one of the rituals that I did later denoted that he was satisfied when he passed. (He never knew he died, no pain, no fear..)
We are just puppets here, with unseen strings, and I just hope that wherever his soul is, he transcends to higher spiritual level and be happy.

I had been trying to WILD for almost an hour, so I gave up and started sleeping on my side. I'm lying there trying to sleep, When all of a sudden, I start feeling weird sensations, so I think to myself: WILD!. I lay there and let myself drift off in to my dream while trying to maintain conciousness, and I succeed.

I’m in the middle of what looks like an enormous prairie land. I immediately think to myself: Yes I’ve done it! Time to have fun! I leap into the air and start flying. It was AMAZING it felt so real, everything was so vivid and crystal clear. I felt the resistance of the air while going upwards too. As I start flying, the landscape shifts from this dull field, to some exotic place with many red rocks, and tall trees. The landscape is amazing, It reminded me of a video game, because often I couldn't look too far into the distance, because it wasn't there. I mostly had to look underneath me to observe the landscape. The grass is a very dark green, and there are orange mountains everywhere. Eventually, I start seeing giant monsters on the ground, and they look like they’re mad at me for flying around their land. I reach into my pocket and pull out grenades and start launching them while I'm flying. I kill them all and continue flying around the landscapes, and eventually the color starts changing. The orange mountains are now more of a creamy white, and it seems like the world is changing into minecraft. I start seeing black borders, so I land on the ground to yell out “MORE VIVIDNESS”. I don't remember hearing my voice, but everything did become clear into picture again, like I was staring straight into a painting. As I'm walking around thinking about what I should do in my dream, I decide that I wanted to listen to music (I now realize there were a lot more better things I could've done ) , so I reach into my pocket and try to pull out an iPod, just as I feel it and am about to pull it out, I fall into a lake and feel as if I’m going to start drowning. I realize that I can breathe, and everything becomes all good, and I levitate myself back onto the land. When I get out of the water I started hearing music, I have no idea what song it was, but it sounded like something epic that you would put in a movie trailer. I decide to pull out a red cape out of my back pocket. I put the cape on, and start flying again. Out of nowhere, come more trolls. I pull out an MP5 sub-machine gun from my pocket, and start killing the horde of trolls. While I’m shooting them, I’m flying around in the air and constantly dodging their rocks. Eventually the boss troll comes out. I land on the ground this time to face him. I’m standing about 20 feet from him. He’s this big ugly troll, maybe around 10 feet tall, and he has this giant wooden spiked bat. After this it gets blurry and I wake up in my parent’s bed.

As soon As I wake up, I start thinking to myself, why would I wake up in my parent’s bed?. I sit up straight and ask my mom, “What am I doing here?” She tells me I should go to sleep. I start doing a reality check to count my fingers, and I could've sworn I had exactly ten. So I ask my Dad “Why am I sleeping in your bed?” and he replies “It seemed like it was getting too hot in your room so I carried you here.” I thought his answer was a bit strange, considering it’s the winter, and my room shouldn't be hot. (Maybe it was because I had too many blankets on and my subconscious was telling me.) At this point, I was so assured that I was in real life, So I lie back down and try to go sleep so I won’t be tired for school. When I'm lying down I feel a presence around me, so I try to keep my eyes closed because I'm thinking that I'm in a bad sleep paralysis. I keep trying to keep my eyes closed, but I feel a force and I just open them to see what it is. When I open my eyes and look around, I spot a nasty spider the size of a dinner plate on the floor, beside my bed looking at me. Its legs were orange with black accents, and it had this giant translucent butt with tiny blue baby spiders crawling around in it. My natural instinct is to kill it so I get out of my bed and hammer fist it. I kill it with one hit, and I gather up all the harmless baby blue spiders, and pour them into the sink. I wake up in my own bed. In which I blow through my nose and stare at my clock this time to assure I'm not dreaming.

This was a fun but weird DILD that hit right at the end of a very long NLD. The sudden introduction of this "Dream Coordinator" character was interesting. I enjoy it when my subconscious plays back at me like that.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #66: The Dream Coordinator

I'm on an epic quest, roaming on foot across the United States with several odd characters: a man in his 50s dragging around an 8-foot potted plant, an 11-year-old anorexic boy, and a pretty, short-haired woman in her mid-40s named "Mrs. Rearden". I've been journeying with Mrs. Rearden the longest and I trust her completely.

It's a foggy morning, and we're all sitting for a moment on a long couch outside of a gas station. I notice that gas is "$1200 / 1000 gallons". I think, "$1200?? God, that's expensive." But I take a moment to do the math and realize that this gas is actually super cheap. "Ah... tricky, tricky!" I think.

I see one of those gas station signs with the changeable letters. It reads, "DUDE THIS SUCKS", which I find surprising. I look closer and see that it has changed to "YES WE'RE OPEN!" Just below the sign I see a row of frightening stone gargoyles perched along one of the gas station walls. Finally I've been bombarded with enough clues and now I know that this is a dream.

The other DCs stare silently ahead, so I ignore them and take a look around. It's still foggy, but I realize that I'm not outside at all but rather in what looks like an enormous airplane hangar. There are windows high up in the corner and I float toward one, planning to phase outside. As I reach the window, though, my vision goes black.

I feel myself floating back down, so once again I imagine that I have a gladius in my hand and start swinging it around everywhere. I land back on the ground, but everything stays black. I can still feel the weight of the gladius and my moving arm, though, so I feel fairly relaxed. I start probing at my dream body and discover that I seem to be wearing nothing but my boxer shorts. Suddenly worried, I check to make sure that my wiener is still there. Yes, all is well.

I've been in the dark longer than I'd like so I call out for help. "Somebody come help me! Mrs. Rearden, I need you to help me!" There's no response. I poke and slap at my face, hoping something will happen. Finally, I decide that maybe something will happen if I take off my boxer shorts. As soon as I attempt this, I hear Mrs. Rearden shout, "Don't do that! Stop it! Here, I'll help you." She grabs my left hand, gives it a hard yank, and pulls me into a new dream scene just outside of a door.

I keep a grip on her hand and we walk through the door. We're on the second story walkway of a mall. Mrs. Rearden looks frightened. She mutters, "This is not where the Coordinator wants us to be."

I'm stunned by this. "Who? The Coordinator?"

"Yes," she says. "The Dream Coordinator. This was not what he had planned." She is really upset and keeps looking nervously around the scene

I tug at her hand and move with her further along the walkway. As we approach an elevator, I say, "There is no Dream Coordinator. This is my dream and we don't answer to anybody. But you don't have to come with me any further. I think I'm okay on my own now."

She responds that she wants to help, but as she's speaking, I become disconnected from my dream body. My perspective sinks down to the busy food court on the mall's first floor. I feel like an insubstantial apparition and I'm desperate to regain physical form. I try the gladius trick but it feels all wrong.

There's a guy with a shaved head nearby, black, in his 30s, wandering happily around the food court. I move toward him, hoping that if I make physical contact it'll bring me back into the dream. He sees me floating toward him, though, and takes off at a dead run, screaming in terror. I don't blame him -- if a ghost in nothing but boxer shorts came after me, I'd run like hell, too. With nowhere else to go, I run out of steam and the dream ends.

I remember trying to sale my car. So my dad decided to buy it. We were standing outside of a store and my dad told my little brother to back the car out if the parking lot. Well apparently we were on a very large hill or a small mountain because when he backed out the car went off the mountain and got destroyed. In the dream I was more concerned with my little brother but my dad just cared about the car. Looking back its actually kind of funny.

i dont quite member my dream at the moment i feel a little tired and am trying to picture it but cant

Write previous entry on here. Back to bed. more lucids.

I SSILDed and it worked better with the WBTB since I have been sleeping too heavily and barely waking up during the night.

I had a normal dream about my family having a bunch of issues and I started playing video games (like I did when I was like 15). Someone mentioned work and I checked the time. It looked like 7:30, crap! I checked again. 8:30! Checked again, 6:39. I tried to explain the family situation to my wife and then I woke up to my wife saying "is someone else in here?" I freak out real fast and am not 100% sure what she said. I try to ask her to repeat. My mouth doesn't work "C... c... C... Can you repeat that?" Aha! SP! I broke out of it too! I look over and my wife is asleep. She must have been sleep talking. Only the second time I have been in SP though!

I went back to sleep. A little sad about not just WILDing through SP.

To make up for it, I WILD! Yay. I remember that the two dreams I forgot to stabilize and to look for HQ. I stabilized. Thought about a forest behind me. Aha! There was one. I walked over. It was so dark. Not too bad. I need to get there stealthily in case of extras. I walk through the tree line and notice that there is a huge ditch with aroad going down to a pool. Weird. There is a group of people coming up the road. I need to get away from the road. Secret base won't have a road to it. they had flash lights. they are looking for me. five groups of 3... Fifteen people. I haven't fought against anyone, I don't know if I can take 15. I hide in the trees and when they get past I start going to the thick part of the forest. After walking for a minute I got off the road (gonna upload a picture drawn of this place). I then woke up because of how dark it was.

I woke up. Back to sleep. I am in a huge building and people are letting their dogs out on me. Since the building had doors it was easy to get away.

Woke up. Back to sleep. Another WILD . It is day time and I am looking at a neighborhood. I think of forest again and turn around. The swimming pool and forest! This time there are people at the pool. I start walking by, and am contemplating flying to the HQ, but don't want to give away its location. DCs at the pool call me over. My throat hurts really really bad. Like someone is sitting on it. Ignoring it doesn't seem to help. It is causing me to be pretty unstable even with the vividness. I start losing the dream and let it go.

Ah! Thirst. I had been laying on my back with my mouth open. It is time to get up to work anyways.

I have been really tired lately (even with 8 hours of sleep). After these 7 hours though, I feel great though!

Sleep Position: Unknown

For some reason I've called up Jimmy, and ask him if he knows any indian medicine men or sorcerers, maybe he has someone in his family who has that type of knowledge. He doesn't seem into the idea but I talk him into it and he finally tells me to come over.

I go to his place, he invites me inside, then all these indians start giving me a hard time. An old woman giving me dirty looks that could kill, muscled goon indians trying to intimidate me. I know where I'm not wanted, so I go to put my shoes back on only to find thumb tacks inside them. I remove the tacks, put on my shoes and leave.

But it's not going to be that easy. They follow me and start using some sort of reality altering magics or curse on me. Everything is just going crazy in a very bad way, hard to describe. I begin to use dream control without being lucid to counteract their efforts, and manage to calm things down. One of them comments that they are surprised I managed to calm things down so quickly, then they launch another attack even worse than the last one. My reality falls apart into a crazy fractal. I do my best to keep my focus so it doesn't get the better of me and try to get out of there.

I leave the apartment building but they follow me, so I try to lose them by hopping on a bus that happens to have stopped near me with the door open, but they still follow. On the bus, my trials continue. At one point there is some sort of deformed mutant kid at the front with a donation box, and the old indian woman hands me 15 dollars to give to him. I'm about to put it all in his box, when I think I'll need money to pay my bus fare and keep 5 for myself, giving the kid 10. The old indian woman is absolutely disgusted by this, and even I concede that was a dick move. I know this isn't real, and I couldn't even give to the poor cripple kid without thinking of myself.

This hellish mind fuck of an assault carries on, and I finally realize I'm dreaming. Rather than try to salvage this mess of a dream, I'm like "fuck this, I'm outta here!" and wake myself up.

I'm having too many dreams where I use dream control without being lucid. Going to have to try to do something about that.

Non lucid. I'm surprised I remember anything, I slept like crap and my stomach hurts.

Anyway, Danny took me and Chris to come kind of science/history museum. Reminded me of the kind my ex, Karl, used to take me and Chris. So we're walking around the place, and I notice Karl walking past us. I barely caught eye contact with him before we went in opposite directions. Danny and Chris didn't seem to notice. (A little real life back story: after Karl and I broke up, I met Danny pretty quick and we hit it off quick. A bit later Karl wanted to get back together but I had already moved on. So there was some yuckiness there in the aftermath.) So we continue on walking and I hear footsteps behind us. Without turning around entirely, I peek on the ground just behind us, and I see Karl shoes. He's following us lol! There's a small theater just up ahead that's about to play some little Natural Geographic type short film. So the 3 of us file inside and grab some seats. Karl didn't appear to have followed us inside the theater.

Later, I have to pee. So I leave the theater real quick to go find the bathroom. As soon as I open the theater door, Karl is RIGHT there. We literally collide and I start to fall over a bit. I grabbed onto Karl's shoulders for support, and am able to regain my composure. He had the most fucked up expression. I put my hand on his face and ask, "Are you alright Karl?" He didn't answer. I continued to the bathroom and he went who knows where. When I left the bathroom (I don't remember peeing or what I did in there lol), I started down the hall back to the theater. I passed Karl AGAIN going the opposite direction. I didn't make eye contact this time and we just kept going our opposite ways.

Later on in the dream the 3 of us went outside where they had some nature trails. Something else Karl and I used to do alot together. I never saw him again.

(The dream was a little emotionally powerful, based on how I feel the morning after. I believe the day residue that my brain pulled this dream for came from "How I met Your Mother." Danny and I were watching it last night. We saw the episode where Ted was avoiding that one doctor ex-gf. And what happens? They end up at a restaurant where she just happens to pop in. He's debating on confronting her etc because they're relationship ended kinda fucked up too. My dream reminded me of that episode, or maybe it was actually vice versa.)

First LD in a while. Not too much got accomplished, but Frick, it was fun!

Decided to try and WILD from initial awakening again. Like everyone told me not too . Second attempt, second success.

I go to bed a little late (1130) and attempt to get into almost a medatative stance where I am visualizing and kind of just playing around with that until a dream starts. Then, at about 1230 my upstairs neighbors decide to drop something on the floor and chase fifteen elephants around their room and pick it up. That jolted me and made me wake up a bit. Then I made it back into that trance like state. I am standing! Aha! In a Dream! and then I wake up. Same thing that happened last time I tried this. I was in a dream, but then got kicked out. I lay still. I am getting the hang of what you need to feel in order to get in the dream from the waking state. I DEILD back into the dream, and the same thing happens. Over and over dunno how many times, I am a little ticked off by this, but then someone starts talking to me and I get up out of bed not lucid and go about some boring dream business. I then woke up again and was ticked off because I realized that I hadn't been RCing upon waking and that may have only been one lucid with scene changes. . The motionless RC worked (I am in reality). I tried to DEILD again. This time less confident since I think that the last five or so times that I thought I had "found that feeling" might have just been fake and my dream trolling me. I tried to get to the feeling and...
I am in a dream! I look at my surroundings. Not too many people in a neighborhood. It is a little cloudy out. I take to the sky and my wife joins me. We start talking about the dream and she pretty much has no dream control except being able to fly (so my subC got it right). She asked why it was so cold in this dream world and I told her I would warm it up. I lay back while we are flying and look at the clouds (I think nina flies like this... Might have been someone else though. I would recommend this though! It is fun!) No sun... I use all my might and get the sun out of the clouds by willing them away. We started getting caught up in the dream a bit. She (like a normal DC) steered the conversation to how in the city we were in there was an election today and everyone needed to vote. She told me to remember that they didn't nominate anyone this year, so you can vote for whoever you like. I would have lost my lucidity, but she kept reffering to the place as "a dream" so that kept me with it.

Then she started complaining about the cold again. The sun was setting, so I tried to bring it back... Fail. It dissapeared even faster. We landed and went to a house. We needed to vote soon or it wouldn't count. I was following her and she went through a garage to vote in the back. I decided to mess with her and flew past her and slammed the door shut. Put a barrier around the door. I then flew out the garage with her chasing me (that may sound mean, but it was more like flirting. Plus I had realized that I didn't need to vote since it was a dream. I woke up right after that.

#130 Regrets and Holidays - DILD - 1:44AM

I am working for my old boss P. She is next to me and I am printing out photos for her on the ID station printer. I keep asking, "Does this look OK?"

Then I am printing old photos of my mom and me when I was around two years old. Then I am with my dead grandma (nanny). I am looking at a live sized computer screen of a old Christmas tree. The background is solid blue and it looks like a bad photo shop job. I can see discoloration on the edges like it had been cut-and-pasted on the blue background.

Nanny is standing to my right wants a copy of that photo but I think it's too late. She tells me to just use the Christmas tree and do a new one. I see my toddler self and my mom posing in front of the tree. We look like a photo but we look we are really there. I say something to Nanny about it. Then I realize she is dead and become lucid. I start to become emotional but luckily the first thing I think of is the flower TOTM. I quickly reach behind my back and summon a rose. I don't feel it in my hand but pretend its there. When I bring it in front of me it looks like a normal red rose. Nanny wordlessly takes it. Then the emotion takes over me. I begin to cry and hug her. I feel mild pressure of her against me. I say to her. "I love you so much. I really miss you. I wished you weren't dead." I go on to say some other things but I forget now.

I guess because of the emotion I lose lucidity as my awareness gradually becomes a dim thought in my mind. I am suddenly in front of my Grandpa (Pawpaw) and I continue crying and talking. "I am really sorry that I did not call or visit you two before you died." He looks at me disinterested and shrugs a bit. I looks like he mouths something, "Ya." I think how I was a least hoping he was going to tell it was OK, not to worry, but he didn't seem to care. I feel really terrible.

Now, I am sitting at a Thanksgiving feast with my parents and my wife. I act as if nothing happened and feel completely happy. I assume my grandparents are going to join us but I don't see them anywhere. Instead of a Turkey there is a Turkey Pie. Actually, I see 2 pie and both are half eaten. I think there is not enough turkey for everyone. I hear my mom say, "I don't know but I better be getting my pie of turkey." Then I remember that my dad and I ate some earlier and I decide to pass on the Turkey Pie this round so there is enough for everyone.

I go back to sleep.

3:00AM no recall.

100MG Caffeine
2x Valerian Root

I am awakened by a noise at 3:30AM. I feel like I was just on the cusp of a lucid dream but I can't recall what it was. Couldn't go back to sleep after that.

This is the only part I can remember after waking up from it a few hours ago.

Me, my sister, and my mother were stuck in one of the most dangerous countries in the world, Mexico. It was getting dark and we had to find a home quick or we won't even be able to make it through the night.

The sun slowly begin disappearing and before we could get anywhere it was nearly the darkest. I didn't know what we would do, if we didn't find a safe place to reside in for the night we were bound to die. Though it actually never happened but it's a thought that I kept in my mind.

We were starting to get worried, especially when we were together. There was absolutely nothing else we could do but face death. My mother suggested we find a spot somewhere in the park to stay for the night but we already knew we wouldn't last.

There was a guy who suddenly came around a fence in front of the park we were facing, he tells us, including himself, to end our lives already. If we're gonna do it we should do it now. I was worried about it all and even now, I'm thinking about how sad it is for my mom to have been going through this with us. There was no father at the time, we were alone.

Recall from today's naps from roughly 9 hours ago.

Dream 1:

I was watching Minecraft Tekkit series by Sips&Sjin from the Yogscast on YouTube, they were building their compound and for some reason there were alot of other players helping them. There was also huge wooden clock tower like structure. Suddenly i was playing on the same server and everyone was asking me about something. Dream skips.
I am playing on the server with my friend LV, but we are apparently on the same map that from before. We are trying to figure out some stuff with Railcraft and having some problems placing rails properly.

Dream 2:

I was watching episode of some anime(don't recall which one), in which the villages all over the world are under attack and there's only village that is guarded by ninjas. The villagers from other villages came and are now hiding in this village. Soon it gets attacked as well, but ninjas deal with the attacking forces. There were three dudes in dark armor along the enemies which were presumably commanders. Ninjas almost finish them off, but suddenly three female warriors in open black outfits appear and finish off those three dudes, they become invisible and retreat before ninjas can do anything.
The battle stops for now but those female warriors are walking through village while invisible and putting villagers to sleep for some reason, then villagers decide to use another villagers as 'gates' at choke points so they can notice when there someone comes(logic!!!). Soon the enemy is discovered, but suddenly there's two angelic women appear out of nowhere, after that episode literally goes off rails, some semi-naked man dropkicks the angelic women out of nowhere, everything turns into rainbows and army of pegasi is flying around (). As episode ends i comment that 'it was the most awesome filler episode of all time'. Dream ends.

I dreamed I joined a MTG tournament. I got really excited and was eligible for the finals. The finals were when I had to go to work though so I wasn't even sure I could join. I somehow manage to join accidentally and I begin. It was strange however because even though it was a MTG tournament, the 3 rounds weren't about MTG at all. The first and third rounds seemed Super Meat Boy-themed and the second rather Diablo 3 in first person mode. I lost the first round, where we had to run from something chasing us in 2d mode. I won the second round, where it was a 1v1 battle. I won the third round as well, in which you were trapped in an area of 5 by 5 where you had to survive for as long as you could from spikes and blades and stuff. I found some sort of bug where they couldn't reach me and I won the tournament. My father entered my room and asked if I was going to eat diner (because apparently he called me before) and I tell him I'm on my way. I see achievements being unlocked and some ingame currency being added up to 12.000. I was also being late for work but I didn't really mind that much. I felt really happy when I won.

Vandalizing the Great Wall of China

My vision was blurry and the dream was pretty unstable. I could tell that I was in a mountainous area and that there was a large structure nearby. I could hardly see anything though. I did notice that there was a stone brick lying on the ground in front of me. For some reason I had the urge to attempt to lift it up with telekinesis. The stone started to wobble a bit and when I raised my hand, the brick floated up into the air.I became lucid around this point because I realized that telekinesis would only be possible if I was dreaming. It was also around this point that the dream became more vivid and stable.

I tossed the brick around with telekinesis and played with it for a bit. When I got bored with that, I looked at the structure next to me. It was the Great Wall of China. As I looked at it, I remembered the China task of the year. I remembered that I was supposed to vandalize the wall. I began charging a ball of earth energy between my two hands. As I was building up energy, I sensed someone coming up to me from behind. I turned around to see who it was. It was Lola.

Lola is apparently the captain of the police force in the Dragonborn City. That made me worry that my vandalism might not go so well. "What are you doing," she asked. "Nothing," I said. "It doesn't look like nothing," she said looking at my ball of earth energy. "Well what does it look like?" I asked. "It looks like you're about to blast a hole through the Great Wall of China," she said.

I finally charged enough energy and I decided that it would be better to ignore her and complete the task of the year. I turned around and threw the ball of earth magic at the wall. It caused a large portion of the wall to shatter apart and turn to dust, leaving a wide gap in the wall. "Why did you do that?!" she yelled. "Oops, my hand slipped," I said. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't arrest you," she said. "Well I was going to fix it," I said. "Maybe I should just call the local authorities and let them take care of it," she said to herself. At that moment I remembered that I was also supposed to fight authorities with Kung Fu, so it would actually be a good thing if she called them. "That's a great idea Lola!" I said.

She shook her head at me and pulled out her cell phone. As she was calling the local authorities, I started to use my earth magic to attempt to repair the wall. It wasn't perfect, but I think I did a pretty good job. By the time I was finished, 3 soldiers with spears had arrived on top of the wall. I grew dragon wings and flew up to the top of the wall. "Hello there," I said to the soldiers. They didn't seem very friendly however.

One of the soldiers thrust their spear at me. I ducked out of the way and knocked the soldier to the ground with a leg sweep. Another one attacked me with a spear, but I blocked it with my arm. I then kicked him the side and tossed him off the wall. When the last soldier charged at me, I broke his spear in half with my arm and then punched him a few times. After that, they were all knocked out. "That was easy," I said.

Lola flew to the top of the wall and landed in front of me. I knew she was going to arrest me and I didn't want to fight her. I already completed my goal, so I finally decided to cooperate with her. I raised my hands in the air to show that I surrendered. "Turn around and put your hands behind your back," she said. She pulled out a pair of handcuffs and put them around my wrists. "Your punishment will be to walk all the way around the wall," she said. "Wait, I'm not going to jail?" I asked. "No, I think this punishment is more fitting," she said. I looked in the distance and tried to estimate how long of a walk it would be. I came to the conclusion that it would be exhausting to walk that far. "Can I choose prison instead?" I asked. "No, start walking," she said.

So I started walking along the Great Wall of China. I spent most of my time viewing the scenery. As I walked, the dream started to destabilize, and I woke up after about 5 minutes or so of walking. I call it a good thing.

Penguin Alliance

I was lucid right from the beginning of this dream. I was in Australia walking down the street of some neighborhood with my daughter Lucia. I was apparently there to meet up with a group of penguins. I was going to make an alliance between penguins and Dragonborns. Lucia was with me because she thought Australia would be fun.

"Why do you want to make an alliance with penguins?" she asked. "Experience has taught me that it's better to make friends with a penguin and not enemies. They can also be very dependable," I said. I have no idea what experience I was talking about, but I'll take my word for it. Maybe I was thinking about the Penguins of Madagascar or Sgt. Byrd from Spyro.

We walked up to a house that I somehow recognized as the penguin's base. I walked onto the porch and knocked on the door. I heard a male voice from the other side say, "Who is it?" I stated my full name and said why I was there. "Okay, you're safe. Come on in," he said. I tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. "The door won't open," I said. "Oh I forgot, that door is broken. You'll have to use the penguin entrance," he said. I looked down and next to the regular door was a small door built for penguins.

I opened the tiny door and crawled through the hole into the house. Lucia then tried to crawl through, but she got stuck. I grabbed both of her hands and pulled her in. Once we were inside, we were greeted by a penguin who actually did seem a lot like Sgt. Byrd. "Welcome to our base," he said saluting us. When Lucia saw the penguin, she immediately picked it up and hugged it tight. "It's so cute!" she shouted. "Unhand me soldier!" He yelled. "She's not a soldier, she's my daughter," I said laughing. "I don't care what she is, I want to be put down!" he said. So Lucia put him back on the ground.

Sgt. Byrd showed us around the base. On the outside it looked like an ordinary house. On the inside however, it was like a military or spy base for penguins. "Wow, penguins are pretty cool," Lucia said. Byrd then led us to room where penguins were monitoring their spy cameras. One screen that stood out to me, was a camera monitoring a great white shark. "We'll gladly agree to your alliance," Sgt. Byrd said, "but only if you help us out with a small problem." "What do you need?" I asked. "A great white shark has gone mad and is constantly terrorizing the Great Barrier Reef. It's throwing the ecosystem far off balance. We need you to get rid of it using any means necessary," He said. "Sure, no problem. I've fought with sharks before," I said.

Me and Lucia crawled back out the penguin door and walked outside. "The first thing we need to do is get to the beach," I said. We got into a car that I had apparently left on the side of the street. I stepped on the gas and started driving in the direction that I thought the beach was. We were driving down a hill with a stop sign at the bottom, so I stepped on the brakes. The brakes weren't working however and I tell that we were going to crash. I held onto Lucia and the car crashed into a tree. Luckily we weren't going too fast and neither of us got hurt.

"I am never driving another car again. Something always goes wrong," I said. "So how are we going to get to the beach?" she asked me. We both got out of the car and the first thing that came to my mind was an ATV. I summoned an ATV in front of me and mounted it. "This is much better," I said. "How is that better?" she asked. "So far I haven't had any bad luck with these things," I said. She sat behind me and held on. I began driving in the direction of the beach again and the dream skipped ahead.

I drove the ATV onto the beach and we got off. I looked off into the distance and saw River in the ocean riding a sea turtle. When she saw me she smiled and waved at me and I waved back. Nothing she does really surprises me anymore. Next thing I know, Lucia is wearing a bikini and running towards the ocean. She picked up a a sea turtle that was swimming in the water and started riding it like River. It was at this point that I remembered that one of the tasks of the year was to ride a sea turtle at the Great Barrier Reef and bite a shark. It's great when the dream finds a way to put you in a scenario that encourages it.

I ran into the water and searched for a sea turtle. I saw a large one swimming out into the deeper waters. I swam over to it and grabbed on to it's back. "Can you take me to the great barrier Reef?" I asked the turtle, "I need to save it from a shark." The turtle made some sort of grunt sounds, which I assumed meant "yes". The turtle dove under the water and took me with it. At first I was worried about drowning, but then I remembered that I can breathe underwater.

Before I knew it, we were at the Great Barrier Reef. I could see great walls of coral with tons of different kinds of fish swimming around them. It was like a city for fish and marine life. As we swam around the reef, I asked the turtle, "Do you know where the shark is?" The turtle then turned and started swimming in another direction. Off in the distance, I could see the great white shark swimming towards us. I got off the turtle and told it to get somewhere safe. I then transformed into a dragon, hoping that it would help me swim better.

When the shark got closer, I remembered that the task was to bite it. I thought that was crazy at first, but considering I have dragon teeth, I figured I might be able to bite the shark just as hard as it could bite me. The shark came charging at me with it's mouth wide open. I dove out of the way and it missed me. It then circled back and charged at me again. I took a swipe at its snout with my claws and it stopped attacking me for a moment. I then charged some poison magic into my teeth and bite shark's back. After being poisoned, the shark had no fight left in it and fell to the ocean floor. I think it was safe to say that it was dead now.

With the shark problem solved, I decided to swim back up to the surface to check on Lucia. Lucia had apparently managed to catch a sea turtle that was like twice my size. She was using the turtle to surf along the waves. I don't really enjoy things like swimming or surfing much, so I decided to swim back to the beach. The turtle that helped me out earlier came back to the surface and let me ride him back to shore.

As we got closer to the beach, my vision started to become blurry. When I stepped onto the beach, I could tell that I was starting to lose touch with my senses and that my dream was becoming unstable. I tried to fight it, but it wasn't long before I fell to the ground and woke up.

Hello,

I recently started to get back into lucid dreaming. I have not visited or posted here for some time now, but am excited to get back into it. The last tasks I read about were for January and Febreary 2013. Just a few hours ago I had 3 back to back lucid dreams and I know some of them are kind of a mix of this months task and last months task but here they are.

First off all my Lucid Dreams were WILD's. The first one was when I just became lucdid in some town where the houses were very close together cottage style with multiple stories and the roads around were dirt. As I became lucid I first got excited and then calmed my self down and the dream became very very clear. As I walked around I tryed to start recalling the task of the month. I have not been on dreamviews.com for several years and just got back into it in February. The most recent task I could remember was Freeze a Lake and Ice skate on it, pick a flower and give it to a DC, approach a DC and ask them a number between 1 and 10. So the first thing I did was say hi to a DC it was a woman dressed in tattered clothing as she was walking by me and she sais hello in a very freindly manner. I then manifested a white flower from the ground, and it was a single white daisy. I picked it and handed it to the next DC I saw and it was the same woman. Whats funny was it started to droop over before I could hand it to her so I gave it to her quickly and when she got it it kind of shrivled up and disapeared. I woke up.

I then immidiately fell back asleep and became lucid in the very same enviornment. I wanted to freeze a lake so I turned to my left and a house was there so I tried to erase it with my hand. I swept my hand from side to side, left to right as I thought to myself lake. The house disapeared and an ally way appeared like a smeared oil painiting in its place. As I approached and then walked through this ally way I thought to myslef that there would be a lake on the other side. As I got to the other side there was beautiful snow tiped mountains enclosing on a lake that was very large and the waters were extreamly choppy. The sun was out, and I had never felt so clear before. I could feel the fresh mountain air and I knew exactly what I was going to do. I kind of thought about how I would freeze the lake in my waking time early this month to give myself an idea for when I had the chance. So I looked at my hand and manifested an orb of power that was made of water and ice. It span in a circle and looked like something that would be out of Avatar The Last Air Bender series. I willed the orb higher out of my hands about 3 feet and I felt the power growing rapidly as I pulled my hand back and launched the orb into the lake. The orb entered the lake quickly and I willed it to explode. It blew up like a nuclear bomb and this gigantic wave came crashing at me. At this moment I told myself, "DUH" Freeze the damn thing! So I made the lake freeze instantly with my mind kind of laughing to my self that I almost crushed myslef with this massive wave. I hate iceskating so I slid around the top of this crazy choppy lake that was now frozen and kind of marveled at the appearance of the whole thing before I awoke.

I then fell back asleep imidiately and became Lucid in some place that looked like a Dave and Busters. I then tryed to think of another task and I went up to two DC's. They were two guys looked like they were freinds hanging out. I asked one of them who looked a little drunk and was laughing a lot, to chooses a number between 1 and 10. I thought 7 and he said 7. mmmm I wanted to stump this guy since I know its ultimately myself guesing. lol. I then asked him again to choose and I thought of 6. This time he answered 3 and then changed his mind and said 6. I laughed a bit and then woke up.
