So, I've had quite a few lucid dreams before, but I've just recently gotten into the habit of holding my nostrals together every so often to check if I can still breath. I thought it was a little bit silly until last night. I was sitting in my house, it was darker than usual. I plugged my nose just for the heck of it, and... was still breathing. "Woah, that was easy." I thought. I stood up, thinking about what I should do now. I stepped over to my bed to see if I would see myself laying there still. Unfortunetly I didn't, but my wife was in her place in the bed like usual. She woke up and asked me what I was doing, I told her dream character, I'm dreaming babe- just gonna try some stuff out. I wanted the entire room to light up, so I thought of LIGHT! The room didn't necissarily light up, but I looked to my right, and outside of the window it was a very- very bright day all of a sudden. I looked at my computer to notice if the writing was morphed, you know how they say that if you look at words in a dream and then look again- they won't be the same usually? That played a number on my brain, I looked at my computers texts and it was literally all hyroglyphs. lol. At first I was dissapointed because I wanted to check the tasks of the month of dreamviews, then I instantly remembered- that's stupid. I can't check real webpages in my dreams. (Haha) I walked over to my dresser and thought about what I wanted to do. My favorite form in any dream world is a feral beast so I decided to attempt a transformation. My hands turned into long claws and grew fur, but that was about it. For some reason my mind told me that it wasn't up for the full transformation at the moment so I decided to go outside. I flew up and phased through my roof. Once I was on the outside I noticed that I had gone too high. Sometimes when I become lucid in dreams, I dart off into the sky and it doesn't allow my mind to comprehend any of the landscape, so it loses my dream world and cuts off lucidity, so I feel back onto my roof and tried to focus. I was thinking of just sitting on my roof and meditating for a moment. I had the un-nerving feeling that i was almost out of time. I don't remember much after the roof, because shortly after that I had a false awakening where I woke up and told my wife I had a lucid dream, then wrote it down in my phone. Later I woke up and realized that I hadn't wrote it down in my phone, I was peaved. But altogether, I had a good night. I'm going to continue practicing reality checks from now on, definitly.
The final portion of the marathon was a DILD. I was trying to tell my mom about seeing my dad in the last dream, when I realized I was dreaming. I have nothing worth saying about this dream. After the last dream I was overwhelmed. I think I just flew around for a couple minutes and lost interest. there were some random scenes and interactions, but after the last dream nothing held much interest. Dur~3-5 minutes.
This was a WILD after I got up and used the rest room following part 2. This dream had a very emotional portion. I screwed around again with very basic LD stuff and randomly explored, but I will skip the basic stuff as it is taking me to liong to do my journal today. I ended up hanging out with a DC of my step dad and we were out riding bikes while I had fun moving the roads around and controlling traffic with TK and so on. At some point we went down a hill and a small crowd was looking at some thing. I stopped (bike disappeared) and examined it. It was crazy; a bunch of coral was growing out of a bench or something and a large bright pink spider was busily wrapping it all in a huge web. i called the DC of my step dad over and showed him. The graphics were astounding! I watched the spider for about a full minute as it hurried around and around encasing the live coral in a web. Of course coral do not live without water, but I knew it was a dream, so whatever, I was just getting off on how incredible the graphics were. The pink spider became a pink sea crab and the web became the out side of a giant fish tank and filled with sea water. A larger crowd had gathered. It was now just a wonderfully vivid coral reef tank. Someone put a hand on my shoulder. I must explain here about my father. my father was a internationally renowned expert on corral reef tanks. He was basically famous in that feild (such a small field, so maybe famous is not the word). My father died about 3 months ago, suddenly, in his sleep. I looked and it was my father who put his hand on my shoulder. He was just as vivid as the tank. I assumed he was just a DC at first. he said something like " I have created this for you. Every time you look into a reef tank, know that I am there." I said "Oh my god! Are you really here with me in this dream, dad?" he wrapped his arms around me in a hug, and it felt so real and life like, and exactly like it felt to hug him in real life (he was barrel chested). I thin I woke up or lost lucidity after this, but am not sure. Dur~ no idea, poor recall in parts, maybe 30 minutes?
This was a DEILD from part 1. I screwed around with flying aand exploring roof tops and basic stuff for awhile, This was a fairly long sequence, but most of the detail is confused. There was a section where I walked through a building and entered a mens public rest room, but a woman was in there. I figured this was a throuw back to odd dreams I had as a kid, based on shyness or something, plus maybe my body needed to pee. I turned and waked out. I ran into another woman and talked to her for a minute, but she seemed like a basic uninteresting DC. I was suddenly in the house belonging to my friend's parents, and a baby in a high chair had turned on a faucet which was overflowing a sink. i turned off the faucet, and went outside. It was lovely outside and the trees were real looking.I levitated in a cross legged yoga pose and fflew around for quite awhile. I explored the face of buildings in some quaint business district, but eventually got bored of that kind of stuff. I decided to challenge myself. I brought my body into clear focus. I was cross legged and levitating while moving forward. I started making magical hand gestures (mudras) while canting Nom Myoho Rengai Kio over and over. The hand gestures where vividly clear and the chanting was coming out as real audible sound. Eventually I decided to challenge myself even more. I started levitating up side down while moving forward down the street in a cross legged yoga pose while doing both the mudras and the mantras. This worked well and was kind of fun. While levitating down the road upside down and doing the other stuff, I had been using diffuse vision to keep the scene stable, by also keepingg awareness on the road. The awareness of the scene had degraded into just the branches of some trees flying by to create the scense of motion. As soon as I noticed that my head was brushing across the ground, and I decided to just land. I decided to allow my brain to randomly create a scene with no expectations, just to see what popped up. I was laying on the ground and stood up on a pleasent deserted country road with wooded rail fences and quaking aspen trees. I just took in the beauty of the scene for a minute, when I noticed a young boy watching me. He started to hurry off, but I wanted to see what the DC would say if I talked to him. I caught up with him. The DC told me "swimming in the cretetousis sea is very dangerous," What? He repeated that my plan to swim in the ancient see was very dangerous. OH! That was the dream task of the month! Hey thanks random little kid DC! I floated up and sure enough there was a sea shore. I walked into the calm water and explored an under the ocean world. I do not remember how long I played around under the sea, but maybe it could not have been more than 2 minutes, certainly not more than 5, but my recall is a bit confused at this point. I do vividly remember a portion of it. I was looking at small sea life, like minnows and plancton when something stirred in the sand and suprissed me. It was a vividly colored mix between a sea cucumber and maybe a lobster. It darted into a small opening in the reef. Other sea life started going into the opening. 3 other largist critters went in, but I only remember one was a giant herit crab with purple legs. I came up out of the water, to find a pirate ship. I decided to screw with the pirate ship, because this was supposed to be an ancient sea, and not a pirate dream. I flew above the scene and attempted to summon a giant lobster. Hundreds or thousands of large lobsters swarmed the ship. Itried again, and a true giant lobster came up from the sea and crushed the ship in its claws. Other minor scenes happened, and the dream eventually ended with me and two DCs having a picnic by the sea, eating lobsters. I remeber using TK to pull some peaches from a tree and we sat aand ate peaches for a couple minutes. I only mention this beacuse they were incredible! The juice ran down my chin and thee tecture was so real and the taste was close to as vivid as real peaches. Often dream food comes out bland, but not these peaches. Dur~30-45 minutes?
Wow! What a night! I have no idea why, but I basically stayed lucid for 6 hours, for 6 am until noon. It was not solid as I woke up 3 times during this period. I assume also that there must have been portions of normal sleep in there. I will journal it in 4 parts, because each time I woke up would be a distinct dream on to itself. I am going to cut the detail down to a minim and only hit high lights because of two things, I have work to do, and with so much time dreaming the recall becomes non-sequential and confusing. Part 1 contains a sequance of sexual scenes with some pretty blonde woman who was in my house. I think seeing a stranger in my house may have been the first cause of me becoming lucid. Basically I see a stranger, relize I am dreaming, and decide to fool around. I am troubled in that we can not seem to get good lubrication and it is holding up the sex acts, making everything akward. After a few minutes she is suddenly gone. I walk around inside the house and she is in the shower. I decide to try and continue the sex action, but again we run into the whole dry problem. I assume my body was trying to hump the bed or something that was sending confusing signals or some such thing. Eventually the woman DC gets sick of the akwardness and tells me to leave her alone. The dream progresses through fairly standard LD stuff like flying and exploring, and includes a few scenes inside the back area of a large store, but my recall is missing any good detail about what happened. I eventually end up outside and recognize the large street. I decide to do the task of the month, but forgot what it was! Damn, I walked out into the middle of the street and slowly spun in circles really bringing the details into focus, and trying to remember what the task was. I kind of woke up at this point and laid still in bed. I considered getting up and looking on DV for the task, but decided to do DEILD instead. Then the next dream started. Dur~30 min?
I am at a town house, other people my age are here too but I don't see anyone I recognize in real life. I look out the window and I see the beach and the ocean horizon. All of a sudden a storm hits. Water rises up very close to the window of the town house. We are all trapped inside. A tree falls and hits the window. The house has become rickety and eventually just plain old crazy. By leaning in a certain part of the house, it will cause the house to move entirely in that direction and thus change the layout of everything. This has happened a couple of times. The change is so wide that the floor would become the ceiling, which makes me 'fall' to the ceiling. I am like "Woooah!" and I hit the "floor" but am not hurt. . Then things seem to have become normal, this one kid that came in I asked him if he say how crazy the house was moving around from the outside. He laughed and shook his head to imply that he has seen it.
Non-dream Dream I could only remember bits and pieces of my dream(s) last night. I am at a strange resort with my wife and I am driving a boat. Nobody is speaking English. I am being forced to dance. We go to some island for 11 hours and play baseball there. It is now morning and we are laying out on the ship deck. The waitress is taking drink orders and I ask for a bloody Mary. The waitress makes fun of me and says that I should get a drink with alcohol (hmm). Next we are trying to surf and I am having trouble standing on the board. My cousins L&C are doing it easily and making fun of me. Possible explanations: Resort: I recently went on a vacation to an all inclusive resort. Nobody speaking English: My vacation was in Mexico. Forced to dance: I hate dancing.
I'm in a road and I see a girl. She's asian. She's filipina. I want to talk to her. I see that she's getting on a school bus and I want to maximize my chances of talking to her. But I don't want to leave where I am. So I get on the bus and she sits in the front, on left side where I sit 3 sits from the front on the right side. So now, I am trying to stop the bus by going to the front so I can get off. This was a bad idea, I thought. But now it's no use. As the bus is going, I try to remember where my destination is so I can walk back. From this point on, I try to remember where the bus is going. Where are we stopping? Then I try talking to the girl but it seems I got the wrong person. I look foward and there she was. All of the sudden, I hear a clash. We're now outside of the bus and an old man is trying to jump over the bus and fails. And he falls clipping his foot over the other side of the bus' roof. He laughs it off and gets back up. Then, we are not sitting in a room. A gym room. The cieling is high and the kids are listening. We are sitting a line formation. I look around and see mostly girls in this room. It seems like are going to do tumbling. In the background, near the side of the room, I spot two climb-able ropes. You know, the ones where you climb up, touch the pad and climb down. As I walk around, I spot these two girls. I sit down. One of these girls ask this girl if she wants to see the tattoo she got on her left breast. She doesn't tell me to come so I reply "I've seen a breast, you know." I look around somemore and I see a girl climbing the very-right rope and going down. I go there. Look up. And start climbing. It seems easy. My hands easily swift. But at the top, I see a button. I cannot reach it for some reason. My arms will not budge. So I go down. As I go down, I feel like the gravity is not as strong as I once thought. It feels like I'm in zero gravity. It takes a while for me to go down until when I get near the bottom, it really sets in and I start to drop. I climb again and I reach the top. Once again, my arms will not budge so I touch the top button with my the top of my head. I then gently glide down becuase of the gravity. As soon I get down, I'm handed a notepad with 4 other classes names and rows next to it. Attraction is the only one I can remember. The only guy name I can remember? Dejan. It was a weird dream.
WTF Starts off. I am visiting an internet celebrity most well known for his movie reviews as The Nostalgia Critic. I am in his house wandering around. I think i find him for a few moments but.. The dream shifts around and I'm at another strange house. in the back of my mind there is a movie i am thinking about where a strange mixture forms something like black oil that bubbles.. and if it gets on you, even one drop, it first eats away at your skin slowly, second you turn into a zombie like thing and can cause the same effects to people you touch, near the end you crumble into a pile of blackish grey goo. I am monitoring the people in the house making sure they don't accidentally create this stuff and get infected by it . Twice i see this substance form in the presence of people, and twice i tell them, "Hey don't touych that stuff, don't get one drop on you." what does one guy do? HE effing touches it and a patch on his hand starts going grey... What a moron, maybe I should have said, "Make sure you rub that stuff all over you and it will give you everlasting life." No... maybe then he would have taken it anyway. The other guy is randomly walking by when the substance bubbles and a drop falls on his arm and his arm begins going grey. I leave the house to escape the chaos... and seem to forget about it. There is a random dream girl by a tree. I become semi lucid randomly... Honestly NOTHING makes me lucid I just become lucid for no reason in most of my lucids. I jump up and fly around a bit. Then over her. Then i land in front of her and kiss her. Then the dream ends. J finds me. This is one of those dreams which I hate waking up from. There is a waking life backstory to this to which I will summarize. There was a girl from work earlier in the summer who was kind of flirting with me. She had to change jobs, so I gave her a way to get a hold of me, I gave her my facebook, to which she said, "I'll contact you tonight." She, of course, did not. Few days later I show up to work two hours early... I see her leaving the store. I wait a while and decide to check out staples. and as I'm there she is at the store... but never facing me and always with her back turned. I mean... did she turn me down by not contacting and now that I've randomly, by fate, have run into her, she is avoiding the issue by turning around hoping I won't recognize the back of her head? Or is she stalking me, and being a bit of a coward? I dunno. it's just weird so I leave. A week later her name starts showing up on my facebook suggestions. So she looked me up? I message her and she doesn't reply. And just recently I've decided to move away and change jobs. I only have a week left... crappy job, no steady girl, just weird game playing girls... Extremely annoying family... what would you do? so yeah I'm moving. Then I get THIS dream: I am in a random house that appears to be out in the country. I check the mail box (the box that snail mail comes in but now only usually contains bills and annoying advertisements) and I have a package from Her. on it.. it says "Do not open. It's just garbage. nothing but dirt and paper" Why would she send me that? IDK. But I open it anyway... she did after all send it to me. The first thing I pull out of the large envelope is one of the lamest cliches ever... A paper from a Wal Mart brochure... with some dust on it. What the hell? There is more dirt and paper.. but I just know there's more to this package. I sift through it contents and produce a key. OKAY... I look to the yard and see... A small mobile home trailer. From her? Well as it turns out they key just happens to open the door. I peek in and what I see startles me. In it is various things and items I have wanted all my life. Random DVDs froms tar trek, Books by Stephen king. other random stuff. It's like she went through my facebook page and bought me a bunch of stuff based on that. and sent it to me in a trailer... Wierd. This girl has some serious issues.. but it's kind of sweet. Anyway There is random dream friend DC in the yard and I show him the trailer. Then i go around town. I am moving away and bragging to people about my new trailer. It's kind of funny. So I move? I dunno I'm at wal mart again. And she goes into the backroom with her vest on... I thought she quit. I walk by the office and notice Lou at the computer... Didn't she notice Jen walking in. or did she get her job back? So jen is in the lunch room wandering nervously behind me. I give a come hither motion with my finger and she comes over with a smile, pretending she just didn't send me some wierd gift... I say, "J... The trailer. why did you..." She just starts crying. and she is saying, "I'm sory I'm so sorry about that I.." I just hug her. Yeah she's being a bit wierd and creepy. But she did all of that for me... all of it. and I just can't help but accept it. I forgive her. I kiss some part of her forehead? her head is bent down. It's all very touching. The dream moves on. and I am walking with her and Dave from work. I am shopping and she is just following me around the rest of the dream looking happy. I wonder if I am walking too distant from her. It's been a long time since I've been in a relationship so I am worrying if i am being too distant all of a sudden. We go intoa random town with interesting looking houses. Then she watches me buyy random things like peanut butter. then I woke up.. Damn.... Damn...
09-12-2012 -- [Not much going on in the dream world for the most part, for the last week or so, but couldn't sleep well last night, woke a lot, and tons of dream bits. Most didn't come out long enough or detailed enough to post as full dreams, or at least I can't remember enough.] Trying to use the toilet at the Hickory house (or perhaps in the back yard) but something is wrong. A part in the tank that controls refilling and flushing, but resembles a plunger, has stretched and broke, so the toilet is no longer working right. I pull out the broken part, that fits on the rest largely like a sleeve, and it comes off easy, and ought to be easy to replace. About that time, mom comes on the scene, says I have done it wrong, the entire thing needs to come out and be replaced, and I've damaged everything horribly. I try to explain that the part that was broken and which I removed was very easy to take out, and should be easy to replace, but even if the entire thing has to be replaced, The broken part I took out couldn't cause any other damage, and it is no big deal. She won't listen, yells and screams, tells me to never try and fix anything in the house again, or even touch anything in the house again, and then in practically the next breath, orders me to fix other stuff in the bathroom. I have had enough, and tell her no. I am leaving. She screams I am not, and tries to lock me in the house. I force my way out the door, and jog away from her. Oddly enough, though she is very heavy, she manages to keep up with me, and I just barely stay out of her grasp. Neither of us seems to know how she keeps up with me, except anger, and so I am running across streets, and turning around and dodging. I try to catch a bus, but mom is too lose, so I start running down Crescent, instead, heading down toward Marshall. Somehow she got trapped in crowds around the Braille Institute, and I manage to get some distance between us. As I reach about the nursery, there is a mother, daughter and baby in carriage that spot me, spot mom chasing after me, and decide to interfere. They start chasing after me as well, Though I have been running toward Marshall, I end up in Smith's Food King, the mother still chasing after me, trying to maintain sight so she can lead my mother to me. I finally have enough, call for the manager of the store, and explain I don't know this lady, but she is stalking me. He takes me in the back, away from her, and is talking about keeping us separated, but I just rush out the loading docks at the back of the store, and figure I'll escape that way. I circle behind the store to a chain link fence that I can climb and escape the area, just to find the mother is now there with her husband and an entire second family, and they are all trying to catch me. They refuse to understand my mom was the one who was wrong in this situation, and are determined to catch me and help punish me, regardless. I can't even get far enough away to call Bonnie C for a ride to try and get out of the area. Lousy dream! --- Most of this is missing, but a couple of the cooler bits were here, so ... I am in a sort of stadium, watching some sort of sport, perhaps water polo or something unusual like that. Along with the scoreboard showing the score, there is another one showing the purchase of food, drinks and souvenirs. And as the bars on these fill up, and then reset, I can claim a portion of the funds brought in. But they are moving very slowly, and I can see a huge amount of stuff being bought or sold. I wander around to try and figure out what is going on. At first I think scans as things are thrown away aren't reading properly, but eventually I realize I only get the partial credit for the stuff sold from one food stand, one drink stand, and two souvenir stands, so what I have to do is attract more attention to my stands, to get more sales there, and earn more money. Soon I find myself back at the table I had been watching things from. But now there is a hint of wrestling, a hint of a balloon convention, and slowly more than a hint of a comic book convention. The person sitting across the table from me is Peter David, and though I have no idea what we have been talking about, he is passing me an autographed dragon shirt that he is giving to me because he has enjoyed our conversation. He says it is only a 2X, which wouldn't normally fit me, but he also says it is a very large 2X, and since we're both large guys and it fits him ... it fits, and I thank him for the great souvenir. --- I am at the Adventurers Club on a very slow night, very early in the evening, standing in the main salon. The doors to the library are open for seating for the first show, but there is nobody here but me and maybe one or two others. I keep catching sight of actors heading backstage to animate wall characters to announce shows and such, but they keep noticing there is nobody to announce to, and stop themselves after they've barely begun, so I'm missing all the great shows. Pretty sure I spotted Graham as Hathaway for a moment. --- Somehow in a shopping mall, being chased by aliens and taken prisoner of a sort. Am being handcuffed or led around, and am just trying to figure out what is going on. Was rather cool and interesting, except none of it stays in memory, so this fragment is mostly worthless to express it. --- Am on a bus riding along, listening to people talking behind me. One of them seems somehow familiar, and I think I know him from somewhere, so am mentioning stuff connected to Disney or something. He just thinks I am nuts. Then he says something about Mammoth Cave, and I finally place him. His name is Jim something, and he wrote a small book I read about the cave (not Jim Borden, and not one of Roger Brucker's books, but a book that only exists in this dream). I tell him I recognize him now, loved his book, and wrote him a letter about it a few weeks before. He remembers my letter, and now we're kind of friends. This brings into my mind the outline of a dream I can remember having recently, about a combination of the regular dreams I used to have that were a cross between Brookhurst moon park and Tom Sawyer's Island, and Mammoth Cave, with exploring small, local passageways, and trying to find lost connections that lead into much larger sections of the cave. [In the dream it was a dream I was remembering. In real life, I don't know if it was a real dream I had sometime recently, or was created from whole cloth within this dream.] Soon most of the passengers have gotten off the bus, and we're at another stop where Graham Murphy is getting off the bus. As soon as he steps out in front of his house, he is surrounded by people (including a quartet dressed up as Disney Carolers) and starts leading them in Christmas carols. He seems to sing that style of song quite well. It is very nice. --- Seems like there should be one more fragment here, but can't remember it now. If it comes back, I may edit this to add it.
He visited me in my dorm room and we were having fun, and it was going to lead to sex. Audrey was my roommate and I felt bad because I forgot she was in there, and halfway through us giggling and being noisy she left. However, I talked to her about it later and she said she honestly didn't care. Then Ryan's girlfriend broke up with him, and he was super sad so I went to support him. It was selfish support though, because I just want to get with him. I left Todd, and i was really embarrassed he was in my room. I didn't want anyone to know, because I didn't want to be labeled as a slut and I didn't want to kill my chances with Ryan. Then I went back to the room, and he was on fb chat. He was crying and looking at his old gf's page. Weird sauce.
Was at a national convention and Romney and some other guy were running for president. I wanted to vote for Romney. But then he sat down and his little folding chair fell from under him and it set off a domino effect of everyone's folding chairs falling over. It was so fucking funny and everyone's faces were so surprised and hilarious. I was laughing really hard.
Went to a house in Hawaii with the Hallgrens. They had one on Oahu and one on Maui, and since the one on Oahu already had a ton of people at it, Carly and I stayed at the Maui house. I remember driving on a cute motorcycle to get to the house, and even though it was just a one seater, I definitely had someone on the back. I think it was Gaby. Michael Burley was there, and he was older and had a bunch of 20-somethings friends there. I remember talking to a pretty girl, and she had a motorcycle too and we talked about ours. I think all of us were crocheting hats for some reason. That's pretty much all I remember.
Had a dream last night about coming home for a school break. I remember driving back from Washington with Morgan, and her friend was in the car with us. The next thing I remember is that I'm home, but I totally avoid seeing my parents like the plague. I get the feeling that something really bad is going to happen if I see them. I instantly go to find Matthew. When I find him, I run and jump into his arms and we passionately make out Feels really good, and I feel a wave of relief wash over me. We are hanging out with Morgan and Patrick and DJ again, and I'm really happy. He just holds my hand and lets me know he cares. I wake up two days later, and I had just been camping with Matthew. We walk into a supermarket, and he had just gotten out of track practice or something. He hugs me and tells me that he's so happy to spend time with me, but he knows that my energy isn't completely genuine and that he can tell I'm sad. He says that I can cry with him any time. All the sudden, I feel a ton of emotions all at once and just start crying with him holding me in the middle of the supermarket. But it doesn't necessarily feel sad, it just feels relieving to have someone hold me while I cry. It felt good. I think this totally relates to the fact that I've been missing Matt a lot and I want to be with him. Also, I am having a hard time relating to people at college because of the lack of sobriety, so my emotions have been pent up. I need to find an outlet in order to release my emotions.
I was in some weird entertainment building (food out front, shows inside) and I was with my brother J. He was asking me to take pictures of this performance which involved a girl playing a violin and one or two people dancing to it. The camera was impossible to focus, and the buttons were not reacting how they should. After taking a few pictures of the door frame or something else on accident, I gave the camera back to my brother. Later, outside the building, I was at one of the dinner tables and a group next to us had left some huge potato fries on their plates, and I was going to eat them. But the waiters told me not to, like I could get sick. But really they just wanted me to spend money. Jerks.
