      2x a dMemberN my bed

      ~

      I saw different colored block letters on my ceiling--all capital letters. I want to say I knew I was dreaming, but I was not lucid; I thought about the fact that I was dreaming though. At this time I also saw a screen showing an x and y axis of basically a single white pixels width. I was trying to figure out how to make a game.

      My idea was that a point would show up in a quadrant, and you had to shoot it. Points would continue showing up in all the quadrants for you to shoot.

      I thought this would be a little hard to keep up with as a player, so I thought I would design it so that the points would appear in the quadrants in order, quadrant 1 then 2 etc... This would allow them to appear at an increasingly fast pace, but the player could anticipate their appearance and get into a rhythm shooting them.

      I didn't like the idea that much in my dream, nor when I woke up. Maybe that's why I didn't put more energy into it.

    2. Return Of The Mall School, Hunted Down, Reconnecting With Old Friends

      by , 02-21-2012 at 06:35 PM
      Welp, I had two lucids last night! My recall was kind of crappy because of smoking weed during the day, which I'm definitely taking a break from again because it's negatively effecting my dreaming. :T But I did smoke calea too right before bed and that increased the vividness of what I do remember, so at least there's that. Before falling asleep, I started off the night with some meditation, and I tried to push the idea into my head that I would be lucid and that I was looking for Link, preferably at school. I'm not sure how much progress I made on the latter since there are a few dreams I can't remember at least. :\ But at least the former worked!

      #1 - Return Of The Mall School [Non-Lucid]

      This one starts out at a mall school, a thing I usually often get in dreams where gigantic malls are interpreted as schools (with individual stores as classrooms and stuff like that), but actually haven't had in quite a while now. I see this one annoying kid from high school walking around and want to avoid him so I go into the bathroom. While I'm there I think I have to pee, but I decide not to. I remember that I'm supposed to be leaving school with M so I walk out and see this girl L and another girl who's hazy in my memory talking about me. I suddenly start sliding on the floor, something which I've noticed I've been doing a lot lately in dreams, like I'll purposefully slide myself on the ground and ride the slide over some really long distance as if it's just some normal thing to do, and I even have good steering during it. So I do that and end up over at Barney from How I Met Your Mother, and I think I became Robin at this point. (And I just realized that we're in a mall, which is funny if you watch the show. ) We just start making jokes and walk out of the mall school and end up at my car, and we get in to drive off but then the dream starts fading and I wake up.

      #2 - Hunted Down [DILD]

      This one is rather bizarre. Though some of it seems almost first-person at times, I'm pretty sure the whole thing was actually third-person. So there are these two guys on a plane, and the plane crashes into a cloud (yes, a cloud) that turns out to actually be a mirror that was just floating and reflecting other clouds. Both guys jump out of the plane trying to hit the water below (they're flying over the ocean or something, but there are also lots of glaciers and the like, so maybe around Antarctica?). One of the guys hits the ice too hard though and doesn't make it. The other guy is swimming around in the freezing water and then someone comes down and is scouting for them, which makes the guy think that this was no accident and they were being hunted. So the guy starts acting like he's dead and just floating in the water, and he almost gets away with it but then the scout figures him out, so he jumps out of the water and starts running forward with the guy chasing after him with a gatling gun. Suddenly the scene changes back the mall school's food court, and the scout is firing like crazy but the guy easily dodges it all and people standing around are stunned. Then I think the dream started falling apart because I'm back at home, but still third-person but without anyone to see, my perspective is just quickly bouncing around my living room. I became lucid during this part, which was very odd. I remember thinking something about games in relation to what was going on... but unfortunately that's the least vivid part of the dream in my memory because after that I had a false awakening where I managed to write down every single part leading up to that, then woke up for real and had to write the first part down again out of fear I would forget it so the lucid part became really hazy.

      Must. Start. Doing. RCs.

      #3 - Reconnecting With Old Friends [DILD]

      This one is practically a fragment, but I did become lucid for it. I remember watching people playing video games in my house, and then I noticed that our old cat Karma was there. She disappeared (died most likely, she was really old) when I was in like second grade I think, and I really missed her. She also seemed younger than I ever saw her and maybe meshed with some properties of Miu, our most recent cat but who also disappeared around a year and a half ago. They really were similar in some ways and my mom frequently accidentally called her Karma. I really felt like they were both there again in this one dream cat and I became lucid when I felt their presence, so I just pet her for a minute and played around with her until something else grabbed my attention and I lost lucidity. I don't really remember what happened after that, but I really enjoyed this dream anyway.

      Fragment - Waiting to hang out with J but at my house, though I remember walking up the staircases at his apartment complex....

      So that's it for this night. I'm not going to smoke any weed today, so hopefully I'll remember more tonight!
    3. Hiding in the forest

      by , 02-21-2012 at 05:52 PM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I was in a forest with my language arts class, and everyone was hiding. I believe we were playing some kind of hide and seek game. I couldn't find any place to hide, so I lifted up a tree trunk to see that it was made of plastic, and hollow on the inside. I jumped in and closed the top. Then I fell over, and my teacher came over and found me.

    4. Stamping images on Lady's Ass, Riding Bicycle and Finding Kaomea?, In Car, Alyzarin's Garden??

      Stamping images on Lady's Ass, Riding Bicycle and Finding Kaomea?, In Car, Alyzarin's Garden?

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I'm still looking for Kaomea, but I'm also looking for Alyzarin. Funny thing is....I had a dream where I SWEAR she was there (Kaomea).

      The other dream on the other hand....I don't know if it was Alyzarin or not, but damn did I wake up with an erection. O.O

      Dream 1: Stamping images on Lady's Ass

      Note: I just say it was a threesome because it seemed like I was recalling what happened AFTER we did whatever we did. Kind of like just cuddling and admiring this random woman's ass

      I was in bed with some lady, I couldn't get her facial features, all I saw was her ass, I think she was standing up wanting to get her butt stamped with some kind of logos (Like wtf lol, this doesn't make sense, it looked like a pedobear logo, but it's too small to assume about that lol). There was some other random dude, but I don't know what he was doing, he was probably just there to look or something.



      I'm wondering why the hell she wants that, but I see stamp somewhere near the bed, and I think me or the guy joining in on the fun just start stamping, but the logos weren't showing up (thank goodness it wasn't a pedobear logo ).

      Then someone comes in the room, and when I look quickly to see how it was, I saw that we were doing this weird scene near some place that looked like it was going to be a garden!

      Hajemimashite, Namae wa Seed desu-glass-wall-small-house-simple-red-exterior-design-germany.jpg

      There was this DC that looks like he's in his 30's, and he comes in and sees what we're doing I think. I quickly try to hide my naked body (I think it's naked) with a blanket. I'm not too sure on what happened next, except that the same person who came was apparently going to be interviewed or asked a few questions.

      I'm wondering why would he be asked questions after the questionable stamping of me putting barely noticeable logos of the something....or maybe it was the other guy who did the stamping....yeah I think it was the guy stamping the girls ass.

      Even though we were inside a room, looking beyond the glass structure of the entrance (glass door and everything), the ground was brown with stone and everything. The leaves of the trees were very green and lively.

      To be honest, I think I may have been closer to finding Alyzarin in this dream if I was lucid, but these are dreams from NON-REM most likely since I woke up around 4:45 AM (slept around 12:45 AM, but probably went into deep sleep around 1:30 AM I bet).

      Dream 2: Riding my Bicycle in Circles and Finding Kaomea again?

      I was riding my bicycle in circles. This dream, like the one above, is vivid (I'm wondering the reason why it's vivid is because Alyzarin smoked some stuff to help her make them clearer ....probably just me entering the deeper stages of REM, but I'll still be open-minded to that possibility).

      The environment represented the University I'm in, and I believe I'm at a dead end when I'm riding the bicycle. I turn around and see a figure that might look like Kaomea, but my memory of the facial features was hazy
      (but with shared dreaming attempts, I think it's better to feel their energy signature rather than speculating on what they look like).

      Hajemimashite, Namae wa Seed desu-dream-pic.jpg

      I don't know what I did after, but apparently I saw a glance of some meeting of random people asking how much of their time they spend working or going to class.

      I think most said they did 75% college work and 25% in having a job
      (but I'm not too sure on those percentages, I just believe it could've been related to Kaomea).

      Dream 3: Study Hall in High SChool

      I'm in a school setting again, and it feels just like the Study Hall class I took as a Senior my first semester in Mayde Creek High School. I'm near the entrance of the room, and it looks almost exactly like the class room structure. I'm talking with random DCs that I can't really pick up on facial features, but they were trying to tell me how to find someone.

      (Now that I think about it, they were probably showing me how to find Alyzarin....since this is the first time in a while since I had a school related dream....but I'll still be open to the possibility that this dream was just an association with waking life....but again...I feel it was created by my intention to find Alyzarin).

      I'm trying to pay attention to where they were pointing and explaining, but they were pretty much gave useless information, or maybe it was me not paying attention. I turn my back to see the small window on the classroom door to see if anyone was there, but I don't think I saw anyone.

      Then I turn back to the classroom again, and I try to move my head and neck to see who's in front of the class (the seating arrangement was where the desks where facing opposite of the classroom door).

      I know I saw random DCs, but it was too bland and simple for me to really know they're faces.


      Dream 4: Mother is Driving (DILD)

      I'm inside a car with my mother, and she's driving. Eventually, I know that I'm dreaming after we argue over trivial things (couldn't remember them, probably wasn't even an argument in the first place), and I tried to move, but I wanted to just looks at the traffic ahead of us. I saw the sign that signals people to walk or stop, but the dream starts to fade away because I stared too much at the view for too long.



      But there was NO way in hell I was going to fail this time....I woke up, but I believe my eyes were closed....I was sort of dissapointed that I actually knew I was dreaming, but I didn't want to move. It was one of those moments where you just sit and wonder....and you're like...holy $$$$. But I wasn't excited from this dream inside the car with my mother, I just had a realization

      Dream 5: Appering Inside Alyzarin's House? (WILD or DEILD)

      Again, this could be a WILD, but it was most likely a DEILD since I don't remember waking up again after Dream 4 to do a successful WILD. I apologize for the rambling, but I'm just PUMPED UP and excited from this!

      (I think the reason why I rarely became lucid in my dreams, it wasn't the fact that I just sucked, it's just that I didn't stay up long enough for the WBTB...I stayed about for about an hour and 45 minutes before going back to sleep....well....at least I know the rough estimate to be aware of my dreams quickly now!)

      And I know this dream wasn't pretentious since it's still lingering in my mind, and I sure as hell knew I was lucid because of the nose plug RC.

      I remain still, seeing the black of my eyes, still in the state of being half awake/sleep from the previous dream.

      I see images rushing through my head, and I swore I saw an image from a character from the avatar, and I heard music playing as well, and it sounded familiar like the video below. (The guy at 18 seconds to 19 seconds....and 38 seconds until the end of the video is part of what I experience (not exact, but it's a pretty accurate experience I had)...




      As I'm seeing more images flash before my eyes, I see this yellow background, and it turns into this wormhole kind of structure, and I'm just sliding along for the ride to enter the dream state.

      But before I'm literally being pulled into this wormhole/blackhole/whatever...for some reason, I said to myself "Alyzarin's Garden....Alyzarin's Garden....Alyzarin's Garden..."

      (We had the intention of meeting each other in a school related dream, but something just came over me that time, but I just went with whatever thought was in my mind to just go with the Garden thing...sorry about that Alyzarin!)

      Anyway, I'm being grabbed into the dream state, and then I wake up...but it's a False Awakening. I'm pretty sure I know I'm dreaming, but I just wanted to make sure since my eyes immediately opened (I wasn't able to gradually open them).

      I let myself linger a little bit while in bed to speculate, and then I decided to get up. I do a nose plug RC, and I'm breathing through. Definitely dreaming! YES!

      I stay calm surprisingly
      (since I'm long overdue for a lucid dream), and I'm looking around my bed a little bit in the dark, trying to take in th environment and stabilize the dream (but I knew I should've done more stabilization) I'm floating a little bit, and then I reach the ground (I wonder if this was an OBE/AP...since I'm usually always on the ground when lucid).

      I open the door in my bedroom, and I'm in this area that is very unfamiliar to me. The wooden floors had that shiny wooden polish to it, there were several windows to my right that helped me realize it's still night time or just early morning for me being inside this house.

      I think I even see a fancy white fireplace to the left of me as well, but I didn't pay too much attention to this.

      Hajemimashite, Namae wa Seed desu-white%252bfireplace%252bwith%252boval%252bmirror.jpg
      I had a hunch that I was inside of a house where there was a garden outside. I saw one of those fancy marble statues of some figure that I can't depict too well. I'm still wondering where the heck I am, and I just look around for a little while.

      Hajemimashite, Namae wa Seed desu-national-memorial-park-pieta-statue.jpg

      Then I decided to open the door in front of me to see to verify that I'm dreaming and am in someone's house. I open the door slowly, and I see the backyard of someone's house.

      The grass is really green and clean, but I didn't pay too much attention because the moment I opened the door, the alarm initiated, and it sounds just like the one in the other house I use to live in for vacation before heading to college.



      I quickly go towards the alarm, trying not to panic too much, so I thought that since this sound is familiar, obviously the code I use to deactivate it would work.

      Nothing works, I even tried switching the last two entries in deactivating the alarm, but NOTHING works!

      That's when I started to panic.....I'm definitely in someone's house. It feels quiet too, like no one is in the house. I didn't feel afraid or anything, it's just this alarm, and me wondering what I'm going to do in order to deactivate it that woke me up slowly.

      I think when I was thinking about going to Alyzarin' Garden, my mind honestly wanted me to be transported there, but just inside of her house (possibly)...I guess it's up to Alyzarin to see if she had a similar experience.

      But the backyard garden itself would've been a pretty nice environment to look at. I felt as if I was the only person in this setting, which would've been perfect for a potential shared dreaming with Alyzarin....oh well. Next time!

      Hopefully I can have another success with the WBTB by staying up for a while. Just have to sleep earlier.

    5. Lucid fragment

      by , 02-21-2012 at 12:58 PM
      I tried the WBTB-WILD and I included counting. This was not the best monring for lucid dreams, becuase I could not concentrait. I would get lost in random thoughts before making it to twenty lmost every time.

      When I did fall asleep,I had very vauge non lucids. After a few non lucids, I foud myself sitting in my computer room's chair. I found myself slightly puzzled by this. I was not thinking clearly, becuase it was not a good WILD.

      I turned around and saw my dead dog Cody, who is not functioning as a dream sign for me. I looked at him and realized that I was dreaming, so I called him over to get a petting. I started trying to remember my objective, but I soon woke up and could not get back into the dream becuase I moved to much.

    6. Partially Lucid, with DC interactions!

      I had my first partially Lucid dream last night, since joining this website!

      Unfortunately I really can't remember that much about it though. However I certainly want to put down what I do remember. I was talking to the DC's, and saying that I was dreaming, and asking if they knew that this was a dream! I spun in circles, so I wouldn't lose the dream and could feel my awareness kick in.

      Then they answered, seeming to know, and all started rubbing their hands, spinning in circles and touching things as though they were the ones who'd wake!

    7. stony nap

      by , 02-21-2012 at 05:31 AM (salty)
      I fall asleep I am very stoned
      I am floating through other peoples minds and inner dialogues.
      I am going through their lust
      They think of decisions they make which only bring more suffering
      I tell them to act otherwise
      They seem to laugh and take pride in their foolish decisions
      I forget who I am
      I am waking up trying to figure out who I am or the meaning of the world I exist in knowing that I'm here for some reason I cannot remember
      Ideas and concepts come together and I begin to remember
      I am used to forgetting who I am it doesn't surprise me

      #9

      Me and a few others all travel across the world, not to see the world but because we are stealing basically goody bags from the planes. The planes would for some reason land outside the airport and we would sneak out of the plane, attach a bomb to a compartment, and blow the inside black backpack out. This happened three times with us not even pausing in the country we were in. Then the fourth time something went wrong I think Noah lost his backpack outside, and we all got super spooked and had to lay low. I remember going back to my seat on the plane and frantically searching through everything I had sure that something was going to set off the alarms at the airport, but the actual airport was a breeze. So we stayed in a hotel room and we all were having a good time like it was a vacation. Me and Ryan met this girl and I was flirting with her and it was working but the girl wanted me to go spend a day with her and her mom, and I wanted to chill at her house and watch movies (if you know what I mean). But she seemed to guess my intentions and said she wasn't ready for that. I think I just left after that (I'm a dick in my dreams) and went back to the hotel. We met some people at the hotel and went somewhere to party with them. One guy and girl were trying to talk to me but it was entirely drunk/high mumbo jumbo. Everybody was getting drunk and high, but for some reason I wasn't. I remember walking back to the hotel and Drew was yelling at his girlfriend because she was accusing him of something. The next day we all took a run around the city we were in (Was not america, but I don't think it ever was dubbed anything in the dream) I met a man while I was running who was also running and we began to freestyle while we ran (haha). This lasted until I woke up.

    9. the desert

      by , 02-21-2012 at 02:09 AM
      I am at a youth group. It finishes up and I have a piece of paper from it. I put it in my pocket. I get a ride from my friends brothers friends. Their names are Brandon and Luke. Luke is muscular and has a shaved head. Brandon is scrawny and has dreadlocks. They drove us into these woods with rocks and a small shed around it. We all sit on rocks. They are doing something funny I can't remember exactly what it was. There were more people there too. These 2 chicks were there that left. They weren't that attractive. I remember thinking that I can get some weed from these guys but I don't ask. I was with two of my other friends Ryan and Alex. The woods were a mix of desert and forest, if that makes sense. There was lots of sand and cactus's around but there were also trees everywhere. the rocks were big and you could easily sit on them. They looked like ones you would find in the desert.

    10. 2-20-12 Nap

      by , 02-21-2012 at 12:29 AM
      I took a nap this after noon since my husband was home and I had gotten up early to take my grandma to the doctor. At the Doctors office my grandma and I had a conversation about a dream she had about fixing up her house. I told her the dream sounded awesome, but her was so old, I really hoped that she would consider selling it when she had paid off enough of it that she could sell it and break even on what she still owes. I'm pretty positive that's where the begging of this dream came from, lol. (yeah, my husband and I live with my grandmother. She wasn't able to make her house payments on her own, but was unwilling to move out bc she still owed more than the house was worth and didn't want her credit ruined. We moved in to help her pay her bills and fix the house because it's from the 40s and whoever built it and lived in it before us took every shortcut they could :/ plus it's old, so age is wearing it down as well. We dislike this house, so every now and then we all want to find something better, it just never gets past the planning stages before Grandma changes her mind.)

      I dream that I am at the computer, looking at houses online. I see one that is priced really cheap and looks to be perfect for our family. I'm looking at a picture of this house online, and suddenly I'm sucked into the computer, and Grandma and the kids and I are standing right there in front of the house. We go up to knock on the door and see if we can tour it, but then notice a big "SOLD" sign in the yard. There are several other houses nearby for sale though. We decide to check some of them out. We walk past one that's brick and the doorways are shaped like Nintendo characters (I recognized Toad and Mario) but we don't go look at it because it's obvious it's outside of our price range. We see another smaller house that's green and walk up to it. Grandma tries the door and it's unlocked, so we go inside to look at it. Immediately I realize someone must still live there because it had all the signs of a well lived in house. Dishes in the sink., bills on the table, etc. I tell Grandma we shouldn't be in there, and she says nonsense, the door was unlocked so people interested in the house can look around and decide what they think. There's a paper on display on the counter that talks about the house, and lists the estimated monthly payment for the house. The amount is $1,226. I think to myself that is about how much we're putting into the house we're in right now, and this house is much newer and won't need all the repairs the one we live in does on a monthly basis. My little girl runs past me carrying my My Little Pony figurines (yes, I happen to watch the show with her. My husband doesn't want her to have "all those little pieces to scatter around" so I bought pony figures for myself, and just give them to her to play with one at a time to get around his rule ~_^) I chase after her down the hall and into a child's bedroom. There's a toy box in there, and my son who followed us imediatly dumps it over spilling out all the toys to play with. I start feeling really exasperated thinking they are making such a mess and it's not their toys and we shouldn't be there, and what will happen when the owners get home and find strangers in their house?! I'm trying to clean up, and I realize that every single pony we own is in the floor as well. I think to myself there is no way my daughter carried that many ponies in all by herself because I can't carry them all myself, and I'm mush bigger than her. I order the children to clean up because these are not their toys. We start cleaning up but I'm torn, wondering if all these ponies are ours, or is only a couple are, and how am I going to tell our ponies from someone else's ponies? I don't even know which ones she brought. I grab the big ponies and carry them to the car. Then I notice an old man and an old woman talking to my grandmother. It's their house, and they're happy to have someone looking at it as they have been trying to sell it for a long time. They tell me not to worry about the mess, and that I have lovely children. I thank them, but tell them I don't feel like my kids need to learn that it's OK to play with other peoples toys without asking first, that's why they are in trouble. Then I ask if the older couple know if the toy box in the child's room should have pony toys in it or not? They assure me that oh no, they only have a grandson, he doesn't play with my little pony toys. So I know all the ponies belong to my daughter. I collect the last of them (several tiny McDonald's Happy Meal pony toys) and throw them in the back of our "car" that has suddenly become a black SUV. Then I step out back to see what the back of the house looks like as Grandma is showing the kids off to the older couple. The back of the house shows it's three levels, and on a lake. Suddenly the dream zooms out as if I am on the lake looking at the house, then the dream shifts and feels like a different dream.

      Part Two, same dream, or not?: I'm on the lake where my dad's family has a lake cabin. I'm on a boat of some kind, not sure if it's a jet ski or a pontoon, and I'm at the damn. Instead of the usual big open area of water, the area around the damn is roped off and there are several floating stalls in the roped off area. It's like an on water flea market, and totally awesome I jump off the boat and swim forwards towards the floating flea market. I get there and I see two visions, what the flea market looks like now, and what it probably looks like when it's full, as if I'm remembering it somehow. Then the full market part faded and it was back to being half empty. I swim up to a stall that looks familiar. It's a tattoo stand of some kind, offering beachy fare tattoos. Not the permanent kind, but the Henna ones, as well as all kinds of t-shirts and necklaces and stuff you'd expect to see at the beach, not in the middle of the lake in the middle of nowhere, lol. There's a guy with blond hair smiling at me from the floating booth. He squats down while I pull myself up onto the floating platform. He's really happy to see me, and I'm really happy to see him. During the dream I don't think about his name or anything. I'm sure I've known him forever, and I'm just so glad to be there and hang out with him that nothing else matters. I'm pretty sure looking back, he was K. He looked like him, maybe with frizzier hair and curlier, but the lake tends to do that to hair He asks me if I came to help him run the shop, and I tell him not today, I'm still not good enough at Drawing to trust myself to do Henna tattoos. He laughs and tells me that as long as I wipe off my mistakes quickly, the henna won't stain the skin, it takes a while for it to bond. I'm still uncomfortable with the idea. He asks me if I'll at least go for a swim with him before I leave. I'm so happy he asked, because I would love to go for a swim with him and get away from the hustle and bustle of the floating market. He yells at a guy in the stall next to him to watch his stuff for him while he takes a break. The man in the other stall says sure, no problem. The blond guy takes off his shoes and I take off my life jacket, realize I'm still wearing it from the time I was on the boat. I feel considerably freer and more comfortable without that life jacket! We dive into the water and start swimming away from the market. Not back to my boat, but towards that direction. We stop about three hundred feet or so away, and I think to myself I'm not even tired after swimming all that way! We start treading water, and talking about the floating stand. I have this memory of being the one who suggested he showcase his talents in a henna tattoo stand, and then the T-shirts and such were my fare. I remember that I'm the one who made them, and that seems like a me thing to do, I'm pretty creative and crafty, I just don't have the pencil control for drawing. He's telling me he doesn't think he can run the stand next week, and I really should come and manage it for him. Then he hints that if I do, he'll come visit me just like I come visit him. I'm not really comfortable with the idea, but I say I'll think about it. I don't realize at the time that's what he's saying, because we're heading back towards the floating market, but then on my way to the floating market everything changes. The sun is suddenly rising instead of being high in the sky, and I'm wearing a life jacket again. I realize I'm going to open the market stall. I climb up on the float and take off my jacket. There's a string, and pulling on it reveals that I have another smaller float with a merch bundle tied to it that I was towing along with me. I start to unpack, and I feel sad. The stall just feels lonely without him there. I wake up.

    11. 02-19-12 First Astral City experience in this journal.

      by , 02-21-2012 at 12:18 AM (Cities in the Astral)
      LD7: I know my wife's alarm will be used for at least 2 snooze cycles, so I just sleep until i am sure she is out of bed for good. When she is finally up and not going to disturb me I give it another try.
      Nice! Right back into a fully lucid LD. That makes 3 in one night, not bad at all. Because the other two this night have been sort of OBEs with some dream randomness, I decide not to give my brain a chance to side track me this time. I am vividly lucid at the start, so no need for a RC.
      I am on some low platform and look up at the sky. It is not the normal earthly sky. WOW! It sure is pretty though! It has a lot of depth and color, plus way too many stars, kind of like pictures from Hubble. I am content to just examine the sky as it is fabulously detailed.
      I am being nuzzled by an animal trying to get my attention, and make me look around. I am sick of my mind trying to get all random on me tonight (see last two entries) so I decide to ignore it. I find this sky wonderful. The animal nuzzles me more instantly, so without looking down I push its nose away with the palm of my hand.
      Wrong move! It is in the form of a big dog, who barks very viscously at me and forces my attention away from the sky. Oh, wait. This is not a DC, this is a real entity. I have had entities pretend to be animals before, so I am not sure if it is a random animal like entity or one of the reoccuring people, who is screwing around. One thing is clear, I have ended up in an astral realm of some sort, and this guy is pretty scary looking.
      I back away from him, and ask if he is just making pay attention or if he is mad at me. He communicates telepathically 'that I was sitting on his dog house'. I am suspicious that he is joking with me. There is a small building behind me so i jump to the top of it, to put some distance between us. He does not follow me.So, I am in an astral enviroment, but is it a city? I do not recognise this part of it, it is kind of rural looking, but there are buildings in the distance. I try a new method of travel just to branch out a bit. I zip forward like some kind of sea snake, or wave length. That was new but worked well. I am at some buildings. I climb up some in a spiderman kind of mode, and screw around a bit. I get past these buildings, but still don't recognize this astral realm. I jump down into a field and look around, still very rural.
      Hey, there is that dog again, but he seems friendly. I sense that I am being followed and watched at a distance by at least two people. I have been tailed alot lately and would like to know why they have been following me. I had decided while awake that the next time it happened I would try to catch up with them and flat out ask the why they were doing it. I have suspected it was 'The Monks'. I told the dog to run ahead and see who they were. It acted happy to do it, and took off. I charged after him, and thought I may catch them this time. Suddenly 'The Diplomat' is there in the field, and says hello.
      Ok, so now I know where I am. It is the major city, that has a cathedral and seaside cliffs. 'The Diplomat' once told me he has been living here for 4 decaides. But, now I have to wonder, was he pretending to be the dog? Was he one of the people following me? If he was one of them, does it mean it is not 'The Monks' following me? Or does it mean he is somehow involved with 'The Monks'?
      I walk with him for awhile and he takes me to a building. We go inside. It is like a coffee house kind of place. he takes me to a table, and introduces me to 4 more male entities. They invite me to sit down, but it seems crowded and I would have to sit very close to a stranger. I tell them I will stand. 'The Diplomat' hands me a cigerette, the first time I have seen anyone on an astral world smoke. How odd, I don't smoke anymore in real life, but decide to try it. Yep, tastes like smoke and feels hot. One puff is enough. They are just sitting around talking. I am not really able to follow the conversation, and it does not seem to be valuable teachings, just chit-chat.
      I tell them that my wife has been sick lately so I am wanting to spend time with a woman, while I have the chance. I walk away from them and look around at the other entities that are just hanging around. I finally find a female entity who is cute and interested in being with me. We look around for any place less public. We find a quiet alcove, and suddenly I am being expelled from the astral area! Damb it! Those 'Monks' think I need to spend my time learning and practicing all the time. They always try to ruin my fun. I shout that I will stop and back away from the alcove. I re-enter the astral area. How rude.
      This irritates me. I know some off these beings like to fool around, but the people following me try to prevent it. I tell 'The Diplomat' I want to go somewhere else. He walks me to his mansion. It is a very fancy place. He shows me a room I can use. It has a nice bed, so I consider laying down and meditating. However, I now see someone is in the bed. It is 'The Diplomat'. I may be getting the wrong idea here, but I was suspicious he wanted to fool around. I explain to him that even if they have no specific sex or if they do, my own mental issues would only allow me to enjoy a woman's company that way. He gets up and offers me another cigerette.
      I am not a bad person, or overly homo-phobic, but the scene makes me nervous, so I tell him I intend to go find 'The Older One' of 'The Three Women', no offense intended. I wander around for quite awhile, not sure how to find her. I did run into one female who seemed very friendly, but I did not like something about her. I finally found myself on a major street where many enties were walking. No luck finding her, so I just screwed around for about 5 minutes jumping into a tall tree, trying to float in one place and watch the crowd, and so on. I finally saw somone who may have been her, but just as I reached out to tap her shoulder... My wife closed the bedroom door, and was making a bit of noise getting ready for work, and I awoke. Duration~45 minutes

    12. Operation Métro (Non-lucid)

      by , 02-20-2012 at 10:56 PM
      Yesterday, I played BF3 all day up until I went to bed - about 14 hours. Nearly all of that day consisted of me playing on Metro, leveling up my Support class as well as Medic.


      The dream started by the stairs, and apparently I was on RU team because I was gunning down the US with my M429. Below is a picture of the weapon for refrence (except I have the extended mag, foregrip, and the Holographic optics on it):
      It seemed like I had unlimited ammo, and that the trigger was stuck on because I never stopped shooting at the seemingly infinite supply of US troops. I probably killed like 200 people. After awhile, I kept seeing these red things in the corners of my vision, and ran like hell to avoid them, because of course they're grenade warnings.

      After awhile, the dream seemed to alter itself after almost fading away. Instead of looking down the stairway on the level, I was looking up (thus I was on the US team), and must have been a medic because I saw tons of revive symbols. Being the good Medic I am (), I decided to whip out my defibrillators and start going revive-happy on my teammates. Keep in mind I am still running like hell every few seconds from the red circular grenade warnings.

      Anyway, after awhile, must have decided I was invincible, because I whipped out my MK3A1 (aka Jackhammer) and charged up the stairs. Below is a picture of the weapon for reference:
      I have the extended mag and the same scope I have on the M429 on this gun; the Holographic one. In the dream, it seemed like I had infinite ammo once more, because as I ran up the stairs with my explosive frag rounds people started blowing up like I was playing Unreal Tournament 3. Bullets kept hitting me and bouncing off. The feeling would be comparable to being hit with a paintball through a pillow.

      I just kept pushing what seemed like a hundred of the RU team back with explosions until we got like... I'd say 3/4 of the way to base A, then my Dad woke me up to go to the Dentist.
    13. 02-19-12 Interupted LD

      by , 02-20-2012 at 10:53 PM (Cities in the Astral)
      LD6: After i am sure my wife is back in bed, I try to return to a LD by picturing where I was when she got up. I appear in the front yard. I am already lucid at the start of this one. I am trying to decide what to do, but my brain puts DCs walking down the street, and also the same two noisy DCs coming from the other direction. I am sure my brain is trying to create a story line and pull me into it. Well, I am not interested in a story, I want too train! Frustrating. I jump up onto the roof, and decide I may as well change scenes all together. I can see out across the city towards down town, so I decide to attempt a clean teleport. I want to get down to the base of the biggest buildings and look up from the bottom. I vibrate my energy body so that the image is disrupted and know what I will see when I stop. I stop. Darn it! My brain has decided I need to have a random aspect to this dream. Like, "opps, you only made it half way, oh, there is a bus, why not get on it?).
      Sorry, not interested! I climbup a building and visualize down town in the distance. My wifes alarm goes off! I awake. Duration ~3 minutes

    14. Skyrim Reference:D

      by , 02-20-2012 at 10:50 PM (Lost Lands of Beauty Hidden Far Away)
      I am in my room sitting down on the floor looking at something (I forgot what exactly). My friends are with me two. We are sitting in 2 rows and singing the songs of Little Shop of Horrors. Our music instructor is on her knees in front of us. I am not singing and just sat there admiring this thing in my hands. I also think I am upset and don't feel like singing. We go through all the songs, and finally get up hoping we will get a break. The music instructor goes one by one, telling us if we individually did good or bad and whether we deserve a break. She gets to me and says I could take a break. She then comes back to me and goes off telling me that I did not sing at all and I was just looking down at the thing in my hands, and that I am really lazy and do not deserve a break, but she was going to give me one anyway. I am totally ignoring her at this point cause I am sick of her and the director telling us we are terrible when obviously we've got talent. (They are like that in RL) So my friends and I plan on going out into Skyrim and meeting in the plain in front of Whiterun as werewolves. We are planning for an awesome time, and I am wondering whether to bring a really detailed map or a general map of the province. We go outside and instead of going to Whiterun, we are in front of my house playing hide and seek. There is an extension to my house that is not there in RL. I noticed that that was weird because it was never there before!!!.....but did not do a reality check!..so I brushed it off. I believe the dream jumps here and I am this house meeting with this woman. She is very formal and I don't want to offend her, so I try to act as stiff and quiet as possible lol. I take a seat and she does, too. She turns out to be really nice, however. Her husband comes in and we greet each other, but they have a weird way of doing this. He greets me and his wife, but because he was the last to greet, he had to go to the door, open it, and stick his hand outside... I think that that is a really strange custom and I also think it weird that he went all the way across the room to open a door when there was another door right next to us ...but AGAIN I forget to do a RC because I thought that it was just a custom of theirs (I am apparently in another country), and brush it off once again!! . (Writing this I am realizing how aware I actually was in this dream I'm so proud lol). So i go over to the fireplace and talk with the wife. I ask her if she has any tea hiding in her house somewhere. (For some reason I think we are in Britian). She gives me an awkward smile and says she hates tea. I flip becuase I really don't like tea either! I think this is strange also. I stereotypicaly remembered that British people like tea..But she tells me that she is Italian haha. The dream skips again and I am on a train! I am looking out the window. The sky is cloudy and we pass by this open field. In the field I see about 4 people crucified on huge scrap metal put together in the shape of a cross. I stare at them because 1) I have never witnessed someone crucified in person, so I thought it was horrific, and 2) I was curious why the cross was made of junk metal when it should have been wood. But I forget to do a RC once again and the train continues on. The next thing I remember is that that man's son I had met earlier was missing and I needed to find him. I stop in this town square and go to this random house. I believe Selena Gomez was with me for some reason! We enter and this random couple tells us something I don't remember. They go on to tell us that the man's son had joined this group that performed dark magic and betrayed them or just quit, and now he was fleeing from them because they were going to kill him. I walked outside into the square and looked up. In the sky I saw a boy riding a broomstick and behind him were thousands of knives flying after him! He keeps flying and eventually one by one the knives drop to the floor, thank goodness. I go back into the room and the couple tells me something else. I remember that I had dreamt of this before, but did not put two and two together and realize I was dreaming!

    15. 02-19-12 Short OBE like LD

      by , 02-20-2012 at 10:38 PM (Cities in the Astral)
      LD5: I am coming back into my kitchen from the hot tub late at night. I do not remember having opened the door. Hmmm, reality check time. I try levitate. i do not float right away, but feel so much energy radiate from the effort that I am still suspicious. Try again, sure enough, I start floating. I have been neglecting to stabilze my self to often lately, so I immediately make myself do it.
      Look at my hands. Carefully preform some basic mudras (specific hand figures), form a triangle between touching thumbs and forefingers. then interlock both hands at the middle two fingers with outer finger tented. Try to vocalize, just a basic OMMM. Sounds good, deep and resonant. Ok, stable enough. I am in an exact to scale version of my house, maybe a bit of OBE while in a LD? What to do? Oh yeah, I am focusing on taste, sound and trying to smell (no luck on smell yet) lately so maybe try to eat something. How about a bannanna? They have a distinct pleasant taste. Sure enough in the front room is a bannanna, but it is partially opened and smashed. Oh come on! Maybe if I go to the fridge I can summon a good bannana?
      Decide not to bother with the fridge but to go outside through the back door. Pretty vivid, I can feel the tempature drop between the two. Still seems to scale and correct (OBE?). I hear loud voices from the street that is back behind the back fence. I levitate up to the roof, and get a better look. There are two DCs sneaking around doing shifty things and being loud. Not very interested in following any story line like playing hero at the moment, so I look into the front yard. The roof is all spongey and gives way beneath my feet. OK, that is less like OBE, but that suites me fine. I jump down into the front yard.
      Noisey people are now walking down the road in front. Screw them, I am not looking for a story line now, but wish to practice. I decide to play around with fine motor control by doing jumping high kicks and trying to clear the single story roof top with each. After about five fun kicks, I am woken by my wife getting uup to use the bathroom,
