22nd LD
Dream.Lucid.Comments/awake

Something about some talent show, I got a sudden urge to run through a dark forest at night. I had a flashlight with me. The forest contained a bears and wolfs, but I just ran past them, even jumped over one of the wolfs. Finally after running for 5 minutes, I arrived to a backyard. The backyard looked exactly like mine. Suddenly two wolves charged towards me, but I started kicking them, then I leaped over them. An afro-american man came to the scene with a chainsaw, but somehow he knew why I kicked his dogs. (The wolves were his dogs) He dropped the chainsaw and laughed, then I suddenly knew it was a dream. Well did a little stabilising, then I (for no reason) pushed him, he flew a little and laughed. He pushed me back I flew way more. I asked him how he did it. He started teaching me about using elements. (Possible DG?) After a while of teaching, my brother showed up and he started throwing logs at me. For the first time in LDs I super jumped. Managed to jump on my roof, but I fell down. Started losing the dream.

Well that was my first DJ entry. I will be posting more of my lucids and awesome dreams.

~This was the the first conscious attempt to change a dream while lucid~

The lucid part of this dream was only a few moments long, I remember the exact moment that i knew i was dreaming....in the dream it was thunder storming....the wind was howling and i can here crashing noises in the distance,then a large bolt of lightning....i was out side when i know i was lucid and i could feel the raindrops hitting me in the face....i was looking straight up into the sky,and i remember thinking to my self how nice it would be to change the colors of the swirling clouds...i was standing in a field with only a few trees...i can here the sound of the leaves rustling in the tornado like wind...i am looking straight up into the dark grey and almost black clouds...i imagine my favorite color of sea foam green...then swirls of purple....at that moment i believe i was startled by my ability to change the color of the sky.
It was then i awoke....i fell back asleep with the intentions of trying again....but i couldn't remember anything else when i awoke for morning.

Basically, I am now taking a completely different approach to Lucid Dreaming and life in general. I read a post on how to Command the Subconscious Mind, and it repeated exactly what my Health teacher said, so now it is really drilled in my head. Here's the link - it's awesome: http://ld4all.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37023

Anyway, back to the LD. This was not long nor was it truly exciting like the last, but I still had control for the time being and altered my dream tremendously.

Aliens attacked the earth and I saved this one guy from the aliens. He was a big dude, about my age, maybe a little older. We got back to his house and his mom commanded us to fight to the death. I thought to myself, "man, I am dreaming; I don't have to actually fight." So instead, I told the guy, "rather than fighting to the death, let's team up and fight the aliens together". He thought it was a good idea so we became teammates for the rest of the dream, which was then not Lucid anymore.


This looks pretty silly, but it really tells me that I am getting better at Lucid Dreaming. I didn't have anything strange of anything out of the ordinary at that point of time, and I just thought to myself without doing a reality check, so this may be going somewhere.


*interesting note - my pocket knife that I normally have on me was shaped slightly differently than in real life. Rather than being pointed straight up, it was slanted about 170 degrees.

I can remember a small segment of one of the dreams I had last night. It took place at my dads old house. I had a penguin balloon that I was showing off to everybody some people I knew others I did not. I told someone I was calling it pengin and i said its spelled the same just without the u. Their reply was that penguin was spelled pengeine and i was wrong for using the u. I didn't question the persons spelling and assumed I was wrong. Eventually I handed it off to someone else who just let it go. I was worried I was going to lose it but it got stuck in a tree. Someone else got it down from the tree for me. That's all I remember from that dream.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I started to remember more dreams as I was typing the first 3.

Dream 1:

I'm inside some area where there are several mini-water thanks. The whole setting has a brown color to it with shades of black etc. I think the floor had a little water on it.

There were these guards that looked similar to the ones you see in MGS2 when you get to the part where you're in Arsenal Gear.



I think I'm spectating what's happening or playing as the person. I try to shoot some guards, and I think a few die from the bullets, but then it gets harder to shoot them.

I tried going for head shots on them, but somehow the bullets didn't work, probably because they had those helmets, but it should've worked either way because in the actual game their armor wasn't an issue at all.

There were a few times where the guards would alert that there's an intruder, and I would shoot a few of them before they made a final report to HQ. Then one guard manages to succeed to call more backup.

I can't remember what else I was doing in the dream.

Dream 2:

I'm inside of a store and I'm running inside and then I as I'm running, I do a dive shot to the floor because I'm hiding from some random DC eating a piece of cheddar cheese or something (the thing they were eating looked dark yellow/ light orange).

Then I think I go back outside and head for a vehicle to go into, the whole setting was set at night.

All I remember for that one.

Dream 3:

I'm playing Resident Evil 4 again, and I'm still not sure if I was playing as Ada Wong(she wears a long red dress) or actually am her. I do know that I was playing Separate Ways though.



I started out in the village and normally you start out near the church where you're trying to help Leon not get over killed by the zombies coming inside the house he's locked himself in.

I run a little bit near to the right to a location where all zombies would come in one at a time (I think it's an actual method called the Spartan method or something that you could use as Leon so you won't get raped by zombies), and I see the chainsaw guy come a bit too early. He comes after me and I try shooting him with the Chicago Typewriter, which should've killed him easily, but he just keeps coming after me.





(Never in my mind did I think that if I shot him in the knee instead, I could've done a fan kick and do more damage than the shit damage the Chicago Typewriter was unleashing in this dream).

He gets close to me and he starts cutting Ada Wong's head off slowly with his axe, of course Ada is trying to resist, and I even get to shoot the guy one more time before he chops all of her head off.

I didn't see a game over though, it just restarted by itself. I'm back in the village and I decided to run like hell to the entrance to get to the village, and then turn around and just started to shoot all of the zombies. The Chainsaw guy (Dr. Salvador) is running incredibly fast compared to the actual game.

He's just running like a retard towards me, and he's not even holding the chainsaw right, he's holding it like a sword I think when he's running (if he kept it up, he'd probably cut himself off).

I aim the gun at him, but I can't remember what happened next.

Ada Wong...lady in red....the signs are getting more obvious now for me.

Dream 4:

I'm inside a house and the house across from me is having their music on really loud. Some DC said they were playing Muslim music.

Dream 5:

I see Toguro at 85% of his power (in the English dub of Yu Yu Hakusho) and Sensui in his Sacred Energy Armor. The dream was a bit random, it involved helping Sensui kill Toguro, and then he would be facing me I think.



Toguro was about to shoot someone, probably me, I don't know, but Sensui is right behind him.

I don't know what else happened but Sensui was talking to me about a group of people called "Naturalist" or something like that?

Dream 6:

I'm Snake again from MGS2 in his outfit when he used the alias Pliskin. I think I'm from the tanker level, the first level I believe, and I had to shoot some guards from above. Then someone tells me that those guards need to stay alive.



So I had to dash towards the guards that fell onto ground level who were above and inject some kind of reviving aid to wake them up before they died. I had to inject them quick because in my mind there was a timer somewhere on the syringe I was using, so the injections weren't really accurate, I even saw a small black hole when I took the syringe out of one guard.



I immediately go to the far right end of the ship and hide in a cardboard box, but then it turns into a towel, so I quickly had to move my body to cover my whole body. Then I saw a towel to the left of me and covered myself even more.

As the guards were waking up, some lady who looks like a girl I knew in my AP Government class, let's call her "Dian" I think she was doing some kind of fancy dance flinging her wrists smoothly in front of them, and as they were recovering, they're wondering what the hell is going on.

Dream 7:

My father is saying that I should get familiar with the terms my friends are using and says "Boatski." I knew something was wrong here and asked him, "Don't you mean Broski?" And then he has that expression that said "Ooooh" and laughs in embarrassment.

He leaves, and I see a Blackberry Phone with some small yellow objects attached with clear tape on the bottom. (I guess he was trying to make a Boat out of a Blackberry?)

It is early morning, still dark outside. I have just walked down the stairs from my room. There is a gumball machine in the middle of the kitchen that dispenses tea. I grab a glass from the cubord and get some. I think it is odd that there is a gumball machine in the living room, one that dispenses tea at that, but I don't really think about the significance of it. I almost take a sip, but I notice that my hand is very hot, so I set the glass down and go get an ice cube out of the freezer. the tea disolves the ice cube in less than thirty seconds. I can tell it has cooled down, but I decide to get a glass of water before drinking the tea. I grab another glass from the cubord, and drink some water. I notice a sticky note on the gumball machine, it says to take the gumball machine outside at 2:15 AM. I get up early, but not that early. It says to bring the machine back inside at 5 something in the morning. I look out the window into the blackness, I wake up.

So last night I remembered two dreams. These were the first two dreams I had remembered in a while, and I know it had to do with starting a DJ. I can't remember which happened first, but I have a general idea. No lucid dreams.

Dream 1:
I am skiing at some ski resort that reminds me of Alta, Utah. There are random people just walking all over the run I am skiing down. I am with my dad. The run also has a bunch of rocks. I then go off one, and fall in to a hole and slide down.

Dream 2:
I am sitting in a room talking with two of my friends. We talk about how it would suck to be stranded on an island, with planes just flying right over you. I then say, "Wouldn't it suck if you were stranded on an island and a plane flies right above you?" (I don't know why I said that lol!)

In which I'm watching a television that has a colored coded icon clock...

I'm watching television with my father. Starting in the lower left-hand corner and then continuing up and around the square edge of the screen are a series of icons similar to the windows on the desktops of computers. The pictures are of random objects with different themes. Beach icons include a sandal, a flamingo, an umbrella. Vehicle icons include a tractor, a firetruck, a backhoe. The icons light up and change colors.

I ask my dad to explain what they are, and he explains how it is an elaborate system for telling time. You tell the hour based on which theme is highlighted and the minute based on which color the icons are.


In which I almost lose the dogs... yet again...

It seems like I've been dreaming some variation on this dream for weeks now.

I'm still with my father. We are eating cheese enchiladas at a Tex-Mex restaurant and sitting in a booth next to a window. The window is framed in a heavy cloth curtain of green, red and white like the Mexican flag. We can see Lucy and Butchie outside, tied up to a pole in the sidewalk on the other side of the window.

I go to the bathroom in the back of the restaurant but the door is locked. I push it open and there is a homeless women who I know standing in the middle of the dingy bathroom.

"There's no toilet," she tells me, confused. I look around the room. It is built of crumbling bricks. The room is wet and smells of mold. Not only is there no toilet, there is no sink either.

I leave, and my father and I go out into the parking lot. We get inside his blue pickup truck. Just as we are about to leave, I look in the bed of the truck and see that the dogs are missing. My father says that we left them in his white telephone company van. So we get out of the truck and walk around the parking lot looking for his van. Finally we find it, but the dogs are not there either. The homeless woman lives in the van now.

The homeless woman tells us that she has been looking for the dogs for 24 hours. She shows us a journal that she's been keeping of her searches. She turns to a page that has hand-drawn maps of the city, including restaurants, alleyways and fields. She has scribbled notes and drawings on the pages, and she tells me to read what she's written. I look at the pages, but I can't make sense of it. It's like reading another language. She takes the book back and begins to explain.

"Whence does the earth procure its food?" she reads, "Water fell from the sky twice since they started scratching, but food has not yet come." She shows me a chart that she says shows the weather since the dogs disappeared.

Then Butchie ran up to us, excitedly. He was barking and wagging his tail. He wanted us to chase him, so we followed him to an alleyway behind the restaurant where Lucy was hiding, scared. She was fine, just a little hungry.


In which I fight for a hospital bed in an institution...

I'm returning to some sort of institution. The building is huge, like a multi-story hospital or college building, but it is mostly empty. It's also hard to get around. Most of the doors are locked. I spend some time in stair wells and looking into the doors of rooms, not sure if I should enter.

The dream is hazy now. There is a room with an older woman with gray hair and glasses leading a group of women in what appears to be some sort of exercise routine. She does not seem friendly, I am late, and for some reason I also know that I've done something to make her annoyed with me. I can't really remember this part of the dream.

Then I'm upstairs in a hospital ward with white walls and tile. The environment is sterile and cold, and there is a row of twin beds with crisp white sheets and hard pillows. I go to one of the beds which I know to be mine. There is a tall, broad-shouldered and big-boned young woman with beautiful thick and shiny black hair in my bed. She is obviously drugged and not quite awake, so I'm nervous about making her move. She is wearing fashionable stretch jeans, tucked inside her black boots, and a long-sleeved shirt. She is a big woman, but not overweight. She looks curvy and very strong. Because she is out of her mind, I'm worried that she might become violent if I'm too insistent.

I ask her to move and tell her this is my bed. She obliged me by rolling over. I tell her that I can't share the bed with her because my husband will be here soon. She starts to talk nonsense, and it occurs to me that she is dreaming. A nurse comes over and tells her that I'm correct and that she must move. She takes the black haired woman away. I climb into bed, relieved and eager to get some sleep. I'm exhausted.

When I pull down the sheets, I discover the homeless woman from the previous dream curled up at the foot of my bed as if she were a cat. She looks up at me with friendly eyes, and I remember that she is insane. Then I realize that we are in a mental institution and that I am insane also. I'm not allowed a bed to myself. I only get 1/3 of the bed. I have to share the other 2/3 with other people. Since I'm insane, this seems fair. I curl up in the bed and don't remember anymore.




NOTE: Even more than usual, these dreams were just a series of images from things that have recently happened to me in real life. Some things I noticed right off:

• cheese enchiladas from my conversation with A about Tex-Mex in London,
• the hospital imagery from taking K to surgery yesterday,
• the icons on the TV were the same as on the mobiles that were really hanging above the hospital beds,
• television from the conversation with E,
• the elaborate clock from the Radiolab podcast,
• the homeless woman is the drunk that played with the dogs down at the river,
• the little investigation book she made was just like my gardening journal,
• the line from Investigations of a Dog that I read yesterday while waiting on K,
• bathroom issues from the work on our bathroom,
• the various vehicles (Dad's blue pickup was my first vehicle and then later he gave me his work van) probably appeared because we just got a new car,
• the exercise class like mine at the Y,
• the not-friendly gray woman was like my former Physiology professor,
• and the anxiety about institutions and feeling out of place is because classes start up again tomorrow.

Therefore, these dreams are the most Wizard of Oz-like I've ever had: You were there, and you were there, and you and you and you... The brain works in weird ways!

I remember this dream better that usual, probably because I woke up right after it and remembered to take the time and go trough it. Other things happened before this, but they are too hazy to gather in a text. I didn't notice it was a dream at any point, but I didn't think it was real either. A movie perhaps, that I was immersed in.


I was walking on a curved ridge with water on both sides, an ocean on the right, I believe, and a lake on the left. There was a temple, or a shrine but a large one, on the left side of the ridge, halfway in water.

It was a rather beautiful old building with white marble pillars and I stopped to have a look. It was dark and I didn't see far towards the lake, the water was still. After looking around I heard a voice proclaim that the temple was devoted to an ancient, powerful creature, and on the table in the middle of the temple, large scratch marks appeared.

Behind me, there was a large dragon-like creature, a large lizard with wings and bone spikes in it's tale. (These kinds of things happen in movies, no reason to be afraid.) I had a sword, or maybe a dagger is more like it, and I faced the creature, standing on the ridge a bit farther from the temple.

It approached and tried to swing its tail at me. I tried to cut it while backing away, teleporting a bit further on the ridge. I didn't even touch it, and it came flying over the water. It came toward me and for some reason, crashed to the ground, causing me to fall next to it.

I was a bit disappointed I couldn't beat the lizard. A swarm of daggers appeared flying, sent by my friends and protectors, leaving behind a golden glow in the air, took a dive into the sea and finally hit the lizard trough its back.

The lizard complained that they shredded some organ. I felt a bit sorry and woke up, the alarm was ringing.

Dream 1
I was back at my old highschool. I was looking around and noticing all of the attractive new students. I was then talking to some the girls I used to go to school with and I noticed that they kept eyeing me. Later there was an assembly and I stood up and waved at people behind me in the crowd. I accidentally created a wave in the crowd, then everybody got excited.


Dream 2
I was driving a RV around some back water country area and I was drifting it around a downhill winding dirt road. At the bottom a guy with a rifle was pointing it at me. I tried to grab the barrel but he kept pointing it at me. I eventually broke the barrel off. I went inside to the building and there were two chicks inside chilling on two separate beds. I got some hand action and then I woke up.

||Clarity and recall does seem to increase with the increase of time between food eaten and bed time. I am going to continue to increase the amount of time in between and also decrease food intake and quality||

I just wanted to sleep...been dozing off all day. Last night was the first night in a long time I remember not randomly waking up.

I remember something about trying to get a device fixed in an office, and because I didn't file the report, it obviously got worse. There was something else about Rocco Botte and zombies. The part I do remember however....

Involved me at some bar. I was sitting at a table with AM, and I was trying my hardest to hook up. From the looks of the table, she's had like five rum and cokes, and there's no telling where I'm at, but I have a feeling the place is going to be closed soon. I went in for a kiss on the cheek, and got denied. "Oh no, I just saw you as a friend", she explains after pushing me away. I got up and headed towards the door. I needed some food because I don't know how drunk I thought I was. This one guy had pizza on his table, but all of it had been half eaten. I head outside, and it's daytime.

Not only that, the cannon goes off, and I have to salute the flag because it's going down. I see some people in airforce uniforms walk off while the flag is still being lowered and I'm just shocked. There a group of people who also start walking before the song ends. WTF is up with these people? Anyways, I need a pencil and there are a bunch on this stair case. Some woman starts talking to me and ask me about myself and what not. I tell her that I'll be getting out of the Army in a few days, and getting into school. We go back and fourth about my choices as far as my curriculum is concerned. I don't know if she's just hating on the fact that I'm trying to better myself, or just happens to be a negative person.

The last week has been quite stressfull. I'm going to live abroad for quite some time and I'm departing this weekend. I've been pretty restless because of this major event and although I still have dreams, I don't write them down in my DJ.

I'll resume my DJ when I've accomodated in my new country.

Me and a few of my friends are running away from a guy, we end up running into a cave/tunnel. We hear a massive bang and realise that the guy chasing us has a big pick axe.

We start to run, I can hear him behind me, he is getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, we all stop running as it all goes silent and we cannot hear footsteps or the sound of the pick axe crashing on the tunnel walls. I stand there for a minute, then all my friends are gone, they just vanish into thin air.

Alone, I begin to walk through the tunnel, trying to find my way out. Then I hear a bang and start running again. As I am running, I am being shot at by arrows from the walls.
One pierces me in the eye. My vision goes black, but I feel no pain.

So the first two dreams happened two nights ago but haven't gotten around to writing them up here.

The first one starts with me driving over a mountain and then parking outside a house. Across the street was a man and I got out of the car opened the back door and pulled out a baseball bat from the back seat. I started walking over to the man and he pulled out some crabs which he was going use use as weapons. When I got closer he ran away. I started hitting a wall and chipping off some concrete.

I was swimming in a pool with a group of people. Someone through a knife and I had to duck below water to avoid being hit. When I came up the girl who threw the knife was laughing and said it was accident. I didn't believe her but kept swimming in the pool. I turned around and ducked below water. I saw another knife fly above my head and I knew she wanted to kill me. I then felt someone standing on me and not letting me swim back to the surface. I became scared and started to panic because I was running out of breath. Then I woke up.

Last nights dreams.. I started off in a prison or castle and I felt like I was playing a computer game. I crept into someones room and started to steal things from the book shelf. When I took them they just vanished like they would in a computer game. I kept looking around the room and saw a gold skull. I zoomed in on one of the eye holes and there was nothing in there so zoomed out and zoomed in on the second. There were two red dots which I thought were spider eyes. I zoomed out and zoomed in on another hole in the skull. There was a black and white bug and he said,

"I'm going to hack you!".

He then started to unzip his body. I zoomed out and ran to the window. I jumped out and rolled off the roof onto the street. There were many tall buildings and it felt a little futuristic. I started walking with a friend. The street changed into a main street of Adelaide and we were going to a club called "The City". We came past a bar and my friend wanted to go in. Hanging outside was another friend I haven't seen for a long time. He had grown a very full beard. I was very happy to see him and started jumping up and down, shaking his hand and saying,

"It's so awesome to see you!".

We decided to go into the bar but a bouncer stopped us and asked,

"How many drinks have you boys had".

"3 or 4". I replied.

"How can it be 3 or 4! You've either had 3, or you've had 4. Which one". It was said suspiciously. I said back.

"We had 1 beer a few hours ago, then had 3, so it averages out to be about 3 or 4 standard drinks. I'm not sure if we should say 3...or 4."

Everyone was very impressed, and the bouncer let us in.

The bar was quite classy. There were chairs going all the way round the main bar in the middle. We walked to the back and it turned into a Thai restaurant. The food was already per-packaged into plastic bags and the shelves were stocked topped to bottom with the these bags.

I started to focus on a photograph on the wall of the inside of a bus. There was a dead body of a boy who had been shot. There was blood all over the bus. I couldn't stop looking at it. I was thinking to myself, that's a lot of blood for one person. And then I saw the driver was also dead and had been shot. I was then overlooking the bus as it drove out of control down a hill and crashed over the edge of small cliff.

After failing my WILD and getting some tips from Forceez, I tried to get some sleep. I had one dream, vivid and long too.

Detention
Non-Lucid: It's night in my high school. I'm going to my locker and realize I'm shirtless. I see some article of clothing lying in front of my locker, obviously must be my shirt. I pick it up, play around with it, they are red gym shorts. Time rewinds, I'm walking to my locker again. My brother is there, along with a bag of dirty clothes and a bag of dirty towels. (these are here because our washing machine is currently broken in real life) I pick up the bag of dirty towels but we're stopped by a bald man, he's taking us to a classroom that has a TV in it. We sit down, there's another person in the room but I down give them any thought. I ask him why he brought us here. He says he is on the police force, and that he is holding us here to show us what our crimes are doing (even though I haven't committed any of these crimes). The video plays, and I take the role of one of the people in the TV.
It's night, I'm manning a gun on some sort of armored car. I think we are in Mexico, most likely tracking down drug cartels. The car in front of the one I'm in shoots into the windows of the buildings we are driving next to. Blood splats onto the windows. This continues for a short time until I find myself somewhere unknown.
I'm no longer in the video, I'm in an abandoned house. I walk outside. (This area seems to be reoccurring, either that or I've visited this area in this one dream more than once and forgot) There's no grass here, in front of me is a pit (man made, more like a moat) beyond this is the town I know. A voice speaks to me, of a girl I know, she says "Truman can see it every time, crazy right?". I instantly know what she's talking about. On the far right of the pit is a barely visible staircase hidden by a bush and half buried. I run up it.
I'm now behind a shed the shed has an opening in the back large enough to squeeze through. I do just that. I'm no in a little undeveloped area.
Teleport again, I am in a shop. I realize I have to get back to that classroom or the officer is going to be pissed. I run out, it's raining, as I'm crossing the street (four way intersection) every single car stops. The rain stops falling too, and instead just floats where it was. I'm now running in slow motion, this is extremely frustrating for dream me. In front of me I see a Russian/gypsy woman crossing in front of me. She is speaking in gibberish and seems to be cussing at me (that was actually pretty creepy for me).
Teleport again, I'm at the school. It's daytime now, but I don't care, I need to get to that classroom. But my friends will stop me, I have to avoid them. I go behind a large dumpster (that isn't there in real life) and as I'm about to make a run for is, two friends of mine (we'll call them John and Rachel) suddenly pop up in front of me. "HEYY JENOS! WHAT UP?!" they're smiling like the actors from the Truman Show. I shout at the top of my lungs "Get out of my way, I need to get inside!!" I run inside. The dream ends here and enters into another one.
