    1. 20th Shared Dreaming Attempt-HoC's Dream

      by , 08-20-2011 at 11:08 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      HoC's Dream
      I didn't make it, as far as I remember. It's all fragmented.

      I'm at some apartment place with talking animals, one of which was a tiger, which was kind of humanoid. According to someone I know, called Alistair, everyone wants to get to know these animal people things. They didn't like him so he got really angry and ran off.
      I got on alright with them, I think. Tiger said something to me, can't remember what.

      A relative of mine pointed out something out a red robot which was supposed to be from some kind of film.

      I was trapped inside a doll house.

      I remember a field.
    2. Future City

      by , 08-20-2011 at 10:53 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      I am on the Moon with MoSh and Raven. MoSh says he needs to go the Biodome, and work on a sentient plant species, to help it evolve.

      He smiles, and gets on a broom, then rides to the other side of the Moon.

      I make a portal, and Raven smiles at me. Atras appears. "Dude, can I come?"

      "Of course," I smile.

      ***
      In the wormhole, Atras gets attacked by a shitload of astral parasites. DAMMIT. They are swarming him, and he doesn't notice. He is getting dragged down, going the other way. I grab his hand, but the parasites are oily bastards. DAMMIT.

      ***

      Raven and I are in a small plane with parachutes on. "Oh, where's your friend?"

      "Didn't make it through the wormhole. Next time."

      The back of the plane opens. GO GO GO GO!

      Raven and I put our goggles on, and leap out of the plane. We are skydiving above the ocean. There is a beautiful futuristic sea city beneath us.

      We land on a small landing platform. A hologram appears of a pleasant looking woman in a simple utilitarian yet sexy looking uniform. "Welcome, Dimensional Traveler," she nods to Raven. "Welcome, Time Traveler," the hologram bows to me. "I am a real person speaking to you in real time. I'm a little late, so I sent my hologram ahead to greet you. I will be right there."

      She emerges out of a hole in the platform, a hidden elevator. She looks remarkably like... Lila?

      "Yes, it's me Nomad. This is the Blue Earth, in another dimension, timeline, or the future."

      "Which one?"

      "All three."

      Raven eyes her suspiciously. "So what is so special about this synthetic island anyway? You ruin the land, so now you ruin the sea?"

      "I understand your suspicion. Your question requires a long answer. First, let me show you a tour of the city, then I will show you the history of this place."

    3. 20th? Nomad's Dream

      by , 08-20-2011 at 10:35 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      I am at the Temple of Nothing. I am a black lion man.

      [IMG]http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs30/f/2008/182/3/b/new_sphinx_by_nightrhino.jpg[/IMG]

      (BTW this is from Carnal, a bad ass graphic novel in the making.)

      COME TO ME, COME TO ME

      my children, my ancestors, my friends, my family, my allies, my tribe. COME TO ME.

      I play DON'T FUCK WITH THE MOON PEOPLE on my didjeridoo.

      People stream in down the Dark Rainbow Road from Chichen-Itsa on Earth to the Temple of Nothing on the Moon.

      Koomo rides up on the Black Moon Bus, and a bunch of Darklings pile out.

      Xaphor, my red dragon DG leads a fleet of black Moon Dragons with crescent moons on their foreheads, and lands them on the Moon.

      Atras and AndresLD appear near me talking at the same time.

      Atras: YES YES YES WE ARE DOING IT!

      We laugh and hi-5.

      Atras: Are we going to remember this?

      Me: I hope so.

      Andres: Wow! We should battle!

      Robo appears.

      Robo: DUDE I AM SO MEGAMAN. But, check it, I have all these upgrades I bought at the store for free. check this shit out: PORTAL GUN! Robo charges up his arm gun, and shoots at the sky. A crazy portal opens, and hundreds of reploid people pour out. Robo runs to them, and hugs them. "I feel ... here. I feel like I belong. These people... are somehow my family?" I hear him thinking.

      Andres leaps off the pyramid down into a free for all battle below.

      Robo appears next to me with a female Reploid. "Omigod, NOMAD, this is my friend from another Dimension! She is REAL!"

      I bow to her, and kiss her hand. She smiles at me, then at Robo. "I know," I say.

      Robo flies off with the woman, shouting, "ADVENTURE!"

      Atras keeps disappearing and reappearing. He keeps waking up, but is good at returning to the dream.

      Atras: ACK! DAMMIT!

      I grab Atras' hands. "Ok, look at me, now. Look into my eyes."

      Atras: Holy shit, Nomad! You are a black lion... with golden eyes? You look crazy.

      Me: Everything looks crazy. Look around you.

      Atras takes it all in.

      Me: Sit down.

      Atras: Ok, now what.

      Me: Now, we do Nothing.

      Atras: Ok... what is that supposed to do?

      Me: sh...

      Atras: ok, I uh....

      We sit in silence, looking over the City of Nothing. There are pyramids poking up above the jungle canopy. The wall can be seen in the distance with the Moai heads standing guard. The Hawaiian warriors paddle a war canoe through the sky on patrol. Flying cars whizz by. The Juargawn statue grins guarding the gate to the City. Below there is a silly dream battle.

      Atras: wow. I feel like sleeping.

      Me: Go ahead.

      Atras falls asleep, and his strange robe becomes very detailed and crisp. He seems to be getting more solid. He wakes up two seconds later.

      Atras: OMIGOD THAT DREAM WAS CRAZY! Wait! I am dreaming!

      He does a RC.

      Atras: HOLY SHIT.

      He wakes up.

      Raven walks around the corner from a portal with MoSh. She is picking little bat creatures off her that are draining her energy. I notice we all have parasites. We sit down without a word, and we do mutual healing. Raven plays ocarina, MoSh plays acoustic guitar, and I play the didjeridoo and Hawaiian nose flute.

      "It's time to go," Raven says.

      Thebeastofold's Dream


      Late for work in big city



      It started i was in a big empty room with nothing but empty counters on all 4 walls, except where the door was of course, and windows up near the celing, there were 5 or 6 guys there and i was talking to 2 of them, the other guys were talking amongst themselves, and one guy said "looks like good air" and all of a sudden i remembered i was late for work, so i ranout of that building and saw my car was parked in the middle of the street at a wonky angle and there was tons of traffic, so i got in and took off somewher, i was in a huge city and had no idea where i was going, i ran red lights and over curbs, and i was freaking out thinking i was going to get pulled over. I hit a curb so hard at one point, the car went nose up int he air and floated down the road pointing up for about a half a mile..when it finally landed on its tires, i got out and ran into another big building, which turned out to be an electronics type store......a guy walked in after me and asked for the pointy stereo receiver feet special, i started looking around looking for pointy feet, i went intothe front area and there was a guy behind a round counter and he said to me, we never got our pointy feet in because of an order malfunction...... i started walking to the backrrom to tell the guy we didnt have em then woke up...


      Dream Fragment.....fighting giant?


      i only remember a brief fragment, i was lying on the floor somewhere and this giant 20 or so foot tall bald guy was leaning way over and everytime i tried to get up he would knock me back down, like he was playing with a kitten, no matter which way i rolled, i always ended up on my back...i finally threw a punch at him and hit him square in the face, and he started punching at me with fists the size of couches and thats all i remember....... i had to get up early for a meeting so my recall sucked today...

    6. Kitten

      by , 08-20-2011 at 10:06 PM
      - I was bringing home a kitten I'd adopted from somewhere. Her name was 'Franny Fran' or something and she was tiny, fluffy and light grey. I had to carry her home in my hands because we were walking and had no carrier. At one part of the journey it was really loud with lots of cars around and I had to hold onto her tightly so she wouldn't run away. I got "home" to my old house and put her down outside, and she ran into the backyard for a minute. When she came back she was bigger, like a large adult cat, and was acting like a hyperactive dog.

      - I was talking to G and he invited me to go to lunch with everyone like we used to. I then realized the only one who didn't want me there was K, so I went. I sat down and started eating when I heard someone to my left whisper very quietly to me, "the weed!". I turned and saw this girl JT was there. I was like "what?" and she whispered, "the weeeed!" again. This happened a couple more times before she just whispered, "never mind".

      - Also something really weird about talking on MSN on my phone. The text was really big. ('Aoi'?)

    7. Aliens

      by , 08-20-2011 at 09:59 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      I am sitting down in a cafe with Alex Collier. He tells me it's time to be serious. I need to get guns, food, ammo, water, and survival supplies. He tells me to ally myself with the benevolent aliens and learn as much as I can from them.

      "It's hard to see the truth sometimes when it is mixed with lies. But, when truth is pure, it cuts through lies like a knife. We are going to go through hard times. It's important, for people like you, to tell others to help them wake up. I see you are awake. Most of the human race is in a trance, brother. This is serious. We can win this, if we stick together and realize the interconnectedness of all things. Apparently, there are still entities in the Universe that want to perpetuate the illusion of seperateness in order to dominate. I see you have a kindred spirit to the denizens of Agartha, and somehow the Zeta Greys. Be aware. The Reptilian Brain wants to dominate. Use it to your advantage in survival situations. In situations where you are thriving, which is most of your life, subdue it. May the Ultimate Source be with us all."

      Dream fragment is more like it. I set my alarm for WBTB and went back to sleep after it went off.

      Fragment: Something about people sleeping over (a slumber party?) and a man and a woman in a shower to my left.

    10. The Four Guardian Witches

      by , 08-20-2011 at 08:47 PM (∞ The Rabbit Hole)
      The Four Guardian Witches
      So I was in a lobby of a college dorm on my campus and it was really nice inside. Bookshelves, fireplaces, rugs and chairs etc. There was an arcade game played on a screen on what was sort of a table. It was like a side scroller where you were a glowing yellow dot and you went from left to right. Well actually you were always in the center of the screen and the background moved from right to left but you get the idea. Anyways, there were gold coins you wanted to hit and glowing yellow mines or something you didn't want to hit. I was doing really well and my friends started watching. Eventually I got to some stage that only professionals get to, I was getting super lucky the whole time. Then these rubber balls got added into the mix and I wanted to collect as many of them as possible and whenever I collected one it added to my yellow dot so eventually I looked like a picture of an old-school atom. Also now the mines are like large billiards balls. They would build up on the right and left hand sides of the screen depending on how well you were doing. The worse you did the more they built up and you would die when the screen finally closed in on you. I was able to eliminate a ton of them on the sides and I disturbed the lower left corner ball. Then my friends were all like, "Oh, you've done it now" and explained that each of the balls in the four corners represent one of the four guardian witches. The whole dorm started shaking and we ran outside. There was a little go cart that we all hopped in and I drove us across a field to some nearby tennis courts. The four witches were actually more like the fours guardians seeing as they didn't look like witches at all. For instance the earth 'witch' was a large rock golem with a glowing crystal in its chest.

      I had disturbed the air ball and thus had become the new air 'witch' gaining all of its powers. But this meant that all of the other guardians would seek to hunt me down. So as soon as we got to the courts the giant rock golem appeared from the ground and began trying to smash all of us. An epic battle ensued concluding with me shattering the purplish rainbowy crystal in its chest. I could feel a sense of urgency and that we needed to get somewhere safe and prepare for the other witches.

      Random Temptation Dreams
      It's at this point I guess I have to explain that I'm trying to keep my mind as pure as possible. I don't look down upon sex or anything like that, I simply look down upon letting somthing like lust control you. So in my dreams, as well as in waking life I try to remain balanced in body, mind, and spirit. In other dreams you may pick up on how this applies to other things such as greed or corruption etc.

      [+]At my house. AC had brought a girl over and he was making out with her on a couch. I didn't want to break it up but my family was in our living room on the other side of a wall. Then they started having sex, and I got pissed. I was like, "WTF are you doing bro!? my family is right the fuck over there. Are you retarded or something?".

      [+]Hot chick was sitting next to me. She was getting very touchy feely and she was keeping her face as close to mine as possible. She tried to kiss me and I could feel I was about to give in but at the last second I was able to resist turned away.

      [+]I was talking to JO and she was talking about her favorite ways to flirt with people. All the while 'demonstrating' these methods on me. I remember trying hard to not let my penis do the thinking for me.

      by , 08-20-2011 at 08:18 PM (Dreamscapes)
      Was playing age with g. At first he rushed me with horses, killed my villagers, and beat me. The next game I built pikemen and knew exactly what he was going to try to do. I destroyed him with my villagers and pikemen. It then went to a mix game between diablo three and harry potter. Every time I would get close to killing the first boss something would go wrong ans I would have to try again. This went on repeat about 3 or 4 times and I would have to start over.

      Woke from a dream but didn't move. I knew it was time. G was there sitting on the floor and I said watch this. I rolled really hard and got half way out. Not ready to open my eyes I felt myself shift out. I was going to continue the cycles but my gf alarm went off.

      I was driving to a movie. A cop started following me for some reason and I was nervous. I went to pretend to buy a ticket (I already had one) and got some popcorn. He left me alone. Before that I took a few hits of acid. We were in a group of four and started playing in some cabin. I was with kara and Leo was without another. After that kara and the other girl got pissed for some reason so I left to explore. Everything was moving and going crazy. I drove around enjoying the acid. Leo was talking to his dad with g and said he wasn't leaving Seattle no matter what. His dad accepted and he said when his mom left Seattle he would visit. Leo looked happy.

      This is a great idea and the reason i believe it is becuase this is actaully what happened to me 3 days ago!!

      It all comes down to dedication, REALLY desiring it and making it an integral part of you daily thought process, not just an abstract wish or goal, but an important event taking place at night..

      anyway, the ohter night i decided to do a survey of my dream journal to see how many lucids I'd had since i started just over 3 years back..Turns out i had 23! which is more then i thougth, granted only about 6 were pure mind blowing life chanignly amazing each one was special and i was able to harness those feelings your talking about. i was getting so excited thinking back and was able to recall all the imagery from the dreams as though they were yesterday!

      now, the same night i had THE BEST lucid dream i ever had(though i must practce beleiveing i am a lucid master,i really like the sound of that!).
      This seems the key because i usually have my most vivid non lucid dreams AFTER spending an hour before bed reading over my dream journal!

      looks like you thoughts on this matter are true!

      I had gotten a really nice hotel room with allen and some other people. We were ordering lots of room service. The room was really over the top like at the balagio. There were lots of purple and gold tones. We were all going to go see deadmau5 in concert that night. (Funny since we saw them a couple nights ago in waking life). We get there and everyone im with is dancing near the back. I kept wanting to take better and better pictures so walked closed and closer to the stage. I managed to get practically on the stage in the right hand side. Then a bouncer guy lead me to the back of the stage. I got to meet deadmau5 and sofie. I kept taking pictures of them but they warmth coming out very good. I was getting frustrated but I was excited to tell allen ad everyone that I got to meet them. I was officially allowed to walk and go anywhere on and back stage.
      *memory laps*
      Me and allen are graduating high school. We apparently are in the same grade and are graduating at the same time. We were to sit at a giant long table outside with white table clothes. Everyone who was graduating was at the table. The grass around us was brilliant green. There were bleachers for the parents and families of the graduating to sit and watch us. Lindsey was in the stands. Her and allen were cuddling. Then allen walked back to the table as if nothing happened. I was pissed and humiliated. we got into a fight and allen kept saying that he couldn't deal with me being mad at him. Matt was sitting next to me and kept asking if I was okay. I kept shrugging him off. I needed to get away from everyone so I ran to the woods. There was a house there that I had always deemed as haunted but now people were clearly remodeling the place and it looked quite nice. I stopped and peeked in through the windows to get a better look. White walls were in the house (huge dream sign for me). There were lovely paintings on the walls and modern furniture. I had for a moment forgot about allen and I walked around the woods. Then allen came out of nowhere and I remembered what happened earlier. In a weird playful way I decided tp "get him". We were both suddenly on those weird two wheel scooted things you see mall cops on. I was chasing him around the woods. It was quite fun as we were jumping them ans having a lot of fun. I finally caught up tp him and I made him fall over. I was laughing. He grabbed me and pulled me into a tent. We sat there talking for a long while. I was no longer mad at him. For some reason I was assured that they didn't actually cuddle and that allen didn't like her like that. (Though I saw them in the act earlier in the dream). We get out of the tent and walk around the woods some more. Lots of deep greens and browns. We come across a tribe of young people. They are brown from the mud and they hold sticks as weapons. I am somehow not afraid of them and we pass by them. They raid the tent.

      Short sexual dream. Im sitting on a bar stool. Im wearing my high waisted short yellow shirt. Allen is Eatting me out and it feels in credible. I wake up and feel slightly numb down there. Would wake allen up but don't want to disturb him in case he is having a lucid. Fall back asleep.

    15. LD 8: Multiple False Awakenings

      by , 08-20-2011 at 07:59 PM (Starr's Dream Collection)
      NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Right, well, I haven't been on DreamViews in a while, but I just had to come back and post this one.

      So, I'm sitting in my best friend's parent's room, but I guess I'm actually in my uncle and aunt's house. Somehow, I randomly become lucid (I can't pinpoint exactly when, which is frustrating, because I would have liked to remember for future reference) and I perform a reality check.

      If ANY people read my dream journal entries, you know I'm obsessed with Inception. Well, I really wanted to hang out with the Inception team (again), so I walk out in to the living room and ask my Uncle and Aunt, "Have you seen Eames anywhere?" to which my Uncle replies, "Oh, he just left I think. Why?". I didn't know how else to respond with a 'reasonable' answer, so I just say "Uhh...he stole my lollipop." and my Uncle thinks this a perfectly acceptable reason.


      I wake up. That was definitely a weird but short lucid. I perform the normal reality check I do every morning after I wake up and I'm surprised to find...I'm still dreaming!

      Wow...this was almost a false awakening, it's a good thing I performed that reality check. Anyways, so I get up and walk into my living room (I'm at my mom's house now) and I see my brother, sister, and my best friend S standing there. I start to walk into my kitchen to explore, but come up with another idea.

      I turn around and say to my sister, "You're not real, I'm dreaming right now," and she kind of gives me that look like she always does in real life that says 'Okay...you're weird.' I turn to my brother and tell him, "You too, you're just a projection." He starts laughing. Then I turn to S and say, "You too!" and she laughs like I just told a funny joke. I brush them off. I don't have time for this.


      Suddenly, I wake up. Once more I perform the regular reality check and I'm even more surprised to discover I'm still dreaming! Wow!

      I'm at my mom's house again this time, so I get out of bed and walk into my living room again. Once more, my best friend S is there, and I'm pretty sure my sister was there too, but my brother was nowhere to be seen.

      I remembered I've always wanted to try transporting to another place, but I know that using mind power alone to go there never worked for me. So I approach my front door and tell myself that when I open it, I'll be where I wanna be. Outside my house, it's dark and kind of cold. I go up to the door, close my eyes, and open it. I tell myself, 'When I open my eyes, I'll be in Hawaii'.

      My eyes are still closed, but I'm surprised to notice a sudden warmth and I can tell through my eyelids that it's now light outside. I hear the ocean.

      I open my eyes and I'm thrilled to find myself standing on a beach with yellow sand, a crystal clear blue ocean, and scattered palm trees. My vision is rather blurred, for some reason, but I can still tell where I am. My sister and S are incredulous and ask "How did you do that?" before heading off to explore. I follow them to the edge of a little palm tree jungle thing before
      I wake up.

      I'm at my dad's house now, which is where I fell asleep in real life. I'm now convinced I'm not dreaming. I go over the dreams I just had in my head, before I finally do a reality check.


      And I'm still dreaming. Uhh...wow.

      Well, anyways, so I don't know exactly what happened, but somehow I'm transported to a giant movie theater and I'm walking with my mom and a group of other people. I remember how I still wanna meet up with the Inception gang, so I ask my mom "Have you seen Arthur anywhere?" and she looks at me and asks, "Arthur?". I try a different approach. "Okay...have you seen Joseph Gordon-Levitt anywhere?" I ask her. She says, "I don't think so, why?" to which I reply, again, "He stole my lollipop." My subconscious apparently finds this as a normal excuse for wanting to find someone. Personally, I just wanna find him cuz he's hot.

      ANYWAYS. So, I'm magically transported to a giant warehouse that doubles as a courthouse in the basement, and lo and behold, there's Arthur. I'm standing there with him at the entrance of said warehouse and there's a little boy who is an orphan. He needs money donations to help pay for a surgery he needs or else he might not make it. Despite my being lucid, I don't have any money on me, so I turn to Arthur.

      "I don't have time for this, I'm a business man!" is all he says, because he knows I'm gonna ask him for money. "But he needs surgery," I tell him, and he says "I don't care how mean and horrible it makes me sound, we really should be going." and he pushes the little boy aside. Arthur is trying to stay serious but he looks upset and sort of guilty. (Why is it I always dream of him being sad/depressed?)

      Anyways, all of a sudden, the boy becomes a part of this huge court case, and it turns out the little orphan was actually evil and was just tricking people into giving him money. Geez. I start running around the basement of the place and accidentally run into a courtroom and interrupt a session. A bunch of people that look like judges and lawyers are like, "Excuse me, you can't be in here!" and look at me angrily. I fumble to come up with a different excuse besides the lollipop one, because they look too serious to fall for that. "The boy...needs...help!" is all I could manage. Suddenly they look worried and all run out of the room. I follow them, only to discover Arthur is gone, and two of my friends are sitting at a little round table, coloring pictures.


      I wake up. Well, not really. Still dreaming, according to the reality check. My vision is very blurred, but I can faintly make out my sister standing in the entrance of my room. She is standing there, staring at me, being SUPER creepy. She starts walking towards me and grabbing at me and I have to keep pushing her away.

      As crazy as it make me sound, I'm just tired of this whole false awakening thing and I wanna wake up for real. I start screaming, "WAKE UP! WAKE ME UP!" and suddenly I find myself lying in my bed, again.

      I know I'm not awake, and I don't even bother with a reality check. I'm just glad I got out of that creepy dream with my sister and I'm in a new dream.

      That's when I realize I'm still in the same dream, and my sister is still standing there. UGH.


      Suddenly, I actually wake up. It takes me a moment to realize that I'm really awake. For a second, I honestly wasn't sure whether I was in a dream or reality. I'm telling you, I'm losing my grip here.

      I'm rather relieved to discover that I'm in the real world after performing a reality check. That was definitely one of the strangest lucid experiences I've ever had.
