The House Party (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My family had a lot of people over, mostly relatives but I didn't recognise anyone. They were mostly old, there were women with greying hair who looked frail, and a couple of old men. We sat in the loungeroom and watched some sort of movie, with lots of food on the coffee table. I don't think I was very interested in the movie.

There was one man there I recognised - who looked like an older version of one of my ex's dads. I walked up to him and shook his hand, telling him I'd never mis-recognise someone from their family. There were two small dogs who I played with throughout the dream. I recall there being small clumps of dog hair under the coffee table, and we were suspicious that they had been fighting with the cats. I went and got one of the dogs from out in the family room, picked him up and bought him out into the family room. He was noticably scared of Kitty & Merlin.

It was time for everyone to leave, and they all left out the front door, and as I was left alone in the loungeroom, the dream fades to darkness.
I wake up in the loungeroom, alone. It's night, pitch black outside with lots of stars in the sky. The light is on in the loungeroom. Something seemed odd to me - but nothing in particular, I counted my fingers. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 wait - my fingers are branching off one another. I went to recount and my fingers just kept on generating and branching. Cool! I did a nose RC just incase - wow, I'm dreaming!"

I felt as though I was in a hurry, quickly I decided to try and teleport - imagining myself standing in the hallway. I was trying to do it too fast, and not trying properly and so I failed. I started looking for Dad again for some reason. I tried to summon him, I think and it failed. I then saw the reflection of him standing up wearing his cap out in the hallway from the window. I went to check and he wasn't there.

I realised how fast I was going and slowed down, stabilised. I grabbed the wall and touched it, looking around the room. The old TV cabinet was in the front window, and was also in the bar area where it used to be - cool. I wanted to use my sense of taste - and so I flick-summoned an apple into my hand. At first I couldn't feel it, but as I raised my hand up to my mouth I decided on a slice of apple instead of the whole thing. I took a bite, it was sweet and delicious, and made a satisfying crunch. I intensified the sweetness using my mind.

My eyes started to feel tired, and I noticed they had sleep in them. I noted that I had better not shut my eyes too much or I ran the risk of waking up. I simply scratched at the sleep with my fingernails, but at one point did shut my eyes. As I opened them, my eyelids opened in real life, and I was fully awake. Oops.

Possible WILD - Teaching Tim About Dream Control (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I layed in bed after waking up repeating my mantra "I am dreaming" and allowing myself to get caught up in the visualisations. I didn't feel any onset of SP, but I believe I was lucid the whole time this dream happened, though I don't fully remember the transition.

I was visualising minecraft, and a server with Jeremy, Tim, and Henry. I was trying to help Tim understand how to fly, and make choices about changing the dreamscape around him. I showed him how his thoughts influenced the generation of the landscape around us, by going flying fast across lots of terrain. As my thoughts would scatter, the terrain would jump and become inconsistant, but as my attention returned, it would continue smoothly. We ended up flying through some sort of never ending gravel terrain, which spiralled downwards and was beyond my control. This is when I woke up.

From a nap yesterday afternoon
Fight with Manfro

I am visiting a porn store/strip club because len owes me money. I am waiting by the front desk for a manager to talk to me. Holding a clip board wearing long slicked back hair I see Manfro with a white shirt cuffed up to the elbow. We make eye contact and I say "holy shit!" He rolls his eyes as I tell him that he's great on men of a certain age and I ask If I can get a picture with him. He says sure and I give my phone to the kid doing checkout. We pose and the kid takes the shot. Manfro looks at me and says "you know what happens now right?"
I go oh shit as he takes a swing at me. I grab his hand and fling him behind me into a trash can. He yells and charges me. I grab him and swing around as we both pitch to the floor. He keeps telling me he's going to kick my ass. But I grab him and use my leverage against him as I flip him around and again. Eventually he stops struggling and we stand up. I tell him I like the way he plays the character as such a scumbag but you still feel a bit of soul about him. He smiles and says thank you very much.
I look through my phone for the picure and it's not there. I figure the kid didn't know what he was doing or sabotaged me on purpose.

From this morning
War With Germany

I am suddenly drafted into service to go to war against germany. I am gathered with a few dozen people including Alec Baldwin and put on a plane. We land on top of a building and are sent into this room to get weapons and gather. Everyone gathers weapons but I am late to getting mine. I look for a gun but can find no bullets. The only bullets left in the file cabinet are shotgun shells so I head back to look for the Automatic Shotgun.

The germans have already infeltrated the building. I get the shotgun but I am unable to put bullets in it before we are run over and captured. The general who had our orders' flight was delayed by german air traffic controllers. They take us prisoner and bring us to a nearby boarding school.

We are hanging out in a computer lab with students. The computers are all different. Mac and PC. Over by us they are very very old. Everytime I look again at the computers they change again, from 286s to Mac Pluss. People are playing games on them like Number Crunchers and Oregon Trail. None of the computers around that are open are working so I walk to the side of the room with the students.

These computers are amazing and the kids are doing kick ass stuff on them. Some are doing crazy advanced homework and some are playing very advanced games. One kid is controlling a small animated frog who leaps off the screen and attacks other kids stuff. I am very impressed by this. I see one computer open on this side of the room and it's an amazing computer.

I sit down at this monstrosty for a few minutes and play with a painting program and then try to find email. No such luck. I get nervous and wonder if I am supposed to be on this side of the room. I get up and walk back to where the prisoners are. I see that my friend kevin is there and his german girlfriend gets him moved out of the area with the rest of the prisoners. It annoys me for a moment that he is getting special treatment.

I see my friend amy and go sit down to talk to her but we are interruped by german soldiers who move us enmasse to a garden. The germans are preparing to speak with us and are not paying attention. I take the opportunity to run away, down a path to freedom.

I find a small town and look for a phone to call people from. I rummage for food from a Mc Donald's Dumpster. Eventually I find docks and come across a shipping manifest that allows me to stow away back to america. I worry about my wife.

I make it back to america and the war is over. I find alec baldwin in a park and we talk for a moment, laughing about how short the war was.

03-07-11 Testing out MILD for the first time produced an interesting result. I used the mantra “question reality – become aware”. After a while the mantra did start popping up fairly automatic. I am dreaming and I am continuously shifting between a scenario in the university campus I just took an evening walk in and a Diablo themed setting, from the catacombs with Diablo actually there. In the dream I am walking along a pathway paying attention to the foliage on the side. It is dark throughout the dreams. I think I may be lucid at certain times, but it is for very brief moments and I have limited recall of them.

The mantra keeps sounding in my head and I think I may be verbalising it as well. the first time I notice I am drifting in and out of sleep is when I am walking on the side of the road, after I hear the mantra I start checking, but the dream fades to “hypnagoic imagery” with the difference that I have no bodily perceptions and the background theme is a lot brighter than when I normally observe these images, still I am convinced that I am falling asleep and not dreaming. A common theme for these images would be the appearance of Diablo in the catacombs with me living the character actually being there, though sort of a birds eye perspective. When this happens I keep repeating the mantra and I would “wake up” back in the university park somewhere. I am stupid enough to believe that it was the place I was attempting to fall asleep.

This happens maybe 3-4 times and on the last time waking up in the university park I am naked or partially naked at least, I am wearing yellow boxers. I take routes that carry me over the grass I am trying to get somewhere home(ish). I run into a person I know from back home, he is passing by on a bike with one of his mates and I tell them not to pay attention to me. I am starting to get a feel for where I am headed and I have a remote in my hand that will teleport me to the nearest street light or something similar. When I get close to one the light of it flickers and I click the remote to sure enough pop over there.

I start walking across a path until I get to a point where I can see that my Mother's sister and her husband is packing up the car. Oh that is right they said they would be leaving soon. I briefly mention to them “so you are leaving now are you” don't know if I get a response or not, but the dream goes on. I am now talking to my grandparents who are sat outside a tent. My grandmother is picking on me saying something like “so it is OK to come home at 9 o clock is it?” I realise she means nine in the morning and I am a bit surprised that I have been gone that long. I start looking around and it is dark, like really dark, which wouldn't fit the time of nine in the morning. I start a discussion with them about this, and although my grandmother disagrees my granddad start coming around to the idea of it being overly dark.

There is another shift and now I am back at my computer in a room that is very different to mine, but it is still my room. I am at the computer and now all the Diablo shit that has happened seems to happen at once on the computer. I am fairly surprised for two reasons, firstly he shouldn't be in the catacombs, secondly I know the other times it has happened have just been HHs. He is running at me and hitting me so quickly, other monsters join the fight, they all die except him and in the end I run out of healing pots and die as well.

Notes: I wake up feeling really disheartened, for not realising I am dreaming although the mantra was clearly carried over. roughly 2-2.5 hours have passed in sleep so the REM period wouldn't have been that long. Now when thinking about it the next day, it is probably not that bad of a first attempt.
…

I am in a race of sorts, where we all have to pick up a racing car with varying abilities and proficiencies, a bit like Mario carts. My vehicle is a mixture of a pig and an insect, and I know it isn't the fastest available, but I get a good start. At a point in the race I stop to marvel at I believe it is John Cleese, who is lifting his cart up to the second floor within a moving truck and running it through it so he can get out on the other side. I don't know why he is doing this, but the action does seem somewhat rational, like he might have picked up a card from a deck that tells him to do this.
…

I am talking to someone about some activity that will excuse me from social interaction, and I tell people I like it, besides that it means that I can shower up to 5 times a day which is good.
…

I am at a construction site, a big one and I ma there to test the lift going up to the roof where the actual construction is taking place. As I walk out I am a bit uncertain and frightened because there are no rails, it would be easy to fall down. I walk into the building and I get the impression that it is a stadium they are constructing. I notice that I have actually gone over an area where you can see down to the ground and it would be possible to fall between the pieces of wood supposed to hold the roofing so I quickly find a more suitable place to stand.

I speak with one of the people working there, and all of a sudden I am employed as a worker. I know I have no expertise in this area so I tell them, that they need to instruct me for whatever they want me to do.

We are putting on the roofing, it is made of plastic, it is blue and the way it works is that you slide your new piece under the one that has already been put down and make them sort of click together in a trench. I ask if gloves would be needed for that and the guy currently putting out pieces tells me it would help as the otherwise there is a risk of injuring your hand.

He tells me that he will probably need me to crawl out over the edge again and start putting down pieces out there. He then say that he probably wouldn't ask me to crawl in such an unsafe location, but I tell him that I don't mind. I have done worse when I was little and besides that the pieces of wood are so close together that it is difficult to fall through, yet I am a bit nervous still.

I am on the ground with a piece of roofing and I am explaining to one of my mates that it is a different type of plastic than your average shed roof. It is more resilient and difficult to penetrate.

Hours of slep 11
Vividness: 3/5
Recall: 2/5
I'm in front of a club I use to go out sometime. A close friend of mine is also their. We walk in but we don't met a single guy from security. I'm a bit confused, but don't tell me any further questions. We enter and it seems that there are only twenty people in there. Also the bar was different from realityI find this odd but I just keep on walking inside. We go over the place the bar used to be and we turn to the right part of the dancefloor.
At the other side, there is the bar, but it looks like it was made of a few benches and of carton. Again I'm wondering what this has to mean. I ask my friend what the heck this means. He tells me that they are renovating the clubI believe him. We go to the bar and he asks e if I would like to have a beer. I said no 'cause I wasn't in the mood and sayed I should order a coke instead. He orders and he asks me for money. I give him coupons (like if we were at some open field concert). He gives me a coke and an hotdog. I eat it first (without remembering I just wanted a coke). While drinking my coke, he asks me if I would like to drink tequilla.
Again I said no and said that I have stomach ache. Behind me there was an Indonesian woman and she started to laugh. I ignore her at first. My friends start a conversation:

Friend: So what's going on between you and Nathalie?
Me: Nathalie? Well I told you last month that there is nothing going between me and her. Hey dude? Why are you so strange tonight?

Again the Indonesian woman starts to laugh. I turn myself towards her

Me: Why are you laughing at me?
DC: I just realized that I know you from somewhere.
Me: But I've never met you!
DC: I know, but it seemed that Nathalie talked to me about you. And you just fit in so perfectly in her description.
Friend: So you know Nathalie, right? So what do you know from her?

What the fuck is happening here? She starts to talk about her, about her boyfriend and such stuff. Suddently a friend of university appears. They stop her conversation.

Friend2: Hello Grischka. How are you
Me: A bit confused about the things that are going on here.
Friend2: Oh I know this feeling. There are days you wish you never left your bed

I awake.

Amazon Facility
I was in the Amazon rainforest with a group of other people, we went into this building where a bunch of people were being kept, they all looked hurt in some way. There was also a Predator from the films there as well. Every time we went into an elavator, this emotionally troubled girl would try and kill us all by trying to make it fall. Eventually she succeeded on her thirdy try, but only one person died, and I narrowly escaped. I separated myself from the group and went into a room with a large number of people on computers, I tried speaking to them, but woke up.

Walking to school
First day back at school after summer. I got a message from a friend telling me to bring a bag of ice, so I did. This woman decided to walk with me because she was heading in that direction. There was a large cloud which was really dark and had a bit of red in it. I asked if it was "going to rain" and it did so I said "never mind" throughout, I looked at the time on my phone, I'm guessing reality checks, due to the phone having a digital clock. I eventually met my friends, and the woman left. I woke up.

My alarm clock is useless... i set it at ~5-6 hours after sleep practically every single night.. Guess what, i always wake up after full sleep and the alarm rarely shows it even went off. what a bunch of crap.

Fragments ; dunno, i think i recall a stone bench. and a brick wall. I might or might not have been bouncing on top/over this wall. Someone or myself might have called me Bright eyed and crazy. I take that as a compliment.

Some really stupid shit where i wake up in the middle of the night. Dream of looking out my window at passer-by's. Even tho i was consious about being in bed.. i didn't think it was at all strange that i was looking trough a window with my eyes closed. no lucidity here.

I was at a school of some kind and I had a few teachers that I was fighting with. Apparently there had been some kind of dictatorship forced upon us and they were doing some kind of terrible experiments on the people and would turn them in to a kind of zombie. For some reason there was some kind of connection with Toy Story and that I had to keep these two toys safe. Eventually I had to escape from the school so I hid in the back of a truck that was leaving and was nearly home when they had caught up to me. It was a very exciting battle but what I had to do was grab the two toys and run away. I ended up hopping a few fences and ended up in the back of my neighbor's yard, which for some reason, my girlfriend and her family plus friends were in the background surrounded by these large bushes. I laid behind the bushes for a bit and tried to flag my girlfriend to come closer but it seemed that everyone had noticed me and my battle that I had just a few moments before. For some reason her Mom actually supported me in my battle (This is strange because her mother hates me) around then is when I woke up.

I haven't recorded the past two days even though I had dreams. Haven't had much time to sleep resulting in me not being able to go lucid. I haven't gone lucid in the past 3 days because of that. I need more realities checks or something. I definitely have a lot more sense when I'm dreaming but it doesn't feel like I have any control.

Non-Dream/Lucid/Non-Lucid

DREAM 1: I was at a doctor. After consulting me he started presenting me an artifact that he found. That artifact had the power to grant you any wish if you remembered the spell used to exorcise people.
I grabbed the artifact from the doctor's desk and took it with me at home. I was standing in bed and I was thinking about the exorcism spell. I just couldn't remember it!! I tried to search it on the internet and I couldn't find it. I even tried to ask everyone I know...no one seemed to know the spell.
I suddenly remembered a little part of the spell. The artifact started to shine and repeat what I was saying (with a kind of robotic voice) and I was wishing for a soup to appear out of nowhere in my desk to test its abilities even when I remembered a part not the whole spell. It was some kind of a weird strange soup, but at least it gave me what I wished for.
DREAM 2: I was leaving my house with an Egyptian gate in front of my door to protect it (we'll get to that later >_>). After I got outside I found my mom talking with Nela (a friend of her) and a cute puppy. He was staying very near me trying to get my attention. I grabbed him and promised him that if he comes with me at home to check if my gate is all right I will scratch him (what was weird was that he was carefully listening me and he actually understood everything I said).
I went back to home just to find my gate stolen...I was trying to get help from a neighbor, cos I was afraid someone entered in my house to steal things from there as I left the door closed thinking that the gate would...you know...do its job? [one of my neighbors came; she opened the door carefully; we sneaked to see if someone was in there...] After seeing that the house is all right, I came back outside with the puppy. I scratched him on the belly as I promised and he seemed very thankful.

(This entry is named after one of my favorite comic series.)

I arise from my bed, a great horned demon. I am surrounded my demons waiting to attack me. I exhale, then inhale them into me. I chew them up, and spit them out, laughing.

"To the MOO- wait... nightmares? Some silly boys wants some silly nightmares?" I morph into Fear Form, a disgustingly terrifying bloated beast monster with hypodermic needles sticking out from all over my body. I roar, and baby spiders pour out of my mouth, and swarm over my body.

missing time

I am at Stonehenge, on the sacrificial stone. All the dreamers are around me, sleeping in coffins. I grab the fabric of time and space, and ripple it, flipping the dreamers into Outer Space. They awake groggily. I morph into a Shadow Demon with glowing red eyes.

Three are frozen with fright. Two of them laugh, and one wakes up from shock. Another two are still asleep.

The frightened ones suddenly absorb some kind of strange colored metallic armor from nowhere, and giant swords. We have an epic battle in space, and I forget about the nightmares.

missing time

I am with Raven at the Balancing Pools. We step in. I somehow have an excess of both dark and light energy. Apparently it was spinning around me inside, churning, which led to ill calm.

missing time

MOSH! Oh my God, your Inner World is magnificently strange. He opens a door to the back of the house... We are on a mountain in a tropical rainforest. There are rainbows, and colorful birds... The beauty is so overwhelming, all I can do is stare. Strange spacecraft fly by...

Is this the Land of Aud? Are we on the Green Moon?

No.

This, Man of Shred, is your Hidden Potential, I find myself saying to him.

Raven steps out from the house and stands next to me. The three of us stand in silence, just taking it all in.

MoSh opens a portal, and pulls Sam out. She is in obvious distress. We do healing on her. She calms down, and looks MoSh in the eyes. I hear him whisper, "Be hear with me, now."

I feel overwhelmed with empathic emotion, and I turn to hide my tears.

Raven says it's time to return to the Healing Glen. I nod. We return and do mutual healing on each other. The Frost Giant appears, and blows healing herbs on us, then gives us all pomegranate juice.

Deleted

Hey everyone, I discovered a technique that is a variation of DEILD that I read about in the book "the Guidebook for Astral Travel" It's used for inducing LD's and the first time I tried it I got 3 ld's. I then showed it to my friend and the first time he tried it he got two. So I think it's very effective. What you do is when you wake up from a dream, you keep your eyes closed, and passively observe the images that come into your head. As they start to come they will eventually form into a dream scene. When that happens you have to passively help shape the dream scene, and then try to thrust yourself into this dream scene. I do this by trying to walk in the dream scene as its forming. This should happen within 20 or so seconds. I suggest everyone try it, it worked amazingly for me. And please don't post "this is just DEILD" I know it is, it's just a little different.

I know this was the last of a few dreams, but I don't remember the others--this is the most boring one though.

I was running a film festival for school and I was facilitating the entire event.
People started showing up and they all wanted pancakes. I started making pancakes but not fast enough for the people that wanted them. And for some reason no one would sit down without me first putting a chair down for them. (it had a slight resemblance to diner dash in view and action).

I at some point sat down with a friend from school Alyssa G. and she was talking about it is almost her birthday and she is turning 26. I was confused because I thought she was WAY younger that that (irl she is 19) I tell her it is a week until my b-day and I am almost 21. She is surprised at how young I am. Suddenly my old friend Alex I. is there and he is talking to me about school. He says that we are going to graduate at the same time and we should plan making a film together. I was confused because even though we started at the same time irl he dropped out for a while and started going to another school in a totally different major. I decided not to bring it up and just agreed to what he was saying.

I go back to making pancakes and am putting one at each station people are sitting at. I then have the extremely lame epiphany that "when people eat pancakes, they want more then one! they want a stack! " I start making them faster. But all at once I know that no more people are coming and I tell everyone to take the pancakes at empty seats. They do, and everyone is good to go.

I stop and relax until cleaning crews come to clean up the event.

1. I'm cripplingly depressed, but I'm riding my bike anyway to meet my brother behind an old Blockbuster in my hometown. The store has been repurposed into a porn store, and I go in and buy something. I see my mom exit from the nearby Walgreens, so naturally I drop the porn and meet her. Rest of DJ is unintelligible.

2. I'm hanging out/jamming with my friend Scott A. in the basement of my house. Q and S.T. come over. I go to greet them, but in my clumsiness I start a chain reaction that breaks a bunch of lamps. None of my friends seem to particularly care, but I grab a vacuum cleaner anyway. As I go for it, I realize I'm hungry. I take the vacuum with me and grab my bicycle, heading to my college cafeteria. Along the way, I am insulted about my age by Nathan S. and other jackasses from college. I ignore them and head into the cafeteria, where I first enter the bathroom.

3. I'm playing a Star Trek version of the TIE Fighter video game. I successfully pilot a starfighter against impossible odds, several capital ships at a time. There's then a "trench run" sequence as in Star Wars, where I follow a freighter into a massive building. It's decorated as a nightclub for giants, and there's a critical spot on the floor that I need to shoot. I can't keep my craft steady enough to shoot and use the tractor beam at the same time and fail the mission.

Written at 3:20 AM

I had a dream about me and three other guys in my study abroad group -- Aaron, Fusto, and Micah. We were in Kansas and then we went to a convenience store. At the store, I bought a pack of cigarettes and something else and they charged me $6000. So we were shocked. Then I looked at the cash register and it actually said that I owed $0.21. So I pointed it out and only had to pay that much.

Then this old lady was driving us around and I told her not to hit the deer. The lighting was weird. You could see all the deer's legs, but you couldn't see the actual deer. And I was terrified of us crashing into them.

I remember seeing a buck and telling the old lady, "don't hit the buck or the antlers might kill us."

Micah was excited because he'd never seen deer before or something. And then the sun started to come out and we could see all the animals. The deer were hard to see in the dark.

(I obviously need to pay more attention to numbers and stuff written down in my dreams. If I had recognized the glitchy cash register as a dream sign, I might've been able to get lucid... Gotta pay attention to that kinda stuff.)
