3rd lucid - As A Ninja (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The dream started out at a sort of temple/hall with Cameron, Alex (Dark_Merlin) and I. We walked out of the hall into a hallway, it was held up by big red wooden pillars and lit up by candles on the red pillars.
We reached a round kind of 4-way-intersection in the hallway. Cameron and I decided to duel with our swords. He stood across from me, we circled once and then leapt at each other. Our swords clashed in the middle. After about a minute of two of slow sword fighting, our speed and strength increased by far. With each clash, the metal of our swords clanged and the sound of steel hitting each other filled the hallways. Alex disappeared when the fight started.
I noticed a crowd beginning to form around the circular intersection. They were all wearing robes, samurai-styled robes. I think we were a clan of ninjas. Cameron must have lost his attention, or i struck him by surprise. He toppled over in pain.
In looked down on the ground, his arm was sliced off. A clean slice, but no blood spilled out. The arm looked like plastic. The crowd emerged on us and healers came forward, the healers were taller and wore binge coloured robes, like Chinese monks. They carried Cameron onto a small mattress and address his wounds. I don't remember seeing them pick up his cut-off-arm but I saw his arm bandaged.

The next the that happened, Cameron and I were in a tower of a castle(our ninja clan's castle, presumably), within the tower was like a mosquito net, I think it was supposed to conceal us. We were being attacked, Alex's clan members were running infront of our castle. They wore a full navy-blue ninja set. Taking out his bow, Cameron looked at me and said, 'Good thing, now I snipe these bitches.' He alway's was the sniper type.
Arrows were shot up at us with rope attached to the end of them. I pulled out my samurai sword and sliced the arrows in half lengthwise. I grabbed the arrows by the end and pulled them out of the wall, all while Cameron started shooting at the enemy clan.
I jump out of the tower and over a fence. The next thing I know, i'm in my bedroom. Sneaking out the hallway, i checked the kitchen before i walked out. Then I went to check the main loungeroom. IMPOSTERS! There were 3 navy-coloured ninjas. I threw the arrows I was holding at them, but it did nothing. I leapt at them and swung my katana. They went down easily.
I got lucid here. I summoned a hot chick to the right of me. I'm fairly sure i received a BJ. Thinking of one of my dream goals to manipulate time using a door, i jumped back to my room. Then I woke up.

Sort of a wierd dream, it sort of progressed with me phasing in and out from 2 different perspectives one from the side of the "avatar" people and one from obviously the soldiers.
But it was on a sort of beach and in the disatance was a metallic facility it had a sort of halo feel to it.
I was first in the perspective of the avatar guy and i was with the female one although she was more aquatic and had black but wet hair and her fingers were like "fish" like, a little bit like the fingers of the "prawns" from district 9 but small.
Anyway me and a group of us swap accross the small coral to another part of the island.
As we were pulling each other out of the water one of the guys bent down and puckered his lips for the girl, i gave him a peck and he opened his eyes and we all laughed and cheered, he wasn't impressed.
We then got up onto the rocks and walked along for a while.

Now i was in the perspective of a soldier, i was walking along this same beach i was on earlier and i had two other guys in uniforms walking behind a sort of catapult (yes the ones you see on world of warcraft)


Anyway it started to drive underneath a rocky arch and i remember thinking "it might not fit" as the top of the catapult scraped the top of the rock. Now this thing was about 8-9 feet high it was huge. it smashed its way through a barrier and i saw some of these blue people run back, they had hunters fire arrows at the catapult and the catapult launched a giant rock killing 3 of them. The rest retreated, upon killing them some wolves appeared, they looked more like giant beastly hyena's and they could speak english.

One said "kill them" the other said "no stay with them for now they may be quite useful." So we headed up into this metal facility together, before i knew it i was on my own and one attacked me, i pushed him to the side and ran back, i grabbed a table in the corridor and smashed it into the next one pushing it right into the wall killing it, two more of them jumped over the table and ran at me, i punched one and threw the other behind me i stamped on the one from earlier.

I woke up was really wierd but cool dream

See, normally, when you mantra/ auto-suggest, you'd say something along the lines of 'I will lucid dream' or 'a dream character will tell me i am dreaming'. But, you could be wording the mantra to make your brain think Lding is hard. try to word it differently. Think of lucid dreaming like something as easy as eating pie, and word your mantras as if you were gonna eat pie. Say something like 'I can't wait to [insert LD goal here]' or ' My LD will be so awesome tonight'

let me know what you think

i had a dream last night that i was late for work and i can remember checking my watch twice, once at 10 an once at 10.30, i cant remember seeing the time buut i do remember looking at my watch. i was suddenly walking to work with my brother and he asked me to go with him quickly and we went to some sort of party and it was people from my work and school, because people from my work were there i though it was all good and i dint need to go into work, after a few drinks i start to relise that my manager was not there and that i really should be at work at this point!

this dream seemed it lasted alot longer than my usual dreams or i was able to remember more of it.

still gutted that i should have been more aware of the time and RC'd

I was at T's work with him and I had my son with me. They were getting really busy and he asked me to help out. I handed my son to one of the employees and they looked at me like I was crazy, lol. I went and put a headset on and realized they had changed to hand-head-sets, if that makes sense. I was putting the thing together and asked T why they changed. He said they were cheaper. Then I went to take an order and all of a sudden T's like, Ok, let's go. I take the set off and follow T out the door. He told me to get in the car with RB. The name was familiar, I knew a guy by reputation where I used to go to school, but he didn't look anything like him, so I figured they just had the same name. The guy was in a white pick up truck. It wasn't OLD, but it was probably a mid90's version. I'm bad with cars, by the way. The guy was either bald or just had a really short cut, his head was round and he had a goatee. He looked serious. I turned to T and asked him if he was going back in to get our son. He said we were going to leave him for a minute and go check on something. I asked him why we were leaving our car here and he said it got repossessed, assuming from a bill we haven't paid yet. I looked for where we had parked it and it was gone. I was getting worried. We drove to our house, only it was actually my mother's house. We checked the door to see if they had changed the locks on us, but we were able to get inside. Then we went back to his job to get our son. I don't remember much after that.

I had went to bed at 2am and had that dream and woke up at 3:55. I'm trying to record how quickly I fall into REM. I'm thinking I'm one of those people that can go right into REM, I was watching a documentary about it. After all this, I had a long dream but I can only remember bits and pieces of what it was about.

I had failed to do something and T and my sister had been there and some others. They were all sort of shunning me for it, and leaving me, including T. Somewhere in this dream I saw a work schedule with my name on it from a place I worked almost a year ago. I had seen my name on for night shift and was kind of upset because I lived an hour away (and do in WL) and my uncle knew I couldn't work those hours. I noticed that my hours got cut also and I was trying to leave but then these girls started showing up and they wanted to fight me. I was having a hard time trying to fight them and they were laughing at me. I remember crying really hard for a LONG time, I think I was sitting in a closet or in the doorway of a room. I was just crying and crying, and it felt so real, the sadness and just feeling abandoned and rejected. Then I got up and grabbed something and started REALLY trying to hurt these girls who were laughing at me. I remember yelling at them saying I know I may be a shitty fighter but I wasn't afraid to pick something up and go crazy with it. Which is what I did. Then all I can remember is fighting robots, they looked like children toys, plastic and colorful making little beeping noises. I keep getting vague flashbacks just out of reach of my memory and it's annoying. Hopefully I will remember.

I just feel like I dreamed the whole ten hours I got to sleep. Does anyone ever feel like that sometimes? I don't understand, I'll go a few days without hardly remembering anything and then to so many dreams that I cannot remember details. My head needs to work things out.

We are going with 4 people, with our family by train to Rotterdam. We have to transfer to another train. I get off the train, but don’t see the other family members. Soon a train leaves and I guess the family members are in it. I don’t have a ticket myself. I look at the platforms and timetables. I don’t see any timetables. I see a man on the station, but find him annoying, I don’t understand him and pay little attention to him.

I'm just having the same dreams over and over. Many about Zooni, where she is alive again in one way or the other.

And recurring dreams about going back to school, some time passing, and not seeing Felix, and becoming anxious/feeling dread.

Every night, man.

I. Late

This dream starts with me eating dinner with my parents in the house I grew up in. I don’t remember the conversation all that well but at one point I am trying to convince them to come to a show I have that night with one of the local bands I play in (a thousand miles away from this house…) She doesn’t want to be out late, etc. I tell her that the singing isn’t the best but I really like the writing and she would also.

As I am washing my dish in the sink, S.A is suddenly there and tells me they are focusing more on the vocals now. She starts singing either the song “Lie Down” or a song that I’ve never heard before; either way what strikes me now thinking about it is that she is somehow singing in harmony with herself.

I am not sure of the reason, but I then travel to the venue where the show is at without any of my equipment. I think I may have been under the impression that the show had been cancelled. I am on my bike and for some reason I bring it to the second floor of a building I’ve never been in. I text J.L to see if the show is still happening, then realize he’s standing on the stage directly in front of me, with several girls behind him and to his left (I suppose this the new “vocal emphasis,” I do not recognize anybody on the stage as being actual band members. They are standing eerily still.

I ask him if the show is on and, if so, when are we playing. He replies that we are to start in a couple of minutes. I am now in a hurry, my absolute least favorite state of affairs. I think about biking down the flight of stairs which I walked up to get into this room, however I see a chain link fence right in front of the doorway at the bottom so I decide this is a bad idea. A 12-ish year old kid looks at me strangely.

Despite my haste, I apparently manage to write down a dream I’d had earlier that night (and remember virtually none of now) in sidewalk chalk down about a hundred yards’ worth of sidewalk on my college campus. All I remember of this is fixing one word. It may have been the word “Directions.” I have to correct myself on making an E, and then have to go back to the beginning of the word to put a D where I’ve accidentally written a B. I am evidently lost in thought so none of this strikes me as out of the ordinary at the time. After this slight detour I find myself back in my actual house in North Carolina.

I am racking my brain trying to figure out everything I’m going to need. I wake up A.L, who is asleep in the living room, and tell him it’s time to go play this show. He walks like a zombie out the front door. I do not even recall whether or not he put a shirt on. Meanwhile I am trying to consolidate all my pedals, and find my black button-up shirt – I had noticed that everyone on the stage was dressed quite nicely.

I am then in a car, presumably on the way to the show, however C.A and E.M are in the car with us for some reason. C.A, in the back seat next to me, is talking about how she is moving out the next day, and how difficult her roommate is to get out of the house. She also mentions that the show is supposed to end at 7:45, and this worries me greatly as I look at the clock inside the car and it is about 7:10. About here is where this dream ends.

II. Fragment – Speeding Over Hills with Miles

At some point last night, I was in some sort of inner tube that went very quickly across land with Miles Davis. We were trying to get somewhere in a hurry. The landscape was extremely hilly. At one point the craft flipped around and I found myself propelling us forward with my feet as fast as I could in a Fred Flinstone-esque fashion.

So this dream starts out in Ventura, the town I was born in. Me and my family is watching a news report showing heated debate about something. One side is arguing about using nuclear weapons more extensively, after developing a particle that destroys radiation, the Rwanda particle (not sure why I picked Rwanda). Somehow things escalate so quickly that one side ends up nuking Los Angeles. my family ends up getting into a vault type bunker, and live for ten years in it, until we get a GLaDOS type voice telling us that radiation levels are minimal. we head up, and somehow all of california is a wasteland, like Fallout. Anyway, my dad is killed by the monsters, who look a bit like the Zerg and only attack at night, and I become the head of the family. Somehow we can just drop down guns and building materials from the sky, and manage to hold them off. I use the days to work on the upgrading the shack, and teaching two people, whose faces I never see in the dream, how to play a saxophone and a tuba. For some reason the guy playing the tuba is in a granary, and the woman's saxophone looks like a trumpet... anyway, i finally send for a huge vehicle to get us all out, and we make it back to Arizona, where there is a huge area set up for refugees, that happens to be in my high school, which makes me suspect that the blast affected about half of AZ, since I live in the center... Anyways, I end up causing the entire evil corp, who was apparently run by GLaDOS mixed with Rosie, to revolt against her, and give me a piece of paper, somehow worth a million dollars... I also steal a pretty rock, as its a gemstone mining corp... So this robot starts living with me and the veteran soldier, and we found out it can manufacture water and Rwanda particles using any sort of matter. It then proceeds to switch the soldiers Rwanda needle with arsenic, killing him. The robot splits in half revealing a blood spattered iron maiden, and that's where i woke up.

Buying a Farm (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream was very short but it generally left me feeling a little uneasy. Drew and I were visiting a Farm that we wanted to rent out. Our only expenses were going to be gas, rent and one other thing. I can't remember what that was. We were both very pleased with the farm even though the colors outside were very muted, almost like we were in an old black and white movie. I 'remembered' that the farm was in a worse state than the 'last time' we were here in that now it had electricity and internet and that the paint inside was fresh and bright.

The farmer wasn't even happy about having his farm rented out, though. I don't remember many animals (I had a dream about this very place once in the past, I think) but I remember that they were there. I only remember one fuzzy white animal and I think it was either an alpaca (or llama, whatever) or a goat.

After the farmer made it clear that he didn't want us there by avoiding us and looking very displeased, I went outside. The details here are a little fuzzy. But I came back inside and the house was full of squatters. I only remember not being happy that they were here.

There's a gap in my dream but from here, I was in an overhead view, looking down at 'my character' like I was playing a videogame. I was looking for something in the desert (which was outside the farmhouse now) and I passed an oasis. I didn't feel the heat or the thirst. Then, it felt more like I was playing a videogame when I was viewing the 'map' from above and my 'character' turned into an icon. Next thing I knew, I really was playing a videogame. I -think- there was a celebration? I know I was trying to make my way back to the farm, though and I travelled around a mountain. The rest is a blank.

Can't remember most of this one... it had something to do with building blocks or something, probably due to playing too much minecraft haha. Not really sure what else to say.

6/28/2011

This is by far one of the weirdest dreams I’ve had. First I think I woke up in my room and my dad was ready to go to work (probably because he was already going to work before I slept to attempt a lucid dream). He looked through my Zune HD player and saw that I had some "stuff", and started to chuckle a bit. I think he even said “You better stop with that” in a neutral tone. Then I had a dream where I went to Hooters, but I NEVER been to Hooters. So I guess my mind manifests this underground brothel that’s dark with some turquoise lighting. It was going good, I didn’t see anyone have sexual intercourse, but I think I spotted a blonde sleeping and went up to her to wake her up.

Note I said everything went find until I saw Itachi Uchiha, apparently he was the #1 server for Hooters, and he was having intercourse with these people. I’m thinking “wtf Latent Homosexuality?!?!?!” He was having sex with men and everything! Now even though I’m not into that, I respect those who have those preferences, anyway, it was freaking ITACHI UCHIHA. I thought he was going to MANGEKYOU SHARINGAN my ass if I came closer to him. I thought that was weird enough, until Orochimaru came in a hood outfit (sorry if I spelled his name wrong). Itachi couldn’t see him from that far, but I was close to him apparently. So Orochimaru started to come closer to Itachi to have a bit of fun, but Itachi went all MANGEKYOU SHARINGAN on Orochimaru, which was apparently a defensive reflex that the manager announced. While that weird crap was starting, I was finding a random blonde girl to have some fun with, but the only contact I remembered was seeing one sleeping and me waking her up.

I had another short dream where I was leaving a store with my mother, and some employer called her a bitch. But I and everyone else were laughing. Meh whatever…

I was in my house and I just knew I was dreaming. I decided to fly out of the house, so I flew through the wall and I was out. The dream started to get dark but I could still see everything. Instead of me seeing it with what felt like my eyes I saw it like I was imagining it. I flew through some other objects that I dont remember. I then decided to teleport to the frost giants yard area. I rubbed my hands, but then i dissconected from the dream. I thought I woke up and I told mom in the computer room at 12 PM about my lucid dream. Even tho my clock read 4 AM before the lucid. I did a reality check and it said i was awake. The dream ended.

I need to start using two reality checks.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID NIGHTLY ADVENTURE

Good morning! Didn't recall a single fragment from last night. But was up and at it last night again, the damn shelf we've put up above our heads. I woke up and grabbed it, Monica wrote down what I said.

22.30 Sleep

23.40: Nightly Adventure
*I wake up and grab the shelf above my head. "Oh shit!" I say. Monica who's at the computer reacts. "What?" "Fuck I was so fast!" I say. "Did the shelf almost fall down?" she asks me. "Yeah" I say and fall back asleep.

05.10: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 6½ hours

Supplements: None

That's it! Second night in a row, and I expect to be at that damn shelf for a very long time before I'm confident it won't fall down on my head. I was afraid my snowboard would fall for atleast a year before I stopped having hallucinations about that damned thing. Oh well, might aswell remove it again haha!

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

So last night was one of the first nights a few of us decided to try and dream share. The goal was to meet at the top of The Empire State Building in NY and set of a beacon of light so others who were looking to do the same thing might be able to meet with another dreamer.
To prepare for the night I did some light meditation and mantra to focus on completing the main task at hand. I also watched youtube videos of the Empire State Building as well as NY at night in order to gain detail about the surroundings themselves.

Well last night I attempted such a task and here are my dream results.

My first dream (or the one I could remember) happened between the hours of 12am to about 4:53am EST. The setting was not NY however but a sort of bayou (sp?) that you would expect to find maybe down south in Louisiana. I did not achieve any sort of lucidity in this dream but it was quite vivid. I was at this particular location because I was supposed to get an interview for a local newspaper. I was supposed to interview the owner of this sort of mansion style home that was located right on top of a swamp. The setting for this dream was at night, and I remember hearing crickets surrounding the area. The trouble was that a tornado (I know, weird in the south right?) was predicted to just tear right through this home. I was also with another woman, maybe my partner on this particular article. She was taller than me, maybe about 5'8" and had curly brown hair and glasses. We were afraid for our lives because of the more dangerous weather but the owner of the home did not seem as concerned, as if he dealt with this sort of thing on a daily basis. The winds started to pick up, and that is when I awoke to reality.

I immediately wrote down in my dream journal, not really a summary but key words as it was dark and I did not want to forget anything. I got a glass of orange juice, knowing that it may help with my recall. I remember that people who had successfully achieved a WILD would wake up in the middle of the night and try to jump back into a lucid dream, I figured now would be as good a time as ever to try it. (Personally I am a light sleeper so getting up even the slightest amount keeps me up a while) So, after returning to bed just 5 min after I originally awoke I found it hard to get back to sleep and it took me about an hour to finally fall back to sleep. (which was not easy because at this time bird were beginning to sing).

My second dream was about the same as far as vividness but I believe I might have been semi lucid....I remember actually being inside the Empire State Building. I had made it to the target destination. I had gone to the top to find dozens of people up there. It was night and it seemed like the reason that they were up there was because of some sort of death match between two human opponents. They were fighting on platforms that were suspended in mid air just beyond the ledge of the building. (I assume the loser of the match would fall to his death). I remembered that I needed to create a beacon of some sort but I couldn't remember why I needed it. Basically I did not achieve enough lucidity to actually dream share. I manifested the yellow light and pushed it up in the air, I also made the beacon kind of pulsate light. The beacon was set and I was at the top of the building, but as I said I couldn't remember where to go from there. That didn't matter anyways because as soon as I set the beacon the dozens of DC on the roof all went completely ape shit and began to fight and gang up on one another intent on killing each other. I helped those that were about to get beat or tortured. It seemed like the people doing the beating were intent on cutting their prey with box cutters and razor blades. The ones I saved I made sure got to the elevator ok. Then I remember reloading the box cutters with new blades and saying to the attackers. "If anyone attacks me I cut your throat, got it?" Needless to say the DC stayed away from me. Then I saw my ex inside the building. I was concerned for her safety so I tried to follow her and get her out of the building. Then my dream kind of shifted to me going after my ex and the people with her in my dad's mini van. I had finally caught up with them and come to find out that the girl I thought was my ex was really just a disguise, a ruse to get me out of the building. Unfortunately I was unable to get back to the building because I soon woke up after my discovery.

So like I said, not really lucid but I think its great progress seeing as I actually got to the location and was able to manifest the beacon. My hopes for tonight is that I will become lucid and clear the roof of the building of any pesky DC and just wait to see if I make contact with another dreamer.
