      ...I transitioned pretty smoothly back into the dream state. I was staring at a dark sky. I sat up and noticed I was laying in the middle of the street. I stood up and looked around. The buildings were all dilapidated and many windows were busted out. I figured I was in the same environment as the previous dream. I wondered if there were still zombies everywhere. I then noticed someone running toward me off in the distance. I got a weird feeling that there was something behind me, so I took flight immediately. I looked down where I was and saw about 20 zombies close in on where I was previously standing. I flew out into the distance away from the city and toward a forest.

      The forest was thick, but not very deep. I flew through it in seconds and landed on the other side. I was now standing in a massive field. The previously high grass was bent over, yellowed, and dying. Of into the horizon, I could see a massive smoke cloud and fire bursting into the sky. I wondered if there some sort of explosion. I began to jog across the field when I noticed a huge black cloud approaching. As it got closer, I noticed it wasn't a cloud at all. It was a huge swarm of creatures. I zoomed in my eyesight by focusing on one of the creatures and imaging that I had an optical zoom installed in my right eye. They appeared to be man-sized, infected locust. I'm not a big fan of bugs in general, so I turned and hauled ass out of the field.

      I took flight and flew over top of the forest and back toward the city. I could hear the buzzing of the locust approaching me from behind. I was soon swarmed by the huge locust. I managed to fight off a couple of them, but was ultimately knocked out of the air my their massive numbers. As I fell, everything went pitch black. I felt my body slam hard into the ground, and my vision slowly came back into focus.

      It was now night time. I was in some sort of construction area/heavy machinery junkyard. There were massive steel beams connecting piles of trash, old cars, and giant machinery. The only light was produced by small fires scattered throughout the maze-like junkyard. I heard someone approaching and I knew it meant trouble. I ducked down behind a massive I-beam, but the guy spotted me and began shooting. I stood up and walked slowly toward him. He fired his whole clip into me and I just kept walking. The bullets felt pleasant. Like a gental massage. I ripped the gun (uzi) out of the soldiers hand, put the barrel to his head, and blasted him. I noticed an Umbrella patch on the soldiers arm sleeve. I then figured I would search for Chris Redfield and try to recruit him for my dream army.

      I took off running through the junkyard and got in a few shooting matches with some more umbrella soldiers wearing hunk-like masks. I won these easily as I performed some nifty acrobatics. A lot of dive-shooting and some hand-to-hand combat that ended with bullets to the brain. I finally found Chris shooting at some zombies infected with las plagas. I joined him in the gun fight. We shot down a couple zombies that had the parasite sprouting from their heads. I noticed that there was a massive group of zombies approaching us. Chris motioned for me to follow and we took off running toward a Jeep. We both jumped in and took off.

      There were now 5 of us in the Jeep. Me, Claire Redfield, and some other guy was in the back seat. Chris and Barry Burton were in the front. I asked where we were headed and Barry told me there was a place called, "Hilltop Haven." It was apparently free of infection. I offered to fly the jeep there, but they said we were almost there. I began to imagine zombies running out onto the road. A few moments later, zombies began wandering out into the road. Chris was screaming, "Wooooo Haaaa!" and flooring it. Zombies were being pummeled by the jeep. I cheered along with them and Claire started crying. I looked at her and she said, "What has the world come to?" I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her. I told her that it would be ok. I handed her a gun from the floorboard and told her to release some frustration. She then shot the guy who was sitting next to us. I was a little shocked and she smiled and said, "He was bitten. I noticed it earlier." I thought, "Well, shit. So much for helping a guy out by finding the antidote."

      We arrived at a large fenced in area at the very top of a hill. The fence was a pathetic-looking chainlink fence with barbed wire on top. I laughed at the thought of a zombie hoard being thwarted by this fence. Chris must have noticed because he told me to stay away from the fence. He said it had some crazy amount of high voltage running through it. Naturally, I walked right up to the fence and touched it. Electricity sparked as i touched it and I jerked my hand away. I looked and my hand had blue electricity flowing off the end of my fingertips (like in the demonstrations). I got back in the jeep and we entered the area. We pulled up to a decent sized log cabin. Claire grabbed my hand as I exited the vehicle and we entered the cabin. I told Chris that the dream will likely be ending soon and I would like him to join my army. He accepted as long as Claire had a position in the army as well. I agreed and obtained two more Stars of Destiny. Me and Claire through the cabin which had doors separating each room. Sometimes there were two or three doors back to back that you had to open. Finally we found the master bedroom that had a giant mirror running along the wall. I looked into the mirror and noticed I had dreadlocks. I started doing jumping jacks and my reflection was lagging behind. I awoke while playing in the mirror with my slow reflection

    2. Lucid kiss

      by , 03-22-2011 at 10:36 AM
      This is the first lucid I've had in a while. I ate Wensleydale cheese before going to bed - maybe that helped!

      I was in a spacious house. Everyone was getting ready for a big journey in a car, and a guy my age was packing up - I heard his family calling him "Hey, we've only got a few minutes to go, you can't pack both of those at the same time!" or something. "OKAY, OKAY!" he shouted back angrily. I knew there were two pretty girls in the house, and I wanted to impress them. I walked over to the guy. "Need me to carry one of those to the car for you? I can help," I said. Without me even noticing the change, this kid turned into my brother all of a sudden. "NO. I don't need anyone else screwing stuff up for me, I'm stressed enough already! Now piss off!"
      Needless to say, this made me pretty mad. There was some sort of drawing board in front of us, with a few diagrams sketched on it. Harnessing my mental power, I blew the drawing board to pieces just by wanting it to happen.
      "See what I can do? I asked if you wanted any help, and you told me to piss off. I can end this world, you know!" I said. Walking away from more sarcastic comments, I strode over to a window. At this point, I wasn't even lucid yet! Looking out the window, I saw a car parked in the road below. People were getting into it one by one. Realising what I'd just done, I came to the conclusion that I was dreaming.

      I think I jumped out the window then, landing safely. The two pretty girls were sitting in the front of the car. "Now or never," I thought. I walked over to the car and got in. One of the girls turned round to face me. "This is it! My perfect chance," I thought. But part of me still clung to reality. Everyone was watching me, and I feared their reactions. "If this isn't a dream, I'm screwed".
      I leaned in closer to the girl, and kissed her. She kissed back. Nobody else even cared! It was great to just kiss a complete stranger like that with no repercussions. When the beautiful kiss was over, I was going to get out of the car and run back into the house, which was my home, but I decided to stay in the car. I wanted to see where the journey would take us.
      "Looks like I'm staying, haha," I said, as we started to drive away. I felt myself losing clarity, so I rubbed my hands on the seats of the car and did a few reality checks, but nothing prevented my from falling into darkness, only to go into another dream.

    3. Where are my cities?

      Where are my cities? (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Business is taking over my life. I am trying to fight it back as my metaphysical live is very important for me. I am getting back into recording dreams.
      I still have decent recall, but I have not been writing them down, so here I start again.

      I had a false awakening and I ran to my computer. I wanted to check at my Ikariam game if they new upgrade happened. I wanted to pay premium and build my 11th city. (This is something that I was focused on waking. I was able to buy the premium and build in the brand new premium-only spot, but I was stressed before going to sleep that someone else would buy it)
      When I logged into the game, the game looked pretty similar, however, the list of cities looked different. When I checked my list of cities, I only could see six. I started to wonder where my other four cities were. I started to fill stressed. I click on the "View Island" icon. The island looked very distorted but I only found missing my cities. I found some empty spots, where my cities used to be, and no premium spot.

      This is how the game looks on real (a stoned ground can be seen with a new tiny blue city, that's the premium spot, I got it )







      I said out loud, "Where are my cities, what is going on with this game, looks weird!"

      I figured it was not possible. I checked my hands and looked OK, I tried to put a hand through another one without success. I decided to jump and pretend levitation. I succeeded and confirmed I was dreaming. I did not touch the ground. I reminded to myself that it has been a while and that I was happy to induce it the very first night I re-focused on it.
      The dream quality was bad, so I needed to fly. Without touching the ground, I opened my front door and left. I flew for a while when the dream started to become blurry. I focused in clarity with success.
      I flew over a beach and decided to take a breath underwater.

      I spent a while underwater I decided to start looking for Amity. I found some lady at the beach, but it was not Amity. For some reason I started to loose lucidity until the dream faded.

      I had another false awakening and went to my computer, to check Ikariam. When I opened the game, the premium spot was taking and I cursed out loud. Suddenly, I noticed the game looked very 3D. I could see elves and soldiers patrolling the cities, I could see (and even enter) the houses of the game. The game also had music. It was a Celtic flute based music, however, it felt like some sort of elvish spell. I was surprised of all the changes and wondered why did they went 3D with all the animations. The static images were perfect. After a while lurking in the whole new ikariam game, I woke up.

      My dreams..no nightmares are to real....
      I'm walking around at night a dim soft light falls from the street lamp but I pay no attiontion to it, I focus on the shadow..its body shifting about not clear to what it supose to be, but why? Why does it shift? Its attached to me am I shifting? The shadow would keep moving till it became a clear shape of a girl but a white smirt is dancing where a mouth should be I wonder how..
      Everything becomes darkness while sharp burning pain attacks me. Images of a knife in my gut I can see it clear as day and it hurts and burns so much!! My eye sockets burn from being pulled out slowly hooks, needles, saws, flame, knives, claws, teeth, acid, drowning, so much goes on in one dream I can't stand it and when I wake up my body is in pain not as bad as the dream but its like something is drstoying me slowly

    5. Prediction and Practicing a Dream Goal

      by , 03-22-2011 at 06:46 AM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      Prediction: I am going to have charged dreams tonight. I hope to go lucid.

      I had my first day of trucking school today. I drove a tractor trailer. This should be a great stimulus to induce great dreams. Also, I'm going to pretend to shoot fireballs from my hands and watch things blow up before I go to bed. I am hoping acting out will help me go lucid and have better control. I will then try to enter my nightmare.


      I have been talking with someone on DV who suggested that I pretend as I did when I was a kid, whatever my dream goal is. Much of that conversation took place last night. Before going to bed, I spent a little while pretending that I could shoot fireballs from my hands. Then I went to bed.

      I was in a park. A DC told me to pretend with my Dream Goal, so I started pretending that I was shooting fireballs at trees, that they exploded, and the explosion blew me backwards.

      The DC didn't seem to be impressed by my ability to pretend. Soon the DC tells me to look down the hill. I see my daughter with a lighted ball. This represents some kind of success. It is "like a fireball." It was pretty cool, and I suppose it was a great tool to pretend it is a fireball.

      My daughter throws it up to me, and I turn and throw it up to my son. We play this for couple throws until one time I throw it to my son and it doesn't make it all the way to him. It starts to roll towards him, but turns and goes across the street.

      The next thing I know he is across the street with the ball. I run over to him and explain that he has to look both ways. It is a $1.00 ball that I can buy again, and nothing is more important than him being safe. At that point, the ball was not the lighted ball anymore.

      This wasn't what I wanted for last night, but at least my intention came through in my dreams.

    7. Three Blind Dreams

      by , 03-22-2011 at 05:27 AM (My Second Life)
      I was driving with a friend ive never met before sitting in the passanger seat. When all of a sudden couple of guys jumped onto the hood of the car yelling and screaming at my buddy.
      For some reason they were after him, as he got out he had super speed and ran quickly away all the men chased him down the street not caring about me.
      I stop to look around, the beautiful vivid blue sky staring into me, and glass sky scrapers surrounds me. I meet up with my friend and we run into a hotel. Running up the stairs we quickly find a room which is unlocked and we lock ourselves inside. I quickly hide under the bed as he runs into the closet. Everything faded from here.

      Next dream i was Cutting planks of wood with some cast members of the Band of Brothers.
      The boss is yelling at us tell us to put the finished piece of wood against the wall behind some bungee cords.
      we were using these big machines with attached electric saws, slowly we pushed these logs through to make these planks.
      after we put our first board on the wall the dream began to fade.

      In my final dream last night, i was at some type of flea market. I was standing next to an old asian man when he is handed a piece of cloth
      with drumsticks in it. He seems to be upset that a man handed him it for something at his station I tell him i'll go find the guy who ripped you off.
      Someone says theres a man waving his fist at people wanting to fight. Right after that i see him down an isle in the market.
      When i got close to him, he comes quick at me and attempts to kick me. I grab a board from this display next to me and held it infront of my leg and kicked it hard.
      he says ow. He looks at me questionably and goes for another try but again I hold the board infront and block his kick with mine. After 2 more kicks he falls back and is looking up at me.
      Right as that happend the old asian man turns the corner and picks his pocket for five dollars... I look at him and said, I did all this for 5 bucks ?! and i laughed and woke up

    8. Class Warfare: A Violent Future

      by , 03-22-2011 at 05:15 AM
      The start of this dream is very hazy, although the recollected portion contains an element that was connected to the forgotten beginning. The visuals were all very realistic. This dream is similar to Monstrous Distant Future.

      Myself, and a group of people were being stalked by well armed men. We made our way through what looked like a heavily fortified underground base. The halls were illuminated future blue and made of smooth cement with digital entry pads. We made our way through a huge metal door and it shut behind us. Now we were inside some kind of military garage.

      It was almost pitch black, so I took out my flashlight. (This is my newest flashlight in real life.) I was looking around at different items, I could distantly hear the well armed men outside still. My battery died on my flashlight. (In real life, the batteries are getting low and need to be replaced soon.) I looked in my pockets for another flashlight and could only produce two highlighter pens. (Both in real life are low on ink also!) Someone else turned on there flashlight, and I saw a few armored vehicles around that looked as if they were being repaired from small arms fire.

      One area contained a crashed vehicle that had been chasing us earlier in the dream. I remember thinking we should scavenge it for whatever we could, but the crash seemed very eerie. I lost my nerve to take the dead people out of it.

      I made my way over to another heavy metal door with a glowing keypad. I exited the base into what appeared to be a residential neighborhood of three or four story buildings. These were condo like. Brown painted wood, with huge living room windows on the 2nd floor. Some of the group followed me out into this courtyard. Matte87 (from Dream Views) was one of them (he looked like he does in his profile picture). He seemed disgusted at how comfortable these people were, while our group was living like rats. (This was connected to something he mentioned in a recent Dream post.) He grabbed some rocks, and started launching them at this huge window - while just then a yuppie looking woman was walking up her stairs. I grabbed a coffee mug from off the ground and was about to launch next, but felt nervous to be caught.

      Some of our group had made their way up to a clubhouse in this complex with a bar. I heard one of the girls, who I hadn't seen yet, saying something outraged and insolent. Then she let out this terrible and guttural roaring belching sound followed by two loud clicks. Fire filled the entire bar area and bottles were exploding. I heard our group cheering. I wanted to see. So I climbed a set of stairs.

      When I arrived she had moved to the 3rd floor, and again I heard the same monstrous belching roar and two clicks. Followed by a flamethrower or furnace noise. I ran up two flights this time, and found a pleasant looking blond with a long pony tail standing in a small lounge area. She was surrounded by people who were expectantly waiting for her to destroy it. I said something close to, "Oh, let me see what you can do." She instantly became coy and said "I would but I don't want you to get a bad first impression of me." -I was suspecting something sinister now.

      I said, "Okay, I will just turn around and you can do it behind my back." She agreed, and for the third time, and the loudest, I heard this growling chattering burping roar followed by two sharp clicks, like giant teeth. Then came the furious furnace-like fire sound. I remember thinking:

      "This room is so small, she will burn everyone up."
      -Then I woke up.

    9. Bad Recall 3/21/11

      by , 03-22-2011 at 05:04 AM (Book of Dreams)
      I had bad recall last night, probably because I only got six hours of sleep, and I find I need at least nine to remember dreams vividly. I do, however, remember something about my mom, and for the life of me I couldn't remember her name. It was strange. I'm off to bed soon, and hopefully there will be more to report in the morning.

    11. 3/4 Sun: Weak Lucids

      by , 03-22-2011 at 04:53 AM (One Must Imagine Sisyphus Happy)
      I woke up 4 times to recall 4 dream and I am confident I was lucid in 3. They were very weak and hazy though, and they all devolved into sex dreams.

      fragment
      I am lucid but not sure how. I know I am dreaming but am immediately tempted into sex. Coitus ensues.

      Spiders
      Something about my father and two large tarantula spiders. I'm getting slightly better with my phobia of spiders but not completely over it. In the dream, as long as they are far away, I can tolerate them. But then one gets near me. I am sitting in a chair and it is on the floor. It walks close and I try to kick it away. But I miss with my foot. It gets even closer. I wake with a start, kicking away the sheets. Just a dream... Just a dream...

      fragment
      Another weak lucid like the first. I am lucid but not sure how. The dream ends up with sex.

      fragment
      Yes another lucid, but not sure how. I am slightly more lucid in this one compared to the others this night. I recall touching a wall to stimulate my sense of touch. But then it once again devolves into sex. I recall this time it was oral sex.

    12. The Soldiers

      by , 03-22-2011 at 04:21 AM
      It all started out in a desert at dusk. The sky was an dark orange color from all the dust that was lingering in the air. I was talking with my dad when an old friend of mine walked across and asked me what rubber-bands I wore for my braces. I responded telling her that I used to wear rubber-bands from a green package, but moved onto wearing them from a blue package. She then proceeded on her way and I resumed talking with my dad.

      The dream plot changed when a guy from a balcony not too far from me said that a gang had come into town and kidnapped children. My dad had disappeared on me so I followed some soldiers with weird, futuristic armor that were going to fight the gang. We all got into a car and drove on a curving road perched on a cliff when we saw the gang was putting kids into a van. I remember them wearing a brightly colored jackets and holding guns and a weird machine at the apex of the curve. The soldiers got out of the car and started firing at the gangs while simultaneously rescuing the children. Not only did the soldiers shoot at the gang, but they manipulated the environment around them to give them the advantage. They eventually pushed the gang back to some tree before the gang got the upper hand and made their escape. The soldiers then returned to their car and drive off. I don't know what exactly happened, but I kinda faded out of existence and the dream continued more like a movie.

      Time passed and it was now nighttime. The soldiers drove back to where to they fought the gang and found them once again. In the fight, I remember them turning the ground into lava trapping some gang members in their tracks and shooting them. This time, the soldiers had won, but on of the main soldiers was shot and injured and the commander carried him to that weird machine at the apex of the curve. A blue sack enveloped the wounded soldier and the commander spotted someone at the end of the road. The person waved and walked towards him. This part was strange too because it was like a cinematic scene in a movie. The "camera" zoomed out showing them both from a 3rd person view and the commander talked about how manipulating nature would ruin it's behavior. The view then changed to a scene of a tree's that leaves were falling and a pond with ripples. He then elaborated more on his idea and the tree's leaves stopped falling and the pond became still and the camera then fell back onto him. The person nodded and left.

      Everything kinda gets foggy after that, but I do remember seeing a girl floating with her arms thrust downward inside a circular object that emitted a soft blue light on her. I said to myself that I should remember drawing the knees to better my drawing skills or something like that.

      Well, overall I am glad that i am remembering more and more of my dreams, so it does show that I am progressing in both length and detail!

    13. Homeless Camping - Playing it Cool with the Ladies

      by , 03-22-2011 at 04:04 AM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      I was somehow homeless behind my father's old house. I am sad it isn't in the family anymore, but my dad has passed in waking life and we had to sell the house. So, I'm building a fire to stay warm. Last night I really did build a fire in our back yard.

      I noticed the fire was almost out. I was about to blow on it when the new owners of the house started looking out of the house and then walking towards me.

      I ducked down so they couldn't see me, but they kept coming. I started to growl like a dog or some kind of monster to get them to turn away, but it wasn't working.

      Then all of a sudden I was in the house looking out the window the way they must have been looking at me. I saw the fire and realized why I got their attention.

      --

      There were two ladies. They were both really cute. One of them said to some guy, "You're not getting under this bra."

      I realized I should just play it cool. I acted like I wasn't attracted to either of them and tried to look them in their eyes. Tried.

      --

      I was in some kind of race inside of a gymnasium. It was like a marathon, but we had to run the distance in a small gym. People were cutting the corners because the room was small and it would be ridiculous to run in an actual square.

      I wanted to run the full distance (and not cheat), so I tried to take the corners by running on the wall. Others took advantage by running past me on the inside. I thought that was kind of unfair.

      It was very cramped. The room was only as big as a large garage. I ended up leaving the race, though I intended to rejoin it.

      Outside I saw a big boned black lady name Yolanda. I don't know how I got to this point, but I grabbed her by the waste and pulled her into me twice. Then I decided to pull her in and thrust my pelvis into her rear. She was really soft.

      She didn't seem to mind, but then she started acting as though I shouldn't have. I worked hard to get her attention and finally did. I mouthed the words, "Don't get me in trouble." She says, "OK."

    14. Why Not Lucid? (BILD)

      by , 03-22-2011 at 03:58 AM
      Reading through a thread on the forum, I came up with a fairly interesting question: if we can be lucid or non-lucid in a dream, why are we usually non-lucid? Why is non-lucid the natural state of dreaming and not lucidity?

      We go to sleep and hand over control to a different form of consciousness, our dream selves. These selves are much like our waking selves, except that they readily morph into imagined characters and take on our hypothetical situations like they were real (for the most part). They have fairly short attention spans and even shorter memories. From time to time, they get tired of a certain role or situation enough to become lucid, but generally they get easily fixated on just about anything and forget about the lucid option. In reality, they would be hopelessly comic, if not tragic, figures.

      Sometimes beforehand we program our minds to create dream selves that desire lucidity, and will have that as a part of their character. These selves will perhaps periodically check something in their world to determine their status, and then upon realizing their state will become lucid, handing control back over to our conscious selves. Or at some subconscious level we will simply be expecting and used to lucid dream selves, and that is what it produces for us.

      And yet, upon gaining control, we too easily lose it again, fading back into those dream characters, lost in our own creation.

      So why do we do it this way? Why do we so easily hand ourselves over to fantasy? We could be perpetual gods in our dreams, yet instead we all too regularly decide/desire to be nothing more than simple characters, at the mercy of ourselves. Is there an innate desire to be a character and to lose yourself, only for a bit? We can still act a character out in a lucid state, but it would never be as complete.

      Is there an innate need to lose yourself? Would perpetual lucidity drain us?

      Or is it that we are just too used to it? Grew up with it, before we understood lucidity, before we even were able to understand the world around us, before we were even self aware, and now it's part of our expectations, part of our understanding of reality: our dreams will always tend towards non-lucidity; it takes lots of work and effort to become lucid regularly.

      But could we, if we believed it enough, always tend towards lucidity? Is non-lucidity just a remnant of a feeble infant mind, or do we still gain something from it? Could we just ditch all the xILD methods and say, "I'm just going to always be lucid from now on"? Maybe we would need to first examine why it was we desired to be non-lucid in the first place. It should be possible. I call it the belief induced lucid dream (BILD).

      non dream - lucid - non lucid

      After the last rather special dream, I decided to WBTB and attempt a WILD the next night.
      I really wanted to see Yuya again, I kept thinking about her when I went to bed.

      ________

      The WBTB alarm goes off and I try to WILD thinking about Yuya.
      Unfortunately I fall asleep...

      ... I'm walking... just walking... aimlessly.
      There is no path, there is no ground, I'm just walking.
      I get a sudden burst of awareness and my vision sharpens.

      Clouds turn into objects and I can see that I am on Teraluna.
      I have a hard time focusing on my surroundings, I zone in and out a few times until I manage
      to stabilize the dream.

      I'm talking to Yuya. She know's im stressed in waking life, so she made me special tea that will help me relax.
      When I drink it, it "tastes relaxing".
      I talk to Yuya about my last dream, about hovering through a galaxy full of pulsating stars...

      "I want to show you something... come here..."

      She sits on the ground and makes me a sign to sit in front of her.
      As I sit down I feel very light headed, but also very relaxed, probably because of the tea.
      Yuya takes a meditative pose and I mimic it.
      I'm sitting right in front of her, facing her.
      We both close our eyes and start linking our thoughts.

      "Let go of your thoughts... let go of everything... I will guide you..."

      Her thoughts become mine and my thoughts become hers.
      Our consciousness start merging together.
      With Yuya's help, I manage to free my mind of all thoughts and let go of all the muscles in my body.
      My dream body is slowly falling into a state of perfect calm, like it is turning itself off.

      I can feel Yuya's body touching mine, but I know we're sitting apart from each other.
      Yet it feels like we are embracing each other.
      After some time I realize that it is our minds that are embracing, not our bodies.
      I feel my body completely turning off, it is slowly letting go of my "spirit" (I call it spirit, I don't know what else to call it... my mind? my consciousness? my soul?)
      As my body turns off I completely loose perception not only of my surroundings but also of my emotions...

      ... I can see again, but it feels different from seeing. I am now a small cloud of pulsating energy, and so is Yuya.
      I decide to call this form "spirit".
      Yuya is very pure and blue, there are fine crystalline strings emitting from her center.
      I am green and orange a complex, complicated, "worried" but gentle mix of colors.
      My strings move around more nervously than her's.
      Our spirits are touching, and we start moving into a direction.

      I start seeing an infinite amount of other spirits, forming a spiral galaxy of energy.
      I see many kinds of spirits. The spirit of a small bush of grass, the spirit of a tree, the spirit of a bird, and the spirits of many other beings.
      They are all beautiful in their own way.
      I understand that what I am seeing is the essence of life, it is what drives us, it is why we live...
      We keep floating along some sort of path, our spirits are linked, we decide directions as one.

      After some time our spirits detach, and I feel my dream body forming around me again.
      I open my eyes and I am sitting on a huge green leaf. I am very small, and the plant the leaf belongs to is very big, it can easily carry my weight.
      Yuya appears next to me, smiling like she always does.
      I don't ask her any questions because there are none to ask.
      What I saw is beyond my level of understanding, yet because our consciousness was merged, I caught a glimpse of it.

      I am still in an extremely relaxed state and I don't feel like talking or doing anything at all for that matter.
      We just sit on this leaf, enjoying the feeling of not thinking at all...



      Notes:
      I am not a spiritual person, but I do believe that we all have some sort of spirit or soul, depending on what you want to call it.
      It doesn't make sense to me that our consciousness consists of only a neural network.
      I'm not sure where those extremely relaxing dreams are coming from.
      Maybe I'm longing for this relaxed state because I am stressed in waking life?
