    1. Almost a horror movie!

      by , 12-08-2010 at 09:37 PM
      So what happened was I was around where my parents live and it almost looked like around sun set. I was confused on how I got there because I live so far away from them now, but I walked in and noticed a huge tree in the center of the living room. The tree had a gash on the base that probably covered about half of it. I didn't think much of it for some reason but I continued to the upstairs (which my parents house in reality does not have) and it was very dark up there. I walked around as if I knew where everything was and how to get to where lighting was but then I noticed something on a balcony. There was an old woman standing there with her mouth sewn shut and begging me to open it. So, I opened it with a pair of scissors that was conveniently located on the ground beside her. I cut off her stitches and she told me to beware of the tree in the basement. So i was starting to freak out a little at this point and then out of no where a shadowy hand reaches out of the darkness and grabbed the woman by her face and dragged her into the house. I ran after her but I could not find her. So I ran down stairs to look at the tree (for some stupid reason) but I felt like I couldn't control my body. I grabbed a sword and started cutting at the tree, making the gash that was already in it even larger. The next thing I knew I was out on the road and was terrified. I kept saying to myself that I needed to be in the light or it would get me. I still don't know what I meant by "It". Then all the street lights went out and the next thing that happened was that I was on a show, it was either the Dr. Phil show or Dr. Oz. and there were so many lights on me that I felt blinded. there was no chance a shadow was even within 10 feet of me that's how scared I was. Then ( of course) the lights went out and I started to scream. the lights came back on and I was missing an arm. The pain felt so real that I just wanted to die. I woke up after that and my arm was really hurting, it went away after about a half hour but I didn't fall back asleep that night.

    2. Getting there!

      by , 12-08-2010 at 09:04 PM
      After almost a whole night's sleep, I woke up from quite a long dream that I recalled almost every moment of. So I quickly grabbed my dream journal as I know I would begin to quickly forget.

      After about 10 mins of writing I thought I might as well try to sleep some more even though I felt wide awake, all the more likely to be lucid right?

      And what happened!? I attained lucidity for the first intentional time. Now I'm not overly excited as it was a very low awareness level, but I did 3 reality checks, holding my breath, finger through hand, and flicking light switches, the light switches being the only one to confirm I was sleeping.

      Now I know my awareness level was very low because I was unable to have any dream control, and was still fearful of the man banging at my home's front door, and on top of all that, had the first false awakening I can recall, obviously meaning I lost all lucidity.

      But I'm still excited!!! All downhill from here right?

      My lazy ass took too long to wake up and reach for my dream journal that I decided I couldn't even remember enough to try and write out the dream's story line, but I did mark the date of my first intentional fleeting lucid dream.

      Thanks for your help DV!!
    3. Time Travel and VR games

      by , 12-08-2010 at 08:38 PM
      These dreams are from yesterday, Monday Dec 8.

      Time Traveler
      Clarity: 6/10
      Sleep: Good
      Sleep Position: Unknown
      I time travel back to the 80's, and want to go to a bar, but realize my ID won't be any good. But I figure I probably won't get carded anyways. In order to get downtown, I have to cross a bridge on a street that gets shut down at night due to two warring street gangs.

      I pass a bar full of crackhead on the patio, then enter into the dark zone. As I approach the bridge, two gang members on a motor bike speed up to me and tie strings around my thighs. They are painfully tight and cut off my circulation. I untie them and cross to the other side where I'm accosted by the other gang.

      My legs still hurt, and I look down to find more strings tied around my thighs. But as I take them off, they are actually belts that look to be made out of rat skin, with the fur all tattered and falling off. The other gang says they do that.

      There is a sub plot about a girl and a guy who are a couple, but they are from different times. They guy went back in time and the girl is too young. But even in their right times, the age difference is too much for them to be together. No matter how I try to reason it out, it just doesn't make sense. Time travel can be confusing sometimes.

      -I see an old guy going down the street on a dilapidated old tractor/lawn mower with wobbly wheels, that was a time machine. I had a time travel adventure with that guy. He says it's the anniversary of our time travel trip, and he's retracing our journey in a sort of pilgrimage.

      He mentions they did a documentary on our trip, and I ask if the scientific community has come to accept time travel as real. He says there is still lots of debate, but the movie was very popular. I'm thrilled to be a part of history. We talk about our time travel journey, and who was with us, which included Andrew and Albert. Also the paradox girl from the first part of the dream, who is walking with us.

      We walk to Canada's Wonderland, go to a bar, and the time travel girl buys me a beer since I can't find my wallet. We go into a cake store where I find out all the cake is free, and I pig out, trying all sorts of fancy cakes.



      VR Journey
      Clarity: 5/10
      Sleep: Good
      Sleep Position: Unknown
      I'm taking a cross country trip with some friends, but along the way we are shooting virtual reality baddies with toy guns. We take the chips from our original guns, and put them in better toy guns for improved fire power.

      After my trip, my brother is making a similar trip, to compete in the same tournament I had previously won. He asks me for tips, and I try to fix his guns so they are as strong as the blasters we had. He has a gatling gun that isn't working right, and I tweak it so it shoots large explosions super fast. But it just didn't have the same power as when I did it before, and I can't figure out why.

      We make it to the final level, a large laser tag arena. Only problem is the opposing team has real guns. I try to convince my brother's team to leave, but they don't want to give up. Our only option now is to win the game before the other team. They figure since I've been here before and know the way, I can lead them to victory. So I launch down a hall that looks familiar, but we get lost. Nothing looks familiar like the last time, and I have to conclude that they've changed the maze since I was here last.

    7. It's a wrap

      by , 12-08-2010 at 08:21 PM (Tales from the sun chaser.)

      I was shooting a short commercial with Cheri Oteri and I add libbed a bit of what it should have been like. It involed me approaching her and trying to talk with her. The catch was I was supposed to have an awkward moment and completely turn it around like those candy bar commercials. After the first take, we took a break and I shook her hand and told her that I was a big fan of her work. I guess she thought that I didn't recognize her or something, because when I finally told her, her eyes lit up and she became so happy that she started crying. We took a break over at some chairs, and this lady started going over the entire scene that was updated with the bit I had thrown in.

    8. Little Lion Man

      by , 12-08-2010 at 08:16 PM
      Fragments: Bus Song
      I'm on the bus with my grandparents. Some stringed instrument starts playing, and I can't pinpoint where it's coming from. Ambrose begins to play a home made water pipe flute thing, and my grandmother begins to sing in a high falsetto. It's an amazing song.

      As we get off the bus, I notice a jar of pickled eggs underneath my seat.


      I was trying to remember the guitar part when I woke because it was such a good song, then it came to me. The song was basically "Little Lion Man". The guitar was a little different, the pipes too, and the singing was way different, but it was basically the same song.




      Professor Bitchface
      Clarity: 3/10
      Sleep: Poor
      Sleep Position: Unknown
      I'm in a University class that is just ending, and the professor is a total strict bitch. She mentions that she's been divorced 4 times, and three of those were because she saw her husband's published writing, meaning she was very strict and picky when it comes to the papers we hand in.

      She gives out a homework assignment, which she writes on the board, and I figure I had better write it down. But she erases it before I get a chance to. The chalk boards are full of notes that she erases before anyone can copy them. What a bitch.

      We leave class and discuss that teacher in the hall. Everyone is worried about handing in our papers, except for me, being confident in my writing skills.

      -We're all in a virtual reality program, and students are manipulating the game's reality for physics projects. They all log out and disappear, except for two professors who are plotting evil deeds.

    9. Dec 8th A Better One...

      by , 12-08-2010 at 07:48 PM
      Non lucid, but I did become momentarily aware at one point.

      The first part I remember is being at some conference. I was trying to use a rifle embedded in my laptop to snipe one of the members of the conference sitting across from me. He saw the attempt and raised a blast shield. Everyone fled and my attempt was foiled. I had no idea why I wanted to shoot him, but it might have been from an earlier unremembered portion of the dream. Later on, I was speaking with a female DC in a store. It was late at night so everyone migrated to upstairs to sleep which resembled a Japanese villa. It was pretty high up and had a good view of the surrounding forested area. I actually sat down with the DC i was talking to earlier and played a round of coop starcraft with her. We both played as Zerg, but she had no idea what she was doing. Eventually we both quit and she got into her bed for the night. Feeling a little bold I slipped in with her (wasn't aware or lucid). We adjusted positions a few times and she ended up with her head on my chest and arm around me. I just lied there for awhile savoring the feeling aware that my heart rate was increasing and my breath was getting heavier. She stated this and I noticed hers was too. We started to uhh.. get busy when it suddenly occurred to me that I might be dreaming. Now here's the funny part, I consciously made a decision not to go lucid and to just roll with the dream because it was getting pretty awesome. But about a minute later, I had a false awakening. The room I was in was the same, but it was empty with just me in the bed. A thought crossed my mind to do an RC but I felt too tired to move and... didn't. The dream continued as I got up looking around for the DC girl from earlier. I never found her though I saw a few other DC's in the house. Eventually, I woke up.

      Totally kicking myself for the missed opportunity to go lucid after the false awakening! Still, much better dream over my last night's

    10. WEIRD dreams!

      by , 12-08-2010 at 07:38 PM (MoSh's DJ: The Best Dream Journal in The Universe.)
      AMG! THE DREAM FLU SHOT MADE ME DREAM SICK!!!!

      This was a very shifty dream. At first I was with my brother in a car, we were driving to his town bowden. We stop at some guy's house we know. The man who gets out is a guy I recognize from town, he plays guitar and works at Home Hardware, where we get our job materials.

      We decide to give him a ride somewhere. I'm in the backseat, and the guy is another seat behind me... It's like we are in a family sized mini van. He asks me for a smoke and I pull out two, one for him and myself. We have a discussion about the brands of smoke... we both seem to be confused about which brand we have.

      By now we are heading into a large city. for a while I am switched to third person view and watching the van pull from a highway onto another highway which runs through the city. I remember reading a statistic in the paper about this city that whenever you drive through it, there's a 60% chance of getting into a fatal crash. I decide to put on my seatbelt. We stop at a corner that looks a lot like this one street corner in the San Andreas game where you do your first race in the High Stakes low rider mission.... but there's construction going on around it.



      I am trying to put on my seatbelt but it was all weird. There was a weird device to secure my legs and torso in. I spent a few minutes securing my legs and torso. Once I was finished I was now in a doctors office with Asuka and some other people. an Asian nurse came to the weird device I was sitting and she said, "You need treatment right away let me take you..." while she was unfastening my device.

      I said, "but we all came here for our flu shot." For a bit I am wondering why I am getting a flu shot.

      Then the dream speeds up and I'm running somewhere near a high up cliff or something. I can here a song I wrote in dreams... but all the guitars init aren't very clean. I am kind of ignoring it. After the cliff I wind up in some wood with Raven. There's a large rock right in the middle of the woods and we are climbing it. We are talking about something but I forget. Then some little ape guy that looks like donkey kong jumps from the top of the rock. I think he's evil so I grab him or something. I take him to a tree and smash his body against it.

      The ape guy isn't even inured so I smash him on the ground a couple of times. Doesn't hurt him. I stomp on him and he doesn't even wince. I give up by throwing him up in the air as high As I could and letting him fall down while I walk towards the rock again. I soon climb the rock again but the ape guy pulls me down... now he's a short haired Asian guy... Basara? He holds me down a bit. Raven is protesting and asking why I would attack him. The asian guy says not to worry, It's just that I have a dream flu and I need some rest. He starts walking me to a couch in the middle of the woods. I do feel disoriented and start screaming incoherently and then wake up.

      Lucid 1

      I''m in some weird building and flying up... I see some guy I know Darcy standing on a railing ledge. I hear someone say that the's the security guard there. I become lucid just randomly. Darcy changes into a small flying computer device and flies into my hand.... I am looking at all his weird gadgets and stuff but the dream fades.

      Lucid 2

      I become lucid on some street walking at night time. I forget much of my goals and just walk... The street is a lot like the one i used to walk to in chilliwack to where my friend mike lived. I am walking and counting my steps for some reason... maybe trying to dilate time... but I forget. I walk to the house where Mike used to live... it looks different of course. All the houses are different but the layout of the streets are the same. I walk into the house and it is pitch black which almost wakes me up. I pull out a wand and try a spell which turns on the lights. I say, "Illuminous..." but I get startled by the sound of my voice... I forget the last word. I feel the dream fading out and I put my hand on the ground to stabalize the dream. It does and I get up... I start walking through the house again when I wake up.

    11. Plans

      by , 12-08-2010 at 07:32 PM (Raspberry's Second Life)
      It was so cold my fire alarm went off during the night. It was short beeps and I was half asleep (4am) and I was RCing like crazy thinking i'd had a FA.

      Awake Non-Lucid

      I'm walking down the high street with my mum. She's in a hurry for some reason, trying to find where she parked the car. I stroll along behind her, and notice that the nearby church stained glass windows are really pretty and colourful. A group of boys I know walk past. As they do, they say something. I hurry on, not in the mood to pick a fight.


      Plans

      I'm going to my mums flat when I notice an older lady walking into it. I narrow my eyes and decide to see what she's up to. As soon as I get inside, a tall woman with long dark hair, probably early twenties, walks in and tells me that she's keeping an eye on the situation. I don't know what it is, but I trust her. Then she goes and takes a shower. I stare at the door, listening to the water turning on, and wonder why she's chosen this exact moment to shower.

      Somehow I'm looking through the older womans eyes. She knows there's someone in the shower and she needs to hurry up. She grabs a brown bowl and goes over to the window. It's very important to the mission to break this brown bowl. She's a spy. She drops the bowl out of the window and watches it shatter to pieces, then hurries off.

      I'm myself again, and I panicing quite a bit. The phone rings from the side, and I go and answer it. It's my mum, I tell her what happened and she sternly tells me to stay where I am because she's coming up. I try to hangup, but as I push the button, it caves in. All I can hear is white noise coming from the phone. "Shit..." I mutter as I try to switch it off.


      Then I woke up because of the alarm.

      Not quite sure what my other dream is. In my notes it says "swim skirt condom twins reconstruct water". It sounds like I had a threesome, I know, but I didn't I just can't remember what "skirt" and "condom" is. I'll type up what I remember. From now on I'll make sure my notes are clearer.

      I'm in a white, humid room, which I remember is in the place of the music room. There's dry land all around, and me and a group of people I can't quite see are looking around. For some reason we feel disappointment and regret. I decide to reconstruct the room. Holding out my hands, I lift them up and dirt comes up with them. I make scraping motions and make ledges and steps. Then I fill the room with water. The next part is blank. I have the feeling I was called out and shouted at a few people then went back through.

      I've just came back into my water room, when two blonde twins grab me and drag me under water. I hit the bottom and struggle to get up but they pin me down. "Find the money" one of them says through the water, "and we'll let you go." Where could it be? As if responding to the thought, I swim round to the back of one of the twins and pull his shirt up. There! I grap a note and hold it out, then swim desperatley to the surface. I grab hold of a ledge and pull myself onto it. I sit calmly and watch people enjoy my water room, but the regret is still there.

      The memory is on the edge of my mind but I just can't remember. If I do I'll edit

    12. Twisters and Murderers.

      by , 12-08-2010 at 05:59 PM
      Here's what I do remember from last night's imaginary ventures:

      1. There were twisters... In a house. Apparently they were lethal enough to kill since everybody hid from them. Surprisingly it reminds me of one of the earliest memories I have. I saw little twisters flying all over my room and one of them had glasses and big bulging eyes. He spoke like the guy from unsolved mysteries and it made me scream (I believe this was from around age 2 or earlier, considering I was in a crib).

      2. Some of the people from my public speaking class were there, though I can't quite remember what they were doing.

      3. I met this mean woman. I believe she was my friend at first, but she ended up killing somebody and basically taking me as a secret hostage in her SUV. I remember this woman was distinctly African American, which is probably the first I imagined up. Either way, the police pulled us over and I discreetly managed to tell the elderly cop (also made up) that she had killed somebody and would probably kill me. He managed to arrest her and I was able to drive the vehicle... Somewhere. I guess it was home in my dream.

      4. And then I remember pink stuffed animals. No idea what significance they held or why they were there...

      And that's it. Last time I had a hard time remembering the last part of my dream, and this time I can't recall how it started out. But at least I'm remembering them.

    13. Dream Journal: Dungeon, Essay, Graduation, Gym

      by , 12-08-2010 at 05:58 PM
      Dream 1-- High School Dungeon

      Here is another dream where I am forced to complete tasks, or levels, without actually knowing the tasks beforehand or how I got to where I am. In this scenario, I am in a dungeon, obviously below ground. In hindsight, it's almost like I am in a video game where I am really small in comparison to the structures and other charcters in the "game." At first, it's just me. I am travelling through this dungeon by jumping really far from platform to platform. Everything is tinted very dark and its all black or dark brown.

      Then I come to this one level where I am travelling along side the wall of the dungeon. I hit the platform on the corner and turn to face the other direction. Below me and in front of me I see these giant wooden brown pillars with black disks around the pillars at certain heights. Judging by the heights, I need to utilize these disks to get from pillar to pillar across the dungeon. Below the disks, there are these Satyrs (this is the word that first pops in to my head during the dream to describe them) that are patrolling on the ground. They are huge. Some are red, some are grey, but they all have these fandoras on. They have swords in sheaths and fancy clothes, but they are walking back and fort in a mindless fashion because its a video game or something. As I jump from one disk to the next, I find myself needing to pull myself up because I can't make the jumps. Pulling myself up requires no effort, however, as I am probably in some from of PassObs at this point competing as if it were just a video game and I am a character.

      After jumping from disk to disk, I land on the fifth disk and face the satyrs and what appears to be a giant gap between where I am and the column across the way. In my head, I start hearing cheering and people speaking. Somehow there is my mom talking, and I look around to see other people from my high school also playing in the level, specifically B. Mont and J. Stet and E. Sor. Now I must've reached a checkpoint or something in the level because I try to make this gap several times in various ways, but I keep ending up back at this point in my dream in this level.

      The first attempt, I time it so that as the satyr is walking away toward the pillar I need to get to, I jump and try to land on him. I am floating somewhat in mid-air as I try to predict where he will be and where I need to go. I try to grab onto his grey hat, but I can't hold on and I start over. The next attempt, I do the same timing, but this time I manage to land on his hat. There doesn't feel to be any gravity or sensations or emotions. I can see my classmates on the other side of the pillar all sitting in benches just applauding. As I am trying to catch my balance on the hat, I hold on to the rim and wait until the satyr gets close enough to the pillar. Then I jump, and in mid-air I really focus on the applause and who I am looking at. I see 4-5 faces out of the crowd, who are all from my high school (Blatant dream sign!). I don't think I completed the jump because I woke up.

      Dream 2-- Essay on Consciousness

      This dream is rather fuzzy, but the premise is basically that I was going back and forth between having conversations with people and writing this essay about consciousness, its nature, and its difference between how I see it now and the truth.

      Each paragraph represents a new argument and even though I can't recall who I was talking to specifically I can remember some of the basic theories I wrote in my paper. Whenever I would write in my paper, it would be a PassObs event. I would teleport and my field of vision would be focused in on this stack of paper with text on it. I could read the text, and there was grammar, punctuation, indentations, proper margins, and everything. It was as if I was writing a Writ 140 paper on this topic within my dream and presenting it to myself so that I could learn or teach myself.

      Some of the premises were:
      1) Consciousness is nothing that I imagine it to be, but the world it presents is total and complete like this one.
      2) Consciousness is eternal, eternally.
      3) There is another side to consciousness that I can't reach, but I can experience.

      Dream 3-- Graduation 2.0

      In this dream, me and everybody from my high school grade appears to be graduating again. We are out behind the football field in a cluster, and we are all in our uniforms. I don't remember saying anything during this dream or really knowing what was going on at all, but this was a particularly interesting dream because of this lack of control.

      As we all stand in a group outside, there are pictures taken, and someone shouts "we're done!" Suddenly my "camera" zooms out to show a complete picture of all the blue shirts and grey shorts (the uniform). Then I hear some voices in what I feel like is my personal ear, and the camera immediately shifts to what I would consider a first person point of view. Apparently, we are now trying to escape this place, as if it were another level another competition, by evading all of the people who are trying to tag us and running to the other side of this field. I am kind of alone it seems like, but there are three or four other students who are distracting many of the taggers. I stand back at first trying to figure out what is going on and trying to devise a strategy. I honestly am surprised in hindsight that I immediately knew the objective of this dream and was formulating a plan to complete the Level.

      I decide to start running forward, and I see three or four taggers focus in on me and start to converge. There is one girl in particular who seems to be focusing on me anyway, and the other three are these dark shadowy figures that I can't recall as being people or actual shadowy figures. There are these two volleyball nets aligned parallel to eachother in a line perpendicular to me so I see them as l l instead of = and I decide that this would be my best form of escape. I run and go underneath the first, but everyone seems to be closing in on me. As I cross under the second, I open and close a book I suddenly have in my hands and immediately become invisible. I know that what I just did will make me invisible, and I believe that is why is happened. I walk around with my new invisibility and easily make it to the other side.

      Suddenly, I am now walking as if I were on the opposite side of the football field and there are many students who are not in my grade lined up on bleachers in order to take a picture. I start walking by and then I look up to see J. Mc who is looking at me, and then I turn to face the kids in the bleachers. I see that there are seniors interspersed with the underclassmen, and I wonder how they got in there and why I am not in there. They are all standing tall and smiling, while I just observe. After the picture is taken, they all yell an "ay" and then walk away. I see J. Mitch and start to walk up to him with a smile saying "we did it man, nice." As I am walking up to him, he turns into another classmate, but then when we slap hands he turns back into J. Mitch. Then I wake up

      Dream 4-- Gym

      This dream was pretty vivid and pretty long, it has a repetitive factor in it like my first one.

      So I am in this weight room with some other people. Looking straight ahead, I see some crazy looking jet black machine with pulleys and a long inclined bench and handles. The matt it is on is also black and there is a TV behind it playing but no sound it coming from it. I am standing there watching as these two guys talk right next to the machine. Eventually, I look around and decide to go somewhere else. As I look around, I realize I am in an entirely different place but it is still a gym. I am walking around this carpetted area and it's a very nice looking facility. There are leather brown cushy chairs to my left facing a brown table. The carpet is grey and black. There are windows in the marble walls that reveal a bright blue, almost cloudless sky and bright sun.

      I continue walking forward and I see Tom and his friend sitting down together with white towels around their waists but no shirts on. They appear to have just taken a shower based on their hair, but they don't talk to me as I walk by. As I pass, I have this thought like "they would be sitting down together" or something along those lines. I continue to pass and I sit down in this chair across from S. Lim who is writing something on a name tag looking thing. He has colored in a lot of it with marker and is now completing the final touches. He keeps repeating "blue bird" and is coloring in something I can't remember.

      Suddenly, I transport back into the initial room and I am walking toward the jet black machine. I guess I am about to go on it. I introduce myself to the two guys. One guy says his name is Lance Armstrong, and I think about that name in my head as being totally fake but super manly. It's like a name you would create for yourself to make a good impression or something. My name is equally fake but more manly, sadly I can't remember what I made it.

      I get on the inclined bench and start doing this ab exercise that requires me to totally stretch my abs out by pushing out my legs and leaning all the way back with my head. The initial position on the exercise is laying on the bench horizontally in mid-air. the middle of the bench separates the two parts, with my legs going out and forward, and my upper body coming down and backward. It stretches out my abs really well and then I have to come back up using only my abs. I feel the burn in this dream. I hear the spotters giving me some commands like "pull up with your chest" and "bring your knees to your chest and HOOOLLLDDDD." I think about doing thirty but stop after maybe 7 or 8. I don't remember stepping off, but I am immediately standing up next to it. I look out and see a cute girl using a machine that I wanted to use. This room has glossy wooden floors and white machines with black weights/cushions. This girl is doing an exercise for your lower back where your body is like this / with your legs on cushions. Then you bend down with your head and back in line and then come back again.

      I really want to do that exercise, so I leave the room, and head to a hallway. I come to another work out room that looks like the one I used in a DoubleTreeHotel three weeks ago. As I look around, I see a sliding door with a note on it saying "mixed work out room, boys and girls allowed." And I immediately go in. I see the same carpetted, brown cushy chair infested work out room as before. I see the machine I want and I start walking toward it. I see Tom and his friend sitting in the chairs looking over at me and somehow that gives me the motivation to jog, but I'm not moving very fast. As I jog past them, I find myself suddenly in a chair laying down facing S. Silver and he has a red pen. He is marking up the front cover of this magazine so that it spells "KN" which is the symbol for some frat he calls "Sigma Nu" but that isn't how to do their symbol. I notice that I have a pen in my hands, but the tip is still inside because I haven't clicked it open yet. I am just holding it out in front of me over the magazine without doing anything. He starts laughing at his own creation and this blonde girl, who appears to be the owner of the store right next to us comes out and looks at us.

      She says "you guys think you are so funny marking up this magazine, huh? Are you the same people who made this name tag?" And I immediately recognize it as the thing that S. Lim was marking up the other time I came into this room. It's corner were bent, and there are three birds flying out of a black hole in the middle of the tag. She says something about how that tag had the lyrics to a poem on there that described the horrors of living in a place less fortunate then this.

      As she is describing the scene, I turn PassObs and become the camera for this video, seeing what she is describing. She talks about how kids need food and they have to carry guns and hide first thing in the morning in order to avoid being gang raped. The scene I see is these four blacks kids who appear happy enough running out of a brick house toward the camera. They are in a line without a particular order it seems like. They run past a white fence and the fence gets destroyed without them touching it. It flies up into the sky behind them in pieces.

      They continue to run, but the camera stops. The camera follows them as they pass by though, and I see them running away and turning a corner. The woman is still talking but I'm not paying attention.

      My alarm clock wakes me up.

      In which I lose an expensive gun...

      I'm in a field of tall wheat. It's an expanse of several acres, but out in the middle of the field are some low walls of stacked stone that mark property borders. I'm carrying a rifle and a heavy chrome semi-automatic with a scope. As I walk across the field, the rifle goes off accidentally and scares me. I jump in the air, and then sit down on the stone wall, thankful that the bullet didn't hit me. I examine the rifle and see that it is not loaded and that the safety is on, so I keep going. The rifle fires again, and this time I think that it must be possessed so I toss it away from me. It lands beside one of the stone walls. I keep walking until the grass is low and I'm standing on a hill looking down into a valley. I crawl on my hands and knees and peer over the hill at the deer below. I aim to shoot one, but at the last minute I change my mind. The deer are too pretty and I can't kill them.

      I walk back to my father's cabin. When I get there he asks for his gun. I realize I've left it behind. I walk back through the field to the stone wall and pick up the rifle gingerly. It has a feature like a revolver in which it can be taken apart, so I dismantle the rifle so that it won't shoot at me again. I carry the pieces back to my father but he just tosses them in the dirt. He's angry. "This is your brother's cheap rifle!" he says. "Where is my semi?" Apparently the gun with the scope is worth several thousand dollars. I realize that I left it on the mound. I walk back across the field again and come to several mounds but I can't distinguish one from the other and I don't know which is the one where I left the gun. I look all over for it, but I can't find it. I feel like a loser.

    15. Seeing through the eyes

      PART LUCID LUCID NIGHTMARE FALSE AWAKENING
      NOTE: Please read to the end, it gets alot more exciting when the nightmares come. If you have a short attention span just skip to the big red nighmare at the bottom.
      This is my third lucid since joining dream views. I wasnt the most lucid Ive had but it was by far the most vivid.
      I started off walking through a quiet part of a small town with a very warm climate. The whole dream had a pleasant, warm orange tone.Suddenly I realised I was dreaming. As the thought echoed through my mind a huge wave of vividity swept through intensifying everything around me. I didnt need to do a reality because I was sure it was a dream. All of my muscles and senses felt like I was really using them. Most importantly I felt like I was seeing through my eyes and not just my head. It was extremely vivid.I walked around in the town I created and in my excitement pulled a big smile at a nearby dream character. She was young and wearing a red jumper. She looked slightly confused but just smiled back at me.
      I began to explain lucidity to her when suddenly some friends of mine appeared out of no-where. Sadly I hadnt thought about lucid goals for a while in waking life, so I just began to impress my friends with some lucid flying. They were slightly impressed but not as much as they would be in real life.
      We then began to walk very quickly and ended up in a huge shopping center (mall). There were hundreds of people all moving around briskly so we carried on through the crowds and then we were in a school. (I had two more dreams about this school later on, but they are incredibly boring so I am not going to write them down)
      I was about to think about my lucid goals when
      a teacher asked me to help him carry some tables. I lost lucidity slightly and gladly agreed to help him. I set the table down in the classroom he had specified and regained full lucidity! "Hmmm now, what was it I wanted to do? Ah yes, I wanted to get to the lucid crossroads" I thought. So I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was in a very dark nightmarish room just like the one I was in previously. It scared me so I closed my eyes again and opened them in my room.
      I was convinced this was realitly. Just to be sure I did the nose plug reality check about eight times and it worked EVERY SINGLE TIME. I still didnt realise it was a dream. What a numskull. So I grabbed my dream journal and decided to write down my lucid. I began when for some reason my journal turned into a ping pong ball. "It's normal to write down dreams on ping pong balls" I thought. I repeatedly felt like I was asleep with my eyes open, which should have told me this was a false awakening but it didnt.

      Next came some very odd visions. I wouldnt call them dreams because they had nothing to do with me. Be prepared, this may give you nightmares. I saw images of fat people waking up into the most horrible sleep paralysises I had ever seen. They were shaking violently and frothing at the mouth. They then appeared to become possessed. They let out horrible noises and their eyes went completely white before growing huge. They were experiencing a lot of pain and were shaking very much.

      I then woke up for real.What was this? Was something trying to tell me something like you really do get possessed when experiencing SP? Also, I read that you can only dream about yourself. These people had nothing to do with me. Damn! I cant have a lucid without weird false awakenings!
