    1. Nov 7 2010 - AN and Horses

      by , 11-07-2010 at 04:57 PM (Mah Journal)
      My first dream was lucid, but I don't remember what happened. It faded right when I got lucid, but I DEILDed into a new one.

      I was sort of detached from the dream, more like watching a screen than being in it. I tried to visualize stuff so that I would be more immersed in it. I wanted to try to share dreams with AN and make him lucid. I started yelling his name and yelling to get lucid. I then tried to visualize myself going through a door and expecting to find his dreams in there, but it wasn't really working. I wasn't really in the dream, more just like visualizing it and pretending I was there. At one point I was in the dream I think, but I was losing control and starting to do other things.

      ---

      I was at the ranch again. I was in the corral with ME, KR, some of KR's apparent friends, KI, DE, and some other random staff. They were closing up for the day or something. KI had just come to ride WO. I said hi to her in a shy manner, and she ignored me. Usually she talks to me, I thought. She was the type of person that would ask me why I hadn't been there since the winter last year. But she remained silent.

      KR then gave me a piggyback ride and we ran around the muddy corral like that. She was wearing her faded blue skinny jeans and her converse sneakers and glasses. Eventually I hopped off.

      I spent some time running around the pens for one reason or another, trying to avoid something. I think KA was there at one point too. Eventually I returned to the corral.

      In the corral there was this white horse that was saddled up. I knew somehow that it wasn't meant to be ridden at all, but the corral was empty, so I took it quietly through the barn to the entrance. I then mounted and urged it into a gentle lope. It didn't want to lope much, and wouldn't go faster when I squeezed it. It was peaceful and enjoyable still. I only rode up the driveway. I saw a bunch of stores when I looked past it. I decided it wasn't a good idea to go further, and rode the horse back to the barn. I dismounted and took it through the barn again. I was scared that there was someone on the other side. When I got there I think ME and DE were there; I tried to go and pretended not to take notice of them. They didn't say anything, and I was quite grateful for that. The dream then ended.

    2. Soul Eater - Adnai Becomes A Weapon?

      by , 11-07-2010 at 04:12 PM
      This one started out with me being Maka's Weapon, Soul. We were fighting against an enemy, but we weren't really winning. In the end, though, we managed to prevail by learning a new attack. Except we'd lost the agreement we had with the person who had contracted us, so instead we were sucked into his body. Maka and I were seperated and punished for "failing" this mission, and I was told I needed to learn how to be human.

      Namely by going to school with my sister.

      It really was amazing. There were so many people, and since I looked human on the outside, nobody knew what I really was. Happily I walked with my sister and talked about all sorts of things. Like who the teachers were, what they were like, how many people were her friends, etc, etc. My sister warned me and said not everybody at her school was nice, and to be careful.

      At that point in time, somebody tried to pickpocket me. Angry, and getting even angrier that they insulted my sister and me, I reached out my hand and offered it to my sister.

      "Give me your hand, sis."

      She did, and in a burst of white light, I was in Weapon form, and my sister spun me around threateningly. She didn't have as much skill as Maka did, but it was passable.

      We attacked three times. Swinging the scythe down and leaving a deep grooves into the pavement. The person squeaked out in horror and jumped backwards, thinking I'd cleave him in two. I wasn't going to, I just wanted to scare him and send a message that I was not to be trifled with. At the third strike, a teacher emerged and a bell rang.

      "Alright, break it up. You, out of Weapon form. Go to class." He snapped. My sister set me on the ground, and with a sigh - and another flash of light, my body rose from the scythe and it disappeared. My sister looked at me.

      "Happy first day." She said.

      I grunted.

    3. so many dreams... so little time

      by , 11-07-2010 at 03:27 PM
      i had probably 6 or seven short little dreams this morning. i also had full body numbness trying to stay conscious while going back to sleep. so i was close!

      One of the dreams i had was that my step-father, who pretty much hates me, had bought me an ipad because he had felt bad for yelling at me the night before. (which he had in real life). the ipad was bigger than they are in real life and it was kind of floppy. i remember i found it in my house then being extremely happy when i found out it was mine. i remember enjoying all the multi touch features and just messing around with it really. i took it out back on my deck and sat in the porch swing and played with it. then i took it upstairs and set it next to my laptop on a tv tray (thats not there in real life, but we do own them). i was just like wow i'm a fortunate guy, with an ipad a laptop and 4 guitars.Then i woke up and was kind of pissed! cause it meant my step-dad was still mad at me and i didnt have an ipad haha. im still pretty fortunate though. weird to learn something from a dream.

      I had a short dream after that one that was me being mad that the dream was just a dream and not real life. but then my computer had been upgraded and i could touch the computer screen just like an ipad. my mom and i were playing around with the laptop on one of those tv trays, in the kitchen this time (weird that these things keep poppin up because i havent so much as looked at those things in a few years). i went up and sat in bed with my laptop. i was gonna watch a movie on my computer (taken). while playing a N64 game on an emulator. then i figured my computer would slow down with a movie running so i stopped the movie. then i couldnt play the game so i popped the disk out and it said there was another movie in there (it was a christian bale movie but i cant remember which now). kind of a pointless dream but im glad i could remember some details like that.

      Another dream i had was a short one in the morning. i remember it had a set of marching band tenor drums laying on their side on the stage of the auditorium, facing the rest of the seats in the auditorium. some friendly black guy had a cap gun that shot actual stinging caps out of it. there were several people there and the point was to touch one of the drums without being shot. actually i think he said the point was to be the last one to touch one of the drums, but i thought that was dumb and charged them anyway. This guy shot you no matter what though. I was fired up several times. i used some strategy and thought about what i was doing, which is weird for a dream (so semi lucid? i cant remember, im still working on my dream recall), i would pick up these blue chairs and hide behind them. we dont have those blue chairs in my high school though, only in the church i renovated a while ago. Even though he would pop the top of my head every time. it also appeared that i had an inventory of some kind? in the top right hand corner of my vision, but only when i was completely fired up and had to get off the stage (it was green and blinky with white letters, i cant remember what its from now but i feel like its familiar). which i still had to run because he continued shooting me. i remember one instance pretty vividly where i dropped the chair i was holding, started to run away, got messed up with a cap gun, then watched my inventory drop to zero. as i reached the right side of the stage.

    4. First night after 20 years of no lucid dreams

      by , 11-07-2010 at 03:15 PM
      I used to Lucid Dream when I was a child. It felt like I was living a different life. Things were so surreal but they made sense in that strange dream-logic kind of way. I stopped having Lucid Dreams after I was about seven. I started getting loaded up on sedatives and other tranquilizers that either suspended brain function or just turned me into a dreamless sleeper. I stopped taking them about 5 years ago and still hadn't had any really memorable dreams.

      Last night, I attempted to induce a Lucid Dream using the WILD method, like I had when I was young. I told myself I would dream of my friends and I would recognize that I was dreaming. I had several very short non-lucid dreams where the instant I knew I was dreaming, I woke up. I tried about three times.

      I started to count backwards from 100:
      100, will dream of my friends tonight.
      99, I will dream of my friends tonight.
      ...
      I reached 81 before I entered my first dream

      The first dream, I was in a world with little more than unintelligible block shapes for other entities and I knew this was a dream almost the moment I entered. I immediately woke and continued to count from where I had left off.

      80, I will dream of my friends tonight.
      79, I will dream of my friends tonight.
      ...
      I reached 76 before I entered another dream.

      The second dream, I was with a group of people I did not know. We all had masks on and we were hiding? robbing? I'm not sure. I knew my pulse and breathing were elevated. I felt tension and anxiety. I wanted to look down at my hand but couldn't. It felt like my eyes were on rails. I couldn't control where I was looking or what I was doing.
      I forced myself to look down at my hand. After a few moments of straining, I saw just black filber, like a sock, where my hand should have been. No fingers, not even a hint of digits under the cloth. I knew I was dreaming and was forced out of my dream.

      I remained in bed for a while, unmoving, concentrating on the faces of my friends.
      I counted backwards from where I left off.
      75, I will dream of my friends.
      74, I will dream of my friends.
      ...
      I lost count a few times around 71 and started over from 75. I eventually slipped into a dream around 63.

      I was standing in a very nice Hotel Lobby. A dark and rich wood siding covered the walls and all the counters. There was a soft yellow lighting behind the checkout counter. Track lighting with amber cones and yellow bulbs hung over the desk. A brass chandelier hung over the lobby, directly over a few leather couches, a rosewood or mahogany coffee table and a few expensive looking chairs.
      The Man behind the counter was young, bald, and had a goatee. He was tall, about 6'5" and had a thick gold earing in his left ear. He wore a white or light beige dress shirt with a tall collar and a black vest/waistcoat made of silk/satin. When he smiled he showed large, rounded teeth that seemed too large for his mouth. This made his mouth protrude a little from face.
      I was able to observe for a few moments before my body began to walk toward the check-in counter. The man behind the counter uttered a few words in a language I could not understand. It sounded like three different voices were talking at once. I realised immediately I was in a dream and tried to hide the expression on my face.
      The man noticed something about me and seemed like he was asking me something before his face went blank. He pulled a large knife from under the counter and thrust it into my solar plexus, his arm stretching farther than it seemed it should have. The knife pierced my body painlessly and I woke up again.

      I did not try to induce another dream that night and instead stayed awake, concentrating on remembering what happened that night in my dreams.
    5. The Bridge

      by , 11-07-2010 at 03:03 PM
      The Bridge
      Clarity: 7/10
      Importance:3/10
      Sleep: Good
      Sleep Position: Unknown
      My brother is supposed to get some tanks or something, and asks some military guys he knows. Next thing I know, we're riding in the back of an armored personel carrier, with two army guys in the front. The incongruity throws me off for a moment, but I eventually just go with it.

      We pass a checkpoint, and I duck down in the back. The people at the gate hardly even look at the army guys in the front, and we barely slow down for the checkpoint.

      Next we come to a bridge, and as we begin to cross it. we notice too late that both sides of the bridge are angled downwards. Instead of meeting in the middle, the slope down towards the water. And our vehicle is sliding down towards the gap in the middle! I'm getting ready to jump out and swim for it, but instead we fall into a metal cage on the surface of the water. From there it carries us to land, to a secret military installation.

      Our armored vehicle is full of civilians now, like a bus, and my brother and I get off with our parents. There are things for sale on the park benches, and my mother buys a cylinder of gum which I put in my pocket. The building here are supposed to be museums and schools, but they are all just stores. We enter a convenience store, and they guy working sees the gum in my pocket and thinks I'm stealing. A customer offers to buy it for me, but I explain to him that we bought it outside.


      Recall lots of other dreams from last night, but they were either boring, or repetitive video game inspired dreams.

    6. Calea - Dreamtea, Night 2

      by , 11-07-2010 at 02:39 PM (Nom nom nom, Mmmattelicious...)
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Good morning. Had a few too many beers last night, and instead of going to sleep with only Calea in my blood, I had probably a few percentages alcohol in there. Anyways I did have a random dream. Not sure if it was two dreams, but they had the same "theme" so what the heck, I'll write it as one.

      Bedtime: 02.00ish

      12.45: Black gangsters
      I'm down at town square and I take off all my clothes except my underwear. I walk a few meters and come to a large outdoors tub filled with foam. I take a bath and is soon joined by a few black guys. My co-worker Snusknicke is sitting in his excavator next to the tub. "Haha yeah this is so gay, taking a bath with several other dudes" I say and he laughs. I realise that the one closest to me, isn't a guy at all, it's a girl.

      She starts talking about how hasch is so misunderstood and people are judging her so quickly. She's talking in a very sluggish kinda way and I can tell she's a crackhoe. I leave the tub and walk back to my clothes, it seems like forever ago since I took them off, and I worry that someone might have taken them. "God damnit! My headphones and my wallet was in my pants" I think for myself. I find my sweater and my shirt, but no pants.

      A few meters away under some rubble, I find them and I'm relieved. I'm suddenly taking care of this small baby aligator and it's snapping at everything. A black crow comes up to it and I realise it must be its mother! I feel very happy when they are rejoined.


      This is very like my normal, waking self. I am often very selfish in my dreams. The dream changes and I'm walking between two large white buildings. They appear to be abandoned and I can see why. There's a gangwar going on on the street.

      A single african guy is standing in the middle of the street, shooting at a couple of people further down, who are behind boxes and statues. I hug the wall to not get hit by the bullets coming from multiple AK-47's. One by one, the people behind the boxes go down, and I can tell they can't aim for shit. The lone guy on the other hand seems to be VERY skilled at it. Near the end the five or so remaining people go down within seconds as he adapts this army-like shooting style. Fast, methodical headshots.

      I can see his right arm is wounded and he puts it in a sling, but other than that. He is unscathed. He smile as he reach the small hill of rubble and people, and runs off the other way. Just another day in the African ghetto.


      Wake up: 12.45

      Amount of sleep: 10 hours

      Food before bed: 1 x Calea extract pill (around 1 g) Lotsa beer.


      That's it! I will try calea out in a few weeks, and only once during the weekend. It doesn't seem to give me much, but I have to admit it does give alot of clarity and apparently I dream about gangsters when I'm on it. We'll see next time I try it.

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

    7. I will Always be The Shark Guarding You in Your Dreams

      by , 11-07-2010 at 01:26 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      Angel is battling me in a forest. She is slinging all her black tentacles at me. I easily block and dodge all her attacks. She's relentless. I turn on my energy shield, and bounce her attacks off of it. She gets angry and attacks harder. I electrify the shield. ZAP!

      OW! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

      Self-defense.

      YOU HURT- M-

      She tries to punch me in the face mid-sentence, trying to use speech to distract me. I grab her wrist, and throw her to the ground.

      HOW COULD YOU HIT ME? I AM A WOMAN!

      I see Selene sitting in a stone chair watching serenely.

      Angel looks to Selene for help. "O, Moon Goddess, I devote myself to you again!" Selene points to me.

      I morph into Tezcatlipoca, the Jaguar God, with thorny vines growing out of me, and bones like hardwood trees. I leap at Angel, tackling her. I open a portal with my third eye midair. I stop myself, and let her keep going. She teleports behind me before she gets to the portal, and shoves a gun in the back of my head. I laugh, moving my face to the back of my head, and biting her gun, crushing it. She lets go of the gun with a shriek and cries for mommy.

      I summon two hemispheres, and I put her in a white orb. She cries about being claustraphobic. I open a portal and boot her into it. The portal closes. I make it so the ball vanishes as soon as he gets through. She keeps talking to me telepathically.

      GET OUT OF MY DREAMS. LEAVE ME ALONE. YOU NEVER WANTED TO BE HERE ANYWAY. At least that's what your waking self said. SO FUCK IT. NO. STOP SUCKING ON MY ENERGY, YOU VAMPIRE.

      I summon blades to come out of my forearms, and cut the cords between us, astral and dream. I feel my astral body doing it, lagging half a second behind.

      NO. MORE. CONTROL.

      Suddenly, all the drama between Angel and I is a 2D square in a white void. It shrinks down to a point, then explodes turning into a black hole, then a sun, then a galaxy, then a universe, then it turns into a single point, then is nothing.

      Selene and I are alone in the void.

      "She was so much like you... So much, Selene. It was so mystical. She even wears the moonstone. I don't understand."

      "Nomad, she is a twinner of me. She is the closest twinner on your planet in your Wakeworld to me. But, we are separate entities. Her Dream Self and I are nearly identical twins, dopplegangers. But, her waking life personality is much different in some ways. She stifles herself by not lucid dreaming, but that is her choice. She made a choice a long time ago, and she suffers. She can change her mind any time she wishes. But, she won't, at least, probably not this lifetime.
      I merged with her to be with you. And, it felt natural, for both of us. But, she didn't approve of my unconditional love for you. She argued with me often, saying that love must be conditional in order to get someone to love you unconditionally. I could not get her to open her eyes to the insanity of that statement. When she told me that is when I demerged from her.

      She says she feels there is a hole in her heart. It's not you that she's missing.

      It's me.

      I will always be here. I will always be your wife. We have already been married fifty years on the dream plane, but you don't perceive it. See, the Delta Sleep Self lives serially from night to night, 300 to five hundred years on the dream plane for one waking life lifetime.

      I expect you to seek out lovers in your other existences, and even this one. I understand how dreams work. I know."

    9. Unintentionally Dreaming

      no no no... I just filled this out, then tried to post it, had to sign in again, and it was all deleted.............
      I don't want to type it again,kompinjk;lmkp]coainfsjodgf

      In short, I have recently been having dreams right after I fall asleep, dreams where I wake up in my bed, do something in my room or apartment, then wake up in my bed only 20 minutes after I had gone to bed.

      This has happened three times in the last 2 weeks
      - first time I woke up in my bed, realized I was dreaming, then woke up for real in my bed.

      -two nights later I woke up, went to my door, opened it and saw a strange figure, realized I was dreaming, then tried doing some lucid dreaming stuff to no avail, stumbled back to my bed, woke up for real, again only 20 or so minutes after I had gone to bed.

      -the most recent time was last night when I dreamed that I was organizing some papers on the floor of my room, I felt extremely tired, and just wanted to sleep, then woke up and realized that I had been sleeping, this again was only a short time after I had gone to bed.

      This seems to happen more when I go to bed pretty late. It is weird because I have never had dreams just after I fall asleep like this before, now it is happening all the time it seems like. Also I haven't been trying to remember my dreams or anything recently, let alone become lucid, it is just happening. Are these false awakenings of some sort? Maybe it will happen again tonight...
    10. Two lucid dreams, 60-70 minutes

      by , 11-07-2010 at 10:32 AM
      I had a WILD last night so I'll start from being awake. I think I woke up at 6.00, though my alarm is set to 4.30 so my alarm didn't wake me up. Before going to sleep I had decided to try VILD.

      The dream

      I start the visualization, visualizing myself in a jungle. Now I am at least entering the dream state. I think I reminded to myself that I'm dreaming. There is a lagoon in front of me and a path behind me. I follow the path. My father joins me. He points towards a little cave formed under the roots of a dead tree and tells me to go hiding. I'm not sure, what I replied, it was "I don't want to" or "I don't have to, because it's my dream". I watch my sister entering the jungle and going hiding under one of the trees. Some thugs are coming down the path. I turn and start walking down the path, away from the thugs. I arrive back to the lagoon. I try the visualization once more, checking if I have all my senses. After that I get out of the jungle, entering a crowded opening. There are some old women by a campfire. One of them yells at me to come to them. I obey her. The woman tells me that theres some sort of game, but they'd need more players. I tell them my father's coming there. I see him in the crowd. I tell the woman he's that man in the black jacket. The woman yells at my father. He comes to us. Now we can get the game started. The woman tells us the rules. We are some drunken amoebas that want to reproduce. In order to do this, we have to touch another drunken amoeba. We begin the game. I touch my father and leave. I go to the other side of the opening and enter the jungle. My dream body disappears. Now I see a dragon. Theres someone telling me it's story. (S?)he is a (wo?)man who shapeshifted into a dragon for a hundred years. Now (s?)he is turning into human again. At the same time (s?)he is hatching (this is the strange part, I have a feeling that it was a he, but still (s)he hatched). The dragon keeps laying eggs and changing between human and dragon. I watch it for a few minutes. Then the dream ends.

      Dream number 2

      I fall asleep soon after waking up. Now I am in a bus. Soon I remember that I'm dreaming. I check my senses. Everything except vision is working well. My vision is about as poor as it is awake. Well, theres a cure for it. Dream eyeglasses! I summon my eyeglasses and put them on. My vision goes better. Nah, these'll just get in the way, I'll use dream contact lenses! I summon my contact lenses and put them on. Problem solved. The bus stops and I get out of it holding three bags. The bus starts to leave. "Wait!" I cry at the bus driver. "I'll just check if my backbag is in there". It isn't. I try to fly, jumping in the air and going into a horizontal position. I crash on the ground, but I don't hurt myself. I get back up, deciding to walk. A girl I know and her friend leave the bus also. I start walking towards my home. They turn to a different direction. There's pretty much snow on the ground but it isn't very cold. The girls stop to a snow hill to glide on mini skis. Other one of them yells at me that I can't glide as well as they can. I go to the hill, pick up a mini ski and climb on top of it (if you are wondering, what mini skis are, they are about 40 cm long skis). The hill is about 4,5 metres high. The girl is about a metre below me. She glides down on her ski. I glide down on mine, but don't do very well. Luckily for me, I have a plan. The girl laughs at me saying something like 'you see? I'm better!'. I summon jetpacks and use them, but I only fly a few metres. "Don't laugh yet, I'm still moving", I tell her. "Hey! That's cheating!" she protests. "It isn't! It's my dream and I can do whatever I want!" I say, going some metres more. "This thing isn't working properly". I get the jetpacks working and boost myself into space. Below me the Earth explodes. Gravity pulls the pieces back together (in a way it wouldn't really do) in to a crudely shaped ball. The oceans are still left so the Earth is still recognizable. The oceans boil out, leaving the Earth. Bender's voice from futurama says something like 'not anymore'. I go back to the Earth. There's still some jungle left. I go to a village. It's very small, about 20-35 people live there. There's a narrow canal with green water in it. That's their all drinking water. The canal is separated in the middle and on the other side the water is a little bit clearer. I ask a man that is with me if that's their all drinking water. He says that it is. There's a woman that could help me somehow. My view changes on her. She is dead, lying in a campfire. I go to her and see that she really is dead. The dream ended soon after this.

      Purple Spots (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      One odd dream. I am trying to journal (online) only my full dreams. Except it one day I have only fragments.

      It was summer and I was going to meet some friends at the beach. We went to a fancy hotel and we had booked a year stay. I was surprised that the hotel allowed us to book a whole year.
      I explored the area. The hotel was full of wooden docks and it had some pools. I could see the beach from the hotel. The sea was rough but people was bathing anyway. Suddenly, I saw a very odd school and I decided to explore it.


      I was at a very odd school. Purple spots spawned everywhere and they were floating around. There were several Dream Characters with me. We were working on element fusion to create new and not discovered elements. One of the DC was naming the new elements we were creating. Suddenly, someone said, "The Mexicans and even one from Spain." I had a pink bike with a big engine.

      The teacher announced that someone's father was dying. We had to save him before his death. I still saw the purple dots floating around.


      Missed dream signs:
      - Booking a whole year at a hotel.
      - Purple dots flying around (I do not do drugs not even smoke... so I do not have waking hallucinations)

      My wife had a few clones. I had sex with one of the clones that had by them a different appearance than my wife. I had a big home with very old school furniture.

      My original wife (not the clones) was mad at me because I did not move the castles as she liked.
      Odd, I know. I exited my home and it was night. I was walking on a fancy walkway. It had well grown grass and small plants with flowers. I saw a small castle on my left. It was actually more of a tower. I was thinking maybe my wife did not like the tower there.

      I went back to home and one of my cats snuzed like a human. My cat grabbed a piece of toiler paper and blowed her nose. She cleaned her nose and drop the paper on her bowl. My cat said she would eat it up later.

      Missed dream signs:
      - My wife had clones.
      - My wife was mad at me for something odd.
      - My cat talked and acted like a human.

    14. Lord of the Rings Featuring Jesse Eisenburg

      by , 11-07-2010 at 05:40 AM
      I am watching Lord of the Rings: Return of the King with my brother and my dad. The first scenes I can recall seeing are helicopter shots of hilly, green, swampy landscapes and grey skies. My brother says, "This is boring!" and I respond, "Nah, I don't think so. Its like a more epic version of Planet Earth". There is then a flashback to a scene from The Two Towers when Gandalf and Aragorn are fighting a red and grey, writhing, serpent-like creature in a street of a burning city. This flashback scene makes me want to watch The Two Towers again, but I am still excited to watch the rest of [U]Return of the King[U]. Next, there is a scene in which Jesse Eisenburg (wearing jeans and a t-shirt) is trying to get somewhere to deliver a message in a large pamphlet to the good guys. This message will be crucial in helping them win the war against Sauron. Eisenburg is trying to get to a boardwalk that follows the edge of a cliff that looms over a large lake, but there is a highway and a railroad track between him and the boardwalk. There are a lot of cars traveling down this two-lane highway, so he waits until the right moment and dashes across the highway. There is no train coming, so he immediately crosses the train tracks and steps onto the board walk. This board walk is slightly hanging over the edge of the cliff and is only held by ropes that are connected to the train track. A train comes, and there is something that topples over and out from the cargo car. As it falls, it severs one of the ropes that suspends the boardwalk. The boardwalk falls over the edge of the cliff along with a screaming Eisenburg. However, he grabs ahold of one of the many vines dangling from the cliff and does not fall to his death. He is only holding on with one hand, as he is clutching the pamphlet in the other hand. I think to myself, "I would've dropped the pamphlet if I were him". He crumples the pamphlet up and sticks it in his pocket so that he can hold on to the vine with both hands. He eventually climbs back up the cliff and continues on with his journey.

      -Level of Lucidity: 3/10 (I had a faint feeling that the LOTR movie wasn't the way it normally is)
      - Feelings while in the dream: 5/10

      Raider vs. Raider
      I am in a forest, I look around to see where I am. The forest looks normal, and I am not aware I am dreaming right now. I walk along one of the paths to see where I might be, thinking things seem a bit strange for reality. I don't actually do a reality check, but I slowly become a bit more lucid at a time. I reach a village and see there are quite a few people wandering around, most of them seem worried about something. One of them acts briefly like I was an enemy, then calms down. She says there are raiders on both sides of them, they didn't know what to do. Raiders… that could be interesting, so I ask where these raiders are. She says they are to the north of the village, but I will want to avoid that place. I don't pay any attention to her, instead I take to flying, which shocks the people in the village, and I head north. There are raiders to the north of the village, but they don't seem to be interested in the village, they are busy fighting each other. There are quite a few of them, they seem to be broken up in smaller groups, battling amongst themselves. The ones I see seem to be blindly cutting down anything that moves, whether it be an enemy raider, a plant, or an animal trying to escape… What a bunch of assholes. I land and form Witchblade into a sword and kill the first group of assholes with little difficulty. They seem to have had the idea a woman wouldn't be a threat… There are quite a few of these groups, so I am going from group to group and doing the same thing in each place. There is an injured lion type cat near one of the fights, I heal the cat, and then the cat decides the raiders look pretty tasty. I come to another group of raiders who are killing themselves… and no, they weren't killing each other, they were killing themselves… One of them struck his sword out in front of him, then somehow the blade was behind him and he ran himself through… what a strange flux of space-time… I see that happening in a few places, and then I spot someone near one of the groups. He isn't there for long, but I would have sworn it was Walms… I catch another glimpse of him near another of the battles where raiders are killing themselves… One of them injures himself and then the lion I healed, or one just like it, pounces and finishes the job. There will be a lot of meat for scavengers to feast on here…

      I'm Going to Disney Land!
      I am in a large theme park, in the dream I believe it to be Disney Land. I am not lucid, so I think I am there on vacation or something. I wander around a bit, I realize I have a camera on my sun glasses. I can get footage of places Disney Land doesn't want me to get footage! I also will have fun. I go over to Space Mountain and take a ride through there on the front car, it is a lot of fun. It was faster than I remembered, but the tunnels are so dark I don't know how well my footage came out. I go to Star Tours, the virtual reality simulator, and it is not as fun as I remember it. The simulated motion sucks. I get the footage anyway. I am thinking I came here with my mom, and she will be waiting up front for me to leave, but there has to be time for one more stop. The Matterhorn! I will get footage on that! I head to the Matterhorn and am waiting in a line that doesn't seem to move when I wake up.

      Smokin!
      I am at school, but it is a much larger school than my normal school. I am walking around the halls trying to find my next class. I have no idea where to go, I need my schedule. That is in my locker, so where is my locker? Shit, I don't know that, either. Damn first day of classes. Tigress is there with me and she says she's off to her class, she'll see me when class is over. I think that's no help, since I don't have class with her for this one. I wander around more, everyone else is now out of the halls and in their classes. I wander to the edge of campus and stand there with a couple other girls talking and clearly ditching class. One of them offers me a smoke. Without even thinking about it, I never smoke IWL, I accept the cigarette and the light. I am standing there smoking with the girls. One of them says her mother checks her purse, so she hands me her pack of cigarettes. She said the only condition is that I share with her. I say sure and put the pack in my purse. Somehow here time is missing, because the next instant I am getting home in my car. I go inside the house and say hi to my mom. She says hi, but then sees my open purse and the pack of cigarettes. She looks so disappointed. I say they're not really mine, I am holding them for a friend… then I realize how lame that sounds. I tell her ok, they're mine, but I only smoke about one cigarette every month or so… if I smoked more, she would smell it on me, right? Right? I don't think she believes me.
