    1. Sailing and spelunking

      by , 09-20-2010 at 01:23 PM
      I was with a few friends, including Hannah, I think, and saw on tv a few people sailing and their boat making huge sprays of water. Then I was sailing with George from back home and Peter, but we were going along shallow paths of water surrounded on either side. It was more like a little kid's place to come and sail. At one point we got stuck on the rocks but I pushed the boat and we kept going. Eventually we were walking across slippery rocks instead of sailing. And then we wanted to go for an adventure so George encouraged us to go off on a little side path and climbing down this slick, straight slope, using the railing that was above. There were also those friction strips that you find on stairs. Peter tried first, but couldn't comfortably get down very far. George had the same problem. I was about to go, when an alarm went off.

    2. Wave 52: Geez Meghan

      by , 09-20-2010 at 12:45 PM (The Meerkat's Lair)
      It seems like I cant have ONE lucid dream. They come in packs of two. It's the third time now that I get two LDs in two nights. Awesum. However, when it comes to Control, I am just chasing my tail. Like I get lucid and go: Yay! Now what?

      Dream 1: This was the smoothest transition so far. I just walked in my living room and did an RC for no reason, while not being lucid at all. Then I went: Wait, this is a dream. Well thats convenient! This time I tried summoning Meghan Fox, for practical purposes. All I got was my cat, for real. Epic fail. But something weird did happen. As I got in my room to desperatly practice my DC, the light is low. I want the lights to be on, so I turn on my lamp. And it worked. I thought lights werent supposed to work in dreams. Im gonna post about this in the forum later. Im tired of reading other people's DJs saying they had epic control in their second dream. FUCK YOU

      Dream 2: When I LD, for some reason I keep getting minimal non-ld recall. But this one goes from scene to scene, all related to school. Im in class, but I forget my music book. I go get it and get a manquement. Multiple times, I see Ana and Samuel, who arent in our school anymore. I talk around. When I go up the stairs with another guy, and Alice grabs me, saying shes jealous because Laure has tons of guys that like her and shes got none. In another scene, I play some kind of Dieu Merci with Justine, along with other ppl. But what I remember very clearly is when I went to play Mario Kart with dudes, but then they all left so I started playing alone and kept trying the last level. It is a big bowser face. Then in a hidden spot, I see the Badass Hog from the game Monster Dash.

    3. Wasting away in Margaritaville

      by , 09-20-2010 at 12:42 PM (Ranbow Island - Otis's Dream Journal)
      Two dreams about my job last night. Both of them were actually AT my job too. These dreams were a rarity, wherein they were normal. :O The only thing that set them of was in dream number two as i was dealing with a very nasty customer, 'Margaritaville' started playing on the speaker system. I instantly knew i was dreaming, but all i did was relax, and i lost everything. Arg i hate my job.. I've never had dreams where my brain actually used the layout of that unholy departments store. I guess i need to boost my RC's, and cross my finger they work next time...Assuming this wasn't a fluke lol.



      Wasting away again in Margaritaville,
      Searching for my lost shaker of salt,
      Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
      But I know it's nobody's fault.
    4. Night of 9/19-9/20

      by , 09-20-2010 at 12:01 PM (SCPantera's Dream Journal)
      Short fragment and a slightly longer fragment tonight. The short fragment was that I was walking down a long isle in a grocery store, shopping with my wife. She was asking me if we should get some juice, but I was like, "Eh, nah." This, of course, would never happen in real life; my wife absolutely refuses to take me grocery shopping.

      In the second sequence I was walking down the street with a black woman. We were about to get on a subway. She was telling me about how she was looking forward to riding the IM subway for the first time, only she pronounced it like the "im" in "him". A white woman near us who overheard was annoyed and corrected her that it was pronounced like initials. As we walked down the stairs into the subway, the black woman had her subway pass on some kind of wood or plastic board; she didn't know she was supposed to hold it at a certain angle as she passed through the scanner, but it was hanging at the right angle anyways. As we proceeded she asked me why I didn't need a pass, I told her it was because I had already picked up a special permit which required two forms of ID and that when you show them they only give back one (which I then thought was kind of counterintuitive). As I was telling her this, we were passing by the special permit area where I could remember earlier (possibly even in the same dream here) standing in line to get the permit. The subway looked more like an airport terminal.

    5. Weird Stream of Dreams

      by , 09-20-2010 at 09:03 AM
      Had a few short very vivid dreams last night, one of them rather disturbing.

      My dream started with me in the kitchen, then I looked down my wrists and there were 3 deep knife gashes in my wrists blood was oozing out.

      Second dream:

      This Tv presenter walked into my room following my dad and then my dad told me to play the guitar and I got angry at him because I am not very good at it.

      third dream:

      I made out with this really good looking chick from the movie Zombieland, but I was paranoid that my lips were dry so I kept licking my lips to moisten them

    7. Stuff

      There was some dark place I was in, with Lanna and some other person. Some girl who was quite thin, and about our age. She had a dark, mysterious look about her.
      Lanna had some mini-djungelvrål lollies, and I was like "woah where did you get them?" And then she had green, mint flavoured ones. I think mine had arrived and I was about to go get them.

      There were some people doing cosplay.

      I fell asleep again, waking up remembering the following:

      There was some bike race and I was standing there watching it with Daniel. He was saying how it was the Japanese bike race or something. I worked out that it was in Tokyo and all of a sudden was riding in it. I said "Tour de Tokyo", lol. Daniel said to look out for the guy that was a really good cyclist. I caught up to him and the back of his cyclist clothing there was a logo and it said "That Guy" xD
      I can't remember much from here, but I think there was a part where one of those tandem bikes overtook me. They had a blue bike and were wearing blue clothing.

      Memory blank. Next thing I remember I was playing guitar and Kattknopp was there with me. We both played some stuff on guitar that was being recorded on video. No wait, actually we were both recording videos of ourselves playing guitar.

      Then this guy that was watching us was all like "hey, you should sing at the same time!" but I really didn't want to. Firstly because I suck at singing (especially while playing guitar at the same time), and secondly because this guy seemed like a total pervert and I really didn't like him. Kattknopp recorded her playing with singing anyway and it was really good. I was about to but somehow got delayed and never did.

      There was another part where I wanted to show Lanna the song New Zealand by Eric Stoltz, and I was searching for it on my computer but I could only find these other songs by him (I don't have any other songs by him) that weren't as good and Lanna was getting impatient because I couldn't find the songs.

    8. Oddity at the store

      Oddity at the store (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I am still under my dry spell of low recall, but still recalling some stuff during the night. As some of you know, I have been a little anxious with my new business stuff, but it will be over soon.

      I was in the Pata Negra store. I entered and it had an electric door. The door opened itself and I started to get the store ready for opening. Suddenly, the door closed itself, and the store was dark. The lights did not work so I had to guess to opened again.

      Some customers came in. The door closed itself a few times. I apoligized the customers and wondered what happened.

      Close to the backroom, there were some folks doing a cocktail drink, pouring a lot of alcohol from a weird liquor bottle.

      Missed dream signs:
      - That odd door.
      - Light not working.

      What I would have done if lucid:
      - Head for a ToTY.

    9. I guess I thought about food a lot yesterday...

      by , 09-20-2010 at 06:54 AM (a teahouse inside my head.)
      I was expecting to dream chain this morning and I even woke up from a dream and stayed still with my eyes closed, but I waited for over 5 minutes with no indication of SP or anything, so I gave up. I don't think I was tired enough. I do have two dreams to share with you!

      Dream 1: Who wants some pizza?
      I was at school, and I can picture exactly where I was standing and exactly the way everything looked because it looked exactly like my school actually looks, down to every detail. I won't sit here describing my school for you though. I was standing at a table with my really close friend and two senior girls I've never really spoken to. We had about 6 pizzas from California Pizza Kitchen, 5 of them were cheese and one was veggie. We were trying to sell them for some cause. We also had a ton of candy we were selling. All of a sudden I ate 4 pieces of cheese pizza, and I paid a quarter for each one. Then I tried to buy a veggie one but as I reached for the piece I wanted, an African-American lady that seemed like she was a parent or teacher walked up and took the piece I wanted. The only one left barely had any toppings on it. I remember taking a mushroom that had fallen off another slice and putting it on mine and eating it. That was the whole dream. I find it odd considering I can only eat about 2 slices of pizza at once.

      Dream 2: Project Runway/Top Chef
      I was in a show that was a combination of Top Chef and Project Runway. That is, it was a show where there were designers who designed things based on food. I wasn't actually a contestant, it was as if I was just watching it, but in person. The challenge was to create a pair of shoes (why would clothing designers be making shoes?) based on button candy. One of the designers were making these really ugly shoes in this shade of purple which I find really ugly (and isn't related to button candy at all).

    10. #150. Aliens

      by , 09-20-2010 at 06:04 AM (Things to Run Away From Really Fast)
      09/19/10

      "No! No! Stop!" she shouts at the bizarre figures. She's the character from last night's dream, the roommate who looks like a younger Halle Berry. The girl struggles, tries to pull away, but she's strapped into the machine by strong hands holding her down.

      The black tendrils bury into her wrists and she screams. Sizzling with dark energy and blue sparks, the wires grate against every nerve, causing her pain beyond what she's ever imagined. (I feel the echo.)

      She's suspended horizontally, supported only by the wires on her wrists and ankles, which string her tightly over the laboratory floor. It's pure agony.

      "You should be quiet." Says one of the aliens. "If you keep screaming, we'll put you in the chambers."

      Images of coffin-sized capsules, each containing a human being. The capsules are filled with a liquid which burns ("like lava," whispers one of the victims) and seems to eat away at the person inside. It's a stable chemical reaction which will last for an eternity, providing power for the alien conquerors to sustain their society.

      ("This is hell.")

      "Nonononono..." whispers the girl, trying to ignore the pain. "I'll be quiet, please! Don't put me in there, I can be quiet!"

      I come back to myself. I'm sitting cross-legged on the cold floor, and my arms are suspended by the same tendrils that are causing the other girl such pain. The wires dig into my wrists, and the blue energy sizzles through my arms. I breathe out and sink into a meditation.

      "Is it broken?" One of the aliens asks, curiously.

      I open my eyes. The two aliens are talking quietly amongst themselves. It's unheard of for a human to be able to withstand this particular torture for so long. It's been at least twenty-four hours since I've been put into it, and the two beings in front of me seem to think that it's broken my mind.

      I'm not, of course, human.

      My possible futures flash before me. In one, I collaborate with the aliens and facilitate the destruction of the human race. Eventually, I'll destroy the conquering civilization itself, and move on to the rest of the galaxy. In a few futures, I'll lead humanity in a rebellion, with varying degrees of success.

      I don't pick one. Instead, I play through each of them, living through each possibility until the point that all life in the universe is destroyed.

      It never takes long.

    11. Attaining Lucidity: My First Lucid Dreams (August 3rd and 4th)

      by , 09-20-2010 at 05:15 AM
      7 is the magic number. Scientists are telling us now that, due to research backed results, anything more or less than 7 hours of sleep is relatively bad for you. Let us assume that an average person follows this religiously, and then let us assume that he lives to be a ripe age-of-majority (I think) 75 years old.
      That means that this average person spends about 191, 625 hours sleeping (not counting Leap-years). Not doing anything, and MAYBE he'll get a good dream out of it if he's lucky. But most people can't remember many of their dreams, and when they do, it feels so aloof that it doesn't seem like they've experienced it.
      For me, that has always been unsettling until I discovered a place called Dream Views five years ago. Through constant research I began my quest to understand the power of lucid dreaming and how to manipulate my dreams. However, my attempts were mostly made up of WILDs during the night before I was going to sleep, which ended in failure every time. Suffice to say I got less and less motivated because, as you'd probably be the first to tell me, I wasn't motivated in the first place.

      Well this all changed once I saw the movie "Inception", and found out that Christopher Nolan (the director) has been lucid dreaming since he was 7 years old. Anyhow, maybe you already knew all this, but the main point of this blog is this: I've been researching lucid dreaming for almost 5 years; it has always fascinated me since reading about it, and due to the huge amount of tutorials here on Dream Views, I've learned quite a bit. But I've never been able to pull it off until a few weeks ago thanks to the CANWILD technique by CrazyInsane.
      So, below are the dreams I had, and on which days. I now understand that not only is Lucid Dreaming possible, but that the dream world is as real as ours in every way, and that the connection you can build to the events in your dreams feel as if they are true experiences that you yourself have gone through; and they remain in your mind as memories of your life- best of all, you feel as if you've done something with those 7 or however many hours you've slept, rather than that you've just slept through part of your life.
      Tuesday Night (August 3rd):

      Ok, so the first one I attempted as soon as I read a tutorial. I downloaded the sound and alarm clock, set it, and went to bed. Unfortunately, I was SO excited, that I couldn't get to sleep for the longest time. I'd finally fall asleep then have a long, vivid dream (non-lucid) and then wake up. Get a drink, go back to bed, unable to sleep, then finally get to sleep, and have another vivid non-lucid dream, wake up etc, for about three of these cycles. However, in the final one, I was having a dream and decided to look at my clock as I've trained myself to do, and lo and behold, it wasn't consistent (for digital clocks in dreams never are)! So I thought "Aha! This is a dream!" so I immediately started rubbing my hands together and examining them and things got ultra-real. So I decided to examine the mechanics of my dreaming mind, how things behaved, etc. I remember feeling completely aware, I remember checking the mirror to see what I looked like and I looked the same and was kinda disappointed but the image was slanted, also I'm 80% sure that I created things to see how that worked, basically this was a training exercise for me, and that's how I worked it. When things started to get blurry or dark, I'd rub my hands together again and continue exploring. I'd say I was in the dream for a perceivable hour.

      When I awoke, the next day I had such a sensation of accomplishment, as though I'd actually done something with the time that I'd otherwise be wasting in sleep, and I pondered what I would do next.

      So, for the first lucid dream I was not able to use the clock, but I became lucid because of how anticipant I was.

      Anyhow, the next day at work I checked the clock constantly, did more reality checks, and thought of what I'd like to do next. Anyhow, I decided I'd like to learn summoning next, and so I picked Tricia Helfer as my subject. I theorized that if I was to summon her, as per this site's guidelines, it would need to be believable, so I theorized that using my phone (which is my "totem" if you will as I also use it to check the time to make sure it's consistent) to have her on speed dial would do it, that or going to a building that seemed like the kind she might be at. Besides, I also read here on Dream Views that having a Dream Character help you in whatever task you are trying in the dream world, stabilizes the dream

      So, I got home, read up on more techniques especially in controlling a dream, decided the passive way was best, and went to sleep.
      Wednesday Night (August 4th):
      Well, AGAIN I was too excited to sleep and had much difficulty, but since I remained awake,
      I entered SP (Sleep Paralysis) at one point, tried to sit up in it, but ended up waking myself up and recalling that someone had posted and said it's better not to because you risk waking up (Better to just enter the dream). 'However that is supposed to be done.' I thought. Anyhow, later, the alarm went off! And I heard it but faintly, and so I thought "this is it!" I was already in SP and was waiting, trying to remember what to do, when my body felt like the top half of it was being lifted. But not my physical body, more like a floating body, if you know what I mean. Anyhow, I thought I'd just let it happen, so I did, I got lifted up till my top-half was 90 degrees with the bed, then I shot up out of the room and entered the dream (which was my room lol) but I was standing in it.

      Anyhow, I remembered how the day before I had been talking to my cousin about doors and if you could make some other destination appear when you open the door, to go to that is. So anyhow, I opened the door and it was just like the norm in my house and I got frustrated and slammed the door. Can't remember what happened next but eventually I got into a fancy restaurant and thought "this is where I'll find Tricia Helfer" and when approached by the hostess I said "Yes for two, but she may be here already" so I went into the dining room but found that she wasn't there. I thought this odd because I thought I was being quite cunning in my manipulations but I waited for a while and she still never showed up. So I thought "why don't I call her?" so I checked my phone, and sure enough she was on my speed dial, I called her and she said she wouldn't be able to make it. At that point I thought "I thought I was controlling this dream? Guess I'm not.". But she said she'd meet me "somewhere" so anyhow, I ended up walking down the street when suddenly, from the sky, came a rocket ship, crashing into the ground like the canisters of weapons on Halo 3. The policeman opened it and freaked out. When I got there, I saw it was Tricia Helfer inside and I explained to the officer (to his confusion) that I knew her and it was fine. So we left, I asked her what took her so long, I forget what she said, but I pondered why she had come out of the sky rather than just be "around the corner" so to speak (which is supposedly one of the best ways to summon things in a dream. just know that it's around the corner or, like I tried, in the restaurant). Anyhow, we both navigated through the dream and there were some people after her for some reason but mostly I tried to get a handle on creating things. Again, I felt completely aware in this dream but found it odd that I was jumping from one location to the next.
      But that's it. I tried the next night again but to no avail as I was so exhausted having not eaten for hours because I had to go look at a house straight from work.

      To date however I have had no lucid dreams and am getting frusterated because it was all so easy, but not so much anymore. Anyhow, I will continue to look to you here on Dream Views for more inspiration and support, and I'd like to say thanks for my progress so far.

    12. 09-11-10 Of Mice and Futures Told

      by , 09-20-2010 at 02:45 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Note: I fell asleep with the goal of meeting up with MoSh, who said he wants to get in contact with his guide and ask him a few questions, but before that MoSh had said he would help out in an attempt to heal my ailing pet, Frodo, who is a guinea pig who seems to be suffering from a serious illness. I don't know how much chance there is of doing a dream healing on that, but I figure there is nothing to be lost by trying. I fell asleep, aiming for a WILD, but epic fail…

      I got up out of bed, annoyed at myself that I had been unable to successfully enter a WILD, I wondered what is going on with me that it seems to be so much trouble getting into a WILD. It either works wonderfully or epic fails, and I am getting pretty tired of it. I went into the bathroom to use the facilities before going back to bed, somewhere around the bathroom door I thought I had better do a RC , I did that, and discovered I was already in a dream! Now that I was lucid I completely forgot my need to use the bathroom and considered what my goals were, I didn't remember everything clearly, but I remembered MoSh was part of it, so I would start by getting to MoSh's inner world. I tried to open a portal, but nothing happened, wtf? I knew I was dreaming and that I should be able to open a portal, but it wasn't working, which was just another annoyance. I saw the closed door to my game room and focused on it leading to MoSh's inner world, but when I opened it, all I found was my game room. Frodo was in his cage making some soft noises that sounded more like groans of pain that purrs, so I went over to check on him, he didn't look good at all. That was when I remembered the goal of healing him, and I remembered MoSh and Pablo had both offered to help, so maybe I could do that first if I wasn't able to open a portal to find MoSh… um… but I still had to find MoSh…

      I decided maybe if I could just get out of my own inner world I might be able to go find MoSh and Pablo, but I wasn't even sure how to do that… I cursed out loud at the fact I was lucid and yet I didn't seem to remember how to use my abilities that I have been using for so long. How to open a portal 101, sounded corny, but that's what went through my mind. Step 1: Decide on a destination. Done, I was going to Pablo's inner world. Step 2: Focus on the image clearly in my mind. Done, I had a nice image of the forest I have seen repeatedly in Pablo's inner world. Step 3: Use Through the Never by Metallica while tracing a circle in the air to indicate where the portal will open. Through the Never, that was the problem, I didn't have any way to play music. I went back to my bedroom to find my purse, I needed my iPod, that would have the song I needed… but I couldn't find it, there was nothing but $20 bills stuffed in my purse. I finally found a music player of some kind… it was weird, but I knew it would do, and I somehow knew Through the Never was on it… so I played the song and opened a portal, which I went through.

      On the other side of the portal I was exactly where I wanted to be, I took a step forward as I scanned the forest for any sign of Pablo, I tripped, and I face planted right there in the grass. What had I just tripped over? I turned to look and I saw there had been a fox right at my feet, and he was what I had tripped over, now the fox was just eyeing me with a mixture of amusement and concern. I got up and dusted myself off, since I had landed in the grass it hadn't hurt at all, and I asked the fox if he had somehow planned that. The fox shook his head, but I hadn't really meant it seriously anyway. I said I had come looking for Pablo, he had said he would help me heal my pet, which triggered the fox to transform from an adult fox to an adorable little cub and then jump into my arms. I caught the cute little bundle and gave him a hug before returning to my inner world through the same portal I had used to get there in the first place.

      Once I was back in my own house, still holding a cute little fox pup, I saw MoSh was already there and seemed a bit surprised to see me back. He asked me where I had been, I just responded by holding up the fox, he said he had thought I was going to come see him. I said I had tried, but my portals weren't working very well. He said ok, then said he wanted to visit his guide, I said he'd agreed to help me heal Frodo, he said ok to that. We went into my game room where Frodo was in his cage, still huddled in the corner making some noises that didn't sound good, so we did a healing spell on him, then Nomad showed up and we did it again. I wondered if the healing spells had any chance of working if the little guy had cancer… I didn't want to be thinking like that, but I couldn't help it. MoSh said he hoped the little guy got to feeling better soon, I said I also hoped for that. MoSh asked if we could go meet up with his guide now, I said sure, I was not sure if I could open the portal, but I tried it… nothing happened. I still wasn't getting anywhere towards opening a portal, so I grabbed my music player and opened the portal as I ignored MoSh saying he would do that. I didn't want to admit I couldn't do it myself, it was too annoying. MoSh and I went through the portal and exited into his inner world. I looked around to see if I could find his guide, but I didn't see anyone else anywhere around. MoSh said he knew where his guide wanted to meet up, so he would open the portal. He did that, we went through, and we met up with MoSh's guardian.

      It turned out that MoSh wanted to know if his guide knew anything about what might happen in the year 2012. I don't remember exactly how the conversation went, but Victor and MoSh were talking about it for a time, and this is what I remember. Victor said that the year 2012 doesn't indicate the date of some kind of fire and brimstone / rapture type end of the world, he said the end that could be beginning in 2012 is caused by much more mundane sources… people. And it's not something that will happen overnight, rather it is something that is already in progress, but will be more apparent after 2012. It basically has to do with consuming more resources than can be replenished, leading to some serious issues, basically if people don't start being more careful with how they take care of natural resources, there won't be anything left. But there is still time to change things before it's too late, so there is not necessarily anything serious to be started after 2012…

      Victor talked about the different things that people are doing to self-destruct as well as destroying the rest of the world. Using too many resources will lead to shortages worldwide, famines, droughts, war… As he was talking about all of the negative predictions my mind wandered, and I realized I wasn't paying as much attention to that as maybe I should have since I have basically heard it all before, and I have little hope that anything is going to change before it's too late. The next thing I noticed was that MoSh was asking me if I was hearing anything Victor was saying at all. I said sure, I was, but I've heard it all before, and nothing is going to change, so what's the point? Victor was now talking about music, he was talking about remembering dream music in waking life. This was something I was quite interested in, so I was paying attention again.

      Victor was talking about remembering the first part of the song being the most important part, because if we make sure and remember the first part then the rest of it will be much easier to recall. MoSh and I were practicing on a song I didn't recognize, he was playing his guitar while I played on an electronic keyboard. I tried the song the first time… epic fail. I thought I heard MoSh laughing… I was going to be annoyed, but I didn't allow that since I really had epic failed at the song… I tried again, and this time I did a bit better. MoSh was doing very well on his guitar, my keyboard playing still left much to be desired. We tried it one more time. I still thought that while his music rocked, mine was still second rate, but at least it seemed to be passable.. I was happy at the improvement I had accomplished, MoSh was talking to Victor about what else helps. Victor said that it is important to play the song ourselves instead of just listening to it. It can be done with just hearing it, but playing it makes the tune stay in the mind much better. I continued playing the song on the keyboard, and MoSh was playing along with the guitar, and I was wondering if I might be able to remember this IWL. I was hoping I could, then I woke.

      Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening

      I had at LEAST three dreams from last night, but I could only remember part of one. I am not gonna post my little green dream fragment symbol from now on, I am too lazy. Also, I only my best dream(s) of the night on my e-DJ, I keep the rest in my physical DJ. I will be posting one from over a year ago soon with the date of 'The Archives'.

      Here what I remember of my dream:
      1. Looking at my crush R's YouTube profile.
      2. In my Humanities class with Ms. B.
      3. In the lunch quad area, watching people make out on the tables.

      Portal (MILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I focus on MILD. I know I need to make sure to think more clearly in my lucids. This time I thought thinking step by step would work good. first part become lucid, part two become stable. Part three experiment with opening a portal. Part four take it to a baron part of the Mojave desert. Part five create my fortress. I also needed to remember to continually stabilize through out the dream.

      I was in my room and became lucid without doing a RC. Everything was very vivid and wasn't completely sure it was a dream. Okay step two stabilize. I felt my pants and noticed I had the same clothes on I had yesterday. I saw my super favorite gray sleeping shorts in the floor. I knew it was silly but I changed into those ones. I very Sudenly destabilized, nearly waking up. The problem is there were no lights on in my room making it hard to stay stable. I can never turn on the lights in my room in lucid dreams. I could only see a fuzzy squint and couldn't open my eyes. I thrashed around my room touching things trying to become stable. I refused to give up this dream. I did a noes RC and it helped a little bit. I had so far only stabilized the touch sense. I knew I needed the taste sense so I went up to the thing closest to me and forced myself to lick it. It was white and I think it was my closet door. It didn't taste good but luckily didn't have a lot of taste to it. I slowly became more vivid. I could open my eyes and things weren't fuzzy.

      I went into the kitchen and my sister was doing homework with two of her friends. It was day time outside even though there had been no light coming through the window in my room. I got some 5 gum and chewed on it. I don't care for mint flavored gum but 5 gum is alright and I just need it to keep stable.

      Okay step three. I started out with trying some electrokinesis as a warm up. I focused on shooting some at a coffee pot on the counter. I didn't think I anything happened but my mom said I did. I guess I didn't see it at this angle. Next I made one bolt come out of each finger. I made them meet in the middle and now focused on forming my energy into a ball. I got a small ball of what looked like a cross between blue fire and electricity. I once I got that I brought my other hand in and made it bigger and bigger. Once I got it into a stable shape about the size of a golf ball I let it bounce around on my hand. I went back and kept making it bigger and denser. I got it to about a meter across. Thats bigger than what I needed so I forced it smaller again and raised my hand above my head. I traced a rectangle about the size of my body and then it formed a portal. Cool now what.

      I didn't really know how to connect it to the place I needed to go. "Connect to uh the Mojave desert in a place where its Baron and theres no people." I said. I wanted to make sure it took me to the right place so I took my shoes and socks off and put it through the portal. I felt the ground and it felt like dry dirt. YES its the right place! I got over excited and went through but I wasn't in the Mohavee desert. I was on some college campus in a spot where there is dirt. D: I should have simply made another portal but I noticed a computer in a window which gave me an idea. I would try and search google images for a picture of the Mojave Desert.

      I flew over to a near by computer store and sat down at a computer. I typed in google.com and instead of google some search engine Ive never heard of before. It said PB or something and thats right I could read the computer screen. Basically I wasted the rest my dream. After a long time that I should forget it and just teleport there like the plan. I tried to charge up some energy again but I'm still need more practice.
      Grah why didn't I just spend the whole dream training! Now I was pretty frustrated and I flew back to the college and there where people there. I tried to charge up my hand and I ran and pushed it into one of the DC's chidori style. Nothing happened however. I walked over to a window that spanned the entire front of a building and round house kicked it. It shattered and fell and was pretty cool. A DC security guard ran at me so I grabbed him by his collar and his belt and flipped him over onto the ground. I tried to charge one last time and managed to get some electricity flowing but I woke up.

      Subconscious Shenanigans (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Unfortunately I don't remember this one all that well (I need to work on recall!) but it was indeed alucid dream. I believe this was led into from another dream. From what I can remember, it seems as though I was lucid the entire time. I had intended to communicate with my subconscious the next time I became lucid, so that is what I was trying to do. I remember looking over a rather scenic landscape, and chatting with several people who are all parts of my subconscious, or so it seems. The scene pans quite a bit, and by the end I'm on a floating platform of sorts... tied to a tree, I think? I can't really remember.

      Somewhere about halfway through the dream I notice that my "dream" only fills a rectangle in my field of vision.
      (Think the Animus from Assassin's Creed. I've been playing that a lot the past couple days.) I can see and hear my friend Andy off to the left, and he can hear what I'm saying to these parts of my subconscious. I'm not lucid enough to realize this isn't possible. As for what I actually ask my subconscious, I'm not quite sure. I know I didn't get to ask everything I wanted to. I only clearly remember the bit at the end, though I recall several people. There was also a robot sort of thing that I couldn't really understand. Mainly I was talking to this jolly, but VERY fat man. Towards the end he puts on a record which has some recorded burp-type sounds on a baseline of sorts, which I think is a meme I've heard. (It isn't, but sadly it isn't far off...)

      I remember asking in joking disbelief, "have the memes really sunk in this far...?"

      He responded, "Well, perhaps you haven't heard this one, but somebody did, on _____" (some website, I can't remember. Think like Pandora radio or Last.fm)

      "So what, is it like in the hivemind then, or something?" I joked. I don't remember his response. Around this time, the one question I do remember asking is about having more lucid dreams, to which he answers, "Just be yourself, and keep doing what you've been doing." The advice doesn't seem too helpful, but on the other hand... I did something right. He ends up leaving saying, "Sorry, I gotta go. I'm gonna be on TV soon, you know."

      "Yeah, I'm sure you're just wildly popular," I laugh. He motions to a woman that's there suggesting that she's the popular one. There was also some random man there, but I didn't end up talking to either of them. The dream faded before I got to ask the other questions I wanted to, like about intuition and the paranormal.
