    1. Still searching

      Method: WILD
      Recall: Average
      Lucid Ability: 3

      Dream Length: short

      I arrive outside of my house and the first think of I looking for Walms. I call out and see if hes's there, and nothing happens. I try pulling out my sword again, and still nothing. Then i just tried swiping at the air just to see if it would make a portal, and still nothing.

      I saw a car heading down the road, and decided to get in the way of it. The car swerved out the way, and crashed into the ditch. The guy got out, and was really angry at me. Of course I was loving every second of this. We got into a fight, I won of course..this time I stabbed some glass from the wreck through his sternum all the way down to his heart.

      I saw some more random DC's and I told them to tell Walms that I'm still looking for him...the dream faded out.



      I had another dream where I was trying to get this womans number. At first it looked like all systems go, and then she said something smart and I told her I didn't want it. Then we went back and fourth and random DCs sided with her. I was trying to figure out where everyone came from all of a sudden, because we were the only two people talking in the back of that room at the start.

    3. Longest dreams in a long time.

      by , 09-02-2010 at 03:00 PM (Robo's Dreams)
      Notes - nondream - I was thinking about nomad's "Secrets of the Dreamworld" post, and I remembered something Shard, my guide, Said, "Everyone has a shard, I am one of many." It matched up, at least in my mind, with what Nomad's post said, something about, "Gawn split his soul into two halves, one half he shattered into millions of pieces and bound them to the souls of humans, and he kept the other half." the implications of this hit me like a brick and it was all I could think about until I fell asleep, so I was unable to think straight enough to try to look at a reploid-robo in a mirror for Nomad's Serial Dream RPG. On the plus side, I had 4 dreams, so that's always a plus.

      -Dream/right before I started-

      I saw 3 unfamiliar energy signatures, two where medium sized, seemed male, and one was smaller and seemed female. I knew it was something about training. I remember doing a slow motion power-punch at one of them, he blocked it, but was knocked backward and slid about 5 meters, though he never lost his footing. I could sense approval.

      -Dream 1-

      I was a knight, my friends had been captured and imprisoned in a dungeon. I was trying to save them. I had just fought a tough opponent, and was severely weakened, so I was relieved when I opened the door and saw my friends cages, they where still alive. the cage on the left held the party's rouge, she had long red hair and she was a notoriously bad lock-picker, so bad that I took up lock-picking so that we could get things open. The cage on the right held our ogre, twice my size, but as far a ogres come, he was.. well, he doesn't eat us, so I suppose that's a good start.

      I had just gotten to the cage when I heard someone behind me, "I knew this wouldn't be that easy." I turned around to face my new foe, a guard, but he had a dagger, one hit and I knew I would die, so I grabbed my shield and held it up, waiting for an opening. I blocked his dagger 4 times, on the fifth hit, I bashed him, grabbed my war-axe from my side, and cleaved him. his body crumpled. I didn't bother looting the body, my friends where more important at the moment, I had to free them before more guards appeared. I picked the lock on the rouge's cage first, the lock opened. the rouge stepped aside, I saw a treasure chest behind her. My eyes widened. I heard a growl next to me, I looked up and saw an impatient ogre in the adjacent cage with his arms crossed.

      -Dream 2-

      I am walking down the street in a dangerous part of town. I knew that people are regularly killed here, so I am a bit wary. I also know that a dark green car is usually seen around the victim, I am keeping a lookout for the green car. I see a Lime green car, In my mind, I know there is nothing to fear, but panic kicks in. I run down the street as fast as I can and turn into the first door I see. I run inside a bank, but I know that the bank works with the killers.

      -Dream 3-

      I am a collage student, walking down the hall. I see a friend of mine mixing a bucket of black paint. I sit next to him and mix some red paint with him. there is an unfinished painting on the wall in front of us, a recent project my friend has been working on undoubtedly. Somehow, my feet got stuck in the paint bucket, It feels really weird. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get my feet out of the bucket without spilling paint all over the floor. I walk out into the courtyard.

      -Dream 4-

      I am looking for something to buy. a book, but I don't know what book. I go to a woman's home because she is selling thing out of her house. when she answers the door, the first thing I notice is that she is attractive, but she is also unattractive at the same time, she invites me in. I notice a SNES, but I don't really care at the time. I look around, see a few neat things, but nothing I would be willing to buy. I keep thinking to bring up dreaming and mystical stuff, but I keep hesitating, and then the dream is lost.

    4. At the moment...

      by , 09-02-2010 at 02:37 PM
      I cannot recall anything from last night as of right now, perhaps I woke up during a part of the sleep cycle which makes it harder to recall dreams. Its just weird, I'm completely blanking out when the previous night I at least remembered bits and pieces. I'll meditate later on and see if anything comes to mind, as well as just seeing if anything comes to mind.

    5. Dreams from a couple nights ago

      by , 09-02-2010 at 02:36 PM
      9-01-2010

      I remember seeing a blue-light ufo against a black night sky, as well as talking with kurt leland about something (I don't remember what we were discussing). Also saw a old friend in one of them, I think.

      There were no other stars in this part of the sky I saw the blue ufo in, and it was morphing a little bit. And in center view. The room I was having a conversation with Kurt Leland was possibly white walls and nothing else in it. He's the author of a out-of-body experience book... the mood of this conversation was straight forward and to the point though. Almost to the point of tension or frustration, maybe a little anger. The part with my friend in it was calm though.

      The overall mood was a little tense.

    6. Fragment

      by , 09-02-2010 at 01:07 PM
      12/10/2009

      I slept pretty badly last night, so all I remember is folding and hanging up hoodies at work... which is probably because I told Shannon that I was doing so much of it lately and it's been in my dreams already. I also remember finding some frat boy's pin and finding out that he was deceased. And looking around the school and trying to get into his locker. Which should have told me I was dreaming because schools are one of my dream signs. But I think I was just trying to get some sleep because Andrea was tossing and turning all night.

    7. Retail, Performance Anxiety

      by , 09-02-2010 at 01:07 PM
      12/08/2009

      Retail

      This wasn't much of a dream. I'm working somewhere that seems like a mix between the school bookstore and PacSun. I have some 3/4 length sleeve hoodies to hang somewhere but they don't seem to fit with the theme of the displays on the walls. There are cabinets that have like small banners around the center of them with names of what goes in the cabinet sort of by theme. Upon closer inspection, it seems that it's a toy store theme and the things that belong in the walls are legos and various video games. But it's clothes hanging up there instead. In fact, one cabinet had VCU tye-dyed hoodies with patches on them of various alcoholic beverages. If I could draw, these were amazing sweatshirts.

      Then, of course, I have to go to the bathroom, but I don't remember what happened on the way to the bathroom, just that I woke up and went to the bathroom.

      Performance Anxiety


      This was from Sunday. I'm in the bathroom and there are people in my stall waiting for me to go to the bathroom and I can't go! Which isn't really that weird because I hardly ever actually *go* to the bathroom in my dreams.

    8. Covert Ops

      12/05/2009

      Covert Ops

      I don't know how I got where I was, but I was driving and I ended up in a parking lot in front of a Circuit City. It was dark out. Kind of rainy. I parked my car in the front row where there were only a few cars in the parking lot. But I didn't go into Circuit City, I went next door to an abandoned building. I kept checking around to see if anyone was watching me. I get to the abandoned building and it's like warehouse huge inside. I look around and find a stairway leading down. I go downstairs and find it's a secret hideout... for who I don't know. All I remember seeing is a tv and someone playing video games. Then someone else tries to hand me a Nintendo DS game. It's a Mario game and I open the box to find that the cartridge is the size of a digital camera memory card. I hand it back to whoever it was that gave it to me and left.

      I am outside looking for my car and there are tons more cars in the parking lot now. It's still dark and now it's pouring down rain. I see a car that I think is mine, but the license plate isn't mine, so I keep looking. I finally find my car and get in and leave the parking lot. I feel like I'm being followed so I morph my car into a bike. So now I'm riding my bike in the rain and I'm at a stop light. I see along the sides of the road there are lasers that can detect movement. There is a cop behind me and I turn right so I can try to shake him. I hop my bike over the motion detector laser and keep riding down a dark alley. The cop follows me, then I see another cop coming at me head-on. I skid out to the right and into a hole in a chain link fence and hide behind a dumpster.

      Then someone comes up to me and congratulates me on getting away from the cops. I now feel like I'm in third person and writing this as a novel. In my head I can hear myself narrating saying something like, "what they didn't know was that I was pregnant with another man's child." Apparently I was being picked up at a check point by my "boyfriend" and his mother. Bizarre!

    9. Spanish Market, Andrea's First Lucid

      by , 09-02-2010 at 01:02 PM
      12/04/2009

      Spanish Market

      I'm logging this late, so I don't remember a whole lot about this even though it was pretty neat when I first woke up. I'm at like a tourist market looking at stuff on this table that people had for sale. I'm speaking in Spanish to a guy who's selling something that is I think a variety of drugs to enhance sex. We're laughing about them because I say something like I can't believe people believe this stuff will actually work and he says he can't either, stupid tourists! I ask him where I can find the game that has to do with the rings that I saw dangling from the power lines that were next to the road that I walked down to get to the market. He tells me to keep walking to see some other vendor in another tent.

      I get to this tent and all I see is a box of flags of different countries... but not full sized, more like that little toy that has a wound up paper on the end of a stick that you flip out and it just retracts the paper... I think it's called a Chinese yo-yo. I pull one out and unravel it and it's a flag from a combination of Canada and Spain. The other flags were made up of different combinations of countries. I remember them being very expensive.

      I kept walking and found a scene where a woman was throwing stones into a barrel outside of a house. There was a group of people watching. Something made me think that her doing this was not a good thing. It occurred to me that the more she did this, the more something bad was happening inside the house. I decided to pick up stones and throw them at the stones that she was throwing to knock them out of the way of getting into the barrel. It must not have worked because a girl came out of the door of the house covered in what I think was soup. I immediately went up to her and took her by the hand and rescued her away.

      I woke up at about 4 in the morning and went to the bathroom and decided it was too cold, so I turned up the heat. At that point, Andrea started to have trouble sleeping. I know this because at 6 she woke me up and said, "I think I just had a lucid dream!"

      Andrea's First Lucid Dream

      She's running around VCU looking for me. Then she realizes that she's barefoot. She looks down at her feet and feels that she's in grass. She can feel all the blades of grass under her feet. She remembered me saying that when I become lucid I try to look at my hands to stabilize. She could feel the excitement building and her heart racing at realizing that she was dreaming, so she went to look at her hands. She brought her hands up from her sides and she felt like they were going in slow motion. She stabilized and decided it was time to fly! So she crouched down like Neo in the Matrix and shot up into the air. She went up into the atmosphere through all the layers of the atmosphere and could feel herself going through them all. She decided she was up too high and went back down to Earth. On the way down she could see her sister and her mom. Her sister said to her that she found some sparkly shoes she wanted her to see. So Andrea jumped up onto her sister's shoulders and ran her fingers through her sister's hair. She could feel all the hair running through her fingers. So her sister took her to where the shoes were, but all Andrea saw were sparkly tank tops. She went to go look for shoes, but then she woke up. She said what woke her up was her heart-rate increasing. She said it was really an amazing experience. I'm SO excited for her!!!!

    10. Another Snake Dream, Adoption?

      by , 09-02-2010 at 12:58 PM
      12/02/2009

      Another Snake Dream

      What I remember is being in a huge field planting trees. Tons and tons of trees. Like I'm starting an arbor with some people. I keep taking these skinny baby Bradford Pear trees off a truck and bringing them to be planted two by two, with one in each hand. The next thing I know, I'm at what seems to be the house of the property I was working on. I was about to go out the back door when I notice the deck had been sealed recently and I shouldn't go out there. Right as I realize this, a woman yells at me to not go on the deck. Then I look at her, then back outside, and the sky opens up and starts to pour rain on everything. I look around the backyard and I see a HUGE moose out there. I shut the doors to the deck as fast as I can because I'm afraid the moose will get in the house.

      I must have made it to the garage somehow because that's where I end up and I'm looking for something. Instead of whatever I'm looking for, I find an angry snake. He's about half as long as I am tall and I catch him somehow and grab him by the head and shut his mouth so he won't bite me. I call for help and someone comes over and I tell him to get a shovel and cut the snake in half in the middle of him. So the guy that came to my rescue does this and then I tell him to cut the head of the snake off the top half. He does this, too. I don't remember anything after that.

      Adoption?

      I remember being in someone's garage (again?? another garage scene in the same night??) and I'm flipping through a packet of papers reading what looks like a contract. I eventually sign it and the next thing I know I have a little girl who's about eight or nine years old who's ready to go home with me. I can't remember what she looked like or anything, but I remember feeling like she was my child. (which is weird because I don't really want kids!! what's even more strange is I woke up with a Kylie Minogue song in my head: Cruise Control)

    11. Hotel Bathroom, Professor Training

      by , 09-02-2010 at 12:55 PM
      11/28/2009

      Hotel Bathroom

      I'm in a hotel room with some nondescript dream friends when they all get the idea that it's time to go to Islands of Adventure in Orlando, FL. They all start getting ready and I tell them that I'm already ready. Then at the last minute I decide that if I'm going out, I'd better shave my legs. So I go into the bathroom to actually *go* to the bathroom and I end up standing up while I'm still peeing and getting it on my foot. Then I look at the floor to see that the toilet is leaking and there is water all over the floor by the toilet and the sink and the bathtub. I must have told someone to call the front desk because someone in a french maid outfit comes in to inspect the leak. At this point, I'm in the *other* bathtub standing up shaving my legs. (In my hotel bathroom dreams, they are usually huge with multiple fixtures like this.) I'm completely naked, but I don't care that the maid is seeing my goodies. I may even be showing off a little. Then someone yells that they're leaving and I'm so mad that they're going without me.

      Professor Training

      I'm at a university somewhere and I'm talking to my Spanish professor, Dr. Sims. He's an older man with thinning grey hair and a not so small nose and glasses. I tell him I'm on my way to my office which is in this building over here, and I point it out to him. He made a joke about something the building and we part ways and I walk to my "office." I open the door to my office and it's a huge lecture hall with kids in it and a professor conducting a class. The professor looks my age.

      I walk in and look for my name on the walls above the sections of students and find it and go up to the top level of the lecture hall. I walk across a row of people and sit down to find that Dr. Sims is right behind me. We start talking, but I don't know what about. Then the professor who is teaching is explaining something about the three "C's" of something and then she dismisses class. I walk down and out of the room and find myself attending a seminar for new professors. I sit with a group of people who I've just met and one guy gets up and leaves. He comes back and presents me with a nice Cross pen and says I'm his new best friend. Then someone mentions that we have to take a physical education class "so we can be healthier than and look better than the students." I see my friend Jesse and he says he has to take some class for phys ed that he doesn't like, and I said, "what about golf? you love golf!" and he looks up and says, "yeah, I do!" then the crowd begins to disperse.

    12. 2 Sep: jumping through lucid dreams+ false awakening

      by , 09-02-2010 at 12:16 PM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING


      23:30 GMT – Sleep

      Adventure in Southeast Asia
      I am in an exotic country, like maybe India and I feel both the weather and the socio-political scene is unstable. I am staying at this colonial style house that was lent by a friend. We both live in the west and she stays away from this house for months in a row. There had been intense rains and since I was coming to here she wanted me to check if everything was ok and not flooded. It was ok, but intense raining started all over, so I could not guarantee it would stay that way.
      There’s also a lot of commotion on the streets and I decide to take the van just outside the gate of the property, ready to leave at any time, just in case something goes wrong and things heat up.
      I am also being spied on and followed and I already spotted this guy always looking over my shoulder wherever I go.


      3:40 GMT

      Some other dreamer’s house and memories?
      I am lying in bed, with my laptop and I am checking dream journals and replying to some. I found this guy who found out he is dreaming about some house for some time and he suspects it is the house of some other dreamer. I also find out I have dreamt a few times about his own house or more precisely, some surroundings around his house - it's on top of a mountain or hill and there's a road going there with a little tunnek trhought the mountain.
      I am going trough this when I hear some noise. I look around and my room isn’t really my room. I am at this big house, I don’t know of whom. I go out of the room and the noise seems to come from the kitchen which is one or 2 doors on the left. The house is rectangular, with a large hallway in the middle, crossing the house from one side to the other.
      Everything is absolutely dark but there’s some clarity coming from under the kitchen’s door. I wonder if there’s someone inside, open the door and after all it is also dark. I assume the light was some reflection, maybe from the moonlight.
      When I decide to go back to the room, I suddenly watch this scene as if hovering on a different plane/dimension: a guy is coming down the hallway from the room (just as I did), because he heard some noise in the kitchen. But unlike me, he is surprised by a room mate coming out of the kitchen. He says something like “Damn, you scared me. I didn’t know you were back tonight.” But the other guy was in an incredible bad mood and told him something in the line of “sod-off”. Then the scene fades and I continue down the hallway, back to the room.

      Then I am falling asleep in the dream, when the room door opens and I jump up with fright. This time it is my boyfriend P. and I also wonder “I thought you were not coming back tonight!” - I thought I was already awake and he was real, because in RL he was actually not sleeping at home this night.Then I really woke up amidst some confusion.

      5:00 GMT

      Messing up a palace with crumbles
      I’m sitting in an armchair of a palace, eating breakfast cereals from the package and wondering what I’m doing there. Maybe it’s from some friend’s grandparents or something. I look around and think “Hmm, maybe I should explore this place a little bit.” Then a maid appears, looks surprised to see me there doing that – not the behaviour you’d expect of someone living in a palace. I feel embarrassed of the mess I made with crumbles on the chair. I say I’m sorry and promise to clean up later, but she refuses, after all that’s her job so she just moves me away to the side and cleans up the mess. Ok, ok. I get it. I pack my cereals and move on. I am decided to explore the palace but all sorts of distractions cross my path. For example, this lady close to the entrance door wants to know if I remember if she paid the entrance or something like that. I don’t know what she’s talking, but I say I don’t remember, so she gives me money to pay... whatever.

      Mirror portal
      I am in front of the mirror above the sink in my bathroom. I realise I am dreaming and I sink my hand in the mirror. It was even more clear than usual. I decide instead of plunging there to take some liquid mirror with my hand and play with it. I drop it in the sink and try to solidify it there, but I don’t succeed, it stays liquid. Everything is getting dark and I feel I am loosing lucidity so I focus on the mirror that now transforms into a screen. For a moment I feel my face on my bed and realise I'm sleeping belly down, but manage to hold on the faint dream.
      There’s only darkness around and this screen in the middle. On the screen there is a lady in uniform asking me where do I want to go. It looks like a flight company commercial or an interactive help post at an airport. I even laugh saying to myself the lady looks a flight attendant from Lufthansa (german company). I really don’t know where to go and while I think, all sorts of images of places but also just flashlights and patterns succeed on the screen at amazing speed but also amazing clarity. Then a map of the world appears and I am asked where I want to go. Stupidly the first idea that occurs to me is Germany (because of the Lufthansa connection) and I am sucked into the screen. But I can’t hold it steady and I wake up in my bed (or so it seems).


      False awakening
      I open my eyes, I’m in my bedroom, it’s early morning. Some light already coming in. I look around feeling disappointed with the previous lucid experience. And then I realise my bedroom’s door is open. I always close it to sleep, or else the cat will bite my feet all night. I get up to close the door and check if the cat is inside or outside, but I find it all too strange. I mean, not the room, everything looks just like it should, but the door open when I am pretty sure I closed it last time I woke up and went to the toilet... I decide to reality check and I sink my hand on the wall. Great! I am still dreaming!

      Entering Nighthawk's dream
      Still in my false bedroom I face the mirror on my wardrobe and decide to continue from there. I like using mirrors as portals, so I think again where I want to go in front of the mirror: from frivolous things to really important things I decide for the frivolous, mostly because I am still training so I have to take it easy. So I decide to go visit Nighthwak. I jump in the mirror, dwell in the voidness for a while and find myself in a lab. What went wrong? But then I see him there. He looks younger and I realise it must be one of his memories, from the university. He saw me eventually and he looked interested in exploring my presence in his dream. He signalled for me to wait a little while, but when he returned it wasn’t really him anymore and I sensed I had lost the connection and was just projecting. The lab was now an open air space, so I decided to move on, since this experience was no longer working.

      Trying to escape a collapsing dream
      I am walking around in this open air space that looks more and more like a park, with ponds, little bridges over canals, suspended gardens. I am thinking about where to go next and decide I must sit and do some meditation to go back on tracks – in terms of focusing on the really important things to do. But this dream here is kind of collapsing – maybe because it wasn’t mine? The bridges started moving and now end up in the middle of nowhere in the air, two gargoyles in stone detach from this stone balcony and attack me. I feel I need to get out really fast or I will wake up. No mirror around so I think about jumping in the water of the pond. But instead of mirror-like it is now murky, I see strange creatures swimming around, crocodile-like. I don’t feel so attracted to jump on it. Now the murky waters are rising and I’m losing ground. I climb to some brick wall and decide to jump from there to the floor and hope for the best.

      End of the adventure
      It worked. As I fell on the grass, I sank and landed on some other dream. I was somewhere in the Middle East. Also in a garden. All was shining in warm colours, red and orange, really beautiful and in the end of this garden there was this beautiful and amazing mosque, also reddish. I was stunned with the scenario and thinking that I could sit there. That’s when I saw a group of angry men pointing at me, running in my direction. That’s when I realised I had landed over this kind of big stone or wall, which apparently was sacred for them, or the whole garden was and he fact I’m sitting up there it is extremely offensive to them. As they approach me and start bringing me down from where I was, I ask forgiveness but I am still smiling, commenting with them that their mosque is really something special. They think I’m crazy. Then I realize I have to jump again but they just don’t allow me to do that. I have men grabbing my arms, others grabbing my legs, I can’t move. Shit, I have to develop a method to jump without really jumping, just with thought. And I really need to build a place to go just sit, because dreams are crowded with monsters and armies and just plain distractions to get us away from our objectives.

    13. 1 Sep: Dates and attempt to lucidify dream companions

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID


      23:00 GMT – Sleep

      No dreams recalled

      1:30 GMT

      Late to a movie and cloned cat
      I’m with my cousin C. on her car on the way to the movies. It’s late evening and we’re already late. She is speeding and I don’t feel comfortable. I ask her to slow down. Then we really get too late and she ends up dropping me home, no movies.
      When I arrive home my cat is now two cats, although the same one. He/they are on top of the table in the living room. Then I notice the window is open and run to shut it – the cat might fall 3 floors if he decides to go for a walk. Then the table is also wobbly and I fear it breaks, so I just grab the cat – only one, the other copy runs away.


      2:30 GMT

      Stone house
      I am seeing this old stone house with Riverstone and Nighthawk. An old guy shows us the property. I don’t know what we’re doing there. The old man then leaves for a while and we start exploring every inch. Nighthawk opens a squeaky, mouldy wardrobe and finds a really old scrapbook. He invites me to sit down and look at it, as I always like this kind of stuff. So we sit down on a small dusty sofa and we start turning the pages. I really didn’t pay much attention to what is was inside. I was more focused on the body heat from the guy by my side, if you know what I mean. Then someone screams with a loud pitch voice through a small window just above our heads. I am cool, no reaction, but Nighthawk freaked out. He gets up abruptly and goes out grumpy. We approach him, making a bit fun of the situation but he is really not in a good mood. I really hate seeing him like that, looses all the charm, so I go out through an opposite door, leading to a terrace. I see the area around for the first time. It’s amazing. There’s a river way down there and a path at my right leading to other part of the village where we are. I then become lucid and instinctively fly down to this road to explore. I look to the sky and the landscape around and I am awed with the brightness and white light that permeates it. But then I look up again to the house, and there are the guys still on the other terrace looking now to me, maybe wondering how I got down there so fast. I realise they are not DC's but are actually sharing a dream with me so I decide not to go explore the dream but to go back and try to lucidify them both – would be awesome!
      I fly back and enter the house through the door I came out from. They are inside now. I tell them to go sit that I have something to tell them. They look curious and excited. They go out to that second terrace where I haven’t yet been. They sit at a wooden bench on this terrace. The landscape here is also breathtaking. Everything looks so damn real. For a moment I am in doubt if I am still dreaming – what if this is actually real and I say it’s a dream and they will mock me forever? So I do a reality check, just to be sure. I look at my hands. They look normal, besides being a bit more red than normal. But something goes wrong! “Oh no! I am waking up!” So, I woke up and despite my efforts, I couldn’t come back...


      Starting life over and love in the hay stack
      For some reason I am Rory from the Gilmore Girls and I fell on water with some other person. It’s night on some port and the situation is dangerous, although I never feel I am in danger. My mom Lorelai is looking for me, screaming for help, but I’m just there and I can get out of water whenever I want. I just decide not to. I think how convenient that everybody thinks I’m dead. This way I can be free and start all over somewhere else.
      So I leave myself be taken by the current to a place more down river. I get out and there’s a big storage house, with lots of big machines and I’m not Rory anymore, I’m myself. Then I see police coming. I think they are looking for me but no, there’s some other guy, a criminal, also coming to hide here. What are the chances? I try to hide but realize there’s no time and they will see me. So I decide to lead them to the guy, this way distracting their attention from me. I do so, the guy is arrested and they are so thankful, they don’t ask me any question. I lay down on some hay stack and rest for the night.
      Later on, it’s morning and I wake up with the sound of voices. There’s a group of people talking by the door and I spot Nighthawk among these people. Coming from the other dream? He comes to me, holds me, seduces me and asks me if I want to be his girl. I’m delighted and I play along. We’re all mushy mushy, I am enjoying it a lot, but then the dream transforms.


      High speed skating and a wild hog
      I find myself inside a car, in the driver’s seat. The car is parked on a steep hill and the break fails, so it starts sliding backwards. Yaics, I have to stop it but can’t find the break! I almost hit this group of people walking their dogs, but move the wheel barely missing them, until I finally break. I get out of the car and I go half-lucid. I don’t know where I am and why I went there from this other so pleasant dream, so I decide to have some fun. I put some inline skates and slide down the rest of the hill at high speed. I am having so much fun, I scream of contentment. I pass through a group of youngsters who is sitting on the floor meditating. I feel a bit bad for disturbing them and almost killing them, actually. I remember the face of one black girl in great detail.
      The hill ends at the gates of some park. I am trying to see what this park is when a girl with a wild hog on a leash passes by me. I am like “wow” and is everybody else around who is both afraid and fascinated with this scene. People gather around the girl and the wild hog at the gate and I can’t come in. Then a couple asks me if I know if the copy house in front is open or definitely closed. I have no clue but just by looking at it, it looks like it’s not open for a long time. I suggest they look somewhere else.

      Fetish with traffic
      There’s this two couples who like to make love in the traffic. So while one couple drives, the other is usually on the back seat doing it. But the police has already caught them a bunch of times so they came up with this truck with a cabin made of glass walls that you can see to outside but not to the inside and they have a bed there and all – really elaborate stuff just for this fetish thing they have. I am watching them having their way from inside this cabin they are driven along a highway and across a bridge. Weird stuff. I swear I have no fetish of this kind. It reminded me the movie Crash.

      Romantic walk becomes crappy
      I find Nighthawk again and we’re in the middle of some park. It’s already late evening. I invite him to walk with me, hand in hand and try to find a quiet comfy place to sit and nestle. The walk is being quite nice but then it starts to rain. I don’t care, it is not wetting me, it’s just dream rain. But he doesn’t believe that, he is getting soaked and gets really annoyed. Tells me he wants to leave. Oh boy. Ok, let’s go. We find his mom outside the park and they decide to go have dinner at a restaurant. The dream started to suck.

    14. Stepping back into learning to lucid dream

      by , 09-02-2010 at 10:36 AM
      My first lucid dream was about 4 to 6 years ago. I have the book Exploring the world of Lucid Dreaming and I find it quite useful. I have had fewer than 100 lucid dreams and perhaps fewer than 20, with less lucidity than I can have and they weren't very long.

      So here I sit, early in the morning before going to bed again and attempting to lucid dream again because I want to develop my lucid dreaming skills (and it's a fun and neat experience, too). Four or six years is enough time to wait until going in depth with lucid dreaming, right?

      Lucid
      Non-Lucid
      ----------
      I was in a kind of forest area with Laura, James and my Dad. We were walking on a narrow track. We stopped when we reached a short wire fence that was about waist height. Behind the fence were several black and white kittens. We worked out that there were enough kittens for every person in my family to have one with an extra kitten left over. My Dad took 5 kittens and put them in a box leaving the extra kitten behind. My brother wanted to keep the 6th Kitten but I said that he wasn't responsible enough and that I should keep it. So I went back and picked it up and decided to name her Misty. We walked back to our house (our old house in reality) where my Mum had put dinner on the table. We locked 5 cats under the stairs leaving them food, water and a bed. I kept Misty on my lap as we ate but she was scared and struggled. Eventually she escaped from me but I didn't go after her straight away. When my Dad pointed out she was gone I leapt up and started searching for her. I eventually found her on a couch in the family room (which was full of boxes and furniture for moving). I picked her up and she eventually stopped struggling and relaxed in my arms.
      ----------
      I was chasing after two girls in a busy pedestrian city. We pressed the crossing-the-road button and waited for the green man to light up. The buildings around us were impossibly tall. Soon the girls started to run yelling something at each other. They stopped waiting for the lights so that they could cross the road but just ran across. Eventually we arrived at a tall building. We entered the lobby where there were only a few people. In the middle of the room were 6 seats, back to back in groups of 3. To our left was the front desk and then some election voting booths just beside that. The girls desperately wanted to go up the stairs to see someone but they were not allowed to go. They stole 2 movie tickets off a mother and her son who were sitting in the chair, neither of them seemed to care very much. The girls then tried to go up the stairs with the tickets but the hotel manager was watching and instead they went to the election booths and pretended to package the tickets up to send to someone.

      ----------
      My other dream is fragmented:
      I was walking along a footpath and to my left, riding beside me was an extremely tall biker. She had a purple helmet. I looked up at her and saw she was eating a jar of applesauce with a spoon. I pointed it out and she just laughed, smiling sheepishly.
