      First Portal!

      I was walking past Natcoll where I study, there was a telecom store next to it and they had all sorts of awsome deals! I thought about getting one because my phone is so cheap and old but then I thought it worked good enough so I kept walking. Then me and Ash were in some wierd area not in the middle of town. It had started to rain and there was a little hut looking thing. It was only about 2 feet tall so we had to get on our hands and knees to get in. It was made of old corrigated iron and looked like some sort of fort I could have made when I was a kid. I dont know what I was looking for in there but it was a lot larger than it looked on the outside. Eventualy I came out and I realised I was dreaming. I rubbed my hands together and then called out "Koi pond portal!" and moved my hand like a mage. Suddenly a small red poral came up. It looked just like an oblivion gate but it was only about one foot tall! I lay down on the ground infront of it and placed my hand right before it and accidentaly closed my eyes! Dammit! Everything went black and then I woke up in my bed, one of my flatmates and a friend came in and I started telling them about my dream and the portal and then woke up, it was a FA!!


      Falling Apart

      I was walking down the street with Tom, Reuben and Ash. This little kid ran past me and smacked me in the head and ran off. We were all like wtf just happened!!! But kept walking not realy worrying. He came back from behind and I knew this time, I turned around and swung my arm into him so hard he went flying to the ground. He didnt move at all, we turned around and went into a bar just two shops down. Reuben grabbed a bottle of spirits and a shot glass and did a little bit of flaring and then started splashing the alky on the table in a straight line and off the edge of the table where a worker was waiting with a glass catching it all. It was very impressive! We walked back out of the bar and there were paramedics with the kid, he was still not moving. We kept going in the same direction and turned around the first corner we came to. It was getting pretty dark now. I realised I was dreaming and popped out my extra pinky finger. I called out "Koi pond portal!!" and the guys asked what I was doing. I didnt answer and the portal didnt work. I didnt say anything now but kept trying to make any sort of portal. I wasnt thinking about where it would take me, I was just trying to get one to pop up. Then Tom said hey let me try! I know he has made portals easily in his dreams so I thought it would word well. I tried and a black oval came up but quickly disappeared. I tried the hand movement he used and got a bit more luck but nothing major. Street lights aroudn us kept going out and cracks were forming along buildings and roads. I knew I didnt have much time left. I kept trying, now there was just one small part of wall that was visible, everything was black. The light on the wall grew darker and darker. A black cirlce formed in the middle of the dark wall and I grabbed and the wall and pulled myself through at the last second. I was spinning around in a black void, it felt pretty cool. I was hoping I was in space and I would spin around and see the moon and second but instead I saw my room. I saw books and paper and pens flying around the room and settling on the bed and I landed next to them. I got out of bed and then woke up, another FA!!!

    2. The Machine

      by , 08-17-2010 at 02:42 AM (Freedom Reign)
      Commentary || Lucid || Non-Lucid

      I woke up naturally around 3:15. I attempted a MILD.

      I woke up in bed. I instinctively did an RC by pinching my nose, and I could breathe through it. I remained calm, and got up slowly. Is started to blow on, and feel my hands. They felt clamy. Clarity increased. I began feeling the texture of the wooden drawer beside my bed. I lost my vision here, but I regained it by giving a "Clarity Now!" shout.

      I left my room and walked down the hallway. I reminded myself it was day outside, and sure enough, I saw light creeping through the seems of my front door. I went outside and it was dawn. I looked up at the sky, and saw the second moon I had created during my first lucid (It's my Dreamsign). I went to where the concrete driveway and grass met, and bent on my knees. I knelt about 5 inches from the ground and started to examine the concrete and grass.

      My lucidity and clarity skyrocketed and this point. I though about summoning someone and haveing sex; however, I looked back at the house and my parents were awake doing dishes (My mom had a huge afro ). I then decided I wanted to change the scene to a beach like setting.

      I asked my dream to provide me a way of doing that, and I turned the corner. Sure enough, there was a machine sitting on my porch. Quite honestly, the machine looked like a large HP printer with a digital camera on top and a door that opened in the middle of it. Oddly, it seems like I didn't get inside the door, but jumped on top of it and tried to fly with it!

      As I was in the air, my logic kicked in a little too much, and I had a fear that I was going to fall. I then pulled a:

      "By the way, did I mention this machine has wings that will let me fly?"

      The machine (or my dream) retorted:

      "You must be at least 100 ft. in the air to fly"

      So I found a ramp (I believe I flew off the ramp in the first place) and placed it against a fence. I was going to get momentum and take off.


      I woke up here. It was bout 4:50.

    3. 08/15/10 Death: The King of the Vampires

      by , 08-17-2010 at 02:39 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      I had said something about checking back on MoSh to see if he wanted to go on an adventure, but I figured I could accomplished another task of the month for Mortal Mist in the process. I would go through a mirror to get back to the biodome!

      So with the goal of going through a mirror to get back into the biodome, and thus back to MoSh, I summoned a mirror right in front of Pablo and myself. The mirror was a full body mirror, oval in shape, and it was sitting up off of the ground on a stand. It would easily make a large enough portal for Pablo and me to go through. I am not very familiar with using mirrors for travel, so I tried a couple of times… I tried touching the mirror… it was solid. I then focused on making the surface of the mirror fluid, picturing it as if it weren't solid but instead was the perfectly still surface of a pool of water, so when it was touched it would ripple. I visualized that clearly in my mind and then reached out and touched the mirror again. I got the ripples I was looking for. So now I just had to set the destination. I focused on the portal leading to the hot springs in the biodome. As I was focusing, the mirror changed from a still reflective surface to an actual portal in the mirror… I thought that looked really cool, a wormhole starting at the mirror… so I picked up the Pablo fox, held him close against my body so we wouldn't possibly get separated, and stepped through the mirror into the wormhole.

      The ride through the wormhole was a rather wild one, like going on a really intense roller coaster… only much faster than any roller coaster I have ever experienced. The wormhole seemed awfully long considering that the distance between the surface of the moon and the biodome isn't that far… It seemed to me that in that case it was senseless to use a wormhole since it seemed to be taking much longer than just teleporting there or using a normal portal. But whatever, I wasn't in a huge hurry, and the ride was rather fun… or at least I thought it was fun… the fox in my arms looked a little nauseated… and then we finally came out the other side of the portal… and fell down over a desert, I landed on the back of a horse… wtf? I was on Stardust's back, Pablo was clinging to me, no doubt as surprised by this turn of events as I was. I looked around and saw I wasn't alone, Nomad was with us… so was Angel… and MoSh… and Altaïr… Spike… they were also riding horses… and we were being chased by Templars also on horses… what the hell was going on here? I had set a portal to go to the biodome and now I was here…

      Ok, while I wasn't sure what was going on or how I had ended up here, it was pretty clear that I would have to fight the Templars… I rode over closer to MoSh and asked him what was going on, had Nomad found him in the biodome? Were Asuka and the kids ok? He gave me a strange look, but I didn't have time to think about that, Templars were shooting arrows at us. I moved away from MoSh and started throwing fireballs at the Templars. Nomad was throwing white blasts of energy, MoSh was throwing what looked like small daggers that were sparking with a green light… We were doing that, then suddenly Angel jumped from her horse, pulled out a couple of short swords, and proceeded to hop from horse to horse, killing the Templar on the back of each horse before moving on. She soon got back to the rest of us and got back on her horse, which had continued running the whole time. I used Battery and called down lightning to strike as many Templars as possible, taking them out while leaving their mounts unharmed. I didn't want to hurt the horses… We rode farther across the desert until we came to an enormous sink hole… we got off our horses to investigate. The horses were getting fatigued, well Stardust wasn't, but the others just had normal horses… I looked and saw the Templars' horses had continued following us even though they had no riders. I focused on teleporting them… not sure where, but I could see that it had lots of green grass and plentiful water… it looked like paradise for horses. All of the horses disappeared, including Stardust.

      Nomad was looking down into the sinkhole with obvious interest, he said he wanted to jump in it. I asked why, pointing out we had no idea where it might lead, he said it didn't matter since we were dreaming and could not be hurt. I felt movement under my Assassin's robes, which I was finally able to take the time to notice I had the Assassin's robes on, and I realized Pablo had burrowed down under the robes to where he apparently felt safe… or as safe as possible. All of the others were dressed in Assassin's robes, too. Altaïr commented that not all of them were dreamers, Angel, Spike, and himself were not dreaming… but at the same time he didn't really have any objections to exploring someplace new… he did that all the time. What's the worst that could happen? MoSh said death, Altaïr said no, death is not the worst thing that can happen, some things are much worse than death. Spike said he couldn't die since he was already dead. Nomad had already made up his mind and jumped into the sinkhole, I figured I had better follow him, and everyone else apparently decided to follow the both of us.

      The sand was flowing through a hole at the bottom and into a cave underneath, I grabbed onto a ledge with a tendril of Witchblade… and felt claws digging into my stomach as Pablo grabbed onto me with his claws… then some weight hanging off of me as Altaïr had grabbed hold of me… Spike flew over the hole in the ground and landed on solid ground at the opening of a cave. Altaïr jumped to that ledge and also climbed out, Angel floated over there, Nomad and MoSh both flew over and Witchblade pulled me up with the tendril. So now we were all in the entrance of a cave watching sand fall past us just outside the cave… it seemed the sand must eventually stop, there couldn't be an infinite amount of sand… but the only way for us to go was forward.

      I took a couple minutes to disengage Pablo's claws from my stomach… ow… and then I set the fox down, he immediately changed into a state that was half human and half fox, looking something like Fox McCloud from the Starfox games. He looked over at me and said he was sorry about the thing with the claws, it had just been an instinctive reaction, I told him not to worry about it as I quickly healed the stinging cuts in my stomach. So the group of us started walking down the passage, through the dark caves, we couldn't see much. We groped along a bit longer, I heard Angel up ahead saying something was hers… it sounded like Gollum talking about the ring of doom, I almost expected her to demand someone give her back her precious. Wtf? I also heard Nomad curse… something was going on around us, I needed to see what. I adjusted my eyesight to see in the dark… I did that a bit too soon, because a blindingly bright light extended from Nomad as he tried to light the area, I couldn't see anything! I heard a commotion all around us, sounded like a lot of bats, he had probably stirred up some sleeping bats… way to go… I finally got my sight back, and the bats weren't running for a darker part of the cave, they were viciously attacking us… scratching and biting… something was odd about their energy. Their energy was off because they weren't typical bats, they were vampire bats… and I don't mean the kind of bat that drinks a small amount of blood and moves on, I meant the type of bat some types of vampire are able to transform into… Nomad formed a shield around all of us just as I was about to use Enter Sandman, I told him to drop it long enough to do the spell… he looked at me strangely, then dropped it, and I activated the spell… the whirlwind of dark and light energy pulled a lot of the bats into it, burning them as it did, and the others headed off in different directions through small passages in the cave.

      So now all of us were in the cave alone, we were actually in a small chamber rather than just another extent of cave, and there were many exits from the chamber. The only problem was that most of the exits were much too small for us to fit through, at least too small to fit through in our current forms. Someone asked what had been with those bats… I said those weren't bats, they were vampires, we had somehow wandered into a vampire lair. There were four passages that we were able to fit through. One of those was where we had come from, the other three were new and unexplored. MoSh and Spike went left, Nomad and Angel went right, Altaïr, Pablo, and I went straight. We traveled for a short distance before emerging into a huge chamber, there were platforms hanging precariously over molten magma, it looked like it was a volcano… if it erupted, those platforms were history… but for now it looked like a bad platformer game. There was a man on the highest platform, he was dressed in a dark cloak and completely covered, he was mouthing off about how we had made a big mistake to disturb him… but he had been expecting us.

      This is the first time I really noticed that I was alone… Pablo and Altaïr were gone, probably they sensed the hostility in this creature just as I did, and they were getting into a good position to respond to an attack. I saw Nomad and Angel emerge from a cave and onto a platform to my right, Spike and MoSh emerged on my left… all roads lead to this hell hole… The cloaked figure turned around and faced us, he seemed to be looking mostly at me since I was in the middle, and he said he was assuming we had come to get our friend back… he indicated a cage hanging over the tallest platform, there was a man in the cage who looked an awful lot like Spike… but that was impossible, Spike was right here… I looked to my left to reassure myself Spike was still there with MoSh, which he was. I figured the one in the cage must be a twinner… The cloaked figure continued to say he would be glad to let our friend go, after we defeated him. So it was going to be a fight! His loss… or very soon it would be his loss… Nomad wanted to know who the fuck he was, and he just said he was known as Death.

      So the fight started then, Death appeared to be made entirely of bats… he grew in size and then released a cloud of bats from his cloak, more bats than could possibly have fit in that cloak, and they all attacked us. I used Enter Sandman again, creating another whirlwind to destroy the bats closest to us… and then they all turned back to their master, re-joining him. I saw Altaïr and Pablo were right behind Death, each of them had a hidden blade stuck into Death's back… He was pissed and in pain, trying to reach back for them, but not getting anywhere… Now everyone there combined out attacks. MoSh was a naga, breathing green flames on the asshole right as Pablo and Altaïr jumped clear… Angel fired a white arrow, Nomad threw something that looked like a spear, Spike popped up right in front of him, which clearly caused him quite a surprise to see Spike healthy and free, and sucked the energy out of him… and then he collapsed and turned to dust. As the dust blew away I could hear Death's voice saying he would never die… for Death is immortal.

      I flew over to the cage that the other Spike was in and forced the lock open, then I flew in and landed beside Spike, he looked horrible. He was battered and beaten horribly, parts of his flesh were hanging off in loose chunks… yuck… he looked deader than undead… I got beside him and spoke his name, he weakly looked up at me and managed a small smile. He called me Buffy, and said he knew I would come… the Vampire King had said I wouldn't, he had said no one would care what happened, but he had known all along that I would come. I didn't see the point in arguing that I wasn't Buffy… he needed blood, that much was clear, and a lot more healing than that could do… I commented to Spike that he needed to feed, he said nah… he wasn't hungry… he was being sarcastic… I told him to bite me, and take some of my blood. He said no, with the state he was in he wasn't certain he could stop himself before he took too much. I told him not to worry about that, it was complicated and I would explain later, but I wasn't the Buffy he knows, and there is no way he can kill me here. He looked at me blankly. I repeated to him to not be stubborn, to go ahead and bite me, dammit, and drink some of my blood. He finally did. If I had been a normal human, I think it probably would have killed me… but I also think he could have stopped. He paused a time or two to check on me, and only took more when he realized it had not had any ill effect on me. He finally stopped, he looked some better, but he was still in desperate need of healing. Everyone was there with me now, and I opened a portal to the healing glen…

      On the other side we were in the healing glen, I heard the sound of the Crystal Golem approaching, shaking the ground as he approached. He wouldn't be sneaking up on anyone… I called out to him that we'd been in a big fight, and needed his healing! Nomad prepared his weapon… um… why was he going to threaten the Crystal Golem? I told Nomad there was no need to fight here… I thought maybe he had lost lucidity. The Crystal Golem said he would heal Spike… He applied some herbs, did some energy work, and then he and Nomad headed off to do something… I think for some reason Nomad wanted to fight the Crystal Golem… whatever. I stayed with Spike and contributed my healing energy to his recovery.

    4. Mysterious Attack, Camp Trip, and Blind Fight

      by , 08-17-2010 at 02:23 AM (Freedom Reign)
      Commentary || Lucid || Non-Lucid
      I went to bed at about 11:30. Set me alarm to wake up at 5. Go figure, I woke up at 4:50. I went to sleep and recalled two dreams.
      Dream 1

      I was teaching this girl how to fight. She had an attack which required to be charged up. When she finally released it, the Earl (from the anime D.Gray Man) was gone. There something about here attack that resembled an octopus that I didn't recall.

      Dream 2

      I was staying at some hotel at some camp. I was staying with my brother, and we hung out at the pool several times. I recalled some events about a car (My Aunt's? Maybe some Dream Residue here because she visited my that day). It was red with a red/black custom interior. We were then in a library. This black guy sprayed some spray (pepper spray?) at my face. I got mad. My face felt warm and I couldn't see. I started swinging at the guy. After I was finished, I saw I had beat the crap out of him. I avoided him for the rest of the trip.

    5. 08/15/10 Storm of Light

      by , 08-17-2010 at 12:14 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      I finally decided that just outside the biodome, on the moon itself, would be a good place for a storm, so that's where I headed…

      So I carried Pablo a bit farther through the biodome and then I leaned over and set him down. He gave me a look that said he really didn't want me to leave him behind, so I told him where I was going and what I was going to do, and if he wanted to come watch the show, that was fine with me. He jumped back into my arms, so I took that as an obvious 'yes' to going with me. I opened a portal and went through it to the surface of the moon. I didn't see anything around, just the gray surface of the moon, and the earth was hanging in the sky like a very colorful moon. I set Pablo down on the moon surface and decided to get busy with the thunder storm.

      So now I focused on the song Battery. That summoned a bolt of lightning from the sky. Since there weren't multiple targets, however, there was only one large bolt of lightning. One bolt of lightning does not a thunder storm make… So I focused on Battery again, this time I focused on going through the entire song which is something I haven't had to do for a long time… I no longer need the song to do a bolt of lightning. So as the song played through, the moonscape was filled with many bolts of lightning. The sky was lit up with all of the electrical flashes. I know that in space there would not actually be any sound, but I could hear the thunder roll across the landscape. The thunder started rolling across the landscape in time to the music, it made quite an interesting light show in my opinion. And there was a red fox beside me watching the whole thing.

      After the song ended, the lightning faded away and clouds that had somehow formed over the moon also dispersed into the nothingness of space. I stood there looking into the sky, gazing into the stars that seemed to go on forever, and I took a deep breath of the non-air of the non-atmosphere of the moon… The fox beside me decided he'd had enough of being ignored and he jumped back into my arms. I stood there and stroked the fox for a bit longer, then I felt the dream slipping away… time for a time dilation. I used Allura's form of time dilation and stabilized the dream. I had said something about checking back on MoSh to see if he wanted to go on an adventure, but I figured I could accomplished another task of the month for Mortal Mist in the process. I would go through a mirror to get back to the biodome!

    6. CAT Day 1 - Waking and a dream

      by , 08-16-2010 at 11:13 PM
      So I didn't manage to get up completely. The alarm went off at about 6:30am, and I kind of lay there waking and falling asleep on and off for the next 50 minutes or so. Still got out of bed (7:20am) an hour earlier than usual, so it's a start.

      Before I woke up I dreamed as well:

      Dan and I were in Sydney having drinks at The Oaks with Shea. We were drinking this big green cocktails. I kept ordering more. I wasn't talking. I got up and ordered another drink, the guy went and got me a drink.

      I sat back down with the guys, who proceeeded to ignore me. Sitting near us was a girl from High School that I never talked to (I guess she was in the dream because I read a Facebook status from her yesterday), I said hi, asked her how she was.

      The three of us left. We went through some underground arcade looking for something to eat. There was a weird McDonalds cafe with gaming computers and this place that made roasts. Shea looked at the menu-sign thing and said, "Oh look, Chris they do vegan roasts as well."

      I looked at the sign but couldn't see what she was showing me.

      We walked on, walked past shops and stuff and through a garden like thing. They were talking and laughing, with their arms linked, so I had to get out of there. I walked off into the bush and followed a dirt track that wound around a stream. There were some rocks that crossed the stream, so I sat down to watch the water, and relax.

      When I got up I knew that the other two had walked past and were looking for me. I walked, and the area I walked towards looked like my old High School.

      I walked back the way I had come, trying to get back to a place I knew. I had to climb a ladder, and I climbed up past a house. I could see another house beyond that. I couldn't squeeze through where the ladder ended and a big tree branch was.

      I heard someone call out, "If you like climbing ladders, I've got something fun for you."

      And there was a ladder that went onto a garage/shed roof.

      I got home and was thinking, "Damnit. My mind is blank, I can't remember any dreams."

    7. 08/15/10 The Cleansing Waters

      by , 08-16-2010 at 11:13 PM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Note: My recall lately has been sucking, but last night it took a rocket ship right out of this world, straight to epic! My plans were simple enough… first to go pick up MoSh, Asuka, and the kids to take them to the healing hot springs in the biodome on the moon, and then to maybe complete a task from the list of tasks of the month from Mortal Mist which include a basic task of summoning a large thunder storm, an intermediate task of stepping through a mirror, and an advanced task of multiplying or cloning one's self. So I used my light / sound machine and slipped into a WILD that turned out to be much more epic than I expected. I will be breaking it into a few parts here…

      Since my first goal was to fetch MoSh and his family, I appeared in the usual place within MoSh's inner world that I always appear. I went to the door and knocked on it, Asuka came to the door and said MoSh was just about to arrive into a deep dream state. She said she would get the kids and be ready to go, I could help myself to some cookies in the mean time. I saw a plate of steaming cookies on the table in the living room. I reached for a cookie, but before I could take one, a big black dog ate them all, seemed to grin at me, and then left the room. Soon Asuka returned with MoSh and the kids. Asuka looked at the empty cookie plate and commented that I must have been hungry, I was going to say I hadn't even eaten one, but everyone was in a hurry to go, so we left. I opened a portal back to the biodome, and entered the place near the koi pond.

      When I got to the koi pond I saw there was someone there. It was a man, and he was looking into the koi pond, watching the fish, and I wondered if he was one of the people I had suggested meet me there. I went over to him and tried to get his attention. I told him I was Raven, asked who he was, but he didn't seem very lucid at all. He just stared into the water at the colorful fish, finally he made a comment as to how pretty they were, and then he looked at me with a blank look in his eyes. He asked me if I had ever seen the fish fly so beautifully… um… I said they aren't flying, they're swimming, but he still looked out of it. He looked back at the fish… he had dark hair that came to about the base of his neck, was wearing jeans and a solid black t-shirt, he had a pendant around his neck that was silver and had some blue gems set in it… I couldn't see it very well, though… then he disappeared.

      So now I went with MoSh and the others down the path to the hot springs, where Asuka climbed slowly in, a small amount of dirty brown stuff washed off of her… and quickly dispersed into the water. MoSh did a graceless cannonball, soaking everyone in the vicinity, including me… I considered getting into the water, but then I stopped myself… I didn't want to do that, I had too much dark energy in me now, and I figured getting in there now wouldn't be of any benefit as it would take some of my energy away and put unnecessary contamination into the water. So I watched MoSh and Asuka in the water along with the kids. The kids were playing around and having fun, MoSh and Asuka were sitting close together on the other side of the spring. MoSh waved to me to come on it, the water is great, I commented to him about why I wasn't going to do that, and added that I had some other goals I wanted to accomplish. MoSh said if I needed help he could go with me after he spent a while in the spring. I said I was going to complete a task of the month for Mortal Mist first, but I could come back and maybe pick him up later.

      I turned to walk away from the spring and was almost knocked back into the water by a ball of excited fur jumping into my arms. I kept my balance and realized the ball of fur was a cute fox, it was no doubt Pablo, showing up in his fox form yet again. Cute! So as I pondered where it would be safe to create a massive thunder storm I walked through the biodome and petted Pablo as I went, scratching him behind his ears to hear him purr. I finally decided that just outside the biodome, on the moon itself, would be a good place for a storm, so that's where I headed…

    8. A City!

      by , 08-16-2010 at 09:39 PM
      Today, after a whole week have I been able to get lucid. Normally, my LD would consist of me being inside or around some quiet area, but today when I opened up that dream door. It was a whole city as bright as Manhattan, and Tokyo combined, right before my eyes! Amazing! But I did spend a decent amount of time before I "woke up". I thought I woke up, but I was still LDing, but then I woke up for reals. Fun fun fun.

    9. Fragment only

      by , 08-16-2010 at 09:25 PM (My Official Journey Into Lucid Dreaming)
      Having trouble sleeping, which may account for my sporadic dream recall.

      Two dream fragments. One from last night, and the other from the night before.

      1. I am at work or something. Something has happened. My boss tells me I'm getting a pay cut, along with others. We have to make ends meet....

      2. I have no idea where I am, there are loud noises and people running and shouting. Everyone is drenched with water, and you can see through their clothes to their underwear. I can't tell if everyone is happy or upset...

    10. Trying to impress an athlete and riding a scary coaster.

      by , 08-16-2010 at 09:24 PM (Visions of the night)
      8/16/10

      I had a dream I was by a running track.. like ones that athletes use. I saw a famous athlete by the name of Ochocinco ( must have incorporated him in my dream after watching his show last night ). He was doing stretches along with some other people who were exercising and training.
      I found myself trying to impress him so I attempted to do some back and front flips.. what was funny I don't know how to do those flips in real life and in my dream I knew I was not able too.. but I told myself I am going to do it...
      So there I was walking pass ochocino.. he saw me looking at him and I bit my lip in a flirtatious way he was very tall..lol
      So I walk pass and he glances at me smiling but continues on with his training as well as calling someone else over to him. I go on the opposite side of the fence and start doing stretches.. and I try to flip...
      ..what was funny is I found myself padding the pavement like a running dog.. but I was so determined to control my dream to flip.. I failed several times because it appeared as if I was on all fours hopping forward.. I was scared to flip.. but I told myself " I can do this!.." I run forward and ocho is passing by .. he pauses and I run forward and flip multiple times!!... lmao!! yes I did it and I felt the rush of happiness come over me.. it was not so much of ocho watching me but actually doing the flips!! ha!... he tells his friend.. oh you like that?..
      Scene switches to a train station and ocho is there with his friend.. I was standing with them talking and flirting a bit.. but here is where something weird happen... I was talking to him.. but find myself not the girl talking to him.. weird.. it appears I switch roles and I am a different girl... hmmm..weird.
      I had a huge tattoo on my right side.. went from my stomach to my thigh and I was showing it off ..
      Scene switches and I get on this roller coaster ride.. it is dark out and I get right in it.
      When it begins I notice the track the cart was on was a bit old and unstable.. the tracks were going very high and I barely was able to breathe when it would drop down.. the cart would slam onto some tree branches and I had to cover my face with my arms to prevent getting hurt by them..
      ..I got off the ride and told others to be careful .. that the ride was old and someone could get hurt.. people thanked me and didn't bother getting on...
      Scene switches and I am on the phone with a friend who called me to go to the club with him... I couldnt remember most of the conversation but I remember looking at a huge lake and my house was on the other side of it.. I was wondering how I would get across... I saw this old train track and I figured I can skill across it and get home.. I get on this track and once again wondering why the hell I decided to get on it in the first place.. it is shaking underneath me waving with each step and I couldn't go backwards because I was just to far out on the track. There is movement under the water.. light grey creatures barely breaking the surface and I got nervous again.. I began to talk on the phone as a guide to take my mind off this journey.. even inquired about another friend who in real life I lost touch with..
      ..I finally get home and prepare for this party... my dad is in the living room asking me where I was going.. it was night time

      That is all I could remember for I was awaken..
    11. First Post

      Yesterday I decided to learn how to lucid dream, so here's my first attempt at simply remembering my dreams. I'm actually surprised about how much I remembered, but I suppose it was because i was writing on a notepad through the night. I'm obviously no where near lucid dreaming, but here we go.

      Falling asleep was really weird for me last night. I'd get very vivid images in my head before I was entirely asleep and I'd write some of them down, but others I'd just keep falling deeper into sleep, then a couple times I got those jerks that feel like you're falling. I know that has a name, but I can't think of what it is.

      Here's a few dreams and fragments:
      A drawn face that looked like the mad tv kid, on the front of an oregon trail style wagon.
      Walking down a sidewalk on a very bright day, grass on both sides, that seemed to stretch forward forever.
      I was on a boat, for some reason I think it was the titanic, with two people from when I was younger. One boy I was friends with when I was 15, and a girl that I went to kindergarten with and see on the bus, but never talk to. It was dark, except for a strong yellow light, almost like a light on a set.
      My sixteen year old sister announced that she is legally able to drink alcohol. We had a lot of beer in the my parent's kitchen, and they were asleep. I thought, "ew, lager." she was chugging and i grabbed a bright yellow beer with the word lemon on it. I spilled it by the kitchen door, which was open.
      I saw cartoon mice very briefly, reminiscent of old school disney.

      This was the doozy for the night-
      I dreamed I was visiting my aunt in Tacoma (who actually lives in Puyallup). My two sisters kept shifting- one minute I was with my 10 year old sister, next she was my 16 year old sister. We were trying to find something to do to pass time. We decided to go to a place called Tacoma Land, which was apparently a bunch of roller coasters over a swamp. Shift to my best friend's apt. It doesn't look anything like her actual place- it is carpeted and decorated with lots of mirrors, and is very clean. We're throwing a party, but I don't see anyone except my two best friends. The skunk that is always outside her place was wandering through the halls- it looked more like a black persian cat than a skunk but it was spraying like crazy. I'm at the table with my mom and a boy I went to high school with who made fun of me. My mom is drunk and he is being nice to me. Everyone except for him and myself went to another party downstairs. He says he thinks I'm cool, but that my mom is a profanity that i don't remember. i think he said bitch, maybe? I went behind a bunk bed to a random toilet to go to the bathroom. There's pee on the floor, and a girl tries to walk over, I tell her to leave, I'm using the bathroom. She was wearing navy blue clothes of a canvas-y material and either has short hair or it is in a ponytail. She is completely silent, and I think that she is a mime. I dodge the skunk and go to my own apartment upstairs. It's furnished similar to a hotel and I think that it was nice of the apartment manager to furnish it for me. I walk to my bedroom and there is a sliding door with a patio. I see tibetan prayer flags and walk outside. The grass is dead, and my yard has a perimeter of flags. These are triangular, not prayer flags, but they are the same color. There are a lot of neighbors outside the perimeter and they look, for lack of a better word, like hicks. I stand near them and stare but don't say anything and they don't say anything back. I try to pet one of their many dogs, but it walks away. I try to walk inside, but suddenly the neighbors are angry and chase me inside, the leader looked like annette benning. They trash my place, and open my mini fridge, which has lots of food, but the only thing i recognize is hummus. She is yelling at me for not introducing myself, she wraps her hand around my neck and puts me into a trance- i remember seeing a piece of paper explaining exactly what was happening to me, but I don't remember what it said except there was a pencil drawing of someone being choked. She jammed her leg between my legs and i fell to the ground and woke up.

    12. I dreamed I was a female Robin Hood

      by , 08-16-2010 at 08:09 PM
      I took a stand to Harpers and Flattery's governments and started being a 21st century female Robin Hood robbing or "borrowing from those who could afford it" from the rich to give to the poor people. The two goverments didn't have a clue what hit them and a number of questions 1) "Why and How are the poor, homeless, people getting homes?" 2) "Why are there less crimes than there were (not counting unreported crimes)?" They even tried to make me an outlaw but the Queen stopped them. Beside I was already a wiz at hiding in the trees.

      I'm actually kind of glad I didn't go lucid last night. I probably would have done something other than go through this totally awesome dream I had. It was super vivid and realistic...I seriously felt like I was there. And honestly, I might have been just a tad bit aware that I was dreaming, due to the car thing...but I'll just tell you what happened now.

      It was a pretty normal day...to begin with. I had one of my video jobs to do that day, and it required a team of people driving from place to place all day long. We had it all organized and figured out, though, so it wasn't stressful or anything; just another thing to have to do for the day.

      The first three film locations were easy and went smoothly. I got all the footage I needed, and everybody did what they were supposed to and did it well. We stopped back at the hotel we were staying in for lunch and planned out the remainder of the day--still normal. But when we were about to leave again, I went to the bathroom and on my way out discovered that everyone had left without me! I gathered up all my equipment as fast as possible and tried to run after the car, but they were already way too far off to hear me call, and it was impossible to run while carrying all that stuff.

      Fortunately, a friend was driving by just then and he stopped to ask if I needed a ride. I got in his car (which was unnaturally small, and which I observed without gaining full lucidity, if any) and he took me where I needed to go. However, once at this final location, things would go anything but as planned...

      I caught up with my team by nightfall. They were gathered in a dark alley, all of them evidently very scared.

      "What the heck was that!?" I shouted. "Why did you guys just leave me back there with all the..."

      "SHHH!!!" They all replied desperately.

      Then I saw what their problem was. A few feet away from me, out of the pitch blackness, a light turned on, and I heard the familiar sound of a Geth. Within moments, a million other similar lights turned on all around us, the same sound of communication echoed through the walls, and we knew we'd be dead in a few moments if we didn't get the heck out of there.

      "Hey! In here!" I heard one of my team members shout.

      We all turned around to see him at an elevator on the outside of one of the buildings. We got in as fast as was possible and rode it to the top floor, hoping to escape. But on our way up, we heard the chilling roar of a zombie, and soon witnessed several jumping down onto the glass roof of the elevator. Fortunately they were not too bright, and when they collided with it, they simply were thrown off from impact...but there were more where they came from.

      We got to the roof and instantly looked for a door to get us inside and away from harm. We found one, but halfway there, I stopped everyone.

      "No." I said. "We have to finish this!"

      I clamped together the tripod legs on the camera I was carrying and tightened the camera itself so that it wouldn't budge from its position. It was a metal camera, and I figured it would make a great club.

      "We can take them."

      My friends got the point and hurriedly threw together some makeshift weapons. Then we waited. Before long, zombies and Geth and headcrabs and other such creatures began climbing up the side of the building and trying to attack us. With a loud war cry, I swung the camera and tripod through the air, doing a spin move, and landed the camera right on the head of a zombie. It was thrown back over the side of the building and burst into pieces when it hit the ground (it was probably an 80-story fall).

      It was a huge battle. We had to stop each and every creature from climbing onto the roof, or if they made it all the way up, we had to knock them off the edge immediately. My group and I were doing well, but it was only a few of us against millions of them. Even with my camera-club (which was by far the best weapon we had) and crazy attack moves we were slowly being pushed back.

      I hurled my whole body against an oncoming zombie and threw him over the edge. The effort made me stumble and land on my knees right on the edge of the building just as another zombie was reaching up to pull himself to the top. I remember his face...skin totally white and rotted from death. His hands and arms had no skin left, just a bloody mess of muscles and bones. As I sat and watched this monster approach me, I thought for sure he would grab me and throw me over the edge before I would have a chance to do anything about it. And then...

      The Indiana Jones theme began to play as the man himself burst out of the door behind us and start pulling off awesome moves with his whip and gun. Shortly after that, Lara Croft, Luke Skywalker, and Jake Sully (in his Avatar) showed up, too! We had a chance now, and with my renewed hope, I grabbed the face of the zombie with my bare left hand, ignoring how disgusting it was, and then bashed it in with the butt of my tripod. The creature screamed and then fell, defeated.

      After that, the fight was an easy victory. The last thing I remember is peering over the edge and looking at all the bodies in piles below...

      and then I woke up. But here's a funny little sidenote: all the moves I did in the dream with the tripod I can now do IRL! Hmm...
    14. Aug 16 2010 - School

      by , 08-16-2010 at 07:03 PM (Mah Journal)
      I started off at AN. St. I was apparently going to school with KY and V. It was a snowy day, and we had just gotten off the bus. We decided to detour a bit so that we could miss a little bit of class.

      When we got there, I was sitting beside KY on some wood-edged floor. Below me there seemed to be a marshy sort of creek. I was reading a book about ancient Egypt, and looking at all the pictures of the drawings. I saw some indents on the pages too, as if I had attempted to draw something but tried to erase it. Then, we looked out the window in front of us, where it was snowing, and we saw V leading two or three kids who were apparently his little siblings. I thought that he must have used that as an excuse to leave school.

      Then I was with my friends in some sort of ballet studio. There was supposed to be a show, but I had never done this before, and no one had told me what to do. They told me to pick out a costume, and I thought about being a flower, but they said that I would just have to stand there and do nothing the whole time. I didn't want to do that. I also decided that I would use my black tutu and a purple top with white or black leggings.

      I asked MA if she could tell me what to do in terms of the dance, and she started reciting the dance to me. Then there was one step where I was sitting and had to jump up with my hands in the air, but I couldn't do it. I told her that, and she seemed to get angry. She told me I couldn't do it.

      The last part of my dream, I remember briefly being in a playground with my friends.

    15. A somewhat lucid dream- then either a false awakening or terrible sleep paralysis

      by , 08-16-2010 at 06:17 PM
      I was helping my family with cleaning. My dad was sitting in a golf cart and my stepsister was on a hill hosing down a wagon. She fliped the wagon and water flowed into the golfcart with my dad in it. Somehow.... my dad got out but the golf cart caught fire. The golfcart ended up on an interstate not pulled over... and turned into a car. I realized i was dreaming. it WAS NOT physical this time... and I woke up... maybe.

      I could not move. I saw a little girl standing on the side of the bed that appeared to be a demon. I knew i was either in sleep paralysis or dreaming. I began to move a little bit and did a reality check by plugging my nose and trying to breathe in. I could still breathe. I began to try to wake up again... and after about 5 minutes of terrified struggling... i was awake for real.
