    1. 20.03.08, Strange metallic structures

      by , 08-03-2010 at 08:43 PM (Dreams of the Maeniac)
      [B]#4[/B]
      [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I'm around the blocks where I live, destroying boxes like you do in Crash Bandicoot and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger so that I can pick up the items inside. The items are much like very small versions of the opals you get in Ty, and there are many more, they zoom towards me when I go near, like in games. I use these as currency to build a small metallic structure that is on the ground. It is currently made up of three parts which are all grey and look organic, with very smooth shapes. A DC is nearby, perhaps helping me with the structure. A girl with companions comes around and mocks our contraption. I build a little more, but the girl comes again. I meet an old classmate, J, who stands on the sidewalk by the entrance to one of the blocks, he's holding a skipping rope. He might also have been wearing girl clothes / costume.
      He starts hitting me with the rope, I dodge a few times, and after one swing, I take the chance and dive into him, grab his hair, but I quickly realize that its part of his costume, so I let go again. We fight for a bit and end up further away from the entrance. I now have his fake hair in my hand and I flail it at him, trying to hit his face. He scores a hit in my face with one hand, and grabs one of my testicles with the other, he squeezes it and I[/COLOR] wake up and it still hurts for a few seconds...

    2. Sex. And teleporters.

      by , 08-03-2010 at 08:41 PM
      Hardly remembered - remember having sex with this girl. Then later I was trying to get to my friend Suzie's house, and there were these complex teleporters that i couldn't get the hang of. the environment reminded me of Second Life, or MineCraft.

    3. 3 old, half remembered dreams.

      by , 08-03-2010 at 08:27 PM (Dreams of the Maeniac)
      [B]1. Undated, quite old.[/B]
      [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I'm in some park-like place. An open spot with grass and trees around it. I grab a branch from a tree. With the branch, I am able to swing up and grab hold of another, higher up branch. At the end, I have a branch that swings me around as if I was wearing a pilotable parachute. My old teacher tells me I shouldn't do it, it's too dangerous.
      [/COLOR]
      [B]2. Undated, quite old[/B]; after watching The Dark Knight, I was really fascinated by the Joker, so that's the cause of the Jokerfication of my dreams.
      [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I'm in a big store, they sell DVDs, there's a whole bunch of posters with the Joker on them. People are dressed up as the Joker, too. Want to buy The Dark Knight.
      A little girl aged around 2 to 4 in a pink [URL="http://www.ifocus.dk/nyheder/04-10-07/Reima-T-Pige-flyverdragt-m.jpg"][missing word][/URL] pokes me on the shoulder (How she does this, you ask?) She says, roughly translated "You may" / "You can" / "You're allowed to", something like that. ([I]Du må godt.[/I])
      She points to the exit, she ants me to go somewhere. I follow her to some trees and bushes. There's an army of cats, she wants me to read some little piece of paper on the ground where the cats were. It says something stupid, something starting with G but making no sense.
      I take the girl up on my shoulders and carry her back. Walk the wrong way at first... "Y'know, this is really weird... Because... (Exhausted) I don't... Usually do this"
      Walk back around and find the right way. Meet K on the way, I put the girl down when I get into the store. Felt weird but made me feel sort of proud...
      [/COLOR]
      [B]3. Undated[/B]; again with the Joker...
      [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I'm in a place that looks like a bank from a movie. The color themes are something like dark wood and gold everywhere. First I fistfight some guards or whatever, then I get a shotgun and have an epic shootout "scene" where I kill a few of them. I hide behind a counter while fighting another guy with a shotgun.
      I'm fighting a guy and a lady with katanas. We move up on a table and fight there. The whole thing is very movie-like, and I'm the villain. I cut the lady and grab her from behind, using her as a shield from the guy. The two are lovers. I tell the guy he has to choose between me killing the lady, or him killing us both. He tries to kill us both, but I move out of the way just in time and then we fight on. We move out to the streets, I severely injure him. I try to make him give up by giving him the [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheReasonYouSuckSpeech"]The Reason You Suck[/URL]-speech. At the peak of hopelessness, he turns the situation around by saying something epic that I have forgot, but it seemed to hint that both he and his lover would survive. I laugh it off while laying on a sidewalk, wet ([I]We had jumped into some water below a bridge at one point aswell.[/I]) I tell him I do hope he meets his lover again, I actually have nothing against him. He walks off. I do that weird thing the Joker does with his mouth in The Dark Knight and then I let myself fall asleep on the sidewalk.[/COLOR]

    4. A Strange Drive

      by , 08-03-2010 at 07:51 PM (The Inner Crazy of Mr Speesh)
      Lucid: Nope
      Dream Aids: None
      Vividness: Not very

      Dreamsign
      Lucidity

      Another fragment unfortunately, but I'll take whatever I can get. I was driving up Main Street in my car at night, when all of a sudden after making a wrong turn it was daylight and I was in a completely exotic area. It almost looked like a walking tour of the jungle or something.

      After reaching the top a bunch of extended family members I haven't seen in a while were there waiting for me. We started chatting about something but I can't remember what exactly, the memory fades after that.

      It seems that in addition to seeing people I don't see very often in dreams, there are some contextual dreamsigns as well. The first highlight in this dream has to do with sudden and drastic changes in setting. This happens to me fairly often, I'll be in one setting and suddenly after one minor action will find myself in a completely different one. The other one I can think of right now is minor changes in a familiar setting. Last time I became lucid it was because I was in my own apartment, but all of the furniture was mixed up and put together differently. When something gets created from my memory it seems to come out very inverted.

    5. Success! (if tiny and fleeting)

      by , 08-03-2010 at 07:43 PM
      My very first moments of lucidity in dreamland. Before I went to sleep I repeated to myself, "I'm dreaming." A couple of dreams later, one of my dream characters told me, "You're dreaming!" He said it twice and then I gasped and said, "I'm dreaming!" at which point I had a strange rushing feeling and everything went blank. I was waking up so quickly and I was so taken by surprise I didn't think to spin. When fully awake I almost didn't believe it had happened.

      I started my dream log on the 25th of July, so it's been just over a week from my decision to lucid dream to my first successful experience. Considering that I've never had a lucid dream before, even by accident, I consider this enormously encouraging. Thanks, fellow dreamers, for your support.

    6. Lucid in NYC

      by , 08-03-2010 at 07:31 PM (The Inner Crazy of Mr Speesh)
      Lucid: Hell yeah!
      Dream Aids: None
      Vividness: Above average, but could be better

      Dreamsign
      Lucidity

      I was in a huge city that I now believe to be a representation of New York, and something about the context rang funny to me. I did a reality check and quickly became lucid. I wish I could remember more about what exactly made me lucid. I think it occurred after a WBTB so its very possible I was just far more aware than usual.

      Upon discovering my lucidity I began to ground myself in the dream by taking in my surroundings and feeling whatever I could. I seem to have gotten the hang of calming down and remembering to stabilize in a lucid dream, though my stabilization technique still probably needs some work. I should try the shouting CLARITY trick sometime soon, as this one wasn't incredibly vivid.


      There was unfortunately no time for any of that though, as all I was able to do in this lucid was walk down the street a bit stabilizing before a call on my cell phone woke me up. Unfortunate, but I'm still ecstatic at the fact I've had two lucid dreams in a week now. That's not happened to me before.

    7. Jumping Off A Plane

      by , 08-03-2010 at 07:24 PM
      So my dream starts off with me walking onto an airplane. For no particular reason I count the fingers on my hand and realize that I'm dreaming. I just had this feeling to for some reason. As soon as I became lucid I remembered something I was thinking about before I fell asleep, which was to jump out a window in order to successfully fly the way I want to. I did not even double check the dream as I knew confidence is a major aspect of dream control.

      Well when I jumped out I did manage to fly. I kind of realized that in order to fly I had to clear my mind and not overthink anything. That's what was preventing me from doing what I wanted to do before. I still had trouble keeping my mind clear and fully controlling how I was flying but I was managing. Unfortunately the dream memory is not vivid enough that I can remember exactly where I flew through and I barely recall the feeling.

      I decided to land, I think it was in a field somewhere but I'm not 100% sure because part of me remembers there being other people there. I wanted to transform my body to see if I could. I looked down at myself and noticed that I could see my nose (like when you cross your eyes and look at your nose). I looked back up and imagined a different looking torso, but the dream began to get hazy. I rubbed my hands together and tried to focus on the texture but I was losing my dream. I was about to spin but it was too late, I woke up. ....which was probably just another false awakening again.

      This was a short fragment. It was an overcast day, but not too inclement. Nevertheless, by a rock face we were seeing little white tornadoes break out every so often. Not dangerous or anything, they'd just move around a bit before dissipating.

      The waves were also very strange. Despite the distinct lack of wind there would be huge waves. But not exclusively. The waves were completely random. Huge ones would be followed by tiny ones, or anything in between. It made for very difficult swimming.

    9. August 3, 2010

      by , 08-03-2010 at 07:17 PM (Requiem's DJ)
      I took a CnG (http://lucidallnight.wordpress.com/2...oline-a-guide/) to jump start August and as usual, it worked well. Although my recall is still a little spotty, I remained pretty lucid and there were moments of hyper realism. So a pretty good one.

      Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes? (dild)

      Don't remember the beginning too well. I remember my hands having more fingers than normal and I'm lucid.

      It is dark and I am in the alley. I see the moon and I throw my hands out, palm down and try to lower it and raise a sun. The moon begins to fall but it turns into a fireball. Sort of a sun but it just returns to a normal moon when I stop focusing on it. I try to throw fireballs/energy balls but it doesn't work. The dream is quite stable so I try for at least 2 minutes. I try vocal commands and focuses on the feeling of my hands but nothing happens.

      I fly around my neighborhood a little bit and it is sort of snowing a little. Nothing really catches my attention so I go into my neighbors house. There isn't even room to move. It is just sort of enclosed space. I lose vision but remain in the dream using tactile sensations.

      I am back in the alley and again I lose vision. I drop to the floor and feel the gravel. I re-enter the dream.

      I got into my neighbors house. NOT the normal neighbors' but a different house. I lose vision but I start destroying the place. Tossing chairs and tipping a dresser until the dream reforms and I am back in the alley.

      I fly up and see basement swing doors in my neighbors yard.



      I open them and climb down the ladder. It is sort of like a warehouse/old dusty tomb. There is dirt and some vines too. I see a snake coiled up and decide to go the other direction. More snakes. I sort of lose lucidity, just running through this place, stomping and killing any snakes in my way. I get bit at from the side by a snake and it feels just like a light bee sting. No big deal.

      I stop running and stabilize. I kick up sort dirt and just watch it swirl around. I pick up a stick and hit this bucket on a rope and watch it swing around as gravity takes its toll and it slows. That was cool.

      Then out of nowhere there is a naked women. No doubt inspired by a recent entry in Xel's journal. Things heat up and the dream is real vivid. It segues somehow into something else. I remember continuing through the warehouse place until I found Bruce Willis, who is mumbling about something that happens when we can no longer dream and we lose our hair. I ask “But what about death and God and all that?” and I wake up.

      I think there was more but don't remember. Anyways, I got to go.


      Frags:

      1. My grandfather has a computer that is held together by duct tape at a party. Kyle Gass is on drums. I eat a red snow cone and it is really good.

    11. Choose Your Ride

      by , 08-03-2010 at 06:58 PM
      Type: regular dream.
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

      I was on a school field trip with my classmates. We were inside a modern building with white walls; a few of the corners were softened and curved. I don't remember what the flooring was like, but there were a large potted plant and a stand-up menu to the right of the small room. Next to this, there was a purple awning that led to another part of the building, which looked like a restaurant.

      There was a short hallway, a few feet long, in front of our group of around ten people. It opened up into a larger room with five polished wooden pillars; four students started to walk in front of their own pillar and position themselves in front of it. No one else seemed to want to go; they were all standing there, so I took the last pillar. All five of us were now standing in front of one pillar each, which I now realized were labeled with a small sign framed in metal.

      My classmate in front of the pillar beside me laughed, almost in pity. "Oh, Puffin, you got the pain section."

      "Great," I replied, rolling my eyes and exhaling in a gust. I knew that this was a ride, and nothing would really happen to me, but I was still nervous. I knew you could personalize your ride by choosing "pain", "wisdom", "heat", and two others which I forget.

      Suddenly, the room changed. I was on a circular, three- or four- foot thick wooden platform in a darkened room, seated in a chair with a seat belt on. I looked to the left and could see the four people who were with me before, and they were also in a chair. The ride started and it began to tilt backwards; at the same time it went downhill on some sort of track. Above me, there were circular saws, but they were slightly thicker than they should have been, and not shiny.

      The ride lunged back upwards and my knees hit the saws as they turned. I expected pain but realized that the saws were rubber. I looked to the left and above the student beside me, there were flamethrowers (how is that not dangerous?). I didn't look to see what else there was.

      The dream changed again, and now I was in a small banquet hall with brown walls, white trim, and long tables with white tablecloths. My classmates were still there, and they were signing cheques at the various tables. I saw my teacher and I went to her. She had a cheque lying on the table for $22,000.

      "You still owe me two thousand," she told me. But I replied that I didn't have any more cheques on me, and that I had to get some more.

    12. ah, dreams again...sexual themes again

      by , 08-03-2010 at 06:29 PM
      dream

      i was going to report to work at a new company. when i went there, something happened as i was talking to the boss and for some reason he left. his desk and seat were left empty. the other employees came, it was a small company maybe of 5-7 people and felt like my co-workers were malay and chinese. i took the seat/desk where the previous boss was, and felt i was now the boss of the company.

      then a meeting in the conference room. some one giving a presentation, a weekly one or some routine type. i remember seeing the whiteboard standing on legs (a tripod, and not stuck on the wall) and the meeting was divided into 3 parts. 1st was the longest, apparently what we had just done - some kind of talk or brainstorming session. 2nd was short, and 3rd said Macau instead of a time. I remember seeing the 3-part format reminded me of church services, because of the splitting into 3 (singing, announcements, sermon). Next we are in "Macau" but it's not the real macau i suspect, because it didn't give me that feeling, and i've never even been to macau. it fact, it felt like a theme park. wait, am i mixing this into some other dream i'm just remembering now? in that dream, the theme park is largely water based and eventually after more than half of the dream around the theme park, i reach a large competition type pool, and we jump in and race...hmm yes this seems like an old dream just coming to my memory now.

      now i'm looking at the displays of a store, through the glass. there's a guy and girl next to me. the guy was one of my former co-workers in that earlier part of the dream. the girl, the feeling was she was Ece, or maybe the feeling came later. They are together as a couple. i'm looking at the glass and someone else comes to get something from the glass, because now it's a fridge. I am looking at what drink to take. I want to take the beer (there are many bottles, or was it cans, or beer there...i think tiger or some green-color-label type...so could be carlsberg or heineken...etc) but i'm a bit embarrassed because someone is watching me since he also wants to grab a drink. i end up taking something else.

      then something happens, maybe i'm not walking straight or something, but i remember that guy saying, "haven't even drink already like that". i walk to the right side of this store. the whole building the store is in is a small 1 storey building with this store, and the right of it my company office. in fact, feels like those US highways restpoint with the convenience store affiliated with the gas station as the store and the other section selling food (macs...) as the office.

      the guy walks through some door into the building and i leaving. there are a lot more people around now. feels like knock off work time, 5pm or so. behind him is a girl walking out. come to think of it, she was in the company in the earlier part of the dream too. either she was the one giving the presentation, or just another girl. But she's dressed quite sexily, i like. i am talking to the man as he went through the door, forgot about what, but my next sentence (supposedly still talking to him if it makes logically sense), is directed actually at the girl. so it seems the man is now that girl although i remember distinctly in the dream that when i was addressing her, the man was walking in front of her. ah, dreams are strangely confusing even to describe

      i say to her, "if you're not doing anything/if you're interested, come over to my place" or something like that. she doesn't respond...in fact nobody responds to me...it's as if i don't exist and i wasn't heard. but anyway, i didn't pursue the matter as people went their way. i turned to leave too, walking to the left of the store and on.

      i reach some kind of road or river, and i "remember" that i need to go leftward. i turn to walk up this road, and see a building in the background that i am supposed to head toward (or it acts as a landmark to where i'm headed). on the road, i meet the guy and Ece. hmm, should i stop using names? but then how can i remember what the feeling of the dream was, since it somehow associated the girl with Ece?

      I talk to her. I am attracted to Ece. maybe i'm kinda horny after talking to that other girl, asking her to come over to my place. The guy seems weak. he isn't competing with me, he seems friendly with me, and i seem to feel like he's a neutral acquaintaince of mine that i don't wanna compete with, and that he isn't a couple with Ece (as compared to what i felt earlier in the dream). So he's just there, you know, while I talk to Ece.

      Ece says something, i can't hear. I say "what?" and bend closer to her a little. She says something, and I step closer to her and say I can't hear her. at that moment, i felt that i actually heard her but was being sneaky, trying to get closer to her. so now i'm next to her, i say "what did you say" and put my hand on her back, as if in a friendly gesture to encourage closeness so i can hear her. i move myself closer to her and she is now in between my legs. her outer left thigh is between my legs, specifically between my right leg and my dick and balls. next i can feel her ass, don't know whether it's me making a move on her or she is making a move on me. her ass is very nice, very soft. i touch her more now and squeeze her ass. it's very soft. too soft. strange. (later when i wake up, i wonder if i was feeling one of my pillows which is very very soft). i start getting riled up and push my genitals against her ass and squeezing her all over. i say lots of things, don't remember what. maybe like "i want to f*** you" or something. then i'm really physically aggressive and next thing i know i'm kneeling in front of her, with her legs between mine. i feel it is a sexy position and i say more sexual stuff (or think it). then i'm on my feet again basically it's just a lot of sexual energy. she reacts quite neutral-to-favorably, as if compassionate to me and she likes me.

      then, that seems to be the end of the dream.

    13. Chuck E.

      by , 08-03-2010 at 06:06 PM
      Okay this is quite the long dream.

      I went to a Chuck E. Cheeses with my little sister. After I got my tokens I swiftly moved to the Random Ticket Machine. After two goes I was bored of the game. Then I quickly moved to the Coin Shooter Game. Randomly I pulled something from my hand and stuck it in the coin slot.

      After several minutes waiting for something to happen I looked in and saw that I dropped my twenty dollar bill inside, instead of a token.

      Leaving my previos tickets behing,(wow I'm dumb and not rational in my dreams)I walked to up to the skinny, tall, good looking ticket collecting lady.

      She looked at me to tell me I could talk.

      "I need somebody at the Coin shooter Game." I said. suddenly out of nowhere a chubby lady appeared and asked me why I needed her.

      "Instead of putting a coin into the Coin Shooter Game, I put in a twenty dollar bill," I told her.

      Magicly, we appeared back at the Coin Shooter Game. A boy younger than me but much plumper and taller than me was standing there admiring the twenty dollar bill that was slightly pullsationg as the pushers in back shoved the coins forward(oh and I forgot to mension that my tickets that I left behind didn't get stolen)

      The lady in the back turned off the power to the game and opened up the back.

      "I was here first and you have to wait your turn." I told the boy after the lady left.

      "No!" He started screaming and shouting. Afte that his buddies popped out of nowhere and took his side(does any one see a reaccuring thing with the popping out of nowhere).

      "Well then forget you. I'm going to you."

      "No you aint." He said back. We both tried to get our coins in first. I was the succesful one. Unluckily though, he won all the tickets and at that moment we poofed away and all of us where at my grandmas back deck and my sister magicaly came with us.

      The boy and I continued to try to beat each othe, but everytime one of his buddies would stick his foot into the hole and knock some coins out.

      "Forget this." I said

      "You gunna leave all your tickets?" He asked as I stormed off upset. I turned around and they were gone. That was when I desided wanted my tickets.

      I ran to the front porch but, they weren't there. I then ran upstairs, they weren't there, but my sister was in my underwear.

      "Don't get into MY clothes" I yelled.

      The End

    15. Night 6: Excursions with magical cats and first lucid dream

      by , 08-03-2010 at 05:40 PM
      Finally got lucid tonight! WBTB certainly is a miracle technique.

      Last night I had a terrible time trying to sleep because I'm currently out of town staying in a hotel with my family. As such, I'm sharing a bed at the moment with my eleven-year-old brother, and he's quite...active when he sleeps. So I really didn't fall asleep very hard until he'd gotten out of bed.

      Once I was asleep I know I was at a friend's house. He's the same friend from my first dream journal who sells weed, but this dream had nothing to do with that. I was staying at his house, which was unusual because I've never done that before, and I think he really needed me to leave (along with many other people who were also there) because either his parents were home and didn't want us there or they were going to be home very soon and wouldn't like that we were there. Either way, that's all I remember of that.

      The only thing I remember of the dream after that is grabbing my ex-girlfriend by the sides of her face for some reason.

      After that I was definitely walking through some very deep snow, and I was with a couple people, but they weren't anyone I know. I don't really know where we were going or what we were doing, but there were some very definite distances ingrained in my head for some reason (25 being one of them, but because I didn't think of any units I don't know if that was 25 feet, 25 meters, 25 miles...it was just 25). Whoever I was with wanted to return to wherever we'd come from, and I followed suit. That's probably about when my brother got out of bed and I was able to really fall asleep.

      Before that though, my mother woke me up, so I was awake for a while. I was in sort of a vague sleep for a while, one where, if I tried to, I could easily shake myself awake, but I didn't want to because I was trying to visualize. I tried to visualize my dream guide from last night, the cat with the wizard's hat on, and it actually worked. I pictured myself in the same clearing with the same brick laid beneath me as when I met him last night, and he was suddenly there. We started walking through the forest that surrounded us and I think we were talking about a task he had for me to do. Eventually we came upon a house in which he said was someone whose dreams I had to infiltrate. Somehow this was supposed to increase my ability to control my own dreams, but I wasn't sure how. Either way, I trusted him, and I climbed the hill next to the house and dropped in through a hole in the roof. What I came upon inside wasn't another person, but actually myself. A direct copy of me. I think we talked a little, but I don't remember what was said, because soon after we broke into a fistfight. It wasn't a particularly drawn out fight, and eventually I pinned my other self on the ground and punched him in the face a few times. It was then that I understood: My dream guide was having me break into my own mind, break through my own mental blocks in order to achieve lucidity. So I gave my other self a headbutt and felt myself literally melt into him. Our dreams became one, and I fell deeper into the dream.

      The next thing I remember is being with the character Banjo from the N64 game Banjo-Kazooie, if any of you are familiar with that. We were in somewhat of a secret corridor I guess, and we were trying to figure out how to get into the next room without alerting the guards. I immediately realized Banjo could shoot eggs from his mouth (even though Kazooie is the one who can in the games) and for some reason thought that if I squeezed one of Banjo's boobs (which he doesn't have, because he's a dude) it would shoot the eggs out. So we were trying to aim at the guards and were preparing to shoot when we both realized that Kazooie, Banjo's bird friend, was in the next room anyway and could probably take care of the guards herself. So I continued on, but Banjo didn't follow me.

      I found myself at the top of a fairly long staircase. At the bottom was my girlfriend, and I ran down to see her. She was evidently upset because she was at an orientation of sorts for a biology class that she was going to take and she thought it was stupid I guess. We were in a dark room. I remember seeing another young lady whom I recognized from high school, but I don't remember who it was. I think her boyfriend was there too but I don't exactly remember...regardless, I eventually found myself sitting in a nice cushy chair when my old physics teacher came in, saying that he was the one that was giving the orientation because Mrs. Hoikka, the actual teacher of the class, wasn't able to make it, and since he also had experience teaching biology she had asked him to cover. I think I stood up at that point and that's about when I realized I had induced this dream myself. I had a brief conversation with him. I think he was talking about some of his gripes with the government for some reason, probably in relation to state benchmarks that he was required to teach that he didn't think were necessarily important. I achieved a growing level of lucidity as the conversation progressed, and eventually I started to feel the dream breakdown. I tried to think of how to stabilize it, remembering that spinning in circles was supposed to help keep things intact, but I remember thinking that that would probably seem weird to my teacher, so I didn't try it. Unfortunately I should have, because the dream broke down completely after that and I woke up.

      Regardless, I finally attained lucidity, so I'm happy about that.
