    1. #115. The Mafia

      by , 07-25-2010 at 06:47 AM (Things to Run Away From Really Fast)
      07/24/10

      Something about angels that die at the same time as their human mates... I should really stop reading bad fanfiction.

      I'm running away from zombies. I want to take to the water, so I steal my uncle's boat and go down the creek.

      I need supplies. I find another boat, but apparently it's owned by the still-surviving Mafia. I steal the boat.

      Now I'm being chased by thugs sent by the Mafia, as well as zombies. I run into a building, blasting holes through walls and ceilings, trying to make a route to the roof. I realize that I'm dreaming. I try to black out and go to the first location I think of (the apartment in Ixburg). I stop, everything around me faded to grey, and wonder why the hell I'd want to go to Ixburg. I fade back into the dream and keep running.

      I make it to the roof. My enemies are right behind me. I jump down onto a white truck, and make a run for it, laughing.

      Later. I'm on the road in a camper-trailer. I'm making dinner and doing dishes. Oma wonders if there's not enough protein in the pasta I made.

      We're going to see a movie in Moose Jaw (real place, I do not kid). We park the camper and I step out with my cousins. I look at the showtimes, but Despicable Me isn't playing in that theatre anymore. Apparently this is the first day it's not showing. I'm very sad.

      The Mafia. Scare Factor: 3.


      Notes: I'm writing up an especially epic dream from two days ago, which seems to directly follow up Seven Minutes in Heaven. Basically, Castiel (from Supernatural) gets captured by someone, and I take the opportunity to thoroughly mindfuck Team Free Will.

      Wife behavior triggers lucidity (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Well. This is my lowest night since several, several nights. I went to bed very late and woke up very early, I sleep only around 5 hours and I still managed to grab two dreams. One is a small fragment, and the other one, a lucid.

      Second:

      I had a false awakening in my room. I was with my wife and she was nude. My wife told me she did not need sex anymore. There were two more female characters and I asked to them what was going on with my wife. One of them told me that she may had other sources.

      One of the female DC pulled a vibrating toy. It was hidden under my wife's pillow. We realized the reason that my wife needed no sex anymore. I felt bad about it, but got over it quick. I was looking for my dream journal. While I was looking for it, the issues with my wife came to my mind again. I wanted to talk with her about it.

      I found my DJ. It was made out of gummy bears instead of regular paper. I could see some letters on it but it was hard. I started to write down my dreams and it shattered in several pieces (each gummy bear was separated) The DC helped me to put them together and I tried to write my dream, but the pen did not want to work.

      I ran to the computer as I was afraid that my dreams were going to be forgotten. I saw my wife and it came once more to my mind the issue. I started to wonder why did she used such toy if she always has been happy with me. I reality checked as I was unsure that it could be for real.
      It was definitely fake. I had no thumb and two fingers were fused into one. I looked at my hand for a second time and it was fine. I jumped. I reached about a couple feet of heigh and I landed in slow motion. I left the room and walked downstairs to the living room. This house was not my waking house. I saw a big old school window and I decided to leave. I always fly in my lucids so is what I did (I rarely walk) I flew straight to the window but I hit the wall and bounced back.

      I said to myself that I could easily go through the window. I flew into it again and flew through it. I could hear the glass shattering as I started to go through. I saw the pieces of the glasses falling being me.

      I was flying over a big forest. The trees were big and they appeared treacherous. I realized that I was in a small island, surrounded by a lake. I could see a huge city after the lake. As I gained height, I saw that it was sunrise. I saw all the buildings with their lights on and the freeway getting crowed.

      I looked up in the sky and I saw a huge and beautiful moon. I decided to fly towards it to meet with WakingNomad and company. As I gained more height, I felt passing through the big trees. While I was gaining height, I woke up.
      My wife's clock rang. Time to wake up to drive her to work.

      Missed Dream Signs:
      - The FA.
      - They very odd shape of my wife's vibrating toy.
      - My DJ was made of gummy bears.

      Dream Signs noticed:
      - Realizing that my wife would not act that way in waking.

      Reality Check performed:
      - Hand check.
      - Gravity check.
    3. Sand Boarding

      by , 07-25-2010 at 06:12 AM (Ferret's Lucid Dream Journal)
      I realised I was dreaming. I was talking to some girl iv never seen before. As soon as I realised I was dreaming everything started to fade. I kinda went auto pilot for a few seconds to try to stay in the dream. I didnt try moving or doing anything. The dream slowly came back and I observed my dream body respond to the girl and walk a few steps with her. When the dream had full clarity again I pulled my hand up and spawned a second pinky finger out of my hand. I walked away from the girl, I dont even think she noticed, she was talking as if I was still listening as I walked away.

      I came to a spot while an incline down a long hill. There were a few pine trees around and everywhere was covered in sand. I felt I could slide down the sand so I took a few fast steps and pushed my feet out like you would do on ice. My feet sunk in straight away, there was a large log in the sand infront of me. I imagined it would be like snowboarding but without the board on my feet and tried again. It worked perfectly, I slid up and grinded the log. I started carving down the sand track, it was amazing. Just like snowboarding but on sand and without a board!! Then I noticed underneath the sand was rock. It was like a realy small halfpipe but the rock only emerged out of the sand on the very edges. I would carve down the slope and swing up to do grinds on the sides of the pipe. Two skateboarders were coming uphill towards me (Dont ask me how they were skating on sand!) so I easily carved in between them getting dangerously close. They looked impressed. I came to the end of the slope and there was a bunch of people watching some skates, a young beginner skater came infront of me and knocked my foot and I stumbled a bit. I met a few guys who were all real cool then I noticed one guy was holding a skateboard deck with no trucks on. I asked him if I could borrow it and headed back to the top to try it now with a skateboard but woke up

      Small Fragment (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Well. This is my lowest night since several, several nights. I went to bed very late and woke up very early, I sleep only around 5 hours and I still managed to grab two dreams. One is a small fragment, and the other one, a lucid.

      First:

      - Something about a principle.
      - FA in my room.
      - I was trying to recall dreams with no success.

      Missed dream signs:
      - The FA.

      What I would have done if lucid:
      - Unknown.

    5. 07/22/10 The Truth Revealed

      by , 07-25-2010 at 04:48 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Note: It turned out that some really nasty things happened to Asuka during the time she was with L, she was in serious need of healing. That was my first priority, to go help MoSh with healing Asuka. I figured I would definitely take Basara with me… I had my first goal in mind when I fell asleep, but I was not successful in entering a WILD. I'm not even sure how I became lucid in this dream… it just kind of happened gradually, so gradually that I'm not exactly sure when I became fully lucid…

      I was in the front yard of my house, and I noticed it was cloudy. I wanted to go for a walk, and the clouds made it much nicer to walk than when it is fully sunny. I left the house and went to the gate, realized I had forgotten the remote to the gate, so I climbed over it instead of going back into the house to get the remote. I walked down the dirt road and up to the main street where I turned left. I followed the road for a while until I reached the new housing development that has been going in recently. I'd never seen the houses up close, so I turned into the housing area and figured I would take a look around. It was nothing remarkable, all the houses were basically cookie cutter homes that all looked the same. Or mostly the same, there were about three different models repeated over and over and over… Then I went up a hill and found a house that looked different. The first thing that came to mind was MoSh's house in his inner world. But how could I be seeing that here? It looked so much like MoSh's place that I went to the door and knocked. Much to my amazement, MoSh answered.

      "Oh, good… you're here," MoSh said as he hurried me into the house and closed the door behind me, "Asuka really needs help… I'm not sure what else to do for her except for try to heal her. The things I'd like to do to that bastard…"

      I told MoSh he could do whatever he wanted to L, or I could do it and he could read about it in detail, or we could both do it together and he could read about it in detail… or he could probably get Walms to have some fun with L then read about it when Walms posted his DJ… or… MoSh interrupted me at this point, saying we should focus on Asuka for now, L could be made to pay later. I remembered that Basara would be able to help with healing Asuka so I focused on opening a portal to find Basara, the portal opened and Basara came through as if he had been expecting me. Somewhere in here must be where I became fully lucid, but it was the end of a gradual process so I'm not completely sure when it happened.

      Basara and I followed MoSh into the bedroom where Asuka was hiding. And she really was hiding. She was in a corner of the room trying to disappear into the wall, she had her knees pulled up to her chest and her face was hidden as if she thought no one would see her if she couldn't see them. MoSh went over to Asuka and touched her on the shoulder, I noticed a very concerned look on Basara's face. Asuka responded right away to MoSh, she reached for him and immediately put her arms around him as if she was drowning in the ocean and he was her life preserver. Basara didn't need to be told what had to be done, he summoned a guitar and began playing a song that I recognized from the Macross 7 soundtrack, the song entitled Love Will Save Your Heart. I focused on the healing song along with Basara, thought it looked like MoSh was having problems getting to his guitar with Asuka clinging to him as she was… As the song was playing golden energy filled the room, giving everything in the room a golden shine that came just from the energy. When the song ended, there was no pause in the music as Basara moved seamlessly on to My Soul For You from the same soundtrack. Asuka had let go of MoSh by now and was sitting on the bed staring off into space, which meant MoSh could also add to the healing energy in the room. As this song ended, all three of us were contributing to one more song that I recognized from the Macross 7 soundtrack but I don't remember the title of it… the title was probably in Japanese.

      There was still healing energy filling the room, although some of it looked now to be blues and whites instead of the usual golden energy, this energy seemed very relaxing, however, and it brought a warm sensation of comfort and safety, of love and caring… I continued focusing on the song Basara was using at the time, he had changed songs again. Asuka was still sitting on the bed, though she seemed to be paying attention to the three of us now as if we were giving her a private concert, which I suppose we were. The blue and white energy was centering in on Asuka and flowing around her in a manner that made it look like she was glowing… she looked more like an angel than anything, though she didn't actually have the wings… The music and the energy were so relaxing I thought I might fall asleep in the middle of the healing process… Basara played through one more song, I also don't remember the name of this one, and then the music stopped. There was still a bright glow about Asuka as the light energy was still surrounding her and flowing through her. I looked closer at her and saw she actually had a small smile on her face. Basara looked at Asuka and smiled himself, he said it looked good. He said he didn't know if that one time would be enough for her to get past what had happened, but he had to say one thing for her, she seems stronger than she looks. Now that the music had stopped Asuka lied down on the bed and fell asleep, though her sleep looked peaceful and relaxed. I told Basara that if she needed more healing, then she would have it. Basara agreed with that before opening a portal and going through it.

      MoSh kissed Asuka ash she slept and then left the room, clearly meaning for me to follow him. I followed him into the next room where he had some pictures lying face down on a desk. He picked one of them up and looked at it only briefly before turning it face down on top of the others so that none of them were visible. He said that he needed to make sure Kanmuri knew how important it was to keep L away from Asuka. I opened a portal to get to L's inner world and the two of us went through.

      MoSh and I exited the portal in the area of L's inner world where we usually seem to arrive. I wondered if it would be possible to enter at a different location if I needed to for some reason, this was the only place I could remember arriving. For this time, however, that location was just fine. I spotted Kanmuri not too far away from us, she was looking over at the guest house with a strange look on her face as if the building held some kind of unfathomable mystery. She saw us arrive there and said L was in the guest house again, she said she didn't know what he was doing in there, but she didn't think he had anyone in there with him, she was sure he hadn't gone after Asuka again… MoSh said Asuka was safe at home, but there was something he wanted to show Kanmuri. She asked what that was, looking at the pictures in MoSh's hands, which he gave to her.

      Kanmuri stared at the first picture as if unable to comprehend exactly what she was seeing, then she looked at the next one and the third one before dropping the pictures on the ground. She had a look of total shock on her face, seemed unable to find any words appropriate for the situation. She said she never thought that would happen… she admitted she hadn't known L for long, but that was just so… so… and again words seemed to fail her. MoSh said that the things that had happened in those pictures showed clearly why Kanmuri has to make absolutely certain L doesn't get anywhere near Asuka again. Kanmuri stared at MoSh in stunned disbelief, again she didn't seem to know what to say, but that didn't last long…

      "You don't actually expect me to stay here with that… that monster, do you?" she asked incredulously, "I've stayed here until now, and I was going to try to make sure he didn't go off and kidnap Asuka again, but that was before I knew he was a total psychopath! I'm out of here!"

      "Then who is going to keep L away from Asuka if you don't stay?" MoSh asked.

      Kanmuri was silent for a bit again, then she got mad, "So you expect me to stay here no matter what might happen?" she yelled right in MoSh's face, "So it's completely ok with you if I get tortured and gang raped and maybe even killed as long as your precious Asuka is safe? Well, guess what? I'm not going to stay around here as an outlet for that bastard's twisted fantasies! That was the only deal breaker, I don't care if he's a jerk, I don't care that he apparently hasn't even got the capacity to care about anyone, but I will not stay here and be abused!"

      "You were supposed to keep L from hurting Asuka!" MoSh said, apparently getting upset himself, "You said you would do this, so you can't go and leave now!"

      Kanmuri was so pissed off she was momentarily unable to speak, it also looked like she might cry, from rage? Sadness? It was more rage that she was expressing. "You are… you are…" Kanmuri finally found her voice, though she didn't seem to know what words to use, "You are such an ASSHOLE! If those things had happened to me, it wouldn't matter to you at all, would it? Well it's not happening!" She did something and then dropped a nasty expletive. She was muttering something about not even being able to open a fucking portal to get out of this hell hole. I asked where she was looking to go, I figured it wouldn't do any good to try to keep her here against her will. She said she wanted to go somewhere that she wouldn't be gang raped by a bunch of mindless drones and the king of all assholes… um… my inner world qualified for that… so I opened a portal to my inner world. MoSh told Kanmuri she couldn't just leave, she flipped him the bird and said watch her, she was already gone. She went through the portal to my inner world, and about the same time I woke.

    6. Here's another doosy

      by , 07-25-2010 at 04:34 AM
      The sorta first/first part of the dream i only remember in one scene and it had something to do with a marketplace that looked like an italian villa.

      The last part was something to do with wanting to leave somewhere, but the roads were blocked and we had to pass a barrier. i remember the bridge that held the barrier covered in traffic and when u got to the actual inspection it was a bunch of people with blocked off roads. Well the one that i ‘pulled up’ to o (at least point I switched to riding a shopping cart) was my friend’s friends, matt and katie. I guess my excuse for having to be at the baracade was that I was going to marry my boyfriend or something (slighly horrifying concept…not him…the marrying).

      Now this part gets strange, to prove this to the guards I had to get my parents approval, but they were on vacation or something. I remember ‘flipping’ back to my house looking for my phone and calling my sister and than leaving a text with my parents and so on and so forth. It finally amounted to my mom being in the room talking about making sausages when the dream ended.

      Ah I just remembered some fragments of my dream.
      BF was reading something when he suddenly told me that he loved me. :/ Especially now that we'd been hanging out more, LANing and whatnot. I think I told him that nothing could ever happen between us because I did not like him back in that way.
      Take note that he did actually like me back in 2007, but I am pretty sure that he wouldn't like me now.

    9. WWII Theme Park and Two Fragments

      by , 07-25-2010 at 02:23 AM (Sailing the Noosphere)
      1. My brother and I are at a theme park that seems to be based on world War II. As we walk along, our eyes are caught by what looks like an indoor mini golf course. When we enter, however, the attraction is a kind of real-life platformer. Fiendish puzzles of moving boxes are suspended above pits of water or water colored to look like "lava." It takes a lot of time and creative thinking, but we clear a bunch of levels together. Eventually, however, we reach the final stage, presided over by a cigar-smoking wax statue of General George Patton. In this stage, we have to carry a box of supplies over a very unstable path of floating and sinking boxes. I empty my pockets, knowing that I'll probably fall. They have my real-life every day carry in them, including my wallet, cell phone, keys, and Swiss Army knife. My brother and I then start to carry the boxy, but soon we simply give up.

      2. I'm exploring the University of Tennessee in a kind of Space Station 13 style setup. The dream is set during a Latin convention, so the place is crowded, and I get up to a variety of hijinks. Highlights include leading a round of spiritual songs on the dance floor, climbing up recently painted ladders, tracking my friend H's little sister, and causing sonic annoyance on the football field. Lots of activity, but little in my notes.

      3. A suit clad woman is driving a car of research station students back from a movie. The scenery isn't rural at all, but instead a kind of cyberpunk corporate hellhole. She convinces us to make an unnecessary fast food stop at a White Castle, and we enter the drive through. As we do so, however, she nonchalantly says "By the way, you're dreaming." I realize that yes, I am, but having a DC tell me straight up is enough to snap me out.
    10. LD: First Induced Lucid Dream

      by , 07-25-2010 at 01:45 AM (My Official Journey Into Lucid Dreaming)
      I'm sitting in the back of a cab between Elaine and Kramer. I wonder, "Where is Jerry?".

      What? Seinfeld is a show. How could I be in a cab with "Elaine" and "Kramer". I decide to check my hands. This was a gut reaction, there was no reasoning. It just seemed that's what I should do. My hands are really distorted. My left hand has only a few long fingers. My right hand is missing the ring finger from the middle knuckle up. My thumb are normal. Immediately, I realize I am dreaming. These are not what my hands are supposed to look like. Cool. I can even realize that I have been trying to LD. I know the steps I have taken, and that it is intentional. I am fully aware of what I want to do. I do NOT know what time it is, nor if it is light out or not.

      I notice that no one is speaking. They aren't frozen or anything, they just aren't talking. I notice there is no cab driver. The cab isn't even moving. I get into the driver's seat of the cab. No steering wheel. I think, "I can just make one, this is my dream". I try to conjure a steering wheel. No luck. I demand a steering wheel. Nope. I decide not to waste my dream time and climb out of the window of the cab (why not just open the door?).

      Now I begin to wake up. I immediately recognized this, and looked up and started spinning. It looked like when you play a first person video game, point your view up, and then just rotate using one stick. No dizziness at all. Now, I am stabilized and back in the dream.

      Now I am in the breezeway of an apartment complex. It is dark. I start running. I am not frightened, but deeper in the dream, and a little less lucid. I conjure a pool and jump in. No shock of hitting the water. I am underwater, and decide to try to breathe. I am now more lucid. I plug my nose and cover my mouth with my hands....and....breathe in. It works! I'm elated! I can do it. I move myself out of the water.

      I am running. No one is around, and suddenly I come upon a beautiful slim short brown haired women. She is about 35 or so. I think, I'm in a dream, I can do whatever I want, and this is a really nice looking woman. I immediately rip off her top. I can clearly see her breasts, and can only focus on those. I touch them. I put my face to them, they feel wonderful, then snap to....

      I am running through the streets of my youth, but the colors are much more beautiful. Not more vivid, just more of them. I decide to fly. All I can do is jump. What is going on? This is my dream, FLY dammit! At one point, I leave the ground for about 10 feet or so for a second or two. No luck from that point on.

      I keep running. I'm thinking how cool this is. I check my hands again, and my finger are really long. Yep, I'm still dreaming. I climb up on some big stones and jump off of them. It doesn't hurt. I try other high (not very high, no more than 8 feet, don't know why) and jump. No pain, or even feeling.

      I'm running again. I still know I'm dreaming, but a little less lucid. I'm not breathing hard, my muscles don't ache, I am not tired. I could run like this forever. The grass is slightly rainbow colored. The sky is a beautiful blue at the top, but it is either sunset or sunrise. It is fantastic. I am running towards it. I am overcome with joy. I cannot help but cry at how happy I am...

      I awake. I am not crying, not particularly joyful, just kind of normal. I am totally excited though. I induced my first LD!



      (sequencing unknown, this is recall)
      I am in a gun store store. I have bought a very large gun (.50 cal). I paid $699 for it. I am worried that I do not have enough money in my account to cover all my expenses, so I need to return it. Don't know why I even bought it. I has three barrels instead of just one. I have a reciept for it. I am relieved when I see that I only paid $99 for it. I am going to return it anyway. I look closely at the receipt. I can see clearly the numbers. On the right side of each item besides the gun is a very detailed color hologram of my parents in a picture pose. I know instinctively that this is a security measure.....

      Conditions:
      1200 mg of Omega03&6 Fish Oil (JBB)
      1000 mg Vitamin B6 (JBB)
      20 ounces of Apple Juice (BB)
      Checked hands during the day (DD)
      Read some philosphy and LD (DD)
      Binaural Beats: Base: 95hz, Beat: cycled from 2 hz to 7hz to try to mimic a typical dream cycle; Pink Noise; Volume Med for both. Can audibly hear beats. Removed after 2 hours (annoying me)

      Fell asleep: 2:30am
      WBTB: 8:00am
      LD: 9:30am complete

      ---------------------

      JBB=Just before bed after 9pm
      AB= At bedtime 11:30pm
      BB=Before Bedtime after 5pm
      DD=During the day between wake and 5pm

    11. Bus Brawl, and Shootout

      by , 07-25-2010 at 01:43 AM (exdreamer's Dream Journal)
      Key: Non-Lucid, Lucid, Commentary/Notes, Hypnagogic Hallucinations
      i Inner Awareness, a Action, f Form, c Context

      Bus Brawl

      I was a kid again on the school bus ( f,c ). My friend M was there ( c ). We were arguing, I think. I beat him up quite badly ( a ). Everyone I knew on the bus was angry at me. I went to talk to the driver, and saw that it was M ( a,f,c ). I made fun of him and everyone was mad at me again ( a ).

      I was really upset, but didn't want to show it. I lay down on one of the seats and closed my eyes. Everyone was getting off the bus and I sat up and turned to T in the seat behind. He said he was getting off too, even though he was always the last to get off the bus and it wasn't time for him too ( a ). I got the impression that nobody liked me very much.


      Shootout

      I was just a spectator, and not present ( i ).

      There was a large open area. It was somewhere industrial. There were three groups of people. A group of three or four were in the centre of the wide open area. A group of two were couched by a wall, and another group of two were hiding just around a corner.

      Shots were fired. The first group of two were aiming their weapons at the group of people in the centre. However, I thought I noticed that one of them was pointing his gun to his right which would have been towards the other group of two people. In the other small group one was some guy lying on the floor, and the other was Patrick Stewart ( c ). He was wearing a blue jumper with a high neck and a black blazer type jacket. He had a silenced pistol pointing at the large group.

      After the hots were heard I saw Patrick Stewart had a bullet wound he wasn't expecting. He had shot someone in the central group. I could tell that he was wondering if he had been shot by one of them, but he examined the wound and determined that it must have come from his left somewhere.

      I remember looking at a map view of the scene with the people expressed as dots. However there were no landmarks of the surrounding scene. The dots were being circled, and I felt like I was trying to figure something out ( i ).

      The part where Patrick Stewart was shot replayed, but I knew it was a replay ( i ). I thought to myself that it was a cliffhanger and it would be revealed that he was shot from the left by the other gunman ( i ).

    12. #114. The Beast

      by , 07-25-2010 at 12:11 AM (Things to Run Away From Really Fast)
      07/17/10



      The castle is light grey stone, bleached white in the moonlight. Spires reach to the stars. Atop the tallest tower, Debra Morgan stands looking out over endless mountain forests.

      This is fucking ridiculous, she thinks. Of all the people to be kidnapped by a mythological creature, she should not be playing the damsel in distress. She's a cop, for Christ's sake.

      She takes a breath, straightens her long, flowing (fucking impractical, is what it is) dress. It's silk, flowing patterns of blue and purple, glowing in the moonlight. The harsh notes of an organ drift across the courtyard from another tower. She frowns, humming along with the melody.

      She hears her voice being played back to her, a recofded message. She stops humming, startled, and the voice stops. A slow smile forms on her face, and she starts humming the tune that the Beast is playing on his organ. She hums and listens carefully to the instructions her future self is giving her, letting a grin form. This plan just might work.



      I'm a reaper, recently deceased. I've always wanted to leave Ixburg, and I was just shy of graduating high school. Now that I'm dead, I basically have sole dominion over the entire area's dead and dying.

      My family moved out of our apartment block soon after my death. I get the place for a discount. Nobody wants to live in that particular suite anymore. I'm running the place for the new owners, a profession that gives me the flexibility to gather the few souls that suffer freak accidents occasionally.

      For a retirement town, there's not a whole lot of death here.

      Rube shows up around the corner of the shop in the back. He asks how I'm doing. I say that all I want is to get the hell out of here.

      I'm jumping on fenceposts where the shop should be. I see a ten foot post and I jump up from the ground. I'm suspended in the air for a moment, and I force the dream to let me land on the four-inch circle.



      I find myself in the middle of downtown Halifax. Barrington is a pedestrian only street. I feel ridiculously ashamed of my bare feet for some reason.

      I take off to the south end at a sprint, enjoying the feel of running barefoot. I take the boardwalk, heading for my apartment.



      I'm working at a table at some kind of convention, minding my own business, when a girl suddenly attacks me with a sword. I take a glancing blow to the neck, fall with it to avoid more damage. I pick up the short sword that was sitting beside me on the table as I dive for cover. I bring the sword up over my head as the girl strikes again. We fight.

      This is a game. Damage is taken, and I slice open the girl's scalp. She hardly notices. No one loses until they surrender. I switch my sword for an axe on the table. I preferred the sword, so I switched back. The sword is knocked out of my hand and I rush the girl, tackling her and pinning her to the ground. She gets her hands out somehow and tries to struggle away, but another quick move has her immobile.

      I fumble for my sword. I hold the blade to her throat, and rasp, "Do you yield?" She grins and concedes victory to me.

      I'm outside, by the Halifax clocktower. The grass is green, and I look over the Vancouver harbour.

      An orchestra is playing outdoors, under the blue sky. I take a breath, and allow the music to wash over me.

      Now, what was I supposed to be doing?



      A group of people are camping near a lake. Getting out of a car, they bicker with each other. Ron, Hermione, and Draco Malfoy are all members of the group.

      Malfoy is concerned about his haircut (blond and spiky). He thinks it's just great the way it is, but they've been camping for so long that he's starting to need another haircut.

      Ron can cut hair, but Malfoy doesn't trust him not to mess it up on purpose.

      The Beast. Scare Factor: 4.

    13. Review: 7/17/10-7/24/10

      by , 07-24-2010 at 10:40 PM
      1st week of DJ:
      - 0 lucid dreams
      - 5 dreams recalled
      - 2 dream fragments recalled
      - 0 reality check attempts
      - 0 dream sign recognitions

      Comments: I definitely recalled more dreams than I'm used to. I've also been able to focus much better upon awaking, allowing me to recall events from dreams even when they aren't that vivid. Still nothing close to self-awareness while dreaming. My reality checks during the day are improving, so maybe I'll see some progress this next week.

      I'm at a BBQ joint called Joe's in my hometown with my brother. I remember thinking this was odd because we don't hang out much.
      -----------
      We are in Baskin-Robbins, which I know is next door to the Joe's, though I don't remember how I got there. I walk around and sample some flavors. I see a cake ordered under the name "Miss-the-Kiss" (?). I finish my ice cream, throw away my trash, and even pick up the trash of some other people (I used to work at an ice cream shop, so I suppose it was some sort of act of solidarity). I exit out onto the street. As I walk back to the Joe's I run into a group of elderly black men. We stop for a moment and do the what's-happenings and the hows-da-familys; though I didn't recognize the men, I felt as if I had known them my whole life. I get back over to Joe's and there is a big crowd out in front; I found this strange, since Joe's would never be that busy. I looked inside through the window's on the street, and the inside of Joe's had changed dramatically. It now looked like a hip 1940s bar lounge, which I thought was pretty awesome. I see that Joe's now has an NBA Jam arcade machine as well, which I thought was equally awesome. I eventually realize that the people are outside because Joe's is closed for the night. At this point I begin looking for my brother, but I'm having trouble finding him.

    15. Bus waiting.

      by , 07-24-2010 at 10:07 PM
      Dreamt I was with a friend and we went into our dream home. We both were packing and I was trying to change clothes, as a busload of people to NSW, Australia was waiting for us.

      I could not seem to change my clothes.

      End.
