MILD not nearly as successful last night; no biggie. #942: Date: July 3rd, 2010 Length: 3 minutes This dream was pretty strange and I'm having some trouble remembering it. Basically it was some kind of story and/or game that began in hell. At some points I think I was some woman, at others I was satan. Anyways, I started in a kind of a giant cave with an extremely high ceiling, and I saw someone fly towards the top of it and out through an opening. I was supposed to follow, but unable to fly myself. I then discovered I could someone portals, and so I used those to transport myself to the opening. I ended up on some kind of giant floating ship, that was being readied. I was apparently the captain of the ship and its army, and so I began preparations to set out. I checked out some of the soldiers -- they were all ghosts, but only in appearance -- they all could normally interact with the physical world. Eventually I wanted to start heading out, but something was wrong with the ship, and I spent the rest of the dream trying to fix it.
As soon as I woke up I grabbed my laptop, hoping to record everything I could remember from my dream. Unfortunately I couldn't remember much at all There was a part with some girl in some room. Hmm. And then I was with a group of people. I cannot remember what happened. Something happened to my command prompt and then TW sent me this piece of code (actually, three different versions of it that I could choose from) and was like "I fixed it up for you, I just put this piece of code in". Before I could ask him how one would go about doing that, I woke up. But I recall that it was something to do with the system32 folder. Lol.
Below, I've recorded the fight I had with a DV member late last month. Enjoy. BONUS ENTRY OF DOOM!™ 23.06.2010Enter ?????? (DILD) ★★★★☆NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID "Come on!" She commands me, jumping down from the raised section of tiled flooring. Should I follow? I hesitate, my lucidity flickering between states. Running toward the large, open, squared archway she yells back, "Let's get out of here!" But that's not why I'm here. . . She's treating me like a DC, and I'm playing along like an idiot. . . Not cool. "That's not happening," I adamantly state, drawing my blade. Might as well have some fun with this, I think amusedly. She looks back, notices my Katana, and visibly tenses up. I step forward a bit, and am thrilled to see her extend shiny, steel, wolverine-esque claws from between her knuckles. This might get interesting. Cautiously approaching me, I can see her sizing me up, determining the best course of action. Maybe she'll multiply herself. That'd certainly make things more fun. Sure enough, what was no more than a passing thought, comes to be. She seems more surprised than myself, especially when the new copy proceeds to make yet another copy. This process repeats itself several times, and before I know it I'm facing down approximately 13 clawed adversaries. They attack as one. One goes for my head, another for my gut, yet another for my legs, and the rest for any piece of me they think they can hit. Instinct takes over and I launch into the air, spinning quickly with my sword extended in one hand. A blue streak of energy follows my blade as I spin, higher and higher, five, ten, fifteen feet off the ground. Naturally, they miss their strikes, but I'd be a fool to think they aren't prepared with a follow up. Dropping down, I bring my sword around swiftly on a copy to the right, while hook-kicking one to my left. I adjust my blade mid-strike to avoid the parry I read well in advance. Indeed, my Katana makes contact, but my kick is blocked rather aptly. Landing on one foot, I fluidly let myself drop even further, avoiding a flurry of jabs and swipes. After that, I bring my blade in wide rotational arc above my head, deflecting all the follow up slashes aiming to take me out. Then, still maintaining momentum from my spin, I turn about to my left, cutting down another copy, back-fisting one across the head, and kicking out the shins of one behind me. Unfortunately, this leaves me in a less than ideal defensive situation, and my adversaries pick up on that right away. Sharp steel comes at me from every angle, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. So, I teleport away, taking a knee as I do. The excitement of the battle is taking its toll on my stability, so I decide to call it there and allow myself to awaken. I'll give this one to you, Samael. I smile as everything fades to white.

04.07.2010Model Look (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I remember being outside of a shopping center when someone said to me, to just put these clothes on, and make me hair look nice. He took me somewhere and fixed me up, I was really confused as to what was going on. Eventually he finished and just told me to go and do whatever it was I was going to do. While I was in I walked past made me look really a mirror and noticed something wierd, hewierd with my hair straighter and with different clothes. I didn't know I was any different. I went back to him to get my clothes but on the way I went to the toilet, it wasn't very well kept and there were no stalls, just a bunch of toilets side by side. Eww The person next to me said that this toilet is popular because it's cleaner than the others, he said he often comes here just to use that toilet, I was kind of wierded out. I told the man to give me back my clothes but he said no, I kept annoying him about it, and eventually he did.
04.07.2010Ripped Off (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The start is really fuzzy, but I was in the middle of town and thought, this doesn't make sense, did a nose pinch RC and I was lucid. I went and started to annoy people in town, I did things like poking them, yelling in their ear and stuff like that. After some annoying, I did another nose pinc, just to stay lucid, but I couldn't breathe, I tried a few more times but I still couldn't breathe. Because of this realness, I slipped out of lucidity.
04.07.2010The Chosen One (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I remember being granted a short sword and small shield, they didn't look very impressive, but I took them anyway. When I took them, they started glowing a fiery red colour, the man who gave them to me said, "You are the chosen one" He told me that I could do some magic, but I needed to figure that out on my own. I figured out that I could do a Shockwave like magic, with a pulse coming out of my hand. I didn't exactly know what I needed to do with them. When I showed my friend to shockwave I couldn't do it again afterwards, and the sword and shield stopped glowing. I gave them to him and they started glowing again, I guess they changed their mind on who their master is, I was a bit dissapointed at first, but glad for him, still didn't know what they were for though...
04.07.2010Hangin' On (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The start of this dream is a bit fuzzy, I know that something was happening, but, I don't exactly know what. Dream fuzziness, I remember a girl who I befriended at my house but that's it, I was thinking about how wierd this is, and the opposite thing of what ormally happens happened. Instead of my mind distracting me into thinking everything is real, whe I opened my door, the girl I befriended was bleeding out on my bed...I just thought, yep, this is a dream. She was screaming out "MA***, HELP ME!!!" Being the gentleman that I am, I waved my arm over her and she was completely fine, she hugged me, then I went outside my front yard. I often end up outside my house when thinking of what to do when a ute with a tailgate came by, it was speeding by really fast and I thought I might try jump over it, but it stopped and tried to get out of my way. I followed it and then i'm pretty much chasing it around for a bit, it keeps avoiding me but then I eventually jump, miss, and grab the tailgate. The ute starts speeding really fast, i'm struggling to stay on, the speed it was going was completely lifting me off the ground. As it's speeds along I try to pull myself onto the back of the ute, I make it so my hands stick to what they touch, I pulled myself up one bit and i'm a bit further along. I continued to struggle with this as the ute got faster, but I eventually got on the back, I stood up and grabbed onto the top of the ute. I see everything speeding by, it looks exactly like my town. I'm about to see if I can get on top of the actual vehecle part of the ute, but I first looked ahead to see if he was turning, he wasn't, so I clmbed on top and sat down, watching everything, but then he suddenly stopped later on and I went flying off, skidding along the ground, but it didn't hurt. I was at school...
Sorry for making you wait, guys. What with the injury I got, and the trip to the desert, and the exams software develping thing, I have been really slacking off in my updating. I got the paper DJ RIGHT HERE, and I am gonna copy past it. Hold on for an hour or to, and go get a coffee. Oh yeah! lucidmax's back on the line! P.S. I don't keep a date on my paper DJ, as I assumed I would be typing it on the computer anyways. -_- Sorry. I had somehow traveled to the future. Everything, each and every thing, was made of glossy glass. (forgive the pun) I was standing on a platform. I remember I saw a white tiger crawl stealthily by, with a large red sign above it 'Dangered Species. Do not erase OR eat.', that sort of laid waste to it's rather successful attempts at stealthiness. I chuckled to myself, [COLOR="teak']turning semi-lucid for a moment or two,[/COLOR] and losing lucidity again. I continued along. I jumped on a bed, then jumped a few more times, going higher every time, before finally hitting the glass dome of the city and injuring my head. Though I hit my forehead point blank, I felt the pain in my arm. Suddenly, my Tae-Kwon-Do sparring partner comes up, and slashes at me. He had the sword Cloud uses in Final Fantasy. Instinctively, I summoned my sword. That's right. Without turning lucid. I block his slash, then push my sword back, causing him to go back as well. I didn't give a single thought to lucidity, it was just me and him. I rushed towards him, and slashed swiftly at his side. e parried my attack, and then countered with his own. It lasted for some time like this. We slashed and thrust at each other furiously. No clear winner emerged. We just fought ourselves to exhaustion.
Note: I started off with a couple of goals for the night. My first one was to go with MoSh to the Grand Canyon and find a city that is supposed to be hidden there. Originally Posted by Lonewolf The Grand Canyon in Arizona has a underground city whose dreaming entrance is a large cave guarded by a tornado/ally. Those who get inside have found their dreaming greatly enhanced including myself. I would strongly suggest you find this place. Research it and you will find there is reports of this city in folklore. The other goal I had for the night was to do the TotM cloning task by multiplying myself. I was not successful in inducing a WILD, however. I woke up in bed. I rolled over and opened my eyes. I didn't feel sleepy. It looked like this was going to be one of those times when I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. Crap… that doesn't happen to me very often, and it seems like it just happened… but now again? I got out of bed and figured I'd get a drink and hope I was wrong. I walked out of my room and into a hall that is much longer than my waking life house. That was odd… odd enough to trigger a RC. I discovered that I was dreaming. I stopped to think about my goals for the night. My first goal was to meet up with MoSh and head for the city that is supposedly hidden in the Grand Canyon. So I opened a portal to MoSh's inner world and went through it… I entered MoSh's inner world where I often do, right in front of his house. Everything there was bright and sunny. It was a nice day in MoSh's inner world. I walked up to the front door and knocked on it. The door opened soon, and I went inside. It was nice inside, too. I was glad to see it was bright and pleasant instead of dark and creepy as I have seen it so many times before. Asuka was just coming into the room. She said MoSh had told her I would be over. She had some cookies with her and she handed me a couple. They were chocolate cookies with dark chocolate and white chocolate chips in it… yum… MoSh came out shortly later. I asked him if he was lucid. He said sure. I asked if he would remember this dream. He said no. I told him that wasn't good… do a RC… this is a dream. He said he already knew he was dreaming. I said then he should remember the dream. But for now we would go. I opened a portal to the Grand Canyon. A portal opened and both MoSh and I went through… MoSh and I were now standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon… and it was quite a view. I have seen it a couple of times, but it has been a long time and its beauty still amazed me. MoSh stood there looking at the canyon for a while. I told him we had better get going if we were going to find the cave before one of us woke up. I took MoSh by the hand and jumped off the edge of the canyon wall. We both flew down into the canyon. I wasn't sure where to find the entrance to this hidden city. I remembered Lonewolf saying something about tornados guarding the entrance… so a wind elemental. But hadn't he also said the tornado was an ally? But an ally to who? An ally to peaceful visitors? An ally to the people who used to live in the city? I wasn't really sure what that meant… MoSh and I flew low in the canyon for a while. I looked at the sides of the canyon. I didn't see any signs of wind elementals or of suspicious caves. I wondered if we were even going the right direction. I landed on the ground and looked around for a bit. This really stank… where would I go now? I looked over at MoSh. He was over by the river. I went over to see MoSh. MoSh was skipping rocks. I tried to get his attention. He looked over at me and said hello. I asked if he was still lucid. He said sure. I didn't think he was acting like himself. But I was still confused on how to find this city. And about who this wind elemental ally was... or had I read it wrong? Tornado alley? Lots of tornados? Wait a minute… there's no tornado alley in the Grand Canyon! That wouldn't make any sense! I was running out of ideas… the canyon is a huge place. I wasn't going find the cave by looking around like that. I had to use a different approach. I went over to MoSh and told him I was going to try something different. I took hold of both of MoSh's hands and focused on teleportation. It isn't my strong point, but I wasn't sure how else to track the cave down. So I focused on teleportation, also focusing on taking MoSh with me. I focused on what I wanted to find even though I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for. I focused on it, and for a bit it seemed like nothing was going to happen. MoSh was giving me a strange look as I was holding both of his hands. He gave me a strange smile. Then the teleportation worked. The scene around MoSh and me completely shifted. MoSh and I were floating over water… and I had not realized we would be floating. We both dropped into the water with a splash. Both of us came to the surface. I floated out of the water and into the air, MoSh followed me. We were now looking directly at a cave in the canyon wall. We floated over to the cave and landed right in the entrance. It was dark inside the cave. I wondered how far back into the canyon wall it went. MoSh and I followed the passage back into the passage. It got dark rather quickly. I summoned a light and we continued going back farther. The passage also seemed to be slanted down. I saw writing on the sides of the passage that looked like ancient hieroglyphics. The passage finally ended in a circular room. More passages led off in all directions. There were beautiful carvings, statues, other assorted artifacts. I looked at one of the statues. It looked more like an Egyptian artifact than what I had expected. I hadn't really been sure what I was expecting, but I think I was expecting something related to native American culture. I looked at some of the artifacts there and then we just kind of chose a passage at random and headed down it. I had no idea where it went or if we might get completely lost, but it didn't really matter since we were dreaming. I looked at some hieroglyphics on the wall. I wished I knew what some of it meant, but none of it means anything to me MoSh and I explored the caverns for a while longer until I realized he was gone. I figured he had woken up. It wasn't very long after that when I woke up.
I was on such a roll when I started my dream journal just over a month ago. Unfortunately it seems the extra sleep I've been getting due to being extremely drowsy from taking anti-histamines for my hay-fever has not brought with it any extra dream recall. In fact the opposite is true; I've had very poor dream recall! The 3 dreams I recalled during that period were actually quite embarrassing -- even embarrassing enough for me to not want to post them anonymously on the internet! I'll leave you guessing... Anyway, onward and upward and hopefully to lucidity and beyond! Driving Scares Me I can't drive in real life. Actually, it seems I can't drive in my dreams either... I was driving. I had just learned to drive, I think. The break and accelerator peddles didn't seem to work right. The break was more like a decelerator than a break. I was driving around, not having a clue how to drive. I kept having near misses with other cars. At one point I was driving over the a bridge near my house and wasn't sure if I should be on the left or right side of the road because I was on the left (which is correct here in the UK) and saw a car coming head on, so I switched to driving on the right and saw a car coming head on again. Stupid roads. I've always avoided learning to drive because the entire concept freaks me out a little. I've been thinking about it a lot lately though. I should really just get on with it. My Hypnagogic Parents This is a bit of a cheat since it's not a dream but a really long drawn out experience with hypnagogic hallucinations. I'm noting this down because my experience with them so far have been pretty simple. This it teh first time I've heard a large amount of whispering voices and felt presences nearby. Anyway, I awoke early on Saturday and decided to have a lie in. As I slowly fell back to sleep I heard my mum walking around in my room, but I was aware that nobody was really there and that I was actually falling asleep. She started talking nonsense in a kind of whisper. Suddenly I couldn't hear her any more. Then I heard footsteps outside my door walking up the stairs. I could hear my dad whispering nonsense. Then he was silent. Next I heard my mum walking up the stairs whispering nonsense and then fading away. Again it was my dad, then my mum, and so on for what seemed like a very long time. The nonsense they were whispering was just random sentences, none of which I can now remember other than that there was something about ponies uttered by my dad's whispering voice.

04.07.2010Work work (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Well... still dreaming about work... but I do not complain. Recalling 3-4 dreams every single day and 2-3 lucids every week is awesome. Once more, I went very late to bed, so got fragments. First dream of the night: - Olive Oil store. - Something about our store club. - I was in the club profile from one of our customers. - I also joined the club as I would get the club discount plus the employee discount. - I was worried about the payments, now is not the best moment for that. - New Olive Oil: It was called Onix. It was an Olive Oil with wine. Good work daily residue! Onix is a brand of red wine. - Second new Olive Oil: I forgot the name, but it was Olive Oil plus another type of wine. - I wanted a couple of bottles of Rotture Di Oro. - It was daylight. - There was dust somewhere.
I was outside my house. I looked around and saw the desert around me. Nothing looked out of place, it looked the same as my waking life. I was hot due to the fact it is the desert and it is summer. I wanted to go back inside where it would be cool. I walked back over to the house and tried to go inside. The front door was locked. Wtf? Why was I locked out of the house. I went around to the back side of the house and found the two doors on the back of the house were also locked. Damn! I tried to think where we keep the emergency key hidden, in case one of us needs to get inside and has no keys. I couldn't remember. I looked around, under rocks, under pots, everywhere I could think of that the key might be hidden. No key. Damn… my mother must have taken the key in. So by now I was really hot. I wanted to get somewhere cooler. I really needed to cool off. I went to the front yard where there is a small pond with a few fish in it. I found it was dry. There was no water in it, and several dead fish were on the bottom. The plastic bottom of the pond was cracked and splitting as if it had been empty for years. I walked away from the dry pond and over to the gate at the end of our driveway. The gate was lying on the ground. I walked down the road a ways. Sooooo hot… I saw some trees all together that gave a nice amount of shade. That would have to do. I went over to the trees. I could feel cool air coming from under the trees. I got down under the tree. The foliage was so thick that I couldn't see through it, but there was a small hole through the plants. I crawled into that hole to immerse myself in the coolness. The hole went on forever… this was weird… and it got me curious as to where it could lead… I kept crawling and emerged in another place where it was dark. Night time? And I wasn't in a desert… I stood up and did a RC… I was dreaming! I walked across the meadow for a ways until I reached a small rocky hill. I looked up into the rocky area. I was getting a weird feeling about the area. I had the feeling I was being watched. I looked around a bit, looking mostly towards the rocky hills because they provided so many places to hide. I was scanning the hills when I heard movement behind me. I turned quickly, activating my Witchblade sword in case I was attacked. I paused once I was turned around and then put my Witchblade sword away. I was being followed, but I was being followed by MoSh, not an enemy. MoSh said it looked like I was still mad at him. I looked around a bit more… the bad feeling hadn't left me just because I had identified MoSh. I responded to him in a quiet tone, saying I wasn't particularly upset right now… but this place was giving me the creeps. He asked if the Templars had been attacking me again. I said the Templars were all dead. That was where my negative energy had gone. At least they're useful for something… It looked like MoSh was about to say something else, but he never got the chance. Someone apparently thought it was necessary to prove me wrong about all the Templars being dead… There was movement in the rocks. Templars emerged from the rocks. There were about 20 of them… not many at all. This would be easy. I formed my Witchblade sword and attacked them. They attacked. Some of them had weapons that looked like futuristic laser weapons, others had swords. I attacked them. Cut through one and ran my sword through another. I saw Templars attacking MoSh… I also saw him kicking the shit out of them. This fight was over quickly. The Templars were lying around us, dead. The bodies quickly disappeared as they woke up. "Ok…" I said to MoSh, "Now all of the Templars are dead," MoSh was going to say something again. I felt the dream slipping away. I tried to focus on dilating time. I told MoSh I was about to wake up… but I would try dilation… but I never even got a chance to get focused before everything faded and I woke.

★★★ dreams from the other night Checking on Asuka I remember being in the hallway of my dream house. I remember asuka said she was going to bed and she entered a room. A while later I was worried that someone might try to kidnap her. I went into the room and turned on the light, i saw asuka lying on the floor sleeping. She opened her eyes and looked at me. victor i'm in my house and victor is sitting at some computers. I keep thinking he's the Victor who teaches japanese on youtube. I keep wanting to ask him what he uses for a video cam and microphone for his mac. I now have a mac and want to know what will work properly on mine. Last night Jay I was walking down a street in chilliwack with an old friend. We were catching up on our stories. We also talked about some of our old doings. movie My dad is driving the family truck down the main highway by my town. I am in the backseat, my brother is in the passenger seat. I have no seatbelt and I'm worried that We will get into an accident. The highway looks funny... It's completely black and we go up and down many steep hills with the other traffic. We enter a town. My brother says he has to go somewhere and he leaves. Me and my dad are left outside a mall. There's a movie theater in the mall and we look at some movies that we might see. One movie is actually a series of action movies. i remember something like "X" from the title. Mom I go to calgary to look for my mother. I find her in the apartment she has, but her room is set up in the hallway. She tells me everything is fine but i can tell she is lying Cacophony My brother is driving down a country road. I am in the passenger seat. I spot a town where cacophony lives. for some reason i think she lives in a town close by in alberta. I ask my brother why we are going there instead of to my home. He says he just wants to see something there in this town. As we enter the town I spot a Trail made from mulch going through a park. I have memories of talking to cacophony about this trail, she was teling me how she used to walk it all the time. Our car turns on a streat that goes in a circle. I recognize her house on the street, it's a tall wooden house painted white. I can't remember if we went in THAT house or another one, but the next thing I remember is that I'm in a house walking down a circular hallway. The character that was my brother is now a female guide showing me around the house. I walk by many portraits and photos on the wall. We continue to walk and I see a woman with brown hair staring at me. At one point the guide is talking to that person. I lean against a door and it opens. I notice it's a bathroom and someone's inside. I quickly close the door and continue following the guide. I come across a windiing stair case that matches the contours of the wall. I see a portrait of cacophy there, and also a small black and white photo of another girl right beside it. I become lucid but everything gets fuzzy. I also had another fragment where i was with cacophony but i can't recall it.
