    1. Night 4, journey to the Crossroads:Almost there...2/20/10

      by , 06-28-2010 at 03:03 PM (INeverWakeUp's Super Dream Journal)
      I was lucid! Ya! But I still didn't make it. I was close. I followed through with the plan, but some people tried to steal my car, so I got caught up in the action and woke up before I could go. Nuts!

    2. Night 3, journey to the Crossroads. The third disaster...2/18/10

      by , 06-28-2010 at 03:02 PM (INeverWakeUp's Super Dream Journal)
      NO! I once again was not lucid. My journey was a disaster again! So anyway, we were traveling across a snowy tundra, up to a volcano we had to travel over. There were many chasms along the way, so we used jet-packs. On the downside, the snowy weather made our jet-packs malfunction. So many of us fell down the chasms. By the time we made it to the volcano, we realized it was far too dangerous to advance. So we had to once again postpone the journey. Ugh.

    3. Night 2, journey to the Crossroads...2/15/10

      by , 06-28-2010 at 03:01 PM (INeverWakeUp's Super Dream Journal)
      I once again failed to make it to the Crossroads. I once again failed to do so because, I wasn't lucid!!!! If I was, I probably would have made it. So, once again I started at school. This time, no one stopped me because school had just ended. So, me and some friends went on to travel. We had to journey through many snowy trenches. We were soon attacked by dinosaurs. WTF? So, because of no lucidity, I didn't do anything to get past them. About 3 or 4 of my friends got eaten too. Ugh. So, we went back, when I could have just summoned a bazooka, a tank, a radio to call in an air strike, or I could have just teleported us the heck out of there. My original plan made yesterday before bed was: Get lucid (obviously), do the spinning method, change the setting, and then turn the corner (I will change the setting to an empty street), and I will know that a wormhole leading to the Crossroads will be there. But no, 0% lucidity. I will try my best to get lucid tonight. Read Night 3, journey to the Crossroads for more (hopefully) news on my epic journey. (Dumb unlucidity.)

    4. Night 1, journey to the Crossroads...2/14/10(More older dreams I found)

      by , 06-28-2010 at 03:00 PM (INeverWakeUp's Super Dream Journal)
      Sorry to bring you all down who are reading this, but I did not get too far on the first part of my journey. I started off in my school, and I knew I had to start my journey. She wouldn't let me leave. On the downside, and didn't try to overpower her because I wasn't lucid. So, later I left without permission. I ended up getting stuck at a party. So I had to play guitar. My teacher caught up to me and gave me detention. WTF? So now I was P.O. In detention I decided to help some of my other friends in detention prepare for the school talent show. They were playing 'Before the Lobotomy' by Green Day. So, in the end, thanks to 0% lucidity, I got nowhere, but in detention! WTF? Read Night 2, journey to the crossroads for more news on my journey. Mabye tonight I'll be lucid. Don't worry, it will be more interesting...hopefully.

    5. thestrangestyetcoolestdre ams...2/12/10(First LD I had after joining!)

      by , 06-28-2010 at 02:56 PM (INeverWakeUp's Super Dream Journal)
      Hey DV! I just happened to stumble upon my older DJs from when I first joined, so here's some dreams! I'll have more on the way.



      I had the strangest dream last nite. I was dreming lucidly, but my control was weary. I was, or so I think, in a mall. There was two people with guns. I had to do something, or be killed. So, I tried to jump really high. I couldn't do it though. As the site said to, I believed hard enough. So then, I started to fly! I flew up to the the second floor overlooking balcony. Then, I made a sniper rifle appear. I also tried to make a bazooka appear, but I was in too much of a hurry and only made star wars blaster appear. I stopped the men and made it out.

    6. June 28 2010 - Katamari Damacy, Odd Friends, and a Shitload of FAs

      by , 06-28-2010 at 02:53 PM (Mah Journal)
      I think my chain of dreams started in a dream where I was at some random person's house. I have clue who she is, but if I recall correctly, she was asian. I was at her house, and we were trying to find something to do. We went upstairs to her bedroom and started to play some video games.

      I then ended up watching a Katamari Damacy game. It was a 2 play game. Both of the katamaris were started at the top of this giant hill of stuff. Most of it resembled a bunch of cafes and shops on this giant mountain. I followed it down as it tumbled along the side and picked up random things: chairs, people, tables, food, trees, rocks, and anything else in its way.

      In the next dream I was on some random ranch. At first I was with my friends among all of these random horses. This person said that we could ride for a short bit before we had to do something else. I asked if we could ride bareback since it was pointless to groom and tack them if there was only a short time. They said it was ok, and told us to get the bridles.

      Later on, I ended up roaming around the vast property with only me and this silver horse. I would walk around a bit with her and sort of sling myself onto her back when she wasn't expecting it. She had neither saddle nor bridle on (but for some reason, a lead rope). I think I was trying to find people or something. The dream was long.

      My last dream was in my bedroom. It was like a bunch of FAs. I kept waking up to look at the clock. I had to get out of bed at around 10:30 at the latest. The first time I looked it was about 9:00; the second time it was past 11:30. I was pissed. I quickly got up and grabbed a half rotten banana and called EM and told her I would be there as soon as possible. I then went to find a granola bar. When I glanced inside the box, there were 2 bars, but they were opened and kind of melted into each other. I shook my head in frustration and grabbed the one with more chocolate chips. I then texted EM something because she had hung up on me too soon. Eventually I woke IRL and realized it was only 7:15 (phew!).

    7. First Lucid Dream

      by , 06-28-2010 at 02:37 PM
      I can see the back of my eyes, I perform a nose RC and wow! i can breathe. I get up, lifting my blankets off me from the left to the right, look up and see my computer on the other end of the room and my blankets on the bed. It feels odd, my field of view seems increased. I get up and stand on the right of my bed.

      Determined not to lose lucidity this time I use a method I read on here to keep it going, effectively trying out all 5 senses one at a time. After doing this I think it would be fun to make my blanket smell like strawberries... this works to a small extent, it was a sort of weak smell but was surely there.
      It's night-time and I don't want my first lucid to consist of me getting eaten so i close the curtains, look the other way, look back and its daytime. This causes a slight loss of control and i find it hard to move myself, I shout at myself that this is "my f**king dream" but seem to have no luck. In an attempt to get out of this state i fly (without opening the window?) outside, and start shouting, about how "im freakin lucid" I do several passes of my house before flying to my first school (must have time skipped since it was almost instant)
      I decide to try and give myself "super strength" to break a branch off a tree. Rather than give me super strength the branch seemed to become all moldy as if it was trying to give me an excuse to break.
      I fly for about 10 more seconds then crash into a roof, I try flying again but now cant.

      I decide i need a Dream guide so summon a couple of DC's I see them running towards me all wearing turquoise.
      I pick one to be my guide (my plan is to make this DC recurring).
      This is where I lose control completely, one of the DC's (one that i didn't even pick!) starts talking to me about insanely boring stuff, about how she will be working with my dad. I notice shes got one hell of a mono-brow.
      I Lie down and instantly think "big mistake" as i feel dragged back to reality.

    8. June 27, 2010

      by , 06-28-2010 at 12:55 PM (Whirlwind of Dreams)
      Don't STOP at the STOP Sign:
      Well, I think I was the one driving a vehicle and up ahead was a stop sign. There was a passenger with me, but, can't recall any details. I stopped at the stop sign but then the car wouldn't move. We had to get out to try and push it.

      Thoughts: I had a couple more dreams that I should have recalled but when I woke up, my brain was sooo scrambled with the different dreams that I was lucky to even catch this one I wasn't able to think straight and even when I tried to recall the others, I was getting blanks. Doesn't help my recall that I had to get out of bed and didn't have as much time as I wanted to try and recall some more. Interesting enough, lately I noticed that it seems that whenever I recall a dream, I should write it down instanteously otherwise I will forget it. It was never the case before

    10. Log 4

      by , 06-28-2010 at 11:51 AM (World of Kaos)
      Dancing in a grocery store parking lot with random girls. Lost my sunglasses in a strangers caravan. Watched a documentary about one of david spades famous comedy lines about a man who dressed in a mermaid outfit who would appear in a big sail boat coming out of the depths of the sea near a beach.

      _______

      Dream involved being a police officer and walking down the street while talking to a female officer. I dropped my keys. It begins snowing. We go to my neighbors house for sour and sweet twizzlers and a cup of hot chocolate. My neighbor heats of the hot chocolate with an electric powered heated plate that he plugged into a wall. Me and the female officer head back to my place, but for some reason most of my clothes are gone and it is frigid cold outside from the snow.

      _______

      Dream had something to do with lucid dream, but was not an LD. I forget what it was about.

    11. The current status of my dream world.

      by , 06-28-2010 at 10:01 AM (Soup, delicious soup. Also my dream journal...)
      I don't know if anyone elses "dream world" is like this, but if I change something in one dream, it tends to stay the same in the dreams that follow. If it doesn't it's just in a different area of the world. I'm not saying my dreams are linear or tell a complete story, but things carry over.

      Anyway, the point of this entry is to tell the current state of common locations and people in my dream world.

      Average Dream Charactors: They don't dislike me, but they lie to me about random things. Like what their name is or
      or what day it is.

      Important Dream Charactors (IE: IRL friends and family): Nothing special. They act exactly how they act IRL.

      Homeless Guy (possible DG): The only DC who can fly, tells the truth consistantly, and is aware that its a dream.

      The City: A large, unnamed city where most of my LDs occur. My current goal is to destroy it. I have not yet figured out a good way to do this and I usually get sidetracked.

      The Shivering Isles: A location in a DLC for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. A very fun place to go to in a LD. Look on wikipedia if you haven't played it.

      Well that's about it. I will update if anything substantial changes.

    12. 3 nights ago (LD #7 :D)

      by , 06-28-2010 at 07:06 AM (Soup, delicious soup. Also my dream journal...)
      i don't remember the beginning, but what I do remember starts here:
      I was chasing after the guy who broke into my house. someone recently broke into my house and stole my Xbox and I'm REALLY pissed I realized I could just hold the attack button and do a dashing move to catch him. Oblivion's the only game i have on my PC. Needless to say Ive been playing it a lot lol. I hit him to the ground and flipped him over to see who it was, (I think one of my old "friends" stole my xbox, but I'm not quite sure.) only to find out he had no face. At first I was like "WTF", but then I realized I must be dreaming. I did my normal dream stabilize routine then took flight headed for the city. My current goal is still to burn it to the ground. When I got there a homeless guy called me over to his street corner. I'd seen him in previous dreams. He asked me if I knew I was dreaming. I answered yes and he said he had something to show me. We flew (so far he is the only DC I've seen fly) to the Shivering Isles. As we were walking through the realm of Mania we came a cross a giant camel spider. I am horribly arachnophobic especially with camel spider. I started to run, but the guy told me to help him fight it. Suddenly realizing I had a sword, I charged and began to attack the beast with the help of my new friend (and possible DG...?). After that we kept walking; he said he had something to show me at New Sheoth Palace, but befor we could get there, I woke up.

      Now that i think about it he looked kind of like Sheogorath with a much bigger beard
    13. Three dreams last night

      by , 06-28-2010 at 06:33 AM (Languid Dreams)
      Three dreams last night that I remember - much better than it has been lately. None of them were lucid, but they were all very vivid....of course, I've been so busy today I haven't had a chance to write, so some of this will be more abridged than the dream really was.

      I am at a wedding, helping to prepare the reception room. There are many people milling about, and I am setting a table. I see my friend from 10 years ago, and start to talk to her. As we are talking, about what I'm not sure, my cousin approaches me. We do not have a good relationship. She starts to call me all sorts of derogatory names, saying that I ruined her life and her reputation. I tell her she did that herself with the choices that she made. Other people at the wedding lead us away from each other, and I find myself walking along a rocky beach, with the reception building up above on a cliff. My cousin follows me down the steps and again starts to argue with me, saying that she is going to tell everyone what I am really like and that she is going to destroy my standing in the family. I tell her that she is welcome to try, and that even if everyone takes her side, I don't care, because I know what is right and wrong. I wake up feeling very, very tense.

      Next, I am on the run from someone, something. Very "24"-esque. I am not myself - I am a man, though I don't know my name. I duck into an alleyway and lift up the curtain of a street vendor who is there to see what is going on inside the building I am near. I decide to take shelter in the building.

      Inside, there is an auditorium full of people, and the lights are dimmed. As I walk in, there are several guards by every doorway, and one of them hands me a device. It reminds me of the neck of a guitar, though with the consistency of blown glass. There is a larger end on one end of it, and it does not seem to be fragile. As I look around, I see that everyone has one of these devices, and they are all an odd, sickly shade of pinkish orange. I take a seat in the back row of the auditorium and watch. A man stands in the front and the lights fade, and he tells the room that we are about to start the challenge. The challenge is to survive. The devices that we have are really weapons, fired like guns, though they are nearly silent, only making a small, quiet "pop" sound, as though the air has been slightly disturbed. He tells us we are to hunt one another until the last person is standing. At this point, I believe that they don't remember I am here, and duck down so I can not be seen in the back. The man states that if we do not fight, we must kill ourselves, and then commands someone in the room to demonstrate. A spotlight falls on the man, who places the device to his mouth and activates it, but nothing happens. The man at the front tells him he must have his eyes open for it to work as a suicide device - the man opens his eyes, uses the device, and falls over dead.

      The melee begins. I do not want to take part in this group extermination. I slip out the back of the room into a stairwell, and climb quickly to the top. There are three doors. I pick the lock on one that leads to a landing over a long drop into a service shaft. I pull the door behind me and hold the knob so that as people approach it, they believe that it is locked. I know this will work, as it seems that the players are abiding by some sort of rules. Several people try the door. After a while, I slip down into the service shaft and hang by my fingers, the odd device held in my left hand, waiting for someone to come through the door. They never come.

      I enter the hallway and make my way to the rooftop. There are bodies everywhere. I sense some following me, but they don't catch up. On the roof, a zeppelin flies down, and I climb aboard. Another zeppelin gives chase, but they are weighed down with elephants for some reason and can't keep up.
      At no point did I ever question this reality or was I able to wake myself up in the dream. Ah well.

      And last, this fragment - I work in a pet store, and I am trying to transfer a beta fish to a new tank, however this process is unusually complicated. I have to use a piping tube to siphon the water from his current tank into a bag, chill the water to nearly freezing, and then pipe it to a new tank. Somewhere in this process, it starts to fall apart, and I have to save the fish and the babies that are now in the water as well. I reach in with my hand to move the babies, and can feel them squirming in my palm as i lift them from one tank to another safely.

      Trying DIELD again tonight, maybe I'll find some lucidity.

    14. 06/25/10 Look for Castaneda, Find Graboids?!

      by , 06-28-2010 at 06:13 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      I felt my dream slipping, too, so I did the time dilation trick I learned from Allura, causing the dream to stabilize. Good… at least that seemed somewhat consistent… So my next goal was to go see MoSh… I focused on opening a portal… I opened a portal and went through it into MoSh's inner world…

      I stepped out into MoSh's inner world and looked around for MoSh. I looked at his house which was where I have come to expect to see it. I instinctively knew it was his, but it didn't seem to look the same. It was hard to describe the differences… and it wasn't negative in any way, everything was still very nice, it was just a bit different. I didn't have to go over to the door, MoSh came out to me. He asked if I was ready to go view the scene with Castaneda. I said sure, but I did need to be sure of where we were going. MoSh said that was no problem, he would get us there. I could open the portal, and he would guide it. I said that was fine with me, and then I opened a portal, focusing on letting MoSh guide it. When it opened, both MoSh and I went through…

      On the other side we were in a desert. I looked around the desert. The sun was bright and hot. I was a bit surprised at the surroundings. I told MoSh I thought there was supposed to be a waterfall or something… MoSh said there was. I said I didn't see any water anywhere near us… He looked perplexed. He said we must have ended up in the wrong place. I told him we could just try again. I was going to focus on another portal when the ground started to shake. Some big things erupted out of the ground. They looked like the graboid creatures from the movie Tremors… and there were two of them.

      What the fuck? MoSh looked up at them, and they completely distracted me from opening a portal. One of them tried to grab me in its enormous mouth, apparently thinking I would make a good snack. I formed Witchblade into a sword and attacked it back, getting up on top of its back by flying. MoSh had changed into his naga form and was attacking the other one. This thing didn't have a head to cut off… but it also didn't appreciate being stabbed with a sword that increased in length to be long enough to go all of the way through it. The thing took off at full speed across the desert with me on its back, holding on to the sword to keep from being thrown off. I pulled the sword out and jumped off of the graboid, hitting the ground and rolling before returning to MoSh.

      I didn't see the other graboid, but I didn't know where it had gone. MoSh was in his human form again. I asked if he was ready to stop playing with giant underground worms and go do our viewing. He said yes. I was about to open a portal when I saw something around MoSh's feet… a smaller graboid?!

      It wrapped around MoSh's foot, but I just cut it off . A couple more of them reached out of the ground for us, but MoSh and I quickly took care of them. Now MoSh was looking at something behind me. I wondered what. He wasn't saying anything, he was just pointing. I turned around to look behind me and I saw the granddaddy of all graboids was rearing up and towering over us… that thing was about twice the size of the other ones, and it was pissed off.

      It was towering over us about as big as the tower at the biodome… which is quite tall… I was considering what action would be best to deal with this… most likely to just open a portal and leave it be, after all, this was the graboids' home, not ours… when someone appeared… and he created some kind of spinning disc blades from the air, cutting the graboid down… He asked if we were ok, MoSh was staring at him like he thought it was an alien from space. I looked closer and thought I recognized him… but I couldn't place it… I thanked him for helping, then he disappeared.

      MoSh wanted to know what the fuck that was. I said I wasn't sure, but I thought I had recognized that guy… I said let's go before we draw the attention of every single graboid on the planet. I opened a portal and we went through it… we ended up back in MoSh's inner world. Ok… let's try that again. I focused on opening a portal, trying to remember what MoSh had told me the location was like. I remembered a waterfall… but that was all I remembered! Dammit! A portal opened, MoSh and I went through it.

      MoSh and I were back on the desert planet. Ok… I hadn't been completely sure of where I was going, but I had absolutely not focused on coming here again… I looked around, wondering if I could find any reason why we were here again! There were more graboids. I didn't really want to fight more graboids… I had drawn the conclusion this was their world, and we were the intruders, so I thought avoiding them would be best. I got MoSh's attention as the graboid attacked us, also apparently thinking we looked like a tasty morsel. I pulled MoSh out of the way. The graboid turned and was coming at us again… then it got nailed with a bunch of ice spears, and it disappeared. Wtf? I looked around and saw the same guy I had seen before, giving us a dirty look. I focused on recognizing him… Walms! I did know him! I was about to say something to him when he asked why we had been attacked. I was going to say we looked too much like graboid snack food when the scene around us shifted…

      MoSh was getting quite frustrated. He was upset that we hadn't ended up viewing the Castaneda scene we had been aiming for. I wondered what kept getting in the way. I wondered where Walms had gone… or rather where we had gone. I wondered if whoever had teleported us had also teleported Walms… I looked around, wondering if there were any graboids here… then Walms was there with us. Ok, well at least he was in the same place. He came over closer to us and proceeded to give me some dark energy… um… I didn't really need any dark energy, but ok… He put dark energy in MoSh…

      "Hey!" I said to him, "What did you do that…" and then he was gone, "for… um… Never mind." I went over to MoSh and focused on taking the dark energy out of MoSh, replacing it with light. Why had Walms attacked MoSh? That didn't make any sense… I thought MoSh and Walms had been friends since quite a while before I started talking to / sharing dreams with Walms… MoSh looked a bit disoriented. He asked what that had been. I told him he'd gotten dark energy, I had taken it out. It felt like the dream was slipping again. I remembered that last time I had been unable to do a second time dilation, so this time I didn't even try. I told MoSh I was waking up. I opened a portal back to his inner world. We went through it. MoSh said maybe he could dilate time… I told him I had already done that in this dream, and last time it hadn't worked twice… He said he was going to try anyway. I don't know if it worked for him or not because I woke.
    15. 06/25/10 Streets of Rome

      by , 06-28-2010 at 04:46 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Note: My goals to begin with my WILD were to go check on Tigress… she thought there might be something strange around her somewhere, then go see MoSh, he wanted to go view a section of a Castaneda book having something to do with Castaneda and a waterfall and manipulating one's energy body IWL. We tried doing this before, but it didn't seem to work, and after hearing the part about manipulating one's energy body IWL, I was even more interested in trying it again. I had these goals in mind as I fell asleep and slipped into a WILD…

      I was in a different place. I looked around and decided it looked like ancient Rome. I didn't recognize the exact location, but I figured this was where I would find Tigress. I started exploring the area. It wasn't too long before I found Tigress. She looked like she had been waiting for me. I went over to her and asked how she was doing. She pointed down the street to a narrow space between two buildings. She said they had gone over there. I asked what had gone over there. She said it was bugs. Bugs? I said there was a shit load of bugs around there. She said they were dark energy bugs, and they had been spinning fucking dark energy webs. Spiders? No, not spiders, but they were spinning webs… She said it was about time I had gotten there… she had thought she would have to clean the entire place up all by herself.

      I went over towards the place Tigress had indicated. I looked down the passage between the buildings. There were indeed bugs down there. They were large bugs. Each bug was about the size of a house cat! They were spinning a sort of thing that maybe could be called a web, they were creating thick ropes of a strange and disgusting sticky black substance. They were hanging those rope type webs all over the place. And the stuff stank. It smelled like a decaying corpse that had been tossed into the filthiest sewer ever and left there to marinate for a while… the smell alone almost made me ill. I ignored the stench and focused on the bugs. The walls of the alley were covered with the black goop. When covered with goop the walls seemed to come to life and move… not normal… I focused on the song Fuel by Metallica, which is a song I normally use to absorb energy… and now I used it to absorb the dark energy. Using that song I was able to pull all of the dark energy from the alley and from the bugs.

      So for the rest of this dream, Tigress and I searched the rest of the area and got rid of more of the intruding bug things. During the times while I was searching I could not help but notice that the dream was very vivid. If I hadn't been lucid, it would have been really easy for me to think I had somehow traveled back in time to be in Rome… it all looked so vivid and detailed… not like a dream at all. After searching the place for a while, I came back and met Tigress near one particular house that seemed to be lost in a mist. Tigress said that was ok, it was supposed to be like that. I said fine, and I thought I had found all of the strange bugs and black goop on my end of the search area. I definitely had enough dark energy for a while. Tigress said I wasn't the only one. She laughed a bit. I told Tigress I had other plans, but if she wanted to do a DDO dream now, those other plans could wait. She said yay, we could finally do a DDO dream! And this time she was going to remember… she disappeared. Crap. That always seems to happen when things get good.

      I felt my dream slipping, too, so I did the time dilation trick I learned from Allura, causing the dream to stabilize.
