Wal-Mart Manager Me (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I walk into wall-mart and into the freezer section where my little brother works. (He does not work in wall-mart! And he is too young!)It's in the back right part of the store instead of near the front. I walk up to his manager and say hello. She looks exhausted! She tells me she's going to have to fire my brother and that she is quitting too. She asks me if I want to be manager and I don't answer - I'm too dumbfounded. I don't like the fact that my brother is getting fired, but I do need a job. So unwillingly I take it. (Wouldn't do that in real life...) Then they asked if my mom wanted Toby's job, I knew that she was looking for a job so I said yes. I walked over to where Toby was, he was feeding some sharks in a little tank! I hung out with him for a little while, but then I had to tell him the bad news. He took it well, he even seemed happy.

Since mum hadn't started work yet, the woman who gave me her position sent another worker in to cover mum's shift for the day. We started working. More like, I watched. I wasn't aloud to do anything other than supervise. I hated that, so I protested and told her I wanted to help. She said "oh no, you'll have plenty to do later."

That didn't sound very promising to me. So I hung around and I started thinking, "what if mom doesn't want the job?"

"I bet she doesn't," I said to my self. So I asked if the higher-ups if I could call her and ask, but before I can even do that they convince me to just let a girl named Andee/Andy take the job. And so Andy came and took over the shift with me. So now I'm working with Andy instead of the woman who was covering the shift.

Our boss comes into watch. I'm sitting in a very ridged/masculine position with my chin resting on my fist, sitting a bit hunched over.

"Psst! Be you're self! Relax a little!" And says when our boss isn't looking. She imitates me position mockingly.

"I am being my self, I'm just weird like that," I said then blushed. When our boss turned back around she was mumbling about the trash man, complaining about him taking too many breaks. She told me she should go get a uniform for me.

"I prefer to wear the cloths I have on if it's okay," I said shyly. I got a bit bored, so I turn around and push the blinds out of the way so I could look out the window. The trash man angrily whispers at me to "not be so rough with the blinds." So I gently move the blinds out of my way and look out. What I see is disturbing, my mom was in the lap of another man - kissing him! Then I noticed I was holding the blinds too hard again, so I let go. And got a death glare from the trash man.

I'm not sure what happens after that.

It took long enough, but I finally managed to complete my goal to run real fast without destabilizing the dream.

It started off with me being in a small shack. This building was tiny, probably only five by five feet, and made from strips of wood tiled vertically. There was practically no room to move around in because there were old desks and chairs shoved against the walls. I exited rather quickly to see the outside of the shack. The roof was ready to collapse and looked like it was made from really decayed metal. It sort of looked like the following picture, minus the snow and trees.

The shack was on the side of a beautiful light gravel road, lodged somewhere in the mountains with many trees, like the picture below.

However, the trees were curving over the road and blotting out most of the sky. The scenery still looked very pretty though. I spent some time looking around, and even went to one tree right next to the shack to look at an ant... But I gained lucidity, so I stopped wasting my time looking at bugs. I remembered my dream goal almost immediately. "I should try running again," I said out loud. I'd already failed once, so I was itching to complete this goal. "There's a good pathway... this might help me."

I broke into a light sprint and the trees began to tremble slightly; a few small leaves were falling off them. I leaned forward more and imagined myself rocketing forward. It worked, and I was now going very, very fast. To be safe, I didn't even consider the fact that the dream could destabilize, even though the imagery around me was becoming stretched like taffy. I stopped, closed my eyes for a second, and opened them. I was in the shack again without lucidity.

My dad and I are walking the streets of Covington, KY, and talking about what I call "middle English" slang after he uses the word "gazooks!" However, in the dream I understand "middle English" to be Wild West or Industrial Revolution times. I make a joke that we're going back to 1865, like the cast of "Back to the Future" visited the frontier. Exactly after I do so, we find ourselves walking in the Covington of the past. It looks like a typical frontier mining town, and we go on a quest to find his grandfather who is living there. We interact with the bums to find this information, and eventually are led to a saloon. Both of us sit at a rather uncrowded long table, and I request a hard cider. The pretty barmaid smirks at me and says "Take off your glasses, Mr. Mafoy," with the unspoken assumption that they make me look younger than legal drinking age.

Wow, first real entry into the new DJ system! As you surely have noticed, I've moved ALL of my last DJ into this one. If you want to read those, just look for posts tagged 'archive', or that have 'ARCHIVE:' as the beginning of the title. I've also made a new 'welcome' page, but unfortunately it has already been lost amid all the other posts...I was kind of hoping I could set it to appear as the first page everyone sees, but it doesn't look like that is possible (yet). Anyway, for what it's worth, feel free to visit the welcome page!

Unfortunately, I don't get to start off with some big, awesome post. But since my dream recall is getting quite shabby I need to write what I remember and start building that back up. Next time I have a lucid dream I don't want to forget all the details!

The beginning of the dream is a blur. I didn't stay in one area or storyline for very long; even though it was all one dream, without any level of lucidity whatsoever I was subject to the whims of my sleeping mind, which seemed to take me all over the place. One moment I was in a futuristic setting, the next a medieval, and the next something like real life. I can't remember what I was doing in the first two settings...I can only vaguely remember the face of another person in each one.

However, I do remember something of what happened in the FA-ish place. I was looking at pictures from the medieval place I had just been, when the phone rang. It was a woman I shall refer to as Jane Doe. (she's from real life, and in real life I care about her a lot, hence my mind put her in the dream) She was returning a call I had made to ask if she wanted to go out together with me. Said she was free on Monday at 3:50 (don't ask why that exact time; I don't know). Fine and good, right? Almost. Her father was also on the phone, and apparently yanked it out of her hand and started yelling at me for taking his daughter away from him. She quickly grabbed the phone back and told me not to pay attention. That didn't really help calm down her dad, though. Eventually she had to just assure me that it would be alright and she'd be there at 3:50...and then had to hang up.

After that I walked off to do something...and next thing I know, I'm waking up.

Definitely not the best dream night ever.

Enter Walms (DILD)

★★★★☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My brother explodes in a puff of flame and smoke, leaving behind two flaming eyes that fizzled out after a moment or two.

"Burmes? Is that you?"

"Yes," states a disembodied voice.

"Oh, okay. Hey, can you help me find Walms?"

There was a pause before he replied. "Yeah, sure."

"Cool, thank you."

I Teleport away, letting Burmes guide the new scene. I end up in an open outdoors setting with none other than Walms standing a good distance away. He turns as I make my appearance, eyeing me strangely, almost as if he were sizing me up. "It's me, Walms! Mzzkc!"

"Oh, good job on finding me. . . We can start when you like."

"Very well." I say cooly, taking a stance and drawing my Katana.

Immediately, I turn on the pressure. Teleporting close to him, but well out of arms reach, I make a quick swipe, which he readily evades. Before he can do anything else, though, I Teleport again, and make another lightning quick attack, but am foiled a second time. TP, this time he's got claws out to block my thrust and follow up with his own attack, which I deflect before TPing yet again. This goes on for a good six or seven seconds, with me TPing, attacking, and defending about three or four times each second. The attacks themselves are varied and range from basic slash and thrust combinations to much more complex sword-work. Still, neither of us can can land a hit.

Without warning, Walms launches into the air. I'm quick to follow, purposefully dropping my blade as I do. Before he can reach altitude, I start charging a Kamehameha, chanting the telltale phrase that goes along with it. Walms immediately stops, turns, and Teleports directly below me, but that's just what I wanted. Using a Time Skip, so he doesn't have a chance to react, I change it up and deliver a huge downward arcing punch that instantly makes contact (thanks to the Time Skip). He looks visibly surprised as he plummets down to earth.

"I don't have to follow what I say I'm gonna do." I taunt, playfully, before TPing below Walms and Time Skipping a huge uppercut into his gut. This time he's ready, though, and makes a grab for my arm, so I TP away from him and follow him as he shoots back up into the air from the force of my blow. He rights himself quickly enough and speedily starts closing the relatively small gap between us. I start charging a real energy blast this time, but I screw it up as Walms tries for another grab. He rebukes me, commenting on my attempts at an actual energy attack, as I avoid his assault and Flash Step away, closer to the ground.

Still moving, I start charging another energy attack, but he's on top of me without warning, and now I don't have a prayer of getting away. So, I do the next best thing and direct a blast of energy at the ground, causing a massive explosion that envelops me and blasts him away.

Unfortunately, as the light of the explosion overtakes me, I lose my hold on the dream, and enter into a FA. I quickly get up, go to my laptop, and record the events. After publishing it, Walms responds almost instantly, saying he remembers the fight, and very much enjoyed it, pointing out how good the pacing and flow was.

Key:Black-Awake, Lucid Dreaming, Dreaming

It started out I was walking to school(odd, cause I just started summer vacation, so missed DS there).
"Ugh. Another science class to live through."I said, obviously heading to science class. On the way up, me and my friends saw that all the girls were eating burgers. They were these new burgers made just for girls...and trust me, you don't wanna know the name. So, I finally get to science, and we were allowed to sit anywhere. So, I sat next to my friend Steven. He was telling all the guys about a secret.
"What? What's the secret?"I asked in a whisper. Steven leaned over to me and whispered", They're putting a new pepper on that new burger." he replied. Well, I don't see how that's a secret.
"Is it a ghost chili pepper?" I asked.
"What's that?"Steven replied.
"The world's hottest pepper."I said.
"No. I think it's a green pepper."Steven said. I felt surprised, and stupid. A green pepper? Wow, what a secret...not! Anyway, I saw some video games on the wall in the science room. One of them was Mass Effect 2. I warped myself into the game. Then, I realized something:I DON'T HAVE the ability to warp myself into games! So, now, I was lucid. So, since I was already in Mass Effect 2, I decided to do something. You see, I was Colonel Shepard's ship The Normandy. In the game, you can't go in the ship's girls' bathroom. So I figured, why not? Just to be funny. So, I used my lucid power, and busted down the door of the girls' bathroom. All the girls screamed, did weird things, then fled the bathroom. Yeah, I know...odd. So, I warped myself back to the real world(obviously not the real real world.). I wondered what would happen if I broke into the real girls' restroom. I noticed some Roman soldiers down by the girls' bathroom. I asked them to help me bust down the door. So, we did. The girls didn't care that we broke in. They just wanted to talk. Yeah, that's weird. So, I decided to talk.
"Uh...did you know this is all a dream?"I said."This is my third dream tonight. I just don't remember the other two."
"Hey, time to come back to science class."my science teacher said from behind. Since I was lucid, I just ignored her and stayed back to talk. Then, the girls started to play some girly music.
"Oh, not this garbage. I'm going outside."I said. So, I came outside and saw some kids playing botchi. Bothci is Italian bowling for those of you who don't know that. These guys were playing horribly.
"This is the worst game of bothci I've ever seen."I said.
Soon, I woke up. And I realized I didn't become a werewolf in that dream like I was supposed to. I'm a dingus. I'll do it in my next LD.

Poor recall again, but for once I'm sort of glad. It's better than dreaming about what happened yesterday.

1- Four Silly Rats
I have my rat cage out in the back yard. I now seem to have four rats: Dusty, Luna, another white one who's name I don't remember, and Rainbow (who has very colorful fur). Dusty is a trouble-maker. At one point she runs away, but I eventually find her and put her on top of the cage. There is an electric wire stretched across the yard which she is trying to mess with. The other rats are nervous, because the wire keeps getting closer and closer to the cage. Dusty shocks herself, and I get shocked trying to get it away from the other rats. Dusty's fur is singed, and she falls over for a moment, stunned. I pick her up by her tail. "Owww, that was painful," she moans in her little rat voice. ((I love it when my rats talk in dreams. Their voices are so cute!))

"I told you not to mess with it."

2- Runaway
I am playing with some runaway kids. One of the older ones is chasing me through a brier patch, and I am purposefully running through the briers rather than using the deer trails so that escape is easier. My poor arms...

When we get to the end of the gravel road behind my house, I notice that there is a McDonald's built there. "Cool!" I say, "I never knew we had a McDonald's behind our house!" ((LOL The stupidity of this is amusing. We live way out in the country, for one thing...)) One of the girls I am with runs in and orders a Happy Meal. I am worried that I don't have any money to pay for it, since she is in my care, but she has her own money.

So, I had my first false awakening that I've ever remembered last night, but I didn't realise and was kicking myself afterwards.

I awoke -- or rather I got out of bed following a seemingly failed WBTB WILD attempt -- and went down stairs. I ate breakfast in the lounge with my family. I was annoyed with myself that I couldn't get comfortable when trying my WBTB. I sat watching TV, not doing much. I looked at the clock and saw it was 35 minutes past my usual waking time. Then I awoke for real.

I was having trouble trying to get comfortable when I returned to bed for the WBTB. It would seem I fell asleep without realising and just kind of kept going logically in my dream. I've never experienced a false awakening or anything similar before, at least not that I can remember. The time in the dream was 35 minutes later than when I would usually get up, which I should have caught since my WBTB time is obviously earlier than that. I really need to be more diligent in doing RCs whenever I wake up or leave my bed for any reason.

On a side note, I've had no recall over the previous two nights. I really must get back on track with it. I wonder if stress affects recall? Super stressed lately.

Note: For the first time in a long time I was successful in getting into a WILD! My first goal for this night was to go see MoSh and check out a dream he had a few nights ago where someone invaded his inner world. I figured we could just use the hologram viewing I did with my one dream. My other goals were the same list as I have had for a while now. I fell asleep with my light / sound machine and slipped into a WILD…

I was in MoSh's inner world. I looked around and saw I was in the front yard of his house. That is a common place for me to appear. I also noticed I had my backpack on. That, on the other hand, is not normal. I remembered the idea of using the hologram dream viewer to look back on his dream, so the fact I had my backpack made sense since I usually carry my laptop in the backpack.

I went to the front door and knocked. Asuka opened the door and said hello. I said hello to her, and asked where MoSh was. She said he wasn't in right now… he was training. Training? I wondered where he was doing that… I asked Asuka. She said he was training down the street a bit. He hadn't gone far. I thanked Asuka and headed down the street in the direction she had indicated. I saw there were people in a park at the end of the street. The park was a nice place, and the people were in a clear spot. I couldn't see them very well, but it looked like they were fighting. Of course… Asuka had said MoSh was training down there. I wondered who it was that was training him. I got closer and watched from the street, watching MoSh and the other person face off. I recognized the other person. It was Walms. I remembered MoSh had asked Walms to stop by and help him train. That must be what they were in the middle of.

I stood there watching the two of them train. I sensed there was someone there with me. I turned to look and saw another man there. He was watching MoSh and Walms fight. He asked what I was just standing there for, MoSh was being attacked! He said that had to stop! He started to move towards them, but I stopped him by grabbing his arm. He turned back towards me and seemed quite annoyed. He asked if I wasn't going to help MoSh. I told him MoSh didn't need any help… he and Walms were just training. He said he could tell a real attack when he saw one, and that was it. I told him to relax… MoSh's opponent was Walms. The two of them were training, and MoSh was in absolutely no danger. The man I was with seemed unwilling to accept that, and then Walms disappeared. He must have woken up.

MoSh came over beside me. He assumed the same thing, that Walms had woken up. I told MoSh I was there so we could view his dream from a couple days back when his inner world had been attacked. He said sure. We went to a picnic table and sat down. I took my laptop from my backpack and put it on the table. I opened it up and it was booted instantly, once again to the menu of dreams. I saw my own dreams listed on there. I used the mouse and moved up a directory so it was listing various users' dreams. I clicked on the one labeled 'Man of Shred' and the dream list opened again, but this time it was MoSh's dreams that were listed. I went through those until I found the one entitled 'Weird,' I clicked on that one. The computer screen popped up with the video player, I clicked play, and the hologram once again surrounded me, surrounding MoSh along with me.

So now MoSh and I were in the holographic representation of his dream. I saw MoSh talking to some woman. This didn't look like the right dream to me… MoSh was talking to her about her husband, who was missing. MoSh spent some time looking for the man, and then went into a cave and found the man trapped behind a cave in. MoSh moved some stones aside and set the man free. The man seemed very grateful, and the woman was grateful to MoSh for bringing her husband back safely. MoSh seemed pleased. Then he seemed to be waking up. Just before he disappeared, I saw the culprit who had attacked MoSh's inner world. L was behind a tree near MoSh and the woman. The woman saw L and was going to say something to MoSh, but before she could L had changed into a weird light specter and fused with MoSh… then both of them were gone. What the fuck is it with MoSh getting fused with specters?!

The hologram paused, the message 'Weird, Pt. 2" appeared on the screen, and then the hologram resumed. Now MoSh and I were viewing MoSh's inner world. MoSh was in the living room with Asuka. As soon as we got there to watch the dream, the light specter that L had transformed into separated from MoSh. He went directly at Asuka, saying he was there to rescue her and take her to paradise. She said that if he was in it, there was no way it could be called paradise. L reached out for her, but MoSh wasn't going to have any of that. He pulled L away from Asuka and threw him across the room into a corner. L looked annoyed, but he didn't attack back. Instead, he changed into a black cloud and was gone. MoSh was left groping around in the cloud looking for some way to get his bearings. The MoSh beside me was getting pissed. He said L just needs to leave Asuka alone. Asuka didn't want to go with him, and she never would. I said I was sure that was true, but it looks like L just can't accept that he has been rejected. Too much ego, most likely. I told MoSh that now we knew it was L that had attacked Asuka, and we knew how he had gotten inside. The shield needs to be modified to not let anyone fused with MoSh in, or anyone fused with anyone, actually. MoSh agreed with that, and the hologram ended.

MoSh said he was still worried about Asuka. I said Asuka should be fine… MoSh said she had been acting strange last night, so he wanted to be sure. I said ok, let's go check then. MoSh and I went back to his house. He said she was in the living room. We went into the living room. Asuka was sitting there. MoSh asked me if she looked ok. I looked at her, looking for any sign of dark energy. I didn't see any dark energy… but I figured healing will never hurt, so we could go ahead and do it. MoSh and I did healing spells, and the room filled up with golden energy. That energy was very relaxing. It flowed through me until everything faded and I woke.

Pirate King Pompous, the Monkey Lover (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Very random dream that didn't make a lot of sense. Pardon the confusing entry. I started out on a small boat in the middle of the ocean. A very large boat was right next to us, anchored down. There was a big hole in the side of the ship, and through this, I could see one of the major horizontal support beams had fallen on one side, crashing through the ceiling of the lowest level and forming a nice ramp up to the second level of the ship. The captain of the small boat I was in said something like, "Oh, no, she's not separated anymore." Indeed, had the beam not fallen, there would have been no way to get from the first level to the second one. I jumped clear of the small boat, dashed through the hole in the ship, and ran up the beam-ramp. I was standing in a warmly-lit room made almost entirely out of wood. Three monkeys were swinging about. This very rich, very arrogant guy appeared on a landing above me. He began applauding in that slow sort of sarcastic way that the rich do. One of the monkeys approached and the guy gave it a treat, and the monkey was off once more.

The scene skips a bit. Apparently, this girl had followed me up the ramp and had started to root through the rich guy's refridgerator. She began pulling out rancid, freezer-burned hunks of meat and throwing them away, scolding the man for feeding such poor fare to his beloved monkeys.

While the girl was rooting through the freezer, I headed toward the council room. This one guy was mapping out an island. He showed exactly where large amounts of small treasure was buried, and also the location of a very, very large and valuable treasure. They would chart a course as soon as the ship was repaired. The dream ended.

Double Your Pleasure (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Short dream fragment about twins. They were scantily-clad and drop-dead gorgeous. I was about to have my way with them when the dream abruptly ended.

On a side note, I seem to be having difficulty recalling several other dreams. I believe that three thoughts have tickled three different dreams, but I can't put anything together yet...

Winter Wonderland (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was up at these cabins in the mountains. The snow was all around...I'm fairly sure that I was there for school work, along with the rest of my class. I remember that there was this one girl I had taken a particular fancy to, and I spent the good majority of the dream chasing after her and flirting with her in general.

The first scene I remember is a restaurant. We are all inside, happy to be out of the cold. The lights were dim, there were candles on the table, and the interior was fabulous. This was definitely a high-end place. The dessert menu started to go around. I noticed that one entry was a 15-piece truffle and chocolate set, for one's own consumption. The other option was a well-sliced, chocolate covered caramel apple. I took the latter, and it appeared on my table. It was cut into 5 slices on each side, rather than the three I am accustomed to. It was positively delcious, but we did not stay long. Apparently, our teacher had insulted the chef, and we were all thrown out. The teacher called it a night and ordered us all back to our hotel rooms.

The scene skips ahead to early the next day. I remember walking under an icy overhang. Most of the roof has slid, but a particularly large and dangerous section had yet to budge. I picked up a bit of snow and lobbed it at the snow pack, but without success. I then noticed a very large sort of ice spear. I picked this up, distanced myself from the roof, and took aim at the top of the slide zone. I had broken the ice spear in half for more ammo. Both pieces left noticable marks where they impacted at the top, but still the roof refused to slide.

I made it to the teacher's work station. I was early, so I decided to do some snooping. The dream gets sort of fuzzy after this, but I believe the teacher catches me and I don't get the girl. The only thing I clearly remember is this sort of test where a person concentrates on a line and tries to move it either left or right on a bell curve. I succeeded easily with this.

Use the Force (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID





^That picture pretty much sums up my dream. I was apparently the next Jedi Master, and I had come to the Yoda planet to train. The main Yoda led me to this big building, where hundreds of other Yodas were answering phones and such. My training was supposed to begin in this sort of pit-like thing. I jumped down into it, along with this dude I was apparently traveling with. What I saw, however, was not a Yoda master; it was the enemy. It was a trap! The Yodas had set us up. I came to learn that they had no choice; it was either help the dark side or have thier planet destroyed. The dream gets a bit fuzzy, but I recall escaping and running through the swampy jungles of the planet, eventually finding a boat docked on this big, foggy lake. The fog would hide us, as well as make our path completely undetectable. I climbed in, along with my good friend, and we shoved off for the other side of the lake. Then the dream faded out.

Lucid TOTM Completion (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

At long last, I've finally gone and had another lucid deam. I'm sitting at my computer, logged on to Dream Views, when BAM! I become lucid. Realization just sort of hits me like a brick wall. I briefly stabilized the dream, though not as much as I should have. I instantly recalled the Task of the Month: have a sip of sparkling cider (I'm underage). I try to summon a wine flute full of the stuff, but I kept failing (looks like dream control may be a bit harder than I thought). So, after failing to actively make a glass of cider appear, I looked around on my desk. Sure enough, there was already a glass there, filled with semi-warm sparkling cider. It was a tad old, but it still had some fizz to it, as well as some chill. I quickly drained the glass. The fizzy apple juice tasted just like it does in reality. The bubbles danced about my mouth; the cool, sweet liquid poured down my throat.

As a side note, I had a very good feeling about last night before going to bed. I spent the entire day in a state of perpetual awareness, which I think may have really helped here.

Long one in the Spammy Thread (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a dream involving Invader, Walms, Jeff, and CarmineEternity. We were all posting in the world record thread, treating it like a chat room. In it, we were discussing all sorts of topics, including our pets and going on long walks just for fun. It was a lot of fun. The dream lasted for a long time and was quite vivid, but not much to really write up.

Japanese Burgers (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream took place in Japan. A businessman was talking with a six-year-old. There was a burger stand the two were watching, like New York might have. It was rumored that hamburgers from Tokyo were superb. The young one piped up that the burgers were very healthy. The man explained that the occasional sandwich was just fine, but too many would make you fat. He then went on to explain how fat works, noting that it was okay to have no fat and a small "layer" of fat about the stomach. Too many burgers, though, would make you much too big. The young one finally grasped this concept, and the dream ended.
