Fragment: I'm in the kitchen, I have 6 fingers on one hand, it's a bit dark, so I move into the light and count again, I now have 7 fingers... I let out a holy shit, am I dreaming?! but then I'm gone. Fragment: There is a girl, I think she has red hair, but it's hard to remember. I sense her energy. she has a good heart, but around her is an aura that drains anyone's energy if they get too close. Dream I remember best: I am in my bed, I get up and do a reality check, I'm dreaming. I take the time to observe my surroundings. I feel my dream body, pet the dream dog, smell the dream dog. (the only one's I remember doing) I realized I was in my underwear, so I summoned some clothing. I looked in the mirror, I was wearing my green vault shirt that I threw away awhile ago. I walked into the next room and teleported by jumping into the AC, everything turned black. I saw a fan blade, I spun it, and I landed on the other side. I was in a comfortably lit room, there where three? people congratulating me for reaching the moon (I am barely above nonlucid at this point) the girl from my last fragment is there, she still has that aura that drains energy. I tell her I'll find a way to stop the drain. She motions to her left arm, and I see three points, causing the effect. I acknowledge the fact that I see them, and walk into the next room, then down the stairs. there is a shower there, I turn around and to back. The girl is still there, and the TV is on, some weird old movie, I don't remember the details, but I watched for awhile, then I blinked and my waking life eyes opened.
Begin memory I am in some sort of alleyway, my hand is raising up to my nose to do a reality check Agent smith from the matrix appears, "Why do you want to control all this?" the entire area turns chrome for a second, then turns back. I become barely lucid I reply, "To open a portal to the moon." I look to my left, there is a portal somewhat far away. after this, I either woke up, or my memory stops.
I am in a church listening to some speeches. I become lucid somehow, but instead of running off and trying something, (or maybe I'm just not lucid enough to do otherwise) I decide to continue listening to the speeches. a friend of mine takes the stand and starts talking in one of his accents that he does every once in awhile. the speeches finish, so I go outside. still lucid, I decide to try to go to the moon. I hear, "It's difficult to get to the moon" from inside myself, but I ignore it, not paying it much attention. I focus on the energy inside me, It feels like water or slush in a plastic bag, impossible to grab hold of, but I don't think about that either. I try visualizing the moon and become a bit disoriented, but nothing severe. I try to get a lock, I think I have it, though not 100% sure. I try to open a portal anyway. I jump into the air, and slash with my hands, trying to create an opening. "You're not powerful enough" I hear, but still ignore. I land and look, no portal... ok then, lets try something else. I attempt to test the physical abilities of my dream body. I am able to run about 3X my waking life running speed, and I am able to jump about 2.5 to 3 times the hight of my body, a start I suppose. each time I attempt something, the voice antagonizes me, and I ignore it, as if It weren't even there. "You're weak" "You're not powerful enough" now that i'm awake, when I think if the voice, I think of the color black behind me, odd.
note: when I'm actively dreaming, I tend to have a bunch of dreams involving nomad for some reason, most of them are too fragmented to post, but it seems like i have one involving him, or at least a memory of him at least once a week... odd. I am flipping through what at the time I think is nomad's dream journal, making a few grammatical changes here and there so it makes more sense and reads better. In the book, I see a picture of a flaming sword the seems to almost fold out like a Swiss army knife and turn into other weapons, I see multiple swords, and a scythe.
Attempted a wild tonight first thing before I went to bed, didn't work, I think because I gave up. but I did have very good recall. I was standing in a hallway, like that of a castle. in front of me there was a Krogen from mass effect. apparently he was the king of the planet or something like that, some sort of ruler. he was commissioning me to find out why the planet had heated up. I agreed to the assignment. I am in my spaceship, scanning the planet for unnatural sources of heat, too many to count. virtually the entire planet was a hotspot. so I set the sensors to highlight the source of the hotspots. Now there where two hotspots, one on the north pole, and one on the south pole. I could tell that the source was the north pole, so I began landing the ship so I could update the Krogens of the situation. Unfortunately, I didn't realize my ship was about the size of their castle, so there where some problems with actually landing in the parking space. I realized this as we approached the castle, and put the ship in reverse. I decide to send a team to inform the Krogens instead of landing the ship, and while doing that, I would lead a team to investigate the disturbance. *fragment of entering some strange contraption, and flying out of it with a spaceship* *also missing time* the source of the heat was my dorm mate in collage, (who just happened to be a blackbird) because as I knew him, I was easily able to convince him to relocate to the south pole. this didn't solve the problem, so I had him move to the equator, but he suffocated there somehow. *missing time* I'm in a shack, holding a dead black bird, I am feeling depressed because my best friend had died (the blackbird). I leave the shack, and start walking down the road. Every few minutes I have to adjust my grip on the blackbird to prevent myself from dropping it. Eventually the easiest way to hold it is found, holding it with two fingers on the base of the skull, provides the best grip and the least amount of swinging/touching. after about 45 minutes of walking, I see a road. by this time, I'm sick of carrying the blackbird, and voice my opinion. the blackbird disappears. The dream becomes a blurry whirl, and I wake up.
I took a break from dreaming for awhile because I felt I didn't have the correct mindset for it, now I'm back and hoping that this is the last break I take for awhile. right as I fell was falling asleep, I heard some sort of pulsing above my window, still not sure what it was. when I fell asleep, I had a false awakening. I got out of bed and felt odd, so I did a reality check, I was dreaming. I decided to investigate the pulsing sound that I had heard earlier that had stopped at this point, so I floated up through my roof. I was halfway through the ceiling when I gasped, "Dream guide" and woke up. I'm not sure why I said that, I have no memory of seeing anything above my roof... oh well.
I am at my friend I's house, M is there too. we are playing some sort of mortal kombat game, I am playing as some sort of gremlin with a bladed fist/hand thing, I don't remember who I fought as. I beat I farily badly, so he handed it over to M and simply stated, "Kick his ass." I selected the same charactor, and M selected a dragon, it looked like a silver Riddly from metroid. I fought him and was giving him a fair run when he changed his stratagy, he dove underground and began assaulting me by attempting to strike me from underground with his clawed fist as big as my charactor. I timed my jumps to avoid his claw, and counterattack. It began to feel like a boss fight that I had memorized he was so predictable, then I realized I had been looking at the wrong health bar, instead of me being near full health, I had one hit to go, M burst out of the ground. Knowing that one hit would kill me, I focused on dodging his attacks and landing blows where I could, I got his health within a few hits of my own, and the screen disappeared, I looked around and realized it was in the next room over with M and I. I thrashed at the buttens wildly, hoping to score a hit, I tried the grapple button, but I was too slow, I could tell that I had lost. I woke up.
I'm in space, building some type of giant structure, I have the idea it's a space relay. It's made up of self assembling parts that send each other data. I put the last piece on, it has two spinning satellite dishes, the entire piece is glowing slightly. I pull out my laptop and enter a message to be sent out, press enter and my message is sent throughout the cosmos, too bad I don't remember what the message was, I am sitting in a car with nomad, I have a strong sense that tigress is nearby, but I also have a sense that it might be a twinner of her, or in the next universe over Nomad and I are talking about Kevlar jackets, tanks and military stuff in general.
I vaguely remember something showing me A square with the top left corner cut off at a 45* angle, it's an important symbol, possibly my symbol, I don't know yet. I remember lots of thought about nomad, and the last post of his I read in his "Secrets of the Dream Plane" post, It's like I'm watching him in the dentist, yet I remember blackness... I have no way to explain what I perceived accurately. Basically, He is in a dentist's chair, with an alien next to him, explaining things I'm assuming, I don't know what was said, nor does it seem important to my dream. The alien looks like Rodger from American Dad the way he holds himself. Then blackness, deep contemplation about Nomad, the loss of memory of any conclusions reached, and I woke up. Severe chest pains after waking up, still a little sore, otherwise I would have done a WILD attempt, I woke up at 4:30ish.
Damn, I guess I've made more progress in dreaming that I originally thought... first successful WILD (wake induced lucid dream) tonight, Tuesday, November 16th 2010, time of closing eyes, 3:33 AM. I never thought it would be that much of a rush, you go into sleep paralysis, and it feels like your mind is being shot out of a cannon straight upward, at first I tried to stop, but then I just rode it out. it's the most awesome feeling I have ever experienced in my life the dream itself was nothing special, I was laying in my bed, unsure if it worked or not, so I decided to risk a reality check, I was dreaming! I started feeling the sheets, passively observing how realistic they were. I got up and walked to my mirror, I looked into it and tried to focus on going to the moon. I touched the mirror, solid... I was feeling drowsy anyway. I turned away from the mirror, and started calling for my dream guide for about five minutes, that didn't work either... well I was tired, so I figured I would just crawl back in bed, no harm in just resting, it's not like this is going to be my last dream ever. so I crawl back in bed, and just sleep I wake up feeling rejuvenated, more so than usual.
well, it seems like my recall and lucidness has increased tremendously virtually overnight I am laying in my bed, I decided to do a reality check. I plugged my nose and tried to breath, I could! It surprised me, so I sat up and tried it again. I could still breath! I literally jumped across the room, but I remembered to ground myself. I grabbed the nearest things to me and felt them, wood, metal, etc. the room brightened without me noticing. I stood up, and thought about what I wanted to do. I walked down to the kitchen, thinking about how to open a portal. I couldn't think of a good way to do so that I felt would work, so I figured the moon wasn't an option. I tried to summon a gun, didn't work. I held my hands how you would hold a rifle, didn't work, I closed my eyes and tried to visualize a gun, while holding my hands how I would hold a gun... didn't work. ok then, I'll try another approach. I walked out of my house visualizing a lancer from gears of war around the corner, with the chainsaw bayonet, still nothing, I decided to try something else, I walked back into my house. when I was back in my house, I shouted, "HEY DREAMGUIDE!" ... nothing. I tried two more times. the third try, I instinctively looked at the door, there was someone approaching. I went down the stairs to the door and opened it. there was a man there, his hair was a gross mix of brown and blond hair shooting out of his head at random, and his face was ugly. since I was just shouting for my dream guide, I assumed (incorrectly I found when I woke up) that he was my dream guide, so I let him in. he said, "sorry for not coming sooner" as he walked in, and something about a gay lover... I just tried not to judge him. I walked away for a few seconds and tried to run through everything that happened so far... not much apparently. I awoke.

wow, two lucids in a row, personal record! recall begins I do a reality check, I have 4 fingers on my left hand. I look at them for a bit, it looks a bit like pig fingers. I start walking out, looking for something to do. I see someone, I can't remember who started it, but soon I was flying, and we where both chucking things at each other. I was flying around, throwing kitchen sinks at the guy, and he was dodging. I saw a bathtub flying at me in slow motion, I catch it, and chuck it back, the guy who threw it at me dodged it. somewhere I got a stumpy baseball bat/club, I started trying to hit people with it. they would dodge. I decided that hitting people with it wasn't the best option, so I started flying around like superman, holding it with both hands, trying to poke people with it. they started running, I almost got them when they turned away and ran a different direction. I crashed and burned and slid about 5 feet. I heard a woman say, "you just slid through the dog poo I just cleaned up!" in a shocked tone. "sorry" I said, not paying attention to my shirt, my attention was focused in the back of the room, there was a girl sitting there, but she seemed slightly different than the other people around me. I went up to her and said hi. "hi" "hi" "you know you are dreaming, right?" -reality check, passes- "no, I KNOW you are dreaming" "doesn't really matter, I won't remember." "oh, that's it then..." I pick up a mini television that is sitting next to me, but I can't find the power outlet on the wall, the dreamer disappears. "crud" i say. the TV flicks on, I remember that I'm in a dream and become more lucid. I see the dreamers eyes opening from their perspective, then it switches to in front of them, they say, "holy crap" and the television flicks off. I go back to the people behind me, but the rest of the dream became too erratic to recall well, I woke up soon after.
I am standing on the deck of my old house, I can feel my body in my bed slightly, and remember having just been laying down. "I must be dreaming..." I say, I jump off the deck and start flying. I yell, "I'M DREAMING, YEAH!!!" I feel myself stalling in the air, I slow down. I then feel myself waking up, I say to myself, "Damn!" and wake up.
Created a base with my gloves, they have the power to edit the environment. put up a single snowball turret Defended base from some kind of pig-things that walked on two legs, Dream characters. I opened the radial menu of my gloves, and select delete after I realize it will take forever to kill them normally, and they just disappeared. Created several rooms inside the base, the one that I remember best is the game room. woke up, still tired, fell asleep fragmented memory of exploring a black and white chess floor hallway thing, I made a mental note of some sort of cave thing that went downward, and passed it. Found some stairs and some old guys voice is taunting me or something as I go up them. I either woke up, or the recall is gone. Then later, possible dream re-entry point I am in my base, My gloves, when I hold them up to the screen, show a yellow image of my hand, I held them both up, and it triggered a surreal experience, I was sucked into the monitor, everything turned black and white. I was told, Do not go to the ceiling, or you will be lost to the chaos. I looked up and there was just static for ceiling. I noticed that If I raise up my hands, I float upward. I turn a corner, and the wall in front of me is a giant mouth, It is telling me something, I can't remember now, something about the plane I have accessed, I think it might be a portal, so I try walking into it while it's still talking, everything distorts, the mouth is as solid as a wall, so I turn around, and start walking away. I accidentally raise my hands up for some reason, and float to the top. everything goes black and chaos-like, and I hear something along the lines of "I told you" or "You have been assimilated. then I woke up. after I woke up, thought about my base, and thought about how awesome it would be to bring my friend to it, I fell back asleep, I think I Wild'ed, because I was lucid after this. My base is in the middle of a giant complex, possibly a Labyrinth. I am in the game room of my base. I look around, one wall has 8 plasma screen televisions in a 2x4 grid, with a larger one on top of the grid in case looking at the television grid is too much for someone. I contact my friend, He said something about me having to go get him. I figured it wouldn't be such a big deal. (I did this next part automatically, so I'm just trying to make sense of the experience) I lifted my consciousness above the maze and looked for him, I noticed the underground caves that I saw in the previous dream and made a mental note of them. I saw my friend, and dropped my dream body in the same area as him. I asked if he wanted to see my base, and if he knew he was dreaming. he did, and he was, so I used the same process to set us both down in the game room. He said, "I've got to say, This is a really nice base!" he flopped on the couch and started playing the PS3. He said something about me not having a Wii, I replied that I have one in Waking life, so why would I need one in dreams? I asked him if he wanted to explore the caverns that I had spotted earlier, "Ehh..." he replied as he held up the ps3 controller. I figured playing was better than watching in a dream, so I picked up a controller and started playing with him. We where playing some sort of 2D car game, pressing the left directional button would make your car inch forward, the faster you pressed it, the faster your car would inch forward. there was lots of really neat artwork in the game that made up for the lack of gameplay, I played for what seemed like 15-30 minutes before we got to a shop, I looked at the inventory, there where several items, but something told me to buy Phoenix feathers, but I woke up right as I tried to click "Buy."
Last few days I've been just focusing on my recall, no goals as of yet. I was searching Google for something, don't remember what. I came across some file-hosting/pay-referral scheme scam thing. -Dream Shift- I was looking at the same referral thing in a really old national geographic magazine that I was reading. I was near the end of the magazine, so I flipped the pages backward. It was a fairly thick magazine, I stopped every now and again to look at pictures. -Dream Shift- Playing D&D with a friend of mine and his girlfriend. She finished off a goblin with her "Quivering Palm Strike" monk power. my friend said, (as the dungeon master) "The goblin's hand turns into a vortex, It spits out revealing clothing, and a bunch of mustard." I just look at his girlfriend with a perplexed look. Then I woke up.
