lucid

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."
