    3-15-13 Dream Journal

    Techniques Used: I went to bed with the intention of doing a DILD. I practiced my RC checks throughout the day and refreshed them before going to bed. As I was going to bed I tried to remain confident that I would have a lucid dream, and that it would be very stable and realistic. I also did a little day dreaming to try and incubate a dream in a fantasy fiction setting.

    Results: My DILD technique was not successful at all. I did have a very cool dream, but I did not manage to ever become lucid or even remember to perform a RC check. Even though I was not lucid I would say that on a scale of 1-10 my dream reality was still a 6 or 7. My dream felt very real, I only score it so low because I did not have any self motivation. I was basically just a DC myself which I guess was still very enjoyable :-)

    My dream kind of fades in with me traveling in one of those old looking black mobster cars. I am in the car in the front seat having been captured, they are taking me somewhere and I want to escape. I start to get the impression that there is someone in the back seat so I turn around and literally have my breath taken away! In the back seat is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen! She was captured with me, how could I have forgotten about her?! (Side Note: I am hoping that she becomes a recurring character, I asked her what her name was but can't remember what she said!) Sitting next to her is another goon but he is just a standard DC, someone I could easily deal with. The real problem is the man driving the car. I get the impression that even though we both know that I am the stronger, he has some type of hold on me and thinks that I wouldn't dare attack him.

    We arrive at an apartment building. It is late evening and very overcast with big black clouds which gives the apartment a very dark and gloomy feeling, it begins to rain very hard. I have a very depressed feeling like there is no hope, the city I am in feels kind of like Gotham City.

    Suddenly my character gets a boost of courage and inspiration. "These people have no power over me!" It was not the type of courage that comes from realizing that you are dreaming and it is your dream to control. It was the type of courage that makes you feel manly and capable, like with enough effort and pure grit you can do whatever you set your mind to. I jump out of the car and yell to my fair maiden to quickly fallow me, we are getting out of here! To my surprise she does not get out of the car. She gives me a strange look and downcast her eyes. The man in the front seat smiles at me, his control over her is much stronger than I realized.

    This enrages me, he appears out of the car and I furiously attack him with my fists (This is a theme in my fighting dreams, rather than trying to find a weapon I almost always attack with my fists. And I have great boxing skills :-) ) He is a great fighter but I am the better. I manage to stun him and I put him in a choke hold. I am trying to choke him out and I have every intention of killing him, he deserves it for what he has done to me, and for whatever he has done to the women. Just when I think that he should die he disappears and than reappears facing me. It is the same man, but now the situation has completely changed because I have realized who he is.

    He is a recurring character in my dreams, I hate him very much. If he has a name I do not know it (Maybe next time I see him I will ask him if he has a name). More than just a person he represents an idea. He is the representation of an evil part of me. He is not "PURE EVIL" (lol, said in Sponge Bob voice for any who recognize it ... serious rabbit trail lol) Anyway, he is kind of hard to explain. He is the part of me that wants to control and manipulate people. He is godless and seeks power only for himself.

    Back to the plot. I now know that I cannot kill him, not in the dream anyway. He is not something that can be killed, merely resisted. It is actually kind of weird because now I stop fighting him in the traditional since and we start to act kind of friendly to one another. Not friendly, but with a kind of mutual respect. I cannot kill him, and he has no power over me whilst I am aware of him and resisting his influence.

    I ask him if I can have a minute to talk to the girl. He agrees and there is a scene transition like in a movie. We leave the apartments and enter a large library with dark wood paneling everywhere. (I guess my sub-conscience thinks that libraries are good places for serious conversation). I enter the library through the front doors but she is not with me. I know that she is on the second floor somewhere, so i go looking for her. I spend five minutes chasing after her only seeing glimpses of her around corners. I then realize that she is intentionally avoiding me. Not because she is rejecting me, which would have made me very depressed, but because she knows that she can not give me what I want. (Not that you perverts! She knows that she can't come with me)

    Scene Change. I leave the library and hulk jump to a train station, which is where His main base is. He wants to talk with me here because his influence is stronger in this place. I meet him on top of a wall overlooking his base. The train station is behind me and I take a moment to look at it, it looks really cool and has amazing vividness! It looks like the train station from the Harry Potter movies.

    I am talking with him on top of the wall and he is starting to piss me off again. He is trying to convince me to join him. Especially since if I did I could be with her. Even though it is very tempting to me to get to be with her, I continue to resist his influence.

    I notice a wall of strange objects stored on wooden shelves, like what you would store your sack lunches in during elementary school. Each cubby has a toy in it, most of them are action figures. I get very excited because these are ter'angreal! (Magic objects from the Wheel of Time series, my favorite Fantasy Fiction series). Each one is a magical object that gives the holder a powerful ability. A begin picking each one up and get very excited because I can tell what each one does! I find one that gives you the ability to heat up metal to such a degree that whatever it touches will be instantly obliterated. I take the ter'angreal and pick up a metal folding chair that is conveniently next to me. It heats up and begins to glow a cherry red. I plan to try and use it to destroy him once and for all. I think to try and touch it to see if it is really hot enough to kill him... it is very hot and burns my hand. For some reason this doesn't seem right, I should be stronger than the effects of the ter'angreal, right? I touch it again, and it HURTS! (I don't know if this is a debate anywhere on these forums. But I would like to say that you CAN feel pain in dreams! My dream realism at this point was very strong and I can still feel the burning pain that it caused.) I figure that it is hot enough to at least hurt him if not kill him. I run at him yelling Braveheart style... and I wake up.


    If you managed to actually read that huge wall of text thank you! After taking so long to read it please take a moment to comment and leave your thoughts!

    Analysis: Next time that He appears in my dream I am going to try and remember to ask his name. He is a recurring character and it would be helpful to know his name. I am also hoping that the girl becomes a recurring character, she was BEAUTIFUL! I am also thinking of making fist fights one of my dream signs. I never get into fist fights in real life, and it is my preferred fighting style in dreams, so it should help me become lucid if I can remember that if I am in a fist fight, I must be dreaming.

    Even though I did not manage to become lucid, my dream reality and vividness was fantastic! I am really very encouraged.
