non-lucid

Dream One: Observing a Mage battle

I am wondering through a castle dungeon like setting and things are very blurry and confusing. I open a door into a largish chamber. Inside the chamber half of the room is painted red and the other blue. Standing on each side is a mage. On the red side is a female mage who looks very smart and cunning. On the blue side is an old man who is clearly insane, and doesn't look at all powerful or wise. They start dueling each other, even though I am standing in the room they are not at all focused on me and I feel completely safe to observe their duel. I don't remember all of the battle but I remember that at one point the male mage summoned a large block of cheese and chest bumped it causing little cheese baby monsters to squirt out the other side and go attack the female mage... This attack was obviously not successful. The battle goes on for some time, and even though the female mage is clearly the superior in power she can't seem to kill the male mage. He keeps flashing in and out of existence, and somehow her attacks are ineffective. He is clearly insane and not doing any of this on purpose, and it was not an act, he really wasn't all there.

While this battle was going on I start to zone out and begin pondering his insanity. I wonder if he knows that he is insane? Or in his mind, is everything normal and functioning perfectly? I wonder if it is even possible for him to see the signs and know that he is insane? While I am pondering this a take a moment to consider the fact that maybe I am insane and don't know it, because I might not be able to see the signs just like he can't. So even though I think everything is normal and functioning perfectly, maybe I am also insane? Who can know....

Side Note: this ended up being a profound thought for me when I woke up and considered this dream. I related it to my faith. Technically I am kind of insane right now, because I don't know everything and I am only able to see part of the picture of this world now. Yet still I have the false belief that I can know what is best for me. That is why I must have faith and trust that my God knows whats best for me and loves me enough to save me and lead me. Because even when i think things are normal and functioning perfectly I can not see the whole picture. Kind of a weird and new thought.

Dream Two: Lucid

I am sitting at a kitchen table talking to my grandma and my dad about that last dream. I am trying to explain the thoughts that I had about insanity to my grandma, but I don't really understand it well enough myself and so it is very difficult to properly explain it to her. She is being good natured and trying to understand, but I can tell that I am not being clear. My dad has been zoned out for a while now, it is still the early morning and he is not interested in having a theological discussion so early.

I take a moment to collect my thoughts and look out the window. Hmmmmm.... I notice that on the horizon there are so EXTREMELY weird cloud formations. They appear to be rainbow clouds of dinosaurs holding hands? There is a T-red, and a Triceratops, and a Brachiosaurus??? Everything feels SOO real that I think that I can't possibly be dreaming. So, I get my grandmas attention and point at the clouds. She starts looking at them, and I think to myself "alright, this is so weird I have to be dreaming, but it feels so real, I am going to look like a fool, but I have to do a reality check to make sure I'm not dreaming". I reach up and plug my nose and attempt to breath in through it, NO WAY! It worked! I am so shocked I have to try it again to make sure, so I do and sure enough I am dreaming! Because of my disbelief the dream starts to fade, I start to re stabilize and am rewarded with a dream transition.

It is night time, I am standing on an asphalt parking lot in the middle of a forest. I am completely lucid now. I take a look around and admire to stunning beauty of the forest. It has been recently raining and everything is damp and shining in the moon light. Without really making a decision a get this strong desire to fly around for a little bit. It has been a while since I have been lucid, and it feels so refreshing to fly around. I easily take off into the night air and I feel blissful flying around with the crisp night air on my skin and in my lungs.

Eventually I reach a deeper part of the forest, where the moon is not shining so brightly. Without my noticing I have flown into a storm. I look at the horizon and see large black clouds all around me. The wind is fearsomely gusting around me now and it doesnt feel safe to fly any longer. The air is full of leafs, and my visibility is quickly dropping. I land and stomp my foot trying to make the storm stop, or the dream transition back to the peaceful night I was in before. It doesnt work, and I suddenly have the thought that the storm is representative of the chaos of my mind and soul.

If this is the case, than I need to find someone to guide me. It is one of my dream goals to meet a dream guide and this seams like a great opportunity to try. So I yell out "God, send me someone to guide me!" Then a large elk like creature with mostly black fur but a white chest comes running out of the forest straight at me. He isn't slowing down at all and so to avoid being hit by his antlers I dive out of the way, I wouldn't have been fast enough to dodge him but at the last moment he swerved slightly to avoid actually hitting me. He never stopped or anything, he just ran right past me back into the forest.

I think to myself, well if he was supposed to be a guide I am not really understanding his message. What should I do now? Then I see two smaller fawn colored dear creatures crossing the clearing and re entering the forest through a small clearing in the underbrush. I quickly chase after them and sneak into the clearing before it closes behind them. After walking through the underbrush for eight or nine feet I come out into a completely different world. The dear creatures see I have followed them and are startled and run away. I don't think to chase them, I just look around at the world I have found my way to. It looks a lot like the standard windows PC desktop picture with the rolling green hills and bright blue sky.

I don't have any time to appreciate the scene though because the humans who where keeping me prisoner in a previous dream realize I am here again and start chasing me to wipe my mind.

I again realize that I need a guide so while I am running away I am searching for one. I see two fox creatures and run over to them. They don't look very nice at all, but I am truly desperate for a guide at this point and so I roll over on to my back like a dog to submit to them and beg them to guide me. They are none to friendly to humans, and one closes his mouth around my throat and I feel his teeth digging into my skin. They are considering killing me to send me from this place, but I beg them to guide me in some way.

Unfortunately I can't remember what happens next and the dream transitions again.

I am back in the same place as before with the foxes but everything is peaceful now. I am with my sister now. We walk up to a table and see a nearly completed puzzle on the table with just one piece left to place in. I realize that the puzzle is telling the life story of the humans that were chasing me earlier. Apparently time passing very strangely in this place. The humans that were chasing me are all old now, and the puzzle is showing them in a peaceful setting representing the good life they have led. This somehow feels right to me, and I move to put the last piece into the puzzle and in so doing finish their story and leave them in peace. My sister was walking behind me and hadn't seen the puzzle yet. I invite her over to see it and watch me put in the last piece. When she gets over I realize that she isn't seeing the same puzzle setting as I am, even though we are in the same dream we are not seeing things exactly the same. Oh well. I feel the dream starting to fade now.

The dream transitions once more before I wake up.

I wake up into a false awakening but immediately become lucid. I am in my grandparents house, I get up and go find my sister to talk about the dream. I find her and she says that she has been practicing lucid dreaming, and that she will try to remember this dream when she wakes up for real. I feel myself waking up so I say goodbye then wake up for real

When I woke up I texted my sister to see if she remembered any cool dreams from last night and told her about the dream. She said she didn't, but thought that it would be cool if it was possible. Bummer, oh well, it was still a heck of a lucid!

Had my first lucid dream worth journaling in a while last night. Just for the sake of my records I have had three lucids this last while that I didn't bother journaling because they where short or not important/cool.

Dream One: Niece

Great dream, I was in a large room full of my family and we each had our own bed. AG, my niece, was a little bit older than she is in RL, like a toddler and she came over to me and we started snuggling and it was the sweetest thing ever. She was so happy, and so sweet nuzzling into my chest. Then I wrapped her up in a blanket and she laid next to me and we took a nap. On a side note my dad was busting SB for wanting to drink, and he told me “well he isn’t the guy we would have picked for her, but he loves her and he has done a great job so far so I think we are satisfied.” Pretty cool stuff

FA 1:

After that last dream I wake up and get up to go brush my teeth and i feel the dream fading, crap I missed a FA!

FA 2 and Lucid:

Then I get out of bed again and I think, better RC even though this feels so real, and immediately I am lucid. I start wondering the house and everything is SOOO vivid. I start thinking of sexual things but I promised myself I wouldn’t waste another lucid like that. The dream starts to fade a little but I begin concentrating on my surroundings and the dream restabilizes very well. I see a large window leading out to the street, I am on the second floor. The street outside is made of large cobblestones that are a dark redbrown from the rain that/mist that is falling on them. I am in a neighborhood and there are other really nice houses around me. I purposefully phase through the window and land in the street. I expect to smell and feel the rain and I do. My skin gets damp and when I finish phasing I smell the air and it smells just like it would after a fresh rain. I start calling out down both sides of the street, because I am alone, “alright God, I stopped myself, and I said I would try to find you or worship you with my dreams, I am here now, what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do?” As I am shouting the dream starts to fade.

FA 3 and lucid 2:

I wake up and get out of bed to start getting ready. I think I better RC after those two FA’s, you’ve got be kidding me three FA’s and two lucids in one morning, amazing! This dream is the most vivid I have ever had, I got out of bed in my room, and it felt like I was in my greandpaprents house where I am living now. I get teleported outside and I am now standing outside in their carport. The dream still feels amazingly real, I have actually managed to stop thinking about reality for a while, so I am not even thinking anymore this is a dream, I am just completely in the moment. I see my niece coming home down the road. She is a little older now then when she was in the last dream, and she can talk now. She is very happy to see me and she runs at me and gives me a hug. She is all covered in blood but I know its not hers and she seems happy enough so I give her a hug and appreciate the moment of seeing her smile at me and talk with a full set of teeth, since she is only 9 months old now in RL. I ask her “why are you all covered in blood, where have you been at?” she is unphased and responds that she is just getting back from the north pole, nothing to worry about. As she speaks she points off towards the north end of the farm and for the first time I look up at the horizon. Somehow I just understand that this is normal for her, at night she comes to this place and goes on dream adventures to these different places. On the horizon are like fifty different bubble scenes going around me in a three sixty. I remember being amazed and looking at each of them, but I can only really remember what ten or so looked like. Each one was like a chapter of a book that promised a different adventure. The north pole one she had just come from had a very smooth frozen sheet of ice, and the northern lights going crazy. It looked like there where two skies because the northern lights where reflecting off of the ice sheet. Now I knew why Amelia had gone there, because she liked the bright lights and wanted to check them out. I starting looking at other scenes. I asked her “do you have time for another adventure? Or do you have to go?” she took a moment to think about it, and even though she was coming home to wake up she said she could probably stay and hang out. So we started looking at the available adventures to see what we wanted to do. There was a beach scene right on the ocean with white sand and perfectly clear blue waters. And a world dominated by a huge volcano that was erupting and spewing magma everywhere, on that adventure I knew you would be jumping from rock to rock trying not to let the lava monster get you lol, I laughed. Then I saw a world that was calm, but had like 10 large white mountains forming in a circle. Around the mountains where flying balls of energy of all different colors, probably fifty or sixty of them in all from all colors of the rainbow. I knew that Amelia would be attracted to this place because of the colors so I showed her by pointing it out and her face lit up and she got very excited and she said “Yes!”

The next thing I know Amelia and I are standing in a white pit in what I can only assume was that world. But now there is not anything flying around, no balls of light, only white mountains and calm. I see these little mechanical devices laying on the floor and I pick on up. I feel like I recognize it somehow, like I should know what it does and how to use it. I pick up another and start trying to activate them. Amelia has lost interest but she is willing to stay a little longer since I have been so engrossed by these machines. I start trying to activate them by force of will, or pouring my energy into them or something, or anything come on work! I feel like I am starting to figure it out when another guy shows up. He looks surprised that we are here, then he takes another look at my face and is shocked! Like how can I be back here? He comes to try to take the machine from me but I don’t let go. I change the positioning in my hand according to lines on the ball and smile at the man. I still don’t know who is is, but I feel like I used to know him. The ball begins to glow and when it does all the others come to life around me. I remember what they are, they are used to make music by reverberating off the surrounding mountains using different frequencies. I start spinning them around but it just makes a horrible noise, the guy is very displeased by this so he shows me how to move my arms like an orchestra director to make music. I do so and I hear a question in my mind, as if from the machines, “what type of music shall we make?”. I think for a second, but decide techno of course. I start conducting the symphony and they start playing the techno song I am thinking about. Amelia is very pleased by this and starts dancing among the lights as they spin around, enjoying the techno music they are making. Then without my noticing she kind of slips away at this point. I enjoy making music for a little longer, and then I start thinking this is amazing that my mind can remember every note and so many different songs to be able to duplicate them in my dreams so perfectly. When I start remembering these things knowledge of reality starts coming back and I know I will wake up soon. I turn the machines off and land them so they wont be hurt by a sudden turn off and crash to the ground. Then I wake up as feeling and awareness returns to my waking body.

I have been really trying to improve my recall recently and it has helped to dramatically increase the vividness of my dreams. I have been remembering two or three dreams a night since my last update, but I haven't had the time to actually write a dj, yay for Saturday

Dream One: Drug Lord
I am at a retreat camp that my family owns (in the dream only sadly ), I run up to my brother (also in the dream only... weird) and start yelling at him. He has started selling drugs and I am very upset at him.... because he is stepping on my toes and will bring "the heat" down on me.

Apparently I am a MASSIVE drug lord and have made billions of dollars producing and selling all kind of drugs. I have managed to do all of this and remain completely anonymous, nobody has any idea who I really am. I am angry that my brother might get found out, he isn't as smart as I am.

I give him a huge bag of money that I am estimating was around 2 or 3 million dollars for him to stop what he is doing, and say I will give him another bag every month if he stops forever.

Dream Two: Fa and Sexy Time
I catch myself waking up and want to try to DEILD. I wouldn't say I am so much lucid at this point, as I am more just straight up awake. I re-relax my body and start trying to visualize a dream. I remember something I read from a DV member the other day about trying to feel a falling feeling, then you might transition to a FA or a lucid. So I start trying to imagine that I am falling, and I quickly start to fall back asleep. I repeat to myself "I am falling" "I am falling" "I am falling" getting more and more sleepy and quite.

I wake up in my bed, crud that sucks it didn't work. I don't even think to RC because this feels just like real life, like I had woken up. I glance next to me and there is a naked woman on the bed next to me.... okay cool (durp doesn't think to RC lol). Sexy time ensues.

This was the most vivid dream I have ever had, it was incredible! I want to describe more so that I will continue to remember in the future, but I don't really think it is appropriate so I guess I will just leave it at that. Okay I lied there is one part that is just to good to forget. It is just something she said, she looks right at me and says "well... let me see what you've got... it's what I came for after all........ humph... I show her.... "HMMMMM... I see you have something to admire... here let me.... okay you get the picture, pretty freaking cool!

Dream Three: Return of Giant Monster
I am at my grandparents farm staying in a trailer. I look out the window and see a HUGE bird creature gliding down to land in the field. The bird creature is at least 10 ft tall and has a 20ft wingspan with human hands on the end of its wings.

It glides around the farm making two circles, each time as it gets over me I here it sending a telepathic message, it says "Let peace and harmony rule this place, let only the blasphemer break the peace" As it circles around a second time I hear it repeat the same message.

Then it lands and starts walking around, it moves less like a bird and more like I imagine a large dinosaur would.

Anyway I am running out of time now so I am just going to say that the bird was evil, and it broke its own peace and tried to kill me and my grandparents. It killed one of our dogs and was able to shape shift into it to try and get into our presence. In the dream me and my grandparents both felt like we had fought this creature before, and had made preparations to fight it again. It was a pretty scary dream, and very vivid.

Dream One: Grandpa

I walked into a weird house and didn't know what I was doing there. Then I saw my dead grandpa and was kind of exited to see him. I went over and gave him a hug and asked him how he was doing.

Dream Two: Art... Something

I was in a big warehouse full of different kinds of art. The room looked kind of like the treasure room from National Treasure except it wasn't, like, as nice. It was just paintings and statues and stuff. In the dream I couldn't tell if I was there to recover the art, or if it was my lair and I was responsible for stealing it

Dream Three: Swimming

I was swimming in a outdoor circular swimming pool in a hotel resort club. Then these two girls, who I knew where some kind Fae, came over and started swimming with me. Then the dream transitioned and I was like a private detective investigating the club for the hidden Fae areas.

Note: I have been watching a lost of Lost Girl recently and that is probably where this dream came from.

Dream One: Gasoline gang

I was part of this all male gang. We were trying to run out some rival gangs so that they couldn't compete with us and steal our moneys anymore. I don't remember all of this dream just hanging it in our hideout, and we had a cool gang sign. I actually had six fingers in the dream so I can't recreate the gang sign in RL :-( but there was a whole story to it like the motions of each finger when making the sign told the history of our gang which I thought was pretty cool.

Dream Two: Gazing at the stars

This was an amazing dream! It was so vivid! I was at my grandparents farm and I walked outside at night to let the dogs out. While they were running around I happened to look up at the stars and it was so beautiful! It was like everything is much closer than it is in real life and there were thousands of HUGE stars that where all different kinds of colors. I had a rush of adrenaline in the dream because it was so amazing, and I felt breathless. The dream lasted for a long time, I had enough time to go back inside to get my family to show them the amazing sky, then we all stood around and looked at it for a long time.

Missed FA: After the star dream I woke up and got my note pad to take some dream notes so that I wouldn't forget it. When I woke up though I didn't have any notes about the dream, even though I remember writing them, crazy FA. Thankfully the process of writing the notes in the FA helped me remember the dream well so I guess that works :-)

Technique: Total sleep time = 8 hours. Nothing else to mention really, other than I have continued using the SSILD technique.

Results: Color Code: RL/Comments - Non Lucid - Lucid

Dream One: Inheritance

There is a royal family having a discussion about their inheritance when their parents pass, who will get what kind of stuff. At this point of the dream I am just a bystander, I don't even think I have a body.

The family argues for some time about who deserves what. Eventually the king and queen, who are both still alive, become offended and decide on another way to settle this matter.

They send for me to settle the matter.

I am a small girl (in the dream), I look young but I think that I am very old. The family gathers around a table and everyone takes a number one through six. It is my duty to role a six sided dice that will determine who will get the inheritance. This is my purpose within the community, to settle matters based upon luck, which supersedes matters of justice or worth in this community.

There are three males, who are all married, and a younger daughter in the royal family (yet somehow they all added up to six in the dream). As each takes a number their life story flashes before my eyes and I get to know them each very well (I still remember but that amount of information would take forever to write down, so.... nope).

I find that I identify most with the youngest and only daughter. So I manipulate fate in her favor and roll the indisputable dice. Her brothers, and their wives, are all very upset at the outcome. But I am convinced that in the future she will be the most deserving, and strongest future queen for our community.

Dream Two: Wow, just freaky

I transition after my last dream and am now meeting one on one with the now dieing king. He wants my help to calm his restless soul before he dies. He wants me to read him to determine weather he has lived a worthy life.

He knows that the process will be extremely uncomfortable, it is very unpleasant to have me shred through your memories to know everything about you. But he agrees anyway, as he is dieing.

I take his head in my hands and begin to focus in on his eyes, like they are windows into his soul. As I stare at them he gets sucked in, he is scared now but I don't break the contact. I see his pupils dilate until his whole eye is black, and I know that mine have done the same.

At this point I am sucked into his memories as if they are really happening around me. I center on a time when he was very angry with his wife. As I find this memory the king feels great shame, he had managed to forget about this moment and doesn't want to remember it now. He tries to break the contact.

I continue and push through his resistance. I find that in the moment he was physically abusive to his wife and oldest son, who was the only child born at this time.

As we relive this memory together I can tell that he feels great shame and guilt. Even though in RL I would of course have grace on him, he did live the rest of his life without any repeat of the physical abuse after all.

But within the dream that was not my purpose. I have to hold him to the highest of standards, he is the king and MUST set a good example for everyone else. I pass judgement on him, and declare that he has not lived a worthy life....

As I break the contact he falls to the floor weeping.

Side Note: wow that was a crazy dream! I love it!!!

Dream Three: hmmm pretty much just sexy time

I wake up and I know that it is early morning and I should get out of bed. Instead I decide to WILD. I haven't moved yet and I am still very relaxed.

I relax my body and I feel myself start to fall asleep very quickly, good this may work I think to myself.

I start trying to visualize something to pull myself into a dream. Trying to shake a DC's hand has worked in the past so I think to try that again. But it doesn't work this time.

I start visualizing myself walking down a trail, and I start to see a trail forming before me! Haha but I am not walking like in RL, I am controlling myself like on a computer game. I click a mouse and a ping forms on the trail ahead of me, and my character starts walking towards it.

This annoys me, I don't want to waste this lucid playing a video game character. So I say out loud:

"Enough with the clicking already!"

Instantly the clicking is gone and I have full control of my dream character, it is at this point that I would say I officially transitioned into the dream.

At this point I make the unwise decision to waste my lucid on sexy time...

I don't want to get into describing sexy time, but I do want to comment on the vividness of it. It was amazing, everything was extremely vivid and I had full control!

... enough said I guess! lol you get the point.

Had two interesting dreams, one last night and one the night before.

Dream One: The Hobbit

I am a Hobbit just like in LOTR, and I am in the LOTR universe but it is not the LOTR if that makes since. It doesn't to me so I don't know why it would to you

I am a Hobbit and me and a group of Dwarfs are heading out on an adventure. After a couple days of journeying we run into a dragon and he kills us... the end

except then I come out of the void again and we are starting the adventure over just like we did the first time. It is not like it is a video game and I have multiple lives. It is like I time traveled back but only I can remember the future.

This happens three time, each time as we are approaching the dragon I try something different to keep the group alive but we die each time. First by the dragon again. Then by a group of Orcs we run into avoiding the dragon.

Then on the third time I end up fighting my own group because I ended up telling them about my future foresight and they thought I was crazy and tried to kill me

Dream Two: Super Demon

I am like a rival gang leader walking into the territory of another gang. Everything has a dark red cast to it, I look up and realize there is no sun in this place. Just a orangy red glow that seems to come from everything. (this is my representation of a hell setting in my dreams). We are in the ruins of what looks to be a modern day city with the broken and rusted remains of sky scrapers and destroyed concrete buildings around us.

As I walk towards the rival gang two members come over and restrain me by each putting a hand on my chest. They were stronger than I thought they would be and there pressure stopped me in my tracks. I allow myself to be restrained

The leader comes over and says something but I don't remember what he said.

I told him he didn't belong here, he nor his gang had earned the right to be this deep in this place.

He got cocky and beginning with him each member of the gang releases their energy and I feel it like a strong pressure around me. Like the air has become much more dense and it is now hard to breath through their spiritual pressure. There are heat waves in the air and I can feel that the temperature has started to rise dramatically in this region.

Again I tell him that he has not yet earned the right to be this deep. He needs to leave.

In his cockyness he asks who I am to demand he leaves, who am I to tell him what he has earned the right to do.

In a completely nonchalant and non aggressive way I begin to release my own spiritual pressure. I am not fighting with him, party because I am so much stronger than him, but partly because I am just answering his question.

I say this is a million year level.

Then I release the spiritual pressure of a hundred year level. They are all invigorated by this energy, most of their energy output is much greater than what I am now doing.

I am planning on slowly ramping up my energy to give them time to leave if they want. They are pretty cocky and I know that now that they have made the challenge they will probably not leave or they will lose face.

I release to a thousand year level. This is slightly above what most of them are doing. There own energy is pushed back into their body and the excess energy starts to turn their skin red as in a bad sunburn.

I release to a ten thousand year level. All but the leader drop to the ground and start writhing in a silent pain. This level is exponentially more than a thousand year level, and they are now dieing simply by being in my presence. They cannot breath and are suffocating because the air is so thick. And their skin has gone beyond a sun burn and is actually on fire in some places.

The leader is still standing and his pressure is matching mine. He is not surrendering even though he knows that if he does not he will likely die and all his men will die for sure.

I begin to release to a hundred thousand year level. As I do I start floating up into the air, the spiritual pressure I am releasing is pushing me off the ground with its intensity. I spread my arms wide and fully release at a hundred thousand year level. A sphere of fire surrounds me for at least two hundred feat and anything in it is consumed. Remember that this power is not merely 100 times the thousand year level, it is exponentially greater. The very ground I was standing on, the concrete, has collapsed and is now sunken like a beach ball would press water aside. The gangs bodies are completely consumed in the fire, only the leader remains even though he is basically dead, though he remains standing somehow.

There are now by stander demons coming from the surrounding areas to investigate what is going on. I cannot yet see them, they are keeping their distance to see what happens. They are incredibly strong and ancient beings. Remember that I first said this was a million year level.

Now that I have their attention I must release my full power to a million year level or they will attack me as I did this gang. I raise my arms high and stretch as I release my full power. It is a wonderful feeling that I still remember clearly. This power makes what I had previously released feel like a drop in a lake. Rather than being released as heat it is released like radiation. I feel strong particles leaving me that start destroying my surrounding at the sub atomic level. Reality itself start bending and solid matter becomes like liquid and starts flowing into new forms.

I can tell my power has satisfied the on lookers that I belong, so I calm down and begin to sink back down to the ground.

As I do I wake up.

That last dream was such a cool dream. I am reluctant to get into any dream analysis as it looks like I have serious power problems. So I am just content to say that it did feel good to hold so much power and release it, even if I was a demon

I had four good dreams tonight but I am just going to record part of one and then the lucid I had.

After the wedding ceremony the four groomsmen get up on stage. They are all pretty drunk and this point, and the rest of the wedding party, and the bride in particular, are looking very nervous that they are going to do something stupid and ruin the wedding.

They get in a line and act like they are going to sing a song, everyone is relieved. Then another man, not a groomsmen, comes out from behind stage and gives each of the 4 groomsmen a shot glass and starts filling it up from a HUGE bottle of vodka he is carrying around.

They all look at each other like what is going on, but then shrug as if to say "hey I guess we have room for one more shot before we begin the song... RIGHT?!"

So the three on the right down the shot, but he groomsmen on the left starts to look like he is having second thoughts. (Side note: this is where their actual performance starts. Well I guess it had already started before hand but this is where I thought it started in the dream). He notices there is a discarded metal drum nearby and moves to pour his shot out in it.

When he is over it he pours out his shot... but the shot glass has way more vodka in it then it should! He just keeps pouring and pouring until the whole metal drum is filled up! He looks incredulous like he is wondering what the heck is going on.

Meanwhile when he is about done filling up the drum one of the other groomsmen has a heart attack and falls to the floor dead. When he hits the floor his body immediately starts decomposing and he quickly rots away and shrinks until all that is left is a tiny skeleton that is about a foot tall.

Another groomsmen grabs the skeleton and brings it over to the drum they just filled with vodka. He goes to dip the skeleton in the vodka but it is just a little to wide and tall to fit into the drum.

Se he stands the skeleton up while the other three groomsmen pick up the drum and splash the vodka onto the skeleton. It absorbs all the vodka, no a single drop misses or falls to the ground!

The skeleton starts growing and coming back to life. It is able to walk around on its own but is still in a state between life and death. It looks like his cartilage and some ligaments are back but he has no muscle or skin.

The third groomsmen takes of most of his clothes and starts rubbing himself vigorously. Soon it is like his skin is smoothing out and kind of stretching to start forming around him like a cocoon. It starts near his feet then as he keeps rubbing his legs then torso then shoulders the cocoon keeps forming around him. After he does the shoulders his arms are stuck so he head still isn't in the cocoon. He sticks out his tongue and starts rubbing his lips. The cocoon effect spreads from there and covers his whole head and connects with the cocoon covering his body.

When he is fully cocooned he falls to the ground. After about ten seconds of laying there he bursts out the center like an Alien baby coming out a chest cavity.

He is all sweaty and slimy, and naked.

He picks up the skin cocoon left over and drapes it over the skeleton like a robe. It starts to sink into his body, first his muscles form, then he gets all veiney, then it settles over him and he is just like he was before he died! Pretty cool magic trick! The bride looks relieved and happy that they did something so creative, and didn't ruin her wedding.

There is a whole lot more to this dream before and after, but I don't want to bother to write it all down and that was the cool part. Other than to mention my friend J.D was there and told me he was getting married! What!?

The dream fades and I wake up. Even though this feels real I figure I might as well do an RC to make sure. Right when I though about doing a RC I knew I was still dreaming! I did a nose pinch RC anyway and I could still breath through my nose! I love that feeling!

I realize I am still in the Arena that my last dream was in. I stand up and say "This is a dream, I am lucid, Clarity NOW!" Even though the dream was stable it seams to stabilize further and my level of lucidity improves quite a bit. I know that I am not in danger of losing lucidity anymore so I stop stabilizing and start exploring.

I think about doing a TOTM. Then literally LOL and the horrible timing I have with lucids as I know it is Aug 1st and I have not had a chance to look at the new TOTM yet! Dang!

Oh well I will just explore and see if something cool happens. I start flying around the Arena for a while and it feels really good. Then I imagine I am connected to the ceiling by a string and start swinging back and forth.

After a while I notice there is a man watching me, the Arena had been previously completely empty. I fly down.

As I get close he starts talking to me. He looks friendly and I realize I have been wanting to have a conversation with a DC so I decide to engage him and see what he says.

"High I'm Lillie, how are you doing?"

"High Lillie, I'm _____ nice to meet you. I'm great since I am lucid! How are you doing?"

I repeat his name to myself a couple times so that I will be sure to remember it.

"Yes _____ I know that you are lucid that is why I am here. I need you to deliver a message to my wife and son, Luke. You see, I messed up a while ago and there is a woman in Vegas who will be getting the results of a paternity test soon that will show her child is mine. They don't know about this and I wanted to tell them but never did. Will you find them and tell them for me _____ ?

For some reason I don't ever think to answer his question. I am just trying to absorb the information.

At some point while he has been telling me this 3 other guys have shown up and they are standing nearby listening to our conversation.

For some reason all I think about is trying to remember the information, and I want to get there names right.

"You said your sons name was Luke, fantastic that will be easy to remember (thinking about Star Wars). What was your Wife's name again? Crud and I have forgotten your name also!"

In the dream I couldn't remember what he said his name was in the beginning. But I was able to remember it when I woke up.

For some reason when I said his sons name would be easy to remember everyone started laughing like it was a joke? By everyone I mean Lillie and the three men watching us. I tried to ignore them to hear Lillie's response.

"Yes my sons name is Luke. My Wife's name is Madhu (I can't remember it perfectly but I think that is close. And mine is Pujo (pronounced pooj-ha)" (Side note: I am pretty sure Pujo, the name, came from Archer in the episode where he becomes pirate king. The archeologist that is there says he is a something-Pujo which means pirate slave)

At this point I remember that his name is Lillie so I say so and everyone treats it like a joke and starts laughing again. I am confused and the dream starts to fade away.

Hmm that was an interesting dream. I am very pleased to have had such a long conversation with a DC! Even though I don't think he was a DG or anything I am making progress in the right direction, Whoo!

I should also take a second to mention that I don't believe at all that I was actually communicating with the dead or that there is a message I need to deliver.

Yay I found a few free minutes today to DJ so here goes. I don't really have a ton of time so most of them will probably just be shorthanded.

Dream One: Bear fight

I am in a large underground cave like the bio-dome from the TV show Eureka. There are large purple stalactites/stalagmites, whichever are the ones that come down, hanging from the ceiling and there are snow covered paths snaking through the bio-dome. I am with my family riding around on snowmobiles. We run into a large brown bear, he doesn't seem to mean but he is interested in playing with us which just doesn't seem safe. The path is to narrow for us to safely get around him so we start turning around. We escape him but he says his black brother is going to hurt us now because we wouldn't play with him. He calls out "He is going to get you, he is noticeably black" whatever that means. I start scanning the woods for something that is "noticeably black" and see a patch of something that looks like moving shadows heading towards us. The bear kind of comes out of the shadows but he is so black it is still hard to see him. We manage to escape him to and get safely back to our fort.

Dream Two: Space

I am walking along a dock and look up. I notice that the moon is SUPPER huge and beautiful tonight so I get my phone out and start taking pictures. Then the dreams turns into 3rd person and I am looking at the solar system focused around a HUGE burning sun in the middle. Everything is interactive, I can see clouds moving on the planets, and there are solar flares coming off the sun. I see some circular distortions come out of the sun and move, even though I don't have a body, my hand out to pop them like a bubble. They pop and when they do they make a huge electric space storm that rages on for a couple seconds then burns out. I pop three of the distortions then the dream transitions again and I am back on the dock with my phone in my hands. I realize I have video recording of everything I just saw so I start showing people around me and they are amazed at how real it looks. Then when I show them the space storms they are just so cool looking people want to watch the video over again.

Dream Three: Water Manipulation Powers

Very little back story on this dream, I don't know my motivations. The dream starts as I am walking into a large water park. For some reason me and my friend, who has freezing powers, don't like this water park or the people who run it so we are going to trash it. I start clapping my hands in a cadence, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, clap clap clap clap. I am using my water manipulation powers and with each clap Reaking havoc around the park. Water tendrils are shooting out and grabbing people. Some of the tentacles are smashing the buildings and stuff like that. I remember being just amazed that I could control so much water at once. My partner with freezing powers was coming behind me and freezing the people in the tentacles, which put them in a kind of stasis. The dream takes a transition and I am standing on top of a water tower over the park negotiating with the owner. I am making some kind of demand but she is not cooperating because she thinks I am joking. I am not joking, not at all. I remember feeling very serious, I did not like it at all that she was not taking me seriously. I put my arms out to the side, focusing all my power, I slam my hands together manipulating the water in a woman's body who is standing below the water tower. I send her blasting up into the sky, she is quickly out of site. I start counting down from ten, I tell the owner that if she does not meet my demands the woman will die when I reach zero. She still thinks I am joking even though I stare at her solemnly as I count down to zero. When I reach zero I say the woman is dead (side not the women really was dead, I could since her land on a tree a long ways away, she didn't survive). The owner is starting to realize that I am serious, but is still not willing to meet my demands. I hold my arms out to my sides again, and slam them together focusing all my power on a man below the water tower. This time I launch the man straight at me. If the owner won't give in to my demands when I kill a woman out of site, perhaps she needs a more... clear... demonstration. I launch the man at me and as he approaches I bring my right arm back and punch at him again manipulating the water in his body. I focus on sending it in all different direction, the man explodes and his blood covers everyone on the water tower. Through all this I continued to stare at the owner, I never showed anger, just solemness to let her know I was very serious. She gets the picture now and urgently gives into my demands as a once again had began bringing my arms out to the side. The dream fades away.

Dream Four: Submarine and Crocodiles

I am in a huge huge huge submarine shaped like a giant see turtle. The man who is the cook from the show Falling Skies is the captain of the submarine, he is up on a stage performing some karaoke. I am a prisoner and he starts leading me down a hallway. The hallway is lined on both sides by big swimming pools. I see that there are large crocodiles synchronously swimming around in circles in the pools. He throws me in one of the pools, the disturbance of me entering kicks up a tone of mud from the bottom and so I can't see anything anymore because the water is so murky. The dream takes a transition and I am no longer scared. I reach out and start petting the crocodiles. The are soft, kind of slimy, and like being petted. I somehow learn they are slaves to run the submarine. They have some device that captures the momentum made by the crocodiles swimming in circles to propel the submarine. neat.

Dream Five: Arena King

I am a women fighting in arena combat. There is loud techno music playing, and hundreds of people over the arena betting on the combat. I am loosing to the man I am fighting. There is some kind of lull in the combat, I don't know why because he had clearly one the fight. I look up and notice that there is somebody in the crowd I know and I don't want him to see me lose. There is now a huge dream transition and I turn into the man I was earlier with water manipulation powers. This time I am angry, very angry at this man for hurting and beating the woman I was before. I hold my arms out to my sides but this time I focus a different power and throw my arms down to the ground in a summoning ritual. Then I throw my right arm out first catching a sword that appears out of a portal, then my left arm catching another sword. I yell out "These are the swords of the ocean, Rashni and Krishna (Side note: no idea if those names have any significance, anybody ever herd of something like that... they mean nothing to me). I hold them out to my sides and a ton of power floods from them into me. With their power I am so much more powerful than the man I was fighting that he is not even in my league anymore. It would be pitiful to even fight him, so I just glare at him and turn to leave. He is strong enough to since my power and he is terrified. As I turn to leave he looks re leaved and just slumps to the ground. I leave the pit and enter the crowd, everyone is looking at me. I head to the throne and approach the leader of the arena. I am challenging him for the right to rule. Weird turn of events here. The challenge is not a fight. To become arena king, I have to chose a cookie out of a nearby cookie ten. If I choose and eat the right cookie then I will be arena king. I don't even have to choose blind folded or anything. I look in the ten and can clearly see the cookie that will make me king. But I choose another one and the current leader says good I knew you wouldn't choose the king cookie. I accepted this statement as a matter of fact and the dream ended.

I am standing infront of a large man made pond. The edge is concrete and there is a nice sidewalk going around the pond. There are no swimming signs all around though. Like a crazy amount of no swimming signs, it must be dangerous or something. I wonder why?

It doesn't look dangerous. It is just a man made pond in the middle of a well groomed park.

I decide to investigate closer and so I walk to the very edge of the concrete and stare down into the water.

It is a clear blue water and I have very good visibility.

Way down deep I start to see movement. Right now it just looks like flashes of light, like there are a school of fish swimming around or something.

I see some of them notice me and the flashes of light start to head towards the surface. As they come up I see that they are not really fish but more like long eels with huge mouths and lots of teeth. They don't really seem evil to me or anything just large predators. I decide to try to catch some fish for dinner?

I think that I can grab one of the smaller fishes that are now swimming around before one of the eels can respond and attack me. I grab a fish and it works.

As I am pulling it out of the water my dog comes running by me and jumps out into the water. That's rights, I was playing fetch with my dog... right?

I throw the now dead fish I caught back into the water to try and distract the eels, hopefully they will go for the dead easy prey.

I see one start swimming towards my dog. I pull out my knife ...(love how the dream provides ) raise it above my head in two hands and prepare to jump in after my dog. As the eel swims near I time my jump so that I can leap into the water and stab him just before he gets to my dog. I do and it works, I stab him with my now huge bowie knife right in the forehead.

I see that I have now attracted the attention of more eels that are now swimming towards us. I push the dead eel under the water and hope that they are cannibalistic and will again go after the dead prey rather than chase us.

I swim towards the edge and manage to pull myself up. I have a moment of panic as I am pulling my last leg out of the water and I can't see what is happening, I feel like the eels are very close now. But I get out without incident and turn around to see whats going on and the dream transitions.

I am now a little bow cleaning fish with my friend. Suddenly I start to become lucid. I turn to my friend and say

"This is a dream. I think that I am lucid too!"

He just stairs at me with a blank expression. I don't really know what I was expecting of him though. Then Bam! I am in the void.

I am still asleep but I am beginning to feel my real body again and feel like I am waking up. I concentrate on relaxing and try to stabilize the dream.

Very quickly I start to see very vivid black and white scrolling patterns start passing by my vision. This goes on for maybe 10 or 15 seconds. I definitely take notice of them because they are very cool, but I don't want to become distracted and wake up. Or lose focus and enter a non lucid dream so I continue to concentrate on relaxing and stabilizing the dream.

Soon I transition very smoothly into another dream. Hey cool! I have been watching a bunch of the TV show Archer recently and I am so happy to see that they are influencing my dreams. I am in a nice apartment in a lab. Dr. Krieger is mixing some type of ingredients together, he doesn't have a shirt on and he looks supper high. He is trying to tell me something but I can't hear anything.

Then Dr. Krieger transitions and the lab he was working on turns into a fully stocked bar and Archer is there mixing a drink! So cool, I am so glad I get to talk to Archer in my dreams!

I start trying to talk to him. I was going to say

"Archer code name Duchess. It is so nice to meet you! Your a secret agent right?"

He starts talking at the same time, but it doesn't matter because I still can't hear anything. I realize I need to stabilize the dream so I start rubbing my hands and I really concentrate on hearing it and I say out loud

"I am lucid. I can hear things now."

It works and near the end of the statement my ears pop like a yawn coming down from altitude and I can hear things now.

I realize that as I was stabilizing I saw Archer walk away down the hallway. I go after him because I really did want to talk to him.

Damn! There are like a bajilion doors in the hallway. I realize that Archer is gone. Oh well.

I figure now would be a good time to try to have some sexy time. I stare at one of the doors and imagine that there is a sexy and willing women on the other side. I open the door but before I can see or walk into the room the dream fades.

I wake up and start rehearsing the dream so that I will be able to remember it later when I go to journal it. I realize I didn't really do anything amazing, but still it was a lucid so it is worth journaling.

I am not going to go into to much detail but up until now even though I was awake I had not moved or anything. I realize that somebody is touching my junk. Am I getting sleep creeped!... Not that I hatted it or anything but seriously, so weird! Should I let them know I am awake or just let it happen?

Then I wake up for real and realize I just got suckered by a crazy FA. And by the way I was alone in my room and not getting sleep creeped. Good... I guess? lol

Got to remember to check for those stinking FA's!

Wow it has been a while since I last posted. I have been SUPER busy lately and so I haven't had the extra effort to give to dream journaling. I have been practicing my techniques, ish, but I haven't really seen a lot of improvement lately.

I think my life is about to start returning to a normal schedule so maybe I will start DJing regularly again because I really miss it.

Results:

Dream One: Driving Inside

I am driving around my large truck indoors in a small space. It is to small to maneuver correctly and eventually I just say screw it and start bashing into the walls. When I finally make it outside I figure out how to transform my truck into a motorized scooter and start riding it around. I wonder why I never figured out how to transform my truck before in real life because this is really fun...

Dream Two: RPG Game

I am starting a RPG Pathfinder D20 adventure with a group of friends. We are all going through character creation and are making some crazy characters. This is going to be a combat heavy campaign so we are all making broken characters.

I am not sure how strong my character will end up being but it sounds fun to me to just make an absolute TANK so I throw everything into defense and make him indestructible! I remember comparing my armor rating to the others at the end and their armor rating was around 22 and mine was 273!

They were complaining because they thought I would be worthless at any offense now because I had put everything into armor. So they were hoping that in the first session my character would die so that I would have to make another.

So they ditch him in the middle of an encounter and leave me to fend for myself. Then I discover that basically my fists are like adamantium because of my crazy armor and I start bashing people in the face with my fists! Heck Yeah!

Dream Transition:

I'm not sure how much time was supposed to have passed but the gist is that after that event our characters split up and went separate directions. Then they show up in a town and are looking for help and I am the guild master of the town! I have managed to become super powerful and now they need my help, take that you haters!

But I was missing them, and I wanted to continue our adventure so I rejoin the group and we set out to adventure

Technique: These were nights 2 and 3 of my one week goal to do 2 serious SSILD attempts per night. I have been doing really good on my WBTB motivation and have been practicing the SSILD technique well. I have just been to busy to update my dream journal so this will have to serve as an appropriate update since I don't think I will ever catch up.

I am still not sure how I feel about the SSILD technique. I have had a couple weird FA moments that the guides say the technique creates. But I have only had one lucid, and it wasn't a very good one at that.

I will keep trying.

Results:

For my June dream count I have 6 dreams recorded in my private DJ.

Technique: Total sleep time = 9 hours

This was night one of my one week goal to do 2 serious SSILD attempts per night.

I think that I actually ended up doing 3 really good attempts. I am not sure how I feel about the SSILD technique. One thing that it has going for it is that my dream recall is really high right now. I remembered a dream from EVERY rem period last night which is pretty awesome.

What it has going against it is that I am not sure how it is helping me to become lucid... well I guess I can't judge to harshly since I did have one poor lucid last night, but the quality was really low.

I have heard that it takes some time to learn to do the technique properly and get results. I have 6 more nights to test it

Results:

Dream One: Movie Night

I am with my childhood friend A.H. We are having a sleepover and watching movies all night. For some reason I feel like I am starving and make a ton of snacks, but they are spoiling before I can eat them all!

Dream Two: Grown Up Sister

I am hanging out with a future version of my sister A.G. She is giving me a tour of a new apartment she is renting, it is across the park from mine

Her neighbor comes over, it is E.W! She starts telling us that her brother (who is a journalist) is in trouble for one of the pieces he wrote and is in hiding underground. She whips out a huge map of some underground tunnels and wants our help to find him. All the map instructions are in French! Useless! But apparently E.W speaks french! I decide that if I am ever going to have a chance with her I am going to have to learn french

Dream Three: Balloon Tour

I am in a huge futuristic city with my parents. We are on a balloon tour floating up over the city which rises miles and miles up into the air!

We go by a capital building which has what looks like a forest of flags around it that are each miles high. The only reason we can get so close to them now is because I helped to design the flag polls.

We get back to the balloon launching pad and now there are two larger balloons there. I want to take a tour on a HUGE one that can change its shape. But my parents want to ride on one where you get to stand on the ceiling of the blimp and feel the air around you. Turns out I know the captain of the one I want to ride so we go on that one for free

after a weird dream transition I see two poor women attaching tithes of money and food to strings on the bottom of the blimp... I don't know where they were sending them to though.

Dream Four: Mrs Miles and Lucidology

I am back in high school again with my favorite teacher Mrs. Miles! Today we are studying Lucidology! Sweet!

She passes out a paper that explains an 18 point lucidology scale that ranges from psychedelic to lucid.

I am very interested in it, of course, but I start to get sick and so she sends me home

Dream Five: Merfish

I am a prince in an underwater human colony. It is my responsibility to watch over the cleaning rats (that clean the castle) at night.

After I have collected them all at the end of the night while I am taking them back to their crates I run into my rival prince Merfish. We are not actually old enough yet to wage serious war but we like to fight each other to test our strength.

We start play fighting but I know I don't really stand a chance because Merfish develop faster than humans plus they are naturally stronger anyway.

But during the fight he makes an off handed comment that insults my uncle Jain Farstrider (Wheel of Time book series character) which really gets my blood boiling. I start fighting him more seriously than I ever have before giving him a series of hard jabs and sharp crosses and am eventually able to knock him out.

I sling him up over my shoulder and am going to carry him back to court as my prize which would dis honor him today. This would be a great boon for my honor as I have been carried back to his court as a prize nearly every other time we have fought...

He start to wake up before we arrive and starts begging me to please not present him in court. I say I won't as long as he takes back his insult of my uncle. He agrees and so I let him go after he apologizes.

Dream Six: T and C.C

I am hanging out watching movies with my great friends T and C.C. Someone has come by and dropped off some snacks for our movie time. Some of the snacks are great but some of them have been pranked in some way, so if we want the good ones we will have to risk the pranks

T picks up a bottle which starts buzzing like it has a whole bunch of bees in it. I am scared of bees and so I run into the next room. T fearlessly opens up the bottle and something like bees starts crawling out of the bottle which scares me even more! It turns out that they were just ants though, and they had stuck a phone vibrator in the bottle to make it buzz like bees. Pretty good prank I thought.

Dream Seven: Lucid

I am in the void, I can tell that I am VERY close to waking up. Normally at this point I would just wake myself up because as soon as I try and enter into a dream I would wake myself up.

I decide to try anyway, got to keep growing and learning right?

I make it into a very foggy non vivid dream.

I am in a large empty room with hard wood floors and brick walls. There are large bright windows on the walls but I cannot see anything out of them which was weird.

I try to stabilize by rubbing my hands together and focusing on my senses but it doesn't work at all.

I think about trying a task of the month but I expect that I will wake up at any point so I don't bother.

I figure I might as well wonder around for a while before I wake up to see if I can find something cool.

I start walking around the room and I keep trying to stabilize the dream which doesn't ever work.

I hear a voice behind me and I turn to see a doctor standing over an alchemy table (Skyrim). He is telling me that he knows that I am a lucid dreamer and he can make me a potion that will increase my dream stability and make it very vivid! Sweet!

Finally I have found a useful DC! I tell him that would be great and he starts working away on his alchemy table.

While I am watching him I start to question whether he might be a dream guide? I read someones goals the other day and rather than expecting to learn the secrets of the universe from a dream guide (like a was/am) they were just trying to learn 2 things from a dream guide to start off with. I thought this was a much more realistic expectation.

While I am still pondering this the doctor turns to tell me he has finished the potions but I wake up before I can drink them or ask him any questions! Bummer

Technique: Total sleep time = 10 hours.

Last night I was trying a new technique I just read about called SSILD. I set 2 alarms, one after five hours sleep and one after 7 and a half to try the SSILD technique.

I am not sure how I feel about it. One thing I do like is that it helps me to fall asleep very quickly I think one reason why it didn't succeed for me last night was because even though I was excited about a new technique and did everything right my intentions to get lucid weren't actually all that high. I was more just excited to see what would happen with the technique.

I will try SSILD again tonight and this time I will keep my intentions to become lucid high.

Results:

Dream One: Counter Spy

I am the top counter spy agent working for GD from the show Eureka. I am helping right now to keep their top projects safe and secure from spys.

It was cool because I was working with Zane and Fargo, two of my favorite characters from the show.

Dream Two: Butler

I am working as a butler for a rich family. Even though this might seem like degrading work in the world I was in most people where extremely poor and the butler job paid well so it was very competitive.

I was trying to help the family find a book that had been stolen. It was a blue book shaped like the silhouette of a women in a ball gown with butterfly wings on her back.

I kept finding the book but then it would get stolen again! So annoying!

Dream Three: Blackmail

I am at my grandparents farm helping my grandpa mow. Then my cousin comes over to visit and we start going through some of my grandpa's old stuff. We find a huge perl that we think will be worth a ton of money.

Then we find a rolled up naked poster and somehow we know that it is an original of Harrison Ford's wife... oooh how embarrassing! My cousin thinks it would be good material to blackmail Harrison Ford with but I am not so sure...

Dream Four: Just Crazy

I am guarding the gates of some city with my Dad. We see three criminals trying to enter the city, I think they are some type of war criminals.

When I discover them I have a very intense emotional reaction. I feel rage start to boil up, I hate them like I have never hated anything. I know there is nothing I wouldn't do to them because they deserve it for whatever they have done.

We surround them and arrest them for execution. They are such bad war criminals that we have authorization to kill them on site without a trial or anything.

They are with a group of maybe fifteen other innocent people.

We don't want to let them know that we are going to kill them or else they will fight and we won't beat them.

We gather them all together and get them on their knees.

I go to hide behind a nearby pillar while my Dad walks out among them. When He is in the center he sets off a stun grenade which they were not expecting.

The whole group goes down stunned. I come out from behind the pillar were I was unaffected.

I pull out my knife and head toward the first criminal, a man writhing on the ground. I put my left hand on his forehead to hold him still and then slit his throat from ear to ear. Blood spurts out and covers my hand and arm.

I get up and head towards the next criminal, a women writhing on the ground. She has seen what I did to the first man and I can see the terror in her eyes. She is still stunned though and cannot control her body.

I calmly walk over to her stepping over the innocents caught in the blast. I calmly reach out my left hand and hold her forehead to keep her head still. Then I slit her throat from ear to ear. Again blood gushes out and covers my arm and hand.

I move towards the last criminal, a man. The effects of the stun grenade are beginning to wear off but he still cannot move. I reach him and put my left hand on his forehead to keep it still. As I am reaching out with the knife I feel the dream start to fade! NO! I quickly re stabilize the dream (even though I was not lucid at all).

I know that I have to complete my task, and my rage is enough to stabilize the dream.

I slit his throat from ear to ear but I am not able to cut through his skin all the way. I turn the knife around and come from the other direction making an X. The second time I push very hard and am able to cut through his skin.

When it is done I head over to my Dad and I calmly sit down next to him. He says well done and the dream starts to fade...

YIKES!....

Analysis: I think that I will really like the SSILD technique if it starts to produce results for me. I am starting a one week SSILD intensive starting tonight! During this week I will perform two SSILD attempts per night.

Technique: Total sleep time = 8 hours

I was hoping that this would be a great dream night because I had the free time to sleep in. But I was just so tired from this weekend that I slept really deeply throughout the night . I guess my body needed it. I did get these two nice dreams on my last two cycles that are something at least.

Results:

Dream One: Canada

I travel with a group of friends up to Canada. We haven't made any lodging arrangements so when we get there we just start asking around if anyone will let us stay with them. A nice old man says that we can stay with him, but it may be a little tight. When we get to his house it is a HUGE mansion! Sweet! Why would it be a little tight?

When we get inside we realize this guy is a major hoarder. The whole house is filled to the brim with junk leaving only a tinny walking path from room to room. Oh well, at least it's warm, in fact it is really warm!

He must be spending a fortune to keep the house this warm!

We mention it and he takes us on a tour of the insulation he invented for the house. That is what he did before he retired, insulated homes. Underneath the house he has raised it off the ground with stilts to keep the ground from leaching out warmth. And there is a really complex pipe system in the space that carries and distributes heat throughout the house. Interesting... not

Dream Two: Building a House

I am with my family trying to build our house. All of a sudden a huge group of our friends shows up to help us with the construction. They all know what they are doing and our house starts forming very quickly.

I am helping M.P with some type of metal, what did he call it... fabrication! He has a machine that rolls the metal in ways that he directs to shape the metal. And another tool like a hand grinder but with these spikes coming out of it that beats the metal while it is spinning to help him do something. As the spikes hit the metal they release huge clouds of sparks. M.P and his friend expect that I will be scared and back away but I am very interested in learning metal fabrication and so I stay very close to see what he is doing. The sparks hit me in the face but they don't hurt to bad. I can feel my beard singing together though, they say congratulations I will have a metal workers beard, Cool!
