    1. Lucid fragment

      lucid non-lucid not a dream

      Not a very eventful dream. Although a lot of stuff happened, I tried too DEILD back into it, and forgot the whole thing

      Some stuff happened with my little cousin, she came into my room, she really liked me, we hung out for like 10 min, she disappeared.

      I did a nose RC, I became lucid. I first tried to fly up through the ceiling, but was having trouble getting through, so left through a closed window instead.

      I flew around the street a bit. I went to some business building, and found a nice looking girl. I think I was going to have sex with her, but she disappeared. I roamed around the building instead, seeing a lot of people, some of which looked like the businessmen from the Tool music video of Parabola.

      A lot of other non-lucid stuff happened for a long time with my cousin (she's like 7, I haven't seen her lately, and don't really like her.

      Before I slept, I decided to just do a MILD where I repeated "I should do a reality check". It seemed to work, and I think I'm gonna use that mantra for my other MILDs too.

      Too bad about the recall though. I'm pretty sure some fun stuff happened in that building... I wonder if I tried the TOTM?

    2. Trying to find my dream guide

      non-lucid lucid commentary

      I just woke up from this dream, and couldn't find my RL DJ, so I forgot a lot while I went upstairs to type this out.

      I was in a dream maze. It was all floating, sort of hard to explain, me and some girl were going through it together. An empty space materialized and it turned into an obsidian monolith, sideways. I knew it would teleport me to a different monolith (I've had this dream before in a non-lucid, but I don't remember it well) I jumped on it then the girl jumped on it, and we teleported to another place where EVERY platform was a monolith, and she jumped on one before I could see where she went "Fuck" I thought "I'm going to have to find her. Whatever she'll prolly be at the end" I went through more of the maze, teleporting etc. I eventually found her at the end, hidden behind a curtain on a monolith.I brought her with (she disappeared as soon as I did though) and went to a back door, there was some stairs, and I looked at one side and stepped on it, that half was a trap, I knew it. I took one step down the other and thought of doing a reality check. I breathed out my nose, and thought "alright no.... wait" and inhaled through my nose with the pinch.


      I was lucid, I flew up, and into the ceiling, I was gonna go through it, but it all turned white, and it looked like my ceiling, so instead I used this to turn it into my house. That's where almost the rest of the dream takes place.

      First things first: find some drugs. I tried pulling a joint out of my pocket, didn't work. I wondered why that was, things never seem to fail for me in dreams...So I used a schema, I went into my garage (my old friend sean dropped by and said hey while I did) and tried to grab a joint from my old hiding spot. It was only a piece of paper. That's when I realized, I've never smoked joints, I've always used bowls. I materialized some bud on a fridge, and found my bowl under a speaker. loaded it up, and took a hit. I didn't get high like I normally would, but it was still a good taste.

      Next importance: Dream guide. I went into the computer room and saw my brother. He asked me a question, and I responded, and he responded. I was surprised by my DCs. I never dreamt of DCs in a lucid, so I always figured I wasn't good at it, and they'd be braindead. Afterwards I thought I saw sean behind me, turned out it was my similar friend. I asked him if he was my dream guide and he said he knew where he was. I asked him where and he said "first answer this, have you been there to talk to me whenever I wanted to?" I said yes, and he replied "can you be there for whenever I need to talk to you in the future," I said yes, even though I knew it wasn't really possible to know. "How would you know," he said "if your not gonna be stopped by some obstacle if it's the future" I said something along the lines of he was right, and that I would make sure to whenever I was available.

      He seemed contented with that, more like I got the question right than anything else. He brought me into the kitchen, I asked him if he wanted a hit, and he said no I'm good, he doesn't do stuff like that (weird, he definitely does...) I took the bowl out from my pocket, instead it was just thin plastic wrap that half covered the weed. I took a hit anyway, and then it was fully covered. I waved my hand and changed it back into the beautiful bowl it was (I was pretty proud too). I looked back at Nick and he told me, very seriously, that His (my DG) name was Envolder (he used Envolver and Envolder interchangeably), and that he was a meteorologist, and I believe he said he lived in California. I wanted to do a TOTM before the month was over, so I got out my Cell phone, and tried to call him. I knew his number was in there, but I had a ton, and it wasnt alphabetical. I thought of switching it to alphabetical and finding him, but there were so many C's (all in the form of Cname, like Cnick Childer etc). I decided to go outside, I went outside for some DG related reason (I was prolly gonna teleport somewhere) and then thought I should look it up and went back into the kitchen. I decided to look it up on the computer (there was a laptop in front of us). I looked up envolder, and found tons of different things and phone numbers (what I was looking for). I wanted the meteorologist's number. I looked up Envolder meteorologist, and bam,
      it switched to a different non-lucd subject.

      It was a movie. The two people from pineapple express, the big guy from Superbad, and one other guy and two other girls were in it, it was a real movie. It was me third person watching them like a movie. It was about fifteen minutes long but I can only remember the end. They kept calling each other creative curses in a school hallway, and the principal told them to stop, Seth did one last quiet insult and stopped, and I woke up.


      Some other stuff happened in the middle, but I left it out because it was either uninteresting, hard to explain and uninteresting, or I couldn't remember it well. Like for example, at one point in the dream I started to tell myself to remember it, because I knew I wouldn't remember all of such a long dream.

      Oddly enough, the name Envolder sounds extremely familiar. It almost seemed as if he didn't want me to see him though (and I'm under the impression that I can't communicate with my particular DG with a phone)... Anyway, I think Envolver might be his real name, apparently in Spanish it means "To wrap up, to convince by reasoning (metaphorical), to put things into confusion, or to surround an enemy by all sides (military)." Anyone else ever found that there DG name means something in a different language (or the same language) than your native one? Note that I don't know Spanish.

    3. Time lapses, and my dream guide?

      by , 07-21-2010 at 02:10 AM
      Technique: MILD
      Non-lucid Lucid Real life

      I planned on meeting a DC I could talk to all day. I was hoping to find my "dream guide". I figured I'd just summon him same way I do most everything else, just knowing he was there or closing my eyes. I had a feeling like my DG would be someone that I knew, and I felt like my DG would be extremely intellegent, and would be somewhat like the dream characters in Waking life.

      I don't remember much, but I do remember where I started. I don't think I did a reality check, but I was lucid regardless. I was walking down a street somewhere downtown. Small family shops were all around. I closed my eyes and summoned my dream guide. I opened them, and next to me was my brother, standing there. He said "Hello, whats up?"
      "Not much, I'm in a lucid dream, I wanted to see who I could talk to."
      He replied "Yeah dreams are interesting things, and you know who you can talk to."
      "Yeah, I can talk to anyone, I know, and so do you, because I let you."
      He said "You know the rules."
      "I don't think there are rules, and that being said, I don' think that there are limits. I don't think that anything could be proved or disproved, and most of all, I don't think that things like shared dreaming or sentient DCs are impossible, because the dream world isn't bound by any laws, like waking life is. It seems in waking life that dreams are only in the mind and are limited by what could happen in your brain, but in the dream world, it doesn't feel that way at all. All logic and proof are unreliable, and therefore there doesnt seem to be any limitations based on the 'real world' since the real world isn't in play in the dream world."
      My brother said Mhmm.
      "So... Are you my dream guide."
      He looked straight into my eyes, and I first noticed that he didn't have glasses on, and he simply said "Yeah".
      In my mind I thought that we both felt like he wasn't, and I woke up.


      The dialogue was far from exact, but I do remember that my brother said little to nothing, that I talked quite a bit, and that that's the message that was conveyed. I remember the ending perfectly though. This was the first LD that I've ever talked to a DC, despite having a lot of lucid dreams. Normally I would just fly around and explore. I often ended up (or start off) seeing a goodlooking girl and having sex. I decided not to anymore, since it keeps distracting me from mastering the four elements, avatar style.

    4. Meditation before sleeping

      by , 07-21-2010 at 01:41 AM
      Technique: MILD
      Non-lucid Lucid Real life
      I havent meditated for a good couple months, although I always considered it beneficial and I enjoyed doing it. Having gotten back into lucid dreaming a week or so ago (an absence of almost a year, I used to and still can lucid dream at will), I also got back into conscience awareness and meditation. I did a basic silencing the mind meditation for 20 minutes, then fell asleep using MILD.

      My dream started off with me walking out of a building/courthouse with my mom, and she said something very odd, so I did a reality check.
      I did a nose RC and instantly became fully lucid. The dream was extraordinarily vivid, and I felt completely aware, and in control. I started by simply looking around and sat down in the road and touched the ground. It had tons of pebbles, like any road in RL, and I could feel them perfectly. I knew I was going to have a long lucid dream, and decided first to call someone to complete the TOTM. I was messing with my phone, but couldn't find my contacts. I didn't really feel like it was a good TOTM and couldn't remember the advanced one, so instead I decided to jump off of a skyscraper. I flew high into the air, then said "eh, fuck it I'm high enough" and just went into a free fall. I fell a few hundred feet very calmly and happily, and stopped an inch above the ground. Being done with my free fall, I closed my eyes and teleported somewhere, not deciding where, just wanting to go somewhere else.
      I found myself in a car, driving down an empty highway, not liking the idea of driving in a dream, I flew through the hood and landed back on the highway. Now it was full of cars. I went on all fours and started running. I got faster, and I got bigger. In just about two seconds I was larger than most office complexes, and running faster than the speed of light. I was crushing all the cars, and decided to make my hands more crushy. I turned them into giant black masses that looked like the hammerfist transformation in prototype. I saw a large black building and decided to get off the highway, and jumped into it, midair turning into a giant beast that looked somewhat like Spidermans Venom, and smashed 1/4 of the building off, with wires and pipes everwhere.
      When I crushed it I turned back into a normal sized human, floating above the wreckage, and I saw a couple police cars on the road with their sirens on. I blinked and teleported into the uncrushed part of the building.

      I lost lucidity, whether cause of the police or what happened next idk. It seemed like I just lost awareness, but I was still calm. I forgot something that happened in between the teleporting and this, but next I remember I was given a heavy machine gun by some guy, looked like Price from Call of Duty. He didn't say anything (I never talk to DCs) but when he gave me the gun I had a HUD show up, showing my health, a crosshair, and unlimited bullets, and some bar that didn't seem to have a purpose. I went in, and there were two fat guys with miniguns (they looked like Heavys from Team fortress 2, they were even cell shaded, but had black shirts and a black hat/beanie, like a thief). I circled them both (Price disappeared) and whenever my crosshair went onto one of them it would turn to static for some reason. I shot them both a bit when I saw the static, but it seemed as if the bullets went through them.
      Then I woke up, I opened my eyes instantly, and looked around a little, feeling the calm awareness from meditating. I noticed the lights were on, and immediately went to write down in my notebook DJ. I wrote a half a sentence, looked at it (trying to remember more) and I read up until the last word, and then it became blurry and all of a sudden

      I woke up. The dream lasted at least 30+ minutes.
      The fact that the Heavys were cell-shaded interests me, I'm going to eventually apply that to the rest of the dream world, and make it look like a dream borderlands. I do remember once having a non-lucid where I saw a cartoon character. It was either Peter from Family Guy, or some fat guy, it was hard to remember. Having both those experiences, I know I can have a cartoon dream, and I'm going to try to have a 2d cartoon dream eventually... once I figure out how it'd look/work...
