Cities in the Astral

~01/13/15 This next DEILD (9 minutes) was amazing. I came back into the dream on the same little city street. I took off flying and and the visuals and sensations were about as impressive as I ever remember. I really got the effect of great height and distance. It was very 3D and techno color. I saw way down below me a heard of wild white stallions running across the plains between a couple hills. I swooped down in a swan dive with wisps of mist blowing past me. I flew along above the heard as they ran then splashed through a stream.
I saw another area ahead the looked inhabited so I flew over there. It was some sort of market and many people were around. I saw a pretty woman sitting on a table and went up to her. I started to kiss her and she did not protest.

Suddenly my pretty female D.G. is behind me, "Eric, What exactly do you think you are doing?"

"Um, Kissing this woman?"

DG: "And?"

I look down and realize I have been playing with her breasts. "Um I guess I am feeling up this beautiful woman?"

DG: "Aren't you just going to destabilize you dream and than have to spend time recovering it?. Wouldn't it be better if you stayed focused and didn't piss off the locals. You see the interesting thing about being a foreigner is,,,,,mnhg anskk ummm,,, "

Basically at this point in the lecture I looked back down at the woman and as I played with her breast they changed into puppet breasts. I mean fake breasts made out of stuffed burlap or something (I assume D.G. changed the image when I stopped listening to her."

OK, fine, I will try to do something productive. I took up straight into the air all Superman style a bit irritated. I decided to become a meteor. I shot up over a mile high and changed into a meteor. I had assumed it would be fun, but did not account for how fast meteors hit. In a flash I crushed into the ground and reformed laying flat on shattered roadway.

The snooze went off and I really wanted to do it all again, but I did have to wake up.

~01/13/15 I hit the snooze again (9 minutes) and pictured the last scene. I started moving my legs using tactile visualization. I almost thought I was moving my real legs, but realized that was not the case as I could not be moving them very much while in bed. Suddenly I was landing in front of the temple I had seen from the sky scraper. I walked through a large red gate in the Shinto style. It was a large open area and I walked around to the right side of a half wall. I reached up and touched one of the pillars. A piece of the pillar came off in my hand and it appeared to be ancient wood eaten by ants or something.

I hear the voice of my D.G. "I really do not think you should be walking around in here."

Ok, well she has never led me wrong, and it is so damn easy for me to get in trouble on the astral, so I turn around and walk back out through the gate. I look around out front and notice a sand drift nearby. I am amazed in that it appears to be layers of brightly colored sand like you see in fancy bottles. I scooped some up in my hands and examined it. It really was impressive how bright and vivid the layers of sand were.

I took off flying from the temple towards another area off to the right and up on a new plane of gravity (weird). It seemed as if each area was on a slight different dimension and space sort of bent like a tunnel connecting them. This area was like a small city with lots of people and a road. I saw a vehicle that I pictured sort of like an old car. There seemed to be some sort of small event going on, perhaps a farmers market kind of affair. At this point the alarm went off. I hit snooze and DEILD again.

~01/13/15 I started a wonderful morning of lucidity when in a dream many family members were at my cousins house for a small X-Mas party. My mother placed some ham in her mouth. The thing is, my mother has been a vegetarian as long as I have been alive. I did a general reality check (observing for oddities), and became lucid. I interacted a small bit with my family and then went out into the street to look for something to do. At this point my alarm went off and I hit snooze, and did DEILD.

DEILD 1 (9 minute snooze)

I was now out at night on the street I spent much of my youth on. IRL I was asleep in a hotel room and had noticed pre-sleep that the mini fridge occasionally made a loud noise of pumping fluid. I had only been looking around at the imagery for about a minute when the noise started in the room. I started to wake, but told myself, "That noise is something in the dream," but what, ummm, "It is your cousin’s husband using a welder in their house, it is still under construction." The dream began to fail, but I stabilized it with mudra awareness from my Dream yoga class. I have practiced certain hand gestures over and over and can visualize them tactilely. I closed all visuals down to just one hand and felt the mudra until I could see it. The sound was still there so I reinforced that it was coming from the house in the dream, not waking life.

I knew I would need to occupy myself around the house for a few minutes so my body would continue to accept the noisy refrigerator as something in the dream and not wake. I used to date a girl who lived across the street and early on in my LD practice would go to her door and cause her to give me oral. Maybe I should try that? I looked across the street and her house is there. I walked around behind the house to her window. I tapped on the screen, knowing a pretty blonde woman would open the window.

Well,,,, A pretty brown haired woman did open the window, but it was my Dream Guide. She seemed amused and asked me what exactly I was up. I kind of timidly said I was just going to mess around with a DC until that noise stopped. She asked if maybe it would be more productive to actually do something with my dream. I notice the sound had stopped. I agreed to try and do something productive. I looked up and the house had become a great skyscraper, so I spider climbed up the side. The imagery was abbreviated and I was on top in no time.

I looked out from the top of this monstrously tall building and was amazed. The images I saw were of a city on the astral, but the dimensions and angles defied my understanding. Up above me was a floating (?) building, but it was aligned with gravity that would be perpendicular to my own. It was massive and red with intricate architecture. I considered flying to it, but somehow (DG?) understood this would not be possible from here. I looked down and the imagery was almost like tunnel vision going forward and down onto yet another plane of separate gravity, and there was some sort of temple complex down there that looked perhaps Chinese.

I began to fly down there when the snooze alarm went off. I then DEILD again.

Early January. This one is worth documenting as the control over elements was perhaps the best yet. I had been fooling around with overly compliant female DCs, but that kept forcing me to stop and stabilize. I think it reached a point where 1 minute of sex equaled 30 seconds of stabilizing. I got bored of thgis and decided to train. I have not been paying attention to TOTM so I tried to come up with anything challenging.

1) I levitated up into the air and got to eye level with some power lines. I then slowely rotated in the air unti I was completely upsided down. The graphics rotated too, which was cool if not very life like. It was as if the image was being turned until it was upside down. I did have a shift in proprioception so it felt as if I had rotated in space.

2) I decided to see how intense and life like I could make lightning come from my hands. I focused and bright white streaks shot from my hands. Not very impressed. Lets try again. I pictured the electricity you see come from a Tesla coil. A small amount of that effect came from my hands and extended a foot or so. No bigger,,, focus. I suddenly got it. A huge arc of multiple energy lines arced from a Tesla coil into the ground on the other side of me. Beautiful. Crazy amounts of electricity arcing in perfect graphics, but not from my hands. DCs began to scatter. I changed the image until the arc was from my hands. Perfect, better then the special effects of Jedis shotting force lightning.

3) I then tried fire. I was hoping for a good fireball I could throw. I was working my way up making it more realistic each time, but the only truely flame like graphics that would count as somewhat hi-def were jets of flame shooting out of my hands in pulses, about like a fire-eater blows out of his mouth at carnivals. I woke up before I could perfect a true fire ball.

mid Dec- I have been busy and not journaling. This one was worth noting. I was in the hotel and DEILD back into lucidity. I almost had an FA as I looked around and saw the exact hotel room. I spent some time with two summened bed partners. I noticed that they more or less looked the same. I thought "why have two women look the same," and intended to change them. I was impressed with just how compliant the dream and DCs were. They got up on the bed on hands and knees and patiently let me examine them. I then was able to think of the changes I wanted and they happened. I was able to maintain two DCs who behaved as I wished and modify their forms in fairly high definition. Too cool.

12/19/14 DEILD I ended up waking from the last LD and lay still in bed thinking about how strange the appearance of the woman I had spent so long trying to find all those years ago. I attempted DEILD and appeared in a dream outside what appeared to be a school. The same DC came out and now I was pretty sure it was in fact my new DG in the woman's role. She stopped first and talked to her Ex (body gaurd?) I noticed that he was getting fairly old looking. She took my arm and we talked while we walked. It was a very contented feeling dream. She stopped and turned me towards her and gave me a small sweet series of romantic kisses (very short and non-sexy). Then she was gone.

I went on with a fairly normal seeming LD, but will list a few notable parts. I decided to run and would take leaps letting eachone get longer. If I went too high An impression of powerlines would be seen ahead of me and I would get blown backwards. I tried this 3 times and had the same result. So, I appeared to be in a training area with a short ceiling. Interesting, but not suprising as I have been a bit wild lately and probably need a short leash.

I was sleeping in a hotel and people made noise talking outside. I snesed the dream fade so I convinced my mind that School kids were all around in the dream. Now the voices were inside the dream. Before long the visuals became blurry. I had to stop and focus on my hands to regain the full dream. I ran into the man she had reffered to as her EX. I was tempted to talk to him, but he seemed hostile towards me. I heard someone else call him "Combat Frank". Weird.

Shortly after this someone came up and looked like a childhood friend. They grabbed me and messed with my hair saying it was messed up. Eventually I was more awake than asleep and decided to give in and wake.

12/19/14 A couple decades ago I had a dream goal about finding a woman I had a huge crush on. I spent over 20 LDs actively attempting this. I never did it. Somehow my mind must have felt it was a violation of some sort. I one time got close enough to interact and she kept her eyes down and walked away from me with out speaking.

Last night I think the new Dream Guide took her form for some reason. We spent a lot of time together with her in that role. It was just a pleasant date with lots of arm in arm strolling and one small little kiss. I mean the kind of kiss that would be harmless if you saw your 10 year old kiss that way (a innocent peck). In the dream she was often going over and talking to an older man with out me briefly. She said he was her ex. He was always in the background. I know my first DG had a bodygaurd she ended up marrying, and this relationship looked sort of the same. He also seemed to have a smoldering animosity towards me (as did the one I just reffered too.)

At one point she entered an area surrounded by people and I was held back. A couple men appeared like bikers and seemed hostile. I told them I was waiting harmlessly and implied that if they tried to embarress me I would fight back. They backed off a bit but kept in the way.

I am now forced to wonder if this "new" DG is somehow the same woman as my first DG. Nothing in her mannerisms suggest it, but now I am not sure. The first one and me parted ways after her marriage feast, because she often stirred up conflict between me and her bodygaurd. This new(?) DJ is very soft in manner and affectionate. The first was often terrifying when teaching and forceful when affection entered the equation (as if I was a pet).

11/07/14 DILD A very long and fun LD with lots of jumping from rooftop to roof top and flying. I seem to be under close attention from my new DG as she is an every present theme now. But hey, a DG who is also hot female and friendly, can not complain about that.

I think she is now taking me to a controlled training area. I say this because the sky is fake. I can not float or fly more than perhps 30 feet above the ground. I attempted many times to get above the top of the highest tree and always hit a barrier. At the right angles I can see the lines of force forming the outer wall. This is way to short a top for the big city.

I hardly blame her for restricting my access. I can only be pleased I am still warrenting access to her and the astral realm in general. In this dream I did start to be a pervert and felt her disapproval, but I caught myself and stopped, clearly stating that I needed to learn better control and stop misbehaving. She was pleased with this and I felt like I was a pet who is praised by its owner. This does not bother me at all, as I think I need her far more than she needs me. She is far more tolerant of my sexual side and is less quick to punish than my last DG.

She took me to watch some preformance and I started talking to her. This was apparently bad behavior and I realized her displeasure right away. When I acknowledged that I messed up and corrected it she snuggled up warmly against me and we watched together. Again, a feeling as if she is almost a loving girlfriend.

11/03/14 Was very lucid for perhaps 45 minutes. I met up with DG and she got a bit mad at me because I seem to worry about sex way to much in my dreams. She started to take my dream away, so I stated that I knew I needed to learn control and focus, and stop being so wild or I would loose her.
She brought me back, and we spent the time in nice foreplay. We practiced using a stabilzation method I made up every time the dream became iffy. I would reduce all the visuals down to just one of her nipples and place my full attention into ... well you know. It worked very well and I was able to treat her right over at least 15 minutes, instead of the normal beasty dream stuff.

Two days after the last entry she came to me and announced that for now she was not allowed to bring me with her anywhere. It seems her friends despise me and feel I am an ignorant savage or something like that.
She still seems to be sticking with me though. She even made out with me after that. Perhaps she is more like a Dream Girlfriend (DG) than a Dream Guide (DG)

10/20/14 I was taken by the new female DG who seems to be the older of the 3 women I have known before, to a large event. I am feeling pretty sure The Diplomat has been reborn, and left me to her care.

I think I disappointed her. I kept finding it funny to change the visuals in order to make female guests appear topless. When she threatened to send me away, I tried to covertly make female guests hair style do silly things, like stand straight up.
I need to gain more inhabitions when astral. I should remember to stabilize and perhaps start using a mantra to remind me to behave.

I suddenly appeared outside like I had been tossed out one of the doors. I sensed 3 men around the corner and got very suspicious they intended to rough me up for messing with the female guests. I leaped up on top of a near by spire before they could act. They came out and tried throwing black energy clouds up at me. I did not throw anything back at them, as I knew I was already the bad guy here, really. Instead, I threw my own energy at theirs and thus blocked it.

I left the astral all together and practiced running upside down on ceilings. It was inspired by Inception, and I even got my prespective to cahnge so gravity seemed to come from the ceiling.

10/06/14 I woke up in the hotel this morning to my alarm and decided to try the TOTM about open a pumpkin. Like always I decided to add my own twists. I had decided that I would go to a cool field and grow a large pumpkin plant from seed and then open the pumpkin with a bolt of lightning from the sky.

I closed my eyes and thought "grow a pumpkin and look inside" about 10 times. It hit and I was in a dream. It was almost like an FA in that I was in my hotel room bed in the dream, and I was not 100% sure it was a dream yet. I look over and another bed is in the room. Oddly enough my mother is in the other bed and looking at a cat that is on the floor. Pretty sure this is a dream, but still a hint of haze. She asks what I think these cats are doing in the room. Now there are three cats in the room and one is biting another of them.
I tell her that I am pretty sure they are not real as none of this makes sense. I point out that if cats lived in this room it would smell bad and that i was just going to observe for a second. Some one walks by. That does it! "Yep, see, it is clearly a dream, our hotel room is now also a hallway with people in it. I would stay and chat but I have to go grow a pumpkin."
She stands up and looks excited, "Oh cool, can I help?"
"Sorry mom, but this is just a dream and you are not real. I have a 9 minute snooze set and need to hurry, bye!" I decide that I need to be in a place where finding pumpkin seeds will be quick, but this now looks like an airport. I start to run across the floor knowing they must have a salad bar at one of the restaurants. There it is. A salad bar appears in my path. I reach into the first bowl of topping knowing it will be pumpkin seeds.

Pumpkin seeds on a salad bar? "of course! shut up and look in your hand." Still running.

i see smallish seeds. "they look more like squash seeds, and wont they be roasted if they are on a salad bar?" Suppress that thought. Of course they are uncooked pumpkin seeds. I believe myself and keep running.

I reach an exit and start flying. "The airport is a long way from a field, should we teleport?"

No need, abridge the scenery, see there by the hill side. A hill side appears and I jet over towards it. Everything is very vivid now. A road is between me and the hill and large cranes are moving down the road. Ignore that. I get stuck up against a crane and fumble with getting around it. I get to the hill side and it does not look like a spooky autumn meadow. geese, picky aren't we for having a 9 minute window to work with.
You can do it, don't half ass it. OK, fine, there is a nice meadow around the corner. I go around the corner and am in front of the Capitol building. It is basically a nice meadow, but people are there and it is hardly spooky. You know what? close enough, plant the damn seeds.

I should just cast them out on the ground and make them sprout as they fall. No, don't cheat, plant one seed.

I bend down and grab a stick and poke a hole in the ground. A random Dc says "het you are digging in dog poop!"

Yes, it now looks like that may be true, but I alter the image, "I am digging next to it to help this seed grow."

I stick a pumpkin seed in the hole and the alarm goes off. I tell myself that I can ignore it and keep dreaming, but it soon forces me awake. well not a bad start for my first night trying.

I was lucid for many hours this night and most of it was astral. I seem to have been handed over to the woman who I was showed off to in the dream where I was being tested. She is very patient and we mostly just walked around inside a crowded building and talked. She is 100% intolerant of my trying to get touchy or cuddly with any of the woman how were there. She would make the dream go grey screen the moment I was getting distracted by women. She did not prevent me from changing the visuals so that random female DCs were topless.

I had to wake up three times to pee and was able to instantly return to her each time. Surprisingly I had quiet a bit to drink that night but it did not seem to hold me back.

The most memorable lesson was on how to consciously shift vibrational frequencies to move to a new location. These locations overlap and were shown basically like floors of a multilevel building with the shift being like operating an elevator. I still am not sure how she was doing it.

10-01 and 10-02 I have been dreaming in cartoon mode. I can control what the cartoons do, but have been witnessing them in 3rd person.

10-3-14 I was very pleased to find myself astral again and spending time with the three women. Much of the time I just snuggled up close to one of them. There was no desire for sex and emotionally it was very fufilling. In one scene we danced together and it was intense. I had an awarness of my body and a great sense of spacial awareness.
A strange part of this is that I was completely Unable to remember my real life wife. In the past I had a bit of a love affair with this astral being, but for years have felt guilty when ever I felt tenderness for her, because I am happily married. I tried to place my self in real life time and was able to recall past lovers but had fa!sent memory that I was now single. Did she cause me to be unable to remember er my wife?
