    Competition Entry # 14

    What a shame, the comp is over now - it was such great fun!! I can only hope, that I'll keep up the journalling further on...


    Going for a final effort I wanted to achieve my first WILD per WBTB - nope, again not, I gave up after 25 min., rolled over and got a DILD in the following dream.

    LD #1: I become lucid in a car-park - again I can't say, what did it, just like that. Nose-plug - yepp. I want to have a stable dream, before I do something, so I walk about doing as if nothing was, like I had before. Taking care not to interact with anything too closely, hehehe... Okay - next thing planned is my personal task, teleportation to an alien planet with meet and greet with the inhabitants. I do it by spinning very fast and imagining exotic landscape.
    When I stop, I am indeed somewhere else and have really fine optics, but it's not exotic at all - I'm on a beautiful endless field of hip-high grass, but looks very much like earth, and nobody around. So I think - okay - this is another planet, because I say so, and proof will be the alien, I will summon. There's nothing, from behind which I could have her come around, so I try this thing with hand behind my back for the first time. But nothing happens, I try for a while and wake up then...

    My very first teleportation ever!! Should have just put that as personal task - typical over-ambition biting me in the butt! But I'm very excited about it - there will be a lot of lucid spinning coming up!!


    Dream #1: I'm back at the house - it gets on my nerves, in hindsight, but I'm always happy about finding it in the dream. Somebody else lived in the bungalow, and that was what we might get back, even while people have bought it. They made a hole in the front wall for a big door to the garden, behind it they had created a room, which you could use as a winter-garden. Whatever. The grass in the garden was over knee-high, and I wanted to get out the scythe for cutting it, but then came from the neighbouring house a guy on a mowing machine, sitting on it, driving it, and he did the job for me. When he was through, there were tons of dandelion plants, just the green stuff, and I went at them with some digging tool. Then a girl comes around, says hi - wants to play darts with me - well - of course!! But we don't have a board, we have some weird plastic thing, lying on the floor, and throw at that.

    Dream #2: Theoretically I am at university, but turns out, I can't understand the stuff, and have to go back to school. I first think, this will be repeating the last class, but turns out they put me in 8th grade, and tried to not tell me about it. Well - yeah - not much worth of describing - it's about maths, what I didn't understand, and I tried to get books for that, and didn't help. I meet a friend from school, who does some boring job at the reception of a hostel, and think, naa - you got to go through with it, not to end up in a job like hers, but it's humiliating to be with the kids in a class. Yeah - last scene - I miss the bus despite running all out...

    Dream #3: It has elements from the book I started at the moment 'The Bohr Maker' by Nagata Linda - great science fiction. It's about a nano-technologically modified guy, illegally so, and he tries to be allowed to be left living. He has something, which helps him breathe back his own oxygen continuously by using a sort of collar, which covers up his mouth and nose and ears, too. He's hiding in our flat from the police, and my husband comes up with the idea of feeding him into his computer, and then manifesting him as a cartoon-figure, which jumps off from the screen, looking like Super Mario, and maybe 15 cm of height. He's doing all these sounds and pirouettes and things, like in the video game. For some reason, this is allowed, and he's very happy.

    Fragment #1: I said not long ago, I wouldn't dream of posting - since then, I do! Yeah - about the dangers of lucidity - I forgot, what somebody saw as a problem, and who all posted replies to that...

    Fragment #2: On my way home, and again, there's another way, which I am sure, I saw before in another dream, but which doesn't exist.

      Hey Steph, this is great! Lucid spinning can be a lot of fun, and I'm glad you got to use it to teleport! I have tried it as a stabilization technique in the past (per Stephen LaBerge) but find it works a lot better for making a new dream scene Congrats on all your lucid success these past two weeks!

      Awesome dream!! I am sucker for any nature related dreams....

      Thank you two!
      Yeah - I tried spinning only twice, as far as I remember - one time was ten years back, and it put me in the void - another time lately, too. But then I had used it to stabilize a vanishing thing, not go from here to there in a pretty stable dream to begin with.
      I'm very excited about it - can't wait to experiment with it further, actually!

      Hehehe, when I read a DJ I read it whole.

      Great dreams, although this blog system makes it hard to read in order for me but! I noticed that you are, I don't know... relaxed? The nights you get lucid, it seems that either the dreams before/the one in which you get lucid are more relaxed than normal. Like the opposite of most people, where they get lucid when there is a lot of stress like nightmares.

      Don't know, since I'm only interpreting the stuff I read, but bet you know better about the feeling during each one!

      Uups - just now noticed your comment, Hukif!
      Thank you!
      Yeah - I usually get lucid in the midst of dreamy peace. Usually when standing somewhere and thinking. I guess that's the standard situation - hard to say now for sure - but the last few were like that. I hardly ever have nightmares at all - and if I do, they are more of a social awkwardness sort - arguing with somebody, somebody being mean and condescending, putting me down, endlessly criticising me or stuff like that. Hardly any "monsters" at all, if you don't count my mother...
