    1. 1-29-11 Road made of skittles and cigarette case attempt

      by , 02-05-2011 at 05:18 AM
      Daniel and Ansel were trying to get into my room. They wanted to borrow my guitar pedals. They said Ansel brought a guitar over but I didn't believe them(Ansel has lied to me many times in real life, and it's always obvious that he is). I was super out of it the whole time. I was trying to sleep but kept getting up to keep them out. I could hardly keep my eyes open. I kept leaning on the door to kept them out. I heard Chris tell them to try the other door so I went and blocked it. I kept laying back down and trying to get back to sleep. At one point I woke up in a parking lot holding my yellow pajama pants. I saw my moms old car and got in the back seat. My green shirt was in there and I used the clothes as a pillow and laid down. "they won't bother me here", Ithought. But they did, and good thing, because this is when I realized this was a dream. I got in the front seat and started driving around extremely fast. Really sloppy too, going over the lines. There was a bunch of traffic ahead so I decided to fly over it.

      I drove out into the country. I was driving down this road and it started to rise up like an overpass but it kept going higher. I drove up it a while then remembered my goal. I pulled over and tried to pull the cigarette case out of my pockets, but it didn't work. I checked all my pockets and nothing. I kept walking up the road. It was leveling off a bit now. There were these huge flowers that looked like the ones from super mario bros that come out of the pipes. The had mouths, but didn't move. It was like each one was a frame from an animation and each one was just slightly different from the last. I started to lose the visual but stayed focused on walking. When the image came back it was a road made of rocks. This happened again but when it came back it was made of skittles now. I saw this weird looking purple alien cow and pushed him off the road, which was hysterical for some reason.

      The road seemed to fall apart and I lost the visual for a long time. I might have woken up briefly. Then I was in a house. It looked old and deserted, dusty and dark. I tried searching my pockets again but still nothing. I saw a mirror and when I looked into it I had my brown hoodie on and started thinking maybe it's in my hoodie pocket. I saw a bulge in the pocket in the mirror. I reached in and at first it felt like the case but when I took it out it was my phone. I explored the house but I don't remember what I saw.

      I found a dresser with some drawers. I opened one but don't remember what was in it, I was sort of frantic and not really looking. Then I opened the drawer above that and saw something that looked like a joint. I picked it up and it was one/became one, the image sort of changed when I focused on it. I was trying to make the case appear so it didn't exactly work, but close enough.

      I walked down the hall. I heard some girls voices behind one of the doors and went in and sat down to smoke with them. It took forever to get it lit and by the time I had I was waking up a little. It didn't really smoke right either, but the dream was fading. It kind of expanded as it burned and almost turned back into the shape of a bud. I only took one hit and passed it then woke up.

    2. 1-26-11 Concert Goal for MILD class

      by , 02-05-2011 at 05:06 AM
      I lay in bed for a long time trying to fall back to sleep. I heard my little brother playing out in the hall and figured school must have been canceled since he left right before I went back to bed. He kept getting louder and louder until he was right next to my bed being really loud. I jumped out of bed and yelled why are you in my room, I'm trying to sleep! Then I noticed that I wasn't in my room, I was downstairs and had been sleeping on the couch. I knew I went back to bed in my room so I thought this must be a dream. I put my finger through my hand to check. Then I went upstairs to my room to look for Madison, who I thought would be there for some reason. It was dark and I tried to flick the lights on but it didn't work(duh). I said her name to see if she was there but she wasn't. I started to clamber down the stairs but I realized that I was getting too excited and tried to calm myself down. I felt the walls as I walked downstairs and used the sensation to keep me in the dream.

      I walked out the front door and there were two huge wide apple trees, one on both sides of the walk. There were giant green apples on the tree, the size of small cantaloupes, and I grabbed a few. I walked out into the street. There were two guys in weird outfits on bikes. They were riding in circles and doing stunts. One guy tried to do a backflip and landed on his face. I threw an apple and hit him in the head when he got back on his bike.

      Then I tried to fly, but couldn't. So I decided to climb the walls instead. I was next to a fence so I jumped most of the way up and climb on top. I remember it being hard to get on top. Then I climbed onto the roof of a house. I decided to go to Ben;s for some reason but I think I just went inside of the house I was on. I said something to Ben's brothers and his mom. Then I went upstairs to this hallway with no doors that led to another staircase going back down. I turned around and Madison was there. She said so you've been looking for me and kissed me. Then we walked downstairs and went outside holding hands. When we got outside she turned into a different person, she had a different hairstyle and face. I tried to turn her back, she changed and looked more like her but it didn't really work. I said, your not Madison. She said, so? I said something else and walked down the street and started looking for her again. The street turned into a busy downtown street all lit up with neon signs, like in NYC. There were shops and vendors everywhere and I went around looking for her.

      *CONCERT GOAL*

      Then there was some kind of power outage and almost all the lights went out. It was late, dark out. I saw some lights up ahead and walked toward them. There was a crowd of people and I saw a stage. I remembered the concert goal and earnestly walked closer. When I got to the front it was a rap concert and I was thoroughly disappointed. I got up on stage and said something like pshaw this is wack(AHAHAH, pshaw is a word in the spellchecker but wack is not). I looked at a spot on the stage and said Marshall stack. It didn't work exactly but I made this foam mat appear. The I said twin reverb a couple times. I managed to make some speakers appear but they were small ones, like stage monitors. Then I made a bass amp that was a little bigger, but still really small. I saw the other guitarist carry an amp out from backstage. I went back to find another and saw this tweed amp that looked like my friend derricks. When I picked it up it looked completely different. It had a bunch of nobs, switches and lights of different shapes and colors and the front was angular. I carried it out on stage where everything was set up now. I plugged in and started playing a few notes to check the sound. Then I started playing this light jam that built up into this trem picking melody. I couldn't keep up with it because I was sleeping on my arm and it wasn't working right(I noticed this when I went to pick up the amp too). I couldn't get a good look at the audience but there were less people now, maybe 50 tops.

    3. 1-23-11 3 short LDs

      by , 02-05-2011 at 04:56 AM
      I had 3 LDs in a row that were almost identical. I was in my room and I stuck my finger through my hand. I immediatly tried to find a way out of my room so I could smoke(apparently I didn't trust it enough to be a dream to smoke inside). In one I was woken up by noises made by people in real life before I could get anywhere. In the other two I slipped out my window. It was really strange, I could go through the glass like it wasn;t there, but not the metal, so I had to slip through the tiny panes. When I made it outside I looked around and started thinking about where I could find some weed. I always got woken up by people making noise before I could do anything.

    4. 1-23-11 Cigarette case goal, first attempt

      by , 02-05-2011 at 04:54 AM
      I was in my kitchen. My mom was arguing with my brother, trying to get him to do his homework. I was really irritated because I wanted them to be quiet. Then I remembered the reason I wanted them to be quiet was so that I could get back to sleep. I stuck my finger through my hand and became lucid. I walked toward the front door. I noticed it was locked but I just opened it as if it wasn't. I walked south. There were a bunch of people outside, more than I had ever seen in real life(I realize now that this happens a lot in my dreams). I tried to pull a cigarette case out of my pocket but it wasn't there. I tried all my pockets(my mind was moving to fast to really focus on the task). Then I saw Ian. I said Ian, do you still have my cigarettes. He said yeah and threw a pack at me. It went out of my line of sight and when I looked where they were there was just a cellophane wrapper floating in the air. I asked him where they went and he threw them to me again, the exact same image, but this time straight to me and I caught them. I was close to bancroft which was a blur of speeding cars and I turned around. I opened the pack and saw many different kinds of cigarettes, but no weed. I didn't really want a cigarette so I just kept throwing them out looking through the pack. Then I saw a car and decided I wanted to see what it would be like to get hit by a car. I ran at it as fast as I could but I wasn't fast enough and it was gone. I looked through the cigarettes more, don't remember anything else.

    5. 1-22-11 Room full of paintings(Artec)

      by , 02-05-2011 at 04:49 AM
      I lay in bed conscious of my real body again laying as still as I could. Thoughts started to come but I sort of focused on my brain and they stopped. Not sure exactly what I was doing, it was very intuitive. It was like my thoughts had a lot of unconscious desire behind them that moved them but if I looked at them they stopped. I felt my consciousness sliding backwards/upwards into my brain. I got kind of excited because I knew I was about to go straight back into another LD and the process jarred and stopped. I calmed myself down and it started again and I watched as I slipped into a dream
      I was in bed. I felt very strange. My head hurt like I had been thinking extremely hard, harder than I actually could in waking life. My movement was all screwed up too, I'm guessing this is caused by SP seeping into the dream. I rolled over and it felt like I might have opened my eyes(my real ones). I saw my meditation cushion superimposed over the dream, everywhere I looked it floated in the air. I got out of bed in a jerky motion and had to grab the doorknob immediately because I had no balance.
      The image went away when I steeped out into the hall but my movement was still pretty screwed up. I saw myself in a mirror. My boxers were bunched up and I had a shirt on that looked odd too. I wasn't 100% sure it was a dream though I assumed it was. I looked to the left in the direction of the computer room and instead I saw a huge archway that looked like the on downstairs only at least 3x bigger. From this I knew it was a dream. The room it led to was big but completely empty. I ran around it excitedly. I ran around exploring other rooms but I don't remember what was in them, they were all fairly barren. I saw a bunch of archways, smaller than the first, but all in a row. They looked like infinite regression in mirrors. I decided I wanted to go step into a mirror. I found one and ran at it but it didn't work, I just crashed into it and ran off laughing. Then I remember that one of my goals is to step into an MC Escher drawing or a Van Gogh painting. I decided that I would find one in the next room I walked into. I walked into the room, and there was a painting, but it wasn;t by either of them(it looked sort of like one of these, but more angular, more based off my own aesthetics). I stared at it transfixed realizing that this painting was a spontaneous creation of my own subconscious. There were animals in it but I can't really remember what it was of. There was an artists signature on it that said Artic or Artec(Artec is the brand of one of my guitar pedals). As I stared at the painting more paintings popped up all around the room. I don't remember any of them vividly, but they were all by the same artist(all had the signature) in the same style. I was too awestruck to try to step into one.

    6. 1-22-11 Burnside

      by , 02-05-2011 at 04:45 AM
      I was lying there trying to fall asleep again after the first LD telling myself, I am going to have a LD. I got pretty comfortable and sleepy and my mind started to wander. I started thinking about skateboarding, about Burnside(the cement skatepark in the original tony hawk game) and what it would be like to do 540s and 720s over the spine, landing on the ground. I started to get some HI and saw an image of this, 3rd person. Then I was dreaming, I was at the top of a giant wooden rollin. It wasn't very steep but it was 20-40 feet tall. There were two ledges and one of them went down the rollin. I thought how could you skate these? Then I was sitting on the ledge that went down with my board on the ground riding down it. I became lucid while moving and decided to air off the quarter pipe across from it. I was going extremely fast. I launched into the air and became nervous because I had never done this in real life and didn't know what to expect. I was about 10 feet above the coping and I started flying because it wasn't working right. I got too excited and woke up, but not all the way.

    7. 1-22-11 Jazz Master Class

      by , 02-05-2011 at 04:41 AM
      I was typing a of paper on my friends macbook. I was in bed and I remember sitting with it on my lap feeling the heat from the computer. I was typing it in internet explorer instead of a word processor for some reason. I was typing it on two different tabs. In one I was typing ideas into little boxes and on the other I was typing on this blank green screen with no borders. The elder scrolls 4 kept popping up and interupting me. When I tried to close it another menu opened up. I kept getting interupted and i couldn't get comfortable in bed so I thought about using my bed as a table and sitting on a folding chair in my room. Then I decided it would be easier to just go set up on the computer desk in the other room.
      When I went to walk there I walked through this hall where a jazz performance was going on. Some teachers from my school where playing but I couldn't really tell who. I kept going into the computer room. When I got there it looked completely different. It was a really nice study with bookshelves couches and a coffee table. It actually looked somewhat like my friend Ben's room but nicer. Ben, David and Adam* were in there and we talked for a bit, but I felt agitated since I couldn't do my work and kinda bored so I went back to the jazz performance. It looked like they were just finishing the last song, but it turned out they were just waiting for a singer. She walked out wearing a blue sparkly dress and the piano player gave her a big introduction. Then she didn't even sing. I saw an open seat up front and went and sat down. Then it turned into a master class. The piano player was teaching it and said something about a 13 bar major swing. He asked some people to come up to learn what he was teaching, one girl got up, then he asked me if I wanted to give it a try. I'm not too confident on the piano so I was reluctant at first, but then I thought, what the heck, even if I make a fool of myself it doesn't really matter, I shouldn't pass up the opportunity for a free lesson. This lack of fear was my first tip that I might be dreaming, it didn't register consciously but I could feel a shift. As I walked up there I saw two gay guys in their underwear standing on a balcony or overpass sort of thing smoking cigarettes(went to a fucked up website yesterday trying to find information about a movie). There was something wrong about the dimensions of the piano too, so I stuck my finger through my hand. A DC next to me said what the fuck are you doing?!? I laughed. I thought about going off and doing my own thing, but I wanted to see what the piano player was going to teach me. He played this lick that was 3 successive 3 note patterns played 3 times each(the last one might have been played an extra time or lead into something else)They might have been Eb Db B, Db B A, Db A Gb, but I couldn't really get the lick. I kept asking him what the first note was and would he at least play it so I could hear it, but he wouldn't. My hand(my real one) got extremely itchy and I woke myself up scratching it on my stubble.

    8. 1-20-11 Pools in suburbia

      by , 02-03-2011 at 07:00 PM
      I was walking in a suburban neighborhood. There were swimming pools everywhere full of bright blue water. Even in the gutters of the street there was crystal blue water, this tipped me off it might be a dream. I stuck my finger through my hand and became lucid. I walked to a nearby house where I heard people yelling and walked inside to the lower part of the house(it was on a hill). I decided before I opened the door that I would find a nice fat joint on a table inside(I've been wanting to try to use the sensation of smoking as a dream anchor, plus I'm taking a break from smoking for a while so I really wanted some weed). But no luck. I saw a desk with 3 drawers on it. I decided that I would find a joint in there, but again no luck. I kept opening the first drawer and everytime it was different, but no weed. First it was empty, then full of nondescirpt junk, then full of silverwear, then hypodermic needles, then empty again. I stepped back a moment and thought of how I could make it work. I imagined that it was the drawer that I usually keep my weed in and opened it. This time there was a weird peice of glass that looked like a combination between a jar I have and a pipe I have, but no weed. I wandered off, don't remember anything else.

    9. 1-20-11 Led Zep and smashing stuff

      by , 02-03-2011 at 06:59 PM
      In another, I was walking down a street in some sort of complex with a bunch of buildings on a little road. I heard a Led Zeppelin song in my head. Something made me think I was dreaming, maybe just that I had just fallen asleep and was still remembering what I was think when falling asleep and some of the HI I saw. So I tore this huge metal sign out of the ground, one of the ones you can change the words around on. I knew I was dreaming because I wouldn't have been able to do this, but to be sure I smashed the sign onto another sign or something that was nearby to see how it broke. It broke into small fragments they way things usually do in my dreams. I got excited and was gonna do something(can't remember what) but I got too excited and woke up.

    10. 1-20-11 Lightning strike attempt

      by , 02-03-2011 at 06:58 PM
      I had another dream before this where I tried the TOTM but failed. I was in my house, I don't remember what I was doing but something tipped me off that this might be a dream, so I put my finger through my hand. I became lucid and my first thought was to go do the task of the month so I went outside. It was night and the clouds were sparse. I focused on them and tried to make more appear. They started swirling around and a few more popped up but not enough for a storm. Then these weird red ribbons of energy started swirling around closer to the ground. It was really cool, sort of like something you'd see on an acid trip, but I sensed that I was making them swirl like that somehow. I tried to focus on the clouds and make more of them, make them darker. I was able to a little but no storm. I think I wandered around my yard a bit then I woke up.

    11. 1-20-11 Basic ToTm January

      by , 02-03-2011 at 06:57 PM
      I was in a room that looked like my bedroom at my parents cottage, but the furniture was different, no bed, more chairs and a table. There was a group of people there talking about LDing. There was an old guy(LOL percy, this is you) leading the discussion. He said something about the next class, and a guy who was taking notes asked him a question. I realized this was a projection of the MILD class from last night and became lucid. I thought about what I was going to do and decided I was gonna jump out the window and go do the ToTm. I lookoed at the shade and watched as it turned darker outside like it would if a storm was approaching. I grabbed the shade and swung out the window tarzan style onto the porch.
      (At this point A Flaming Lips song off At War With the Mystics starts playing in my head, super happy)
      It was already raining but not that heavily. I looked up at the sky and felt the rain on my face to increase lucidity. Then I caught some rain in my mouth cause I was damn thirsty. I focused on making the clouds darker and watched as they thickened and grew darker. I got too focused on one spot and the clouds formed a kind of pyramid, with a super black cloud on top. The pyramid shot out a big orange blast of energy when I started thinking about lightning. I knew this wasn't gonna cut it for the TOTM despite how cool it looked, so I looked away at another part of the sky. I focused on the sound of the thunder and tried to make some lightning to go with it. At first there were just sparks up in the clouds, then some lightning shot downward but it never reached the ground. I felt myself losing control and I knew I wouldn't be able to hold the dream much longer, so I decided that the next lightning strike would hit me and it did. It didn't feel like much, almost like being hit by a column of air. I wasn't electrocuted nor felt anything tingly like I expected. But it did knock me on the ground. I laid there looking at the sky. Now things really started to come apart. I held the dream for about 10 secs and woke up.

    12. 1-18-11 Blue Tooth

      by , 01-19-2011 at 06:05 AM
      I was sleeping when I heard someone playing drums downstairs. I went out in the hallway and yelled, "STOP IT, I"M TRYING TO SLEEP!". One of the guys replacing the carpet on the stairs said, "oh, sorry" and I went back into my room and laid back down. Then my cell phone rang, it was on the bookshelf, which is strange because I never keep it there. It was Jake(who I never talk to and don't have his number). We started talking about smoking weed or partying and I noticed all my bottom teeth were loose. I started to feel nervous. Then one fell out and I panicked and thought about how permanent this was. I told Jake I had to call him back. I looked at the tooth, it was dark blue, like a piece of candy and gritty. I went and looked in the mirror and I had to rows of bottom teeth. Then I remembered that my teeth falling out is a dreamsign. I flipped the lightswitch on and off and nothing happened. Then I went to the batheroom and did the same. I was extremely excited and wanted to run around shouting, "It's A DREAM> MY TEETH ARE OK!" but then I thought about the guys replacing the carpet and didn't want to freak them out. But then I realized they were just dream characters so I ran down the stairs(they seemed to have disappeared). I decided that I wanted to drive around in a red corvette and smoke a joint(I tried smoking a cigarette in my last dream and was unsuccessful). I walked out to my garage. It was empty, so I decided I'd close the door and when I reopened it there'd be a corvette in there. I closed it with my mind and turned around. I was getting spun out from being so excited and was starting to wake up. I tried to look at the sky and focus on the details to keep myself grounded. The sky was a dark, a tannish light brown color, and the barren trees looks ominous and depressing against it. I tried to pull a cigarette case full of joints out of my pocket but don't remember what happened next, must have woken up.
