¡Single Sentence Sizzler!® 09.08.2010Oh, Cruel Dreams! (DILD) ★★☆☆☆NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Originally Posted by Mzzkc Catching a glimpse of the television, I noticed an intense advertisement for the new season of Arrested Development which, after sending me into fits of joyful mirth, triggered an RC, as I came to realize this news was too good to be true; I cried at my newfound lucidity and took my sorrow out on some shinigami sparring in the driveway.

★★ Short Lucid I remember being chased on a street by a man in a car. I headed down into some Ravine. A Klingon's head emerged from the water. He said "this way". I followed him into the water. The sensation hit me that I was dreaming. I jumped out of the water and flew in between some bushes. I landed with my hand on the ground I looked at it and started counting. I wanted to try counting past 10 but on 11 i woke up. (i forgot to imagine the segments as units of time stretching out) Water ways Vague dream about swimming in a town where all the roads were made of water. Night at the museum pool I was in some weird museum. i was also swimming somewhere with someone. I saw something in the water like a black pipe sticking out. It changed shape and then phased back to it;s old shape. I said something's wrong here. The person said he felt the water moving. I looked down a hallway and saw a huge wave of water ready to sweep us away.
23.07.2010Best Picks of The Lot (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Dream: Tearing it Down ★★★☆☆There has been a recent strand of some kind of white powdery substance circulating the streets. People who take it are usually never heard from again. As it turns out, this stuff makes anyone into a demi-vampire whose uncontrollable transformation turns the unfortunate soul into a young girl (age ranging from the late teens to early twenties). After unwillingly becoming one of these beings, I partake in some shenanigans whilst transformed, seducing an 'important' person in my old church, only revealing my true intent once I had gotten him into his car. He ran screaming, to my delight. Afterwards, I'm conscripted by two true vampires and a small band of demis who reveal to me, along a tropical stone beach, the source of the white powder. Lining the ocean-side, as far as the eye can see, are oil-rig-like structures pounding the ground into a fine, magic dust and releasing pillars of smoky pollutants into the atmosphere. We destroy everything, sparing no one. Lucid Dream: Taking a Bite Out of Crime ★★★☆☆Ridiculous people are being ridiculous. Their ridiculousity triggers my lucidity, but everything is super hazy. I stabilize by grabbing something extra weird and purpley and then chomping down on it with mine mouth teeths. The rush of sensations is enough to pull me into the dream, and solidify my control. I'm outside on a town street. Various shops and other places of interest frame the sidewalk. Some cars pass by on the intersecting street up ahead, but the few cars on this street, including one puke-green PT Cruiser, are parked in a parallel fashion. Naiya shows up out of nowhere and we immediately stop a criminal using basic dream powers like TK, or something. After that, we hang out for a bit before I let myself wake up. Really wish I could remember more of this one. =/ Fragments: Do You Remember That One Time At Band Camp? ★☆☆☆☆Several fragments of me seeing Naiya in what I believed to be RL, and asking her about the dream from before, go here. Dream: Into the Stratos! ★★★★☆I have the pleasure of being pre-Shippuden Naruto and joining all the needless drama going on with Sakura. She gets upset and runs off, just before some bad dude comes and stops the squad from leaving. Sosuke tries to leave by fighting his way out, but gets put in his place quite handily. Switching perspectives, I'm now myself, hanging out in tall grass for gods know what reason. But no matter, it's time. . . Teleporting to the meeting location, I find Sakura standing there, wiping her face. I ask if she's ready to go; she nods. Taking her arm, I teleport to the next target. The kid--he couldn't be older than ten--sees me and waves. I motion to him and we all begin to run toward the ship. By now, they'd be looking for us. Time was short, so I decided we needed to move faster. And what's faster than teleportation? Pulling the three of us together, I instantly transport everyone to my space cruiser. We get inside, I take the controls, and we take off. Unfortunately, I have a lot of trouble getting the damn thing out of the atmosphere. I waste a lot of fuel, and burn out most of the ships engines, before switching to auto-pilot. At that point, I have to actually fuel the ship with my lifeforce in order to keep us all from plummeting to our deaths. Now well on our way, but with me on the verge of death, Sakura is kind enough to transfer some of her life energy in order to keep me alive. But not until I ask nicely. Dream: Adventure Time! ★★☆☆☆Flying over Africa, I can't wait to explore the vast and exotic stretches of water below me. There were small basins, large bayous, medium sized lakes. So many environments to adventure through! And adventure I did. Dream: Beached ★☆☆☆☆Hanging out in front of the beach-front property me and my friends were planning to stay at, I wait for them to show up. . . Still waiting. . . . . Maybe I should read this sign again?

People don't like my journal here. I won't be posting much here anymore. ★★ park Just vaguely remember going through a park. WTF i was walking along some hill. I came across a bobcat that just ran over someone. the man driving it was upset that he ran over someone. He wanted me to let him know when he had gone far enough. He drove close to my boot and I made a stop sign with my hand. He kept going and ran over my foot. i motioned him to back up and he did. He got out and we helped the person he ran over. The person lying on the ground was my old room mate J. for some reason we thought the best way to heal him was to bury him! So we dug a 6 ft hole in the ground. put him in a coffin and placed him there in the hole and buried him. Itold him good luck and he waved before we shut the lid. dog I was in my living room with a golden retriever. i remember playing with it. It reminded me of my childhood dog Wilson. Starcraft 3 i'm playing a game of staarcraft online. I figure out that I can place velociraptors on the battle field. I place 30 of them on the map but they all get killed right away. dream in which I fight an invisible dog This dream starts off where i'm in some place for a gathering of people at a table. I'm smoking a cigarette and notice a small child is nearby. I think I should smoke around children so I put it out. The Childs mother is an Asian woman (Asuka). They leave and I follow thema few minutes later. I'm walking down an alleyway towards my old house in didsbury. I run into gary and see he's wearing a placstic mask over his face. He tells me to beware: that there's an invisible dog attacking people in the neighborhood. He hands me his plastic mask and goes on his way. The plastic mask is a bottle. I can feel the presence of something near so I hold out the plastic bottle. I see teeth marks indent on the bottle and I have a bit of a tug of war with the invisible dog. I decide the dog just wants the plastic to bite so I let him have it. I come to the back gate of my house and pick up something with bristles on it. Between my two hands i make the handle roll and the bristles spin around. I hear a harpsichord sound come from it when I do that. I find a door to play the bristles on. I keep spinning them on the door and made a harpsichord version of a populare theme. After a while all the bristles fall off. I go into the house and see Asuka sitting on the couch with two children. She's watching TV and looks extremely depressed about something. I go to ask her what's wrong when I wake up.
★★ Megadeth I had a vague dream about listening to megadeth. I was outside somewhere at night time.... I think i was creating my own music spells using Megadeth songs. Hand I had some HH flashes of walking around and looking at my hand. Asuka Vague dream about Holding Asuka because she was upset about something. I think it was because i have sucha tough time getting lucid and remembering her. She really wants to be remembered more by me. Chat I was on Skype chat with a bunch of DV members. some girl was ranting about all the guys she slept with. I didn't really care to hear about it really. Hopefully my recall improves tonight.
Low recall ★★ Yappy dog from hell I'm in one of my old friend's houses. I am suppose to take all the dogs (about 3) out the door and leave them outside. One small little dog doesn't want to go. It bite my hand hard. I spend minutes trying to pry it's teeth from my hand. Now, I like all animals... but this dog was from hell. Like if satan incarnated to earth as a bikini blond woman This would be her dog. I managed to get to the door and slowly pry it off my hand. I then threw it out the door and shut it fast. I walked back down the hallway and there was a guy there with dark skin. He said in a high pitched voice. "haha, that dog is just gonna come in through an open window and attack you again. sure enough i see it running towards me so I try to punch it as it jumps at me. It manages to latch it's teeth right onto my fist. Flying V 3rd person view of seeing some space ships fly in a V formation. The middle ship is evil and is trying to blow up all the other ships. The other ships manage to destroy it. The ship spins out of control. I am expecting to see an epic space explosion. But the base turns into a wounded eagle and two men separate from it and fall to earth. My vision follows them to the ground. Suddenly I am there with them. The two men are like "shit, we're stranded on this god forsaken planet... what shall we do?" They decide to cook up the eagle for food. they sit, talk and munch. I see a blue house nearby and wonder if it's inhabited. Raven's dream I'm reading a dream by raven knight about a dream that happened earlier in the night. It reads something like. "I am with MoSh and we are walking around in a park. I am so excited to meet him in real life. But wait a minute... I actually don't remember meeting him first. How did I get here with him? This causes me to RC, I pinch my nose and become lucid. "MoSh!" I say. "we are dreaming!" Asuka just a flash of being with Asuka. HH A lucid image of looking at my hand.
13.06.2010Restless Night Was Restless (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Fragment: It's The Throat, I Swear ★☆☆☆☆I'm apologizing to those around me for my terrible singing. Coughing, I blame it on my sore throat. Fragment: Warriors For Hire ★☆☆☆☆Warriors are needed for some kind of job or task. I can't help but thinking of Raven, MoSh, Nomad, and the rest of the gang. Fragment: The End of the Beginning of the End that Started it All ★☆☆☆☆On a certain day, at a specific time, in a definite place, good would be pit against evil in a battle for the world's soul, or something like that. It turned out to be much more small scale than that, though. Dream: Horsing Around ★★★☆☆Enjoying a fun game of HvZ, I soon discover three prized horses have been stolen! We put the game on pause and begin tracking them down. I end up finding them in, and I quote, "One of my favorite HvZ hiding places," which turned out to be a broken down silo. Sending out a mass text, I joined the horde as we converged upon the silo, surrounding the thieves and blocking all escape routes. Confronting them, I use my TK to pull them and their saddles off the horses and into the water. One is a friend of my girlfriend and thinks my girlfriend is responsible for the TK antics, so I just keep letting them believe that as I screw with them some more. Eventually we return the horses and strap permanent saddles on them covered in nails to prevent future theft. Dream: New Music ★★☆☆☆A bunch of "famous" musicians have invited me to join an experimental band they were forming. Accepting their invitation, I got to emulate playing Bass and Drums at the same time using a very odd instrument. The music we ended up producing drew elements from Indie, Metal, and Classic Rock, and actually sounded really good.

12.06.2010Just Another Night (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Dream: Office Shenanigans ★★☆☆☆It's another day at the office. I'm working on changing certain security settings for specific accounts, but am distracted when a lively character comes into the office. She starts up a racing circuit of some kind that involved jumping, running, and phasing over, around, and through cubicles. She invites me to join, since there's only three racers in the circuit, but I'm hesitant to take her up on the offer. Dream: Bringing Down The House ★★★★☆I storm into the headquarters of what seems to be a corrupt syndicate, headed by a man with silver hair. Confronting him directly, as women and guards surrounded him, I let him know I was going to bring his whole operation down. When I called him by his name, he freaked out and fled. He managed to get away from me in the most bizarre and surreal manner, but I knew about his most recent plan. It involved putting on a play for a local school as a front for a much larger ploy, and that was my ticket in. I go to the school and work my way further into the operation, taking out or avoiding any opposition along the way. The dream ended before I could complete my objective. DILD: Numbah One ★☆☆☆☆Hey, it's a dream! The bird wakes me up. DILD: Numbah Two ★☆☆☆☆That's right, this is a dream! The bird wakes me up. . . again. DILD: Numbah Three ★☆☆☆☆Oh cool, I'm dreaming! I really hope. . . Gorram bird. . .
Haven't had one of these kinda updates in awhile. 02.06.2010Love and War (DEILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Dream: Never Gonna Give You Up ★★★☆☆My Girlfriend breaks up with me after seeing a girl I was teaching something to grab my hands. I try to explain the situation, but she storms off. I spend the rest of the dream trying to 'get her back', all the while slowly uncovering bits and pieces of a conspiracy that was designed to split us up. Fragment: Is Everything Okay? ★☆☆☆☆Raven Knight makes an appearance and seems concerned over my well being. I assure her everything is great and invite her to join whatever it was that was going on at the time. Fragment: Check This Out! ★★☆☆☆I'm showing random people the room I was staying in wherein Raven was sleeping on the bed. DILD: Flood Waters ★★☆☆☆I'm trying to navigate through my flooded dormitory via Hover. Realizing it's a dream, I exit the building through my neighbor's window and fly around a bit before waking into an FA. FA Into DILD: *CLASSIFIED* FA Into DILD: *ALSO CLASSIFIED* DEILD: DG Entrance Exam ★★★★☆Searching for a DG, I am hailed over by a DC who refused to be ignored. Going by the name of Burnes or Burmes (he pretended to play dumb when I re-asked him) he claimed to be a DG. Trusting him for the moment, I asked him if he could train me. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Can you fight?" He responded with a wide, toothy, inhuman grin, boasting about his skill, using terminology I didn't quite catch. From there we begin to spar. Neither of us can get a decent hit in with our swords, and he absorbed or ignored my fairly wimpy energy blasts. Things started to get serious when I went Bankai and subsequently pulled down my Vizard mask. As my desire to kill and destroy grew stronger, he and the environment transformed. Him into a large muscular man with a smooth, black, oval, almost demonic, silver accented head. The environment into an apocalyptic and hellish version of my neighborhood. Immediately, he unleashed a ridiculous volley of elemental attacks into me, which just as quickly took their toll. Falling back to earth, I feel myself dying. But I wasn't giving in that easily. As he passed by to my right, I quickly righted myself and unleashed a powerful bolt of lightening through his heart. Shocked, he returned to normal, and before he could anything else I trapped his head in an orange tornado immobilizing him. Then I woke up.
11.05.2010Battle on The Moon (Non-lucid) ★★☆☆☆NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID A man I recognize as Q shows up to take me to the battle on the moon Raven said I could come help with. I am told we're going to need numbers, so I whip up a huge army to aid in the fight. Q transports all of us there and the fight begins immediately. I take the lead of my group (there were already many others fighting) by flying in with my Katana and skillfully slicing up a large demon. Then my roommate's alarm goes off. Oddly, I was still able to see and act within the dream even though I was awake. I'm pretty sure we ended up winning.
All from one LD. 04.05.2010Outburst (DILD) ★★★☆☆NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I struggled fervently against the sheets that trapped me to my bed. Every slight movement was a struggle, and the possibility of being snapped back down to my mattress was all too real. A boost of strength would be necessary if I were going to push through this. A song I've only ever heard on Rockband starts playing, "Highway Star" by Deep Purple. With no time to be puzzled by the choice my subconscious made, I drew from the energetic guitar riffs and pushed my way out into the common room. My sheets broke away as I passed through the door. Without hesitation, I dashed toward the blind covered window and burst through it, shattering the glass and tearing through the blinds that bended like elastic around me. I flew off, following the asphalt hill behind my dorm. For some reason, I felt tremendously powerful, and I had the urge to use that power in destructive ways. I picked up a nearby parked car with my bare hands and slammed it into a wooden fence. Not entirely satisfied, I chucked the car across the street, embedding it in an SUV. These acts of violence were only making me more antsy. MORE! I NEED MORE! A frenzied look on my face, I began to dart off, looking for new ways to exert this power. But before I can, rationality shines through and I stop myself and the still playing song. Regaining control of my emotions I play the song "Created" by Portugal. The Man to help center myself. _________________________ 04.05.2010Release (DILD) ★★★☆☆NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID "Bankai!" Energy burst out around me as I shouted the word. It had been awhile, and boy did it feel good. But there was something new I had been meaning to try out. I reach my hand up to my face, fingers bent like a claw, and start to slowly tear away at the air. Sure enough, a Vizard mask begins to form about my face. Finishing the motion, the mask forms itself to my head, obscuring some of my vision. BA-DUMP! My heart throbs once, violently, for a brief moment. I convulse; my back doubles over. The dark powers the mask drew forth were enormous. Looking down, I saw black rings of energy coursing up my leg. It felt fucking awesome. I revelled in the moment as everything began to normalize and I became used to the state. _________________________ 04.05.2010New Tech (DILD) ★★☆☆☆NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Making up my mind, I decide to try my hand out at portal creation. I focus on my fingertips, bringing as much attention to them as I can muster. My digits begin pulsating as if they were storing a large amount of energy. Not surprisingly, the dream destabilizes. By quickly utilizing a combination of my own personal focus technique and the tactile sensation on my fingertips, I'm able to ground myself enough to keep the dream going. Reaching my hands out, I pick the first target to come to mind: Raven Knight. I pull at the air in front me with surprising results. A tall, orange, door sized, holographic interface appears. I touch it, and a 3-Dimensional globe pops up along with some controls on either side. Erm, how do I work this thing? Magically, I'm forced into third person wherein I get to see my body (Vizard mask still on) go through a tutorial on how to work the transporter. Pick a destination. Code it in. Step through the gate. Wait for the destination to load. Engage! The world fluctuates around me before shifting into a new environment. I'm in a tropical, forested, slightly urban area, and everything is on fire. An orange hued glow fills the hot night air while once green trees and brush lie before me, charred and blackened by the flames. I take off to see what was going on, blade at the ready.
From a Nap filled with 3 WILDs: 29.03.2010March Basic ToTM Completion (DEILD) ★★☆☆☆NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Still holding onto my lucidity, I rack my brains trying to decide what to do next. With no goals in mind, I figure I'll just take a shot at one of the Tasks of the Month. What were they again? Oh yeah, "Taste the Rainbow." I look up, and sure enough, a dim rainbow stretched itself along the inside of the concrete archway above me. Flying up to the arch casually, I grab onto the rainbow, tearing a piece away. Surprisingly, it's somewhat elastic, just like a Fruit Roll Up. Not wasting any time, I pop the piece into my mouth. Yuck! Indeed, it does have the texture of a Fruit Roll Up, yet it tastes like stale popcorn. Utterly disgusting. Slightly displeased, I drop back down to the ground. . .
I'm not writing out the whole LD. It was way too long and I'm on vacation. I might write up one of the other ones I had last night, though. Meh, who am I kidding. 14.01.2010January Adv. ToTM Completion (DILD) ★★☆☆☆NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The following is an excerpt from an hour+ long LD. Frustrated by my failure to locate her, I decide to go about the ToTM as scheduled, without her. There are plenty of DCs around. A couple walking up and down the street, a few off to the side of the road, sitting on benches. I start up my plan, queuing up Guns and Dogs by Portugal. The Man. Once the distinctive sounds and lyrics hit my ears I start my transformation. I shrink to a quarter my height, slowly falling down onto all fours, my limbs constricting, my joints changing, and my hands and feet becoming paws. My clothes melt into me, becoming a silky black fur coat. I feel my ears elongate and flop down about face as my nose and mouth stretch forward. All of this is happening at once. I'm surprised it feels so easy and natural. I am now a dog. Not quite sure what breed, but I'm definitely on the smaller side. As soon as the transformation completes, I trot over to an older woman on a nearby bench who is reading a newspaper. I curl up on her feet, brushing my soft fur against her leg. She looks down, smiles, and makes the effort to bend over and pet me. Boy does it feel good. She would make a good owner.
26.12.2009A Typical Night (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The following summary of my night, which is fairly typical, shows you why I don't normally update on non-lucid nights. Dream: Funny Faces ★★★☆☆A friend of mine broke into a construction site, and a cameraman caught it all on camera. It was a rather funny scene actually. The next day they were looking to arrest him, but he had already gotten himself hired as the site manager. Dream: All hail the mighty Eye! ★★★☆☆There was this weird circle with a dot on it in this parking garage. It was posted all over the place with a warning message several yards away: "Warning: Symbol Becomes All Seeing Eye When No One is Paying Attention." Sure enough, it became an eye that followed my movements every time I looked away. What followed this revelation were shenanigans that involved me fusing with the eye and letting it see and interpret information for me. Kinda trippy. Dream: Computers is a Neato Major! ★★☆☆☆A college dream that had me hanging out with a bunch of friends. The normal drama ensued. Also, pretty much everyone I knew was having trouble with two programming projects I hadn't even started yet. One of them was writing a large program entirely in assembly. I reminded them it was much easier to write it all out in C first and then convert it over. Then, when I was working on the assembly one in class. The President of the school comes in with a small girl who is apparently touring various universities. She starts talking about how cool a major in computers would be, but the Pres reminds her there are 3 distinct area of studies to consider, not just one. Dream: I'll teach you life skills. ★★★☆☆I was a substitute teacher for a Kindergarten class. I had to pass back papers, but I didn't know any of the kids names, so I had the assistant do that while I prepared a video. After the movie, I showed them all how to mod nerf guns. Power tools are fun kids! Fragment: Not again. . . ★☆☆☆☆Another fragment about discussing lucidity, but not actually getting lucid off of it. I'm pretty sure I even used powers in this one, too. . . Dreams: Personal dreams are personal. ★★★★☆*insert 2 personal dreams here* Yeah. My recall is ballin'.
4 LDs in an afternoon nap. Good stuff. 10.12.2009Afternoon Nap (WILD) ★★☆☆☆NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I went straight into a WILD where I had a lot of difficulty getting out of bed. I eventually managed to get mostly up, but I kept rubber-banding back to my sleeping position each time I got close. Had a couple FAs here, but it was all the same. Woke up for realsies. DEILD time. This was a weird experience because the music I had playing transitioned over into the dream, but the sound was slightly distorted. It was as if I were listening to it underwater. Regardless, I'm still trapped in my bed, but I try to summon my DG anyways. I manage to create a male DC that looks kinda like her, but at the same time, wasn't even close. The song is distracting me, so I force myself awake. And turn off the music. I lie back down to WILD and the fun begins almost right away. When the vivid hallucinations start, I'm able to throw myself into them for a successful V-WILD. I end up in a snowy academic courtyard during a game of HvZ. I figure I'll go ahead and play along since I need to practice as a zombie. A group of us is after a single human. He throws a sock at me, and I'm only just able to redirect it with TK, my control not up to the standards I want it to be at. Then there's a weird fragment where I toss a guy over my head from a distance with TK. I've lost lucidity by this point. And just go about the dream as per usual. I wish I could recall the plot, but I didn't get a chance to recall it all as I awoke. I do know I regained lucidity sometime down the road, but I couldn't tell you where or what it involved. Edit: I remember how I got lucid! I ended up in a large body of water somehow and realized I was dreaming. My mind turned to sharks attacking me and, sure enough, they did. I became frightened and woke myself up. I then had an FA in which I still knew I was dreaming. There was also a good sized shark biting down on my right forearm. I looked at it calmly as it chomped down on my arm. I remember thinking to myself how odd it was that something that looks and feels so real is all in my head. That's when I really woke up.
