Rock Wall (NLD) 07.17.2023

I am currently between jobs IWL but in the dream I have a job that required a lot of communting. After work me and some friends from the job car pool to a convention in full cosplay. I think we chose a theme of Star Wars and I am Darth Maul. At the convention we get to have some fun mock lightsaber fights. It is time to get in line for some event but to get in line you have to climb a rock climbing wall without a harness. My friends ditch me and one of them even makes fun of me saying I will never make it. I feel like he reminds me of a couple of my ex friends combined into one person I no longer like them very much. When I make it near the top of the rock wall the hand holds become very parilous and I look down wondering how hurt I would be from the fall. It is very far. A few people in cosplay at the top try to help me up and when I am locking hands with them I wake up.


Fight Pits (NLD) 07.17.2023

When I fall back asleep the dream continues but it is changed. Now instead of cosplaying at a convention I am am playing a computer game where I am playing a kobold character. The friends from before are now a clan I was in that betrayed me. There is a big gladiator PVP minigame I am joining. It is a lot like Runescape and I know my chances of winning are really slim. I have a oak long bow with iron arrows and a bronze scimitar. My armor is leather. I tell a much higher level wizard that my friends abandoned me and he says he will look out for me durring the fight.

It is time for the game to start and the coloseum gates open. Everyone runs in and starts fighting eachother. I use my long bow to widdle people down and somehow get the last hit on some people! Finally there is only one other player left and I am out of arrows. It is a woman with mithril armor on. She says she is impressed I made it that far and raises my hand saying "And in second place!" The crowd is very happy. Then she finishes me off. lol

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid FA / AP

At a Matrix event, one of the movies will be playing and the actors are present. I am cosplayed as Trinity and I am determined to meet Keanu. I can't find him but I come across Carrie-Anne, who seems to be very familiar with some of my friends. She commends me for my cosplay. We take pics together, then she hangs out with us. Turns out she is pregnant and Zilla is also pregnants, so they won't stop talking about pregnancy. We head to theathre room to watch the movie and it is quite big and chaotic. People are all talking, lots of kids who only watched the 1st and dont know this one and are already trashing it. Meanwhile, I spot Keanu with some other actress friend at the front rows and I ask Carrie if she can introduce me to him because I must talk to him. She says ok, when the movie ends. But in the middle of the film she gets up to go to do something and doesn't seem to be coming back and then I see Keanu also sneaking out and being engulfed by fans asking for photos. I try to go after them, but then these kids also want to take pics with me, because of my cosplay. And other cosplayers want to act out scenes of the movies with me, for a laugh and I lose Keanu. Outside on the street is a big crossroad with a square in the middle. It's a mess because there is some protest with thousands of people who are on strike for something, plus everiday people going about their lives. I become semi-lucid and consider teleporting out of there and just aim directly to those I wanna meet. Then realize I am dreaming. But I cant focus, it feels too chaotic. So instead I decide to walk go up a street and find some place quieter. I step inside an arcade (tunnel) outside the building to my left and keeo walking forward until I reach a building entrance with a very vintage look and I feel drawn inside. It seems some old abandoned mall and I decide to finally teleport out of here by just walking through a door as a portal. But before I even do anything, I hear Carrie-Anne's voice on the other side of the door so I open it and it is some old school pharmacy and she is buying some medicine from the pharmacist. She is excited to see me. Wonders how the hell I found her and I tell her is was mere coincidence. She tells the pharmacist "She does these things! I wasn't coincidence!" He looks at her like we are crazy, he doesnt believe ít is more than coincidence. Then I tell her I was looking for her because Keanu left and I wanted to see him. She says not to worry, because she can take me to see him.

I was at some kind of anime cosplay/ comic shop. They sold cosplay costumes from different popular anime as well as prop swords and wigs. Even the greeting cards they sold were replaced with anime characters on the cover.

I was browsing around but couldn't find anything worth buying. I was getting ready to head out when Manei walks up to me and does the nose pinch on me.

"Here, pinch your nose, see if you are dreaming."

"Oh, you're a lucid dreamer too? Cool." (I didn't pay attention the first time.)

A tall black guy of about 20 asks me what the heck she just did to me. I start to explain.

"You see, it's a reality test for if you're dreaming or awake. So that you can realize that you are dreaming while you are dreaming and do cool stuff. But the important thing to do during RCs is to actually pay attention."

I did a second nose pinch, being sure to actually pay close attention this time. It of course worked and I was lucid.

Unfortunatley I can't really recall what happened after that. The dream went dark and I knew that it was ending. I tried to explain that fact to a couple of nearby dream characters.

I false awoke on a raft in an ocean. I RCd but somehow turned up nonlucid. There was a massive floating fortress on the horizon. It began launching large white airplanes that shot tons of tiny green laser beams at me. I got the inkling that this was some kind of computer simulation.

Spoiler for Interpretations:

So from top to bottom: I can't offer an explanation for the anime/cosplay shop other than the fact that I like anime.

As for Manei just telling me that I am dreaming... er I don't know. I wish she would do that more often.

So, I signed up for the DVA Dreaming Competition and as soon as I did, I hit a strange dry spell, lol. I just broke out of it in a huge way though.

Non-lucid Dream #1
First up, a quick summary of a normal dream I had. I was playing in the alumni football game and for some reason, I wasn't starting (this would never happen . We were back on defense and I told coach, "I'm going in now whether you like it or not." He said, "That is all we ever wanted to hear." I went in and nobody as wearing pads. The other team was composed of elderly, nursing home patients. It was flag football and the most boring game ever. I remember being mad that I had paid 100 dollars to play in this game. I woke up at some point and realized how ridiculous this dream was, lol. I attempted a WBTB WILD, but ended up losing consciousness real fast and failed the WILD. I was just too damn sleepy. Anyway, now is when it gets interesting...

Non-Lucid Dream #2
Nothing interesting here. I was talking to one of my buddies about the upcoming alumni football game (yeah, A TON of my dreams have had this theme lately).

Lucid Dream 502: Master of the Environment
Series: DVA Dreaming Competition, Episode 1
DILD
Technique: ADA



I can't remember hardly any of the first part of this dream. I was on the porch of an old farmhouse. I had just walked out onto the porch and there was a guy with a huge cartoon-like hammer. As he was swinging at me, I instantly became lucid for no apparent reason. He struck me several times with this ridiculously proportioned hammer. I did the slow motion, evil eye, turn toward him and said, "That won't work on me!" I thought about beating the guy up, but I immediately remember my tasks for DVA Dreaming Competition.

There were several wide, solid pillars connecting the porch base to the overhang above. I pushed my face up to the nearest one and slowly walked forward. I phased into the pillar. As I entered the pillar, the insides resembled a mesh net. The mesh slowly snapped apart, string by string, as I passed through it and then reconnected behind me. I had never paid much attention while phasing before and I thought this was pretty bad ass. After passing through the pillar, I proceeded to the next step of my task. I looked around me for some familiar faces and found that Mike and Diddy were with me, as they usually are. They had been in the early non lucid parts of this dream as well as the my non-lucid from earlier. I was expecting to seem them and there they were.

I spoke, "You guys ready for some chaos? Come watch!" I looked into the sky which was bright and sunny with only a few clouds in the sky. I raised my hands and began swirling the clouds and moving them across the sky telepathically, using my hands to guide them. As they swirled the wind began to pick up. I started saying, "Faster....faster...faster" in a real dramatic manner . The wind picked up to hurricane-like levels and the sky had grown stormy looking. There were mass amounts of orange and red leaves swirling around me at ground level. The collection of leaves looked much like a crackling fire as they spun around me with great speed. I then grabbed the darkest cloud with my mind/hands and did a splitting/breast stroke motion. The cloud cracked open and many jetstreams of dark black smoke erupted from the cloud's crack. They shot all around the sky, level trails of the dark smoke across the sky. I used my fingers, naturally assigning each finger one black smoke jetstream, and began shooting them all around the sky. It was quite the spectacle.

I decided that maybe the intense wind wouldn't count as element manipulation, so I did the same motion to another dark cloud as before (breast stroke motion). This cloud burst into thousands of small black sections and rain began to fall. I thought the small black sections of cloud kind of resembled bats. Suddenly, I noticed that they WERE bats. There must have been thousands of them. I began bursting every cloud I saw like this and they all turned into swarms upon swarms of bats. The rain became heavier and heavier wioth each burst though I wasn't getting wet at all. Soon the entire sky was black because there were so many bats and I had run out of clouds to burst-transform. Mike and Diddy had been making comments here and there the whole time, but they weren't important enough to remember. I used my mind/hands to send all the bats over the horizon. It was like a huge shadow moving across my environment as they passed over our heads. I now had an overcast sky to work with.

I stuck out my finger between my vision and the clouds high above and began a swirling motion. The clouds began swirling in a tight circle. I then slammed my hands down to the ground and a tornado formed and quickly touched down. I noticed that I was now on some kind of college campus and all the students screamed, "Tornado!" and took off running. I decided to not cause any destruction, because of the storms in OKC I suppose. I just split the tornado into two, creating two tornados. I then swirled up a few more in the sky and kept splitting them. Much like the black smoke jetstreams, I used each of my fingers to help guide my telekinesis. I was moving these massive twisters all around the campus all at once. They moved perfectly with how I wanted them to move. I shouted to eveyone, "Its ok, they are harmless." The college students slowly calmed down and began to enjoy the twisters. They were jumping in them and I was speeding up the twister in bursts. This caused the students to be sent flying across the sky. After a few moments, people were flying around and swooping into my tornadoes and getting launched into flight. There were probably 100 people flying around and doing dream related activities. I acted like they were all lucid dreamers as well. This reminded me of finding Ctharlie in my dream. I turned and told Diddy and Mike that we needed to find Ctharlie.

I looked around my environment and there was a mountain in the background. Half covered by the trees of the mountain, I could see the palace from Aladdin (Taj Mahal ?) sticking up above the trees. I told Diddy and Mike, Ctharlie is up there in Aladdin's Palace. Before I could take action I felt myself starting to wake up. I didn't bother trying to stay in this dream, I just prepared to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 503: Ctharlhie and the Palace
Series: DVA Dreaming Competition, Episode 2
DEILD



I felt myself wake up during the transition and I was very aware that I was in my bed at home. It took an unusually long time to transition. I thought I had failed at one point, but decided to just wait it out. I still felt I was laying on my couch, but something feltt different. I decided to open my eyes and take a look (my dream eyes, that is). I was in the exact same spot from the previous dream that I prepared to DEILD. I couldn't see the palace anymore, but I knew it was there. I shouted to Mike and Diddy, without looking behind me to see if they were actually there. I shouted, "Follow me!" I took flight toward the mountain, but as I did, I noticed a powerline off in the distance. Suddenly, I was close-lined by a powerline that came out of nowhere. I grabbed it and began swinging. I told Diddy, "You gotta play around on them for a bit or you won't be able to get passed them. I swung for a few moments before landing on the roof of a nearby building. I could see the mountain/my destination off in the distance, but there was now and intricate web of powerlines in our way. I strategically looked around the powerlines for an opening and I found a gap large enough to pass through. I leapt off the building, focused on the gap and made it through. As I got closer to the mountain, I could see the palace sticking up over the horizon. To my surprise, it got bigger and bigger the closer I got to it. I landed on a flat area of the palace walls. Diddy landed there shortly after me. I ran to the closest door and entered the palace. It was laid out like a fun house more than an actual palace. There were tons of obstacles, like balance bridges, monkey bars, mirrors, and other crazy things. I began calling out, "Ctharlhie?" As I traversed through the many obstacles and expecting to see someone around each turn. Finally, after climbing a short wall, I noticed a person standing with their back to me. They were wearing blue jeans and a green tee-shirt. It was definitely Ctharlhie, but there was no human head there, but the green head of Cthulhu, very similar to your avatar .

I began talking to Ctharlie like we had met many times before. We talked briefly, but can't remember exactly what it was about. I then said, "Show me what ya got!" Me, Diddy, and Ctharlhie began showing each other different parkour-like tricks using the many obstacles in the palace. I was doing the "ninja warrior cliffhanger" on as many ledges as I could find. At one point I tumbled over a small nearby wall. I then phased back through it to get back to where Diddy and Ctharlhie were. Ctharlhie said, "You gotta show me how to go through walls like that!" Diddy chimed in with a, "You are in luck. Yosh can do all kinds of crazy shit like that." I then showed Ctharlhie that you just press your body up against the wall and slowly push through. I stated that it will feel like you are passing through a real thick liquid. We did that for a short time and then began exploring again. We came upon a large bar and I got an idea. I took off running and slid down the full length of the bar. As I slid, the bar became longer and longer and filled with more and more glasses, bottles, mugs. Instead of realistically breaking/knocking over the mugs, they exploded cartoonishly as I collided with them. I could feel the beer splash against my face, but I never got wet. This sliding reminded me of the "Slide on Saturn's" rings task, so I decided to go outside.

At that time, I heard a car door shut and I looked out the window. I saw people in the palace driveway. I asked Ctharlhie if they were friends/family. Ctharlhie replied, "Huh? I don't live here. I was just exploring." Diddy said, "Shit! We gotta get out of here." I played along and said, "Ok, follow me!" I dove head first out the window and entered flight, but someone grabbed my shirt tail and cartoonishly pulled me back to the ground like a rubber band. It was the chick who own the palace, which was now just a normal house. I don't remember what she was saying as I wasn't paying attention. I felt myself starting to wake up. Again, I didn't bother trying to stay in this one, I just got ready to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 504: Skiing Amongst the Stars
Series: DVA Dreaming Competition, Episode 3
DEILD



This DEILD transition was great. I was excited to go to space and try to slide on Saturn's rings and during the transition, I found myself flying through space as the song "Faded: played in the background. Its the song that says, "I'm faded...faded...faded...my (brotha) I'm faded...faded...faded..." stars were flying by me as I approached random planets here and there. I wasn't in the dream fully yet, I was still transitioning and my HI was this space experience. I flew by several planets and wasn't really able to control my path. One planet had a huge craters and mountain ranges on it that formed a weird looking clown face. It was incredible because it didn't look cartoonish at all. the mountain ranges, craters, and dips in elevation on the surface of the planet created an uncanny clown face. I admired it for a while and noticed I had completely transitioned into the dream state.

I was floating around with the stars. I saw several planets in the background, so I flew toward them. As I got closer, they remained the same size. By the time I reached them, they were the size of tennis balls. I grabbed the planets and began juggling them. After a short bit of this, I continued searching for Saturn. I saw cluster of planets that seemed to be just floating randomly and not in any sort of orbit. As I got closer, I noticed one of them was Saturn. I got excited, but immediately caught myself before getting too excited. I performed a nose pinch RC, took a deep breath and calmed myself. I then casually floated toward the planet cluster. These were much larger than tennis balls. They were about the size of those really big medicine balls. I stepped on Saturn's rings and I could tell it was slick. It felt like I was standing on a solid sheet of ice. I got my footing and stood still for a moment. I crouched down in a skii position and slowly began to slide on my feet. It got faster and faster until I was orbiting around the planet by skiing on the rings. By this point, the planet was about as big as a small garage. I leaned left and right as I circled the planet and it felt like, what I'd imagine skiing is like (i've never been before). After a bit of this, I realized I couldn't stop because of the momentum and slick surface, so I just flung myself off and tumbled into space. I began free falling, faster and faster into an abyss of darkness. I then suddenly woke up in my bed.

This dream wasn't fooling me though, I was far too lucid for that. I knew it was a false awakening. I dove headfirst out of my window and took flight. I landed in my yard after flying for a short time. I decided to try and go back into space. I jumped up and grabbed the gutter of my house and pulled myself up on the roof. As I did this, another level of roof appeared on my house. I jumped up and grabbed that edge and pulled myself up. I did this about four times before my roof stopped growing along with my climb . I looked up at a crystal clear sky that was full of stars. I threw my hands out, super man style, jumped, and began to ascend. I could feel the cool air rushing passed my face as I ascended. I made it back up into space and was floating around again. I couldn't see any planets or anything. There were nothing but distant stars around me. I felt 100% cut off from everything, like I was in an endless abyss. I started to feel fear and freaked out a bit. I felt myself waking up, so I quickly shook off the fear and prepared to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 505: Cosplay Festival
Series: Meiseki na Yume, Episode 3
DEILD



This transition happened very quickly. I transition back into the dream state and noticed that everything looked like it had high quality video game graphics. I stood up and saw that I was in an unfamiliar building. There was a stack of blocks in front of me that said, "POW" on them. I punched the blocks in a very mechanical manner and they exploded. My movements felt very robotic, much like a really crappy video game would feel. I opened a nearby door and exited the building. I was now in a normal realistic setting. I was at the top of the hill on a neighborhood street. Diddy was with me as we began walking down the street. I told him I wanted to have some sort of anime dream. He told me he was down, so I explained to him how to have one. I told him to just walk down the street and pretend like we are anime characters in an anime world. Soon we came upon a restaurant and there were completely animated 2D characters eating in the outdoor area of the restaurant. It was pretty cool as they were in a Cowboy Bebop style animation. They were the only animated DCs though. There were tons of other people walking around on the streets, but they weren't animated. It seemed to be some sort of festival. The DCs slowly began to change into cosplayers. I noticed brightly colored hair first. Soon everyone had colorful hair and some were wearing costumes. The costumes become more and more elaborate until everyone walking around was in full blown cosplay.

Most were just random concoctions of anime features, but some I could recognize. We passed a chick who was cosplaying Misa Misa (from Death Note), another was Yoko (from Gurren Lagann), and a group of guys who were cosplaying the entire cast of Kuroko no Basket. I started searching for a mirror to see what I was dressed as. I couldn't find a mirror, but I started looking at myself in the reflection of store windows as we waked down the street. With each window we passed I added something to my costume and slowly transformed myself into. A lot of it was added by the dream itself. I made a few minor tweaks by imagining something I wanted to add to my get-up. I was dressed as a Shinigami from Bleach. I had a long black robe that also had an equally long black cape attached. Where the robe opened up in the front, I had a white vest on. The solid part of the vest only covered my chest, but it had tons of long/thin strips that reached to my waist. The robe sleeves were tucked into long white Michael Jackson-like gloves. My hair was solid white and my skin was extra pale. It sounds a little odd, but it looked badass! I was very happy with how the transformation turned out. Brandon came out from a nearby building and was dressed as Wolfwood (from Trigun)

We ended up in a huge shopping mall area. I first found a sword holder laying on the ground, so I picked it up and decided to look for a sword. I couldn't find one, so I held the leather holder out in front of me. I then looked away from it and looked back again. Nothing happened. I decided to concentrate on the holder. I squeezed the leather over and over until I felt something solid within. I reached into the holder and pulled out a long, solid black blade. I started slicing up some clothes that were hanging from racks beside me. I put the sword in the holder and told Diddy to tie it to my back so it looked cool. He started tying, but was having trouble. It was too tight around my body. I noticed that my robe now felt tight as well. I tried to adjust the clothes, but they kept getting tighter and tighter. I now could feel that I had something tucked up under my shirt/robe in the front. I pulled my shirt up and 6 or 7 rectangular, cardboard, christmas boxes fell out. I chuckled at this absurdity as Diddy said, "Why were those under your shirt?" I replied, "Dreams, man. Who knows?" My clothes now fit properly once again, but the sword holder was still a fail. I decided just to hold the sword as I walked around. This dream was actually pretty long, but most of the time was spent walking around and looking at all the cool ass cosplay costumes. I felt myself waking up, but decided not to DEILD again in fear of forgetting my earlier dreams. I just let myself wake up and immediately hopped on here to type them up.

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

I was out on some road that appeared to be on a building top. I may have been standing outside at first. But, at least eventually, I was inside a vehicle, possibly a van. I was with some man and someone like my mom. The day was really sunny, maybe hot.

I saw an airplane flying up through the air, just after it had lifted off. But the back end of the airplane was shaped just like the back end of a space shuttle. The whole airplane may have been white and red, with a shiny, plasticky look.

I got kind of freaked out because the airplane had had the back end of a space shuttle. I thought the craft should be lifting up into the air much faster if it were a shuttle. I got the eerie feeling that it would start lifting quickly up into the air very soon. But something about the fact that it kept not lifting up into the air had me really panicked.

One of the people with me, probably the man, may have tried to convince me that the craft weren't actually a shuttle, and that its back end didn't actually look like that of a shuttle.

I looked over the building we were on. There was a space shuttle posed in front of the building, on some kind of metal-frame, like a statue. I tried to compare the craft in the air and the shuttle on the ground.

I must have been satisfied. We started driving away from the scene. I felt afraid to look back at the craft in the air. We passed some large passenger plane that looked normal. It gave me a huge sense of the relief, as if the craft in the air were normal.

We were now driving around on some tarmac, possibly at the foot of the building we had been on. We drove past one experimental plane. I knew about this whole place, and I knew about these experimental planes. I told the man about this plane. The man may now have been someone like my mom's old boyfriend.

We drove past another experimental plane. This one was all clear, like it was just a thin, metal skeleton covered over with the clear material that makes the walls of a greenhouse.

The plane was kind of needle-shaped, with something about it reminiscent of the Blackbird. It also had something to its design very much like the grid pattern underlying some computer animations. The plane also had a logo on its side saying "Scoop Technologies."

I told the man something about this plane as well, like I was a little kid showing off how smart I was to an adult man. We then passed another plane which may have been much, much larger than the clear craft. We then passed another experimental craft, which I may also have explained to the man.

Dream #2

I was in some building, on the second floor, laying on my stomach on the floor, staring out a window-wall. Below was some kind of small courtyard, floored with stone tiles, edged around with little gardens and trees, with some leafs blowing across the tiles.

Two girls were down in the courtyard area. They may have been in their early teens. They were both dressed in costumes. The costumes were like older European dresses, like from the Elizabethan era or a bit later than that. But the colors of the costumes were very bright, like Sailor Moon uniforms.

One of the girls saw me looking down at them. She ran up to the building, jumped all the way up to the window, and tapped her hand against the glass. The girl apparently liked me, and she was trying to let me know.

The girl was now back on the ground with her friend. The two girls spoke with each other for a moment. I couldn't believe the girl had managed to jump high enough to tap the window. I wanted her to do it again. But I also wanted her to do it again so I could make sure she liked me.

I tapped on the glass and waved the girl back to me. The girl came wandering back up to the building. The other girl warned the girl not to jump up to the window, since she'd get hurt really bad if she slipped and fell.

This time she didn't jump up to the window. She climbed up something like a thin, metal drain-pipe that had little pieces of metal like ladder-rungs running up it. The wall was red stone (so red it almost looked painted), and the drain-pipe and "ladder-rungs" were the same color.

The girl got up to the window and touched my hand.

Now the girl was down on the ground with her friend, a ways away from the building. The girl stood near a waist-high, silvery metal column. The girl lifted up her skirt and draped it over this column. She then kind of leaned over the column, so her torso was parallel with the ground.

I was now sitting somewhere, possibly on the roof of a building, with two women. We had a bunch of stuff with us like we were taking a trip to the beach. I sat on the floor, on a towel. There were a few other big beach towels all around me. On either side of me there were long beach chairs and tall parasols.

One of the women was my friend H's friend Y. Y sat on the edge of one of the beach chairs. Y was telling the other woman, in a different language, how she liked me, but how it seemed like all I ever did was study and think about intellectual things. Y wondered if I could possibly like her at all.

I spoke to Y in English, not letting on that I'd understood everything she'd just said in the foreign language, but letting her know that I was interested in her. But I then got worried about showing her any more of my feelings. H was coming back soon. And H liked me. She couldn't think I liked Y.

Scalpel's Sword

My friend and I were climbing a mountain. It was supposed to be like Mt LeConte, but it was a lot steeper and treacherous. There were more places to lose footing and fall off the side of the mountain and more things to have to navigate.

We made it to a section of the mountain designated as the top for those who could not continue. It was the true top of the mountain, but it wasn't the highest point. To get to the highest point, one would have to climb on man made structures, like an obstacle course.

Having reached the true top, we looked up and saw what looked to be a net above us. A little bit passed us were rocks that were attached to the net. It looked dangerous to walk under.

My friend was really paranoid about the rocks falling, so I went first to show her that it would be OK.

Once we made it pass that, there was a wooden staircase that went both up and down. I remembered from another dream, maybe a year ago, that if you went down then you would come into a room with a screaming lady who was trapped and clawed things into the wall.

I'm trying to search for this dream in my DJ...but my DJ is becoming too big to easily search for things anymore. That is really annoying. >.> Anyways, I wish I could prove it, but I find it really cool now how some dreams are just coming together like a puzzle.

I continued to climb up the stairs. I came into a room I had to climb up awkwardly placed stairs, three feet apart, to press a button and open a box that had a hint for me.

Once I had done so, I read the hint. It read: Go into the bar. Tell the woman that you would like a Scalpel's Sword. Be ready to fight.

I found the bar. I looked at the woman, and whispered Scalpel's Sword. She knew exactly what I meant, and leaped up from the counter and we began fighting, I woke up though.

SHAPESHIFTING!!!

I WISH I remembered ALL of this dream.

I had VERY high lucidity in this dream, and VERY high clarity.

I was thinking about what I should do with this lucid dream, when I realized that I didn't have any lucid goals!

I didn't know what the Nightstalker Task was, I didn't know what the Task of the Month was, I didn't feel like going to the MDRC , so I had to decide something.

I decided on practicing shapeshifting.

I was standing in the grass, looking at my shadow.

I watched as my shadow became the shape of a lion or a tiger, and felt the transformation. It was wicked.

There was someone else there with me, but I forget who.

I remember running around as a lion/tiger, feeling how strange this felt.

Parasitic Invasion

I was in the store with my mother. I kept finding interesting pins on the ground, one said "It's all about the PLUR!" I liked the pin, and stuck it to my shirt.

I was heading back...When everything went silent. Background noise - GONE. Everyone around me - FROZEN.

It was like something out of The Happening.

I stood there for a moment, completely confused. I did a reality check but everything came back normal.

The lights flickered.

I slowly continued to walk until I found mom. She was not frozen like the other people.

I tried talking to her, and then the power went out. Everything was black.

When the lights came back on she was gone, and standing in front of me was a woman with worms coming out of her. She looked like Medusa, but all over.

I decided to GTFO at that point.

The dream skips, and now I am living in a hotel with a friend of mine. The parasitic worm invasion has spread and we are trying to keep it out. It's dark outside, and dark inside. The power has gone out, making visibility dim.

We hear creaking, warping noises coming from outside the room. We know that they are near us.

In the darkness I barely see the worm infested humans creeping towards us.

We decide it is time to go and set this HOTEL ON FIRE.

We quickly grab our things in the darkness and try to run past the masses of worms. We almost make it out, when I realize that I have to go back in to get my car keys.

I'm having trouble running quick enough. We put a bomb in the hotel so that it would explode at any minute. I'm worrying about my friend outside the hotel, hoping she is safe.

I grab my keys and dart out the door. I look back at the hotel...and instantly wish I hadn't.

The hotel...the entire freaking thing...was covered in GIANT worms. Worms that were boring through the walls and coming back out to get us.

I unlock my car door...But my friend has been seized by one of the worms!

I grab a (convenient) blowtorch and blast the worms away. We pile in the car, and the hotel EXPLODES and leaves behind a giant mushroom cloud.

We drive into the city, where nearly half of the population is infested. We decide to gather some healthy individuals so we can band together and fight them off.

We kill masses of parasitic worm people, until I lock eyes with a girl sitting on a small set of stairs with a few other people. She has curly red hair, and looks to be in her 20s.

She instantly gets up and rushes over to us. She attacks skillfully and we realize that she is the creator of the parasitic worm invasion. If we can kill her, this madness can end.

Once we finish her off, her skill shrivels and we find a key in her heart. It looks as if someone stabbed it into her. We wonder what the key unlocks.

Zukin or Zukin?

I'm at Joann Fabrics. I'm deciding whether I should cosplay Queen Zukin or Evil Zukin. Evil Zukin is cuter by miles, but I really like the story behind Queen Zukin. I have trouble deciding.

The only thing I can really remember about this dream is trying to do the stage makeup for my cosplay of Sander Cohen from BioShock, except for some reason I keep putting green, black, and gray base on (from my Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name Zombie cosplay, I presume) instead.

This dream fragment involves messing up a cosplay. I normally have dreams about forgetting the costume entirely halfway to the convention, but sometimes they involve putting on the wrong parts. They usually serve to remind me to finish up my costume for an upcoming convention, but Zombie's already finished, and Sander was for last year's cons. I do need to get to work on GraveRobber from Repo! The Genetic Opera, though.
