    1. 12th Sep 2013 Random short lucids

      by , 09-12-2013 at 03:27 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Pretty low awareness in this second lucid.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      I am at home in one of rooms and i randomly start flying with my wings which makes me realize that i am dreaming, i notice some family members waiting for something sitting near the table. I recall my goals and about to do them but i wake up.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was in my room there were some mechanisms, then there was some story about some snowy town full of mechanisms. Then all mechanisms explode and i am randomly back at home, i realize that i am dreaming, but still following some kind of dream plot i blame what happened to the town on a sconce in the corner, i jump towards it and start clawing it apart, then i feel my wings and shortly dream fades out and i wake up.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      Was watching some kind of top-down RPG play and there was some quest and item collection.
    2. 9th Sep 2013 Internet search derail, random shmup and short WILD - Day 30

      by , 09-09-2013 at 03:05 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was doing some search on internet and was looking for videos about dragons, then i've found some site with music and was checking it out. There were music tracks with a pic of some rusty metallic places, i was listening to them and there was some weird creaking sound in all of them also, then suddenly i was in that place and then i remembered what that place was: silent hill-like otherworld. Then dream ended.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was doing some coding stuff and was coding some stage, it resulted apparently in a boss fight that looked like made in fraxy, it was spaceship-like boss with two big parts that were detaching to attack and it also had one pattern with firing beam bunch of beams downwards while slowly moving around the top and firing some projectiles around. Then it slightly glitched out and i closed the game, then ended up chatting with someone about various true last bosses in shmups.

      This one is WILD or maybe WILD from FA dream, i am not sure.
      Dream 3:

      I am in my bed with closed eyes and i feel that i am dreaming, suddenly somebody is trying to wake me up, i open eyes and get up and see some DC, we briefly talk about something(i am still not good at recalling talk) and i go to balcony door, as i try to phase through it suddenly curtain gets in the way, not again... as i touch it dream destabilizes entirely and starts fading, i try to will it back.
      I wake up, but the table seems to be in the wrong position i am still dreaming, i go to balcony which is open now and look around. It's sunny day and there appears to be forest to the left, some small buildings, and in the distance, some huge black, leafless, trees. I take off and fly with my wings but dream shortly fades out and i wake up.
    3. This Life or the Next

      by , 09-08-2013 at 06:49 PM
      This is the first of two lucid dreams from the morning of September 6, 2013.

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #143: This Life or the Next

      I'm sitting on a carpeted floor with my oldest son E. There's an IT guy here that I used to work with (who we'll call "Nick Burns"). The interesting thing is that Nick Burns is trying to sleep hanging upside-down from a light fixture like a bat. I believe that he's doing this in order to induce a lucid dream. I tell E that it's not necessary to go to such lengths in order to have a lucid dream.

      Talking about lucid dreaming makes me wonder whether I'm dreaming, so I nose pinch and
      become lucid. I get moving immediately, walking to the adjacent room, which is nearly featureless apart from a deep, square-shaped window. It looks like it's daylight outside, and I'm up a bit off the ground, maybe the 4th or 5th story. I phase out through the glass and the scene changes to nighttime. No, it's daylight, I think and the scene changes to early morning.

      I'm flying over a quiet town where all of the buildings are one or two stories, all shorter than the one that I just emerged from. The oddball in this whole scene is some kind of football stadium. (American football.) I fly toward the field to find a football game going on. I want to change the scene to the Colosseum, and I have this idea that I'll start reciting a line from Gladiator to help the scene form the way that I want. As I'm flying down toward the field, I recite Maximus' badass line to Commodus about how "I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

      By the time I land on the field, I've transformed into a full gladiator outfit and I'm holding a gladius. The football players on the field mill about in confusion. I announce that "this place needs to turn into the Colosseum." I wave the gladius around my head a little bit for emphasis. The football players seem a little put off by this and begin to wander away from the field.

      Nearby there's an old man in thick-framed glasses holding a microphone. Over the microphone, he declares that "there's been a little problem on the field, folks." The scene isn't transforming the way that I want, so I focus on the ground, thinking that I'll turn it to sand and work from there. The floor of the football stadium is made of some kind of bright blue carpet. I rub my hands over it for a while, willing it to become sand, but it stubbornly refuses.

      I stand up, wondering what to do. A young woman, short, Hispanic, mid-20s, walks nearby. I'm trying to formulate some kind of leading question to get her to help me but the fact that I am confused and the fact that she is distractingly good-looking are making it tough for me to know what to say. Plus I'm self-conscious that I'm dressed as a gladiator. I'm too tongue-tied to say anything. As she walks away, I examine my surroundings again and notice that the stadium has transformed into an open-air restaurant, putting me even further away from my goals.

      Okay, new idea. I step outside to a quiet street with a trickle of pedestrian traffic. I imagine that the Colosseum is over the next line of buildings, then I start flying again. As I'm gaining altitude, though,
      the dream ends.

    4. 8th Sep 2013 Flying around and through and through... - Day 29

      by , 09-08-2013 at 02:46 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

      Dream 1:

      I am at home and i am trying to nap, suddenly dad comes into room and decides to fall sleep here, then a blanket randomly gets thrown onto me and it transforms into some other person, so i realize that i am dreaming. I go to balcony door and shift into quadruped stance and then phase through balcony door. I fly and feel wings, streets are snowy and there are some buildings, i fly around and search for that black dragon. Soon i find him, flying in the distance. I fly towards him, avoiding a dragonfly that randomly gets into the way(Icwutudidthar, dream). But as i about to get close i suddenly get teleported somewhere else onto the ground, i start flight again. Now here everything goes weird and i start phasing through stuff, walls, houses and teleported around randomly. Then i am back at home again, i fly through balcony door again and then sky turns into ceiling and i phase through it into different room? Then there's another sky and another ceiling and it turns into mess. Another i phase 'outside' the area like if i was using noclip in video game. Suddenly i fly into a my room again and then into different room? Then again through window and more random phasing, then i wake up.

      Dream 2:

      I try to nap but suddenly somebody starts trying to put plastic bag onto my head, i take it off and i see 'attacker' DC, he disappears and i go to balcony, this time i decide to avoid phasing through and just open door. Once outside i fly and feel wings, my house and balcony disappears and i am in some foresty place now, or rather, above it. I notice stronger feeling of wings and then there's suddenly strong wind all around, which at first gets me almost to the ground but then i manage to use it for gliding/flight for a bit but shortly i wake up.

    5. City on a Hill

      by , 09-08-2013 at 02:27 PM
      This lucid is from the morning of September 3, 2013.

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #141: The City on a Hill

      I'm walking alone through the downtown area of some city when two guys in racing bibs run past me. This strikes me as odd, so I nose pinch reality check to become lucid.

      I'm walking by a construction site with workers milling around in hard hats. I wonder how I might be able to change it into the Colosseum. This feels like a tough thing to try so I give it up and fly into the air.

      The flight works well, although I tend to keep slowly losing altitude, almost like I'm hang-gliding. My feet touch the roof of a building and I leap up again. Now I can see the edge of the city where it meets grassland that slopes smoothly downward. It looks like this city was built on a hilltop.

      I touch down at the edge of the grassland and leap again. It's a beautiful day and I enjoy the tranquility of gliding over the hillside. There are few buildings apart from the occasional fenced area and, interestingly, several humble little churches which dot the grassland. Every time I touch down and then leap again, I see one or two of these tiny stone-built churches with a cross at the top.

      I continue my downward glide and pattern of leaping along. I see a Greek temple off to my right and I think about exploring it. I'm really looking for the Colosseum, though, so I stay focused on that instead. I set my expectation to see sand, thinking that I can use this to transition to a Colosseum scene.

      The next thing that comes into view is a beach with crashing waves. I land at the edge of the cold water. The day is cloudy now. I focus on the sand, wanting to use this sand as my transition into the Colosseum. I reach down into the sand, willing the water to clear away and leave me with a dry patch to use. But after a few seconds, the water keeps rolling back in. I can't figure out how to keep my spot dry.

      I look over my left shoulder and see a towering cliffside. I'm exciting by the idea of climbing it, so I try. The rock feels wet and slick in my hands, but my dream body is so light that it's easy work. The slickness seems to get worse as I climb and now I'm climbing up a huge piece of green plastic. The dream starts to feel wobbly to me, so I focus on how the plastic feels, trying to bring everything back to stability.

      Okay, it feels better now, although still not great. I keep climbing, approaching the top. I hear the cry of seagulls, and soon
      I'm awake.
    6. 2nd Sep 2013 More flying, Dragon

      by , 09-02-2013 at 03:07 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

      Dream 1(fragment):

      I was playing some kind of FPS game.

      Dream 2:

      I am at home in my room, some female DC suddenly wakes up in my bed and complains about lack of lucid dreams, i start thinking that i am DC in somebody's dream... Wait a second, i am one who's dreaming here. I briefly thank DC for this 'sign' and take off right through balcony door. I fly and glide around using my wings and i change slightly, i notice the speed increasing 'effect' from one of previous lucids. This time i manage to control it better though. Everything around is similar to what around my home IWL, except beyond certain point dreamscape becomes more natural with trees and stuff. Then after a while i see black dragon from previous lucids, i fly towards him and try to fly parallel with him, i do it for a couple of seconds then suddenly i am in some other place, at the ground near entrance to some kind of mines and there's DC, i ask him and he says something along the line "It's easy to fool you", and dream fades out.

      Dream 3(fragment):

      Something was going on at home.
    7. 1st Sep 2013 Three lucids, Flying around some doom map - Day 22

      by , 09-01-2013 at 04:04 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was walking on some street and some random dog tried to bite me in the arm, but as it tried it was unable to bite through my skin. I said something along the line "Not you", got the arm out of dog's jaws and continued walking further.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was going through some wooden place and then there was some open area, there was a wall with a barricaded hatch. I tore the barricade apart and opened it. I am looking through and there's a railway with some military people, trees and some tall buildings. More buildings appear as i look around and i realize that i am dreaming.
      Suddenly i am back at home, at the kitchen, i talk to family DCs that are here and ask some dream control stuff, then i go into another room with a window and start shifting into quadruped stance, but dream fades out shortly.


      Dream 3(fragments):

      I am watching some pokemon anime and there was something about turning humans into pokemons and there was some black colored pokemon that was related to that, then i realized that i am watching episode not from the beginning and set it to beginning, but then i also realized that i am dreaming and that i would not be able to finish watching it... Then dream faded out.

      I tried to DEILD but lost awareness.

      Dream 4:

      I am in some game and i am going through level that looks like something from Doom, green walls with pipes. Somebody says something about training course and i enter the passage and get to blow up some barrels using some weapon. Then there's another passage and light turns on as voice explains something about night vision, which i turn on. At this point i realize that it's dream, go out of the area back to the start and turn off night vision. As i return i try to expect that there should be flying course, and i find another passage which leads to the open area. The area is L-shaped and filled with lava at the bottom, walls are green and there are some brown metallic platforms. I take off and fly with my wings, and also feel my body changing shape slowly a bit. I also notice that my wings are black colored. I fly around some more and manage grab into walls to quickly change direction. Shortly i notice that i am slowly becoming slightly bigger as well.
      Then some DC appears and says that "She shouldn't have left the cage open", i ask which cage and he answers "Your cage" and then adds that "It would be better for you to be in it", before i can do anything dream fades.

    8. 30th Aug 2013 Fragments, Garden search

      by , 08-30-2013 at 11:53 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragments):

      I was in some game, in some garden area, it was huge. I was giving commands to some creatures and had wings, we were searching for something. It was confusing since place had alot of small pits and corners to check and there was some area that was like forest of vertical tubes. Also there were some enemies that we had to deal with, including some red energy cloud things.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      There was some event where various celebrities were getting together, but secretly there was a factory hidden that was turning them into something after going through some brutal process.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was going through some set of corridors and rooms and then found some cooking 'side quest' and decided to do it.
    9. Kunoichi

      by , 08-28-2013 at 06:21 PM
      Long dream! I think that in all this dream may have gone for about 30 minutes. It's got me excited about the Great Pyramid Task of the Year again!

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #139: Kunoichi

      I have a false awakening in some kind of luxury hotel suite, feeling frustrated that I failed to have a lucid dream. All of the lights are on, and a digital clock on the kitchen counter tells me that it's 4:45 AM. Okay, I still have a little time left to have a lucid dream.

      Suddenly I realize that Wife isn't here and I panic. I have a false memory that she went out just as I was going to sleep and I start freaking out that something has happened to her. Two men walk into the suite from the adjoining balcony and I run at them, demanding that they tell me where she is. They look bemused by the intensity of my reaction and I wonder whether this could all be a dream. I try the nose pinch reality check and
      become lucid.

      Ignoring these two random guys, I phase through a glass door out to the balcony. Rather than go leaping off, I float up a few feet first (just to be safe) before flying out into the early morning sky. I'm about 80 feet up, and I swoop down toward a park that I see below me, landing near a tree. I notice that the tree looks amusingly pixellated and I remember my goal of trying to maximize dream vividness. I focus on drawing out the detail of the tree, feeling its bark and studying its needles until it becomes extremely vivid.

      I follow a dirt path toward a mall, scooping up a handful of reddish dirt and (for some reason) popping it into my mouth. (It tastes about like you'd expect.) At this point, there's a long segment of the dream where my memory gets a little hazy, but I recall that it was fairly long, involved me travelling through a shopping mall and flying around a bit between levels. I remember flying close by a harried-looking mom struggling to manage a pair of kids and a pair of shopping bags, a bright central area, and at one point a black guy in a purple dress shirt gives me a thumbs up when I fly by.

      Finally I leave the mall through an emergency exit and emerge in an alley. A man slouches lazily against the wall and farther away a dark-haired teenage girl is sitting on a stack of shipping palettes. I look at each of them in turn and they immediately return my gaze. I'm struck by the subtlety in the way their faces move, blink, and shift so realistically.

      As I'm deciding which way to go down this alley, I remember the Africa Task of the year (fix the Great Sphinx then ride her to the top of the Great Pyramid.) I decide that the Great Pyramid is just at the end of the alley, imagine it in detail, then turn around with the image still firmly in my end.

      I'm shocked by how well this works. I walk out of the alley onto a windy landscape of sand dunes. In the distance I see an enormous version of the Great Pyramid dominating the horizon, probably four times larger than the real thing. Dark storm clouds roll violently above the Pyramid. At the top of the Pyramid, the wind is so strong that I see stones rolling off of the top and tumbling down the side.



      I run over the dunes toward the Pyramid and as I get closer I see not just one Great Sphinx but probably a dozen of them scattered near the Pyramid's base. Some of them are in a horrible state of disrepair, but this doesn't worry me. If I can fix her nose, I can fix everything else too.

      As I'm approaching the top of one dune, a pair of female ninja dressed in red appear and come racing toward me, each wielding a pair of sai. The first one leaps at me and I force-push her to the side so that she flies past me. The second I force-push directly forward and she flops onto her back on the dune. I walk past her and I watch over my shoulder as the two of them regroup for another attack. I hold out my hands toward them and jokingly say "Now kiss!" They glare at me like I'm a huge pervert and I feel a little embarrassed. (This is a nerdy reference to this meme.) One ninja gives the other a quick peck on the cheek and then they return to glaring at me.

      I say something about how I was only joking and that I drank a lot of peppermint tea before bed, and as I'm going on and on explaining myself, the two ninja start making out. I realize that all my blah blah blah is only making things worse and I'm feeling sexy and distracted. I turn back toward the Pyramid but the landscape doesn't seem stable anymore. I wind up in the void.

      I rub my hands together to stay locked in and start feeling the floor, trying to turn the ground back into sand so I can return to the Pyramid. I go at this for a good while. After roughly a full minute, the floor starts feeling like carpeting and I emerge in what looks like a dormitory. I walk out into a nearby hall and run into a college friend that I've lost touch with (and is notorious for being hard to reach.) I ask him how he's been and he gives me an email address (!) and promises to respond if I email him at that address. I make him repeat the promise (which amuses him) and bid him goodbye before phasing through a glass door to a second-floor walkway.

      My father-in-law is standing nearby with a few elderly Asian men and women. I jump onto the railing and start pulling myself onto the awning when I feel hands grasping at my legs and shouts of "You'll hurt yourself!" and "Are you crazy?" They pull me back down to the balcony and my father-in-law starts explaining to the other DCs that I'm "special". I fly down the walkway to provide a visual aid and the DCs react by speaking in astonished Mandarin. I think about how amazingly realistic this Mandarin sounds but then think, oh yeah... of course it sounds realistic to me. It's what I think Mandarin sounds like.

      I fly off of the walkway, landing in front of an entrance to the same mall I was at earlier. I decide to retrace my steps through the mall, and I pass through a store that sells little pet sweaters for tiny dogs. Little sweater-clad dogs roam everywhere. I exit the store and it isn't long before
      I have a false awakening back in the same dorm room, no longer lucid.

      I walk outside to find that it's daylight out. NewArtemis and her husband are standing nearby. We say hey, not at all surprised to see one another. Art lays down on the sidewalk, still participating in the conversation but also trying to sleep by curling up with this big canvas bookbag she's holding. I tell Art and her husband about the dream I just had, mentioning that I went through a store "that sells sweaters for those little yappy dogs". Immediately a little white yappy dog comes crawling out of Art's book bag, dressed in a green sweater. "Seriously?" I say, feeling like a jerk. "I'm sorry." She laughs and says it's cool.

      Art seems to kind of fall asleep and I talk with her husband for a while about dogs, telling him they did the right thing by not getting huge, crazy dogs like us. I look down and notice that Art's hair has changed and become really curly and sort of red. It seems weird to me but since her husband doesn't say anything, I figure this is normal. He and I talk about other random stuff for a while until
      the dream ends.

    10. 26th Aug 2013 A couple of lucids - Day 16

      by , 08-26-2013 at 01:50 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      I wake up and it is really really hot, i get up and attempt to find what causing the heat.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      There was something going on at home.

      Dream 3:

      I wake up and someone hands is trying to choke me from behind, i easily get them off and look back while getting up, ofcourse that's 'attacker' DC, i recall that somebody told me on chat one day to try talking to him, so i ask him why he's keeping doing that, he responds but i can only partially hear him, some words get like skipped, but he says something along the line that "You are not lucid" and "This is not dream" or something like that, i respond that he's wrong but he keeps at his. I feel that it's pointless and start looking around, i am in square-ish room with no doors and exits, but two sets of windows. I look outside and it's daytime, i notice black scaled dragon from previous lucid flying in the skies, i try to call him and i get ready to phase through window/wall, but dream shortly fades out.

      Dream 4:

      I wake up and there's apparently 'another me' and we get stuck for a while since he repeats everything i do, soon though we manage to get up and unstuck and i notice that 'another me' is much smaller and at this point he stops repeating actions. I remember my goals and go for balcony door, it's closed, but i phase through it... only to get stuck in curtain behind it, again. And again this causes dream to fade and some random images appear. Not this time, not again. I focus as much as i can and get back into dream with the power of will.
      I wake up again, 'attacker' DC is again here, i knock him out of the way and go for balcony, this time there's no curtain so i phase through door successful. Outside i take off and fly with my wings. I start looking around and soon notice that it's not true outside, but more like huge room with 'background' textures on the walls and ceiling, i almost fly into one of them, but manage to stop and grab into it. I look around some more but dream quickly fades out,
      and this time i wake up.

      Dream 5(fragments):

      I was playing some game and chatting with SilentEternity.
    11. 25th Aug 2013 Random fragments, DEILD, Dragon - Day 15

      by , 08-25-2013 at 03:45 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's naps.

      Dream 1(fragments):

      There was something about girl with psionic powers or something and some people tried to catch her, then there was fight on rooftops.

      Dream 2(fragments):

      I was at home and i had claw-like attachments on the foot that were apparently made from lego( ), and then i was playing a video game with SilentEternity. It was kinda sandbox game and unique thing about it was that it was controlled using... a pencil and a piece of paper, drawing something materialized it in game and removing something with eraser dealt damage to it. We were building some weird forts with weird physics applied to parts and then were fighting using eraser powers.

      Dream 3:

      At this point i wake up briefly and go for DEILD, i don't feel transition so i decide to risk and open my eyes, i immediately notice that placement of everything in room is apparently mirrored along the axis from door to balcony, it's also nighttime, but it's not as dark as for usually and also there are no lights outside.
      I get up and go to balcony, dream destabilizes for a bit and i rub hands to stabilize. On balcony, i notice full moon straight ahead in the distance, pretty big and unusual, no wonder why it's less dark. And in the light, i notice something else in the distance, something flying. As i look more carefully i notice that it's a dragon. I immediately take off and fly, feeling my wings. Roughly halfway during the flight i strangely find myself back in my room, i fly through balcony doorway and in same direction, i see that dragon is still here. I find myself flying unusually quick this time, so i reach him pretty quickly. He appears to be black scaled. As i slow down and try to change trajectory to fly along... suddenly i find myself back in my room again, this time there's some kind of dark energy sphere which shortly transforms into a DC. He says something about time, which i can't hear well so i ask to repeat it but dream shortly fades out.


      Dream 4(fragments):

      I was chatting on skype with somebody(Probably SilentEternity).

      by , 08-19-2013 at 04:21 PM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragments):

      I am doing some stuff at home and then i decide to look at hands they were weird so i am dreaming, i go to balcony, rub hands. Then i take off and feel wings, as i fly i notice that background is like static texture, then dream fades out.

      Dream 2:

      There was story about space station and some spaceship docking there. The crew of the ship were secretly pirates and were trying to capture the station, also they were not humans but rather light-blue muscular humanoids in armor. There was some kid-engineer that was defending the station and he started talk with one of pirates and managed to talk them into going away. Then i was looking at some kind of ship log and there were some of nicknames that i used on internet logged. Then back to story, the ship flied out of hanger and there was some battle going on.
      Then everything everything faded to some other place, in the skies, a dragon was flying away.

    13. Oceanfront Property

      This was the second of two lucid dreams from last night. I'm excited about this new Great Barrier Reef teleport, even if it is very glitch at this point!

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #131: Oceanfront Property

      I'm walking through a university when I encounter the same male twins from my previous dream. They're dressed just as before and again they stare wordlessly at me. I remember this from the previous dream and become lucid.

      "Who are you?" I ask them.

      The twin in glasses only says, "Be careful out there," and together they walk off down the path behind me.

      I immediately remember my intention to explore the Great Barrier Reef and leap up into the air to fly. I soar over a few buildings toward a shipping yard filled with shipping crates and huge cranes. I know that I have to be close to the ocean. Somehow the dream loses cohesiveness for a moment and I'm thrown into the void.

      Rubbing my hands together, I think of what my fastest way to the Great Barrier Reef will be. After giving my dream body a quick probe, I pinch my nose shut and flop backwards like I'm plunging into water. This works incredibly, and almost immediately I'm swimming through clear blue water again, similar to the prior dream. But as I look around, I see that I'm swimming through an underwater version of my bedroom!

      I swim out into the hallway, so surprised to be swimming through my house that I have no idea what to do. I keep colliding with random objects like boxes as I swim and I'm generally nervous about my navigation, so I decide to return to the master bedroom to phase through the window. Hopefully that'll be something like the open sea. I swim back to the window but when I get to the shutters I just bounce off of them. I'm having trouble believing that I can do it or imagining what it will feel like. I make another attempt at it, bounce off again, and worry that I'm going nowhere and that I'll just wake up. Inevitably, this leads me to
      a false awakening in a darkened version of our bedroom.

      Wife has a little "dream checklist" that she's trying to go over with me. "Did you get to the Great Barrier Reef?" she asks, poised to check something off.

      "No," I say, disappointed.

      She frowns. "Did you ask about the meaning of life?" she inquires hopefully. It goes on like this for a while,
      but I don't remember what else happens afterward.

    14. 15th Aug 2013 More flying, City and village, Weird barrel thing - Day 5

      Dream recall from today's nap.

      I am at home and some people are distracting me from my nap, there is some talk, i have to do something with some papers and then they leave. After that i notice some candles on table, and that one of them apparently slightly setting the wall on fire, i started thinking about informing someone and almost exited the room, but then "wait a second", i look at my hands and they are weird, so i am dreaming. I stop and recall some stuff to do then i go to balcony doors while rubbing hands on the way. Dream version of my room appears to be using old layout and there are apparently a couple of steps down on the way to balcony door, and also balcony itself has glass walls, some of them are open though.
      I jump out and feel my wings, starting the flight. I fly around and soon i am above some other city, with high density of rather small buildings and some industrial buildings, all of them are mostly blocky and squarey. I fly above them while looking around, there are some weird reflective surfaces floating in the air. After a few minutes i spot square opening in the roof of one of buildings and fly inside. Place appears to have mostly metallic walls and some machinery, then as i look around it slowly turns into different room from my home part by part, and then dream fades out.

      I wake up and i still feel that i am dreaming, and it's nighttime here this time, i get up and go to balcony, it appears to be same as before false awakening with those two steps and glassed walls, but this time closed, i get to glass, turn around and fall back, phasing through it. I feel wings and start the flight. Looking around, dreamscape appears to be more natural, there are some trees. I fly to the left and then i find some village, there appears to be some wooden water barrel thing, in the middle of it that immediately catches my attention, i have urge to destroy it. So i land and start tearing it apart, it appears to have some mechanisms on top and metallic parts, and it's insides are made of... bread??? As i tear it apart i also notice some DCs walking around. Then satisfied with that being done, i stand up and think about trying some of that bread, but dream shortly fades out shortly.

      [SIZE=3][COLOR=#1E90FF]Some random things happened in a courtroom and everything kept looping, like a tape on repeat. I start to think for a second that [/COLOR][COLOR=#DC143C]I'm dreaming. But do I want to do anything about it...? Err... Um... OH I'm dreaming! I stand up and step forward a few steps towards the judge. I hear murmurs throughout the courtroom. People seem to have a problem with me wanting to leave. I try not to make a big deal out of it for fear that everyone will attack[/COLOR][COLOR=#808080] (like they always do)[/COLOR][COLOR=#DC143C],[/COLOR][COLOR=#DC143C]so I try talking to calm the situation and stall a bit.
      I say, "Alright, just hold on one second okay guys?"
      The tension rises.
      "No no, j- just one sec, alright?"
      I walk over to a dark part of the room with a single door. With the intention set in my mind I turn around and I am now in my house. Wow it worked! I open the shoe closet to put on some shoes [/COLOR][COLOR=#808080](very low lucidity at this point)[/COLOR][COLOR=#DC143C] I find some white shoes and start to put them on. AGH! I fall to the floor and my right eye closes shut. Shit, I'm fading! I have to go, what am I doing putting shoes on!? I struggle to stand up and go towards the door to go outside but I stop. No no maybe I [I]should[/I] put my shoes on. No...
      ...
      Oh fuck it I'll put them on. [/COLOR][COLOR=#808080](As you can tell, I was panicking at this point.) [/COLOR][COLOR=#DC143C]I manage to get the shoes on finally. The fading is getting more intense. No! I open my eyes and struggle to keep the dream open with all my will power. I open the door to the garage. Should I lock it? Fuck I don't know... Ah nevermind that! I close the door behind me. I go outside and run full speed down the driveway. I jump and without even trying, a huge blast of bright orange fire shoots out from my feet and I take off at an incredible speed. Huh, I guess these are rocket shoes. I make it maybe 10 - 20 feet up in about half a second.
