Plans: No specific plans, try to contact MoSh's guides again, do some items from my list of goals... I won't be able to post for a few days, though, since I'll be camping.

Sky Beam
I am in a mountainous area, I am climbing on some rocks. I am surprising myself with how easily I am able to climb the rocks without once feeling afraid that I might fall. I get to the top of a rock and I look off into the distance, where I see a strange beam coming from the sky. It seems a lot like the light beam I am used to seeing in Stormreach in DDO, so I do a RC and I find out I'm dreaming. I look around for a bit more, this clearly isn't Stormreach, so there must be some other explanation for the beam. I then remember the latest primary task for the LPTC, which is to stop a laser drill coming from a space ship in orbit. The beam isn't too far off, so I fly towards it and I get there quickly.

I look at the energy beam from the sky, it has a sizable tunnel drilled into the ground already, but I don't know how far down they've gotten. The beam is just energy in the form of a laser... so I fly out over the hole they are drilling, which is about 20 yards across, I fly directly into the path of the beam while activating a spell. I use the song spell Whiplash by Metallica to reflect the laser beam back into space. The reflected beam follows it's own path back into space, and shortly later I see an explosion in the sky as the orbiting space ship is destroyed by it's own laser drill. That seemed pretty simple, too bad I'll have to wait until after the camping trip to post this dream!

Obstacle Course
I am somewhere I don't recognize, I am there with MoSh and a couple of other men, who don't seem too pleased with my being there. I wonder if they don't like me or if I did something to annoy them or if they are just always like that. MoSh is talking to them about finding a girlfriend... maybe one with a few less obstacles to them being together. One of them says obstacles are merely tests to be overcome. I ask what exactly they expect MoSh to do when the person in question has such a serious case of depression that she won't help herself, I add that I can relate to the depression and I know it is hard enough to be helped by someone there in person let alone by someone on the other side of the planet. Which brings me to the geographical issue, which they have done twice now, because helping her or getting her help might be possible if she was closer... and I mean a lot closer... Then there's the issue of being engaged to be married, which they have done twice now. And now a possibly insurmountable religious issue? So how about a nice local single woman... where if she does get depressed, MoSh can directly help with a hug and an attentive ear. The way they've been going, I wonder if they are looking for as many obstacles as possible to be between MoSh and the woman. I am getting glared at again, one of them says if I know so much, why don't I find someone? I say if my powers worked on this plane I would help MoSh find someone... Damn these powers that only work in dreams...

Assassin's Creed: Slave Trader
I am at home, doing nothing particularly exciting, and I decide it would be awesome if I was dreaming... Maybe I should do some journaling. I am thinking of dreaming, so I do a RC and I discover I'm dreaming right now! So I say goodbye to my DC mom and I go outside to fly. I fly into the air and open a portal in front of me with no particular destination. I let Avalon guide the portal. I fly through it and find that instead of flying over a desert I am now flying over a lush tropical forest. So many colorful birds are flying around, I also find images in my mind of what I need to do there. It looks like I've been playing too much DDO, because the information comes to me as a list of DDO quest objectives. 1. Locate the slave trading hideout. 2. Stay hidden until the leader arrives. 3. Kill the leader first. 3. Kill the rest of them. 4. Free the slaves. Ok, well since I don't want to be spotted too soon... they will certainly kill the slaves and the leader won't come... I transform into one of the colorful birds.

I fly over the forest, surveying the are until I finally find the camp. A lot of people are locked in cages on wagons, packed in like sardines. The slave traders are talking to each other mostly, a couple of them are tormenting the prisoners, poking at them with spears. One of the others says if the ones tormenting the prisoners kill a slave it's coming out of their cut of the money. After a couple more pokes they stop. I perch in a tree among other birds of my kind, waiting for the leader. The birds around me leave to the other side of the clearing. I follow, but they avoid me. They can tell I'm not one of them. The leader soon arrives on a horse, leading other horses. He is exchanging money for the slaves. I turn back to myself, with a crossbow, I shoot the leader through the neck. He falls over and chokes to death on his own blood. The others are surprised at the attack. They see me as I jump down from the tree and use my Witchblade sword to kill them all. The prisoners don't seem to know what to think of me, so I cut through the locks on the cages and tell them they are free to go, but make sure the horses are looked after... they're not wild horses, so they need shelter, food, any other care. One of the prisoners says the horses will be cared for, those slave traders had been working them too hard and not feeding them enough. The prisoners lead the horses down a trail into the trees, thanking me as they go, only a couple of injured people are riding horses. Someone is bitching about walking, others tell him to shut up, the horses are overworked, too. Everyone who is able will walk. One of the prisoners is saying she would like to give me a reward... but I wake up before she can offer me anything.

False Awakening
I wake up in my own bed and I realize I have to use the bathroom quite badly, so I carefully get out of bed so I don't disturb the cat I'm sleeping with and leave the room into the main part of the house. I notice it is very quiet in the house, so after I do my business, I go to see if my mom isn't there for some reason. I find she is, indeed, not there. Her car isn't in the carport. I wonder where she has gone, she hadn't said anything about going out. I still have to use the facilities even though I just did. So I use the bathroom again and then go back to bed with my kitty, never once do I suspect I was dreaming. The dream seemed so real that when I wake up I think my mom must have really gone out during the morning, though she says she has not and she isn't dressed to go out... she is in her "hanging around the house" clothes. Damn... if only I could remember to RC every time I wake up!

This isn't a dream post in the regular sense, this is more of food for thought. Different (not new) ideas about dreaming. I mention God, and soul, but there isn't a specific religion, and this isn't me preaching. I don't mean to offend anyone, or take anyone's enjoyment out of Lucid dreaming, if you don't agree, that is perfectly fine, but this post is more for the thinkers on the sight. Also I don't take on sides of Astral Projecting/OBEing/Lucid dreaming. Instead I think of them more of experiences than any kind of category. I will post a link to a new thread, so please do not comment here. Comment on the actual post. Thanks, and enjoy!

What if lucid dreaming was more than dreaming while being conscious What if it was a gateway to another world? Think about it, all of the dream characters some of them you have never seen before, what if they were actual beings? Sure some of them are just DCs representing you, but what if there were others that weren't? Today I took an hour long nap, a successful wild! After several failed attempts at realizing FAs, I finally started to think, I ended getting out of my bed at my place of work. From there the rest were LDs. This isn't going to be a post about my specific LDs (coming shortly), they are about my ideas that I ended up with during the dream.

I want to make a few notes about what I have discovered in the dream world today. First DCs are representations of yourself. What ever your thinking, that DC will be saying. I noticed several times when I was thinking or talking to myself, a nearby DC was repeating it, at first I didn't think anything of it, since it always happened, but now I paid attention to what I was thinking, and who was talking. The exact same thing. Now this idea goes further with, whatever your doing (just not controlling the dream world, instead just letting it happen) will be done to you. I noticed a DC eating something, but for some odd reason my mouth felt like it was full of food and I couldn't do anything. I didn't put two and two together until today as I have had that happen several times. Other properties about yourself can be manipulated by a DC along with the DC can manipulate yourself. You almost trick yourself out when in a dreamworld. Once I understood this, then I could control anything I wanted. I could fly at will (no arm flailing), summon tornadoes, breathe underwater, run super fast, read minds (my own haha), shoot energy blasts, and tons of others when the other night all I could do was explore. Flying was the best one I got the hang of it, no more butterflies, just the excitement to be able to fly! I used to walk my dog at night, and looked up into the sky and said I wish cool nights like this were in my dreams, and that I could fly! Today it happened! More to what I accomplished in the actual dream journal entry!

Have you ever heard a radio in your dreams? For me I never noticed until now, but there were always some kind of background noise somewhere. Once I started listening to it I found the source. It sounded like rapid clips of commercials, shows, and songs put together, and having it play super fast. Kind of sounds like channel surfing. You have the white noise, and occasionally you'll come across a channel that works and hear it for a second until you switch it. Now imagine there are hidden messages within it. It seems like your being is being contacted (no pun intended) by another being through this. I listened closely at it. First I thought it was just everything I heard today being played at a super fast rate, that my subconscious was playing it out. Then I thought it was all of my thoughts playing at a super alarming rate, since my dream is within my head, people can speak as fast as they think! there are no physical limits.

Then I heard the word God a couple of times and sat down next to it and listened. It brought up all of my concerns about dieing. It even said I had till Halloween night, or right around it until I was going to die. Then an announcer came on the speaker phone of were I was at and asked if there was some body named something was there, I couldn't remember the name. And the radio laughed and said never mind. They said that i was afraid of being just short of making it into purgatory and that I was afraid I would end up in hell. That was correct, that is what I am afraid of, not death itself. They said something about cleaning up my act, and that I would make it to heaven eventually, I just have to make peace with God. Then I tried asking a question but the radio shut off. It turned back on after a couple of minutes and said that what I was experiencing was part of the afterlife, since we have a soul we are able to just barely connect with other souls. But there are still DCs that were just DCs made up by my mind.

Then I met two people who escorted me around my dream, I asked questions about this afterlife thought, and said it was true. I just thought back to when somebody on here said DCs tend to try and trick you into believing your not dreaming. So I denied it for a couple of seconds until I thought of something. I asked well aren't you two apart of my dream, so I can control you, and I attempted to control them and their actions, but I couldn't. I could do it on everything else, but couldn't on them. So I began to wonder about it. They said we were able to control what we called a "dream" by physical manipulation of the environment. Since there were no laws of physics, I could fly, but it was me flying, it was the environment bending to what I wanted. Objects can appear, because the environment put them there, not us. That is why we have to turn around think of something, then turn back around and it is there. Then shortly after all of these thoughts I woke up, but with brand new ideas of what the meaning of our dreams, and why we have them.
