    1. Portal Travel and Visiting Hyu (Lucid), Hotdog Bun Drama, and an Alternate Version of "Hook"

      by , 08-03-2014 at 01:49 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I had woken up for a little while and I was having trouble going back to sleep. I decided to try to meditate to see if that would help. I cleansed my chakras and did some affirmations, and it worked!

      Not only did it work, but I felt myself enter a dream. I was lucid immediately, and it felt quite stable. I was in my room at my parents' house. It was set up the way I had it when I was in middle school/part of high school. It was dark and nighttime out.

      Of course, the first thing I did was call to Mike, but I got no response. Oh well. Onto other things.

      I decided to try to make some portals. I hadn't done that in a very, very long time. The first portal I made was to erm...a sex world where I was the only female. I figured since this was my dream, I could go wherever I wanted, even if it was just for pleasure. Anyway, I drew the outline, and it was the oily rainbow color that it usually is, and jumped into it. Details will be spared, but it was an interesting experience.
      I woke up for one part of it, but I DEILD'd back into it. When I went back into the dream and other things happened, I woke up and again had to DEILD.

      Upon the second DEILD, I found myself again in my dark childhood bedroom. I drew another portal and entered it. I intended to go to an astral world. When I got there, it was outdoors and sunny out. It had some nature around, so it wasn't like a city. I decided to try to change my outfit. There was, conveniently enough, a full-length mirror in front of me. I stepped away from it for a second, and imagined myself in a long, strapless, ballroom-type red dress. I stepped back in front of the mirror, and the dress looked nothing like I imagined, being a short, tight red dress -_-. I then tried again, and this time, it was a skimpy, see-through black lingerie type outfit. Nope. I kept doing it and getting different red and black dresses. I finally settled on a black one, I believe, though again, it didn't look like the one I imagined.

      At some point,
      I woke up and DEILD'd again. I was back in the dark bedroom. This time, I decided to try to get to Teraluna, since it had been awhile since I'd tried. I drew my portal, and was going to write "Teraluna" in the center, but I decided to just fill it in instead. I jumped in, and was then inside of another dark room. Hyu was asleep on a bed there. I figured he must be sleeping IWL. I approached him.
      "Hyu?"
      He opened his eyes.
      "Krista?" he said. He seemed surprised to see me.
      "It's been so long since we've talked," I said to him. I don't remember his response. I do believe there was more conversation here, though, of course, I can't recall it. -_-'

      We were then somewhere else, another world. I didn't see Hyu, but I was with a tall, thin person in a green shirt with a bob haircut. I thought maybe it was Hyu, but it was a woman...I saw that she had boobs. I was kind of confused, because it still seemed to be Hyu; I felt that it was, though the looks were deceiving. He told me it was him, and that he had just changed his form. Ahhh. Makes sense now.

      I do not remember all the details of every place that we went, but we traveled around via portal quite a bit. There would be times when I woke and DEILD'd, and I'd end up back in the dream with Hyu where we left off. I also know that he changed his form a few times, once appearing as the tall skinny Asian guy that he first appeared to me as.

      There were also points where I would do a finger count RC, but it would always fail; I would always count 5 fingers on each hand. Interesting.


      Finally, I woke, and decided to end the DEILD chain. I was a little disoriented at first, thinking that I was still in my room at my parents' place. I turned over and went to sleep, entering a non-lucid dream.

      ~

      Dallas and I were going to have a wedding ceremony. We were already married, but we had to have the formal ceremony. It was to be at a church. I pictured us walking in from outside with many other people, me in my dress and Dallas in his tux. It was a sunny day. I was picturing it in 3rd person.

      Scene skip, though the wedding thing still applies. I was eating at a restaurant with a couple that looked to be in their mid-thirties. They also looked kind of country, and quite skinny. I remember the man had a country accent. There was someone else with us, but I can't recall who. The guy got up to go to the bathroom or something, and I saw on his plate three hot dog buns. They were not separated, but still whole without the slit down the middle being all the way through. I started to separate them for him. One of them looked very lopsided, and I was trying to fix it. He came back, and got onto me about trying to help him to separate his buns (lol separate his buns). He said it was rude. I apologized. I had only been trying to help.

      Then, I got up to go do something. When I returned, no one was at the table; it's like everyone had gotten up to go, and no one was watching the table. There was a bill on the table, plus an extra fee of $4 for leaving without paying. Ugh, frustrating. We hadn't intended that to happen.

      ~

      I was watching some weird version of the movie "Hook", where Hook is redeemed and finds his place in the human world. Towards the end of the movie, someone says "run home Jack", like they do in the actual movie, but it jars something inside of Hook, and he remembers that his name is actually Jack, and he gets overjoyed as he remembers his true identity, and somehow gets to the human world, though I can't remember how. I then remember seeing a commercial in the movie of an older version of him being topless with only underwear on. He was very fat with boobs, and trying to cover up his nipples as he jumped around with other people on the TV screen. I don't know what he was advertising, but he failed to cover up his very large nipples at one point. Pretty sure it wasn't an accident. Something about breast milk. I saw some coming out of his nipples. He was talking about "alternative milk". I thought about how that wasn't possible unless you were lactating after pregnancy. I couldn't believe they put that in the movie.

      ~

      I was "recalling" my dream adventure with Hyu, trying to put the details together. I don't remember Hyu being there at all. All the worlds were somehow linked within a story line that was chained together through children's nursery rhymes and such. I remember being in a city at one point, and my brother being there at another point. He was talking on the phone. I remember at one point being in a bathroom and pooping...a lot.

      I think these false memories made it harder for me to recall more details of my lucid adventures. Ugh. Dumb.

      ~

      So more lucidity, and a visit with Hyu! Meditation really seems to help, and of course intention. I've also noticed over the years that I tend to LD more when I am laying on my back to sleep, which is not a common sleeping position for me. When I was meditating, I fell asleep, and I had been laying on my back as I usually am while I meditate. But there have been times where I haven't been meditating, but I've fallen asleep on my back, and even had a WILD that way. An interesting observation. I wonder what the link is between LDs and sleeping position? Does anyone have an ideas, or has there been any research done on it (formal or informal, it doesn't matter)?

    2. Alyzarin and Rave Master, Naruto Shippuden Resurrection, Raising Suspicion, Hyu, Weird Preacher

      Alyzarin and Rave Master (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I can't remember much here, but I definitely feel that I'm near Alyzarin. The room is bright, and I believe can see a glimpse of the black undershirt and black long sports pants with the white stripes on the side that she wore with my peripheral vision.

      Alyzarin is showing me a few drawings she did, and from those sets, she showed a picture Haru and Elie from the anime version of Rave Master.


      It wasn't like this, just using this to remember the outfits.

      We continued to talk about random things that I can't remember too well. I didn't get to see her face unfortunately.

      She has light brown hair, a beautiful shine to it, long, curly and wavy too. I couldn't recall her actual voice, but she was cheerful and talkative when she was next to me. She was glowing with enthusiasm, even though I couldn't hear her at all, and she had a slightly pale skin. It was probably because of the lighting in the room that made it seem that way, but I didn't really mind at all.

      I looked at a picture of Haru and Elie. Haru is on the left side of the picture (from my view that is), and he's wearing the long sleeved black jacket with the Rave cross symbol just like in the anime version.

      He also has a white shirt underneath the black long sleeved jacket as well, and Elie is on the right side next to Haru. She's wearing the sleeveless tank top with the rave cross symbol in the middle of it as well, and she's wearing the short blue shirt (it could've been the light red one she occasionally wore too, or not, oh well).

      Haru and Elie are smiling, and it seems they have their focus on what's ahead of them. Haru has his right hand elevated above his head, probably to block something like the sunlight. I can't remember what Elie is exactly doing in the photograph, but she does have her mouth wide open smiling.

      The next set of fragments are kind of confusing in finding out where they belong in this same dream plot. They could've been different short dreams, but I'll just combine them together based on certain characters showing up.

      (Okay, this is the part I'm not sure belongs here, but my gut feelings says that it does).

      After talking to Alyzarin, I go inside of a room that's way darker than the one I was in with her. I eventually reached one of those old types of elevators. It had a wooden base, and metal railings formed in a rectangle. Honestly, the elevator itself just looked like two wooden bases (top and bottom) being connected by metal rods to create space for those going on it.

      The elevator, or whatever this thing was, could only contain one person. It felt kind of small, so I decided to sit down crisscrossed on the wooden base. The elevator slowly lifts up, and as I'm waiting to get to wherever it is I'm going, I see the bright white light emitting from the room I exit to get to this room.

      I see someone slowly come out into the light, but I can't see their visage properly. I look at the blurry image of the person in front of me looking at me go up, and the more I look at them, the more I feel that I'm going to miss them a lot.

      The only person where I would have that kind of feeling in a dream would be Alyzarin.....I couldn't do anything but just watch whoever it is stand there, and once the elevator went so far up that I couldn't see her anymore, I just stare at the brick walls from this point on
      .

      The room, and even while going up the elevator, had that kind of dark blue atmosphere you see in dark rooms, if that makes any sense...

      The elevator finally stops, and I get out, but I'm looking down on the floor before looking up.


      I see things in first perspective, just like when I met Alyzarin, and I'm still looking down on myself, and see that I have no shoes on at the moment. I look up, and find Haru from Rave Master is on the left side. He tells me that I can find some shoes to where he's pointing, and while he's doing that, it seems he's in the middle of a conversation with someone else.

      I look at the shoes Haru is wearing, and it's a pair of black lace-less shoes (maybe there were strings, but they were most likely too small for me to tell at first glance).

      I look over to see which shoes are there for me to use, and the only ones that are there is a pair of light brown shoes. I couldn't tell if it was lace less, or had small shoe strings, and I picked them up and before I put them on, I realize these shoes look exactly like my father's shoes in waking life.

      Greeeeeat, this moment is just screaming, "Being in your father's shoes..."

      LOL.

      I didn't really have time to think about this dream making me be in my father's shoes, so I quickly put them on, and I think I asked Haru what we're going to do, because I honestly don't know why he's around, or why I'm around with him.

      He puts his right hand on his shoulder, smiles and declares,

      "We're going on a new adventure."

      I can't remember what happens next after that though.

      Naruto Shippuden Resurrection (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I can't remember much from this dream, and I honestly would just classify it as a dream fragment, but this is only because the moments starting to flee from my mind when I woke up abruptly this morning.

      I'm at a table covered in cloth, and on this table are several white printer type papers. Each paper has a portrait drawing of someone from Naruto Shippuden, and maybe a few random anime like faces. The perspective changes to where each drawing is panned over the other one, like, when I see one drawing, someone would say the name of that person, and then move on to the next drawing.

      I think one name I remember sounded like saying "Sumo" or Suno," something like that. These definitely look like people who were resurrected or are going to be resurrected during the Shinobi War in Shippuden.

      Raising Suspicion (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I'm walking around at a random place outside, and I believe I see a gun that's not loaded on a table to the right of me. I see a dark skinned man wearing an orange shirt, and baggy pants.

      He has a gun blatantly located between his shirt and slightly tucked underneath the top region of the pants he's wearing. I start getting suspicious that he's up to something, especially if he isn't concerned that he should conceal the weapon in the first place.

      I slowly reached for the gun to my right to try and get it loaded,
      but I forget what happens next.

      New York and Texas (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Apparently, to get to Texas, I had to take the path that was previously set out for New York instead. I saw all of this on a brochure, or some kind of paper with transportation information on it.

      The dream shifts to where I'm inside of a vehicle in the back, with my father driving on the left side. I think he's getting ready to make a right turn,
      and that's all I remember.

      Alyzarin and Hyu's Avatar (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I took a short nap in the afternoon..



      I log on to Windows Live Messenger, and I see Alyzarin has her status as "Away," so I decided to go on Dream Views and look at dream journal entries in the mean time before she would come back as "Available."

      I go to Hyu's dream journal entry, but I can't see the title and the content clearly, the only thing that pops out is a new avatar of Yuya. She has her right hand resting on her chin, and has her left hand laying parallel to surface she's resting both arms on.

      There's also a pink background behind Yuya. I think I go back to see if Alyzarin is available again, but she still is away. I look at her profile on Dream Views, and it shows she's online, so I guess she was going to get something and come back soon.

      Weird Preacher (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I'm outside in an environment that has a very gloomy setting to it, and it feels so empty being in here. There are a lot of skinny gray trees, and the surface was all covered in dead autumn leaves.

      There's a house ahead, and it looks very old. Its exterior is composed of gray painted wood, and I keep hearing a voice that sounds as if someone is trying to preach something. I get closer to the house, maybe 15 feet away from it, and I see a man to the right of the house, in the middle of field.

      Either this man has a Bluetooth headphone set talking to someone, or maybe he's just crazy and all alone. I think he is repeating the same set of words, and randomly walking around the area. I keep my distance away from him, but we eventually come close range to each other.

      I can finally see his visage, he has an extreme frowning expression with his mouth slightly open. His eyebrows are pointing downwards, and his eyes are almost bulging out. He doesn't look mad, it's just that he has the expression pasted on his face.

      He doesn't do anything to me, except to just look at me for a few seconds while he goes back to being crazy and talking to himself again. If only I could've recalled his repeated message, I wouldn't have labeled him as a complete nutjob.

      Then random things happen, like I could hear voices of other people making fun of this same man walking around. There's a video screen that shows up in the middle of nowhere, and there's a gray pointer on top of the streaming bar with the letter "B" in white font.

      It seems it's just a short advertisement for something, but the only thing I was paying attention to was the letter "B" in the white font, since it did take up a lot of space to serve as a time marker.

      I heard someone make some smart-ass remarks about the advertisement, and the crazy man walking around the gloomy setting.

      Anal Cakes (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      The title may create some preconceptions, but wow, these cakes were actually pretty damn good. It's not what you think it is....

      I'm inside a store, and I'm going to the junk food aisle basically, and take the time to look around for something good to buy.

      I see this pack of "Anal Cakes" in a box, kind of like the Zebra Cakes in waking life. I'm kind of bothered by the name of this brand, so i decided to just grab the box, open it, and take a bite out of it.

      Holy freaking hell, THIS THING TASTES AWESOME!!!!!!!

      I take another small cake, eat it, savoring its sweet and delectable taste. I eat so much that I eventually feel a little guilty, and my taste buds are already used to the taste, so I guess it's already used to it by now. Now I'm starting to taste a little bit of the salt now that the sweetness was ignored.

      I see my mother come up to me, and I showed her these Anal cakes, and asked her if she wants to try some.

      I can't remember what she tells me though.

      Canine Police Dogs (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I'm walking outside, seems the weather is okay, not too hot or cot, just a little windy...perfect.

      I'm walking with someone, and I then I asked them how come "Sheh" didn't show up. (I'll just call him "Sheh" because I don't want to state his full name in waking life).

      I answer my own question when I realized that he's taking a trip to Florida, which he actually is still on the route to, or he's probably already there in waking life.

      I turn to the right and continue walking, and by this point, I can't tell if someone is walking with me anymore, and I don't recall even looking at them at all.

      There's some police guy with a huge canine dog, and he has a good grip on the dog. It seems he's showing the dog where to go to get some people dealing with drugs I believe. He lets go of the dog, and it charges into the house on my right side.

      All I could hear was some guy mildly screaming, the dog probably severely injured him, or maybe even killed him.

      Not too sure.

      That's all i remember for that one.

      Following Jinx (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I don't remember much of this because this....probably because I remembered so much from the dream below me. But this dream was probably the first part to it though.

      I remember following Jinx from Teen Titans, and it seems we're doing some kind of robbery together...well isn't that cute...



      She has another companion who decides to go another route, probably to make some kind of flank formation. The same companion looks like Mammoth from the H.I.V.E. academy in the series as well.



      I decided that I should follow him, but he quickly turns around to tell me that I should follow Jinx instead.

      I comply and follow Jinx and that's all I remember.

      Code Lyoko Group and Presentation (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I have a feeling this a continuation of the dream I had where I'm with Jinx from Teen Titans.

      And this is one of those dreams where I could probably distract myself from waking life, and still be able to retain some pretty good imagery of major scenes, which is normal for me....I think I take this for granted sometimes, but I know I can do better with recall.


      It feels like High School all over again lol, at least until the dream was almost coming to a close.

      Anyway, I'm walking down the hallway with Ulrich from Code Lyoko. Apparently, we have these gray container to carry around to go to the lecture class.



      The flooring is white, the walls are either white are gray, and the doors and double doors are mostly gray with some kind of white opaque material for the small windows on them. The lighting is somewhat decent, still dimming in and out a occasionally, but nothing too bothersome.

      (It isn't like the schooling in France that the series (Code Lyoko) is supposed to be based on...like middle school-high school kind of thing)

      We try to move the container with a type of dolly machine, but it keeps coming off. After a few tries, I get on top of the dolly machine and hold the container in place, while using my left leg on the ground to push off and accelerate the whole thing. Ulrich is helping me a little bit too, but I'm not paying too much attention on whether or not he's helping me.

      We almost get to a dead-end, and I turn to Ulrich and ask where we have to go, he gets his right arm, and points to the right to a gray double door.

      Oh.

      We go in, and I take a moment to absorb all that there is in this class (more like 5 seconds lol). There's quite a lot of people here, and I couldn't find anyone who looks like a replica of people I've seen and/or known in waking life. Hmmm...

      You have to go to this slope going downwards in order to get to the front of the class, and it seems that me and Ulrich came in at the right time, seeing as Jeremy and I think even Yumi were waiting for us.

      The professor tells the class that it's now time for the group to present, and he just happens to say my name along with someone else in the group, can't remember who, probably Ulrich of Jeremy.

      Dream shifts, and I'm sitting behind the lecturer's desk, I believe our group is up next, but we continue listening to whoever it is that is talking, can't remember who though.

      So much for being the ones to present when I came into class...oh well, more time to recollect my thoughts!

      Probably just one group that's making closing statements with their group project. While we're listening, I look around, and then I feel a little confident that I can pull off what I'm going to say for the group presentation.

      Then I fold my legs by putting my left leg over to my right leg, while still sitting on the edge of something, probably the container that I still don't know what's in it. It's finally our turn, and then I realized,

      CRAP, I NEED MY FLASH CARDS!!!



      I find that they're in front of me, and I grab them quickly and scan over on things I have to say. I see some elements of the Biology class I took my second semester as a freshmen at my university, and I'm sure that there would've been some Biochemistry tidbits on Eldepryl, seeing as I did a presentation in waking life on the same drug for patients with Parkinson's disease.

      One flash card that stood out was the one that said "A C P" going down on the left side. "Armadyl Chest Plate" (yes I used a Runescape item as a reference loooooool) was the little Mnemonic I would use for one Biology Lab Quiz to remember the types of coelomates and other things.

      I get up, along with my group, though I'm more fixed on making sure I do well rather than the other members in the group. I guess that's better than worrying if one person is going to do well, which could just ruin my overall performance.

      As I'm going to speak, dream shifts again.

      I believe I'm sitting down in one of the rows of seats on the downward slope in the room, and it seems someone is passing out some worksheets, or exams....something that was graded, I think? There was one Asian guy with glasses who received his worksheet, and I peeked over to see what it was about.

      The guy only answered one question, at least on the front page of the worksheet that probably had 2-3 more pages.

      Honestly the dream shift above I mentioned, I'm not exactly sure WHEN it happened in this dream, I just know it happened IN this dream because the environment and everything were almost exactly the same. Dark blue seats, all that stuff.

      Dream shifts again.

      Then this weird part comes up in the dream, it's like a small video clip playing inside my mind. There's these group of random people outdoors in some kind of small forest, and the ground looks like mulched dirt or something of the sort.

      These people are in a formation where they do something in unison, like waving their hands up and down. They do some other random stuff that I can't remember too well, and the little clip inside my head finally ends.

      When I regain consciousness that I'm in a lecture room, our presentation is done, and it seems everything went okay when I was blank too!

      Either my subconscious played that random video to take control of my words at the time, or maybe the dream was that random, though I doubt the latter is a reasonable excuse for me to go blank.

      Anyway, seems we're the last group to present as well, and the professor says we can all go. This feels like High School, but elements of college is in here, like the fairly large lecture room and all that.

      Everyone starts cheering with so much enthusiasm, guess it must be the last day for school to start off some holiday or something. I get ready to follow the large group of people running to get out of the building and have some fun with their lives, but then I stopped to look for a back pack.

      Hmmm....

      Wonder why I would be looking for a back pack...I would like to go and interpret this brief moment I took to stop and find a backpack to assume that it's probably the dream girlfriend Kaomea said one guy that looked like me had, but nahhhhh, it's probably not.

      I find a backpack on the floor, and assume it's mine, and since there was no one else around behind the table, I guess it had to be mine. The only thing that couldn't have made it mine was that the person who left was so excited that they forgot their backpack.....but it's a dream, so whatever.

      There's still people going out to leave the building, and I let the act of conformity guide me through this. I see Jinx again, and it seems Cyborg from Teen Titans as well is running after her. It seems he wants to apologize to her about something, seeing as the expression on her face portrays that she still hasn't finished sulking.



      Cyborg stops and lets her run, which convinces me to run after her. I wanted to turn around and look back at Cyborg and give him that look that said, "What's wrong with you bro? You made her sad," but I just kept focused on following Jinx.

      I don't know why I'm following her though. I keep chasing after her, and when we get to these sets of glass double doors, the whole row of double doors gets lock. Jinx barely managed to get pass this before it happened. Then I see some kind of police squad in all blue outfits get closer the doors.

      What is this, some kind of retaliation for people who just want to get out of the building already? Weird.......

      I don't take any time for this police squad to affect me, they could deal with the other people there standing there like idiots for all I care. I turn to the left, and dash for the next door, and as I get closer to it, a set of bars slam down as well.

      Crap....I had the feeling that if that locked down, others would lock down as well, but I still kept trying by finding more ways to get out. I look around frantically, and see one door that isn't completely shut.

      It has some kind of doorstop to keep it open, and I quickly go through it, finally....half-way out the building lol.

      I hear some girls talking, I have a feeling they're following where I'm going since I seem to be picking some lucky paths. The sounded like cheerleaders or something, because one of them was worried and said that they won't be able to make it to some kind of recital or something like that.

      As I'm passively listening to the girls that are probably still running with me, (I didn't turn back to see who they are though), I find some weird exit that went upwards in a zig-zag motion. The flooring for this path was dark brown, and it felt like a decent and abnormal route to go to.

      Things are going alright as I'm heading to the path, and we're completely out of the building now. Then things start getting random, like one of the girls ran faster than me, turned around while running backwards even (or maybe she was just levitating, not sure), and I think she was singing a country song.

      Then as I'm still running, the country song is being played out, not sure if it's an actual one in waking life, or just a mash of them. I stop, and I see a bunch of girls running. I don't think they're chasing me though, they look like they're hungry.

      There's this mini-fast food that I remembered that was in front of me before I turned around to see the group of females running like crazy.

      I find myself under some kind of container while the women were running, and it seemed they were vomiting where I'm at as well.....-____-

      I find myself back on the surface, fortunately not anywhere on the area with vomit, and go into the mini-fast food. Seems the only thing the employee/owner cooks there are eggs sunny side up or scrambled.

      I told him, "Good thing I decided to wait things out." I don't know what I said that, but maybe it's because the women that were vomiting probably ate the eggs too fast that it caused horrible stomach problems to make them puke.

      Not sure how that works out if they're going into the store and not coming out, that's dream logic for you.

      The owner/employee responds with some generic statement. Then a random person comes in and says what I said about how it's a good thing he decided to wait it out.

      The owner/employee says the same generic statement to him as well.

      I just stand there....

      What the hell just happened.....this is a very awkward ending to dream that could've been more dramatic.

      Dream Journal Comments (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Lol, a dream about dream journals, HA, that's rare.

      I made a Dream Journal post, and had a few comments on there, but I didn't know what the dreams were overall. The comments were mostly related to how I shouldn't have let myself down for trying to trust someone.

      Some people I remember making a post were khh, darknightedlady, and even Hyu.

      O.O

      I can't remember their exact comments but they were all geared towards some female that I decided to trust.

      Hyu's comment was really inspiring, it made me feel better about myself, sucks that I don't know what it was though. :/

      Then OldSparta likes a dream I had, but I don't remember which one lol.
    4. Brief Lucidity and Some Fragments

      by , 09-25-2011 at 03:25 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      All I really recall about this dream is it being like a video game. First, I was in a classroom. It looked like one of my elementary school classrooms.

      I was in a house at night, and I had to watch out for something in there.

      I also remember riding in a car with a couple of other people. Something had happened as to where when we got mad, we'd grow these insane beards or mustaches. Wtf? I wanted to fix that because it was silly.

      There was a football stadium in there somewhere too.


      ~

      I was outside in what I think was a football stadium. The sky was very blue and it was daytime. There were other people around as well. They looked kind of cartoony.

      I spontaneously just knew it was a dream. I flew into the air, but not too high. I wanted to let the dream play out to see what happened.

      But of course, that didn't happen. I was then in a mall, watching people walk by. I decided I wanted to try to visit Hyu again. I walked around, searching for a wall or something I could draw a portal on. I found a pillar, and just as I was about to draw the portal, I thought of how Hyu teleports to get places, and how much faster that is. I decided to give that a whirl.

      Only problem with that was I had no idea how to even begin to do that. I stood by the pillar and saw many people walking by. I though of my destination, though all I knew about that was it was wherever Hyu was. I thought about that for a little bit, and things started fading. I was losing the dream because I was just standing around doing nothing. I started to walk around, but everything went black.


      ~

      I was then somewhere else. I tried to count my fingers, and was coming up with 5, sometimes 6, but I thought I had just miscounted those times. I tried to make an extra finger grow out of my hand, but couldn't. I had an inkling I was still dreaming, though.

      Ugh. I need to get my dreaming skills back up to where they used to be. It's so frustrating.

      EDIT: My mom just called me and told me she had her first lucid dream where she had control! YAY!! I'm proud of her!!

      Also, I was her dream guide! She said that I was in all 5 lucids she had this morning, and I told her that she was dreaming, she could do whatever she wanted, how to switch dreams, and how to reality check!!

      Just had to add that...I thought that was so cool!!!

    5. DEILD Explorations, Part 2: Seeing Hyu and Testing My Dream Senses

      by , 04-30-2011 at 09:13 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      *Continued from Part 1*

      I then heard music playing loudly. The singer was a male, though I don’t remember the words. I remember feeling someone else there with me. I thought to myself
      “How can I sleep with the music so loud?”
      Oh wait…I’m already asleep. Duh. The music then changed to a slower, lyricless song. It had a lot of sitar in it. I decided to enjoy and listen to the music. I felt myself falling, falling, falling, but not fast. It was a slow fall as I tumbled in space towards my dream.

      The music ended as I landed in my dreamscape. I had entered the dream with some guy. We were in some office-type room, each of us behind a computer. The guy started to talk about the music that had been playing. I examined my hands. Too many fingers, and some looked like toes. I started walking around the room trying to figure out what to do. I floated around, looking for empty walls to draw portals on.


      I then woke up again. I immediately DEILDed into another dream, feeling the same slow tumbling sensation as before.

      I was in a room similar to the one I had been in before, but the guy was gone. I decided to try to see Hyu. I repeated my portal process of writing his name on the wall with my finger, drawing a circle around it, and saying where I wanted to go. It looked the same as before; similar to oil rainbows. I colored the portal in with my hand and entered it.

      I then fell into darkness. I was in a pool of gooey stuff, it felt weird, but not gross. I then saw an opening into another room. I started going towards it. The room was colored dark blue with a poster of guitars on the wall above a desk. It was daytime outside, I could see it through the windows. At first, I wasn’t sure if I had ended up in the right place and hesitated, but changed my mind and went in.

      I entered the room, and turned the corner into another room. Sitting in a chair to my left was Hyu. He looked older than what I remembered.
      “Hyu!”, I said. He replied
      “Hey Krista, haven’t seen you in awhile.”
      I had this bizarre feeling that he was awake. It was like he was awake, but seeing me at the same time, even though I was asleep and dreaming. He then got up out of the chair. He had a backpack on his back. He was on his way to class. He started to go towards the front door.
      “Can I come with you?”, I asked as I followed him. He told me no, I couldn’t. He had some report to do or something. He walked out the front door. I said something to him about wanting to see Japan, and if I should do that next. I can’t remember his response. He was a distance away from me at this point.


      I then woke up again and DEILDed.

      I was looking up at trees silhouetting the night sky. I tried to fly upwards, but woke up.

      DEILDed again.

      This time, I saw a town close to mine in waking life. In the dream, it had been devastated by a tornado (not so in waking life). I remember seeing an older couple in front of a destroyed building. The woman was bawling, saying that the town should be taken off the map. I was semi-lucid at this point.

      I walked around in the rubble for a bit before I snapped into full lucidity. I phased through a wall to get outside. I then started to walk into a green field. For some reason, I threw my phone onto the ground. It shattered into many pieces. I decided to pick up one of the pieces, turn it into something yummy, and eat it. I picked a piece up. It felt like a light, powdery cake. I ate it. It tasted like powdered sugar.

      I then decided to test my other senses. I looked all around me, taking everything in. I saw many green trees, and some horses fenced in a barbed wire pen in the distance. I tried to smell, but for some reason, I couldn’t smell anything.

      I then decided I wanted to ride a horse, since it’s so hard for me to do so in waking life because I’m extremely allergic. I walked up to the pen. My friends Courtney and Caitlin were there. I decided that since I was dreaming, I could phase through or climb the barbed wire pen. I started trying to climb it, but it felt very uncomfortable. Well duh, it’s barbed wire…it’s not gonna feel good. As I tried to climb down, I noticed I was stuck. I looked down at my feet. There was a screw that had gone through the bottom of my pinky toe, rendering me stuck, though there was no blood. My first instinct was to panic; that stuff grosses me out to no end in waking life. I then decided I needed to calm down and figure out how to get unstuck. I made a comment about it to Courtney, saying I was stuck on a screw.

      I then made the decision to yank the toe free. I had to face my fear. Without looking, I yanked my toe free of the screw. It hurt a little. I looked down at my foot. Still no blood, but I could see where the skin was broken and torn. I imagined a bandage on my toe. Courtney commented on how cute the bandage was, and that she never had cute bandaids. I looked down and there were Hello Kitty bandaids on my big and second toe, but not the pinky toe. I tried again, and a bandaid appeared on my pinky toe.


      Then, I woke up again. I was going to DEILD again, but was afraid I’d never remember all this if I DEILDed too many times in a row. O_O

    6. Trying to Get to Teraluna, The Villian at Work, and More

      by , 04-07-2011 at 04:23 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid - AP

      I was at work. It was daytime. There was a customer in there being a giant douchebag to everyone. He turned out to be some super villian, kind of like The Penguin in Batman. I was trying to ignore his antics, when I spotted him trying to pick a fight with another customer by the door. I yelled
      "Hey! HEY!"
      He, and everyone else in the shop, got silent and stared at me. I continued to yell
      "We don't treat each other like that here. If you're going to, then you can get the fuck out!"
      I turned around and walked away, fuming. My voice had sounded a little hoarse, but I think he (and everyone else) got the point. People started clapping and cheering.

      Then, I turned around, and the guy was vomitting on the carpet. He was doing it to be a douchebag again. He acted like he was actually sick. His vomit was green and vile-looking. I gagged.

      Then, I saw one of my friends, Katie, walking in the parking lot towards the shop. She looked happy, and was walking a little dog. I turned to whoever I was standing next to and said
      "How much you wanna bet Katie's gonna see that and throw up?"
      Katie came in, saw the vomit on the carpet, and she gagged.

      Then I remember talking to someone about how the villian was my neighbor, and my dad was a villian too, but he acted normal. It was weird. I talked about him going over to talk to the neighbor, and acting all normal about it, as if I didn't know what was going on.

      Then, I felt myself transition into another dream. I then knew it was a dream. I was in the bonus room of my house, and decided to take charge of the dream, and try to get to Teraluna. I rubbed my hands together, and the dream got more vivid. I had never tried that before in a dream. I asked my dream guide, whom I still have yet to meet, to help me get to Teraluna. I started drawing a portal with my finger in midair. The edges didn't meet, so I had to fix it so the edges met. I tried to walk through it, and it got dark for a minute, but I was still in my house.

      I then decided to try creating a portal on the wall. I thought that may be a bit easier. I drew a portal with my fingers, and touched it, concentrating on where I wanted to go. The portal rippled, then glowed with a white light. When the light disappeared, the portal was a golden door with intricate patterns carved into it. In the very middle, there was an eye. It looked like a real eye. I would compare it to a glass eye set in the middle of the door. I touched the top left corner of the door and concentrated on where I wanted to go. I then touched the eye.

      The door didn't open, but I was then in the catacombs of some ancient Egytptian structure. There were other people there too, running around. There was also fast, Egyptian-style music playing. It was slmost kind of video game-esque.

      Well, it's not Teraluna, but I decided to explore anyway. The room was dimly lit by torches on the wall. I ran through the bottom of this catacombs, and decided I needed to look the part. I looked down, and was wearing sandals on my feet, and Egyptian robes fluttered as I ran. Too awesome, I thought. Too awesome. I tried to enlongate my hair by feeling the ends and trying to imagine more hair, but for some reason, I couldn't do that.

      I then remember seeing msyelf in a mirror. My robes were red and off-white. They were very flowy. I thought that was really neat, and I started to dance. I danced for a little bit, then decided to keep going.

      I then remember being on a different floor of this catacombs-type place. I was looking over a balcony that went to the bottom floor. Things were a little more well-lit. On the bottom floor, I could see Chinese acrobats making a human pyramid. The floor down there was white. I decided to float down to the bottom. I felt like I was getting closer to my goal.

      Then, I was standing in front of another door. I started to feel myself wake up. I did not want to, so I started to imagine myself on a beach on Teraluna, with the ocean spray in my face. Everything was black, as I felt the sensations I was imagining. I tried to open my eyes, but my real eyes started to open instead. I quickly shut them, and was then in small room with royal blue-tiled walls that had black markings in the middle of the tiles. It had tall ceilings. I saw a Coke machine on the left wall. Strange.

      In the middle of the room stood Hyu. I walked up to him and gave him a hug. I looked at his face. It was so detailed. I looked into his eyes, and they were a very clear blue, almost turquoise. I started to see the glare in the corner of my vision, indicating that I was going to wake up. I did not want to again, and refused to by covering up the eye that the glare was coming from. The glare went away, and I was fully immersed in the dream again.
      "You smell spooky"., said Hyu.
      I told him that made sense, since I had been in the ancient Egyptian place. We continued to hug.
      "Don't go nattin' on me.", he said, whatever that meant. I understood it to mean "Don't kiss me,"or something. I laughed and said he didn't have to worry about that. I was just happy to see him.


      Then, I awoke. I could still feel us hugging.

      ~

      I remember being at my old piano teacher's house. I then remember seeing some weird interstate exits, but they were only smaller, artistic models of them. They looked like slides with moving conveyer belts, and some blocks randomly placed on them. 2 girls slid down them, and hurt themselves as they hit the blocks that were in the middle of them.

      I then remember seeing some old warehouse behind Goody's (clothes store). It was being advertised as a great place for kids to have birthday parties at, becuase you could put anything you wanted in them. I saw a skateboard ramp in there, and some arcade games.

      Then, I walked around and saw my old friend, Alex, laying on a couch. he was wearing a grey sweat suit. I asked him if he was ok, and he said he had been sick. I told him to feel better, but instead of calling him Alex, I called him Dawson. I didn't realize my mistake until later, and I texted him and told him I was sorry for calling him the wrong name.

      Then, I woke up in a car. I looked at my phone. it was it was 4 o'clock pm. I knew I was dreraming, because that was ridiculous. I got out of the car, and was in a city that was overlooked by hills. I approached a female DC who was walking down the street. I asked her a question, and she started to answer. Unfortunately, during her answer I woke up.

      I quickly went back to sleep and re-entered the dream. I was still with the DC. Everything was black and white at first, then filled with color. I told the DC I was sorry, I was back, and she could continue talking. I remember flying at some point.


      Then, I got distracted and lost lucidity and did who knows what till I woke up.

    7. Hyu and the Anagrams, and Some More Dreams (Lucid and Non-Lucid)

      by , 03-31-2011 at 03:41 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid - AP

      I was with a couple of other people. I'm not sure exactly where we were, but we were watching a strange movie. It started out with a guy laying in a canyon in a desert, who had no arms or legs. He was bleeding out his stumps, and moaning for help. He had been attacked by a dinosaur. I commented at this point:
      "This is really gross.", I said.

      Then, a girl came up to him. Apparently, she was known for seducing guys who were in a vulnerable place. She tried to help him. Now, I was seeing from her POV. I laid down with my legs by his so they looked like they were his legs. He hallucinated and thought they were, and put his stumps down on her legs, and screamed in agony as more blood seeped out of them. I had to look away at this point.

      Apparently, she wasn't trying to seduce him. I then remember the end, with them walking together, and him having his arms and legs sewed back on. I had thought they were gone, and I asked someone if the girl had saved his limbs. I don't remember the answer I got.

      Then, I remember something about it being a Christian movie.


      ~

      I was in the parking lot outside the auditorium at my college. It was daytime, and I was walking to my class, but I needed to change clothes first for some reason. I started to do so in the parking lot, but then noticed that everyone driving by could see. I moved more inside the parking lot, behind some cars. I then saw a girl, Abby, that I used to work with a long time ago. She was changing clothes as well. She said hello to me, then we got in my car. She sat in the driver's seat, and I was in the back. She asked if she could drive to my house for some reason. I said yes, but we needed to be quick, because I had to get to class. She said ok, and drove to my house.

      We got there, and after a few minutes of me being in my room and Abby doing who knows what, I noticed the clock. I was late for class already, and I got upset. I knew I needed a shower anyway, because I apparently hadn't had time to get one before I left.

      I remember then having a huge wad of money hidden somewhere, I think in my old jewelry box, and I had to find a different place to hide it. I decided on hiding it in my bottom dresser drawer, under some towels and stuff. My mom was helping me put stuff away in the drawer, and I had to ask her to move some things around so the money would be concealed.

      Then, I remember waking up on the floor in my bonus room. I had slept in there overnight for some reason. Shelly, a girl I work with, was in there doing something. Cleaning, I think. She went up to this stereo, and turned it on. I told her to turn it off, because I was going back to sleep. She turned it off.

      I woke up in this situation a couple more times, then wondered if I was dreaming. I tried to read some text, I don't remember what or where, but it looked relatively similar both times I looked at it. I still felt like I was dreaming, so I got up. I saw myself in the reflection of the TV getting up. I walked past Shelly, and she didn't notice that I was up. I then went to the door, and tried to phase through it. I pushed myself through it into the hallway, confirming my suspicions that I was dreaming. I walked to the stairs, and remembered one of my goals: To share a dream with Hyu. I pushed my hand out in front of me, as if to create a portal, but I said "I want to meet Hyu!" And a strange portal started to appear. I jumped through it, and everything went black for a minute, but then I was just tumbling through the air in the hallway. I landed on my back.


      I woke up for real for a minute, turned over, and went back to sleep.

      ~

      I was in high school, doing the musical Cats. I didn't remember rehearsing it much, but we were performing. We had on these weird white costumes. They were baggy, and not very Cats-like at all. I had a part as a "Dream Girl", or something.

      As soon as the play started, I was laying down on the ground, peeking out of the curtain, watching the play. I thought someone may be able to see me in the audience, but I paid no mind. I was watching a dance routine. I remember two little black girls dressed in tutus were doing ballet, and the high schoolers were dancing around and singing. It was a slow song.

      I got up, and walked towards my friends, the other "Dream Girls" in the play, and asked them when our cue to go on was. They told me, and we were going on very shortly.


      ~

      I woke up again in the bonus room. I suspected I was dreaming, so I did a reality check and counted my fingers. My right index finger looked funny, so I knew that I was dreaming, and left through the door.

      I was then outside, in the cul de sac behind my house. It was dusk. I was riding on a rolling desk chair. I saw my old friend, someone I briefly dated, Alan, playing basketball, shirtless. I was behind him, watching him for awhile. He didn't seem to notice me. I decided to leave before he saw me watching him; I didn't know if he'd like the idea of someone spying on him playing basketball.

      As I started to roll away, though, he got my attention. I did a reality check when he started talking to me by trying to poke my fingers through my hands. My finger trying to go through made my hands look like rubber, then one finally went through. We started to talk, and I asked him why he had wanted to date me before. He smiled and started mumbling some answer, it didn't make sense, so I asked him again. We were now standing in the street, with him leaning against the bed of a truck, and me standing in front of him. He smiled, and started to mumble a little again. I tried to understand what he was saying so I would remember upon waking, but I couldn't. He then said that he had been "unrealistic". Hmm. Interesting.

      While I was talking to Alan, I noticed more and more people were around. It almost seemed as if we were in the middle of a crowd. I then saw, to my right, a young man about my age, leaning up against another truck bed. He was Asian, tall, skinny, and was wearing a tight grey shirt, a leather jacket, and forest green dress pants. I had a thought that it was Hyu, but I started talking to Alan again.

      Then, the man got my attention. I went over to him. He had taken me by complete surprise. I then knew it was Hyu.
      "Hyu? Is it really you? How did you find me?", I managed to get out.
      "I had to.", he replied, as he grabbed me, and started walking. He seemed like he was on a mission of some sort.

      We were then in a small room with a table. I don't know how we got there. There was a girl sitting in a chair to my left; she had wavy, dark hair pulled back into a ponytail. Her eyes were very big; her irises were heart-shaped. They were changing colors as I stared at them.
      "You have beautiful eyes.", I said to her.
      "It's because of you.", she said with a smile. At that moment, her eyes were cheetah-print with red patterns moving through them. They were gorgeous. I understood her to mean when she said "It's because of you" that whomever looked into her eyes affected their appearance. For some reason, this girl's eyes seemed very familiar to me.

      I sat down in between Hyu and the girl. There were all these black papers all over the table. They were laminated with magazine cut-outs of letters all over them, scrambled up. Hyu told me I needed to decode them.
      "Anagrams.", I thought to myself.
      I had a pencil, but no paper to start trying to decode them with. I asked Hyu for some paper. He gave me a dark blue piece, but that wouldn't work. So then he gave me a brown piece. I told him that should be fine. I started to look at the anagrams, wondering where to even begin. There were so many, I didn't know where to start.

      I then started to see a a glare on the page I was looking at. I looked up at Hyu, because I knew I was about to wake up. He looked back at me, and then, I lost the dream and woke up.


      ~

      I woke up in my room, and I knew I was dreaming, but everything was all blurry and it was hard for me to keep my eyes open. The top half of my vision went black. I woke up.

      ~

      I woke up in my room. I knew I was dreaming immediately. I had felt myself enter the dream. I got up out of bed, and walked into the hallway. The house seemed big and empty; all the furniture was gone. I then remembered my previous dream, and started yelling for Hyu.
      "Hyu! Hyu! I'm back, where are you?", I yelled.
      I then tried to draw a portal on the wall. I drew it with my finger, though the edges were not straight at all. As I completed it, I touched it. It rippled, and as it did so, it looked like oil with all the rainbow colors it reflected. I tried to enter it, but I don't remember what happened after I entered it. I think I just woke up again.

    8. Red Bugs, Nomad, and Hyu Chan

      by , 03-08-2011 at 08:47 PM (Nocturn Core (Abridged))
      It was early summer, and a bunch of obnoxious, red bugs had flown north from Mexico to reproduce in our humid climate. Everywhere I looked, I saw them… They crawled on my skin – especially the arms – and my laptop screen. I killed them, of course, but there were always more waiting to occupy the surface of my body. Sometimes they bit me, too. I was really starting to lose my peace of mind with all these buzzing bugs around me. I read through comments on my dream journal. I noticed that most of new ones were from the same person… His avatar was one of those red bugs! I sighed when I realized all but one of his comments were obviously spam. I erased those. His semi-legitimate comment consisted of a series of images and an accompanying narration. He posted this on my “Your Dreams” page. The comment described dreams of American ships churning out swastika-branded cheese wheels. They created these on top of some kind of tower in the middle of the ship. A rotating blade cut the swastika shape out of the bottom of the cheese as it rested atop the tower. I watched this happen as though I was flying over one of the ships. I was confused when I noticed the blade was tearing up the enormous cheese wheel… The cheese became stuck to the blade and eventually clogged up the whole system.

      The comment continued with a description of WakingNomad sleeping on the floor of a wooden shack. I saw myself on the floor, too, but I wasn’t covered by a blanket. Nomad burst aside, jumped to his feet (at this point, I realized he was naked, but he didn’t seem to care), and started shouting about the wonders of life. I slowly sat up. As my vision left the image, I saw this was the end of the comment. I decided I wouldn’t trash it. Unfortunately, as I scrolled down, I saw an advertisement for microwaves that I hadn’t put on the page… I realized he must have put something in the comment to cause this to appear. I temporarily marked it as spam while I scanned the comment text and removed the advertisement. Once this was taken care of, I restored the comment and replied, briefly explaining what I had taken out.

      The dream jumped. My parents and I drove around a shopping center. It looked like the one on the way to Nicole’s school. Whenever we came to a store we considered stupid or poorly managed, we pushed a button on a remote control to change it to another store. We only left two stores in the whole shopping center unchanged. The first was a huge laundromat run by Janet Jackson. Even though my mom does all of her laundry at home, she seemed to like this place… We changed it a few times to see what would happen, but she eventually asked me to change it back, so I did. The second was a clothing store run by someone named Hyu Chan. I got the impression that he was meant to be the Hyu from Dreamviews. A sign posted on the door warned us that only Hyu Chan was permitted to drop the “Chan” from his name – so if I called him Hyu, he would be furious. The man had buck teeth and bug-eyed nerd glasses. My dad walked over to the suits and criticized them, instigating Hyu Chan’s rage. He asked my dad to leave. I picked up a brochure on Hyu and found his website (www.hyu.co.eu or something like that). It was essentially a fan site for the company he worked for. As Hyu Chan admitted in his self-published brochure, it was a bit strange for him to create his own version of the company website, but that was how he chose to express his pride in his work.

    9. Dragon Chronicles: Dream with Hyu

      by , 02-11-2011 at 09:38 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      Dragon Chronicles

      I am meditating in my meditation room. I am sitting in front of a mirror. There are wooden speakers growing out of the tree which is my home in the tree city of BanyanLand in the Biodome on Planet Moon.

      Pyramid Song is playing by Radiohead. Xaphor appears in the mirror... no... he looks strange, it’s someone different. A dragon looks at me, and claws at the mirror in terror or anger. For some reason, he can’t break it. The mirror just bends. He has bright yellow eyes with dark black slits.

      It’s Hyu.

      Something grabs his dragon-man ankle and yanks him back. “Don’t try to escape now, it’s time for your training!” A woman’s voice yells.

      I jump at the mirror, but something pushes me back. I activate my energy belt and witchblade. I slice through the mirror into a wormhole. There is a huge battle going on. Fuck, this wormhole goes right into my meditation room. I don’t have time to join in, But, I exude some cyborg astral parasite bombs, and toss them to the sides of the wormhole. They find the enemies, steal their energy, then use it to self-destruct.

      Fuckers.

      I see there is a mass of clear energy blocking the other side. I grow Maxx claws and shred the pane of energy.

      ***

      I am on Teraluna again. A slimy tentacles snake woman creature has Hyu in her giant grasp, choking him. I see his dream body inside his dragon body. I hear him saying, “I can’t be choked, I can breathe.”

      I see the Teraluna Selene and Yuya aiding Hyu. The other Selene looks almost the same, but with more blue, and less silver. I see the Catman bounter hunter from space, another version of me, attacking the creature. I realize this person is Selene’s lover here. How odd.

      A tentacle slaps me in the head. I roar, and turn into a virus before her slap breaks contact. Her tentacle gets infested and rots. I travel up into her entire dream body. She roars in anger and morphs into ants. I turn in a fungus in her gut, and make her sick. Then, I make a tiny dwarf star appear in my hand, and she is stuck in its pull. I open up a black hole portal, and stick an astral tentacle on her, downloading information. Tracked through time, space, dimensions... quest to kill the dragon who killed my daughter... revenge is sweet... food is beyond living...

      Um... okay. Into the portal you go.

      The others turn to me. Hyu turns into his normal self. He has pale skin, dark wavy hair, one violet eye, one green eye. His eyes are slightly slanted, like Bjork’s.
      “WakingNomad, WakingNomad? Is it you. This is a shared dream, isn’t it?”

      “It’s always a shared dream.”

      “But you’re not a DC? Are you? No.”

      “DC’s are all around us.” I spawn a bunch of DC’s and they have a cocktail party around us.

      “Why did you do that?”

      “For my ego. These people like me.”

      Women come to me and kiss me, and men congratulate me and give me money. I make them all disappear with a wave of my hand.

      Hyu falls over laughing. I see Catman wink at me, and little bug DC’s pop out of his fur and wave at me.

      “Cool man!”

      “For defense,” he grins. “DC body armor.”

      “What are we supposed to do?” says Hyu. “Oh my god! I can’t think of anything.”

      I feel the dream fading. I grab his hand. “This isn’t gay.” Hyu laughs again.

      “To the MOON!” I shout and fly up, Hyu in tow... for about 8 feet, then get slammed on the ground. Everyone else laughs at us. Teraluna-Selene says, ‘You are on the Moon, silly!”

      “Oh... To the DRAGONS!’

      “No, wait!” Hyu says. “I am going to wake up. I have to write this down. kicking ass in battle, good job, dude bro dragon whatever man!” Hyu fades away. I fall asleep on the grass, tired from the battle.
    10. Dragon Chronicles

      I am meditating in my meditation room in BanYanLand.

      DJ Sabertooth walks in and laughs at me. "What?"

      "Why are you sending your astral body out of your dream body?"

      "I didn't know I was doing that. Weird."

      "Come back to Planet Moon."

      "Is that what it's called?"

      I am meditating in my meditation room in BanYanLand.

      DJ Sabertooth walks in and laughs at me. "What?"

      "Why are you sending your astral body out of your dream body?"

      "I didn't know I was doing that. Weird."

      "Come back to Planet Moon."

      "Is that what it's called?"

      "Well, now that you and Raven and the others have terraformed it. It's brimming with life. It's amazing. The Biodome really is unecessary now, as far as holding life, but it will forever be your great fortress on the Moon. Do you realize this is going to be here forever! I am not going to let you forget next lifetime. I am going to come to you in your dreams in between lifetimes, and the next ones. I am not going to let you forget!" he says, grinning at me.

      He grabs my wrist, and we go flying into the sky. He opens up a portal with the name: Dragons. We are flying as big cats. He is a sabertooth, and I am a black jaguar. In the wormhole, we transform into a golden dragon, and I am a violet dragon.

      We land in a bright green land. Everything looks perfect. The place is brimming with life. I roll around in the grass like a dog. It feels amazing. "What is this place?"

      "Teraluna!" says the voice of a red dragon.

      I look up and see Xaphor descending from the sky.

      He has something in his arm. It’s a baby dragon.

      “You are to train and raise this child, and when it is ready, give him to Hyu in a shared dream. “His name is Xylon. He is an interdimensional being, a real entity. One day he will be an amazing dream guide for you in your next lifetime. Better than even I. You will show him everything you know about dreams, and he will remember, and tell it to you next lifetime. At a certain point, Hyu is going to train him in the way of dragons, for he is a True Dragon. You are a False Dragon as you are also a False God. The fool can be false-anything, and dragons can shapeshift, but you two have different soulds.”

      “Sould?”

      “A sould’ is a certain type of soul. You don’t have the word in your language any more, because your culture forgot about types of souls. Anyway, that’s not what important. What’s important is that you need to view Hyu.” (The way he said view, it had a deeper meaning, but I can’t really translate it, since he was talking telepathically, which is more in images and ideas.)


      “So, Xaphor, why is this important?”

      “Don’t you realize he is just like you? Why else is he walking the same sacred path of the ancient shaman dream warriors? Finding his lost love, his lost dream guide, his lost lovers. Realizing the reality of the dream plane. Actually understanding, and seeing with nine eyes. It’s already past due time. Don’t worry about if he will remember. You have a mission, a purpose for being here, for this place is a parallel universe to the one of Urth. This Teraluna is the twinner of Planet Moon. Teraluna though, is far more ancient in this universe, and does not remember being barren. Now, go see Hyu.”

      I see him is sleeping in a cave, a red dragon, like Xaphor about half a mile away. I teleport to him, and chuff. He yawns in his sleep and rolls over.

      Yuya walks to us. She is really tall right now, about sixty feet.

      “He is having a dream within a dream,” she chuckles. “He always turns into a dragon when he does that.”

      “Why?”

      “I don’t know.”

      Selene appears and looks curiously at Yuya.

      I growl quietly and nose at Hyu. He wakes up. His bright yellow eyes bug out when he sees the three of us.

      “I was dreaming I was back on earth, at school, living my life, and I wake up here? What is a dream and what is not?”

      “Don’t worry about that right now,” I laugh.

      Hyu seems to be content with that answer.

      “I am going to show you the land of dragons,” I say without knowing really why.

      I pat him on the back, and point at a tiny black dot in the sky hiding inside of a cloud. We leap into the air, and our leathery wings billow in a stiff breeze.

      “I breathe fire!” Hyu shouts exultantly while spinning. He breathes fire, and it blows back in his face a little, and he laughs. “What do you breathe?”

      “Ice, water, fire, steam!” I shoot ice bullets, and pour a flood out of my mouth, then fire balls, and a blast of exploding steam. “We can be whatever kind of dragons we want to, brother! Head for the cloud there.”

      Hyu changes colors as he changes into many types of dragons.

      We fly into the cloud, which is apparently shaped like a bowl inside of which is a floating island. On it is a white stone city of dragons. It’s amazingly huge. The closer we get to the island, we realize it is the size of a continent.

      We land on a platform, and there is an old dragon-man with glasses and a book. He tells us to sign in. We use our breath, and burn our names into a book with wooden pages. We write in another language made of spirals and dots mainly, with some slash marks.

      “Welcome to the Land of the Dragons. This continent floats above the planet of Teraluna hidden in a cloud. We are vigilant, ancient, and powerful. We could easily rule Teraluna, but we want the inhabitants to be free. Unfortunately not all are. We want to aid, but the people that live on the surface must learn how to have peace on their own, and fight for their right to be free. To aid too much would be like enlarging the hole of a cocoon that a butterfly is struggling to crawl out of. But, enough of that. We will now show you the our most beautiful paradise we have crafted with our very souls. Much of this is synthetic, but we have one rule: All must be beautiful.”

      We walk out from under some trees and stop. There is a city all around us. It’s made of some beautiful white stone with hints of pinks and yellows. There are vines hanging from the rooftops grown down walls, and vines growing up walls. Plants are growing everywhere. They don’t seem to be manicured at all. Dragons fly back and forth between the dwellings. I then realize this city is carved from the solid rock of the land itself.

      “There is more.”

      We go to a museum, a chemical lab, an electrical lab. (This part of the dream was long, but I don’t have time to write it all.)

      “In our land, we study energy and the way it moves, for all is energy. We look for patterns, and see the cycles in all things. In this way, we are able to intercept some energy, and move it right along seamlessly. We collect ambient electrons from the air, and use them to power whatever we want. It’s so easy.”

      “What’s your name, Sir?”

      “You may call me Scribe.”

      “Aye. Scribe-”

      “Ahem, the True Dragon has a question,” he says, motioning to Hyu which I find mildly annoying. Hyu looks at me, and I shrug my shoulders.

      “How do I find my dragon father?” Hyu asks.

      “You will find him whenever you want. But, you have this look on your face that tells me you are not going to remember this dream right now. Save that mission for a WILD.”

      “Now, False Dragon, ask away.”

      “I forgot was I going to say,” I sulk.

      “Now, stop being a silly child and don’t sulk in the museum. It’s disrespectful.”

      “I-”

      “Sh! Ask.”

      “Um... is this more real that waking life?”

      “Yes, of course it is! What’s the real question?”

      “Can I lose my waking life lucidity?”

      “Well, silly boy, you used to be asleep for a long time! Do you remember? You only really started waking up when you almost died. Actually, you did die, for a second there. Ha ha. You don’t remember. Well, it doesn’t really matter. When you almost went to sleep, it made you begin to become lucid in your waking life more and more. You are on the path to Total Lucidity, but it will take you decades to master, but you can, Nomad. Some people can lose lucidity completely. This is when they become drones and wonder where the past twenty years went when they have a mid-life crisis. This is actually a process of waking up. Some people go back to sleep, others wake up, and begin to really enjoy the dream which is waking life. We are all happy here, for dragons are dreamers. We are the Master of The Dream, the Great Dream which is Dreaming us up right now!”

      He grins, and his face gets bigger, and I am suddenly in some crazy Alex Grey world... .EYES SO MANY EYES... distance... space... points... moving ... lines... energy...

      I explode and implode at the same time.

      I tumble through a wormhole, and land on the Moon with Hyu, and DJ Sabertooth. We stand up, and dust ourselves off.

      “Where are we?”

      “The Green Moon, Planet Moon!” I shout.

      “What it’s all grey...”

      “Alter your perception.”

      We suddenly see Planet Moon, and we are smack in the middle of it. We are surrounded by jungle and waterfalls. There are ziggurats in the distance. I show him to the Biodome. It lets us in, and the AI smiles warmly at Hyu.

      “See, we made this. You can make this on Teraluna, or Planet Moon, anywhere, really, just by using your energy. It’s called dreamscaping. Your dream guide will help you. Anyway, isn’t this great? It’s a shared dream. Are you going to remember?”

      “I don’t think so...”

      “Why not?”

      “Well, what if I faked it? I mean, how will you know?”

      “Just don’t read my DJ until you write down your dreams. Get it?”

      “Well man, I had so many dreams this night. I really don’t want to wake up now to write this down. I am so tired. A little drunk in the other place. Anyway, will you remember this one this time? I promise I will try and remember the next one.”

      “Um... sounds weird... uh, okay.”

      “Oh, I am going to wake up- coughing!”

      He coughs, and disappears.

      He appears for a second, still coughing, “Sorry man!” then is gone.

      Raven appears next to me.

      “What an odd character.”

      “Haha, okay, weirdo. You’re the one that believes in shared dreaming.”

      Raven sticks her tongue out at me, and crosses her eyes.

      “I mean it’s odd how normal he seems.”

      “I know. He’s like a calm little Buddha.”
    11. Lucid at Childhood Home & Portal to Svetlana

      by , 01-27-2011 at 03:50 AM
      a
      Very productive night and a full LD.
      As I have been doing lately, I went to bed reading my old DJs. While reading I discovered a bunch of people in a dream from 1995 that are the same as the group of dream friends I have now! I do not know these people outside the dream world and in fact the last siting was at the enclosure with the short haired girl. I had forgotten this old dream and will be looking for more through the thousands of pages of DJ scribblings.

      Dream 1 : Childhood Home
      Lucid 100%

      I was in my old childhood home's sun-room on a sunny day and the sun was pouring in all golden and radiant. I was amazed at how lucid and clear minded I was. I stepped up to one of the many windows and drew back the yellow lace curtains and was amazed to see this place was my old childhood home! I realized what was happening right away and nudged with my elbow into the person besides me that I thought was my mother (I never looked) "This is a dream! This is not now ours, the Zennusies own it." remarking on the ownership of the house. Then I see the old metal shed in the corner of the yard is gone and there are drag marks across the lawn like someone dragged it out to the garbage in the front yard. To my mom I say "so the shed is gone?" I thought she had moved it. She said nothing and I felt she was confused. I had no time to lose vainly trying to convince dreamers that this is a dream, I had to enjoy! I looked out at the yard and it looked more crappy than I had recalled but yes now I remember it really was this bad. Imagine a grass lawn that had never seen weedkiller or fertilizer in 30 years. "I can see individual blades of grass!" The blade stuck out from its background of dirt, one of many dirt patches. The vividness was every bit on pare with physical reality! I ran to the back door to this sun-room. It was always made fun of for having this crappy door with too many locks but this time I imagined many locks and there they were and I chuckled as I unlocked them all to get out, "click, click, click, click".
      I ran out into the yard and remembered someone saying on DV that they ate grass to increase lucidity, this thought discussed me for a slight millisecond till I realized this is not physical grass it's harmless. I found the blade I was looking at from the window, or close enough, and pulled at it but it was tough to pull up! I gave it the thought to pull out and "pop" it pulled out. I chewed on it and it had some grit like dirt on it and oddly didn't taste like grass but something like weak black licorice! I was in heaven (figuratively!)! Walked to where the shed would have been in the corner of the yard with my eyes closed to feel the dream's senses. I recalled Hyu doing this on Terraluna and gaining lucidity. I concentrated on my breathing in and the taste of the licorice grass and even a slight breeze on my face, I could feel everything; hands, feet in shoes, everything! I was near the shed now, seeing with my mind not my vision, but thought I should not see the shed there or else it may interfere with the particular version of the dream I was in and that may lead to loss of stability. So I turned away from the shed's place and walked out of the yard around the garage. "This is crappier than I remember too" I thought. In the road I looked back at all the houses just as they used to be in my youth. The house right next-door was a perpetual dump and here it was right in front of me in all its pathetic glory, I was excited and yelled in my amazement "That's the crap house! Ha!" I looked at the other houses they were all the same, what a great copy of everything!
      Time was a wasting, I needed to think of something to do, in a LD, fast! I couldn't think of anything, the physical world seemed too strange and too far off, like an imaginary place you are sure exists but can only barely picture. Then something came to me and although I knew it wasn't what I really wanted, I didn't want to waste time being bored lest I lose dream control. "Give me a portal to another dimension." Nothing happened. I had to direct it. I looked down at the road and flicked my hand down at it saying the same thing and a tiny portal appeared. It looked like a black and blue portal about the size of the palm of a hand! Kind of small but this is a dream, it'll do. I continued what I was saying for clarification about the dimension "one that I'll understand." I didn't want to see weird stuff I couldn't even benefit from or stuff so strange I lose dream control.
      I walked over to the little portal and it sucked me in and around in circles. I saw a lot of black and blue swirls. Then I saw a motorcycle just floating in the mix of it all! I was thinking "WTH? Why's that here?"

      Then all of a sudden I am in a doorway to a girls room (the walls are pinkish and the white dresser with mirror is in front of the girls) and the girls in there are hurriedly putting on makeup in the mirror like its a race. I notice one of them but I can't imagine how this scene can have her in it and ever be! The girls then all run out of the room in their race but don't seem to notice me to any degree, I'm sure I am invisible, I remember the feeling from other LDs. I get a good look and yes it is Svetlana! She is Russian, born and raised, how is she in this crazy American home with all these kids? In shock I just call her name "Svetlana??" as if to say "is THAT you?" She stopped in her tacks and turned around! but she didn't look at me at all and instead picked up one of 2 hair clips on the floor. (The ugly green carpet btw was pretty dirty.) She then ran off to catch up to her friends. I figured she had heard me but couldn't recognize me. On one level people can hear you but still ignore you in this state, they are having their dreams too and I am not supposed to be in it. I followed her into the living room. She ran left but I stood to the right at the doorway hiding behind the wall so no one that can't see me bumps into me. There are about 4 other people watching TV (1 adult, 3 kids in sweat pants and shirts and white socks) There is a kitchen to my left with warm moist air coming out like there is a big dinner being made in there and I could feel people in there. So there were maybe 9 people in the house. A chubby little boy about 9 years old ran by and I got a good look but never seen him before.
      The dream quickly collapsed and I was comfortably thrust back into my sleeping body and darkness. I instinctively knew what time it was and it was earlier than I needed to be up but I could write this out now.

      This was a valuable dream so I wrote it down (4 pages) in the dark for 3 pages.

      Post script: If this really was a parallel world I was in, then all I could think was that maybe Svetlana was adopted by an American family and this was her life. I'm not sure why I latched onto her, she was a marginal character in my life and only know her a bit and then only for a month.
      The length of this recounting refers to the LDs detail not the actual length which was at most 5 minutes!
