    1. 11/15/2010 - "Arachnoception"

      by , 11-15-2010 at 04:30 PM (Oneironaut Zero: Dreamwalker Chronicles)
      Got a lucid dream for my birthday. Just wish it would have been a more pleasant one. Usually, I will count false awakenings as separate dreams, but since this is all so continuous, and had such a "dreams within dreams" feeling, I will count it as one.



      11/15/2010
      "Arachnoception"


      (I had just gotten a copy of Inception, and decided to watch it, last night, while going to bed, to try to induce something Inception-related. I got more than I bargained for...)

      I can barely remember the early parts of this dream, but I was driving through DeLand, with Josh. We were taking the road that passes the landfill, on the way back over to my side of town. For some reason, we had to take a detour through the landfill. While driving through it, we apparently stumbled onto some kind of criminal(?) element, and were dragged out of the car, at gunpoint. We were taken inside, and the only thing I remember here, is that I was in what I think was a bathroom, and I got attacked by some creature. It was about the size of a rat, and I believe its body wasn't actually organic. It seemed to be something of a shell, made out of what I think was a child's toy. From within the object, spider-leg-like tendrils protruded, which served as both legs and powerful pincers. It reminded me a lot of the creeping coffins, from Lords of Shadow (which I have been playing, lately). I had to fight like hell, to keep this thing off of me, but eventually got away from it. Not much longer, after that, the cops showed up and raided the compound, starting a huge firefight. In the fray, we were able to escape, and I vaguely remember a small dog being killed, in the fight.

      The next thing I knew, I was waking up, in my bed. It was still night out, and Inception was still playing, on my computer. After a moment, I stepped out of bed, and I was immediately ambushed by the "creeping toy" creature, from the dream. It came from out of nowhere, and ran up my leg, biting and scratching with its pincher/legs. This thing fought with all the ferocity of a rabid squirrel, and I could not get it off of me. My leg was getting mangled by the little creature, and it hurt like Hell.

      Once again, though, I woke up in my bed. The pest from the dream was nowhere in sight. However, this time, I got out of bed and was met with a dull pain in my leg. Switching on the light, I saw that my leg had bruises in like 6 different places, and it was throbbing. My muscles were progressively tightening, and I could instantly tell that there was venom running through it. I was so confused, though. I knew it had to have been a dream. Right? Hobbling out of bed, I made my way over to my mom's side of the house, surprised to see that she was up this early. My leg was growing worse, when I showed her, dark black spots showing up, and the skin tightening, to where you could start to see the shapes of the tendons. She kind of shrugged it off, and said it would be ok if I just didn't mess with it. More bewildered about the whole thing, than anything else, I just walked back to my room and went back to bed.

      And, once again, I awoke in my bed. The pain in my leg was gone, as was any sign of the bruises. So, naturally, I assumed that it had all just been a dream. But, again, just as I stepped out of bed, I was attacked by the creature from the "previous dream." It scurried up through my robe, and around my back. It never bit me, this time, but its steps were like thousands of thick, fingernail jabs, themselves, scrambling all around the upper part of my body. I was able to get a hold of the thing and grab its "legs," holding them open so that they couldn't form the pincers that they had, before. This thing was strong, like a tiny bear trap, but I held the tendrils open, again making my way to show it to my mom. By this time, I didn't know WTF was going on, and I just wanted to know that I wasn't going crazy. On my way out of my room, I passed my pet dog...oblivious to the fact that I don't actually have a pet dog. I did, however, think that it was strange that I recognized the dog as the little dog who'd gotten killed, in the "first dream." Unfortunately, I already had my hands full, and I didn't stop long enough to realize this as a dream sign. Instead, I took the creature over to my mom's room to show her. She looked down at my hands, then back up at me, then back down at my hands. She said..."that's just dead skin," with a confused look of concern on her face. I looked down, and saw that she was right. I was just holding a handful of what looked like gator hide.

      By this time, I thought I'd completely lost my mind. Apparently, my mom did, too. She cocked an eyebrow at me and said "Uhh...I have some pills or something...if you need them?" implying that she was afraid I'd completely cracked. Puzzled beyond all hope, I just turned around and walked back to my room. I kept thinking about Inception, and maybe that the idea had somehow been planted into my mind that this spider-thing existed, when it really didn't. I just felt really defeated by my lack of understanding of the whole thing, and just went back to sleep.

      The next thing I knew, it was the middle of the day. I was talkin with some guys I was unfamiliar with, who my mom had let into the house. Throughout the time they were here, we'd gotten into smoking and they informed me that they sold. We pretty much just hung around the house for a while, and I tried telling them about the dreams I'd been having lately, about the crazy little monster thing. Nobody seemed all that interested, though. Later, those guys and I were heading out somewhere. We'd gotten into the car, when one of them said he left something inside the house, tossing a huge bag of weed into the car, before walking back to get whatever it was. I kept yelling at him to hurry up, because I didn't want to be just sitting here, with the huge sack in the car. He was just taking his sweet time, and it was annoying the hell out of me.

      Of course, just as I was beginning to suspect there might be cops nearby, I heard "WOOP-WOOP," a siren barking at us from behind. I actually can't remember if I was driving or not, but we sped off, down the road, the cops chasing us. We were driving in a slick sports car, and just hauling ass, but they were catching up. (Been playing a bit of Grand Theft Auto, also. Haha.) The guy next to me started freaking out, and dumping all kinds of contraband out the window - everything from weed to small bags of cocaine, which I didn't even know were in the car. In a quick, 3rd-person view, I saw the white powder blowing all over the people on the sides of the road. It was actually pretty hilarious. Suddenly, back in first-person, I got an idea. We pulled over, and I waited for the cops to come within a stone's-throw from our tail, before chucking a bag of coke at their windshield, at the last moment. It blotted out most of the glass, and they ended up swerving to miss our car, and crashing into some nearby pedestrians. Then, for the first time, after all of this chaos, I realized just how absurd all of this actually was. I realized that this had to be a dream.

      The other guy in the car was still freaking out, telling me that we had to get the hell out of here. I just laughed and told him to relax, stepping over to the crashed police SUV. Gathering all my strength, I reached a fist up over my head and swung it downward, trying to destroy the engine block, like I'd done to other cars, while lucid. This time, though, I was only able to dent the hood. It was a little more superhuman than waking life, but not what I expected. I tried a few more times, swinging heavy punches at the hood and grille, but I couldn't get anymore damage than about what a baseball bat might have done. Needless to say, I wasn't very happy with this. I was determined, though. I kept thinking that the cops might try to shoot me, through the windshield, but I was already prepared to either dodge the bullets, or just let them hit me. Thinking that there had to be some other way to get through to the engine, the idea just kind of struck me: A light-saber! I had never created one, while lucid, so I figured that this would be a good time to try. Holding my hands up, beside me, as if gripping a sword, I tried to materialize the weapon out of thin air, imaging it growing to length. Nothing happened, though. The dream was very vivid, and I was having a hard time controlling it.

      As if by my cue, the cop in the passenger seat held up a blue light-saber of his own, grinning behind the powder-covered windshield. Now even more determined to have one, I made a motion as if it was already in my hand, stabbing directly at the grille, while trying hard to visualize the weapon coming into existence. Finally, I saw the orange glow. The tip of the blazing saber burned into the grill like it was paper, eating through the metal and sinking further into the engine block. I gave a quick tug of my arms, drawing the blade sideways and widening the hole, completely putting the truck out of commission. My accomplice and I then hopped back in the car and prepared to take off again, but instead, I simply woke up, for real.


      After a few reality checks - which I should have done, the first few times I 'woke up' - I got up and started jotting notes down.

      (This felt like a B6-enhanced dream - very vivid and chaotic - but I didn't take any B6 before bed. Most likely, it was the Reese's Cups I ate, late last night. It would have been nice to just have had a bad-ass lucid, but all that shit with the spider-creature-thing just made the whole thing unpleasant. It was still early as hell, but I didn't bother going back to sleep, after this one.)
    2. Inception Elevator Dream

      by , 11-08-2010 at 02:55 PM
      This LD was pretty short, but worthy of mentioning nonetheless.

      The first thing I remember is standing in an elevator. I started to feel a weird presence, followed by a floating sensation. As I looked around, I noticed that I was floating up and down in the elevator. At this point I realised that I must be dreaming. I took a moment to take in the vividness of the dream. It's the first time I have actually realised how real LDs can feel.

      Pumped to get out into the dream world and explore, I exited the elevator.. but all I saw was blackness. Amongst this nothingness - in front of me, however, was an old market stand occupied by an elderly African-American woman. Strangely, I asked her where the beach was (why didn't I ask about the moon instead?!). She said nothing; just simply pointed back towards the elevator I had just exited.

      A little confused, I decided to follow her directions and headed back to the elevator. It went up a few levels, and as the sliding doors opened, I saw a park right next to a beach. Excited, I ran onto the sand like a lunatic, randomly talking to groups of people on the beach. Unfortunately, I don't remember any details after this, as I must have lost lucidity.

    3. Lucid in a night setting

      by , 10-24-2010 at 03:43 AM
      My latest lucid dream was at night. I found it quite interesting because it was the first dream I can ever recall that was in a night time setting. I remember there were street lights that were cylinder shape and they almost seemed detached from the poles. I remember being fascinated by how beautiful they were. The way I confirmed that I was in a dream was by counting my fingers. I counted 8 fingers on my right hand and then started counting my left hand as if that was normal but I stopped myself and thought wait a minute 8 fingers, I'm dreaming. When I first heard this technique I was worried about using it because I thought it would kind of freak me out but I actually found quite humorous. Of course the first thing I did was start flying but this part seems cloudy and I seem to remember that I could leave the area I was in for some strange reason.

      I also saw a small truck driving and I flag it down because I wanted to talk to the driver but when he rolled down his window to ask me what I wanted I kind of freak out and got scared so I told I thought he was someone else. After that I thought to myself that I need to be careful or I'll turn my dream characters against me. I obviously got this from watching Inception.

      I felt myself starting to wake up which had been my biggest problem in Lucid dreams in the past, I would get excited and feel like I was literally sucked up into the sky and out of the dream. This time I use the spin technique to stay in the dream and it work really well. The spin itself wasn't at all what I thought it would be though. I thought it would be like spinning in circles on the ground like you do in waking life but instead when I closed my eyes and started to spin it was one of the most amazing moments I have ever experienced. The spinning motion was more like spinning in water but a much more free feeling, almost like being in outer space and there was these amazing colors like a laser show dancing all around me. During the spin I kept reminding myself that I was dreaming because I read you can come out lucidity from doing this. What's funny is when I did stop I was mad because I thought I had woke up. I was in the exact same surroundings but still thought I had woke up. So I again counted my finger and there were 6 fingers on my right hand this time. Unfortunately I did wake up after this. But even though it was short it was the most control I have had in a lucid dream so far and it was the longest I have been able to stay lucid in so far. Progress is a good thing.
    4. 10/22/2010 KFC & Inception

      by , 10-23-2010 at 06:22 AM
      Okay tonight I had two memorable dreams. I was trying to WILD before falling asleep, but screwed up and fell asleep.

      Dream 1 'KFC'
      Non Lucid, Fragment
      I was working super late at KFC, cleaning up the restaurant, pretty much sweeping and mopping for what felt like hours. [I don't work there anymore, but I did for a few years] The only strange part was that my old manager, present employees, and gradeschool friends were also there. We pretty much just walked around, swept, and talked the whole time.

      Dream 2 'Inception'
      Non Lucid
      [I watched Inception 2 weeks ago, and was trying to WILD before bed, which is probably what brought on such a strange dream] Okay, a little backstory behind this dream. Apparently in this dream, there are 8 levels of consiousness, each of which are destroyed after a set period. If the inhabitants of the planet don't move on to the next level, they die [or something] The destruction of each level was prophesied so we had some warning. [It had something to do with the position of planets and stars in the galaxy... or something] I arrived in some sort of conference with all the inhabitants (maybe 200 - 300 ppl) in an outdoor amphitheater of sorts. There were charts on the wall depicting the position of the stars, like nebulae clusters. The speaker was talking about how we all needed to travel to the next deeper phase [I sort of remember him saying dream, but not sure] Maybe it was some kind of matrix realm, Dunno. Anyway, We were being reminded that the time was near and if we didn't go deeper, we would die. When traveling to the next phase, one must go down this humongous inflatable slide (Maybe 150ft tall), at the same time as they descend planes consciously. Nobody was quite sure on how to travel to the next phase, and people were going down the slide, and just flying off the end, and getting injured because it was so tall. I was nervous about going down, and didn't want to go until I was sure I knew how to do it. I started asking around, and me this DC who was a compilation of several of my friends, and we began searching and asking around for clues on how to descend. Eventually we came up with some ideas, and just as we were discussing them, we approached the slide to see my dad at the top. I was worried for him because others went down and were injured because they didn't do it right, and didn't descend to the deeper phase. Well he hopped on the slide and started rocketing down, but when he got near the bottom there was this swirl of color and light [Like using the 'New-U' stations on Borderlands] and he was gone. I got really excited and ran up to the ladder, though I was still nervous. I hopped on, and started down. I can't remember exactly what I did, but whatever I did worked, and there was this huge swirl of color and light, and I woke up.

      This was my first night at attempting to write in a dream journal and recalling my dreams. I'll continue to do so in the future, but it's getting late, and I'm sleepy. I'm gonna try another WILD tonight, and maybe dream about zombies or something. G'night all!
    5. Random Glimpses

      by , 09-19-2010 at 05:05 PM (Dreams of the Maeniac)
      [B]17.09.10[/B]
      [SIZE="1"]I don't remember in which order these glimpses were in, so it'll just be like this. I actually think the two first were the two last.
      [/SIZE]
      [LIST][*]You're Waiting for a Train, but You Already Missed it. Shit.[/LIST]
      [COLOR="royalblue"]I'm standing on a really big open space, yet it's underground and really dark. Like a really big trainstation with almost no light. I'm standing on the middle of the platform in a group of 5-7 or so people, but I only recognize 2 of them. One is a guy from my old school, N, and the other is a girl from my old school, M. A train drives past us.
      I get an idea related to jumping in front of the train, and I make a joke about it, [/COLOR](Can't remember, but I think I was reminded of the train in Inception, and was joking that jumping in front of the train would be like a kick so we would wake up, but I didn't make my joke so clear that everyone would know that I had it from Inception.)[COLOR="royalblue"] then I imitate the Inception sound.
      Only M gets the reference and jokes back that now we should check if we are dreaming, but she just laughs and it doesn't seem like she's actually doing any RC.
      I, being reminded of the fact that I not only like Inception, but also Lucid Dreaming, get all hyped and go all "Yeah! We [I]do[/I] have to check!" so I stop and look around and try to remember how I got here. Lo and behold, I couldn't figure out how the hell I got there. I'm a little surprised but mostly amused, [/COLOR](Still seeing the whole thing as a joke)[COLOR="royalblue"] I tell M that I tried and that it must be a dream, but still only jokingly. Go me.[/COLOR]

      [LIST][*] ORE WO DARE DA TO OMOTTEIRU!![/LIST]
      [COLOR="royalblue"]Sitting somewhere, watching a movie. But right now I'm in the movie. It's a Harry Potter movie, there's slaves sitting around, hooded, perhaps. It's a long room with stairs at the end, and perhaps some big containers with valves, looks like they're made of copper. Harry comes in and runs towards the staircase, where Ron is, maybe he rescues Ron and the slaves? Anyways, they run towards the exit, and the roof above where they just stood and more hooded people fall down. The slaves and what I assume was Death Eaters all look the same. They come out and now they're in a big courtyard. A black figure in the air hovers sideways down towards them, it looks like one of those wraiths from Oblivion, but it's actually Voldemort. He's wielding a really really long sword. When he reaches Harry and Ron, he starts to give out an evil speech, but there's just one problem, he's speaking japanese. I think I catch a few words here and there, but now I'm aware that I'm sitting in a couch and watching it as a movie. Me and my granddad are watching the movie, and we're both wondering why he's speaking japanese. One of my friends come out of a door, he was watching it too, but he didn't hear any japanese. It was like we were sitting in a room closer to the screen, and the room behind us had a big window, and in there, Voldemort spoke in english, but out here he spoke japanese. Very weird.[/COLOR]

      - [COLOR="royalblue"]I'm standing on a chair, looking at a fan. There's dust and spiders everywhere, I sort of hold the fan in place because it will, for some reason, be really bad if it stops working. Surprise, it stops working.[/COLOR]
      - [COLOR="royalblue"]I'm on a path that leads down to a beach. A bunch of people from my class is sitting around a table. I drop a pen, and C kicks it away as a joke. I go over to get it, further down and closer to the beach.[/COLOR]
      - [COLOR="royalblue"]I'm in the water with H and an unknown guy. One of them dives and tries to grab my leg and pretend they're a shark. I spot a real shark behind him so I panic and kick him until he comes up. We swim to some rocks where we try to get up and try not to get killed. H is being attacked.[/COLOR]

    6. September 11, 2010

      by , 09-12-2010 at 12:11 AM (Requiem's DJ)
      i think my recall hasn't been very good for awhile now because i don't challenge myself to try and remember anymore than the basic. i need to work on recall.

      A Team Mission (non-lucid)

      I am in an elevator with two other gentlemen. They are formally dressed and carrying guns. They say something about how we are actually inside somebody. I don't know, it didn't make much sense. I am also carrying a gun.

      The elevator bell dings and we move out. Location is a nice sort of hotel. The whole this is very Inception like.



      There is a gun fight with some rather fat cops. We easily kill them. MY ally has some sort of bot he calls into action that helps shoot them down.

      We proceed into a lower level warehouse. The place is flooded with a strong current. Strong enough to sweep you away. I make it across by jumping in front of boxes where the current is slowed. End.

      Drugz (non-lucid)

      I am at a baseball game with my family and some business men in suits. I take something but realize the game is about to end. I don't want anyone to see me, my face is swollen. An 'obvious' sign I am on something. I walk down to another field.

      The dream becomes extraordinarily vivid as I sit and mediate. I felt calm and aware, relaxed but not lucid. Or maybe I was lucid.

      That dissipated once my family caught up to me. "Why is your face so swollen?" m asks.

      I don't remember much else aside. I almost completely forgot this even happened.
    7. My Inception Dream

      by , 08-24-2010 at 10:42 AM
      Last week on a date I saw Inception, it was okay. Apart from the fact that is massacres all of the standardized dream lore, and ends in a way that screen writing 101 states never to end a movie... But here is the dream:

      I was in a large theater, similar to where the actors and director were interviewed about the film, for those who happened to see some of the promo stuff. I was actually cast in the "movie" Inception. I was extremely excited to be in my first movie, and have it be about dreaming... I remember thinking, "they cut my part down to a small speaking role near the end, but at least I made it into a feature film!"

      At some point I had the thought, but how can I be in a movie that is already out? I must be in the sequel is what! (A dream about being in a movie that is in a dream.)
    8. Inception "Totems"

      by , 08-19-2010 at 08:21 AM
      I came across a discussion about this, and I thought I'd put down some of my ideas for good "totems". First off, a "totem" is a device or personal affect that only the owner thoroughly understands that is used as a means of separating the dream world from the real one. I've used "totems" for years as a for of reality checking, only I referred to them as charms

      #1 - Rosary
      One I used myself was a rosary with a few specifics...
      • rose scented beads
      • a small hole drilled into every third bead
      • a pewter crucifix with a sterling silver dove for a hail holy queen bead
      • the 10th bead of the 4th decade was missing
      • the dove was attached with gold chain links - all the others were silver
      • INRI was inscribed upside-down on the cross


      #2 Matchbox Car
      Another one I used myself with fair success was a 1976 Metal Canary yellow jeep wrangler car with an angel wings decal on the hood.
      • It sat on it's axel wrong so it wobbled
      • it drifted to one side when pushed
      • had a specific model number on the bottom


      #3 Weighted Turtle
      The third one I used was a pewter turtle with a jade shell.
      • I was the only one who knew how it was weighted
      • Only I knew about the small heart etched on it's underside


      #4 Spoon
      • Ever seen a waitress check her reflection in a spoon? The concave side turns the reflection upside-down - if it's right-side-up, you're dreaming!


      #5 Marble
      • Flatten one edge of a marble. Be careful to do it not so it's obvious at plain sight, but that when the marble is gently rolled it will come to rest on it's own accord.
    9. Dream about inception

      by , 08-15-2010 at 08:23 AM (Kjarva's dream journal)
      well I went to the cinema to see inception last night and it seemed to take a starring role in my dreams.

      I don't remember a great deal of detail the dreams of last night. I was watching the fight in the hall of the hotel when the gravity has shifted and then something changed.I can only describe it as that all of a sudden everything changed from a dreamlike quality to being real. It's hard to explain, for about 60 seconds or so it became real in my head, my awareness had changed or something but the most frustrating thing is I don't remember anything else.

      Does that 1 minute window mean I was lucid but just don't remember, or just a really weird quality I've never before had in my dreams?

    10. Inception

      by , 08-09-2010 at 02:19 AM (MoSh's DJ: The Best Dream Journal in The Universe.)
      ★★★★

      weird

      I remember being in a dream somewhere when i fell through a mirror. I wound up in a kitchen with my dad and he was telling me what a lazy guy i am for not doing dishes. For some reason i fell on the floor and my face was being held against the carpet.

      B the psychic

      i'm in a cave somewhere. B is a strange creature. She has bat wings and her eyes are emanating amber light.

      "Are you B?" I ask.

      "I am her collective consciousness from all of her lifetimes."

      "Wow," I said. "hey i wanted you to help me clarify a few things from our reading. I.."

      "Silence!." She roared as some weird plasma shot out of her eyes. "My waking self has had enough on her plate for one day. leave her alone for a while." She then ignored me. Her mouth opened and little flash cards started spraying out of her mouth, they all flew around and went through a few dozen tiny portals.


      "What are you doing?" I asked.

      "There's too much negativity and pettiness in the world. I'm sending out seeds of positivity and love to everyone's subconscious to balance out the evil in the world. Now no more questions young man.... SHOOO!" one of the cards hits me and throws me through a portal

      Missing time


      Inception


      I was sitting on the couch with Asuka watching tv. Something about dream ping pong? I saw a white flash and Q appeared.

      "I told you I would be back!" he announced. He snapped his fingers and had a bouquet of flowers which he handed to asuka. She thanked him. He then pulled a tissue paper out of nowhere and began rubbing his eyes with it. "I'm sorry I Abandoned you" he said in a semi sarcastic sob. "Back then I was just a new guide and totally unprepared for the responsibility of guiding someone. But all that has changed now. I know you've recently found out some important information and will make radical changes in your life very soon. It was your guides who approached me actually, They said Me of all the guides you have am the one who you find most easiest to channel. And they begged me to return"

      vvictor's head came through a portal. "We didn't beg you. we simply asked" He said and retracted his head back through the portal. Q made a half laugh and sounded like he was going to say something witty, but then he paused and said something well.

      "Heh... well, The important thing now is that I'm back you help you out. Especially after hearing this news I decided I wouldn't miss out on all the fun" He then sat down on the couch and put his hand on my shoulder. "the first job i have for you is well... a matter of importance to you. You now know there is a waking life Version of Asuka, and you may meet her by next year. And really it's not fair that you know she exists and now she has no idea that you exist". i got up.

      "Hey wait..." I said. "I did have a random thought before bed about using inception to do that... But I discarded it as a silly fantasy and discarded it."

      "Well, it's not such a silly idea after all." he said. Asuka was staring at him. "It's rather fitting the night after you see the movie inception, that we put it's ideas to use."

      "Is that really the right thing to do?" I asked. "It seems rather creepy"

      Q reminded me that me and her are soulmates so anything that would speed up the process of us meeting couldn't be that bad of an idea. He then conjured an image of B the psychic and she said "you two have already met in astral, you have similar rough pasts." Q closed the image and stated that it seems even the psychic seems to agree.

      "I remember the astral thing" I said. "that night I asked asuka before bed if there was a waking version of her, then i had a dream about us floating in some space and I found her and we..." I scratched my head and didn't finish the sentence.


      "yes," Asuka said. "I was only allowed to let you visit her once. but I have done other things too that I know you remember."

      "those dreams of pictures? viewing a school photo and you pointing tot he asian girl in the class?" Asuka nodded yes.

      "Anyway" Q said. "We've not much time right now. The Inception Team is already set up and they are waiting for you to do your part in it." I agreed. Q snapped his fingers.

      I then found myself in a high building, Standing near a team of a few people with guns pointed out windows. I recognized a few from the movie. Dom Cobb, and others. One Was there I recognised as Serenity? what was she doing here?

      "Serenity?" I said. "Why are you here?"

      She said she was Serenity's Twinner from an alternate dimension. In this dimension she works as a dream architect for this inception team. "No offense" I said to the team. "But, after watching that movie I saw how your team didn't know too much about dream control". Cobb went over to me and said that recently they've been improving their technology to implement better dream control. He then pulled out a spray bottle and sprayed my glasses. Everything went blurry for a second and then cleared.

      "This substance" Cobb Explained, "Enables the team to see through walls and other objects. It allows us to detect exactly what we are up against" I Walked towards a far wall. I could indeed see through the wall and down below I saw a few dozen dream characters trying to enter the building. As I was looking cobb said "No offense, but you don't seem very impressive yourself."

      I flew upwards while the team stared at me. I turned into a green Serpent with wings and a cobra head and flew through a window. I blew green fire on the army of DCs. After they were all dead I flew back into the window. Everyone was speechless and had shocked looks on their faces.

      serenity rolled her eyes and handed me a paper. on it was a drawing of a maze house. "We are on the second level of the dream." She said. "your soulmate is alseep in another building on this level. She is safe and is being monitored by another of our team. I Designed the third level. All you have to do is enter the third level and find her. She is surrounded by her subconsious DCs. We turned her against these DCs on this level. Now on the third level, you have to rescue her to implant the idea that You actually exist in the waking world. She may not remember for months but the idea will be implanted for her to begin looking for you. The design is much like her inner world house. only i have re arranged it so that there are no doors. There are portals hidden in each room that should help you navigate the dream. There is a great chance you will forget all of this, so We have set up computer consoles in each room displaying this information. You must hurry and find her as quick as you can because her subconcious will fight back soon to get us out of the dream"

      They layed me down on a bed and injected me with something. I fell asleep.

      Finding her

      I had a FA in some room. There were no walls. I became semi lucid. There was something i must do... I neede to change rooms but I couldn't remember how. I found a computer on the edge of the bed. On the screen i was logged onto MM and looking at a new Entry to Serenity's DJ. I began reading it but it wasn't all clear. something about her having a lucid dream about being in a house and being able to teleport to each room? As I read I got pulled into the the text of the dream and found myself in a similar room.

      There were men DCs around me
      . They seemed to ignore me. I asked them how to get out of this room? They shrugged. I walked around the room a bit wondering what to do. I neared a small garbage can.. I suddenly became dizzy and found myself teleported to another room. It was similar but it was empty. I went back to the space i came from and teleported into the other room. Now the Dcs seemed more agitated that I was back. There was a woman in a corner, she was looking around confused and a bit scared.

      "I know it!" I said. "You're keeping me from finding her." They all turned towards me to try to fight. I teleported to one and punched him a bunch of times. He fell. "too easy" I said and teleported to all the other ones killing them all. with The last guy, I turned into a werewolf and ripped his head off pretty much. The woman was looking at me stunned.


      "I won't kill you." I said. I wasn't exactly sure who she was but i kissed her on instinct. She didn't push me away at all but kissed back. I then began kissing her neck but all of a sudden my vision went black. I was about to wake up. I focused on my physical sensations of kissing more. it seemed to prolong the dream for a minute but I woke up.


      Back at the second level

      I was Back at the building in the second level but I wasn't lucid. The woman appeared out of nowhere. I went towards the walls. I realized I could see through them. I then Remembered something was done to my glasses that enabled me to see through walls.

      "What is going on here?" The woman asked. Someone said she was in a dream and she could wake up by dying or something. The woman didn't like the sound of that so she ran for a door. I followed her, she didn't seem to mind me coming along with her. We went down a strange staircase surrounded by crystal glass windows. We went out onto the street. An army of hundreds of DCs was running for us! She looked shocked a bit. Then she morphed. She was now a red snake with wings and a cobra head. She took off into the sky. I turned into a naga and followed her through a portal.

      Re united

      Me and the woman were both snakes flying through endless portals and vortices. We coiled around one another and kissed. We remembered ourselves in past lives and alternate dimensions. In one we are unicorns running along a rainbow. In others we are opposite genders, gay and lesbians... weird. We spin really fast and form a tornado around us.

      We land in a familiar dreamscape in the Naga Kingdom. A snake version of Gawn is sitting on a throne. he is smiling ear to ear and hissing at us as we approach him.

    11. #120. Mansions of Silence

      by , 08-04-2010 at 06:07 AM (Things to Run Away From Really Fast)
      Behold, my massive HvZ/Star Wars/Fable/White Collar/Inception/Supernatural/Good Omens crossover dream. Includes characters from Inception, but no spoilers.

      08/01/10

      My brother and I are sneaking into our cousins' house, playing a game of what amounts to Humans vs. Zombies, but with more humans trying to "kill" each other.

      My aunt catches us in the house. Her face is red and she attempts to loom over us threateningly. "You're trespassing, you know."

      "I don't think that's against the rules." Ben says, considering.

      "But we are sorry. Truly, sincerely sorry," I lie. "Really. We should go."

      ***



      I look around. I'm in a mountainous region surrounded by pillars of ice and concrete bunkers. I'm close to the top of a mountain, on a snowy path.

      I pull out my phone and look at it. If Hazel's speed dial "8", I could probably reach my brother the same way. I press "1".

      The line picks up.

      "Hey, Ben. What the hell happened to you?"

      "Kkkshhk...separated...zombies...meet up...later."

      The line goes dead.

      I shrug, knowing that Ben can take care of himself. I look out over the snowy plains, at once clouded and sunny. It looks like a video game environment. Paths leading to certain places, all of the corners rounded and indistinct... If I didn't know any better, I'd say I was on Hoth.

      "Hands in the air," says a voice, crackling and metallic.

      I turn around slowly, pasting a smile onto my face.

      ***



      Leaning against the concrete wall of the control room, I remain nonchalant as two of the guards keep their weapons trained on me. I was surprised when I realized that they weren't Stormtroopers, and weren't Rebels either. The group that I've let myself be captured by are dark-siders of a different sort, and I haven't yet figured out who they're working for.

      The human male in the corner is force sensitive, but not trained. He has short black hair, plain dark clothing, and is probably in his late teens. He's either looking at me with distrust or he's sulking over the pot of cold coffee on the counter. I haven't decided.

      The apparent leader is a female Zabrak. Her dark hair is cut in a short bob, and she's going through my personal effects. Finally, she picks up my dual lightsabers in each hand. I shift my weight to my other foot. One of the guards hisses a breath and clutches at his weapon tightly.

      "Twitchy, twitchy." I say, eyeing the terrified guard. "Someone could get hurt."

      "I'd be careful, Jedi," the leader hisses at me, still holding my lightsabers. "We have you at a disadvantage."

      "Do you really?" I ask, amused. I motion with my hand. On the other side of the room, the coffee pours upward into the air, forming an amorphous blob and flying into the face of the sulking teenager. The boy starts to curse, but the woman in front of me barely seems to notice.

      "There's very little difference between the Jedi and the Sith."

      "You're telling me." I say, "One of those lightsabers is red, you know."

      A blood-curdling roar is unleashed from outside. The bunker shakes from its very foundations. Outside in the darkness, I can sense the fury of the beast, aimed at the creatures encroaching on its territory. Us.

      "I wonder what happened to the Imperials that built this station." I say quietly, meeting the eyes of the leader.

      My dual sabers are in my hands and light up in the next instant, glowing red and blue (and I'm my female Exile character from KOTOR 2). The woman raises her hands. I watch as the blades are folded up into sheets of blunt metal, and look at the woman mournfully.

      "You are no fun at all," I say, yanking a pistol from a guard across the room. "Try not to die."

      I see a flash of red through the blinding snowstorm. I aim my pistol and shoot three times before it disappears. I hear a roar through the storm, and can barely see the outline of the monster's arms raised into the air before I'm dashing across the arena, dodging the cracks that appear in the ground.

      ***

      "Coffee?" I ask brightly, pushing a cup towards the teenager. He scowls but takes the cup.

      "That was a mean trick," he says, "I like coffee."

      "No, messing with someone's lightsaber, that's a mean trick." I pause, "The coffee was just funny."

      He's still angry, but he seems to be hiding a smile as well.

      "Master Kenobi. In my study, you will meet me," says a voice over my comlink.

      "Of course, Master Yoda."

      Yoda shows me over to a glass case filled with crystals and gemstones. He motions me to look at them. I find myself drawn to a black piece of rock the size of my palm, smooth and glassy, with waves rippling over the surface. I stare at it, intrigued, and look back at Yoda for permission.



      He nods.

      I feel for the orange piece of Carnelian in my left pocket, reassured when it's still there. Turning my attention back to the shelf, I pick up the rock carefully, touching it only with my fingertips, and turn it to lie flat on my palm.

      I breathe in, allowing the power in the stone to ground me. I feel...

      "There's a darkness to this," I say, as if I'm in a trance. "It has a history with death, it's beautiful, it feels cool, the temperature, I mean. I can feel it echoing through me... ignacious, born of fire and now... cold, complete, rational -"

      "Back on the shelf, you should put it," says Yoda sharply.

      I set the rock back on the shelf, drawing a shaky breath. I want to pick up the rock again, feel for the green crystal that I know should be there, break it in two and give the other half to the person who should have it... Stop it, you're supposed to be Obi-Wan.

      "See, you do, the power inherent in these crystals." Yoda says, "Yours, one of them will be, should you take on an apprentice."

      I smile, leaning against one of the white walls. I'd wondered why the force-sensitive teenager felt so familiar. Amon?

      I shake myself. "We have a mission," I say reprovingly, "Are you trying to distract me, Master Yoda?"

      "Hmph. Dream of it, I wouldn't."

      ***





      I take on the guise of Neal Caffrey, all smiles and warm handshakes as we bluff our way into Saito's mansion. Ariadne and Scott Summers back me up, along with four men and women in suits that follow us demurely.

      Our whole group is surrounded by Saito's bodyguards, and my companions are feeling intimidated, grouping together until they're nearly touching elbows. I pretend not to notice, and focus on the conversation with Saito as he shows us around his mansion.

      We stop by the swimming pool. We're more or less openly flirting right now, and I'm drawing on the Neal Caffrey personality in order to distance myself and appear more outgoing. My form is flickering now, male to female and back again, through half a dozen personalities before settling back on Neal. No one seems to notice.

      I fall into the water, pleased to feel the shock of cold on my skin. It feels wonderful, and I let myself sigh in pleasure before I force myself to concentrate. I climb the steps up onto the deck, my clothes holding none of the moisture.

      Saito is yelling at his guard for jostling me, and apologizes. I tell him not to worry, but that I need to talk to my doctor, as I may have broken one of my ribs. The man points out the change rooms on the other side of the pool.

      "Doctor?" I say, holding out an elbow for Ariadne. She looks surprised, but catches herself and nods. She threads her arm through mine and we walk towards the change rooms.

      "Doctor?" she hisses.

      "It's improv, Ariadne." I say, smiling. "Just go with it."

      We round the corner and Ariadne steps away, brushing at her arm. I flirt with her as she touches my temples, exposing the wiring there.

      "I need to upload the schematics to your mind," I tell her, "So that I can stay behind while you get Xavier the information."

      "And why is it you're staying behind?" She asks, skeptical.

      "There's something bigger going on here," I say quietly. "I need to convince Saito I'm on his side. You get the others out, and I'll figure out what's going on."

      Ariadne steps back, nodding reluctantly.

      I decide to give Cyclops the information, since his visor will work as a direct transference point into his temples. (What?) A quick shock, and he's ready to head back home.

      ***

      "Not so fast," says Saito.

      We're standing outside in a courtyard, surrounded by enemies. The DCs in business suits are entirely useless, and for some reason, I have to keep them alive. Guards have automatic weapons trained on us, and I'm practically staring down one of the barrels as I raise my hands slowly, ready to talk my way out of this. Ariadne shoots me a look, clearly worried. Cyclops is ready to start a fight.

      Saito is overconfident. I can use that, but I need to get the others away first. I need Yoda and Xavier to owe me a favour, dammit, and that isn't going to happen if I get their people killed.

      Bright white light explodes from the far end of the courtyard, and a shockwave knocks the guards to the ground and disarms them. Not limited by human sight, I swing around to face the four pillars of light materializing on the ground before us. One of the pillars is wreathed in red flames that fan outward, scorching the earth around it.

      The light coalesces into four human figures, three of them standing in a ring behind their leader.

      He is never going to let me live this down.

      "Castiel." I greet him, but the angel is already barking orders to the other three, sending them into the fray to grab my people and transport them back to the compound. Ariadne catches my eye as she disappears, and I can see all of the questions written across her face.

      Until the only ones left standing are me, Saito, and Castiel. I let my false face fall away, and I turn to say something to Saito.

      The dream fades.

      Mansions of Silence. Scare Factor: 3.

      Looks like Castiel and I are 1:1 for rescues.

    12. Inception Kind Of.

      by , 07-30-2010 at 06:11 PM
      7/30/2010

      I had a dream last night that was based off the movie Inception that I had seen a few days ago. How it starts out is kind of foggy. For some reason I have this giant rocket don't ask me why and I'm flying it to different parts of the city. Then I find our that a russian agency is gong to fire a missile at it. So I land at this building and these people tell me that want to make me some high religious figure. I don't realize I'm dreaming so I think it's real. Any ways I go to do it but then I realize that the missile will hit the building or they will come after the people in the building because I'm there.

      At this point it gets kind of wild the Inception part kicks In I realize that I'm in a dream but I am dream so I don't realize that. So we go out side where I meet this guy fully armed he tells me to hop into his car so we get in and he says we need to get rid of it. So we drive down the street crash into the wall of the ally but then the car starts to roll backwards. It rolls back out the the ally and almost gets hit by another car. By this time we have drawn to much attention.

      In Inception when you draw to much attention the persons subconscious try's to boot you out of the dream by killing you.

      We get into a new car and start moving ass. I grab the ar-15 that was sitting in the front seat and start taking out the dream projections running after us wanting to rip us limb from limb. After clip goes buy I start to reload and then we run into a huge problem the dreamer has dream security armed dream projections that are there to protect the dreamers secrets.

      There are several other people in the car the woman next to me screams SHIFTERS!!! I look out the window across the street and see a man change into a completely different person and start shooting at us when I would shoot back he would disappear and reappear as another projection down the street. I keep them off the car for a long time as we race threw the streets constantly unloading out the back and side windows.

      We finally lose them for a few minuets and we come up to an intersection one leads to a tunnel the other one is a road but it's blocked by shifters so we follow the tunnel to a large building . We get on an elevator. It was a trap, they know were in the elevator and there clawing at the door they kill the woman and the armed guy. I'm out of ammo, I used my last five shots on people trying to come from the door. I hit the 5 th floor button and the elevator doors close and it starts going up. I then hit the emergency stop button and me and this other fat kid try to think of away out.

      We see a window with a ledge and I smash it out. We start walking along it then drop down to the the grass it wasn't high. Then they all see us it's over they capture the kid and tie him up they hold me down and thats when I wake up.
    13. Inception

      by , 07-19-2010 at 10:58 AM
      I fell asleep for 11 hours last night and had about three to five dreams. The night before I watched the movie Inception. I dream almost every night but last night I asked myself, am I dreaming and I knew I was because I could fly away from my own body and saw myself standing in my own dream. I even felt like I was dreaming in my own dream because there were so much complications, places and people. I hardly remember the specifics.
      That is the reason I'm starting this dream journal for the first time and researching into lucid dreams.

    14. The Nazi Resistance

      17.07.2010
      The Nazi Resistance (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      In the dream I have invited a friend I will refer to as G to come with us to France or something on vacation. We arive at a fancy hotel and check in and everything and then eat lunch at Carl's Jr. We are waiting for our train through the snow and mountains to somewhere. It is realy snowy now and everything is white. Even our clothes. G and I are messing around with out noticing everyone board the train. The train leaves. we freak out and try and catch up with the train on foot. Through the snow. We slip down off the tracks and off the mountain and are on the ice of a pond. We get off it and climb up another large snow covered mountain. There we see in the distance buildings. We want to go to them because the might be able to help us. We and going to them when suddenly we see a sign that says there are Nazis around here and to watch out. A sniper bullet misses us and slams into the ground. We take cover. The building we were going to is similar to the snowy part in Inception because I watched that yestarday. Suddenly I we both have sniper rifles and ear pieces to talk. I take out as many gaurds as I can. and rool into cover right befor one sniper takes a shot. G and I get sepparated as I move right and he moves left both of us taking out gaurds and snipers and telling eachother where to shoot and when a gaurd is about to attack us. There is one right behind G and I say watch out and shoot it befor he got G. We basicly shoot all the gaurds and go on top of the roof. I pull out my phone and say we should call the police so they can know about these neo Nazis and so we can get back with the train. I ask him what was that French 911 again? oh ya 458(I don't know where that came from, a false memory). We get away from the base making sure to zig zag incase of enemy fire and find ourselvs at the hotel again. My family is there and we ride the escalator up with them. They ask us how we where not even looking worried. We tell them we defeated a Nazi millitary base and my dad says I hate the resistance and everyone laughs like we are on some cheasy tv show and I wake up

      The resistance is an inside joke between me and my friend. It realy dosn't make much sense in this context but idk its a dream.
