    1. LD w/exhaustion, visited Chichen Itza (as described in International Oneironaut Project), met people

      by , 12-29-2011 at 04:47 PM (Hypatia's Dream Journal)
      I was at a theater or opera house where costumes used in past plays were being sold. One item I recognized as a gown from the opera Turandot - I tried it on with the mask from The Fall and posed dramatically.



      Around this time I became lucid. I immediately started to fly and felt the dream fade away. To counter this, I came back to the ground and started by spinning in place, since the dream was starting to fade. This stabilized everything succesfully.

      Then, I wanted to practice what I'd read in the DV forums - that getting control over a dream is about assuming you can do something rather than questioning whether or not you had the ability. I practiced by making fire shoot out of my fingers. The first two times I struggled, but then practiced assuming it would happen. Then I was able to do it. I went from lighting my finger on fire to lighting my hand on fire, with mostly success.

      Satisfied with the fire experiment, I wondered what I should do now that I was lucid. Sex came to mind, and I looked around at the people around me. Lots were beautiful women, so I chose one and started to caress her. But, I wasn't really feeling it. I should have sex with someone I actually know, I thought. I saw a friend in the distance, approached him, and kissed him. He reminded me of another time we'd done this, in RL rather than a dream, and I was mortified by the embarrassing memory (note: false memory, I'd never been with this person in RL).

      Not feeling into the whole sex thing, and started to wonder what I should do next. Hey, I should go to Chichen Itza, just like the IOSDP mentions. I don't believe in shared dreaming, but trying their challenge sounded like a good next step. I visualized Chichen Itza, and a few seconds later I was at its base, gazing up at it. The sides were too curvy, so I stared at them until they were straight. I noticed a fence around the pyramid and noted how strange it was my subconcsious put it there. Now I'm at Chichen Itza, I thought, so I should probably meet the people here and try to remember them when I wake. There were about 10-15 people standing with me, so I went around to them to ask their names and remember their faces. There were four blonde women of varying bodytypes, and I remember one man with brown hair, a green barret, and a slightly pudgy figure. Another male was tall and had tousled brown hair - he looked only 17 or 18, and I thought he seemed like a student. I tried hard to remember names - even asked people to put nametags on - but the names kept changing and I had trouble remembering. One person was named Enzo or Anzo, I think. Another was Cho.
      I woke up shortly after.

      Note: Haven't written here lately due to travel and holiday busyness. The night of the above LD I was exhausted from travel - tried sleeping on my back with eyes closed for 30 seconds, then gave up and rested on my stomach and was asleep in seconds.

    2. 24th Shared Dreaming Attempt - Vesterguard's Dream

      Vesterguard's Dream

      non-lucid - Notes - lucid

      28-08-11 I walk into Drew's room and he is playing computer games. He has 12 hours off and I ask him if he intends to spend all of those playing computer games. I sort of want him to come along, but he doesn't want to do anything but play.

      I think he is there with his girlfriend, but she isn't going to be there.


      I am in eastern Europe walking up to a gold course. The weather is sunny and we are walking uphill.

      Some of the family friends are there. I am going to play golf, but I know already that I don't meet the requirements to go on the full course, but will have to settle for the par 3 course. The full course looks like it is located in a farmland zone.

      I go to play golf with my dad, but it is a really weird par 3 course. It can't actually be described as a par 3 at all.

      First of all the shots has to be fired from inside a room on a floor above the course. I can't find my way into this room so the way I shoot the first couple of shots is by reaching in behind a grass curtain and popping out the ball, which results in comparatively horrible shots compared to the people who are hitting the balls with clubs from behind the wall.

      I see my dad in there and ask how to get in, and he swiftly directs me. On the way in I notice these scoreboards that proclaim I have 55 (or 53) shots per hole, which is utter ridiculous.

      Inside I can't even hit the balls and I have to kneel down and reach under some wooden box to get out the ball, which counts as a shot and a new ball appear. My shot is shown on a TV screen and a guide tells me that it is too soon to attempt putting.


      Following Andy Belflour through a couple of attempts at solving a puzzle in a burning house. It starts with him shooting a cat/rat to obtain a key to the door that will lead him to the second floor. Don't know what happens after, but there is a woman commenting his lack of skills at the scenario.


      We are in a military squad and we are chasing a predator (from the movies). A few of the guys fall prey to him.

      We are in a scenario that seems a mixture of a construction site and muddy jungle, though the mud seems made from tire tracks.

      At one point I observe the predator turning invisible and start targeting people with the signature three dots. Some of the people with me might actually turn invisible as well.

      Back at base there is a message from Atras. It explains that we have a new vehicle available on the mission.

      Immediately after this the dream jumps to showing the predator pursuing a female member of our squad. They are both on motor cycles and she can't shake him. However she activates this machine in the middle of the site that has an arm that starts spinning around. On it's way around it picks up either another vehicle or container and as it swings around the woman ducks under it, but the predator aint that lucky and smashes into it head first.

      This may be the vehicle Atras was talking about.


      Reading DV forum threads. Mancon explains that his reasons for joining IOSDP is that he believes it in his heart that shared dreaming is possible and is looking for experiential confirmation as there is no recognised scientific support or even possible explanations yet (there are a few, though they are ousted from the mainstream community).

      In another thread someone is questioning Nomad why he couldn't get into, I believe you call it ivy league universities. And asks if he has a criminal record or something.

      He replies that he couldn't because of behvor (the spelling was also wrong in the dream, hence I have replicated it here ^^).

      Notes: The reason I have joined IOSDP is exactly as posted by Mancon in my dream, and I have no clue if Nomad has gone to university or not, so sorry for dragging your guys into my head like this ^^. On a positive note, this is the first time IOSDP members figure in my dreams.


      In the beginning of the night I keep waking up and falling into very similar dreams. These dreams consists of protecting the spirit of Ayahuasca from misunderstanding and abuse.

      One of these representations of her is a rather large woman. I keep thinking to myself how awesome it would be to actually meet her without taking the vine of souls (though I also want to try that)


      Very short Lucid.

      I see the dream manifest around me and I want to give it a bit of time to stabilise.

      I am standing in a doorway and the scenery is forming around me, the light indicates daytime. There is a yellow building outside and a lot of people on the streets. I walk outside looking around.

      I am gonna try a new way of getting to Chichén Itza this night. I want to try and summon a UFO to take me there, but it is too early for it, it will wreck the dream if I try it now I sense.

      So I keep watching the scenery, there is a brown(ish) building with a curved rooftop and it is actually rather tall. I am trying to calm down, which is very hard this time because I feel truly amazing. Like I am floating, but it is different to how I normally feel when flying. Think the best way of describing the feeling is like floating on a cloud of love.


      The dream fades, but I am left with the floating-love sensation in my bed, so it aint all bad.
