May 2011 Task of the Month (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was lucid in my room. Maby from a FA but I rarely remember the begining of FA lucids anymore. I thought about taking my bo staff with me this time but changed my mind. I walked down the hallway and thought maby I should find my dream guide or do the task of the month. I should do the task of the month, its easy and I can get it done early. I walked past the mirror and into my family room. I picked up an orange off of the kitchen counter and layed it in the palm of my hand. I concentrated on making it levitate with telekinesis/psychokinesis. It lifted up in the air easier than ever. I floated it around the room and then went outside.

I was supprised to see AndresLD there. I should have tried to confirm a shared dream but instead I told him I just did the basic task of the month. He didn't seem amused so I threw the orange at his head. I then pulled it back to my hand with my mind. I thought that was cool and kept doing it like it was a yo yo. Andres got annoyed at me. I thought it might be fun to have a dream battle with him so I asked him if he wanted to fight. (I think I forgot this part for a second. I remember a fragment of sword fighting but don't remember if it was in this dream. Andres would have trasformed into his Fierce Diety Link form and I would have summoned my master sword.) I remembered that I still needed to do the advanced task and looked up at the moon. (which was in the rong side of the sky like it always is in my dreams.) I told Andres I needed to do that first. I wondered what would happen if I crashed the moon into the earth while I was still standing on it. Before I could try to do it with psychokinesis Andres explaimed that it was easy and lifted up his hands toward the sky. I looked up at the moon and it grew in the sky alarmingly fast! I shouted out for him to stop but before I could the moon went down below the horizon. I expected to feel something like an earthquake and the earth to explode but nothing happened. I wondered why that happened and realized now I wouldnt be able to do the advanced task that night. I yelled at Andres and he flew off. I tried to hold him back with telekinesis/psychokinesis. It held him still for a second but he broke free and flew away. I wondered what I should do now. I flew up into the sky and thought about flying into space but thought there wasn't much of a point without the moon. I suddenly destablized and woke up from my mom coming into my room. I still had an hour left before I had to get up so I went back to sleep hoping for another lucid.

It all starts out slow I can barely fall asleep I don't know why. I have my clock set to wake me up 6 hours from that time even though i know i'll wake up a minute before that happens. I finnaly fall asleep and i have a dream where I'm really small like 3 inches or so and the woman who is like a witch is holding me captive in her house. I do some epic parkour to get from her Bed into the living room she was in the bathroom (i think) when i was trying to escape when i entered the living room I noticed a the window was cracked I pulled off some more epic parkour from a chair to a table to a cabinet and finally the window and i climbed out. When i got outside it looked like i was in some trailer park but the trailers where like 3 stories high and really cool looking. I then noticed I was my normal size and questioned it. After a few moments pondering it I concluded that i was dreaming and kind off whispered it to myself I got really happy and ran through the trailer park like " I gotta find my dream guide" but once I passed a few epic trailers i woke up because it was 4 minutes from my alarm going off. Then i stayed up for a little bit and when to wild where i only fell asleep I find that if I try and WILD and it fails then i don't have intresting dreams or don't remember them. Well better luck next time

Messing with a Garden table and kicking the moon (WBTB)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

After a while awake, I went back to bed thinking over ToTM. It was already the 4th in the morning and I was not done yet. I also recalled that it was time to dream with Dreamer and based on my time, she was sleeping, so I could catch her. I fell asleep pretty fast.

I had a FA in my bed. In fact, it felt like if I never felt asleep. However, I had no vision at all. I focused on my surroundings and on my own body. I felt my body in bed like when I am awake. I could also hear my ears buzzing, but I considered is was normal because I wore ear plugs. I got out of bed, slowly, still without vision. I decided to jump and see if I levitated. Most of the times it works, but I just jumped. However, I made an odd noise when stepping the floor. I decided to jump again, and it was the exact same noise, so I wasn't sure. I took off my sleep glasses and walked to my living room. Everything was normal, even my cats behaved normal. I was not satisfied so I looked at my hands. They looked and felt normal, but when I counted my fingers, I counted eight, in addition, they were super thin.

I turned lucid and felt it was funny the resistance my mind was opposing this time, and how I overcame it. I looked right away in the sky, but it was day and I saw no moon. After a short flight to make my dream stable, I landed on a field. I started to look for Dreamer, but I could not see her. I saw instead a lot of zebras walking. I felt like some psychokinesis so I pointed at the zebras and taunted them. The zebras started to walk towards me, all of them, they were around eight or nine. I found it funny but I knew it was no psychokinesis. My dream was not stable enough and it had no quality, so I felt like more flying was appropriate. I flew at a hight speed, I could feel the wind in my face and the heat (not much) of the Sun on my skin. While I was flying, I lost vision only on my left eye. I focused on how to dream feels on my body when I recovered vision.

Suddenly, the quality of the dream dropped dramatically. I lost vision on both eyes and I knew that was going to wake me up. I kept feeling the wind on my face, so I anchored myself to that feeling. I also focused on Dreamer and our field, to take profit of the imaginary lost. Blackness was all I could see. I tried to use conventional dream recovery abilities. I knew that those never worker for me, as I was used to do my own recovery techniques since I was a kid. I started to spin, but I did not feel I was fast enough and it had no success. I also tried to rub my hands as last resort, but I recalled one lucid that I tried, and just ended into a faster awakening. My hands felt like if I had plastic gloves on, so I took them off and kept rubbing my hands. A few seconds of complete nothingness of feeling and seeing happened, until I started to see some sun light. I though I was awakening and what I took previously, were my sleep glasses. However, I started to feel wind on my skin, so I realized I was not in bed indeed. I could see a big field, made out entirely of grass. I saw mountains around me. As the imaginery recovered completely, Dreamer was in front of me and told me, "Finally Mister! It was about time! I missed you!" She hugged me. I told her the both of us have been very busy and we did not focus as much.

Dreamer grabbed my hand and we started to fly. She told me to go and mess up with the moon. We had a few minutes (or felt like it) of flight, however, I recalled that I needed to do psychokinesis first. We landed in a high end neighborhood. Dreamer told me that she wanted to speak with some guy and make a joke on him. Dreamer told the guy about something on his house, so this guy entered his house. When he was going, I saw a white garden table.







I opened my palm facing the table and channeled energy the same way I do in waking for energy healing and PSI Balls. The table started to shake and it soon levitated. I rose the table about eleven feet (four meters) and kept it floating right over the door of that guy. As he came back from the building, he grabbed the table without surprise and placed it around his neck. Then he walked to the left site of the patio and said something to Dreamer. I started to focus on the table again and it started to move, but the guy grabbed it hard and did not move. I focused on the feet of the guy and did the same hand movement. The guy (with the table) started to levitate and freaked out. Dreamer laughed and suddenly, grabbed my left right and started to fly saying, "Moon time!"

I was curious how my mind was going to handle not one, but two flying to the moon, holding hands. I knew Dreamer was dreaming, but I was not sure if we were sharing the dream. We got pretty fast to the moon. Dreamer told me we could kick the moon and set it right into the Earth. However, we were on the actual moon, so it was going to be hard. I told Dreamer, "You are good in growing your size! Let's do that" Suddenly, we were on Space, and the Earth was about four times our size. The moon, was three times as big as a basketball, but it still looked like the moon. I told Dreamer we could kick the moon. I also told her I actualy suggested that over the boards. I kicked the moon with my left foot and Dreamer with her right foot. The moon started to move at a fast speed towards the Earth. Suddenly, it became a fireball entering the atmosphere of the Earth. A few seconds later, the Earth itself started to crumble and exploded.

After it was done, Dreamer told to just enjoy our mutual company and fly together, so we did, but shortly, I woke up.

This started out as a typical random dream: I was in some sort of complex there was people every where in groups of 4-5 i was walking through it all casually passing by. Afterwards I stopped in the alley-way between two buildings and felt a feeling of "Awakening" I'm pretty sure it was my conciousness at that point i had said to myself I am dreaming like my usual DILDs I had recently read a guide on finding my dreamguide and tried to find it. I called out DO I HAVE A DREAM GUIDE a female voice replied "Yes, You do" I turned around to find a girl "Warping in" I looked at her and said are you my dreamguide she nodded with a faint yes motioning me to follow her she started to run away I was really happy at that point following behind her We were on a bridge far from the complex when i had stopped her to ask her name and if she was really my dream guide to which she replied "Strawberries" At that point I knew that it was a random dream character and I think my Dreamguide was toying with me. after the stupid dream character replied i had gotten angry and woken up at which point i couldn't get back to sleep so that ruined my night well maybe tonight ill have better luck

Welcome to anyone who may be reading this. I am creating this dream journal now so I can use it later. I have had around 7 lucid dreams so far many more to come I hope To give a little background on myself I have always loved dreams and always wanted to have them all the time as a kid i would have weird episodic reccuring dreams (it wasnt like the exact same dream but more a continuation each night like episodes in a series) the would always be so fun i remeber sleeping within my dreams sometimes, that brings me to something else i have always remembered my dreams in vivid detail since i can remember with no practice whatsoever i think thats different compared to most so i thought it was worth mentioning. Ive also been trying to wild for the past months and cant seem to do it yet. So this will be my dream journal and the reason im putting one on here is to let others around the forums get ideas or enjoy it i dont really know yet well we will find out

Me and some guy were standing on a sidewalk. We were both armed with rifles. There was a gate near us so we walked up to it. Then started shooting at people that were next to the gate. There was a gun that he had that let him create barriers so I grabbed it from him and covered him. Some guy popped out just like I expected one would. So I shot the barrier directly at him and he was cut in two. But then someone else jumped out when I wasn't so tense. Going after my partner which easily took that guy down. I gave my partner a weapon of mine and grabbed another. When we were both ready to move on we proceeded through the gate. There was a large open field with some trees here and there. There were many ninjas there such as Sakura who was riding some sort of floating thing upside down. They were heading toward a very large park. So I concentrated my chakra to my feet and ran across water just to try it out. Then I applied more chakra to my feet and flew very high. I could see everything from up there. The park was a battlefield. There was a huge explosion every once and a while. I swooped around and landed near the action. I killed an enemy troop and wielded his weapon. It was a fully automatic rifle. I ran in a hurry across water and wasn't doing as good as last time because I wasn't concentrating on keeping myself up. I made it into the building and started to shoot people left and right. After that battle I wasn't lucid anymore.

Lucidity: 8/10

I became lucid and started to talk to this girl, I wanted to have sex with her, but she said "no." She said that she was also lucid. I was very excited. Then, after that. I was holding a camera, walking around listening to other people's conversations. Then all of a sudden I was in a lab where they use a divice that makes you lucid dream. For some reason, some guy was upset that I was there. But let me proceed with the lucid dreaming thing anyways. Then I was walking in a large room with Zach. While we were I was thinking about my body for some reason while Zach was looking a bushes. Then I was vs. some guy, I believe it was Saskae from Naruto. I was slower than him, he was gaining speed each corner. I was suprised. Then I found out that I was in someone else's dream. Then I was trying to send a post card or something to myself. I didn't understand why. But some people wanted my flash drive for some reason. Then I was in a large building and someone grabbed my flash drive from me and started tearing it up. It contained information of lucid dreaming. Then I had the flash drive again for some reason and was blocking a door from somebody. Someone set up a timer for me so I would wake up. It said 17:03 and counting. I really wanted to wake up for some reason. I had a false awakening. I thought I was on my computer and was distributing the data from the flash drive onto the computer. I asked my dad if they could stop it and he said "no." It was about 70GB or more. But it worked, I could view pictures and videos as I'd like. But then I was dreaming again and desired some pussy. And for some reason I couldn't find a girl to fuck. Then I woke up. Trying to DEILD but I believe failed.

My soccer team shirt changes! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in the Pata Negra store, ready for the Madrid - Barcelona soccer match. I wore my Barcelona team shirt. I talked to my boss about the restaurant being ridiculously crowded with employees.

I entered the walking-fridge and a female employee took my cell and hided it somewhere. I was looking for the employee who hided it and suddenly, realized I wore the Madrid team shit. I was wondering why I had that shirt on, instead of mine. I took it off.

I went outside, the place was huge, was different from reality. I met with Hanna, a co-worker from a job I had in the past. She escorted me to the fridge to find my cell. She kissed me.

I turned lucid realizing she was not my wife. My dream quality was extremely low and I realized it was almost time to wake up. While the dream was getting obliterated, I tried to project, but before I even attempted, I woke up.

My microwave is spoiled! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a FA at home. I recalled I needed to write down some dreams, so I went to my kitchen table. I opened the microwave's door to get light when it started to work, but with no light. I started to take pieces away. I found rubble and junk inside, in addition of grease and spoiled food.

I explained my mom what was going on with the microwave and she told me she would take care of it. I was at my parent's home and my parents were at the sofa. My mom told me I needed to talk to the doctor about Lucid Dreaming.

I told my mom there was no need to. She told me I needed to be more grounded on the physical plane. I told her it was the worse plane of all, that I rather enjoyed my stay and the Astral or Etheric planes.

I had a FA in my room. I turned lucid and tried to exit home. I was already floating, so I went outside and took a flight. It was dark out and I flew over the neighborhood. I wanted to Astral Project, but lost the dream.

I own the moon (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a FA and I found myself at work. I was having a staff reunion and the store was closed and totally dark. However, I suddenly noticed there were three customers. I told the customers I was not lucid during the dream.

I had another FA and realized I was dreaming. I decided to fly to make my dream stable. I flew to the moon and it was awfully small. I could see how dark was the moon, and also found some source of light being generated.

I also saw three more moons in the sky and other one in front of me. I also found myself on the Great Canyon.

I focused in projecting, but I lost consciousness (or lucidity)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I've been having dreams lately, but I just haven't had the time to write them down. I'm going to try and get better about it.

Most of this dream has to do with a green colored cell phone. It starts out (from what I can remember) with me on a cruise ship. My family and I realize that Katy Perry is there, so we go to the main gym of the ship and wait for her. She comes in and looks like what I imagined. She then starts to talk to people about how there are a lot of people who helped her get to where she is now. She starts to introduce all of the people (the people she introduces are people who were once friends of mine, but aren't any more. I don't seem to notice in the dream).

The dream skips around from there, and I'm walking to a class with some friends. One of them asks why I could possibly need a new phone. I tell them that my old one was crap- and it was just time. I'm then sitting down with a friend in the lunch look (it looks like the real lunch room, not fake lunch rooms that have been in my dreams). Me and the friend I was talking to just keep talking about the whole phone thing. I don't really remember much of what we were saying though.

I then get up and leave to go to class. I'm talking with another one of my friends about Graphic Design and what we are going to be doing that day. After a while of walking with him, I realize that I'm going to the wrong class. I ask him what period it is and he tells me. I turn around and start running. (I don't remember what class he said).

All of the sudden I wake up. It's strange though, I'm just standing in the middle of a white space. The white is blinding and I can't see anything but the same white color. I do a reality check and realize that this is a dream and I just had an FA. I immediately wake up after I realize I'm dreaming.

I wake up again and have a FA, I'm in my bed this time and everything looks normal. I'm so excited I grab my laptop and log onto DV to change the amount of lucid's I have.

Then I wake up for real. I wish I had dream control and when I realize I'm dreaming, I don't wake up right then.

I was Spider-Man swinging like no tommorow. I wanted to have different powers because I didn't feel like swinging. But then I thought I was sleeping in class so I woke myself up and I was in class but was a false awakening.

Out of the many dreams I had last night this is all I can Remember in great detail.



I had a dream about being younger although knowing I was older in a playground with a lot of other kids.

I was apparently taking 2nd grade school classes again and was at recess, I walked around the park, it was covered in wet grass and puddles, it was a little chilly. But not too much to worry about. There were colorful slides and structures on the playground so I went towards one of the yellowish blue forts and decided to play on it. but three big kids were in my way and said they wouldnt let me on and that I would never get passed them, but I did, one by one my stubborness pushed them aside and I got to the top of the slide fort, they were angry so they started to chase me . I ran all around and hid behind slides. as I was hiding I noticed my school building, it was familiar in a way I could not explain. My teacher and some kids were playing in a large puddle it was deeper than most of the kids.I looked over and to my horror the three older kids found me and were running towards me, I noticed a HUGE slide easily taller than three school buildings combined and started to climb it knowing that it would be the best place to secure myself in, also aware that I could kick any of them down if they chose to start climbing, halfway up, however them pulled on my legs and threw me down, then they started wailing on me. I lost conciousness.



2. (LUCID) I was in dark room with a couple of candle lights illuminating the room, there were two portals on either sides of the walls I fought to stay lucid using every stabilization trick I knew, but soon after wandering around the candles the dream ended.



(Lucid) After I awoke from my first lucid I decided to fall back asleep and after about 10 mins of Sp, Large gusts of wind pulled my from my bed and threw me into a new room. It was a very brightly colored house. Very clean and nice. The walls were a bright feiry orange with blue to the sides. I looked around the rooms and saw my mom cleaning like usual. I went back into my room and saw my little brother playing video games (also like usual) I felt like the dream was trying to trick me with things I was comfortable with, so that I would just accept reality. But I knew there was something different to this place. A whole nother vibe to it. I walked outside and down the stairs around me were some quaint shops and a large cathedral. The whole town was vibrant with color, but very empty. I wandered around the streets in hope of finding someone new and interesting but i found no one. I woke up soon after ( or atleast I thought I did)

I awoke in the middle of my room telling my big brother about the dreams I had just had (later noting that I had no recollection of ever telling my brother that, because he had left for california the night before, which meant that I was in a false awakening and therefore still in a dream.) Tricked by my mind, I lost lucidity and continued with the dream plot.



(Fragment)

The next thing I knew I was in a large field joining in on a huge sport that most of my classes were playing. I saw alot of kids from my school and teachers as coaches. I joined in my World Civ 2 teachers team and grabbed a lights blue jersey. The game was played with a round ball and the object of the game was to tackle anyone who had the ball for a point. I played a couple rounds of the game until it ended and socialized with some of the friends I knew how I normally would.

I woke up.

"Out to Clean Up the Streets"

I was on the streets of a suburban area. I have a vague recollection of a few different confrontations, within this setting. First, there was a gang of thugs who kept harassing my crowd. Then, at some point later, there were bomber planes swooping in and dropping ordinance all over the neighborhood area. I became lucid, among all these occurrences, and started messing around with telekinesis, just to be sure that this was all a dream; raising my hand to the sky and controlling the paths of some of these bomber jets with my mind.

Sometime while I was lucid, there was another scenario involving a run-in with thugs. I was with a few friends, and a car pulled into the area, machine gun fire spraying from within. The bullets screamed through the area where we had been standing, and I could feel them tearing into my lower body. It hurt a little, but not enough to take me down. They just left me kind of numb, fighting off the convincing atmosphere, and trying to hold onto my realization that none of this was really happening. I remember running out from behind a hiding spot - which I'd taken up instinctively - and trying to chase them down, being peppered with more bullets as the car sped away. Ultimately, the whole experience was too intense and unclear for me to completely take control and catch up to them. I trailed off to one side, falling behind, still feeling the lingering sensation of the imaginary bullets that had shredded through my imaginary body. I held my hands up in front of me, trying to hold onto the dream, and bringing everything back into an extreme level of clarity while looking at my features.

Time went by, and I was still lucid, having a conversation with some of the DC's I was hanging out with, earlier. I started levitating small objects with my mind, to try to prove to them that I was dreaming. We were in someone's house, and sitting around in the living room and I was getting a little bored, trying to think of something to do. Finally, I said that I was going to go after those guys that did the drive-by, again. One of these DC's was the most vocal about his skepticism of the whole lucidity thing. He said that I was stupid to even try going after the thugs, because he apparently thought I was going to die. I argued with him for a moment, telling him that he was acting just like all of the other oblivious DC's. I tried to explain to him all of the weird occurrences; the gang activity; the bombings; etc. It was all classic dream content. He wasn't buying it. Oh well. The last thing I remember about this moment was picking up one of the DC's little kids, to play with him for a minute, before I left.

Soon, I was back out on the street. I was looking around for the car that did the drive-by, and plotting out my course of action. I wanted to try something new, so instead of using telekinesis as a weapon, or looking for another weapon to take on, I decided to morph my arm into one...a rocket launcher. I had morphed my arm into a blade before, but never any complex machinery. It was almost effortless. I held my arm in front of me, passively visualizing a textbook transformation. My arm began to change and shift; smoothly and organically, in some places, but in sections and compartments, in others. Within a matter of seconds, I was wielding a red and yellow rocket launcher that looked like it was straight out of Unreal Tournament. The visual detail was just incredible. It looked completely unique, yet almost too incredibly intricate to have been made up, on the spot. Since my arm was the weapon, there was no trigger, so I pretty much 'willed' myself to shoot the weapon - and firing it was awesome. With one shot, a swarm of missiles scurried out of the barrel(s), screaming wildly out to a car that was parked on the street. All 3 or 4 missiles converged on the spot and blew the car to shit, lighting up the darkened streets and alleyways around me. I never ended up going after the thugs. I just walked up and down the street for a while, popping off rounds from this bad ass weapon.

Eventually, I had found another group of DCs, and I was showing off more lucid tricks to them. At one point, I drew a door on the wall with a marker or pencil, then I opened the door, revealing another door, inside. I then opened this new door, and found a slender, wooden beam which I slid out of the wall. It turned out to be a few feet long. After that, I stuck my arm in the hole it left behind, and continued pulling stuff out. Can't remember everything that I pulled out of the wall, though.

Fragment
I was having a 'superspeed' foot-race, with family and friends. We were all crouched at the starting line, and everyone kept trying to cheat; jumping into false-starts and whatnot. I was able to get everyone to calm down just a little bit, but the start of the race was still ugly as hell; everyone stutter-stepping into their run, and no one really starting at the same time.

The actual race was amazing, though. We were tearing across the terrain like Sonic the Hedgehog; running so fast that, even when we got out to the ocean, we just kept on running over the top of the water. The whole thing actually had kind of a Mario-Kart feel to it. In fact, I think one of the characters was actually Mario, at one point. I believe it might have been Todd, but I'm not sure. All I know is that he was on my heels, the entire race.

I was reading The Law of Nines in the commons. A guy sitting next to me reached over and turned the page as I was about to finish it. I figured he had been reading along and wanted to continue without me. With a brief glance in his direction, I turned back to the previous page. I made a point of taking a slow drink from my glass of water to show him that I wasn’t going to speed read for his satisfaction. He turned the page again. This time, I glared at him. It was Absence. As usual, his hair was white, but it was shorter. He had his own copy of The Law of Nines, but he was much further in the book than me. I made sure my glass was almost empty before spilling the water all over his copy of the book.

I set the glass down and rose from my chair. There was no need to worry about what he might do to my book. I was only dreaming, after all. I left my backpack on the floor. I took the quickest path outside – straight back to a garden. I realized I still had the book and dropped it right there. Bringing it would just get in my way. Once I was outside, I looked up at the open sky. Smiling, I took flight. The walls narrowed near the roof of the building, so I had to turn my body to fit through. To my surprise, I looked over my shoulder and saw a library on top of the campus center. Weird. I flew further up, kicking off walls to better navigate what quickly became a maze of black metal. It looked like another bizarre architecture project. I wanted to find a portal to the Monolith Gardens. If I was lucky, I might even meet up with WritersCube! I saw an old furnace inside the third floor, but I realized making that into a portal wasn’t going to be as easy as finding a preexisting one. I was sure a portal would turn up if I kept searching.

The fourth floor was a GameStop. I saw the sun rising on a TV and focused my attention on that. I remotely paused the video when the sun was clear of the horizon. It began to glow white. Since I proved to myself in my last lucid dream that I could easily pass through glass quite easily, I ran headfirst into the TV screen. The sun portal widened as I approached and engulfed me. I fell through it with no more sensation than an internal shift in my weight. I pictured huge trees in that brief moment between entering the portal and appearing on the other side. Instead of reaching the Monolith Gardens, I found myself back at the open window through which I entered the fourth floor. I hit the ground running and picked up still more speed. This time, as I fell through the glowing, pulsating sun portal again, I summoned a vivid picture of the Monolith Gardens in my mind. It still didn’t take me there; it just dumped me into emptiness. I frowned.

I waited for the dream to come back, but after a while, I was sure I was awake in bed. I went back to sleep, intending to do better next time.
