The Legend of Zelda, Asking for a present and trampling over New York as King Kong. (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

A C C O M P L I S H E D!!!! Last ToTY and both ToTM December!!!

Sometimes I cannot believe my subconscious how it helps me! Dream Incubation works like a charm... pulled the Advanced II in a very easy way! And did some others too! Wohooo. Task of the Year done in less than a month an a half... just amazing.

I was in some weird house with people I did not know anything about. The house was very big, but even though from the inside looked like a house, it was an apartment. All the walls were gray, like made out of concrete without any painting. All the furniture looked kind of old and with a lot of dust. I was playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess... And those of you have played, you know that Link transformed into a wolf in several events of the game... sure this was not an arctic wolf... just a weird type of wolf. I realized I was dreaming, because I did not know the place where I was at and because I beat that game years ago. I looked at my hands and they looked pretty big, plus the fact that my thumb was like a feet away from my Index finger, and my Index, was wavy. I stood up flinging away the ps3 controller but realized that I had half of one of the task done. I first visualized the game scenario to be around me instead of in the tv (did this in the past already, and if I am not mistaken, this was in other ToTM December, lol) I found myself into the game, but the game scenario changed, it was all full of snow, I could not even see a fragment of green on the trees. Link (either normal and wolf form) was gone, but the Twilight princess was still there, looking at me (for those who you do now know, she both rode link as a wolf and had something to transform him into a wolf if I recall well) I asked her to please transform me into an Artic Wolf, not the regular one. I heard her odd metallic laugh and she hit me with a stone until all I could see was the snow. My dream started to fade fast and I started to run, looking up in the sky, but I felt weird. I realized she successfully turned me into an artic wolf.

I saw a bush full of snow and I decided to hide inside of it, until I was completely camouflaged. I saw a weird looking orc (hey, it is still a pray...) with a wooden sword... I jumped on him and started biting him until it banished. It actually banished instead of just dying and/or living a body. Advanced II done.

I now wanted to go back home and keep working on the tasks, so I closed my eyes a few times (not during 10 seconds and neither wanted to try, that is an almost sure waking up... not for me) until I was back home, as a human, but I was confused and my dream faded.

I had a false awakening in bed, it looked like my bedroom, but I knew I was not in my house. Which helped me to turn lucid again. My wife was still in bed and I went to the living room. I started to look into some drawers for a cigar. I do not smoke cigars, but I felt I needed to do something with one, until I heard my wife moving out from bed and going to the bathroom. I recalled the basic task of asking for a gift. I ran to my wife and told her, "Can you give me a Christmas gift please?" She smiled at me and said, "Sure." She went to the living room and spawned a bag out of nowhere. She pulled three small alarm clocks. She said that those three were my gift. She smiled at me and said, "Look, it is 1:32 am" I knew in waking life it was much later, but whatever. I also sang a Christmas Carol. as I thought it was another of the basic tasks as well...

With both ToTM done, I focused on the last task of the Year. I was going to leave my house, and as I was leaving, my dream started to fade really quick to the point of almost awakening. I pulled off my best stabilization technique. Grabbing something from the Dream World and focusing on it. I grabbed onto the staircase handrail. It was metallic and very cold, lucky me! I started to see the dream again, until the dream quality went great again. As I exited the building, there was a doorman who said, "Sir, grab your free coffee!" I turned back and replied, "No need, I am sleeping." The doorman looked at me like if I was nuts. I took of for a small flight to make the dream quality increase.

I started to walk down the street and I was focusing on teleporting to New York. As I kept walking, I saw snow and turned right on a street and saw a ton of huge buildings. I was next to a random DC who apparently, was my friend. She said to me, "Look, the Empire State Building, and it is not destroyed!" It made sense to me in the moment and I grabbed it and started to climb it. I grew up in size like 10 times. My arms were as wide as the building itself, but I was still in human form. As I climbed the building, I started to roar and make monkey noises. After a while climbing, my arms started to become thick and hairy. Suddenly, my arms were covered in dark brown hair and so my entire body and kept transforming until I was an ape... and since I was giant, well, I was King Kong. I kept climbing until I reached the top. The very top of the Empire State Building was not bigger than my hand, and I started to roar even harder. There was a small speaker on the empire state building, and a very annoying intense alarm started to sound, it was like one of those apartment fire alarms. I heard the sound of jets around me and police cars on the street. I started to move one of my ape arms while the other one was holding onto the building. I knocked down a couple of jets and then, jumped from the building to the ground, smashing some cop cars. I was almost as big as the building and started to run, breaking other buildings around.

I started to run away from downtown until I was back to normal size again and (I believe) human again. I kept running and thinking what else I needed to do, but the dream started to fade even faster. I tried to save it, but I was feeling my body in bed and even hearing waking world noises until I woke up.

Lucid #4 Subconscious

When I realize I’m lucid. I don’t really gain much consciousness. I’m still stupid and zombie-like. But all I know is that I want to air-bend and fly. I forgot to root myself in the dream, a rookie mistake. This was probably why I had such a low level of lucidity.

I am standing on a dirt cliff with ruins of a white castle behind me. I decide to attempt to fly first because I air-bended last lucid dream. I don't know how to go about flying for the first time. And I realize that I am at a low level of lucidity and I probably won't be able to fly, but I try anyway.

I try to bounce really high but it doesn't work because for some reason I am still conscious of my recovering knee injury and the fact that in real life jumping is still hard. I manage to jump about 5 feet in the air but couldn't get any farther because of my knee.

The scene shifts to a city with tall white buildings. There are a lot of dcs. I decide to ask my subconscious a question. I remember two dcs say something to me but I don't remember what it was. I ask my subconscious what I am most afraid of. I have to say the question twice.

The second time a huge flock of birds fly overhead by the tops of the skyscrapers around me. They fly in a tighter and tighter formation and then expand in the shape of an airplane. I guess that my greatest fear must be of plane crashes. I think to myself that I don't think I’m really that afraid of them but I don’t know, I can't really argue with my subconscious. I ask my subconscious what my purpose in life is and I
wake up.

Lucid #3 Running Like the Wind

I am competing with my friend D to see who can run down a grassy hill faster. We are in a very beautiful place with steep, sloping green hills and a tall forest ahead. Behind us there is a quaint town.

D wants to charge down the steepest hill head first and I want to take a less steep hill. I say "Of course you want to charge down the steep hill like a fire bender. I'll go down the more flat one like the air-bender I am."

He laughs and says "Of course you will! Race you!"

Then he charges down the hill. I run over to the flatter hill and sprint down laughing and having fun. When we get to the bottom D rubs it in my face that he beat me and I decide to do a reality check. Just in case. I go for my normal nose pinch RC and I find that I can breathe! I think this must be a mistake! I must have not pinched my nose hard enough. So I try it again and I can still breathe. I try it one last time and squeeze me nose and mouth shut as hard as I can and I suck in a huge breath!

I immediately become lucid. I get really excited and tell myself that I will not wake up from being excited like I did before. So I rub my hands together and study the feeling and the landscape around me. I shout I am lucid dreaming! D seems to have disappeared. I then run up a hill on to flatter ground and decide to air-bend at a pole.

I fling my hand and arm forward but nothing happens. I think that I must have not truly expected anything to happen, so I try again. This time a huge visible gust flies from my hand and hits the pole! I’m feeling really confident so I decide to try to make some targets appear behind me. I start by expecting to see them there because I have to believe they already are there.

As I turn around I see that they did appear, just to the side of me rather than behind me. I don't think it's a big deal so I walk over. The targets are three big black circles on top of a black box. I try to air-bend at them again but only small pathetic gusts come out of my hands this time. I start to get frustrated as to why I can't do it well and I
lose lucidity.

Lucid #2 Sewers

This dream has a lot of memory gaps and I wasn't very lucid, but it was still a very memorable and fun experience.

I don't remember the dream, but somehow I realize I am dreaming. I get very excited and immediately rub my hands together to make the dream more stable. I try to air-bend and I succeed! I try to water-bend and that works too! The scene changes to me in a boat in the sewers. I find that with water-bending I can make the boat go really fast. I look behind me and I see that my dad is yelling at me in a speedboat that is gaining quickly. I power on the focus on water-bending and I either have a memory gap or I wake up before he can get to me.

Lucid #1 Biology Class

First lucid dream! The lucid portion probably only lasted about 10 seconds, but I will still never forget it.

I walk into my biology class and take my seat at the back of the room. Everything is the usual. I talk with my friends and go to adjust my knee brace out of habit. However my knee brace isn't there and neither are my crutches! I instantly become lucid. I am extremely excited because this is my very first lucid dream! Immediately every dc in the room stands up and looks at me and starts clapping. The colors on the walls start to melt off in rainbow colors. The substitute teacher starts playing beauty and the beast on the projector. I’m feeling so excited that I accidentally wake myself up

Comet ISON tracking, Sphinx revival and flight. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a false awakening and it was night. The room was very dark, darker as usual and my wife was not there. I went to the living room and saw my wife looking at the TV, even though, the TV was off.

There was an iPad laying on the TV (note, we own Samsung, not iOS) and it had a real time tracking software on comet ISON and it was beeping every two seconds. My wife told me she was tracking the comet to see if it survived the sun or not.

I looked outside the window and I could see a sky full of stars. I realized that there was no electricity at all. Even though, my computer was working. I wondered if the grid went down, but a few seconds later, all the street lights started to lit and the stars went away. I dozed off.

I had another false awakening in some weird warehouse. I kind of realized that I was dreaming, as I did not know the place where I woke up. The dream was very low quality and I could not make it stable well, so I opened a small window and started to fly to make it stable, but lost the dream.

I had another false awakening in the same warehouse and now there were people. I somehow believed I was still dreaming, so ran outside. I met a guy and asking him where to go to exit there. He looked at me like if I was nuts and pointed the exist. As I exited, I was in a forest with a lot of trees. I tried to take of flying but I could not, even gravity felt normal. I told myself, "Well, I am dreaming, I think..." And looked at my hand. My fingers were made out of energy and wavy, so I indeed was dreaming and reminded myself flying is an easy task to do for me, so I took off.

As I was flying, I saw a desert and reminded myself in the tasks of the year. I recalled I had to do the Sphinx one, so I landed and was near the Great Sphinx. There were other buildings around (western buildings) but the pyramids were there, and specially, the Sphinx .

I flew to the top of her and placed my hands in front of her nose, which was chipped and damaged. I started to channel healing energy like I use to do in real life and a new nose spawned. Easy and done, lucky me...

Suddenly, the Sphinx started to move and I flew on her above the pyramids. As I was flying, the pyramids shrunk and some weird metallic buildings spawned out of nowhere, after a short while, the Sphinx landed and then, she flew away. She kind of looking half stone half flesh, but, I flew on her so I was good to go.

I started to focus on making an L-DEILD and get the last task of the year done, but I started to feel my body in bed and rapidly, lost the dream and woke up.

Last time I was on this site I was reading an entry from someone who was saying they were afraid to Lucid Dream in case they couldn't wake themselves up. To me that's not a problem as even before I knew about LDing I could force myself awake when something bad was happening - so I thought id experiment a little.

The other night I was in the middle of a non-lucid dream, and things where getting bad, (This nowadays is where I usually become Lucid and change it.) But on this occasion I wanted to wake myself up differently from normal, no forcing myself awake. Normally I force my eyes open from within the dream and kinda feels like i'm sucking myself out of the dream.

So when shit started going down I tried to find a different way to leave the dream. Now lucid of course, I walked through an alleyway and into a little corner shop style thing. It was dark and dingy and like a little old sweet shop. I spoke to the lady at the counter, a tiny little, very old Chinese lady, looked almost like a witch sort of character. I said to her whilst looking at all the different sweets and stuff lined up on the counter and in jars -

"I need you to give me something that will wake me up."

She took a moment to think and pottered around, and come back with a dark blue sphere shaped sweet. I was well aware that outside the shop was still very hostile and coming closer. The DC handed it over and nodded assertive and reassuringly to me. I popped it into my mouth and swallowed it whole. Instantly my vision went funny, bright colours in a spiralling black tunnel, It felt like I was being pulled backwards through the tunnel head first. Only about three seconds later I was awake on my pillow, slightly shocked, but it worked! How amazing was that!

So yeah I thought that was a pretty cool experiment, and something new to me. Worked just how I wanted it too though and would be interesting to see if that style works on anyone else, (I know most people don't want to wake up from LDs,) but if they did then give it a try or let me know ways you have tried!

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragment):

Something about piloting some craft.

Dream 2(fragment):

Something about dragons.

Dream 3(fragment):

Some shmup boss fight.

Dream 4:

I try to do DEILD but it fails but then i try for WILD and soon transition occurs and FA fades into my view. I get up but it"s very unstable, it's hard to stand and navigate, i try to stabilize but that doesn"t works, then i switch to quadruped stance and go towards balcony door. I try to break through but whole unstability makes me just bounce away. I notice weird mechanism on the wall and there are a few clocks on it, i pick two and one of them is at 4h and another is at 8h, dream fades.

Dream 5(fragments):

i was browsing dreamviews and there were weird spammy posts around.

11/25/13 10:35AM
I already got sleep, so I'm sure this is why this happen. I was reading bout ppl's LDs in bed than decided to sleep a little more without intentions of LDing or anything. I just had SP but like in the dreamworld I guess I'm in a room that looks like mines but not really but i'm stuck in the bed and all I can do is barely toss and turn while like breathing hard. Than I have a FA still in bed with SP I try to move but same barely can only move in bed and something is attacking me. I hear like a roar and it's attacking my thigh, it hurts. It ends and I have another FA/SP I guess, again in what looked like my room but not really but this time I see my covers are brown instead of blue and out the corner of my eye I see someone in a wedding dress which I guess was a mannequin because a mannequin hand slowly stretches towards me, which freaks me out a bit. I try moving but my body and limbs feel so heavy and it's very hard to move. That mannequin hand continues to stretch more and more but very slowly, I eventually managed to get out the bed but my eyes are still glued to that hand while I'm trying to put my feet in my addidas slides lol. Since my body is so heavy and I move slow, I give in by reaching for the mannequin's hand. I grab her hand, expecting to feel a plastic hand but instead I feel as if I'm clenching my covers. Now finally awake in my bed with my eyes close and that same hand I used is in fact clenching my covers lol. That felt so real!

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was some story, main character was talking to some weird characters, including deformed portrait, and then went on some quest. He was carrying a glowing weapon and started exploring some pyramid shaped crypts and a small dragon was following him around.

Dream 2:

I was watching someone streaming space rangers 2 and there were some weird quests for getting items. Player had to combine some items from various planets, gotten via trade, to get quest items. One of compinations was bathroom + water, and it made soap(so random). Also there was some draconic race in game that player talked with a couple of times.
Then i wake up and try to DEILD, but with no result, but then as i get off the bed i feel that i am dreaming but it fades out quickly.(I am actually not sure if i actually woke up or if it was FA from the start)

Dream 3(fragment):

Was watching some videos.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was some talk about games and level-making and something about timing. Then dream faded and i was in some HH/FA hybrid state where i could see a room with closed eyes, felt more like HH, i also saw my snout. I tried to DEILD/make it actual dream, but with no success.

Dream 2(fragments):

I am playing some game. then i wake up and get up room is different and i feel the dream, but then it fades.

Dream 3(fragments):

I woke up and decided to try DEILD but multiple people were distracting me with blankets and videos, eventually i woke up properly.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was with a group of people and there was some talk about 'Trance kid' that we had to find. Then i suddenly got teleported.
I am standing on what appears to be invisible platform floating in the air, the platform is above a highway and there are alot of cars and trucks, one grey truck near me. I realize that i am dreaming and apparently all cars and trucks drive but also they are kinda static relative to platform. I explore the place walking on this invisible platform/floor and then suddenly i am in some version of my room. I go ahead and phase through balcony door, which also had slightly broken glass on the right side. Then i fly with wings to metallic roof of one of small buildings and land into quadruped stance, dream shortly fades.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1:

I was trying to nap and someone started distracting me, then i went back to nap and had to choose one of 7 dragon pics?

Dream 2:

I wake up and suddenly get attacked by 'Attacker DC', i resist and then knock him far back with roar.Then i wake up again, vision is kinda weird so i am still dreaming, room is also veeery small, i go towards balcony and easily smash the door open and then take off using my wings. Shortly sudden wave of wind or some kind of power throws me towards the ground, and i kind of lag/glitch in air, bizarre. I get stuck like that for like 10-15 seconds and then finally manage to get out of 'glitch', i fly a bit higher and notice random group of windows in the air, when i get closer my room 'fades in' on my position and shortly dream ends.

Some person 'wakes me up' and i still feel the dream, i notice that bed is huge, taking like half of the room. I get up and look around, i briefly notice some anime person but he disappears very quickly. Then i look into mirror and i look completely different and apparently blonde.

I am at home, looking out of window, i notice something flying in the sky very far. Then i notice that something is a dragon, i do RC and it fails, i continue looking. Dragon is flying above houses on the other side of the street now, he's fairly large and yellow. I feel that i am dreaming and decide to call dragon. He continues flying like he did but then after a while changes direction towards my home and quickly gets closer. Eventually he just gets into the room crashing through the wall and ceiling and lands behind in the room. I feel nice that i finally get do see another dragon in lucid, but then in a second dream just destabilizes and fades before i can ask or do anything...
