I remember walking around an extended dreamscape and my awareness was rising slowly over time until I kind of noticed that I couldn't properly move fast and at some point I did an RC. I think that place where I finally became lucid was some bridge (it was day), and I was running around below it and found my movement capabilities insufficient, I got some strange feeling heralding lucidity and the RC did the rest. Upon becoming lucid it apparently also became night again. Then there seems to be a gap, I don't recall anything specific at least. I was really trying hard to keep myself in the dream, I was often looking at my hands as well as trying to keep my mind clear and for some reason got the idea to use Plasmids like in Bioshock (probably because people were running around which I didn't deem necessary), and after trying to equip myself with a random Plasmid I got fire and used it a few times, setting a dude on a bike aflame who suddenly decided to say that this bike was mine because I set him on fire. Then I tried to summon a random non-Bioshock plasmid but that failed. I tried to summon a Nova-like Plasmid (like the beam in Metroid Prime: Corruption), but since that failed as well I went directly with the beam Samus usually wields. After kind of defeating all idiots and some time dilation fighting scenes I got my normal Hands back and decided to do a first World Severing Seal, the pillars now significantly bigger than the last time (this time they were white and hollow, with a complicated outside), however the first 2 were not exactly standing straight. I thought about a bunch of things I wanted to do all along the way, especially about my dream guide. In the end however I started to notice how sensations form the real world slowly came in which I couldn't push away and I couldn't stabilize any longer, just as I was about to let it become day and though about trying to fly again I woke up. The text is pretty short but the dream itself was pretty long actually, just that a lot of the things I did were repetitive exercises to keep up stability.
dream : comments : lucid 7th of February, 2012 Another big one! Sorry they're so long- I just have to include everything for myself. I took a Galantamind pill at 8:30am and tried to get back to sleep but failed miserably. I went and lay on the couch and watched a bit of Jurassic Park and kept trying to doze off but the TV was keeping me awake and my brother kept disturbing me. Then I had a false awakening where I looked at a clock and it spontaneously occurred to me I was dreaming. I went into the hallway and heard noises from a nearby room. It was dark inside so I tried to turn a light on which obviously didn't work. "Duh!" I thought and casually left. At that point I found myself in a backyard and jumped onto the roof and was touching everything. The clothesline was higher than the roof which I thought was a pretty cool thing to randomly think up. I tried to fly a bit but couldn’t really control myself and landed in the back yard where I was rolling around with Nooks in clean clothes like a little kid. I could still hear the TV playing so I yelled to increase lucidity and Nooks said “okay! SHUT UP!” and woke me up. I attempted a DEILD while focussing on running and materialised outside a small block of apartment buildings surrounded by grass and trees. I was running still and realised that I needed to settle down and just sit and focus on relaxing for future endeavours, even if it did mean wasting this dream. I went looking for a nice place to sit but everywhere was a bit too... urban. I eventually settled on a little patch of grass near a tennis court. So I sat on down and just looked around at the sky and the dirt and my hands and the trees and the grass and the clouds and really focussed on my senses. Nooks, Courtney and Byron joined me and I began to feel myself swallowing in real life so I dove into the ground but rolled around in blackness and came back to the same spot. Didn’t wake up though, so I suppose it worked. I sat for a bit longer then dove again into the ground. SPLASH! I emerged from water in a bath with Nooks. Who had a Captain Planet mullet haircut. We had sexy bath times and then she started drowning and I was like “OH! I could have sex with her while she’s dead!” Then I realised that was really creepy and picked her up and took her into a bedroom instead. On our way, Jono came out with exactly the same haircut and I laughed. So I sat on the bed and thought I could still hear the TV invading my dreams and watched as the wall glowed in time with the sounds. I noticed that there were little green glowing arrows on the walls as well, but still got bored pretty quickly and went out a window onto a deck. It was night time and the decks were all interconnected. I had to ninja myself in and out of windows and over railings to get outside. While I was doing it, I was dictating out loud how I’d write it on DreamViews but I forgot on waking up. Outside, my vision was a bit blurry so I commanded lucidity and it helped. After some insignificant stuff it was day time and a bunch of cloaked people were around. We were standing on a huge raised platform made of dark redwood. There were benches and small doors around that I didn’t explore too fully. The people started getting restless so I thought I’d show them who’s boss and I Fus Ro Dah’d* a bunch of them. It was really funny and ineffective, like my brain couldn’t make it work so instead they just pretended it worked and jumped back making “ooh” noises. I got irked and made one guy fly up to the roof and attempted to make a fireball which sort of worked. After that, the Imperial March started playing and I felt tough so naturally they followed me. I went to a ledge and wanted adventure so I looked out over quite a serene bay. I saw an island and said “let’s go!” and flew to it. I landed at a little boat which quickly turned into a buoy which I sailed to the island. There, three identically dressed men were lying on top of each other in the sand. Wanting to just see what my dream could do, I pleasantly asked what they were up to. They replied they were trying to fix a telephone cable but had no mobile reception. “No worries!” I said I could help and lo and behold there was suddenly a giant pole on the island stretching upwards but all bendy. They began attaching bags to it for whatever reason and suddenly there was a highway over the island. Mitchell and Jono were now there smoking weed. He offered me and Nooks some and I said sure but it didn’t eventuate. “Wanna come over for breakfast?” Mitchell asked. “Nah thanks. I don’t need food here.” “Breakfast in bed then?” He continued. I smiled. “I am in bed!!” We walked about for a minute or two longer and then I moved my leg which woke me up in real life 15 seconds before my alarm went off. Which was weird, because in an earlier dream which I now forget I’d said “PHONE!” just before Nooks’ alarm went off as well. Oh. And by the way. I never went and watched Jurassic Park. That was all total false awakening. It’s a bit annoying in a way because due to that, the rest of the dreams seemed a bit light, like I was trying hard not to wake up. I realised later that if I’d just let myself wake, I would have in fact been in a far more stable dream instead. I do also hope I'm not becoming reliant on galantime to become lucid, though it does have a really good induction rate! I imagine if anything it's just helping me recognise signs... Hopefully. *one of my lucid goals. Skyrim is awesome.
I was dreaming about driving for my driver’s license, at first with a car, than an omnibus and then (oddly) with a bicycle, the street became smaller then as well. Then there were some annoying wasps around, due to a mass of trees on the street I couldn’t keep going and then I found a dead blue hornet under my trousers on my right knee, which was connected with a green strand of stuff to me. I woke up in my room, but everything seemed to be realistic and I still heard the music (which I usually don’t in my dreams, and didn’t do later on again), so I thought I wasn’t dreaming at first. Never the less I did a reality check and though it was a bit hard I could breathe through my pinched nose, and after becoming slightly lucid I started to notice all those things that were off in my room (primarily all written things had single letters replaced by similar ones [Greek ones primarily]). I did my world severing seal again and tried to raise my awareness, both things with moderate but acceptable success for now. I got up and went to my desktop, first of all starting to think of what to do now, so I decided to make a list with the things to do in order. Yet I woke up in the process, so I’m going to finish that list now. Though the dream was this time not directly caused by the lucid remix, it might have incubated the dream in some way. The track was playing from 5:38 to 6:10, while I woke up at about 7:00.
I know at first there was some part of the dream where I was with some people I knew (remember only mother though) and that I somehow searched for materials to forge weapons. […] I was talking with my brother and there was a blue clear beautiful sky outside with just a very thin layer of clouds. It started raining and I said to him that rain with an clear blue sky is the most beautiful weather (which is actually my opinion) and did an random reality check (likely due to an track playing in reality that moment) not expecting anything strange, yet my nose felt unusual and I could freely breath, tried it again and became lucid, seeing a person through the window I tried to change his color but without success. I still wasn’t perfectly sure what was going on and as to not embarrass myself I did my world severing seal silently, my brother though vanished without me noticing and I was going out of the room through the building. It looked casual yet somehow special; everything was bright but in a positive way. I instinctively made a daring jump dawn the staircase and went outside, under an intensively green tree were some snack bars lying. I looked skeptical at them but didn’t pay more attention. I massively tried to get rid of the drowsiness and it at least partially worked, I wanted to search for a nice free location to do what I was planning to do (looking back I should’ve just started where I was, but though I was less drowsy, I wasn`t completely myself yet ). I came across a lot of children, each with a different toy gatling gun. Then I found a big open place and decided that I would start doing my experiments here, strange enough the walls of the buildings around looked somewhat like shelves and there was a trapeze hanging from the sky. I remember randomly grabbing it but then the dream turned all grey and fuzzy, and I noticed I was waking up. I tried to get back in but without success. As I woke up though there was a lucidity track playing, at 15 minutes. It was the one called lucid remix which I found in this post: http://www.dreamviews.com/f44/audio-...ository-55276/ I once had this track playing a lot of times randomly in the middle of the night, and it always only woke me up. After a long break (over a month) and a bit success I used this track for the first time again this night and had immediate success. Also the numbers are telling me I likely kept my lucidity at least for a few minutes and that I successfully achieved my first EILD.
After 8 hours of sleep with barely any dreams I went to sleep while listening to a rain tune with my mp3 player. Then I dreamt that I was in my room, it was pretty realistic except for the fact that the curtain was mounted with a pretty strange device, made out of black plastic. It was foldable and seemed to be designed for mobility. There was a slit in the wall above the curtain where lots of rain poured through, into my room. I got up to somehow stop the rain and did something with the curtain device. Then the dream faded already.
