Minecraft addiction

I was mining in a cave (In the game, of course) when I came across something odd. There was this hole, and in it I saw The End. I saw the obsidian towers as well as the Ender Dragon flying around. This was not an end portal. It was something different. I couldn't go into it, I couldn't mine it, and there was no frame.
I mined around this hole, and found it was no hole at all. It was actually a few blocks that had videos of The End on them, which made it look like a hole. I wanted to go in there. At this point, the dream goes from fairly vivid to a complete blur. I tried a few things to get in, but they all failed.

For some reason, this dream makes me feel some type of emotion I can't put my finger on. I think it's nostalgia, but why would that be? I've had Minecraft since 1.0.0, which was not long ago at all. If this dream reminds me of something that brings out nostalgia in me, I have no idea what it is. I'm quite confused because of that.

Cath Lab

I am at work (the hospital) refilling the Pyxis medication dispensing machines. I have to refill the Pyxis in the heart cath lab. This pyxis seems to be located in an Aperture Science type place, with long corridors and chambers. I go down one corridor to fill one pyxis, and start to realize how isolated I am. It also becomes kind of creepy, because I think I see a body laying on a table in one of the cath labs. For some reason, I feel that this may end up being a threat.

There is more to this dream, but my recall isn't so good lately. My own fault, since I haven't been working on dreams so much recently.

Something about Movie Gallery, there's a mirror world you can get to using a cannon-portal? There's a very starry dreamscape. It's very pretty.

----------------

I'm a detective assigned to a missing person case. The person who was missing was a girl named Ahri. (I'm not sure if it was just a girl that looked a lot like Ahri from LoL or if I subconsciously translated what she would look like irl. Either way, it wasn't the same character.)

I head off and do some investigating. I learn that she had been seen by someone some time ago, doing something that I can't remember.

I'm getting off of a sort of pseudo-subway train, heading to a club. I get in somehow (probably just telling who I was,) and I get a lot of nasty looks from the club's members, as if I was there to arrest every single one of them. Everyone in the club is dressed up very nice. I go into a room in the back. I explain to everyone that I am a detective, and asked nicely if they would all line up against the wall so I could ask questions. I go around just looking at everyone, passing by Ahri without much thought. One guy starts trash-talking me, saying that he would beat the shit out of me and such. I just ignore him and continue. After I get about 3/4 of the way through, I go back to Ahri and look at her closely.

"What's your name?" I ask her, squinting my eyes to get a better look at her. Everything is so blurry.

"Ahri," she responds cooperatively.

"No she's not!" the man beside her blurts out, looking worried. The man was involved in the case somehow. His name had Nine in it, but I don't remember his full name so I'll just call him Nine. I nod and put my hand on her back, leading her out of the room.

"If you would come with me..." I say politely, and she cooperates. Once we get outside, I decide that I can probably get Nine to come with us too.

"You can get your 'Anon' friend to come with us, too, if you'd like," I mention. Ahri opens the door and motions for someone to follow. The guy who threatened me walks out, and I shoot Ahri a glare.

"Very funny," I say to Ahri, then turn to the man. "I'm sorry for wasting your time, sir." Ahri and I get on the subway-train-thing.

I ask her if she knows who Nine is, and she says that he's her friend. I ask if she knows how he got his name and she says no. I explain that the government was experimenting using certain drugs, and that the one that they used on him killed him. Nine months later, he 'woke up' as if he had only gone to sleep. I tell her that any time he is knocked out or goes to sleep, he actually dies for a little while.

A good bit of stuff happens. I don't really remember what, but I think that I started assisting Ahri. I do know that I took her to the detective's office place, but after that the mystery plot just kinda flopped. I took Ahri to my house, and we were running from something.

Timeskip, Ahri and I are married. My memory is fuzzy about this part.

Timeskip again, Ahri and I have kids. I'm teaching one of my kids how to use one of his powers that he apparently got from me.

I remember having a False Awakening, but I wasn't lucid for it. I only realized what it was when I woke up.

I can scroll around a map Homestuck-style. My friend tells me to look at this certain area, so I look and there's this little imp thing with its head cut off, waving its arms around. I proceed to look at every area with a door, and there's one in every room with a door.

There's this group of people that I'm included in, and we're trying to break some sort of building. There's this guy in techy armor, and he cuts an oval into his shirt, placing a portal in it so he can carry the portal on his chest.
"Hey, I kinda look like a human-controlled construct."
We portal in and start marketing this new candy and cookies to the leader of the building.

There are two brothers. Their father was killed or committed suicide, I don't know which. It just showed an image of him in the background, dead and bloody, sitting against a wall while in the foreground his son is playing with the butler happily.
They were on a roof, and had to escape from something. They kept catching each other when they were about to fall. One time, the older brother falls and the younger brother goes to catch him. He's not going to make it. He lets go of the rail he was holding on to, falling to catch his brother. He'll be able to save him, right?
No, wait, they're just freefalling. They talk, tell each other they love the other, and then suddenly I'm back in the previous dream (this is where the candy ads come in)

After waking up from the last dream and failing to DEILD, I notice that it is still not time to get up.
I decide to go back to sleep in the hopes of landing back in my old dream.

I'm walking on a beach.
Except... it is not really a beach.

I am in fact in one of the classrooms at my uni, and the ground is covered in sand,
and the walls are painted with ocean an palms.
Many led's on the ceiling make it appear as if there was a night sky.
It looks as if someone tried to reconstruct a scene that occasionally appears in my dreams:
http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/hyu/girl-beach-12340/

Realizing that I am dreaming, I check how stable it is.
I grab a hand full of sand and let it slowly pour down back onto the ground.
It feels very real, and even though it is dark inside, the contrast of my vision is so strong that I can see everything clearly with ease.
Great!

My thoughts on where to go are interrupted by a female voice behind me.

"Hi..."

I turn around and see a familiar face.

"Krista!"

She holds out a hand to me.

"Come with me?"

Which is similar to how I invited her a long time ago:
Taking KristaNicole to Teraluna - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I grab her hand and follow her out of the room.
There's a portal on one of the walls which I assume she has created.
We go trough it and are sucked through a tunnel, full of odd lighting effects.
There appear to be insect-like creatures on the outer walls, but they don't seem to take notice of us.

We come out on the other end, and fortunately for once I don't land on my face like an idiot.
I don't know what it is with portals, but I have a tendency of coming out upside down on the other end.


We are on what appears to be a set of floating islands.
It's beautiful, and there is some type of temple not far away which looks very interesting.

"I've been thinking about you yesterday, I haven't heard from you in a long time."

She doesn't look like she heard what I said.

"Aww, I wanted the portal to lead to the temple."

I pick Krista up, which clearly confuses her.

"... What are you doing?"

I concentrate on the temple and blink both of us towards it.
I put Krista back down.

"What was that?"
"I call it blinking, it's a short range teleport kind of thing."
"You call that short?"
"Yeah, I can basically blink as far as I can see."

"How does it work?"
"Uuh, it's kinda weird. You concentrate on the spot where you want to blink to."
"Then take a single step towards the location, but at the same time land a second step in the location where you want to end up."
"That... that doesn't make any sense."
"I told you it's weird, you basically take a single step but end up taking two."

I see Krista concentrating on a location not too far away. She is trying to blink.

"Hey, be careful, it's easy to loose your orientation and end up in a..."

I hear a loud noise as Krista crashes into a thick decorative pillar.

"... wall ..."
"OUCH"

Small bits of the pillar are falling off as she peels herself loose.
I can't help myself and I start laughing.
Krista does not seem to be amused.

"It's not funny!"
"Actually it kind of is."

On a second thought, she's finding it amusing after all, but she doesn't want to show it.

"Let's go to the center of the temple."
"Sure."

She starts walking towards what appears to be the main building.
I feel like fooling around and start hovering over the ground, and enter her field of vision, floating on my back just a few centimeters above the ground.
I wave at her as I slowly pass her.

She starts laughing.

"What the hell are you doing? You are insane!"
"Quite."

She grabs me and turns me upside down and sits down on my back.

"Much better."
"Hey!"
"To the temple!"
"I ain't no taxi service!"
"To the temple!"

Fine, I fly us both to the center of the temple.
This would look absolutely ridiculous to an outsider.

We end up in a really amazing location.
There's a pool in the middle of a platform, with a few holes in the ground, creating waterfalls that go all the way down to the surface of the planet.
The water source appears to be infinite.

"Did you make this?"
"... Yes."
"It's beautiful!"

I start walking on the pool.

"Hey! How do you do that?"
"What? Walk on water?"
"Yes!"
"What do you mean? I just do it."
"But... you're supposed to go under."
"No I'm not."
"Tell me how it works, I want to learn how to walk on water."

"You don't need to learn how to walk on water, you need to forget how to fall through water."
"What? That doesn't make any sense."
"Sure it does, think about it."

She's saying something that I cannot quite comprehend.
I turn around to look at her, but I cannot find her anymore.

"Hey, where did you go?"

No answer...
I notice my vision is very blurry, the dream is falling apart.
I wake up.

A month of near zero recall and then two cool lucids in a row.
Sometimes I wonder what goes on in my brain.

Splinter Cell Shootout & Portals, Abandoned area, Mini-Island, School Line, Alyzarin & Auron, Flash Light Killer (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream 1: Splinter Cell Shootout & Portals

This dream was so crazy that it's hard to get in ALL the details. From what I remember, I believe I'm talking to a DC about some kind of lady's brand of watches. I think we're like Co-OP agents, but I'm not sure of this until later on.

I believe we're in a store, and I grab one of the watches of the lady's brand of watches who started with the word "J." It was probably Jeannie or something along those lines. It was some an old lady that we were after, that's for sure.

I think we get out the store through some portal, it's really weird, it's like this area of portals is like some kind of lobby or resting ground or something like that.

The main colors were cool colors (blue, purple, etc.) with some pink to it, and it's making all these weird shapes while the portals themselves are just purple/violet.

I don't know which portal we go to, but I do know this area has 4 portal entrances cover North, South, East, and West.

The area we go into from one of those portals, it seems that we have our night vision goggles on. One of the guys who is apparently my partner finds the Jeannie lady or "J" (let's call her J) walking around late at night.

We're trying not to alert her, we're simply following her. She looks like an innocent old lady, and she's pretty fast at walking as well. I just didn't want to come in contact with this woman because I felt she would do some crazy if we're having a mission to get this woman.

She is wearing no protection, just regular clothing, and I'm bothered by how I'm wearing this black suit that resembles Sam Fisher's outfit in a few Splinter Cell games. It just seemed silly to capture of what seemed like a poor and defenseless lady with the type of gear we had.

After following her around more, I think of us shoots her. Well...that felt easy, in my mind at least.

I even joked around with my partner, asking "What if she were to just come back alive and start shooting at us." I started laughing, and my partner was probably laughing too.

BAD IDEA TO MAKE FUN OF THE LADY.

This woman who was dead and gone, just suddenly comes back up, and she's freaking pissed. I'm in that "Holy shit" moment, and she just starts shooting all over the damn place.

I think she gets a few shots at me, and I don't feel anything, but I do hear sounds of my hearing getting mixed up with each out, kind of like the sound you hear in Call of duty when your screen is almost covered in red.

It's like this screeching sound, like the after-effect of throwing a flash grenade. And my movement is impaired too, so I try to escape this area through a portal.

Also, the female that was shooting us probably ended up being a male, because I remember a male DC on the floor trying to shoot at us.

I think before I get to go inside the portal to escape, the DC or someone else in this dark place (we still have night vision, so no problems on knowing what's going on) throws something.

(I'm still seeing things in third person perspective, so this is most likely a NON-REM dream)

And I do know that I was shooting back at the DC that was shooting at me (by this time, I don't know if it's a female or male shooting at me, I just shoot the person on the ground with a some automatic weapons)

I don't know what it is, but I assume it's a grenade, it lands right at my feet, and instead of being shocked by this, I quickly take the grenade and throw it back to where it came from, or at least somewhere random.

Then I hear the voice of some female that asked something like, "Why would you do that?!?!?!?" I knew it couldn't have been the old lady, it sounds like the female that I heard was disappointed in what I did.

But I had no other option but to do it because it was so freaking crazy in that area! I just couldn't help throwing back anything at me because it was just too chaotic.

I go inside the portal, or whatever it is, and find myself at that same pink-ish void with variants of purple and blue forming, and the same portals again I believe.

I'm seeing the character in third person perspective still, and I see a slightly zoomed out version of them from a certain angle above.

Then I see a DC that looks like Jinx from Teen Titans, and something tells me I should run away from her. So I try to trick her into thinking that I'm going into one portal, and then quickly dashing to the other.

But I see she finds out I'm doing this to her, so I decided to trick her even more by going through other portals really quick to where she can't get a sense of which one I picked.

I ended up picking the right one, and I'm in this weird 2D side scroller adventure game. I'm sitting on a cloud, a gray cloud probably, and it's carrying me somewhere.

I can't remember much after that.

Dream 2: Abandoned area

I'm in an abandoned factory or warehouse. On the top of me are ceilings that seem to have squares of glass on top of them, and most of them are gone, which means there were a lot of thin ledges to climb on.

I decided to jump up and do so flips in the air while hanging on each ledge, completely ignoring the fact that I should be hitting my head constantly trying to reach the top.

Dream 3: Mini-Island

This dream is so random, but I'll mention it anyway. I don't know who I am, I just know I drop on some mini-island by falling through a net.

I irritated some green cartoonish alligator, and I jump up somewhere before it could find me I guess. It can talk and says it will go somewhere to prevent people from disturbing it's sleep or something like that.

Dream 4: School line

I'm in some type of school, seeing random DCs all over the place, and then someone helps me form a line to go somewhere.

Dream 5: Alyzarin and then Auron???

Alyzarin's username gets changed to some lengthy and random name. She still has control of her account, but she says she was hacked somehow.

I don't know what happens next but the dream shifts to where I'm in some auditorium with the red seats, like going to a theater almost. I see some girl looking at me, or at last feeling like she's looking at me. She's wearing a pink shirt, maybe, and that's all I can presume about her.

The dream shifts again to where a DC that looks like Auron in waking life is doing something to people. I think he's killing them, and I'm scared.

I calm myself down because I think my Zune HD can help me teleport, since I have a hunch that I did it before in a prior dream that I can't remember. Then when I think it's ready, I get out of the closet or whatever I'm in, and gather all my courage to dodge Auron.

I don't know why, I just do it. I look at my Zune HD, and the loading bar is STILL going up. I'm annoyed by this and still afraid, and when it does reach the top, it says something has failed loading. (Most likely it's teleportation capability)

I'm in that "oh crap" moment, and the Auron look-a-like gets closer and closer, and the dream starts to fade away.

Everything is still kind of hazy in the dream, and Auron probably wasn't apparent in the later half, I just assume that he is.

Dream 6: Flash Light Killer

I'm floating on water, and it seems to be some flooding in a lab or some ship. I'm going down the water and see an Anime female naked, dead, and was wrapped with red rope (bondage). She had green short hair I believe. I saw other girls too, and some looked familiar.

The dream shifts, and I'm sitting at an auditorium probably that's really lit up. It has a lot of seats going at an angle to occupy a lot of people. Then this DC appears that looks suspicious to me. He comes down with someone with a flash light.

This flashlight dude shines his victims to mark them and then shoots them, I just know it. He shoots one of the DCs a few levels above from me, and gets to my level.

I can feel the light shining on me, but I'm not his target. He was simply shifting the light towards the other DC far to the left of the row of seats from me.

He moves over to kill him, and I'm relieved it wasn't me. But I do feel bad that he had to die though.

First

I'm at a large house in the countryside, a camping center. The others are mostly males between 20 and 30 years. For some reason I get locked in a barn with small group. The rest have something against us. I tell everyone I have a plan and light a candle. I escape trough a loose board in the wall. The candle is useless, it's daytime, and I blow it out. Then I go around the back, hiding behind things. I think someone sees me but they don't care. All the others have gather around a hill and are discussing some arrangements at the camp. They're talking about hiring a new handyman.

Second

There are some ethereal creatures and they are leaving this world trough a portal. I'm not one of them, I'm just watching. One stays behind for some reason. She has and emotional connection to this world. Another one comes, a male, and he finds her. He talks her into coming with him, but apparently this take years and in the meantime they fall in love. She still doesn't want to leave completely, but he tells her that they can come back ones in a while, but they can only live here for a thousand years at a time. I wonder how they could hide their identity if they live a thousand years.

Third

I'm returning home, walking by the road in a residential area. The houses don't look familiar, even though this should be my road. I notice the backside of my building on the other side of the block, I've taken the wrong road. I walk trough a yard to a back door. I briefly wonder if my keys will fit, since my apartment is actually on the other side, but I do get in. Something wrong on the first floor, there are people talking about it. I go up to my apartment. I'm interested in what the trouble was but decide to change my shoes before going back, I'm wearing hiking shoes and they are pretty heavy. There are things lying around in the apartment, I've left in a hurry, and I start cleaning them up.

Fourth

I'm in a gallery with small boutiques all around. There is a coffee place and a couple of clothing stores. I woman decides to buy something from a small bakery. I try to decide if I want to get something. There is a third person there, a man, who might know me, but not very well.

Cay's Dreams
Dream 1
I was with my sister, Azra, and an unfamiliar male; we were in a huge room with tan walls. All the furniture was pushed up agains them and there were several beds stacked on top of each other to make a rickety bunk bed. Azra, my sister and the male all climbed up to the top bunk- it must've been 20 feet off the ground. Suddenly the door was thrown open and people started flooding into the room, people with glowing green eyes and weapons. There were a few pairs pushing what looked like a cross between a medieval flail and an old fashioned push reel lawn mower. I spent the remainder of the dream playing defend the castle (the bunks) with my bare fists. At one point I stopped one of the lawn mower things with my open hand and it was lacerated to bits. At this point I woke up with a sore jaw from grinding my teeth.

Dream 2
I got lucid. I was standing in my yard, it was warm and pleasant and looked like summer. I became aware of a huge pole standing in the yard, a signpost. On one side, a huge orange sign read "Katsuno's Dream", with a symbol below it of a person falling through a portal (from the game Portal). I went and stood below the sign. The dream world started shifting around me; soon in the place of my house stood what looked like a hotel, painted bright blue with white balconies. I shrugged and set off for it. As soon as I walked into the lobby, there were all these dream characters crowding and pushing. I made my way toward the general center. There stood facing away a guy with brown hair in a white t-shirt with a different sense about him than the rest of the DCs- I spun him around. "Katsuno?!" I shouted in his face, while holding him by the shoulders. "Ah, yes?" he leaned away. "Katsuno! You're dreaming! You're dreaming, Katsuno!" I hugged him. "And, I'm Cay...and this is a shared dream!" I started dragging him around by the wrist, telling him excitedly that he had to try to remember this. I lost lucidity somewhere in the crowd of DCs, and Azra's alarm clock woke me up. She set it forward for an hour, though, so I fell back to sleep after scribbling some notes on a Post-it. Based on Katsuno's account from last night, though, it was a false encounter.

Dream 3
I was apparently in the damp stone tunnels under a castle, looking for a number of hidden relics in the shape of wooden suns, with faces carved on them and painted gold. I was also avoiding the guardians of the catacombs, these reptilian humanoids with chain mail and straight swords with spikes on them like the orcs have in LotR. I kept having to hurriedly snuff out my lantern when I heard their shuffling footsteps.

1/16/12

DILD

Notes: Nap...I felt very apathetic in this dream. I was not interacting with my environment much and I felt like I didn't have any objectives.

I dream started where I was laying on my stomach on the grass in ben's backyard. Kevin walked up and said, "It didn't ruin their lives...it just changed them." (he was referring to a TV show I had seen and talked to him about in an earlier dream. It wasn't a real show). I remember thinking that I should rewatch it to prove my point.

I somehow become lucid and stand up. I decide to walk inside the house and see if I can summon HM. I am visualizing her pretty well. However, about halfway there I get this thought that is like, "Ugh...I bet its going to be Robin again." I round a corner and instead of ben's living room, its my old one, and of course, Robin is sitting on the couch. I sit down next to her somewhat disappointed. I ask her why she is always here. She has some response that I can't remember. I put my arm around her and sit silently for a bit. I then grab one of her legs and put it over my lap. I am just sitting and thinking to myself. I do feel some connection between me and her. I eventually start trying to have sex with her. She is just going along and I stop myself, realizing I don't want to do this.

I get out and walk outside, half-expecting to see HM again. It is the front yard of my old house and she isn't there. I walk into the street. It is fairly dark. As I look up to fly, I see the trees have branches that extend way too far. They are touching each other so there are no good gaps to fly through. I find a small one and fly up. I just get to the branches and fall back down (I didn't hit the branches, I just got near them and lost all speed.) I decide to try and portal so I look across the street and start to draw a circle on a nearby house. Halfway through, some guy walks up and says something. I am mildly distracted but I look back and see the portal is finished. It is very large and has a red outer ring. I don't respond to the man and head for the portal.

I fly through it and suddenly I am gently flying over a large amphitheater. I am flying slowly, but I keep that speed. I think to myself, usually if I go too fast I lose speed and altitude. Maybe it will be easier if I just go slowly. It was. Eventually I have to start breast stroking, but I don't mind. I looked back down and everything was black. I tried to imagine seeing the seats of the amphitheater. Eventually a tan half-circle forms, and that slowly forms into the seats. Once I regain full vision, I look up and see that I am about 6 ft. below this platform. I just get enough height to land on top.

I stand up and turn around a corner. Some girl on the platform is yelling at a girl down below (but not as far down as the amphitheater). I decide to not get involved so I look to a nearby wall. It is really short, only like 2 ft. tall and made of wood. I try to make a portal in it. However, instead of the red ring, I just made a circular line in the wood. The girls look over at me and laugh. One says, "Look, he thinks he's magical or something!" I figure out a way to fix the portal. I use telekinesis and pull the circular chunk right out of the wall. It falls harmlessly to the ground. The girls are shocked. I walk over to the portal, but it is really small...only about 10 in. diameter. Before I figure out how to get through it, I lose the dream.

dream : comments : lucid

12th of January, 2012

Two big, vivid dreams this night. The second one kicked ass, as well.

I was waiting in a classroom of some sort. I knew Nooks had gone somewhere and I was alone for the week so I asked Mel if she knew anything fun to do around here...

...I was walking through the snow and we went into a shopping centre that had all these arcade machines and stores. To play the games, you had to swipe a card through a little slot, but ours didn't work (I think they were pirated cards or something) so the cashiers took our photos and we bailed. Out the front, some kid intentionally sneezed on my face so I beat him and his two friends up and threw him off the balcony and into a fountain below. I walked off feeling all badass.

Suddenly I had a bike and was walking with Acka down a wide lane. Some German kids were doing graffiti and being menacing towards us. Acka got spooked and went home and I walked into a hostel at the end of the alley. Mel was there again and was really drunk. I wandered around and suddenly it was supposedly Naomi's house, so for some reason I took a whizz in her bin and then wanted to go home. I didn't have any car keys, so I asked Tim to take me. I went outside again and it was daytime. Opposite the laneway was an Aussie pub and I remembered that Jimmy Barnes wanted me to order some drinks, so I went in and bought three different types but didn't have enough money to pay. I hid two of the bottles amongst some lettuce.

-----

With Caz, Nooks and some other people playing a Pilot Wings type game.
We went outside and found ourselves in Atlantis. It was pretty beautiful, I must say. I climbed up the lovely buildings and onto a mezzanine level where I found a drainpipe that was dispensing fresh water but Caz only wanted to brush her teeth with hot water.

At that point, the city began to collapse and sink into the ocean so we ran to this giant stone circle that was broken in half and hanging above the city square. As it collapsed, we just managed to join the pieces back together and fell into the water while riding it. As it sank, the disc began to spin and the interior filled with a Stargate like material except it was divided into segments, each with a different image on it. Later we discovered that they were each a portal into a different era- specifically a bad day in the life of a person from one particular bloodline.
We jumped into the first segment and found ourselves in an old galleon that was sinking. The captain was the person in the bloodline but was also Hugh Laurie and we decided that this was an excellent time to hang out in the on board hot tub, which we did. As the ship sank we jumped back into the disc and emerged in a WWII junkyard that was filled with derelict buses and plane carcasses. I drew a goatee on this fat, jovial soldier (I think it was meant to be a Hitler moustache, but they got the joke anyway) who was the person we were visiting this time.

The dream began to slowly lose focus shortly after that. There were several other portals we didn’t go through; I remember one being a Roman farm/countryside and one was an expansive image of a beautiful purple spiral galaxy. I wish I’d gone to that one and seen who the relative was.

I don't remember much from last night, although I believe I had a decent amount of dream activity.

Tunnels and strange archetecture

I am at the bottom of a deep shaft. It is kind of dark here. I believe that this is some place within the lower parts of Aperture Laboratories. I think I am trying to find my way out or something. I remember dreaming of this place before. It isn't exactly like Aperture from Portal, but it could easily fit in. Anyway, there are long corridors, stairs, and things I have to jump over.

Amish pancake breakfast

I am serving pancakes to Amish people. There are a bunch of Amish kids, who say funny things that I can't remember. The pancakes look really good, and I am pretty hungry, but I can't eat until I am done serving. It seems like a lot of people have to be served, too.

At this point someone wakes me up in real life. At first I am a bit annoyed, because the pancakes looked really good and now I won't get any.

I had pretty cool dreams last night, but unfortunately they don't seem like they could've been shared.

Cay's Dreams
Dream 1
This one was non-lucid. It was like I was playing a video game, with a heads-up display, but with a physical body. There was a compass in the lower left-hand corner, with "12/25" in the center, and on each point a different gruesome orc face with a red progress bar under it, like I had to kill so many of each type. I don't know how I could ever have managed to kill twelve of those things, because it took what felt like a half hour to slay one. It didn't even have a weapon, but every time one of its punches made contact it sent me flying. I managed to block and even parry a few times, learning to predict the orc's movements. I feel like, even though I wasn't lucid, I learned a bit about wielding my warhammer.

Dream 2
The earliest thing I remember is being next to my friend B.C. next to a shelf covered with hanging breastplates, kneepads, goggles, red jumpsuits and various other bits of armor/skating/skiing equipment. "So...I'm gonna need some armor," he said. "Uh, here, take this..." I pulled off one of the breastplates and a pair of kneepads, then found one of the red jumpsuits in his approximate size, and handed it to him. D.M. showed up beside me, followed by S.G. and a string of other people from school. I handed out a set of protective equipment to every one of them. Most of the goggles were red-tinted so dark that you could hardly see out of them, so I avoided handing them out. I noticed that they were all carrying what looked like a hybrid between a handgun and a Star Trek phaser. I eventually gathered from the chatter that it was some sort of dream game- they were going to pass through a portal into the course, and it was a sort of last-man-standing sort of thing, everybody against each other. This did not make me lucid. Even though I had the sense that I was one of the organizers and not eligible for play, I picked out my own equipment just the same and followed them to what seemed like a grocery, with a glowing blue light (the portal) in the center. The course was supposedly vast, and one had to choose one's supplies wisely, because your game-dream body would become injured, exhausted or depleted the same as your physical one. You got one standard backpack full for the game, which would last one week. I picked out my supplies- I still didn't know if I was eligible for play, but I thought I might go along as a sort of guide if that was allowed. I was wary of the whole thing, my friends being pitted against each other in good fun. I woke up as I was making a silly intercom announcement that seemed all too necessary- a can opener is required to open canned food.

Dream 3
I was in the car with my sister, who was driving. Someone pulled up behind us in a blue sports car. They honked and hooted, but I realized the driver was someone I hate, so I instructed my sister to ignore them. She became nervous when they stayed behind us after a turn and slammed on the gas- in the dream, I was under the impression that she'd gotten her license and I hadn't, but in reality neither of us have- and we were speeding along a potholed country road. "Whoa, whoa, slow down, it's not like they'll follow us all the way to Aunt J's!" I was beginning to get a little nervous myself though, and when they shadowed us on the last turnoff before her driveway, I told my sister to try to lose them. They were disgusting, creepy people, and though I wasn't aware of any situation where they'd attacked defenseless teenage girls before, I wouldn't put it past them. When we pulled into the driveway, my heart sank when I realized no one was home. I ran to the front door and she to the back. It would be my dream luck that my door wouldn't lock. I grabbed my sister by the wrist and pulled her into my cousin's closet. The closet doors wouldn't close all the way, and we huddled staring at the crack between them.
"What do you think you're doing?"
The voice belonged to neither of the people from earlier. Two male hands pulled the closet doors apart. I can best describe the person behind them as looking like the guy in this video wearing the shirt that says "FRACK ME", only in Ray-Bans, a beanie and a checkered scarf. Old 97's - Dance With Me - YouTube At this point I got lucid. He offered me his hand and I gave him the one I wasn't doing a reality check with. "Who are you?" "Just someone sent here to help you with your little dry-spell problem." I was halfway between telling him off for that scary situation before that I somehow sensed was his doing, and hugging him. He bent and put a DVD into the player. A list of what looked like coordinates came up. He touched the screen over one set, and a window popped up. "This program'll teach you how to enter your holographic forms." I started to ask him what 'holographic forms' meant, when I got sidetracked by the fact that he'd used the plural 'forms' even though I was now the only other person in the room. I came up with another question, "Can you help me with my dream control?" "No, that's not my field of expertise. You've got a guy coming for that. What's going on with this..?!" he banged his fist on the television screen, which had gone white. I studied him. At length, I asked what seemed like the most important question. "What can you tell me about...shared dreaming?" His expression was one of, well, horror.
"Oh, no. No no no no no. You will NOT. No-" "YES!" I interjected, getting annoyed. "Tell me what you know!" He responded by opening the door, doing a little bow, and stomping out. I woke up.

Lucid dream /Tasks:

I have vague memories of sitting on a chair at a round table and staring at the ground. I remember things being somewhat fuzzy.

As I was looking, I suddenly realized that this was a dream. Everything still felt extremely fragile for a moment while I got myself fully immersed into the dream. And then, there I was.

I am unsure where this went from here. Several things happened in this dream, and I am trying to get them in the right order. I think at this time I stood up and looked around. I was in a big school auditorium. There was a small stage in the center of the room. It looked like a band was getting ready to come on and play. I could see other people (maybe 20) hanging out.

I suddenly remembered I had Tasks to do. I searched the crowd. There had to be a DV member in this crowd. I coldn't see anyone that I recognised.

I then saw some band members coming out. I thought, "This will be so easy. I'll make sure CoLd BlooDed is the guitarist." But then the guitarist came out, and it was a guy with blond curly hair.

I was beginning to feel frustrated that the DV members weren't appearing. This was supposed to be something I was good at.

The next thing I remember was being in the air spinning around. It came to me that this is the first time that I had ever spun in a dream. I was glad I was doing it, because hopefully it would help me to stay lucid even longer.

After spinning. I started flying across the room, back and forth. I then decided that I should try the Advanced Task of going through a portal. There were no mirrors in the room, but I did see a dark dark spot (about 3 feet diameter) on one of the walls. I decided to aim for that spot.

I sped up and went feet first into that spot. I was successful. It was a portal. All around me I could see more circles that I was going through. And the feeling was incredible.

I came out in another room. I had to do it again because it felt sooo good. So I started flying around the room and aimed for the dark spot that was on the wall in this room. The same thing happened. .....the continuing circles and that wonderful feeling.

I did this several times going from room to room just enjoying the experience, until I was back in the original auditorium. I looked at the walls. There were murals painted on the wall. Some were paintings from the Peter Pan movie. I could see one that showed Neverland.

I decided that I really wanted to go to Neverland. So I decided to make the painting of Neverland be my next portal. I flew again, feet first at the painting. I went through. There were no circles this time. I tried to make out Neverland. I wanted to be in the sky looking down at the island. I could see it. But the detail was so bad. It was like looking at a poorly done painting. I didn't have the feeling of actually being there.

I suddenly decided that I had done enough with portals and that I really needed to try the DV member part of the Task now.

So when I came out back in to the auditorium, it was now filled with people sitting at tables. I decided that i would make myself confident and assume that this was a DV reunion.

I sat down next to a lady at one of the tables. She looked like she was dressed up to be in a movie. She had blue make-up all over her face and had what looked like a bleached blond wig. She also had glasses, and I believe she had a bright green shirt (or outfit) on. I didn't recognise who this was. But I realised that it could be any number of DV members under the costume.

So I sat next to her and asked, "Which DV member are you?"

She answered and said "Clairity."

I said "Hi Clairity, do you know what other DV members are here?"

She points to a table and says, "Well, that's Gomer, and that's Ivan."

I felt disappointed because those were not DV members that I knew.

Gomer then stands up and comes over to Clairity and for a moment I think he is about to flash her. But he doesn't get his pants down very far before he bursts out laughing like it's some inside joke.

Gomer then starts to take charge. He is holding a clip board and some raffle tickets. He then announces that everyone needs to get a raffle ticket if they haven't yet. They are only five dollars, but this is covering the cost of the reunion and everyone who has a ticket will be able to take home an audio recording of this event.

For a moment I feel a little insecure--I have no money with me. But then I realize again that this is just a dream.

And at that moment I woke up.



Edit:

I just checked. There are DV member named Gomer and Ivan...both are lurkers with no posts. Funny how I was able to pick actual names of Members. Although with a site this big, it's not that great of a coincidence.

I had a lucid dream last night!

I actually woke up this morning about an hour and a half before I had to get up. I thought back and was frustrated when I couldn’t remember a single dream. I wasn’t feeling very tired, but I made myself go back to sleep so I could squeeze out just one dream. I usually can do that, even if it is just a short dream—and that’s all I wanted—just something that I could write down in my dream journal. It didn’t even matter to me at that time if it were lucid or not.

I did go back to sleep. And I did dream. I even had a lucid dream. The problem was that it was a very long complex dream. When I woke up, I thought, “Oh my gosh…how am I going to be able to figure that all out.

So I started by writing down all the things I remembered doing in the dream, lucid or not. Then I tried to sort them into the “before I became lucid”, “while I was lucid” and “after I was lucid” parts.

Then—I sorted through each section and put it together the way I best remembered and the way it seemed to make the most sense. And I actually think I did a pretty accurate job considering how mixed up I felt when I first awakened.

So after all that, here is the dream:


Dream:


It started non-lucid. I was following Jeff. He was walking toward the back of a building and was about to go in a side door. I remember passing a large sand castle that was by the door. I had no idea where Jeff was going, but I felt I needed to go too.

We went into the building. I believe we were separated at this point. I remember sitting in what looked like a waiting area. I remember this boy (about 12 years old) showing me some of his drawings. I then was watching something on a TV screen.

I’m not sure of the transition here. It may be that I was watching something on TV and then I was suddenly there. But next thing I remember was standing next to a large ferris wheel. People were climbing on it. There were ladder-like things to get to the seats.

Suddenly the ferris wheel starts spinning. I start seeing people falling off of it to the concrete below. I felt horrified. I thought that surely it was killing them. I didn’t want to be seeing this.

So—I decided in my mind that the people wouldn’t die. One by one, they picked themselves up off the ground and brushed themselves off and walked away. I felt much better.

Then I remember I was climbing the ladders on the ferris wheel. I was thinking, "If I were dreaming I could climb this with just my hands." --(that is something I have always liked to do in dreams—use my upper body strength and pull myself up things without using my legs). So I start climbing the ladder with just my arms. I remember it actually felt good. I could feel my muscles working but it had the satisfation of a good stretch.

Then it hits me—finally—that I actually am dreaming. Then I thought, “Of course I am—duh—it takes me long enough to figure this out.”

So I did the first thing that came to mind. I started to fly. For some reason I didn’t think about doing the Tasks at all. Instead I thought about how I really wanted to make this dream into a complex story line. I wanted to make it my story. But I decided it might be easier to start with something like Star Wars. I have always wanted to have a Star Wars LD anyway.

So as I flew I decided that I needed to be in space. And without any effort I was suddenly soaring though the stars. It was so beautiful and incredible.

I thought about how I had always wanted to do that, and I had never been able to do it before. I had read about others doing it and wondered how they managed to do it because it seemed to be a difficult thing to do. And I was so amazed how this just happened naturally for me in this dream.

I also thought about how everything was just too quiet. I wanted to hear a soundtrack. But I wasn’t able to get music going.

I noticed as I flew though the stars, that the stars seemed to be more concentrated above me. It started looking more to me like a flat ceiling. But I decided not to let that bother me too much. This was my first time creating a flight through space, and it was pretty darn good.

I realized that my next goal was to find a space ship. I really wanted to find Darth Vader and confront him. I looked below me and I now saw a white medium sized space craft. It was a dirty white with yellow and black trim. I knew Darth Vader was on that ship.

I flew to it. I knew that it I flew into it fast enough that I would fly right through the sides and end up inside. And it did.

Unfortunately (and this kills me), this is the part of the dream I remember the least. Something happened on that ship, but I have no memory what it was. But I do remember the dream suddenly fading.

I was suddenly back in a house. There was a hallway with a mirror at the end in front of me. I knew I was still in the dream. I also knew that if I ran straight at the mirror, that it would transport me back to space.

So I ran toward the mirror and was again back in space. I saw the same ship in front of me. I flew right at it. But instead of slipping back inside, I hit the outside. This time it was too solid for me to get it. I was very disappointed. Again the dream faded.

I was back in the hallway with the mirror. I ran at the mirror again. But this time, instead of going through it I bumped right into it. The mirror was very real feeling. I touched it, and the glass felt smooth and cool.

I decided that I would just run in to the wall. So I tried again. But I hit the wall. I thought, “No…no….now I am doubting and it’s not working. I have to believe. I have to believe…..”

So I took a dive and tried to go through the floor. But again my head just hit the carpet. Everything felt so real and so solid. Disappointed, I stood up. I made myself float and started doing back flips and the air. It felt really good to do those.

Suddenly I heard Jeff’s voice talking to me. I closed my eyes and then thought, “oh no, closing eyes in a lucid dream makes you wake up!”

I open them. Jeff was standing next to me. We were back in that original building. I had fallen asleep in the chair in the waiting room.

I said, “Jeff, you just woke me up from a lucid dream.” When I saw that he looked sorry, I added, “But I guess you had no way of knowing. It’s okay.”

He said, “If it helps, I brought you some ice cream.” He handed me a square container that had some cookies and cream flavored ice cream in it. It was fairly melted.

I took a few bites and was amazed at how good that tasted to me. Then I thought, “Isn’t there a reason that I’m not supposed to be eating this?” I didn’t want there to be any reasons, so I kept eating it.

Then I thought, “It’s the sugar. I’m not supposed to be eating sugar. And that’s right—I’m Raw Vegan now! I’m really not supposed to be eating this. How could I have forgotten?”

It then comes to me—I’m still in the dream! I never did wake up. I looked back in the bowl. All that is left is the melted ice cream at the bottom that is completely runny. I put a corner of the bowl to my mouth and drink the rest of the ice cream. I thought, “This is great. I ate all this ice cream and I didn’t mess anything up!”

At that point I woke up for real.

6/27/2011
I am at some sort of outdoor eatery. I am a secret agent or spy or something. There is a monastery and bones of a large animal or dinosaur. I? we? are resisting some sort of evil force in the city.

I am working for/with a king. I make a knife/dagger that has a bone handle with a sapphire in it.

I am in the dungeon or sewer underneath the palace/castle. I find some sort of portal to another dimension and go through it. I talked with many of the people there. On my way back out, I am in a strange chamber. It is flooding with lava or water. I find a strange statue and sit on it. I get some sort of hoverboard and use it to escape.

There is a usurper, protected by strange technology (a force field). We fight.
