I was with my friend from work, Sam. We were near my old middle school but walking away from it and towards my house. It was a cloudy day and it had been raining because the ground was extremely wet.

Sam and I were messing about. She was running and I was trying to keep up but being careful not to slip on the wet ground.

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.

its raining out. end of the world rain. this is how it's going down: this rain storm. fuck!

wait: why is everyone relaxing? i'm in a neighborhood swampy with rain, the streets are rivers.

lets make the most of it: lets go kayaking! okay. i try to decide which "kayak" i want.

really the kayak is just a long, long long 2 x 4. i take one that has native-style striping patterns on both ends and is colored a faint blue. oh yeah this will go so well in the riverstreets!

and it does. this was fun.

June 16th, 2011

I don't remember the beginning of the dream, but I'm pretty sure it was one of my sister's softball games. All I know was that my friend, Bailee was there. It was dark out and it was storming really hard, because i remember seeing "rain-devils", or dust-devils made out of rain...

But anyway... the part(s) I remember:

I was sitting in the backseat of the car and my mom was driving. We were going to Bailee's house, but I felt like I was the only one in the car. It was really dark and it was storming hard (this added a sense of chaos and urgency). I saw a ton of rain-devils. i was probably scared, but i don't really remember. Then I looked at my mom and wondered if she fell asleep. I know I was scared at this point. I kept looking at the road and then back at my mom to see if she was asleep. Even though she was right in front of me, it was like if I looked at the back of the seat I was actually looking at her.

All this went on for a couple minutes. Then, I looked at her seat and she slowly opened her eyes. It turns out she was asleep, and not even looking at the road! She didn't even know she was driving (or supposed to be)!! Then that whole scene changed and I was at some town with my sister's softball team. Bailee wasn't there. We ended up here because that's where my mom drove us to. We knew that Bailee's house was East, up the road (or atleast I did) and we were sorta on the East side of this town. It's strangely sunny and calm. There was and orange sense, like this might be earlier in the morning. We all walk west up the road. We find someone (The Mayor wearing a blue suit?) who is surrounded by a few other people. We ask him (them?) what town we're in. He says something, but i don't hear him. We walk away, back towards the car. I keep thinking I'm going to have to drive (we still (for some reason) need to get to Bailee's house). Then I ask my sister what the Mayor said. "Farville." Then my alarm went off...

Notes...

The town (Farville) scene had a feeling of being lost, and maybe a hint of sadness. It was gloomy.

Hi everyone, I won't be adding any of my non lucids from the trip, just the lucid ones.

I was walking in an aquarium looking at all the different fish. I saw a shark swimming towards the glass I was looking in and it started slamming the glass. It started to crack and I ran down a hallway in the aquarium away from the cracking glass.

I saw someone pinching their nose in the hallway and I thought that was really weird. I remembered reading a thread about seeing people doing RCs in real life. I stopped running and did a nose pinch RC myself, believing I could breath through my nose. I could breath!

I was dreaming! I stabilized the dream. I tried to think of what I wanted to do. I wanted to go to the shared dreaming experiment but I just couldn't think of the name of the pyramid. Whenever I tried to go there it shot me back into the aquarium.

I decided to complete one of the tasks in the Task of the Year (Which I memorized) I wanted to steal Dorthy's red slippers. I broke the aqurium glass and swam up expecting to appear on the yellow brick road. I got out of the water and climbed onto the road.

I saw Dorthy and tin man in the distance skipping down the road and I ran towards them. I took over tin man's brain and made him shove the slippers off Dorthy. I made him hand them to me. I tapped them 3 times and said "There's no place like home"

Suddenly colors started spinning around me and I was swimming in a lake of.....pencils? I grabbed a pencil and examined it closer. The words on the pencil were gibberish but they were in the design of a wave.

It started to rain and the yellow color of the pencils started to wash off. The rain felt very cold and wet and woke me up.


When I woke up I swear to god I could still feel the rain and I thought I was in a false awakening. I did an RC but then the rain feeling went away.

07-07-11 I am at a bridge somewhere, it is raining heavilly and I am with a couple of people. One of them is a black man who apparently likes to play football. At the bridge he is greeted by the coach of one of the teams, it comes to my attention that one of his personality traits is ”luck” (like the sims) and for that he is prone to fortuitious events occuring to him. In the rain and darkness he slowly turns his head to one side. I am expecting to find a tatoo that will indicate that he has been in the same army unit as the coach greeting us. I don't find it, but due to his personality trait the coach påerceives it and asks him to join the game, not as in watching it but actually playing it. We somehow communicate with one of our white mates (Not that skincolour is important to the plot of the dream, though I am trying to identify if I have any colturally inherited biases from my parrents, who would be described as borderline racists, hence I try and pay attention to these clues when I can) who is a mixture of happy and pissed off that this particular guy always get these opportunities.
…

I am in Hornslet, in the street where the baker and old bar is. I am with my parrents and agin it is raining. We are packing up tents. I have a silent battle with my dad about who is better at this particular task, though I sense no hostility.

Notes: Though I don't remember how I turn lucid in the latter dream it is possible that it is a further development from one of the above. They all share the dark rainy atmosphere, though I don't remember which occured first. I do however remember a period of wakefulness in the morning, where I think about how long I have to sleep before I have to wake up to go traveling. It is possible that I have done a DEILD without really trying it, though I did repeat my MILD mantra in the morning wqhile awake. I also did this prior to falling asleep, though not with much ferocity.

08-07-11 I am lying in the bed, much as I am in waking life. I am moving slightly closer to ida until she starts laughing at me. The reason she starts laughing is because I apparently am making hand movements playing with my erect penis. It take me a while to wake up from this seing as I have dreamt about her and I tell her this and the fact that I haven't actually know I have been doing it. She laughs a bit more. And tells me I am doing it again. I have no idea and asks her if she is sure. She is. She decides that it is better to just come closer to me and lie in a spoon, which I am really happy about, I start stroking her body all over and notice that she is really soft, also I wonder why she isn't wearing a top, cause I am sure she weant to bed without one. I am happy cause I dared not ask this, due to ilness and was not sure I would be coming on too strong.
…

I am in the same room and there is a brunette next to me, I believe it is ida, though as soon as we precede with the rather rough intercourse I believe it to be Anna from my study.
…

I am with a blonde in a bed, she doesn't really wanna fool around, but end up wanting to give me a blowjob. She does so while the door to the room is open. I am not really feeling anything and wonder if I can get time to ”help her out” while she is not around. She ends up goong over to the door to close it a bit or at least look out and see if there is any immediate danger of us getting noticed. She thinks not. I notice it is Per Engholm standing outside and he is discussing with my granddad on the mothers side, who appears to be the hotel manager. I see him later fully dressed in a referee's outfit and he is gonna brandish out a couple of yellow cards to my gran as he has done something super illegal. This gives me time to get my blow job resumed, though as it turns out I aint all that up for it anymore.

I took the kids to school and decided to try the Drop and roll technique or whatever its called lol

I'm in a house, there is a Jamaican lad there, i am waiting with my eldest daughter for my hubby to come home, he came home at one point but then he went again , i ask her where he went and she says she doesn't know, anyway another man comes in , he has a dark complection and long blonde hair, i look at him and for a minute i think he is my hubby, i say "what you done to your hair" ((didn't even mention his skin colour had changed)) he says "its always been like it" then i realise he's not my hubby!! This man was like a king or something in Jamaica and he was throwing a party, i went to the door and lots of people all came into the house, i say "look there all coming to see you" they go outside and i follow them, there is lots of food on tables, i look and see small pieces of bread and can see ham on it i'm hungry and take some and eat it, it was nice, i said "heres some ham ones" i look at the others, its like cracker stuff with black stuff on it, maybe fish or something and something else mixed with it, i try some and it tastes bloody awfull. I go back inside and i say to my eldest "there is a party outside you coming" she says "it's not our party were not allowed" I take a gulp of horror and feel bad and sit down. The king bloke stands infront of me and says something, i chuckle at him as he is funny and say something back, a woman by him says to another woman "fancy talking like that to someone as important as him" by this time he is now bald, i look and think "knackers to ya" he walks past and sings and i chuckle again, i get the feeling he likes me and doesnt mind how i speak as he himself is down to earth. We are now in the garden and i see some dogs, a large white one, a large blacky-brown one, and 5 small white puppies, i walk to them and try and stroke a pup but the brownish one , the male, snarls at me and bites my hand, it didn't hurt but scared me. I back off and he keeps snarling so i move away.
((DREAM SKIP))
I am in bed, my eldest is trying to wake me up and suddenly i see her under the duvet with me i jump and say "what you doing here" quite amazed she got in without me knowing, she giggled and says "i don't know" ((DREAM SKIP))
I am back in the house and there are some more puppies, they are black and i pick them up and hold them, i feel very safe with them, they are very loving and enjoy the attention, the big black one comes along ((the mother i suppose)) reminds me of my Ellie ((our dog that died a few weeks ago)) she cuddles me and she feels just like her and i give her a big cuddle and stroke her and give her pups back to her. ((DREAM SKIP))
I'm lying in my bed and have my eyes closed, i could hear crunching noises mixed with some other odd noises and i thought i was still awake trying to get into SP, ((not sure if i actually woke for a few seconds or was still in a dream)) i felt a spinning sensation and twisting, i then remember what i have read on DV about rolling out of your body into your dream body, or rock forward and backward, not to physically do it but imagine yourself doing it ((only read about that last night)) anyway, i imagine rocking back and fourth, i could hear real crunching noises as i tried, very odd noise, i then stop, open my eyes and sit up, I hold my nose and try to breathe and TADAHHHH!!! I can breath, it is the weirdest feeling ever. I can hear like pots etc. claniging about downstairs ((i now feel my body in bed and quickly divert my mind onto my dream so i don't get pulled out..very odd feeling lol)) I get up and make my way down, i pass my daughters room, i see a small purple coat hanging from a blind in her doorway, i touch it as I pass, i can really feel the material. I turn and make my way down the stairs , i look down and can see beautiful crafted wooden frames at the bottom, they are all around the ceiling area, like small wooden windows, the detail is amazing i can also see the sun rays through the glass making it shine.. I remember thinking "maybe this is what it will look like in years to come" I carry on down and get to the bottom, I look around, it is alot bigger than my house, not like it atall. I need the loo so i make my way to look for the toilet, my eldest came out of a room to my right , it looked to me like the kitchen area, she looked at me and begins to yell out "ohh my god, its my cousin" i giggled inside and thought "yeah, sure i'll go along with being your cousin" I really did think this was soo funny. she hugs me and i say "look i need a wee" she looks at me with a serious face and says " you can't go" i then think to myeslf "shit to what you say, its my dream and i'll go where i like" I look at her and say "ahh, thats ok, i'll just fly up into the sky and take a piss there, no one will know" She opens the door and i walk outside. It's night time, and it's raining, i look up to the dark sky and put my arms up like superman and push myself off the ground, up i go, it's amazing, i had my wee and chuckled to myself about it I then land on a path, i look to my right and see 2 ponies, a white one and a brown one, one was a little bigger than the other ((these were in a few dreams i have had now and have spoken to me before)) they were standing on a corner just watching. I look up again and see lights, big blue ones hanging from a piece of wire, i decide to take a swing on one, i fly up to it a little and hop on..i begin to swing and get aroused from the feeling of it between my legs, i thought "i'mnot waisting my lucid having an orgasm" so i jump off and land on the ground. I decide to take a walk, i'm a little chilly and wet from the rain but i don't care ((never thought to change the scene..dohhhh!)) I decide to fly again but this time don't get very far, it is like a crash landing!!! lol, I decide to keep to my legs for now. I'm walking along a wide path and pass a few houses, the dream is very clear but for the hell of it i rub my hands together and call out "CLARITY NOW" The dream stays as it is but my voice is echoing, i don't like it and don't know how to stop it so i randomly call out "STOP ECHOING NOW" lmao then i say "echo" and it is still echoing, i then was back in bed, i can hear the crunching noises again and feel the spinning sensation, i concentrate on it but it goes then i wake up. Not sure if this was a WILD or a DILD anyone????

This one surprised me a lot, I really wasn't expecting my ex, Chelsea to keep showing up in my dreams. It's probably been 3-4 weeks since I've had a dream about her, and 2 years since we broke up

It was raining, though everything wasn't as grey and washed out as it normally is when it rains in my dreams. I was outside, on the fields at school (actually the field from my primary school). Apparently, I'd put some kind of post on facebook the night before, and the popular group tore into me for it, but I didn't understand what they were saying. I was walking along, about to go to class and trying to get out of the rain, when Chelsea approached me.
"Hey, Alex?" I was shocked.
"Are you alright?" I was confused, because a) she was talking to me, and b) she was genuinely wondering if I was okay. I looked at her, and memories I'd forgotten for a long time came back in one giant wave. She seemed just like the person she used to be.
"Yeah, I'm fine, why?"
"I saw all that stuff they said on facebook last night"
"Oh, yeah, my facebook messed up and I never got any of that"
I was so confused, I wanted to ask her why she was talking to me, if we were friends again, but I didn't, and I just walked away. I left the field along the small path that led to all the classrooms. A lot of my friends were on the field, looking at me strangely, I didn't want to talk to anyone and walked faster, holding my folder above my head as though I just wanted to get out of the rain. Why is she still appearing in my dreams? Perhaps she has something to do with the brick wall.

I continued to the woodwork rooms, where we were making wind turbines. Flynn and Paul were making a really accurate version for the school to present, but I wasn't that worried about the assignment and knew I didnt have to do it to that level of detail. I briefly questioned why we were making wind turbines - when we did that last year, but quickly dismissed the thought. Mr D and Mr P brought us over to talk about the new wood they had just got in which was supposed to be some sort of excellent wood, but it was actually just chipboard and plywood, which confused me briefly.

I panicked, as I realised I had forgotten my folder, and I must have put it down on the field in the rain when I stopped to talk to chelsea. I went outside to search for it, and I ended up in some kind of stall sale for the school, though it was located on what I think was a street in the inner city. It was raining heavier now, and I stopped to talk to a teacher explaining that I'd lost my folder and was going to find it, when I noticed it on the ground. I picked it up and walked inside.

This dream was really long, and very vivid. It seemed a lot more chronological than most dreams I have. My dreams are getting better, and I'm noticing things that are odd a lot more, but I've still been dismissing them. I'll start to pick up on them soon for sure.

It started in a field with a group of people.

I see a door and a porch sitting in the field not attached to anything. I am the only one who can see it, and I can not see it very clearly. I go and open the door and as I enter it seems as though I am walking into nothingness to everyone. As I enter, the inside is clearly a house made completely of hard wood. The door closes behind me and I feel the room begin to shake. I assume the house does not want me there.

I turn and look out the widows to see a vision of the past the house is giving me. I see a car wreck with a school bus in a terrible rain storm. People begin running the injured, bleeding teens inside the house in a frenzy, but it seems like none of them survived.

The world returns to how it was, and I understand that the house is sad about the tragedy that occurred there. I let more people into the house (for reasons I don't remember). One of them ends up being a crazy ghost hunter that continually tries to get the house to react.

He has a large, shallow, yellow, rectangular, wooden tub filled with water. He starts to flick the water onto the floor, and draw pictures of rain that he hangs all over the house. The house begins to shake more and more violently and I try to stop the ghost hunter. I tell him that he is freaking out the house by reminding it of the rainstorm the kids died in and he should stop before the house turns on us. He didn't believe me. I try to reason with him about how he should listen to me since I was the only one who could see the house and I soon start yelling.

That's when I wake up.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dark Car Ride:

I was walking to my friends car after school was over. It was parked in a new lot that I don't remember the school having. By the time I got to it, it was raining extremely hard- and it got extremely dark out (but its not like it took a while to ever get there).

His car was brown and really beat up, in the dream. I got into the passenger side and he started to drive towards the exit. He has to drive overly slow so he wouldn't hit anyone. For some reason, his car lights weren't on. As we got onto the main road, the dream started to go completely black.

The dream went black and I jumped into another dream.

Saucy Muffins:

I was in a new dream, still at school, walking towards the gym. I reached into my pocket and realized that I only had $2. If I wanted a muffin for lunch, I would had to get it now before they were all gone (which is true, all the muffins are gone by lunch, and they are $1 each so in the dream I was planning on getting two). I walked down to the cafeteria and it was really dark outside now, although it was bright when I was walking to the gym. I went in side and asked the lady where the muffins were. I then asked for a plain one and pointed to a chocolate one. She gave me the plain one and then she gave me this weird looking one that had pecans on the top. She started to pour this sauce over the top of it. I'm really disgusted over how sugary it looks. I said "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but I didn't want that one". She said "Oh ok, just tell me whatever you want I can get it for you.... Anything....". I replied "I really just want the chocolate muffin".

End of dream. I can't remember if I woke up or what happened.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I just remember a lot of fragments of this dream, and mostly the house.

I’m standing outside of a stone house, it’s raining, and the dream looks so detailed. There is a large, picture window in the middle of the house, with one normal sized window on each side. The stone house is on a little road with lots of green over hanging trees on a cobblestone road that is about 50 feet off of the main road- that is also cobblestone.

I’m in England on vacation. I walk in side of the house an greet the person I’m going to be staying with. I guess I rented a apartment instead of a hotel. The person inside is nice, and shows me around the house. He tells me how everything works, and I remember him showing me how the TV worked.

I wanted to try boating in England, so the next thing I knew I was on a lake (it looked a lot like a lake in New Hampshire that I have been to a few times). The lake is extremely crowded with boats, and there are a lot of islands on the lake, too. I remember that my boat is low lying to the water and it could easily sink. I’m going around pretty fast on the lake and then someone yells at me “Watch out!” then they tell me via telepathy that there are some sharp rocks up ahead that are right on the surface of the water. I slow down my boat because now I’m pretty scared of sinking or flipping it.

The funny thing is, right before I went to bed, I was talking to a friend about swimming in lakes and how I would hate swimming in the middle of the lake and looking down. Its just darkness and I would hate to get pulled down or something.

I can see the rocks on the surface. They just look like they are floating right there. I hit a few of them, but manage to keep the boat going and get back to land.


I think about going back to the house, then the next thing I see is that I'm standing outside again. I go inside and I just handout with the person and talk. He mentions something about how "You never should have moved to America". So I spit back "I wasnt the one who moved". I remember that the conversation started over American and its separation from England.

The dream suddenly ends and I go on to another dream (that I cant remember).

April 13, 2011

Notes
Went to bed at midnight, woke up at 5:30 am. Got up too quickly, forgot dream, started to get ready, remembered dream again in shower. Another dream about my dog Riley who is back at home with my grandparents until we move back. Motifs of rain, cold, unwanted responsibility, failure, strange adventures and travel. Typical dream for me.


Entry 001
I am in a classroom, but really it is more like a kitchen than anything. Big industrial sinks line one wall of the room, big floor length windows line the other. Despite all the windows, it is unusually dark, and no one seems inclined to turn on the lights. One half of the room, the one I stand in now, is the one with all the sinks and the other half is just bookshelves and an assortment of pillows and beanbags scattered over a large, plush area rug. There is an old fashioned type blackboard at the far end of the room. The bell rings. Burell comes to me and tells me I'm not to go to the pillows/beanbags part of the room today because, since I'm a good student, he has a special task for me. Some other students drag in two big plastic storage containers. The first one is filled with grey, soapy water and the second is filled with... naked mole rats.

Burell tells me they're class pets and he's trusting me and the other students to wash them and get them settled. I start to wash them in the soapy water, but for some reason that hairless skin becomes incredibly slippery when wet. Several slip out of my hands and fly across the room, scuttling behind desks and disappearing forever. I'm disappointing Burell. Feeling ashamed at my performance, I go to catch some of the loose ones. They all evade me but for one which actually jumps into my waiting arms.

I leave the school. My mom has Riley, my dog, with her. After enduring months in some horrible kennel for pets being sent overseas, she's finally with me. I take her up in my arms and we go "home". Home turns out to be a hotel. We're travelling again, and my parents are away on some other business trip, leaving me and Riley the hotel room to ourselves. The hotel is grand, with victorian decor and distinctive red striped wallpaper.

With Riley still in my arms I walk though the store in the hotel's lobby, but I'm only doing this out of courtesy. I'm bored. It's already late, but I don't care. I take Riley with me and, against the advice of the concierge, leave. There's this truck outside towing this kind of large metallic cage. Apparently this is some kind of bus/temporary shelter for homeless and impoverished people. I get inside with my dog. It's freezing. I feel depressed. I bring my big blue jacket in close and zip Riley inside with me, her head laying on my chest. I pull up the fur hood, sit down on the floor and rest my head against the bars of the cage, watching the world pass by. I realize half way through that, for some reason, I have no pants on. The cold is biting.

By the time I get off back at the hotel, it's very late. As soon as I enter the hotel I'm scolded by the head concierge, a severe looking woman in black pencil skirt, matching blazer and tight bun that I've acted inappropriately and that the police are coming to give me a fine. If I don't pay, I will be arrested. Somehow, I'm apathetic. I go to the parlor, curl up on an old armchair and watch the grey sky outside pour down in sheets.

I awaken.

Falling, Jen, Mirrors
Method WILD
Lucidity B
Vividness B
Control C
I was in bed, trying to fall asleep, not really trying to WILD. I start to have hallucinations and I just enjoy them for a while. Then I have that "wait, am I dreaming or awake" feeling. So I imagine myself falling through the bed. I have found this to be the most reliable method of transitioning into WILD.

So, sure enough, after a few seconds, I fall through the bed. I'm falling through darkness with a few flashes of white light surrounding me. I think Hmm, what should I do? The last time I was falling in a WILD I just kept falling for like 10 minutes. I recall a recent goal: summon Jen and tell her I'm over her. Jen is my ex-girlfriend. But I'm thinking too much and not paying attention to the dream. I snap back into my bed and become conscious of my body. Time to fall again.

I re-enter the dream, again falling through the bed. This time I imagine landing somewhere. After a few moments, I land inside a building. It seems like a hotel. I'm in a hallway dimly lit by lamps. An old woman is leading me through the hallway toward a room. We enter a room with impressive double doors. The room is mostly dark, lit only from the lamps in the hallway through the door. I notice a bed and an set of drawers with a modern look and bright orange paint. Strange.

I turn and say goodbye as the women walks out the door. I remember I was going to summon someone. I step out into the hallway and shout to the woman: "I'm expecting a guest. Could you show her in when she arrives?" Confident that will work, I step back into the room. I try the light switch, but it doesn't work. Oh, right. Of course. I think I should just leave the doors open to let the light in. I turn to and see that the double doors are now made of glass. I catch my reflection in the glass. I try to look at it more closely, but then I see a girl walking down the hallway toward me.

The girl walks in. It's not Jen. She has long black hair and is wearing black jeans and a black coat. She has an obnoxiously large purse on her arm. She is short and a bit frumpy. Her face is definitely not Jen. I smile politely and she smiles at me. Maybe I said something but I don't remember. I turn her around and gesture toward the door for her to leave. I turn away, looking around the room, as if to give the dream a chance to try again. I notice a mirror in the room and walk towards it to see my reflection. I catch a glimpse but again become aware of a girl walking into the room.

The next girl is also not Jen. She is very tall with dark hair. She is wearing a dark top but only a tiny black thong for bottoms. And she has knee-high black boots. I admire her long legs for a moment, mesmerized. I snap out of it as she walks up to me and puts her arms around me. It's still not Jen. I am a bit annoyed. Then it occurs to me that this very tall woman might actually be a transvestite. Not a pleasant thought. I'm knocked out of the dream and back in my bed. I'm still in sleep paralysis so I try once more to fall through the bed.

And once again I am falling. All black with flashes of white light. I think to re-enter the hotel scene. But I land in a room that's quite different. It's dark and still. Some light comes through a large window on the wall. Outside, it is raining with flashes of lightning. The room is ornately decorated. It's hard to describe. Imagine a study or library in an old castle but slightly more modern. I walk across the room and catch my reflection in the window glass from a distance. I look older. I'm dressed in a nice gray suit and I have a neatly trimmed beard. I look pretty sharp actually. Is this me in ten years? The reflection in the window flickers with the light outside so I turn to the wall where I see a mirror. I look closely but don't see much because it's dark. I look more like my usual self, with no beard. It looks like I'm wearing something over my head covering my ears like headphones.

I lean in until my face is right up to the mirror. I still struggle to make out some detail. I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Then I feel that I'm being pulling to the mirror. This could be interesting, let's see where this goes. I'm pulled into a dark tunnel and seem to fly for a bit into the void. Then the dream fades and I wake up.

non dream - lucid - non lucid

My dreams start getting more vivid again, even though I'm still quite stressed and I don't have enough time to sleep properly.
I didn't believe that my dream recall would improve before I have more free time, but I am very happy that it seems to do so.


I am walking through the city. I become lucid for no apparent reason, I just know that I am dreaming.
For some reason I feel the urge to use some form of dream control.
I look up into the sky, there isn't a single cloud. It is a very nice day.

I point my right hand at the sky and command it to rain with my mind.
It starts raining, even though there are no clouds.
The DC's around me realize what I have done and become pissed.
I don't really care about them and just start dancing in the rain whilst creating background music for the dream.

I am quite impressed how easily I can control the dream, it is so stable.
Some DC's approach me with an angry look on their faces.
What do they want?

"Go away."

All DC's around me cease to exist. This is an intriguingly good feeling.
I should probably do something more productive though, even though this is a lot of fun.

"Excuse me."

What the hell?
I turn around. There is a women standing in the rain. Didn't I just remove all DC's?

"Hello friend, what brings you into my dreams?"

(I have no idea why I feel the urge to talk like this, but it is not the first time this has happened.)

"I'm sorry, I do not mean to intrude."
"It's quite alright."
"I need your help."

I look at her closely. I'd guess that she's in her late 20's, maybe early 30's.
She has natural curly red hair and very dark eyes.
I approach her with confidence.

"What is it you need help with?"
"There is darkness within me, darkness which I cannot face alone."
"I need help Hyu, I need help facing this darkness."
"Do we know each other?"
"You do not know me, but I have read many things about you."

I feel the sudden urge for an adventure.

"Lead the way, friend."

She opens a portal, using the hand flicking trick I have used before.
I find it somewhat impressive, then again, why would she not know?
I form an energy shield around myself and follow her through the portal.
Somehow I just understood that using a shield can prevent some of the portal trouble I have encountered before.


We are in a very big room. It looks absolutely amazing.
The architecture is absolutely blowing my mind, everything is so detailed.
It is a blend of old japenese, victorian but also futuristic design.
The neon-stripe lighting and the heavy usage of glass gives it a bit of a Tron-look but for some reason it blends very well with the older elements.
The windows are very colorful, like in Christian churches, except the drawings are clearly not religious.

I realize I'm getting distracted. I follow this women over a marble path.
There are doors to the left and right of the path, but they don't lead anywhere.
There are no walls or anything, just doors.
I get the impression that I am in the dreams of this women and that she created all of this.

"This is highly impressive!"
"Do you like it?"
"Absolutely. Have you created all of this?"
"I have indeed. I'm an architect, I have let my inspiration run wild for a few weeks, and this is what I ended up creating."
"Wow, this is really impressive, so you can create persistent scenes?"
"Yes. If I want to keep a scene I save it behind one of these doors."
"Wow... I'm speechless."

She seems to be very experienced with dreaming.
She laughs.

"Says the guy who can step through the fabric of space."
"I'm an architect, this is what I do, it's not really that hard for me."
"I see..."

The marble path ends before another door, but this one is very different.
All other doors were white stone with beautiful carvings, this one is pitch black.
There are many Japanese seals attached to the door.
I've seen them in manga before.
Some of them look very recent, others slightly older. All the older ones are destroyed.

"This is where I have sealed my nightmares... the darkness."

She sealed them away? I didn't know anything like that was possible.

"I can no longer contain them, I need to face them and destroy them."
"I have no doubt that I will manage to destroy them, but I am too afraid to face them alone."

I was wondering how I could possibly be of help to someone who can do all of this.
But I suppose this makes sense.
I power up and draw a protective energy bubble around us using my phoenix wings.

"Let's do it."

With a wave of her hand all the seals disappear and the door opens.
There is nothing visible inside, it's just darkness.
But even though I cannot see it, I can feel it, VERY clearly.
Fear emits from this room, just pure fear.
The women starts shaking.
I grab her hand.

"You can do this."
"Yes... SHOW YOURSELF!"

The yelling was unexpected.
A ball of pure darkness comes out of the room and hovers in front of us.
She grabs my hand strongly and I reinforce the protective bubble even further.

"BEGONE DARKNESS. I HEREBY CAST YOU AWAY FOR ALL ETERNITY!"

Her voice is very powerful, I can feel it resonating in my body.
She then speaks some sort of incantation in Japanese which I cannot understand.
The darkness catches on purple fire and disintegrates before my eyes.
As the last bit of it disappears, the Door that was housing it turns into ashes.
How impressive!

The women drops to her knees.

"Are you alright?"
"Yes, now that the darkness is gone, I truly am."
"Thank you for you support young dreamer."
"You're welcome."

She summons a small engraved stick of wood and hands it over to me.
It is immensely detailed and very beautiful.

"A gift for your troubles."
"Thank you!"
"I am very sorry, but you must leave now."
"Oh?"
"I don't usually let others into my dreams, please understand."
"Of course."

To be honest, I don't, but it would be disrespectful to say otherwise.
If these are truly her dreams than she deserves privacy whenever she so desires.
I draw my phoenix wings and prepare to teleport to Teraluna.
I feel that I am no longer welcome in this world, I will not be able to visit it again once I teleport away.

"Goodbye friend."

I step through the fabric of space and the dream ends.

Recently my web host (who I am good friends with the founder) got attacks from a client of Limestone Networks (the company didn't do it, one of their customers did) and when I talked to him about it over chat I started seeing Limestone Networks ads all over the place due to Google adWords user targeting. Kind of ironic, but oh well.

I think that's what inspired this dream.

Limestone Networks dream
Only one I remembered for the night. Bad recall. My family was staying at a HUGE fancy hotel! It was all made of marble.

Here's a description: From the front entrance with multiple glass doors you enter a humongous right-left symmetrical marble room. 4 stories high or so. The second floor is in the back half of the room while the third and fourth are elsewhere, only visible because of little balconies sticking out into the main room. There were a bunch marble benches on either side on the first and second floor. There's two sets of stairs about 50 feet ahead of you maybe 15 feet wide each, at 30˚ angles. They go one story high, to the second floor in the back. These stairs are separated by a balcony in the middle that extends from the upper base of the stairs horizontally to the lower base. Here's a horrendous, literally 30-second example of what I mean: (click to enlarge)

I can draw better. Much better. But it's getting late and I don't want to spend too much time on this...

Anyway, the building was cool. My family was staying on the left side of the building in a room on the 3rd floor which had a balcony sticking out to the big room. It was a very nice hotel! At some point I became very, very, very faintly lucid. I realized I was dreaming, kind of, and that I could do what I wanted.

I walked downstairs and saw Limestone Networks was having a meeting. A man was speaking to about 40 men and women. They looked distressed. I had to walk around a few people as I went down the stairs. I knew their business wasn't my business but, out of curiosity I wanted to hear what was going on so I slowed down my pace. Apparently Limestone Networks was having severe financial problems. Several people were crying... They were going to go bankrupt. I felt really bad for them. It seemed like Linmestone Networks employees were a tightly knit group of friends... I wondered how they could afford so many ads yet they were going bankrupt, but I brushed the thought away. I kept walking and went through a door.

I saw my friend Ryan and decided to use my lucid powers to have an Avatar race with him. We changed into Avatars and climbed up floating mossy rocks. The best Avatar music with the chorus singing was playing somehow. It was really awesome! Eventually the Avatar world faded back to normal life. We were outside. It was dark and raining. The dream was becoming increasingly negative. I could see less and less. Ryan vanished. I was alone in the mud. I saw these slimy monster things with huge mouths. I was worried, but not scared. It was becoming harder and harder to go on. I tripped and fell. I could sense monsters coming for me but I couldn't see anything! I thrashed around hoping it would drive them away but it woke me up.

I was still moving so I jumped out of bed. I was startled a little but not scared at all. It was about 4AM. I went back to sleep shortly after, which doesn't usually happen after nightmares. Somehow I wasn't very scared in that nightmare.


Glad to have a dream, especially a lucid one, even slightly, after all this time!
