    1. An unusual transition

      by , 03-07-2015 at 11:22 PM
      After a DA:O-based scene about pleasantly passing time with Zevran, I have a false awakening and go lucid in a much less pleasant setting: a college dorm where people are being influenced in their sleep by some sinister mental voice - I could make out his tone but not his words. My initial intent was to investigate this without letting the source of the voice realize I was immune to his influence, mimicking the behavior of his victims, but I approach a stone wall surrounding the building and decide nah, I'd rather just leave. I fly over the wall with some slight resistance which I think of as coming from the source of that voice, unwilling to let any of his prey escape.

      This takes me down to a river surrounded by great grey boulders, leading down to the sea; as I follow the river it becomes filled by creatures similar to dolphins or porpoises - but incredibly ugly. I'm still feeling a sort of dragging effect from the scene I'd just left, resistance to moving further away; the water and open air feel refreshing but the animals' ugly appearance reflects some negative feel that's still affecting the dream.

      There's a song in my head, and I choose to focus on the song instead of on my surroundings - an upbeat dance song from the 60s. I begin to see a music video that goes with it, though not vividly, more like daydreaming, still firmly aware of my surroundings along that river. I'm thinking this could be an interesting opportunity.

      The music video has a wipe transition effect, like a clock hand sweeping around, and I focus on it - and now the music video has changed scenes from a dance hall to a boardwalk, and I've transitioned with it. I'm observing the boardwalk from above, 3rd person, with no more sense of that river with the sea creatures, or of the general feeling of unpleasantness from the past few scenes. I'm surprised that worked. It's unusually unvivid, though, still about the quality of a daydream; I wonder if I'm waking up. I shift my perspective, now standing on that boardwalk in the 60s, with a row of brilliantly colored pinball machines off to my right. That's much better.
      I drop back to non-lucidity for two more scenes.

    2. LUCID: Superman Pose

      by , 08-23-2011 at 01:52 AM (The Dream Magic Experiment)
      I was travelling. I was on what looked like a cruise boat with Rob and Sarah. We're heading somewhere. Manila?

      Then I was with Lizette, at night, in the airport. A driver. We tried to catch up to the train.

      Afternoon at home, with a wonderful garden, and then a couple of pools. One is wide and deep, with various sea creatures and plants. The other is a small one, with a few creatures and plants.

      Morning. Woke up in the limo with Lizette, in an unfamiliar place. Lizette then said we have to hurry because she has to buy the ingredients to cook our meal in the Bacolod marketplace. I then thought that there's a marketplace called Bacolod in Iloilo. We got down and took a ride on a trisikad (pedicab). It was too heavy because there are too many people. The others went down, so we can ride. Bhebs was there.

      We arrived. I tried to pay, and found only one P20 bill. Then it multiplies each time. I took one and gave it to the driver.

      We arrived in the home and the colors and the sheer unfamiliarity of the place made me lucid.

      LUCID:

      I realized I was in a dream. Told the two women there I was dreaming, and they were simply indifferent. I looked around. It was bright yellow; not the usual dull yellow I experience in non-lucid dreams. I observed, and rubbed my hands together to stay lucid longer. I saw a small mirror, and found blue, gooey stuff between my eyes. I took them out. Then my eyebrows are sharp and connected. I saw my right nipple, on the bigger mirror of my room inside our home, and it was wide, with what looked like outgrowth of the same color. I looked down at it.

      I tried flying, by jumping up, but I only ended up a few feet up in the air, and through the 2nd floor. I saw the 2nd floor. I went down. I also tried opening the eyes of a sleeping woman.

      I went out of the house, saying it's too stuffy. I rubbed my hands as I went out to make sure that I stay lucid. I keep telling myself to focus. There were three words in my mind about focus, but I forgot what they were. They keep interchanging, like how things are when I start to fall asleep.

      Afternoon. I ended up in what looked like the Eras Station, but it was wider, and looked more like a plaza. I jumped, but still stuck a few feet up in the air. Then I sensed my feet as if it's still flat on the floor. I thought that it might be because my real body is stepping on something. Then I raised my right hand in a Superman position, and curved my feet, and then I flew.

      Night. I flew up the tin roofs of squatters, almost hitting the roof. Still need to take more control. There were other people flying, and they were talking to me.

      Lost lucidity.

      I landed in a squatter area. there are tin roofs that were turned into walls/gates. One was opened, and there are people playing computer games.

      I was at home. I was in the other room. I accidentally disconnected the internet connection. Sister was in my room, using the computer, and asked when the internet will return. I told her in a minute. I reconnected it. There are people outside the window.

      NOTES:

      - I slept from around 2 or 3 pm to around 9:30 pm. I was extremely well rested.
      - I slept around 12 or 1 am.
      - I completed all sets and subsets of the Tattwas right before sleeping.
      - I woke up once in a while.
      - I decided I will LD.
      - I had almost no RC the whole day, except just remembering it before sleep to LD.
