Dream 1(fragments):

I am doing some stuff at home and then i decide to look at hands they were weird so i am dreaming, i go to balcony, rub hands. Then i take off and feel wings, as i fly i notice that background is like static texture, then dream fades out.

Dream 2:

There was story about space station and some spaceship docking there. The crew of the ship were secretly pirates and were trying to capture the station, also they were not humans but rather light-blue muscular humanoids in armor. There was some kid-engineer that was defending the station and he started talk with one of pirates and managed to talk them into going away. Then i was looking at some kind of ship log and there were some of nicknames that i used on internet logged. Then back to story, the ship flied out of hanger and there was some battle going on.
Then everything everything faded to some other place, in the skies, a dragon was flying away.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was playing some FPS game and the level was located in some ancient tomb place, i was discussing something with other player and we were talking about some science book.
Then i wake up and i realize that apparently i accidentally bit somebody and some stuff around while sleeping and there was some talk about that.

I hate these near misses. Darnit.


Saturday, August 17, 4:30 am

I only remember glimpses of my dream. Me, in some kind of space-like environment or possibly a water environment (I say this because I have the feeling that I'm floating, but everything is black. Perhaps I'm even in between dreams, as I *had* attempted to WILD before going to sleep). I tell myself that I ought to do a Reality Check, but for some reason I convince myself it can wait until later. Something, I'm not sure what (the serene feeling of floating, perhaps?) has my attention at the moment. I intend to do a Reality Check in just a minute or two. I repeat this process three or four times, and EVERY SINGLE TIME I manage to talk myself into waiting a bit longer. I never did end up doing a reality check at all. Just how deranged can the sleeping mind possibly be??

~SilverWolf~

I was on vacation, spending a few nights on a cool futuristic space station. Rather than single rooms for all the visitors, there was one huge communal bed area that was set up like a camp cabin - beds in rows on the left and right side of the room. In between the beds was about six feet of space on both sides to keep your items, and a single nightstand. So when I unpacked, most of my stuff wound up just sitting on the floor since I had packed a crap-ton of stuff. I had clothes and papers scattered on the floor. The room itself was huge, about the size of a small store. but to me I felt really snug and comfy there. As I was sleeping, there was some kind of emergency on the space station, I think there was either spies that had infiltrated the station, or a violent riot involving the station workers. One of the guides came into the communal bed area and woke everyone up and made us follow her as a group out of the area and down below deck, but for some reason nobody was scared and everyone thought it was just a guided tour of the ship. I was super comfortable in my bed and took a while to wake up before heading out with the group, then I realized everyone had packed their bags so I ran back to my bed to pack my luggage up. The group had left without me by then because it was taking me so long. I remember feeling anxious and rushed as I threw wrinkled clothes into my bag and lots of papers and notebooks, then running out after the group. I caught up with them in a big viewing area. We were all standing there looking out this giant window into space that was about 20 feet tall and maybe 50 feet wide. As we looked out the window, two asteroids came flying at us, and crashed right into the window, causing a big hole in the glass before they bounced off back into space. We didn't fly out of the window because there was some kind of Star Trek-esque force field in place keeping the oxygen in. We all totally freaked out and the asteroids started talking to us, mocking us and saying they were going to come back and hit us again if we didn't leave. Our guide scoffed and said they were bluffing because asteroids couldn't change course, so they got angry and kept floating away from the ship. We walked from the hole in the window to an elevator on the opposite end of the room, and I got in it first followed by a few other people in front of me. I felt relieved because I figured if the elevator opened up and there were spies with guns on the other side, they would shoot the people in front of me and I could just fall to the ground and pretend to be dead, and hopefully survive. Nobody shot us but Jonathan eventually joined our group at one point, and people started wondering if I had something to do with the emergency because I had taken so long to catch up with them.

I had a lucid dream, but I can't remember what it was about. In the dream, I was standing somewhere and realized it was a dream, but then the ground started shaking and I heard my cell phone ringtone vibrating through the sky as loud as a jet engine, and suddenly the whole dream shattered like glass and I woke up. Sure enough, my phone was ringing and had ruined my lucid dream! I answered it and talked on the phone for a while, but by the time I'd hung up, the whole lucid dream had escaped my memory before I had the chance to write it down.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was doing some stuff at home and then i decided to nap and i had dream where i was on sofa floating in space and there were lots of pokemons around playing some game with a ball, most of them were not from actual series though, including two huge red and blue dragon-like ones. Then some dude appears near as well, watching too. Then i wake up and there's some problem with cactuses and something gets stuck in my finger.
Then i wake up again and look at hands, they are kinda weird, so i am dreaming. I get up and rub hands, balcony door is apparently blocked by bed and some garbage so i jump through window. I go through glass just fine but i get stuck in curtains, dream destabilizes. I wake up and have very vivid HH where i look through window and buildings are moving and transforming that lasts a good half of minute.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was switching between playing and discussing some zombie games with someone, which looked like oldschool Resident Evil games. Then there was something about the nest of some queen, which made weird organic pod things, which hypnotized people that looked at them and turned them into zombies on touch. Then i was continuing with zombie games and i was thinking about choice that affected the ending.

Dream 3:

I was playing some shmup and i was on some stage where i was going through some kind of abstract place, with various shapes and abstract enemies as well. The weapon of my ship was somewhat similar to Fossil Maiden from Hellsinker, at least, frontal and sword attack were the same, but different directions activated some different firing modes, backwards activated double homing missiles. At the end of the stage there was some forest and some metal plates were falling from the top of the screen like in Solid State Survivor right before boss.
Then boss battle started and background switched to some tech complex. Boss looked like some mecha-bee thing, probably inspired by Hachi from Dodonpachi, it had various attack patterns that were synced to the music, can"t recall most of them sadly, but i remembered that i fought it before(It was not fake memory i am sure, but maybe actually different dream that i forgot), and i remembered most of his attacks, so i knew good spots where to dodge them and where to safespot, i was doing really well considering attacks were really hard and was not getting hit and was thinking that i should record it, then i remembered that there's replay feature and stopped worrying. Boss started using lots of blue lasers and fight started becoming more 3D, then i was actually in the game. Boss activated pattern where he was sweeping lots of blue lasers across the arena along with lots of projectiles all around, i went for really dangerous semi-safespot behind the boss and barely managed to not get hit. Then boss activated pattern with homing missiles and i realized that i don't know how to deal with this pattern using this playership. But then i switched to my own homing missiles and they started intercepting boss's homing missiles on the way. Boss was on very low hp and i was going to do perfect run through all attacks, so i tried to use missiles as little as possible to not do too much damage. Then as boss reached 0 HP, dream ended.

Very very rough pic of the boss that i made after waking up: http://i.imgur.com/bI8ymqP.png

Dream 1(fragments):

There was some hybrid of forum game and video game, at least at first, i and some other dragons were protecting some city from massive amount of enemies. Then later, it fully went story mode and i was in game itself, we were infiltrating in some techno base together with some female hacker, who was helping us dealing with security systems. Then after that back at town i was talking to some soldiers and enemies returned and i had to protect some little girl.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was on some kind of space ship/station.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was playing some AoE/AoM based RTS, except with different units that looked like some kind of aliens. I was playing 1v1 vs AI on very small non-symmetrical map, and while playing i was also chatting with SilentEternity. He was talking about that this game has some really overpowered worker units and messed up trading system. The map had mostly mountains and related resources on south-east, along with my base and forests on north-west along with enemy base. On trading system, it was giving bonuses when two town centers were linked, but there was no limit, nor difference on distance other than they had to be near different resources. And the bonus trading gave was rather huge. As for workers, small squad of them could deal with armies of normal units apparently...

Dream 4(fragments):

Snowy city at night, searching something, some rather interesting story(which i sadly can't recall).

1. A guy who looked like my old elementary school teacher Steve (again?!) proposing in a coffee shop.

2. Looking up at the sky and no stars. (Hard to explain)

OH quickly, write down details!

Moon rising fast, pole with bucket, climbing pole with bucket, star party, venus, questionable reality, hills, cousin's backyard...

Ok that should be enough. Sorry, I just recalled a dream I had tonight, had to write it down fast. So.... here's the full thing:

Length: ~ 1 hour
Type: Non-lucid


It started out in my cousin's yard. Their house wasn't there though, the only thing there was a pole with a bucket, I climbed up it and swung around in the bucket. The people that were there with me, were:
My neighbor Jerry and one of his hillbilly friends
My brother (who didn't enjoy this)
My mom

We were in the middle of what Jerry likes to call a "star party". We basically get out at night, take some homemade telescopes, and go right ahead. We were doing that for a couple hours when I started thinking "Man its getting late, this will ruin my dream recall, but its worth it!"

Yes, I thought about dreaming in a dream.

After that the one most memorable thing we looked at was a globular cluster. I had seen the exact some one in waking life, and it looked the same.

Then the sun started to rise. Well, not really, but when the sky turned pink-ish the Moon began to rise. Only it raised very fast. I think this is because I had watched a time lapse of the Moon rising before I went to bed, so it was in my mind. None the less, I began to question the reality of this all, but then dismissed it (I should've done a reality check god damn!). After that...

The dream ended.

This will be short as I don't remember much. I had just finished reading a book "Ender in Exile" that I found in my closet. It belonged to a series I read when I was younger, and I have fond memories of the first book. Anyway a big theme in that book is a diluted passage of time in near-light-speed travel.

The part of my dream I remember was towards the end. I was on a space ship on some task to a far away world. I had just had the realization that by the time I arrived, everyone I knew would be long dead, and maybe already was. What made this dream so memorable were the feelings I experienced. The dread of never seeing a familiar face again, but also the wonder and excitement I was going to find when I reached my destination. I was very sad and relieved at waking up.

Sorry for the short post and lack of details. This was 3 nights ago and I didn't write down much when I woke up, so I've forgotten almost everything aside from the emotions I felt, which were amazing.

Hello all, tonight I had a very long dream, so it might look more like a novel to y'all.

Anyways, here it is:


MEMORABLE
Length: 1 day
Type: Non-lucid

It started out in a house, all the cupboards had tar in them. I wanted to take a shower, so my mom told me to get the shower ready. I pulled cleaned it out and everything, and there was a door inside the shower. I threw the curtain out, and on it, it had clouds, it was like a generic sunny sky, on a curtain.

After that I went walking around town (it felt like we had moved), I found an airbase and walked towards it.

*I'm not sure what happened, I think I don't remember the transition, but maybe its two dreams? I dunno, anyways I skipped over time*

Two grown men that looked like they were miners were standing in front of me, one had blond hair, the other had short stubby black hair. The one with the blonde hair was holding a birthday candle, I asked him why, and he told me the rules of the place: "Before we go on our flights, we have to light a birthday candle with the number of the flight on it, then give it to our partner, if he can't light all the candles in time, I get tortured"
I was confused in many ways, but before I could ask, his partner quickly took it and lit all the candles. The blonde man let out a breath.

Then they held me a candle, I turned around and there was a girl behind me, she looked like she was in high school or something, they told me she was my partner.

And no, I did not. Don't ask me about that.

I struck a match on the cart we were standing around. Put it on the candle and then gave it to her. She tried to light all of the candles, but she failed. I looked at the men in front of me and they just looked back at me. I didn't dare to look back at that girl. The track in front of me (behind the two men) split into two. Two soldiers came down each track and grabbed hold of me.

*Memory blindness*

I was looking at two men. One to my right looked like he was on the end of his line, and the one to the right looked fresh out of College. The old man held the younger one a candle with the number "8" on it, and he said "This candle will be the end of me". The younger one said nothing with a look of despair on his face, and he quickly lit all candles. The older man looked relieved. I had a candle with the number 9 on it, I handed it to my partner, and she lit all candles this time.

*Memory blindness*

I was flying in some sort of plane, it was a sunny day with a few clouds in the sky, and I was pointed straight up. There was a radio in the cockpit and it cracked, a voice on it said in a muffled tone "There's a-uh hole in the clouds, go ahead up on it" I amused that was what I was pointing at, I suddenly warped upwards into space, with stars and the moon to the right. I started to question the physics of that little maneuver. After I did that, I woke up.

My ranting:
I have had two dreams that are fairly long, and this one long extremely vivid dream, within two days. I think my dreams are getting better by the day, and now I will stop focusing on dream recall, and start focusing on becoming lucid in those dreams.

Sweet dreams.

My favorite game's name is Kerbal Space Program. Its where you send little green men into space. I dream about it sometimes, and this time it felt as real as anything.

Length: ~1 hour
Type: Non-lucid

I started dreaming when a countdown was happening, I looked around and I figured I was in a spaceship of some sort. The dream then skipped to where we were in orbit around the Earth, and coming in to crash into another spaceship of some sort. I started screaming and pounding on the ship. The person next to me looked kind of like a James Bond type character. I started thinking about that, it seemed strange, and then that woke me up.

Advanced Task ii - Find an ocean and go parasailing.

I was attempting to V-WILD when everything started to spin. It felt like I was on a roller-coaster! It felt like my body floated up to my ceiling and then was crashing down into my bed. This went on for a few minutes when it finally stopped and I found myself climbing a tree. I didn't even realize I was climbing a tree until a branch cracked and I fell to the bottom. Ow..I definitely felt pain.

It took me a moment, but I realized I must be dreaming. I remembered trying to V-WILD, the spinning, and I somehow ended up here. I did a reality check and confirmed that I was dreaming. I looked around and saw an array of pine trees spreading in every direction I looked. My goal was to go parasailing and that's what I was going to do! I assumed I was on an island and expected if I kept walking I would run into the ocean.

Sure enough, a couple minutes later I saw a small, dirt beach with the waves crashing against it. The ocean was not a natural color. It was a BRIGHT, bright Turquoise/Cyan. I saw a couple boats floating about and teleported to one. The driver fell out of his chair and looked at me like: xD

"Let's go parasailing!" I said

The driver pulled out a parasail and hooked everything up. It could fit two people but none of the other two passengers wanted to come. I sat down and strapped myself in. Then the boat just went full speed and I shot into the air. You know that feeling when you're in an airplane with the engine running loudly and then it becomes a little quieter and you have a sudden feeling you are going to fall? That's exactly how I felt strapped into the parasail. It somehow managed to stay flying and the wind was rushing in my face.

I kept rising higher and higher. The boat looked like an ant to me and as I looked up I could see a puffy cloud about a foot away from my face. I reached out to touch it and it was surprisingly warm. Someone touches my shoulder and I quickly look to the left to see fucking Edward Scissorhands grinning at me. My dreams sometimes... He bends over and slashes the rope tying us to the boat. The parasail stops going forwards and starts to rise up like a balloon!

We rise into space and by the moon I can see Saturn. I tell Edward to get us over there and he somehow steers the parasail (if you can even call it that anymore ) to the rings. Basically we start go-karting on the rings of Saturn xD.

Anywho, the dream goes on for quit a while after this but I don't feel like typing it all up. Quick summary: we end up finding life on Saturn (even though it's a gas giant in real life, it wasn't in my dream), turn into wizards, and use magic to add more life on Saturn. We create a forest and basically build a whole bunch of homes up in the trees where the people of Saturn could live and that's about it!

I was flying around in an undefined spaceship and everything was much like in a X3 game. I went to a special sector where something interesting was said to happen and the whole sector was filled with fancy things like special shaped colorful moving micro-nebulas and a lot of things that behaved roughly like the physics in Antichamber. There also was this huge in weird colors glowing weapon flying around, close to one of the mentioned micro-nebulas. At some point I went to one of those chambers and then I was outside my ship (no special equipment needed), I and some other people where watching the everchanging effects until I started interfering with them, and then they took on more and more shape, until eventually a small keyboard appeared. I played on it and there were several distorted mirror like versions replicating the same accords that I played.
Eventually I got to see something hotel like and in perfect Antichamber manner just stepped into that place, it looked a little rustic. On the frame of the big entry door was a small sign with 4 words "X Club la Forge" (I don't remember what the X was, but I think it was 'To', as in 'To Club la Forge'). Somehow I was really hyped about that (La Forge by the way definitely refered to Geordy la Forge from Star Trek) so I went out and somehow had Data accompany me there, it were just a few meters. Something about Club la Forge made me realize I was dreaming, like "damn it's the Club la Forge, I must be dreaming!".
Inside I tried to start stabilizing softly with taking in all the details of my surroundings. I was at a table where a beautiful girl was sitting, maybe she was representing my girlfriend but I'm not sure. She tried to talk to me but I heard really loud music and couldn't hear anything else, then I just had the weird idea of taking my smartphone and turning down the volume, which surprisingly worked though not completely. She waved me to her so I brought my ear close to her and heard her talking, she said something about efficiency but neither do I remember what she said, nor did it make sense to me. Then I unfortunately already woke up.

This was my 60th lucid dream.

So, I signed up for the DVA Dreaming Competition and as soon as I did, I hit a strange dry spell, lol. I just broke out of it in a huge way though.

Non-lucid Dream #1
First up, a quick summary of a normal dream I had. I was playing in the alumni football game and for some reason, I wasn't starting (this would never happen . We were back on defense and I told coach, "I'm going in now whether you like it or not." He said, "That is all we ever wanted to hear." I went in and nobody as wearing pads. The other team was composed of elderly, nursing home patients. It was flag football and the most boring game ever. I remember being mad that I had paid 100 dollars to play in this game. I woke up at some point and realized how ridiculous this dream was, lol. I attempted a WBTB WILD, but ended up losing consciousness real fast and failed the WILD. I was just too damn sleepy. Anyway, now is when it gets interesting...

Non-Lucid Dream #2
Nothing interesting here. I was talking to one of my buddies about the upcoming alumni football game (yeah, A TON of my dreams have had this theme lately).

Lucid Dream 502: Master of the Environment
Series: DVA Dreaming Competition, Episode 1
DILD
Technique: ADA



I can't remember hardly any of the first part of this dream. I was on the porch of an old farmhouse. I had just walked out onto the porch and there was a guy with a huge cartoon-like hammer. As he was swinging at me, I instantly became lucid for no apparent reason. He struck me several times with this ridiculously proportioned hammer. I did the slow motion, evil eye, turn toward him and said, "That won't work on me!" I thought about beating the guy up, but I immediately remember my tasks for DVA Dreaming Competition.

There were several wide, solid pillars connecting the porch base to the overhang above. I pushed my face up to the nearest one and slowly walked forward. I phased into the pillar. As I entered the pillar, the insides resembled a mesh net. The mesh slowly snapped apart, string by string, as I passed through it and then reconnected behind me. I had never paid much attention while phasing before and I thought this was pretty bad ass. After passing through the pillar, I proceeded to the next step of my task. I looked around me for some familiar faces and found that Mike and Diddy were with me, as they usually are. They had been in the early non lucid parts of this dream as well as the my non-lucid from earlier. I was expecting to seem them and there they were.

I spoke, "You guys ready for some chaos? Come watch!" I looked into the sky which was bright and sunny with only a few clouds in the sky. I raised my hands and began swirling the clouds and moving them across the sky telepathically, using my hands to guide them. As they swirled the wind began to pick up. I started saying, "Faster....faster...faster" in a real dramatic manner . The wind picked up to hurricane-like levels and the sky had grown stormy looking. There were mass amounts of orange and red leaves swirling around me at ground level. The collection of leaves looked much like a crackling fire as they spun around me with great speed. I then grabbed the darkest cloud with my mind/hands and did a splitting/breast stroke motion. The cloud cracked open and many jetstreams of dark black smoke erupted from the cloud's crack. They shot all around the sky, level trails of the dark smoke across the sky. I used my fingers, naturally assigning each finger one black smoke jetstream, and began shooting them all around the sky. It was quite the spectacle.

I decided that maybe the intense wind wouldn't count as element manipulation, so I did the same motion to another dark cloud as before (breast stroke motion). This cloud burst into thousands of small black sections and rain began to fall. I thought the small black sections of cloud kind of resembled bats. Suddenly, I noticed that they WERE bats. There must have been thousands of them. I began bursting every cloud I saw like this and they all turned into swarms upon swarms of bats. The rain became heavier and heavier wioth each burst though I wasn't getting wet at all. Soon the entire sky was black because there were so many bats and I had run out of clouds to burst-transform. Mike and Diddy had been making comments here and there the whole time, but they weren't important enough to remember. I used my mind/hands to send all the bats over the horizon. It was like a huge shadow moving across my environment as they passed over our heads. I now had an overcast sky to work with.

I stuck out my finger between my vision and the clouds high above and began a swirling motion. The clouds began swirling in a tight circle. I then slammed my hands down to the ground and a tornado formed and quickly touched down. I noticed that I was now on some kind of college campus and all the students screamed, "Tornado!" and took off running. I decided to not cause any destruction, because of the storms in OKC I suppose. I just split the tornado into two, creating two tornados. I then swirled up a few more in the sky and kept splitting them. Much like the black smoke jetstreams, I used each of my fingers to help guide my telekinesis. I was moving these massive twisters all around the campus all at once. They moved perfectly with how I wanted them to move. I shouted to eveyone, "Its ok, they are harmless." The college students slowly calmed down and began to enjoy the twisters. They were jumping in them and I was speeding up the twister in bursts. This caused the students to be sent flying across the sky. After a few moments, people were flying around and swooping into my tornadoes and getting launched into flight. There were probably 100 people flying around and doing dream related activities. I acted like they were all lucid dreamers as well. This reminded me of finding Ctharlie in my dream. I turned and told Diddy and Mike that we needed to find Ctharlie.

I looked around my environment and there was a mountain in the background. Half covered by the trees of the mountain, I could see the palace from Aladdin (Taj Mahal ?) sticking up above the trees. I told Diddy and Mike, Ctharlie is up there in Aladdin's Palace. Before I could take action I felt myself starting to wake up. I didn't bother trying to stay in this dream, I just prepared to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 503: Ctharlhie and the Palace
Series: DVA Dreaming Competition, Episode 2
DEILD



I felt myself wake up during the transition and I was very aware that I was in my bed at home. It took an unusually long time to transition. I thought I had failed at one point, but decided to just wait it out. I still felt I was laying on my couch, but something feltt different. I decided to open my eyes and take a look (my dream eyes, that is). I was in the exact same spot from the previous dream that I prepared to DEILD. I couldn't see the palace anymore, but I knew it was there. I shouted to Mike and Diddy, without looking behind me to see if they were actually there. I shouted, "Follow me!" I took flight toward the mountain, but as I did, I noticed a powerline off in the distance. Suddenly, I was close-lined by a powerline that came out of nowhere. I grabbed it and began swinging. I told Diddy, "You gotta play around on them for a bit or you won't be able to get passed them. I swung for a few moments before landing on the roof of a nearby building. I could see the mountain/my destination off in the distance, but there was now and intricate web of powerlines in our way. I strategically looked around the powerlines for an opening and I found a gap large enough to pass through. I leapt off the building, focused on the gap and made it through. As I got closer to the mountain, I could see the palace sticking up over the horizon. To my surprise, it got bigger and bigger the closer I got to it. I landed on a flat area of the palace walls. Diddy landed there shortly after me. I ran to the closest door and entered the palace. It was laid out like a fun house more than an actual palace. There were tons of obstacles, like balance bridges, monkey bars, mirrors, and other crazy things. I began calling out, "Ctharlhie?" As I traversed through the many obstacles and expecting to see someone around each turn. Finally, after climbing a short wall, I noticed a person standing with their back to me. They were wearing blue jeans and a green tee-shirt. It was definitely Ctharlhie, but there was no human head there, but the green head of Cthulhu, very similar to your avatar .

I began talking to Ctharlie like we had met many times before. We talked briefly, but can't remember exactly what it was about. I then said, "Show me what ya got!" Me, Diddy, and Ctharlhie began showing each other different parkour-like tricks using the many obstacles in the palace. I was doing the "ninja warrior cliffhanger" on as many ledges as I could find. At one point I tumbled over a small nearby wall. I then phased back through it to get back to where Diddy and Ctharlhie were. Ctharlhie said, "You gotta show me how to go through walls like that!" Diddy chimed in with a, "You are in luck. Yosh can do all kinds of crazy shit like that." I then showed Ctharlhie that you just press your body up against the wall and slowly push through. I stated that it will feel like you are passing through a real thick liquid. We did that for a short time and then began exploring again. We came upon a large bar and I got an idea. I took off running and slid down the full length of the bar. As I slid, the bar became longer and longer and filled with more and more glasses, bottles, mugs. Instead of realistically breaking/knocking over the mugs, they exploded cartoonishly as I collided with them. I could feel the beer splash against my face, but I never got wet. This sliding reminded me of the "Slide on Saturn's" rings task, so I decided to go outside.

At that time, I heard a car door shut and I looked out the window. I saw people in the palace driveway. I asked Ctharlhie if they were friends/family. Ctharlhie replied, "Huh? I don't live here. I was just exploring." Diddy said, "Shit! We gotta get out of here." I played along and said, "Ok, follow me!" I dove head first out the window and entered flight, but someone grabbed my shirt tail and cartoonishly pulled me back to the ground like a rubber band. It was the chick who own the palace, which was now just a normal house. I don't remember what she was saying as I wasn't paying attention. I felt myself starting to wake up. Again, I didn't bother trying to stay in this one, I just got ready to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 504: Skiing Amongst the Stars
Series: DVA Dreaming Competition, Episode 3
DEILD



This DEILD transition was great. I was excited to go to space and try to slide on Saturn's rings and during the transition, I found myself flying through space as the song "Faded: played in the background. Its the song that says, "I'm faded...faded...faded...my (brotha) I'm faded...faded...faded..." stars were flying by me as I approached random planets here and there. I wasn't in the dream fully yet, I was still transitioning and my HI was this space experience. I flew by several planets and wasn't really able to control my path. One planet had a huge craters and mountain ranges on it that formed a weird looking clown face. It was incredible because it didn't look cartoonish at all. the mountain ranges, craters, and dips in elevation on the surface of the planet created an uncanny clown face. I admired it for a while and noticed I had completely transitioned into the dream state.

I was floating around with the stars. I saw several planets in the background, so I flew toward them. As I got closer, they remained the same size. By the time I reached them, they were the size of tennis balls. I grabbed the planets and began juggling them. After a short bit of this, I continued searching for Saturn. I saw cluster of planets that seemed to be just floating randomly and not in any sort of orbit. As I got closer, I noticed one of them was Saturn. I got excited, but immediately caught myself before getting too excited. I performed a nose pinch RC, took a deep breath and calmed myself. I then casually floated toward the planet cluster. These were much larger than tennis balls. They were about the size of those really big medicine balls. I stepped on Saturn's rings and I could tell it was slick. It felt like I was standing on a solid sheet of ice. I got my footing and stood still for a moment. I crouched down in a skii position and slowly began to slide on my feet. It got faster and faster until I was orbiting around the planet by skiing on the rings. By this point, the planet was about as big as a small garage. I leaned left and right as I circled the planet and it felt like, what I'd imagine skiing is like (i've never been before). After a bit of this, I realized I couldn't stop because of the momentum and slick surface, so I just flung myself off and tumbled into space. I began free falling, faster and faster into an abyss of darkness. I then suddenly woke up in my bed.

This dream wasn't fooling me though, I was far too lucid for that. I knew it was a false awakening. I dove headfirst out of my window and took flight. I landed in my yard after flying for a short time. I decided to try and go back into space. I jumped up and grabbed the gutter of my house and pulled myself up on the roof. As I did this, another level of roof appeared on my house. I jumped up and grabbed that edge and pulled myself up. I did this about four times before my roof stopped growing along with my climb . I looked up at a crystal clear sky that was full of stars. I threw my hands out, super man style, jumped, and began to ascend. I could feel the cool air rushing passed my face as I ascended. I made it back up into space and was floating around again. I couldn't see any planets or anything. There were nothing but distant stars around me. I felt 100% cut off from everything, like I was in an endless abyss. I started to feel fear and freaked out a bit. I felt myself waking up, so I quickly shook off the fear and prepared to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 505: Cosplay Festival
Series: Meiseki na Yume, Episode 3
DEILD



This transition happened very quickly. I transition back into the dream state and noticed that everything looked like it had high quality video game graphics. I stood up and saw that I was in an unfamiliar building. There was a stack of blocks in front of me that said, "POW" on them. I punched the blocks in a very mechanical manner and they exploded. My movements felt very robotic, much like a really crappy video game would feel. I opened a nearby door and exited the building. I was now in a normal realistic setting. I was at the top of the hill on a neighborhood street. Diddy was with me as we began walking down the street. I told him I wanted to have some sort of anime dream. He told me he was down, so I explained to him how to have one. I told him to just walk down the street and pretend like we are anime characters in an anime world. Soon we came upon a restaurant and there were completely animated 2D characters eating in the outdoor area of the restaurant. It was pretty cool as they were in a Cowboy Bebop style animation. They were the only animated DCs though. There were tons of other people walking around on the streets, but they weren't animated. It seemed to be some sort of festival. The DCs slowly began to change into cosplayers. I noticed brightly colored hair first. Soon everyone had colorful hair and some were wearing costumes. The costumes become more and more elaborate until everyone walking around was in full blown cosplay.

Most were just random concoctions of anime features, but some I could recognize. We passed a chick who was cosplaying Misa Misa (from Death Note), another was Yoko (from Gurren Lagann), and a group of guys who were cosplaying the entire cast of Kuroko no Basket. I started searching for a mirror to see what I was dressed as. I couldn't find a mirror, but I started looking at myself in the reflection of store windows as we waked down the street. With each window we passed I added something to my costume and slowly transformed myself into. A lot of it was added by the dream itself. I made a few minor tweaks by imagining something I wanted to add to my get-up. I was dressed as a Shinigami from Bleach. I had a long black robe that also had an equally long black cape attached. Where the robe opened up in the front, I had a white vest on. The solid part of the vest only covered my chest, but it had tons of long/thin strips that reached to my waist. The robe sleeves were tucked into long white Michael Jackson-like gloves. My hair was solid white and my skin was extra pale. It sounds a little odd, but it looked badass! I was very happy with how the transformation turned out. Brandon came out from a nearby building and was dressed as Wolfwood (from Trigun)

We ended up in a huge shopping mall area. I first found a sword holder laying on the ground, so I picked it up and decided to look for a sword. I couldn't find one, so I held the leather holder out in front of me. I then looked away from it and looked back again. Nothing happened. I decided to concentrate on the holder. I squeezed the leather over and over until I felt something solid within. I reached into the holder and pulled out a long, solid black blade. I started slicing up some clothes that were hanging from racks beside me. I put the sword in the holder and told Diddy to tie it to my back so it looked cool. He started tying, but was having trouble. It was too tight around my body. I noticed that my robe now felt tight as well. I tried to adjust the clothes, but they kept getting tighter and tighter. I now could feel that I had something tucked up under my shirt/robe in the front. I pulled my shirt up and 6 or 7 rectangular, cardboard, christmas boxes fell out. I chuckled at this absurdity as Diddy said, "Why were those under your shirt?" I replied, "Dreams, man. Who knows?" My clothes now fit properly once again, but the sword holder was still a fail. I decided just to hold the sword as I walked around. This dream was actually pretty long, but most of the time was spent walking around and looking at all the cool ass cosplay costumes. I felt myself waking up, but decided not to DEILD again in fear of forgetting my earlier dreams. I just let myself wake up and immediately hopped on here to type them up.


Series Details
"Meiseki na Yume" is Japanese for, "Lucid Dream." In this series, I take my passion for anime and combine it with my passion for lucid dreaming. Join me as I explore the world of anime the best way I know how, in my dreams! Stay tuned for more entries to the series!

This set of non lucid dreams were after a natural and brief WBTB with no supplements. I went for the MILD technique but never got lucid. My recall was pretty good considering that I never made notes in my DJ until after I woke for the morning. I used my old technique of just remembering key words and phrases to jog my memory later. I have had considerable trouble with that since I came back last summer and I'm pretty pleased with myself for getting back into my old technique. It makes those micro awakenings less troublesome with a greater chance of DEILD.

Spaceship.

Someone was going to destroy the earth. I left with a group and we were going to destroy the enemy's ship as they left earth but it turned out that they blew themselves up. Capitan Picard ordered me to activate the radiation bomb anyway just to be sure. There was a blue radius blast with our ship in the center.

Then I look at the Capitan and see he is having a heart attack. I assume there is nothing I can do and just watch him die. I notice that he dropped some playing cards that looks like they are made of thick plastic, much like Rummikub pieces. I pick them all up and see the ace of spades. I keep that one separate to hold for good luck. When I turn to leave I see some woman moving hologram images. It looks like a tournament tier for some kind of anime style fighting game. The woman asks if I want to see who wins but I decline and leave.

I enter a forcefield room outside of the ship. I have some conversation with another woman working at a computer terminal in a jumpsuit. We decide its time to leave.

I go into a glass room with other men an women. We all take out our brains and put them in acrylic containers full of some clear liquid. We have to do this in order to survive warp speed into hyperspace. I relax and close my eyes. I feel myself surge forward and then open then and we all put our brains back in. I look to the person to my right and jokingly say, "Oh no we switched brains. You're in my body." The man looks just like me and starts to panic. I tell him I am just joking and laugh.


Tornado

I am in the back yard thinking about digging a swimming pool by hand. There is a good start already and some strange ceramic pools stacked up. I think about how far to dig and remember some advice my father-in-law gave me.

Then I look up and see dark storm clouds. I watch some rotation start and I hear a neighbor shout, "ROTATION!" I watch it vividly and quickly form into a full tornado and join a giant separate tornado. I stare in fascination but remember the last tornado Joplin had and decide to hide.

When I turn around I realize I am in the trailer we lived in when I was 5. I know I don't have a chance but don't know where else to go. I run around and decide to hide in the bathroom. After a few seconds everything seems calm but I am panting and breathing hard with fear. I go back outside and only see dark storm clouds without a tornado. I wake up panting.


Funeral

I am in some place with a group of people. Most of them are black. Some famous person died and Will Smith is saying some words about him. Then we get to see a brand new music video by Will Smith in the mans honor. It sounds really hip hop style but the video makes no sense. I see some drunk celebrities on the floor looking really confused. (I can't remember who they were supposed to be) I see myself with them. I am the only one to laugh out loud at that point. I look around and say, "I remember that."

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some MOBA type game that featured fully destructable map and the theme was modern while decorations were more eastern medieval-looking. Then later in different multiplayer game i was in some castle ruins-looking place and there was hunt for the items, which were giving the points to the score. I had to climb into a few places to get items that gave more score. Then i was apparently readded into old skype group, but no one was there except for DB. We were trying to combine our efforts in game, but that was not very successful. Later i was climbing some ruined tower in search for items and also was going through some volcanic cave place.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was going through some FPS game, final level was happening in some pyramid and there was an final boss that was looking like an alien of some kind. Final fight was happening inside the pyramid and there apparently was an river and those eastern red gate-like thingies.

Dream 3:

I was playing AI War: Fleet Command and there were weird clock units that i had to move somewhere in time. Then i was attacking enemy base with my fleet, again there was time limit. At some point during the base destruction dream ended.
