    1. Summoning attempt

      by , 01-30-2012 at 11:40 PM
      NON-LUCID LUCID

      Identification: (No. 78) Summoning attempt
      Time Recorded: 9:00, 31-01-2012
      Genre: Ordinary
      Character(s): Gavin D.
      Method(s): Mantra
      Lucid: Yes (DILD)


      I am sitting in my bedroom, at my desk, looking at a series of written messages on a single sheet of paper. For each paragraph there is an illustration on the right, of a lady dressed in 3-century-old clothing, from various angles. I somehow realise that I am dreaming and become lucid. I stand up from my desk chair and walk towards my door, thinking about what I should do. I get the impulse to summon someone. I look away, thinking to myself that someone will be there when I look back. I fall on my clothes drawer and lie there. I can hear Gavin's quiet feint voice, calling my name. I believe that Gavin is going to come here and wake me up. I start to loose the dream, so I try concentrating on the dream again, but it is too late.

      And now for something completely different. I'll increase production quality in the future. This was just a proof of concept.

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID






      She looked at me longingly, as I stood from my seat, the crowds still pouring into the stadium around us. Smiling lovingly, I reassure her: ”It’s alright. I’m just leaving to have a bit of fun. These kinds of gigs don’t really appeal to me.”

      Like the dear she is, my girlfriend understands immediately and returns my affectionate smile, ”Go on, then.” Finally, with her blessing I take to the air, gliding up, above the crowds, out to the mountaintop. Rich, sapphire skies and lush, emerald trees rise to greet me as I leave the dark, grey, architecture of the stadium below me. I land in the arena for the previous event, a large, rectangular area paneled with planks of polished cypress and other beautiful grains. Briefly, I think back to the highlighter duel, and it’s laser-tag-like shenanigans, but it doesn’t take me long to start having a different kind of fun.

      Whipping out a deck of old yu-gi-oh cards, I summon myself a Blue Eyes White Dragon, and sure enough, one appears before my eyes in a brilliant flash of swirling light, but this is no hologram. It’s as real as I am, I muse in wonderment, approaching the beast with an outstretched hand. He, Yes, he, accepts my challenge for control and allows me to jump on his back. Without warning, the dragon ploughs forward and leaps off the mountainside, throwing us both into an ever quickening plunge. I hold on for everything I’m worth as the ground below rushes up to greet me. Yet, I have nothing to fear, for the dragon is as controlled as it is deadly. Before the two of us can become a single, red smear on the rock-face, the diamond-eye’d beauty opens it’s jagged, almost crystalline wings. We’re flying.

      What follows is an exhilarating journey, through clouds and rolling plateaus covered in picturesque, jade grass, stone windmills and thatch cottages. It’s all I can do to keep my grip on his smooth, armored back--especially traveling at such speeds--but I manage alright. My reward is the experience of a lifetime: surreal, exhilarating, yet strangely calming. In this moment, I’m at peace with myself and the dreamworld around me.

    3. Trip to the Dream World Academy

      by , 01-14-2012 at 02:39 PM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I was in a big town that reminded me of London. I did a reality check and got lucid. I flew around for a little bit, then remembered that I want to go to the Dteam World Academy. I flew up to the top of a brick building and jumped from it, melting through the ground (something I've always want to try ), into a void of darkness. I opened my eyes and saw a light. I walked towards it, it was the entrance to the academy. When I went in it looked a lot like an average elementary or middle school. The classrooms were color coded with signs, math, history, etc., but I couldn't find any classes related to lucid dreaming. I went into the gym where there was a lot of kids on mats doing push ups. I talked to one of the teachers.

      I asked him if this was the dream world academy. He told me it was, and then told me some dumb joke about his hair. I asked another teacher, and he said it was, also. I decided to explore a bit. I walk to the end of a hallway and appeared back in the town I started at, in a parking lot. I asked a lady walking by if she knew how to get to the parts of the DV academy that contain magic classes. She told me that although I was inside the academy, the only way to get to the lowest floors was to get sick and tell them that you wanted to go to the lowest floor possible, which is where the infirmary is.

      As much of a load of crap as that was, I deduced to try it. I went into a taco bell and tried to order a taco, then I would claim I was sick and have them take me to the lowest floor of the DVA. I ordered it and as the lady was giving me my food, she gave me a wierd look. I grabbed the bag but she wouldn't give it up.

      "Ahh! Money! Of course..."

      Stupid DC's. I tried reaching into my pockets but found nothing. Then I said "Oh, I always keep it in my back pocket," reached into my back pocket and pulled out a huge roll of money. "keep the change," I said. However, I woke up after that, so it wasn't much good anyway.
    4. 29/12/11 - Meeting fOrceez

      by , 12-29-2011 at 02:50 PM (Nom nom nom, Mmmattelicious...)
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Good morning! Finally had a little bit of lucidity, and I got to meet my teammate fOrceez. Didn't do much, but I guess I completed two tasks, one is describing him and the other meet him.

      02.00: Sleep

      08.00: Tennis and school
      *I'm playing tennis with someone I don't know. There's no net though, but we both imagine one being there. The balls go all over the place and I'm getting my ass kicked. One flies off and lands nearby an older guy playing. He picks up my ball without looking down and starts playing with it. I let him have it and take out my spare ball. I'm getting more and more frustrated as I'm being played. Suddenly I miss the ball all together and it disappears behind some pipes. I find it and head back. A ball from the other people comes bouncing and I grab it.

      The older man who took my ball before starts whining. "This is my ball, you took it from me before!" I tell him angrily. We start an argument, he's being a stubborn prick. After a while I agree to let him have it, only if he plays on the other side of the court. I know why he's being stubborn. "You won't go anywhere in life if you don't stand up for yourself and take what you want, right?" I ask him. "Yes, precisely!" he tells me and goes back to play some more.



      *I head through the doors to my school, I check the clock on the wall, it's a few minutes over six which means I'm late, but I don't care. I've already gotten my math's grade. I look around the common room and find two of my friends there. They've got a table each filled with Warhammer 40k figures. I look at them and recognise them as another friend's. "He lent me them" the guy tells me. The other one has a book open, I walk over to him and ask him which ones he's going to play with. "How about these? Thousand sons, they're cool" I tell him and point. "Nah, I haven't decided yet" he says. "Matte! Come on, you're going to miss class" someone calls out behind me. I look around and my teacher is standing in a doorway to a classroom. I walk over to her and head into the classroom. I check the clock on the wall, it's one minute before striking six. "Hah! I'm not late, awesome" I say out loud and head for my seat. Two cops in dirty uniforms are sitting nearby. 'Uh oh, I hope they're not looking for me...'

      08.00: WBTB 5 minutes

      12.20: Work
      I'm at work, a coworker, Christian, is talking to some high shot. "We need to enclose this area with fences, you can't have it like this" he tells Christan and me and points at some electric cables. We take a walk to a road. "Here we need to dig to see what's underneath" he says and points at a speed bump. Somehow the tiles and stones are removed and we're trying to heat the ground underneath. "Hold on, let me try" I say and reach out with my hand. I use weaves of fire just like in the epic series "The Wheel of Time." It's not ground but some huge metal tower on the side, buried in the dirt.

      The metal doesn't seem to react to my weaves. I focus as much as I can and by now the metal should be glowing white, but it's dark. "No one can use this much power except me, and it won't even heat up" I say. "Check this out, I'll use the same amount on something else." I reach out my hand and heat up the big metal wall next to us. The top of it starts to melt right away. "Oh well, we'll have to discuss what to do" the big shot says and leaves us. I start talking to Christan, who looks a bit sick. "Are you okay? When are you coming back to us man?" I ask him. "I'm just here for a single job" he tells me. All of a sudden two people rush by and into the construction site. "Hey! Stop!" Christian yells after them. I can't be bothered.

      Christian takes off after them when I realise they're carrying a big light green bag. 'Oh shit they stole his measuring instrument!' I run the opposite direction to make sure no one else steals anything. I arrive at the place his instrument was at, a laser is lying on the ground in pieces. I pick it up and assemble it again. I pick up some other stuff lying around and put it back in the bags. Christian shows up panting. "They got away" he says. "Oh man that sucks..." "Yeah, my personal stuff was in there too, my phonebook and all." "But why did they run that direction? Wouldn't it have been better to run like up into that forest?" I ask and point. We start laughing. "Yeah, any way other than towards the construction site would have been better." My tongue starts feeling big, a common dream sign I have.


      12.20: Bus
      I'm on a bus with a few friends including Monica. We're all the way back in the bus and we're just talking about random things when an old lady infront of me turns around a bit and I recognise her. "Grandma!" I say. She turns around more and I realise it's my other grandma. "Don't you recognise your own grandma?" she asks me and laugh a bit. Infront of her is another person who looks just like my other grandma. "Wait, two of the same? How does that work..." I say and start thinking critically. I can't figure out how I can have two grandma's on my mother's side at the same time. The dream fades.

      12.20: fOrceez is weird DEILD?
      I'm left in the void but visualize the bus again and all of a sudden I'm in the front of the bus. Monica is next to me. "I'm dreaming!" I say out loud. "Yeah you are!" Monica replies with a big smile. The bus stops at a mall and I get out. "Forceez!" I ask out loud. "Yeah?" I hear behind me. I turn around and a small asian guy is walking towards me. He looks very young, not older than thirteen but other than that he looks just like in his pictures. He's smiling at me. "Tja!" I say, he doesn't reply. 'Oh shit that's right, he doesn't know Swedish.' "Hey man!" I say and shake his hand. We start walking into the open marketway. "Wow you're so small" I say. "Oh, perhaps it's because I'm so tall?" "So, what do you want to do?" I ask him. "First I gotta use telekinesis" I reach out with my hand toward some clothing racks up ahead. Forceez taps my arm and points to my right. It's a clock store for girls or kids, everything in it is pink.



      "Seriously?" I ask and he nods. "Okay then." We head into the store and Forceez walks up to the wall and checks out the different watches. I realise the dream is becoming a bit unstable so I start touching stuff. I am careful not to press any buttons on the wall as I realise I'm touching their security pad. The dream becomes more stable. "Finding anything?" I ask. All of a sudden I start floating. 'God damnit, this dream was hard to stabilise!' I rub my hands and land again. He's holding a stack of boxes, I can see a sex swing set on one of the images. 'Uh, okay?' "How much for all that?" I ask the woman behind the cashier. "You know what, here" I put my wallet on the counter. "Keep it, I don't care" I say and head out the store, stepping over a box to get out. As soon as I get out the dream fades.




      Probably the reason my subconscious thought of him as barely a teen, who knows?

      12.20: Wake up

      Amount of sleep: 10½ hours

      Supplements: None


      Tasks completed
      BASIC ADVANCED TEAM

      Successfully stabilise, Basic summon, Meet your teammate, Describe what your teammate looks like
      That's it! Sweet lucid, now if only fOrceez can meet me, then we'll have loads of points for our team.

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

    5. Hallway (again) porn star summoned

      by , 12-13-2011 at 09:19 PM
      I was being followed by a group of people in full black outfits (swat style-DS) when my iphone app kicked in saying "you are dreaming look at your hands", I looked down and saw that I had 6 fingers 5 and my thumb, I took care to study them the lines on my hand and the little hairs on my fingers (as I had studied on here) I ignored all of the DC's who just ran by as I laughed (DS). It was a tad darm so I said "increase lighting" which only slightly worked so I yelled "more light!", which worked pretty well.

      I decided to stay put to stabilize but forgot to actually say "stabilize lucidity", I summoned a "porn star" to kneel in front of me for oral sex but it turned into a man as he walked in front of me, I yelled "female" and it turned into a beautiful brunette and just as I was unzipping my pants the dream destabilized and was over. DAMN

      Notes:
      CONTROL: I was surprised that I remembered the advice given on here and use the majority of it, studying the hands, & staying still to stabilize.

      DREAM SIGNS: Hallways, guys in SWAT/ Paramilitary gear following me and/or shooting at me.
    6. Chased by the police

      by , 11-28-2011 at 12:09 PM
      This is the second LD, which I remember from tonight, although it is very short - my fourth LD.

      I was being chased down a sidewalk by three cops, they were shooting at me and I realized how strange it all was - I dived behind a wall and did an RC.
      Realizing that I was dreaming, I figured they couldn't hurt me, so I tried summoning up two guns - which sort of failed.
      I looked down at my hands, and rather than holding a gun in each hand, my hands were transformed into a gun-shape and had weird colorations on them.

      I stepped out from behind the wall and fired towards the people chasing me - I completely forgot to stabilize due to the rush of trying to escape.
      I fired two bullets, one of the cops was hit in the chest. Sadly, by stepping out from behind my cover, I was an easy target and they shot at me.
      I was hit by one of the bullets and it caused me to wake up.

      I had a few other LDs that night, but I don't really remember them, so lucidity must've been rather low.
    7. A Visit to my Old Church and an Amusing False Awakening

      by , 11-05-2011 at 07:07 AM (The Lab Notebook)
      Awake, Non-lucid, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

      I'm driving through the parking lot of a shopping center, at night. There is a violent physical altercation going on in the parking lot, and it turns into a gunfight.

      I'm now riding my bicycle through a nearby residential neighborhood, where there is more violence going on. It's still nighttime. As I ride, I pray that I won't get hit by a stray bullet. I also reflect that I could be driving to my destination, which is my old church, but I like bicycling better than driving.
      [This is true.] I miss the turn to get to St. Mark's.

      I'm no longer riding my bicycle; I'm now standing in a black nothing.
      [I suspect that I might have DEILDed here, but I'm not positive.] I think of the destination I was just trying to get to, the parish hall at my old church, and cause a knife from the parish hall's silverware drawer to appear in my hand. A second later, the parish hall appears around me.

      I walk through the room, appreciating the dream environment, as usual. A lot of people are there, including my parents. My dad comes up to me and offers to give me a hug, and I accept it and hug back. All the people are there for a big reception, with a lot of food laid out on tables.

      After the reception, when everyone has left except me, my parents, and two or three other people, there is still a huge platter of thinly-sliced roast beef left over. I try to give it away to those two or three other people.


      I wake up in my current bedroom, very pleased to have just had a lucid dream. I remember to grab my phone, which is running Ev's Lucid Dreaming App for Android, and draw a star on the screen with my finger to indicate that I just had a lucid dream. I draw the star, but very sloppily, with one point much bigger and longer than the other points. I'm concerned that the program won't recognize the gesture, but it does. It displays the gesture I just drew with the caption “lucidity!” underneath it, in the same font it always uses for those captions.

      When I woke up for real, I thought to myself, You know, I bet I didn't actually record that lucid dream. The app wouldn't recognize the star if I drew it that poorly, and the caption always just says "lucid dream." I checked my actual phone and, sure enough, no "lucid dream" mark on my graph. That had, indeed, been a false awakening. I felt slightly frustrated, as well as highly amused that the app had shown up in one of my FAs.

      -------------------------------------------------------------
      Side notes:

      Wow. I'm pretty pleased with this DEILD, if that is indeed what it was, and with my sudden mastery of changing the dream scene. To be fair, though, I did change it to the destination I had been trying to reach in my non-lucid nightmare.

      I didn't realize until after I woke up that the part where my dad hugged me was day residue. On the evening before I had this dream, I hadn't bothered to get up and hug my dad when he left the house, and I had regretted it. I thought it was awfully nice of my subconscious to give me a second chance to do that.

    8. Lucid #13 Hair Gel...

      by , 09-10-2011 at 12:16 AM
      Non-Drean/Comments Dream Lucid

      29.12.2010

      I am in a place like a school. I enter a basketball court. Everyone is sitting down. I sit down too. A theatrical play is about to begin. A girl starts acting. I hear two girls giggling behind me. I suddenly feel two hands grabing me from my back and they pull me up. I am now standing. In front of me there is a woman, obviously a teacher or something like that.

      "What are you doing?!?!?!"
      "Get out!"
      "What for?"
      "GET OUT!!!"
      "I want to speak to your supervisor!"
      "Are you serious?!"
      "Very serious!"
      "Very well."

      We walk through some corridors and doors and we end up in an office. There is a guy sitting behind the desk.

      "What's the matter?"

      The woman turns a monitor on and there is a playback from a basketball match replay. The court is the same in which we were before. I can tell because it wasn't an ordinary court. I recognize a some part of the match (i don't now how, there was no match where i was sitting). After that part i don't seem to remember anything from the match i see.

      "What hair gel are you using?"
      "What does this have to do with it?"
      "Oooooh..."

      We go outside the office and i see a small counter. It's split into three parts that are named "Class A" B and C. I realize that depending on what you want to take part in, you have to use the equivalent hair gel. So in the basketball court there were both a theatrical play and a basketball match. But the members of each event could not see or interact with the the members of another event in the same place. Yeahh... riiiiight...

      "Let me ask you something... What is this place?"
      The guy looks at me. I already know... (semi-lucid)
      "...I mean except for being a dream..."
      I become lucid.
      This is not a dream..."
      "Well, it is..."

      I leave. Someone holds me from my shirt. I call him off but he doesn't leave me. I think that i should look for a E. I see a door and decide to try summon her behind the door. I pull the other guy who is holding me, with me. He finally leaves. As i open the door i just KNOW she 's gonna be behind it. When it fully opens i can she her. She's talking to a girl. She sees me and we hug.

      "How are you?"
      *Stupid smile*
      Uhm... ok... I grab her hand.
      "Come on we have to fing J. now!"

      She doesn't seem to agree and walks the other way. My vision gets blurry and i wake up.



      I managed to summon someone!

    9. Awesome, Achievement-Filled Adventure in Lucidland

      by , 08-19-2011 at 06:08 AM (The Lab Notebook)
      Awake, Non-lucid, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

      [Last night, I had probably the longest and certainly the most highly lucid dream I've ever had. I'm writing this at the end of the day. I tried to recall this dream as best I could upon waking, and I made some handwritten notes, but by now, although I remember the highlights of the dream, I've forgotten what order they went in and how I moved from one to the other. This is my best attempt to reconstruct the whole, long sequence, but some of these are most likely not in the correct order. I do remember that I consciously chose to move from one activity to another in the dream, though.]

      I’m in a large room with a really cool indoor playground in it. I observe that they’ve added more decorations and more play elements to the playroom since the last time I was there: there is now a long chain with brightly-colored wooden blocks in various shapes (cylinders, hexagons, and others) threaded onto it hanging across the ceiling, and there are more things to climb and play on. I climb up one of the climbing walls, along with another girl. We press against each other as we climb it.

      Later, elsewhere in the same room, I’m looking at my reflection in a mirror. I notice that my neck looks strange, and tilt my head back to see. I see that my neck appears to have been replaced with a shiny, silver metal bar that appears to be a piston.
      This causes me to realize that I’m dreaming. I pinch my nose to confirm and find that I can still breathe. The familiar sensation pleases me, and I'm very happy to be in a lucid dream. I have a slightly higher degree of lucidity than I've ever had before.

      I go outside the building. There is a grassy lawn outside it. I have a discussion of systems for play and discovery with MA
      [a real-life friend and colleague] and another dream character.

      I then decide to explore a bit. I walk away from the large building and head toward another complex of buildings that appears to be an elementary-school campus. As I start walking, I say to myself, “Again, why am I walking when I can fly?” So I start flying over there. I find a party in progress on the far side of the elementary-school campus, where there are some picnic tables. People are hanging out and drinking beer. I obtain a pint glass for myself, but leave it sitting around on or near one of the walls as I wander away.

      I see the entrance to a mall, and enter it.

      I fly up into the air to get an overview of the area. From up here, I can see that the town I'm in is on the ocean and has a beach. I think, That makes sense. Oceans and beaches are part of my schema for what a broad overview of an area of land should look like, because of where I grew up.

      I'm walking along a rolling dirt path. While walking, I eat yogurt out of a plastic cup with a metal spoon. It's raspberry-flavored and smooth and creamy, and it tastes exactly like real yogurt. Then, I find a handful of coins that someone has dropped on the side of the path, along with a bronze medallion. The medallion has some text inscribed on it that says the name of the country I'm in and what the medallion was awarded for.
      [I don't remember what it said now, although I could definitely read it in the dream, and the country name wasn't the name of any real country.] The coins are all common U.S. coins, but there's also a fifth coin, a brass-colored one that's shaped like a little house [a square shape with a pointy roof]. I pick all these items up.

      I wake up in a car with MA, JL, and one other friend. One of them is driving, and I'm in the back seat. I remember that I had just been dreaming, and pinch my nose. Yep. Still dreaming.

      While exploring the grassy, park-like area outside the building I started in, I spot a silver, metal, quarter-spherical shape rising up out of the ground. I say, “Ooh!” because I see an opportunity here. The structure is roughly the same shape as the baseball backstop I once fantasized about flying to the top of
      [see my DJ entry dated April 28, 2011], even though it's solid silver rather than chain-link, and it's maybe two-thirds to half the size of the real one. I take off and fly to the top of it, stopping myself by grabbing hold of the top edge of the hollow quarter-sphere with my hands and then swinging myself up onto it, so that I'm sitting at the top with my lower legs dangling over the edge. I'm facing a crowd of DCs standing on the ground, one of whom is a burly man who flashes me a thumbs-up sign. I proudly declare, “I'm the coolest kid in school!” The DCs seem to approve, but then they start flooding into the hollow space inside the quarter-sphere, filling the space and causing the structure to tip over backward. I climb off as it slowly tilts over, unhurt.

      Having accomplished both the old goal of flying to the top of the backstop
      [well, sorta] and my other goal of trying dream food, I say aloud, “Okay, chores over. Time to have fun.” I fly up and let the wind carry me away.

      The dream fades, and I find myself lying down. I try to move my arm, but judging by the feel of it, I realize, No, that's my real arm! I don't want to do that! [Whether or not this was actually true, I couldn't say for sure, but it sure felt like it was at the time.] After a brief moment of feeling stuck in that position and trying to figure out how to get back to exploring the dream world, I roll over and fall out of my bed. I think, Wow, that actually works! I quickly determine that I'm back to the lucid-dreaming state, and remind myself that all that's around me only exists inside my mind, as I read in EWOLD.

      I'm looking at a different, grassy lawn. There is a little red demon thingy growing out of the grass. He has red roots that run all over the surface of the lawn. I have a magic sword, so I hold it out, wondering if it'll help and what I can do with it. The demon takes the sword and kills himself by using the sword to sever all his roots. When he and his roots have all disappeared, a small chair rises up out of the plus-sign-shaped hole in the ground where he had just been. It is a reward for my defeat of the demon. I take the chair and carry it with me as I fly back over to the party, which is still in progress.

      When I get there, I use the chair to help me grab onto some structure to arrest my motion and land. Flying is easy, but stopping is hard, I think. I can't find the glass of beer I left there earlier, but I decide it's no big loss. I take my chair and sit down at the corner of one of the portable tables that are set up in the party area. I'm facing the outside wall of the elementary-school complex. Up against the wall I'm facing is another table with a clear pitcher of beer on it.

      There is another handful of coins on the table near me – again, standard U.S. coins, all of them shiny and brand-new, plus the odd house-shaped coins I saw before. I decide to swallow some of them, because I know I can't do any harm to my real body by doing so. I see another girl at my table doing the same. It feels good. I can feel them going down my throat, but the sensation seems to be weaker than would be realistic, which isn't surprising, since I haven't actually done this in reality
      [and certainly never will]. After swallowing a few coins, I decide I want more beer to go with them, so I get up and get myself another cup. The beer is cold and rich and flavorful; it tastes exactly how I like my beer to taste.

      I've run out of coins, but I still want more. I cup my hand, place it on the table palm side down, look away, and think about what I want to have happen. I feel little pops under my hand, like bursts of compressed air, as more coins pop into existence. Then I feel the coins themselves against my hand as the pile grows. I remove my hand and continue swallowing coins. I'm very pleased that I've suddenly become so good at summoning objects.

      My dad is sitting right next to me, at the end of the table, so his chair is perpendicular to mine. He sees me swallowing coins and absolutely freaks out. He recoils from me in disgust, asking me, “What are you doing?” I simply respond, in an “it's not a big deal” tone, “It won't hurt my dream body.”


      Then I woke up for real and waited while the last of the SP faded away, concentrating on remembering all that I'd dreamed about. I was very pleased to have accomplished so much and to have been lucid for so long. [In fact, I got to check two goals off the big list in my profile today: trying dream food and summoning an object. ]

    10. Feeling Like A Child - 11th Lucid

      by , 07-28-2011 at 12:33 PM (Dark_Merlin's Dream Journal)
      I stood in the loungeroom counting my fingers. "1, 2, 3...4 ...5... i think? 1, 2, 3.. gah this is hard! Wait - what if i'm dreaming?" my inner monologue rattled off

      I nose RC, whoa! I am! I stabilise, grabbing the wall and rubbing my hands all over it, feeling the orange peel paint texture under my hands. I look around at the loungeroom, trying to understand what's off about it. I immediately notice the books, piles of them stacked to the roof of a plethora of colours. It was messy, but kind of artistic and pretty, in a sense. I walked over to the window and looked out at the sunshine, focussing on my hearing, something I'd never done before in a lucid. I noticed the chirping of birds outside, coming in through the front door. I put my awareness into the sense of touch, and felt the weight of the clothes on my body.

      I turn around and walk out into the kitchen, observing how realistic this dream is - I didn't have a hint of my usual top-heavy feeling, I was very stable and anchored to my dream body. I looked at the counter and saw a glass, it was somewhat dirty but I figured I'd use it anyway. Instead of picking it up, I simply made another one appear in my hand. I thought about opening the fridge to get a drink when I realised - Why bother?

      I focused my intent on a drink, and found my glass half full with red, bubbly creaming soda. I took a sip - it tasted great! I thought for a moment, I should focus on my sense of taste! I increased my awareness to my mouth and changed the flavour, it became an incredibly strong, creamy malt flavour! Damn! I put the glass down and pondered what to do. I looked out into the back room and saw some sort of boxes, it wasn't my usual back room. I walked out to take a closer look, and the dream faded almost instantly.

      I woke up, and went to write in my DJ. I took it out into the family room, it was day time. I open it up and put it down on a table. It was one of my old ones, with all sorts of ruled margins and drawings of strange monsters in it. The handwriting was really fancy. "Wow I wrote so much neater when I was younger." I struggled to find a spot to start writing my dreams, and kept flipping pages - until I woke up. Should have RC'd as I woke, to avoid the false awakening.


      Throughout this dream I was in a very different state of mind - my consciousness and thoughts felt as though they were those of myself, but from 4-5 years ago, when I was first into LDing. This matches the dream journal that I recognised as my old one, though it was a false memory. I had another couple of dreams after this where I felt the same way, but they have since shifted back to normal
    11. Dream control training

      by , 07-25-2011 at 02:08 AM
      June 1, 2011
      This was a particularly cool non-lucid/semi-lucid dream I had a while back. Parts where non-lucid while other parts were semi-lucid. The dream started at a time in the past when I was new to dream control, in the dream. I mean, as part of the dream time line. I think I was walking around in some field somewhere, when a small, 8 petaled flower fluttered down from the sky. It looked similiar to a sunflower, with a dark speckled center, and orangey yellow petals. A werewolf spawned from it and woke me up in the dream. I was still dreaming, and the dream story skipped to another time, where I started to sleep again. I was being taught dream control by a sort of mentor.

      It was a she. She was teaching me how to spawn these flowers, and influence what came out of them. At first, I was afraid it would be another werewolf, but my mentor told me to expect a bunny, and when I did one hopped out of the flower I summoned.

      After I realized how easy it was, I went home to practice summoning. This section was semi-lucid, because I realized I could do anything I wanted, but I didn't want to do anything I wouldn't do in the real world, if anyone could see me. I could easily call a flower down and influence what came out of it.

      After summoning some random stuff, I decided to summon a furry to have sex with. I called down a flower, but when I summoned the furry, it came out as a hardened plush toy. At this point, my mom started to come out, and I felt a need to hide the thing. I tried to summon a tote box, but It came out as a cardboard box that had been warped from water. Using telekinesis I put the box over the plushy, and my alarm went off.

      When I woke up, I said "that was an awesome dream."
    12. 23/07/11 - Finally a fight!

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Good morning! I finally completed my set up dream goal. It's been a few months really, which is crazy, since I first thought of the idea of having a physical fight. Been side tracked by my DVA class (which is why you got to pay the price!), but I can finally put the task aside and move on to my next one: Have a fight with superpowers. Also had a few weird dreams, I was crying in all of them, guess they were nightmares.

      02.30: Sleep

      09.30: All my life, I've always wanted to be a crying gangster



      I'm in prison. This prison has alot less security though and looks just like my old school with a few fences around it, and guards everywhere. An old friend walks into the building next to us and I look at the guy standing next to me. I nod at him. It's done, we're going to kill our old friend.

      The entire dream scenario rewinds back in time. Like I'm watching a movie. I'm sitting at a table, my friend on the other side of the table, and the old one to my right. "Sign it" he says and hands me a green check. "Please! This is going to ruin me" I say and know that if I sign that check, I'm going to lose all my money. I know I have no choice really, but it's worth giving it a shot. "Just sign the check" he tells me. "Can I atleast keep one million?" I ask him, watching the ten million figure. I start crying.

      "It's either give all your money away or die" he tells me. "You'll get some back later when I've invested, but that's in a long time." I really don't want to murder my old friend, but it looks more and more like that's the only option I have. I have a sanitary mask on for some reason all of a sudden when the old friend leaves. I start talking to my friend, asking him alot of questions. I remember being in jail before, and as I'm going in again, I will be put in solitary confinement. "We have to do it" I say and my friend nods.


      09.30: Fragment
      *I spot a few old classmates. "Hey man" I say to Fredrik and follow him and the entourage up a few stairs. I want to grab a few beers with them for some reason. I greet the rest and I spot a guy I used to know. We exchange numbers.

      11.30: Taekwondo show
      I enter my old taekwondo dojo. I greet all the people there and they seem to happy to see me again. I stand in the back and watch for a while. Instead of the regular thing you do when your master arrives, they salute like they do in the army. Then start doing all these weird stances, punches and kicks. I watch for a while, puzzled. A coworker has brought his friend who is huge, and they make out. I figure they're riding the "bromance" wave or whatever.

      After a while most people get seated, I sit down next to the master. Two blackbelts get up and start doing some dance. Master tells me they're going to USA to do something in November. I watch for a while until all of a sudden, a bunch of people in make up comes rushing in through the doors. They all look like skeletons and scare all the kids. We all laugh. I'm handed a paper from a girl and I read it.

      It tells me that I need to exit the building and dress up as a skeleton, I'm going to be the first one who will infect the rest. "Make sure you drool alot" it says and I laugh a bit inside. I sneak out and realise I have no paint. I go back in and is handed two tubes. I walk out again and look at the tubes of paint. One of them is a facial lotion Monica uses. I sigh and go back in and get a black one instead.

      I smear it all over my face and into my mouth, it tastes vile. The dream skips and all of a sudden I'm being chased by robots. I have a weird futuristic gun in my hand. I shoot a robot and head up stairs. I'm in my mom's house. I try to close the door but my sister keeps me from shutting it. I see no way out but killing myself. I put the gun to my head and pull the trigger, nothing. "Let me help you" my sister says, clearly not knowing what she's doing. She tries to shoot me twice but the gun won't work.

      I take the gun and remove the clip. The shots are all there, but they didn't go off. "This is the kind of shit that makes you turn your life around" I say. I explain to my sister everything that has happened. "I don't want to live this shitty life, being schizophrenic" I tell her and cry a bit. Everything I had experienced had clearly not even happened.


      11.30: Students! Hit me, if you can! MILD
      I'm in a car on a parkinglot at a local grocery store. Some kid is there with me. Felix is outside, having a fit with some foreign guys. I can hear them yelling, and somehow I know what's going to happen. I close my window and open my door when I hear a scream and a car speeding off. I run up to Felix who says something and sits down on the sidewalk. He's been stabbed in the stomach.

      I run to the grocery store, trying to find a cellphone to call from. There's a truck parked outside and two guys riding grocery carts come up to me. "Do you have a cellphone? My friend has been stabbed" I tell them. This is a slum part of the town and I figure they've stolen tons of shit from the store. "You know the cops won't come here unless they're a full unit" one guy tells me. "They're down at the 3010." "Please don't fuck with me now" I say desperately and shed a tear. The guy points over the building. "Ten of them are at the McDonalds, 3010."

      I run around the building, spotting a McDonalds right away. "Thirty ten!" the guy yells at me as I'm about to enter. I can see a sign on the outside, it says 3030. I spot several other restaurants through the windows though and I figure I can walk through. A guy cleaning the floor sprays me with a water hose. I exit through the other entrance on the other side. It seems as if I've ended up on a train station. There are train tracks a couple of meters ahead and I walk towards them. I jump over them onto the fence in the middle and then land on the track on the other side.


      I realise I'm dreaming and just like that all my fear is gone. I walk on the tracks for a while, whistling. It's sunny out and pretty hot aswell. The dream is very stable and everything is very realistic. I remember my task. "Students!" I yell, my voice echoing. I listen but can only hear some people further away, clearly not my students. I get off the tracks and head right, towards some rocks. I spot three people up ahead. I get up on the rocks, the train track they're walking on is under me ten feet below. "What do you want?" one of the guys ask me, I recognise him, it's a guy from work.

      "Students!" I yell again, ignoring the question. I walk down onto the track and hear something behind me. A guy is walking towards me on the train tracks further away. He's got loose, green and brown clothes. Looks a bit like a druid. That is definitely Hasmash! I smile. "Hey man!" I say and wave him over. "Matte?" I hear someone asking behind the wall of rocks I was standing on a few moments ago. "Yeah?" I yell back. A few seconds later another guy appears, I recognise him as Nito.

      Two more people comes walking from nowhere and I shake their hands. Lemondrops and Tblanco. "Wow you guys, isn't this so cool?" I ask them. I'm amazed how the brain can just create all this as I go, how everyone should look. I look at Nito, he's got black hair. I mess up his hair with my hands. "What happened to your hair man?!" I say and laugh, it's supposed to be pink. He mumbles something about his dream image and shakes hands with Hashmash.

      I realise Hashmash has changed, he's no longer skinny and wearing green, but big, with a short, black beard and a blue t-shirt. Infact everyone is just as tall as me or taller. Tblanco looks just like my old friend Ehrson and Lemondrops looks like a guy from work, Stefan. We all stand in a ring and talk for a minute or two. I figure it's time to stabilize the dream and pick up a small rock from the ground. It's warm and solid. "You look like a guy from work" I say and throw it on Lemondrops. It hits his head and he gives me an angry surprised glare.

      "Come on, hit me!" Tblanco says and pulls up his shirt, flexing his abs. I hit him a few times, feels like hitting dough and I don't get any real resistance. Man this is going to be harder than I first thought. I start imagining my punches being harder and harder. The last few I make uppercuts into his stomach and I lift him off the ground a bit. "Are you guys ready?" I ask them and stand infront of them all.

      They all laugh and Hashmash attacks me, I elbow him in the face and bring him to his knees with a kick to his leg. I grab his hair and knee him in the face. Someone grabs me from behind and I reach behind me, grabbing Nito by the waist with both my arms and slam him into the ground, hard. I quickly get up and bitch slap Lemondrops in the face and in the same motion I use the back of my hand to punch Tblanco.



      No one has landed a single hit on me yet. Lemondrops is the only one standing, and we're circling each other. I realise the dream is starting to fade. I manage to hold it. I do a spin kick towards him, but my kick never hits home. Infact everything goes black.

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID NIGHTLY ADVENTURE

      Good morning! Didn't recall much except some fragment about monkeys before eight. Went back to bed for thirty minutes and had a few pretty cool lucids. Sadly though, some sexual frustration shone through and made me unable to think clearly on my goals. Did manage to summon a DC in a way!

      11.30: Sleep

      01.00: Nightly Adventure
      *I wake up. There's someone drilling a hole in our ceiling from above! I can see the drill and long thin hole they've already made. I'm so shouting at them. I get up. "Monica" I say and intend to tell her this time I'm not dreaming it. I take my cellphone to get some light up on the ceiling. There's no hole or no drill. What? I check the pillows for the dust that was coming down. Nothing. Oh well.

      08.00: Fragment
      *Monkeys.

      08.00: 10 minutes WBTB

      08.36: Flowers MILD
      I'm at my friend G's appartment. He's playing video games with his other two friends and it's my turn to play some real life one. Apparently you go down into the basement and whack these small rods hanging down from the ceiling. I need something to whack them with, and I spot a very cool aluminum weapon, with a sharp hook at the end, lying on the table. I grab it and head for the door. "Dude, that's mine, you can't have it" one of G's friends say. "Oh really? What am I supposed to use then?" I ask him. He points at a pile of iron bars. They are all deformed. Someone knocks on the door. "It's probably my neighbour whining about the music again" G says and turns it down.

      I grab a hammer lying on the table. "You want me to do this then?" I ask his friend, threatening to smash his damn weapon to pieces. "No, come on stop it Matte." I let the hammer go, grab a metal bar and leave the appartment. I head down the stairs, at the bottom there's two people. A Spanish-looking dude smiles at me, I figure it's his neighbour. At the entrance of the basement, I meet up with Monica. There are three different corridors infront of us, with rods hanging from the ceiling. I start running down one of them, I get completely soaked by some pipe which is leaking. I whack them all and run into complete darkness.


      A green field appears infront of my eyes and I stop. Monica's next to me. I realise I'm dreaming. "Wow" I say as I look around. We're standing on a small hill covered in green grass and different kinds of plants. There's clover all around us and not far away is the sea. I spot a big yacht. It appears to be a hot summer day and I decide to activate my senses fully this time. I get down on my knees and feel the grass. Touch all plants I can and smell them.

      I grab a handful of them and stuff them into my mouth, it doesn't taste much but the texture is just right. I look at Monica, she looks happy. We start looking for different things to eat. Sadly there's not much fruit in Sweden, but I find a green ball-looking flower. Like a flower which hasn't bloomed yet. "Oh babe look at this!" Monica exclaims. She's holding a cloudberry. "It looks just a raspberry." I put the flower I found in my mouth.


      I don't have time to taste it though before the dream fades. I lie completely still and think about the scene I just left, I imagine touching the plants.

      08.36: And bees DEILD
      I'm touching the plants around us. I'm back! I look at the sea once again, this time I see several boats, the yacht is very close to the shore. "Show us your titties!" I yell out. No one on the boat even cares. One boat goes up on the shore though and people are climbing out of it. Monica and I go closer. My primal insticts kick in, I feel like having sex. "Let's have a threesome" Monica tells me. Uhm, sure haha. I look for a woman our age. The people who came ashore looks like a family, a few daughters but all too young. "There's a woman" Monica says and points.

      A completely naked woman appears. She's walking towards the family, and must have been sunbathing or something on the beach. We run down the hill towards her. When we reach her, she's in water up to her waist. She's tying her hair up in a knot and when she puts her arms down, I can see her perfect breasts. I know I'm dreaming so I don't really have to ask her for anything. I walk towards her. "No Matte, please don't" she says. Apparently she knows my name. I want to hold her but she keeps backing away, all the time with a teasing smile on her lips.

      I know how to make her more willing. I put my hand on my forehead and drag it downwards, changing my face to whatever face she think is hottest. I can't feel any change myself, but it's an illusion, she sees exactly what she needs to see. "Oh damnit, my legs are tingling" she says and squirms.


      08.36: Let's finish this! DEILD
      I wake up in my bed. Tyrion Lannister from "Game of Thrones" is sitting on a chair next to me. That's weird. He tries to distract me with nonsense, but I decide to count my fingers instead. I count eight. I know I'm still in a dream. Apparently "Weeman" is coming aswell, but I don't care. I decide to finish what I've started. I get up and leave my appartment. I head down the stairs and exit into the light. It's so hot! Everything looks amazing and I activate all senses I can. I know the girl I was just about to have sex with lives nextdoor.

      I walk the few meters while touching the bushes to my right. I grab a handful and stuff them in my mouth. Very rough texture. I head through the door into her building and spot a few McDonald wrappers, I try to see if I can smell anything in particular, but everything smells normal. I chew the plants while heading up a flight of stairs and stop at the first floor. "Terrybrook" it says on the door. I knock. An older woman comes down from the second floor and looks at me. I smile and chew my plants. I point at the handle of the door and imagine it being unlocked, and it is!

      The door opens and there she is. She's wearing a bathrobe. She gives me a big smile and tells me to come in. She runs into another room and I walk in and close the door. I get an adrenaline rush from the excitement. Crap! Relax, you won't wake up yet. I take two steps.


      And wake up.

      09.36: Wake up

      Amount of sleep: 8½ hours

      Supplements: None


      New Powers: Face illusion

      That's it! Kinda cool dreams, and I'm so glad those DEILD's worked like a charm! Advanced Task complete, woho! The illusion power was also a new power for me. Might come in handy some time.

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

      Before Dream Notes
      Bed Time: 3AM
      Induction Technique: Believe it or not, a nose pinch RC AND WBTB at 11AM Did a RC with my eyes closed and apparently I was dreaming because I felt the cool air go straight to my nostrils, the best breathe of air I have taken in a long time (Allergies ;p)
      Trigger: Seeing through my eyelids


      The dream starts off by me waking up in my Grandma's house, it was early in the morning and the only people who were up were my Grandma and my parents. I noticed the difference between a lucid dream and a normal dream at this point, I could actually focus on something and see the details, colors, and vividness. I didn't do anything major in this LD I just walked around the house observing what I could actually see and how long I could make it last. I went to the front door and tried to leave the house but the moment I did my Grandma's crabby old boy friend pulled up in a red mustang. I decided I didn't want to go that way.... I went down the hall and then directly left into the first bedroom. I rubbed my hands together and began, the first thing I wanted to do was to summon someone. I remember reading threads about summoning techniques, and I thought putting a blanket over something and then imagining something under it then pulling it away would work. I summoned at least three different people, the first was my friend Nicole second was my friend Nate. Nicole didn't talk when I summoned her she was a failed summon (Sorry Nicole) but when I threw the blanket off the bed and onto the ground and tried to imagine Nate being there it worked! I pulled the blanket off and Nate was under it, he actually talked to me. He was like what the hell put that back on me I'm trying to sleep here. He wasn't very exciting so I erased him with a dream spin, I felt like I had to clean up the room before I left it so that's why I did it, didn't wanna leave a buncha Dream characters sitting around ;p The first time I DS it didn't work except for moving some blankets around, but the second time I did it, it completely cleaned every part of the room (But didn't change the dream scene). I walked out of the room and noticed all of the vivid reds, golds, and green colors all around me.
      I finally did one more Dream Spin and ended up on Division street in Spokane. I rubbed my hands together to make sure the dream wouldn't dissipate and did one more RC, I then got into a dark Gray Jeep that was on the side of the road (There were no other cars on or off the road) started it and went, I already had seen the park I'm talking about in a second but anyway I went towards there. There was a curb to go over so I decided if I sped up I could fly over it, I imagined myself flying 2 feet above it and over it but it was a failed attempt, I just barely got over the curb and then parked on a trail to the park. It was just getting dark out, I traveled along the path until I saw a park then I walked over some red colored bark on a trail to get there. All of the sudden I hear people screaming, two little kids run by me because someone was chasing them. It doesn't phase me I keep walking into the park when one of the 'chasers' runs past me to catch up to the other two. I finally walk up to the park (It's like a park in Renton, near where I used to live huge field with very green grass. The playground has a whole jungle gym on it, slides, swings, and everything. There is also reddish bark filling the playground area not rocks like in most places), there is a skinny depressed looking girl standing under a huge oak tree. She has jet-black hair and green eyes, I ask her ,"What's the matter why did you scare those kids like that?" She said ,"I don't know I hate doing it *She begins to cry*, I just hate making people feel that way I destroyed all of those kids belongings and then had my brother chase them off." I gave advice ,"Maybe you should go to a store each day and buy one thing for a random person instead of hurting people by ruining their stuff." Then she got all happy and thanked me, she also said she is definitely going to do this.


      That was the end of my first lucid dream, I think it was a very good start. I got an idea on how they work now, and what I need to improve on. This was not expected to happen in the morning, it was supposed to happen at night so I didn't really have a plan on what to do in a lucid.

    15. Message from my subconsious?

      For some reason I start wondering if I'm dreaming. I do the nose RC and since I can still breathe I know I'm dreaming. The dream I'm in is very vague and I have trouble seeing any details. I remember that I was supposed to talk to a DC in my next lucid dream. There's a man next to me so I say something to him. He doesn't reply. I decide that I should leave to try to make the dream more vivid. I go up some stairs and through a door. I'm now in a school corridor. I look around and everything looks real. I turn to the left and start walking. I notice something flying around. It looks like a moth. I consider that my subconscious might be trying to tell me something so I follow it. The thing flies up to a door and I open it and walk through.

      I'm in a classroom. There are a few students and a teacher there. It looks as if one of them is having a presentation. I get bit nervous and for a second I'm afraid that this isn't a dream, then
      I apologize for being late and step in. I think that the things written on the black board might be important. I can't quite remember what it said, but I remember thinking that I should do the reading RC, but I don't since I know I'm dreaming and I don't want the text to change. I read everything on the board and then I decide that talking about it with the teacher might help me remember it. "Does this mean that there are lots of people living in horrible conditions in Africa and no one cares?" I ask.
      "That's right" the teacher answers "we are also reading this book. You should check it out." She hands me a book with red covers. There's a picture of a woman on the front. It's called something about OBEs in south Africa. I tell the teacher that I will read it later, but right now there's somewhere I have to be. I think I've waisted to much time on this already.

      I leave the classroom and enter the corridor again. I decide to try summoning someone. I think that there's a man walking behind me. I turn around and there actually is a man there. He is big and has lots of muscles. I don't want to talk to him so I turn into another corridor. Then I decide to summon a guy I know online but who I've never seen. I say that he's behind me and when I turn around I see a young man with chocolate colored skin and long black hair. I know this isn't what he really looks like since he's from Asia, not Africa, but I decide it's close enough. I run up to him and hug him. He kisses me and it feels exactly as I had imagined it would. He says something to me about how different I am from other girls, but I'm not listening. The dream starts to fade and I wake up.
