The Cusp

Had this one sometime last week. Wasn't exactly lucid, but I sure controlled the dream like I was.

Dude where's my car
Recall: 8/10
Sleep: Unknown
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm questioning how I got to my hometown and conclude I must have drove here, gotten drunk and forgotten where I put my car. I spend quite a lot of time searching for it since I'm really fixated on having lost my car.

I eventually encounter some guy who invites my to go smoke a joint. I pull out my own baggie and say he can try some of mine too. We're inspecting each other's weed when a cop shows up. I tell my new friend to simply ignore the officer and he won't be able to bother us. I turn my back on the cop, but also lose the other guy in the blind spot I've created behind me. They're gone now, and I need to find my car.

I figure I'll be able to spot it better from the air, so I start to fly down the street. But I get too high and too fast to be able to see the cars below, so I slow down. Soon after I spot my car in the middle of someone's front lawn. Looks like a drunk just crashed it there. I land and walk to my car, but by the time I get there it's no longer my vehicle.

I don't know if control without lucidity is a blessing or a curse. Probably just an obsession.

The control turn when the cop showed up stems from the time I totally used a Jedi Mind trick on a cop. He was a bike cop, in the middle of the road checking for seat belts. I didn't have mine on and got stuck at the red light right where he was. He was approaching down the line of cars, looking for seat belts, so I just looked straight ahead. He walked right by me without seeing I didn't have a seat belt on. I looked back in the mirror, and saw him do a double take when he finally noticed me.

I always wondered how I did that, but I realize now that I used the same kind of blind spot to make that cop not see my seat belt as I do to banish things in my dreams. By staring straight ahead intently, I was somehow able to push the cops attention forward and away from me, thus creating an attention blind spot. He could still see I wasn't wearing my belt, he just couldn't focus his attention on it. Unfortunately it stopped working once he got behind me.

Fragment: Vampire History
Something about vampires and their history. Was a vast storyline that went way back, and was very complex.

Obviously this comes form the vampire bible in true blood and that 200o year old vampire chick.

Aliens and the origins of modern man
Recall: 7/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm walking along in the basement when I see a face pressed up against the basement window. It's an alien, with pink human like skin, human like features, but it's different enough to be creepy. I ignore the feeling of uneasiness I have and open the window, put my hand against the screen, and invite it in. I tell it to hold on and I'll go upstairs and let it in.

When I get upstairs, the alien is already inside, only now it looks more like a classic grey, only about as tall as a baby. It's kind of cute, and I pick it up. The alien begins to tell me where they are from, which is 13 star systems over, and it describes it's planet. I say "Maybe I should write this down..."

Next thing I know, I'm looking at a pile of harvested wheat in a field, and the alien tells me this is the origin of mankind. It says that in the pile of wheat a certain bacteria has mutated which vastly improves the functioning of our brains when consumed. This bacteria spreads and made us what we are today.

Now, back home, the little alien is now a tiny stuffed teddy bear sitting on my shoulder. I wonder about the fact that it keeps changing shape, and I walk over to the washing machine thinking the reflective surface of the door will reveal it's true form. But no, it's still a cute little teddy bear.

I lose the little alien for a moment, and call for it to come back. I search around a little bit and then a whole bunch of them come towards me. They are all little fuzzy stuffed animals, although many of them are little slugs or something. I gather them all up and they crawl all over my body.

Had a dream last night where 2 DV members were entering my dreams and harassing me. Unfortunately, I lost most of the details, including their names, to false awakening dream notes. Dunno if it was real or just a dream.

I see the two interlopers standing in the grass. I leap down on them, pushing them on the top of their heads and driving them deep into the ground. The first guy wakes up from this, but the second one remains in the dream, although still pegged deep into the ground. I take a large spike and drive it into his head, using the instability of the death archetype to wake him from the dream.

They keep returning though.

So who was it? Come on! 'Fess up!

Collision Earth
Recall: 7/10
Sleep: OK
Sleep Position: Unknown

A rogue planet is detected that is on a collision course with earth. It's much larger than the earth, and will completely destroy us if it hit, so I go into space with 2 other people to see what we can do. Since the rogue planet is so large and still far away, altering it's orbit is out of the question. That means we have to alter the orbit of the earth. Not an easy thing to do. So I come up with the idea of crashing the moon into the earth.

We discuss the idea briefly, my companions saying we need the moon to help regulate our planet. I tell them we'll build a new moon. Not having any other options, we use our space ship to push the moon towards the earth, then fly back home. We land just before the moon hits.

The moon crashes into the north pole, which we figured was as far away from populated areas as we could get. I knew this collision would be bad, but I wasn't prepared for just how bad. A massive shockwave travels the entire earth from pole to pole, destroying everything in it's path. And yet it was still better than the alternative. Many people die, but many survive. The human race, and our planet continues on.

Alien Invasion
Recall: 3/10
Sleep: OK
Sleep Position: Unknown

There's an alien invasion. Creepy tall skinny aliens in black suits are grabbing everyone. My group of survivors hole up in a house and begin to prep it for survival. As we do, we feel a barrage of mental energy hit it. I look outside and the house is surrounded those creepy aliens. We grab whatever makeshift melee weapons we can, and head out to fight the aliens.

Luckily for us, some other people happened onto the scene, and the aliens went after them, leaving us alone for the moment. Since we're out, we decide to raid the other houses for supplies. The first house seems empty, but we find a family in there. We offer to have them join us, but they refuse, which is too bad because they have good food supplies.

The second house I hit is empty, but as I gather supplies, the owners come home. Bad luck.

Captain's Daughter
Recall: 4/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in space, ships everywhere, and we humans are having diplomatic problems with a race of aliens we've encountered.

The captain of the alien's ship has a daughter, and we hit it off. I board their ship and get cozy with this space babe. Although I wonder if she's just using me for cigarettes, which she seems to be very fond of. She smokes them completely in one drag. I notice odd filter lengths which almost makes me lucid, but i'm more focused on the space babe.

Then I see the captain looking at me getting close to his daughter and think "uh oh". He calls me over, and I ask what he's going to do about this diplomatic situation. I think I may have blown it by hitting on his daughter, but he says to me "let's share a cigarette". I give him one and he too puff the entire thing in one drag.

That smoke was symbolic, and I know our two races will be at peace and cooperate.

Done here, we leave the ship. The door opens and their ship is against a large meteor with a human base built on it. I'm worried about jumping out into space without a suit, but the captain and his daughter do, so I follow, preparing to hold my breath. I'm surprised to find that i can breath, although the air is thin.

Never Trust a Zombie
Recall: 7/10
Sleep: Poor
Sleep Position: Unknown

It's the zombie apocalypse, and I'm wasting zombies and searching for increasingly rare food resources. I cleave zombie skulls with an axe when they are few, and switch over to a gun when they begin to overwhelm me.

I get a psychic vision of a food stockpile in a certain house, where the survivors and been gathering supplies to take with them when they were all killed by zombies. I lead my group to the house and we clear it out room by room, basement last, which is where the food is. The zombies are more plentiful in the basement. As I begin shooting them in the head, I hear one of the zombies speak!

I'm flabberghasted, wondering if the zombies are evolving or something. "You can speak!!!" I cry out with incredulity. The zombie replies that they've always been able to speak, it's just that we never listen. So he says, but all I remember them doing is moaning and groaning.

The zombie is lamenting the fact that I killed his companions as my mind reels with this sudden turn of events. They seem almost civilized, but I still don't trust them and keep my gun leveled at the zombie's head. THen for a brief moment, there is a sudden shift in reality and the zombies switch back to moaning and groaning in mid sentence. Then they switch back to talking. I'm seriously questioning reality now. Even though they are talking again, they are still lurching towards me the same as they'd do when they couldn't talk and wanted to eat me.

I hold my fire, back into the room with the food, and grab the large duffel bag which is already packed and ready to go. Even though the zombies talk a good talk, they are still closing in on me, and I waste them anyways.

Space Pirates
Recall: 7/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in a tiny cramped little space capsule with Donald. We're calibrating 3 satellites that each have 3 green blinking lights. Suddenly I feel our space capsule begin to fall and spin, lurching out of control. Not cool! I begin to panic a little, and then I realize I'm dreaming!

The out of control capsule is making me feel nauseous, so I figure I'll fly out of it through the roof. I put my hands over my head in flying position, and bump my fingertips against the roof of our capsule. I look down so I can't see what is stopping my fingers from going through, and manage to get move them through the roof. I then grab onto the outer hull to brace myself against our momentum. This lessens our spinning out of control somewhat.

I say to myself "remember, it's just a dream, think of it as a dream", and that stabilizes the descent of our craft even more. I repeat that a few more times since it seems to be doing the trick until we're just falling without the sickening spinning sensation. I see outside and our craft is almost level with the tallest buildings, and yell at Donald "Fly this damn thing!". He holds off a bit longer, then lands the ship on the ground.

We get out and I see we have landed in my the school yard. I walk through the school, and go onto the stage where I get suckered into being an extra in a school play. I'm playing the role of a slave on a pirate ship. Those in charge are killing us slaves like there's no tomorrow.

I wander into a room and see the table is covered in ancient books and ingredients for a blood magic spell. I go to the end of the table where I find the finished product, a bowl of blood from on of the pirates. I pick up the bowl and drink down all the blood, which makes me invincible.

A pirate walks in as soon as I finish, and pulls out his musket and shoots me, but it has no effect. I walk up to him and kill him. It's my ship now!

Another lucid I didn't do much with. Going to have to get some new lucid goals soon.

Double post, stupid DJ won't let me delete.

Had a lucid last night, but it wasn't that interesting and I didn't bother commiting it to memory.

I recall a fairly long dream where I had a mexican girlfriend, but it wasn't that interesting either and I don't feel like writing it out.

Orgy of Heroes
Recall: 4/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Switching back and forth, left side and right side

I'm in a mall, fighting off a bunch of super villains with a group of people. I don't seem to have any super powers, other than the power of being bad ass. I've got a bo staff that I'm whacking enemies with.

I see a couple of my allies duck into a store to chase some woman, and when I look in to check on them, they are being held immobile by some woman with white hair and wind powers. I can see the wind pinning my allies down. I charge in and beat the wind woman in the head with my bo staff.

My side prevails, and we end up at some house. I launch some sort of movie or program, and we end up with a bunch of female pornstars, which leads to an orgy. It's a hell of a good time, and when it's over, I replay the scenario.

In the next iteration, I try to hook up with the girl I was with last time, but she goes off with someone else. I settle for a blonde, and figure I'll get my girl on the next go. But on the next round, there is no sex at all, and I begin to recognize there are key points that are randomized.

On the final reset, I'm still wanting to nail that first girl again, but instead the homeowners show up. They don't like seeing a bunch of strangers in their house, but I take control of the situation and persuade the husband that it's no big deal. He's no longer upset, there was no harm done, and we all leave the house.

Multiple versions of the same dream are always tough to recall for me. I didn't quite capture just how awesome that dreams was.

I'm watching the US presidential elections on a Risk like map of the United States. Ron Paul seems sure to win until there his a hiccup in one state and Ron Paul loses in that state. This creates a panicked reactionary effect that spreads out from that state, infecting the other states like a virus spreading to a cell. What was a sure victory becomes a massive loss as people vote not on the best candidate, but vote in response to how everyone else is voting.

Fragment: Score
I'm in class all bummed out. I call Steele up up and tell him to bring some girls over. We hand out in my house, and they all start to leave. I offer one a ride home, but one girls is still there. She isn't leaving. I ask if she'll be there when I get back, and she says yes. I'm happy she wants to hang with just me

Fragment: Master Splinter and the Lantern Corps
I'm in a bar, when I see they have Master Splinter prisoner. A little floppy fist sized ninja turtle falls to the ground, and when I look down, I see a green lantern ring. A crab walks up to it, puts it on his claw and begins to grow large, then fight the bad guys.

Fragment: Police Archery Division
Running from the police, but the police trap us in a very high tree house. The cops bombard us with arrows, which cut the rope we need to get down, and pierce the walls and roof and come down around us like rain. People are getting hit and trying to escape.

One guy goes down a rope with a sand bag at the other end. I grab the sand bag and the other side of the rope, and slide down real fast. I find it off that the rope doesn't burn my hands. At the bottom I try to run, but the police catch me and I give up. It's no big deal, we hadn't done much wrong, even though they were trying to kill us with arrows.

Bad dream recall the last few weeks.
So I watched The Adjustment Bureau Last night. The theme of the movie was very similar to dream control in many ways, what with the option trees and free will and stuff.

So I dreamed that the bureau was messing with me. They directed my attention down to the microscopic level, which really threw me for a loop, because any advancement I made was minuscule. Plus there was some weird time distortion at the microscopic level. My dream seemed to last hours, but when I kept waking up and only 5-10 minutes had passed on the clock. The weird thing is I felt fully rested even though I had only had 2 hours of sleep.

So anyways, I used the microscopic level to my advantage, and erased the Bureau from my dream on cell at a time. And it worked.

I was also violently ill last night. So in the dream I also redid my body to cure the sickness and it seemed to work. I'm still sick today, but I no longer had the violent shivering and urge to vomit.

Post Apocalypse
Recall: 7/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Left Side (Right Brain)

Some friends and I are walking along the beach, which is littered with small blowholes that vent clouds of acidic steam. We have to be careful not to get hit by them or breath in the acid. A little reptile runs up to a blowhole with what looks like a blue crystal carrot in it's mouth. It dips the crystal carrot into a blowhole so the acidic steam will erode the hard outer layers so it can eat the nutritious inside, and pull is out just before the acidic steam blasts him. It keeps doing this, but finally gets blasted by an unexpected steam blast which kills it. It's body is absorbed almost instantly into the ground and some mushrooms grow where the body was.

The mushrooms are dangerous because the attract poisonous predators who eat them. We try to avoid the mushrooms as best as possible, but come across a section that is thick with them. We run across quickly with no causalties.

We come to the land of the tank people, who capture us. In this post apocalyptic world, they have built their camp at an old tank base. They lead us through a building and point our a trio of super tanks that no longer run, and tell us their history. These people only have a handful of lesser tanks that still run.

Once of the guys with me says he can fix the biggest tank and get it running again, so we sneak off and repair it. We use it to fire a shell at a neighboring settlement with whom these people are at war with, which triggers a final battle. Our captors win, and since we were responsible for their victory, they allow us to stay with them freely.

We are in a mall with several food stalls. Some of them have a single glass of beer, and I gather as many beers as I can. Then I find out later they all had working taps to dispense beer. I see Jason sitting at a table, and he spills his beer on Andrew, who gets mad. The spill was sort of but not really my fault, since it wouldnt have happened if I didn't talk to Jason, so I take the blame before he beats Jason senseless.

I decide to leave the tank people and end up where the schools were in my hometown. There was a bar/restaurant nearby, and I head there hoping to scavenge some food, but when I arrive, it's pretty bombed out and there are mad max looking kids all over. I find a broken knife blade, attach it to a metal pole and make a nice spear.

Some guy with a big wolf come, and all the kids scatter. The wolf man is killing them all. I run for some mansions on the hill which seem pretty intact, and wonder why nobody is living there. When I arrive, I see about a dozen heads on the ground, all fused together and still alive, guarding the area.

The Great Flood
Recall: 5/10
Sleep: Poor
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm seeing the Earth from above. It's flooded real bad and there isn't much dry land left. A narrator's voice is telling me what's happened to the remnants of humanity since the flooding. Then I flash to the present pre-flood era.

I'm holding an object possessed by some demon or evil god, and throw it away from me. It flies up into the sky and opens into a spiraling anomaly. It's the gravity from this that caused the flooding. The evil thing speaks from withing the anomaly, and angry at me for rejecting it, tell the entire planet that I'm the one responsible for the flooding. It tells them to get me!

I run and everyone I come across is out to get me. I make a good run for it, but they eventually capture me, and bring me into a room with two other female prisoners. The captive women suddenly pull out melee weapons and surprise attack our captors. One has a really long staff weapon and complains she has no room to wield it. I pick up the slack and fight our captors with my fists.

We overwhelm our captors, and one of the women says her boyfriend is rich and has a spaceship. We find him and take off into space. The ship is equipped with some sort of device that will collapse the anomaly. We launch it, wait, and nothing happens. It's a dud.

I wake up here briefly and fall back asleep as I'm recalling the dream, which causes me to have the same dream again. Only this time I'm armed with knowledge of what happens in it.

I know the entity in the anomaly is about to turn everyone against me, so I get a head start and take off running, keeping out of sight as much as possible. I make it into a house, and I see the neighbor looking at me through the window. I tell her to come over and bring her daughter, since I'm going to need females to repopulate the planet with.

I call up the billionaire and tell him to get the space ship ready. He demands to know who I am, but I just tell him I have his girlfriend with me and I'm bringing her to him. Get that damn ship ready.

To get to the ship, we need to go through the base of some body snatcher aliens. All the aliens are lined up outside waiting to get in, and I get in line. Another human girl I know who has infiltrated them calls me to the front of the line and gets me in so I don't have to go through security.

We find the ship and launch into space. I take a head count, 4 guys and 5 girls. I figure we'll pair off into couples, and wonder who will get the 5th girl. It would be unfair to leave her alone with no lovin', but I don't really want to deal with the other women getting jealous.
