WarriorTiger's Visions of Misconceptions

This starts out as a long non-lucid dream, but I did manage to become lucid! YAY!

I was on a ship in the middle of the sea. I don't know why I was there, nor how I got there, but it all seemed natural to me. I was watching some of the crew members run around. A few of them were working, a few of them were playing games, and a few of them didn't seem to know what they were doing. I felt like something was off, but at the same time had spotted a nice looking woman. I walked over to her and smiled.

We engaged in mindless chit-chat for a while. It was like neither one of us wanted to say what we were really looking for. I knew what I had wanted. It wasn't soon after that, that I was in a brand new place. Having no idea how I had even gotten there. It looked a bit like the forest. I was wondering if I had teleported. That would be cool. The pretty sea lady was gone, sadly, but there was nothing I could do.

I walked around, looking for other signs of human life. The place was void, and it seemed a little dark. I promised to myself that I would not panic in the face of unknown dangers. I took a deep breath in, and calmed my nerves. I didn't want to enter the forest, so I instead walked along the outside of it. There was like ocean and cliff side next to me. I wondered if I was in Ireland, when the scene changed once more.

Now I was in a room. My current girlfriend, Silver Wolf, was there. Also there was my ex-girlfriend. My ex was laying on top of my legs. I had always joked about her chest size. We are all just talking, even though I feel like I am a prisoner in my ex's house. I feel like something is off. I know something isn't right and begin to analyze everything. My ex sits up and there are two weights left where her chest would have been. I can't move my legs. I tell myself to remain calm, and take a deep breath in. She says she had gotten a reduction done, and this was how much they took off. I looked up at Silver Wolf and ignored my ex.

My ex walked over to me. I was suddenly listening to music and she takes the earplugs out of my ears. I can still hear the music. Wait.. I must be dreaming.

I tell my ex that I am dreaming and I want her to go away. She laughs at me. I notice then that I am handcuffed to the bed.. What the heck is that all about. I focus my energy to try and change the scenario. Nothing happens. I am sure I am dreaming. I can't move my legs, sleep paralysis. I can still remain calm, my breathing rate is normal. I am in charged of my dream. I go through reaffirming and solidifying the dream. I looked back at my ex. "I know this is a dream!" I make the handcuffs disappear and my ex cackles. "You are good, that is for sure."

I sigh. I don't have time for this crap. Not now that I know I am lucid. And its so vivid. I pinch my nose and breath in and out. This action gives me dream control.

I laugh back at her. "So who are you really? You know.. it doesn't even matter. You're gone." She vanishes right in front of my eyes. Now I look at my girlfriend. 'What should I do?' I ask myself. I decide to have fun, after all I haven't been in complete control for a while. I change her to be blond, and skinnier than she is now. Now we are going to play a messed up version of cops and robbers, where I am the caught robber. She attaches restraints to my wrists. She is teasing me by going slow. I see a shadow move across a door way out of the corner of my eye. I look to it and command that there be no interruptions. Then its like I can see into another room. "And no parents!" I shout. The image changes slightly. I look at Silver and tell her to hold on for a sec. She freezes and turns to shades of gray.

I walk over to the figure I see in the room. It's my ex's mom, Bree. I haven't seen her in a while. "Surprised to see me?" she asks. I know she is not a DC. I go to sit down, trying to summon a chair at the same time. It fails and I sit on the floor. I am overwhelmed by a vast array of emotions. She tells me everything is okay, and that I am doing good. I am on the right path. She is trying to get my attention to tell me something important. I can feel the dream slipping. I take notice of how my non-dream body feels. I am still dreaming lucidly. I look up to her. I am going to stabilize the dream when my cell phone vibrates.

I hear it in the dream and feel like I am being pulled away. I try to reach out for Bree to hold onto, but am awake before I can.

Bree died a couple of years back. So I was especially surprised to see her. I think its part of an ongoing attempt to give me a message.

I meditated again last night before going to sleep. I again remember a dream... It makes me kinda wonder if this is going to keep working!

I am in Alaska with my family. All of my cousins are there, and everyone from my mom's side except my Aunt Lisa. I run off to go find her. Somewhere along the way I find a sort of roller coaster water slide. It was also a sport thing. Anyway I climb up it and slide down and end up making the longest jump ever. My Aunt had been watching the entire thing. She came over and was very proud of me. It was like before she had her accident. My parents after some time came to find me. They met up with Aunt Lisa. I was in the bathroom changing. All of my clothes were soaking and it was chilly in the air. Something happened and a sort of fight broke out. I don't know what, I just know it was between my mom and Aunt.

The rest of the family vacation went off without a hitch. I went back the next year to compete in the competition again, making sure I wore a wet suit. Some guys were there too. Apparently I had told them that the winner of their competition could marry me.. They had been fighting about it for a while. I woke up before I knew who won.

I decided to try and meditate every night before I went to sleep. This was night one, and I discovered that I was better able to remember my dreams when I woke up. Of course this dream was also nightmarish so I'm not sure if it counts.

I am watching TV on the top bunk of my bunk bed. It was CSI:LV. I had put some magazine on the floor and my mom was yelling at me about them. The cat was eating them, because they were paper. I laughed it off. I really didn't care. My dog, Chewy couldn't get up the top bunk, and it was nice to have him not up there for once. My mom cleaned up some of his poop on the floor, and was yelling at Chewy for it. My show was coming to an end.

In the show they were discussing a woman who's lower jaw had begun to shrink up. Her face was going in and she was crazy too. She wanted to see Gil Grissom while he was undergoing surgery. Sara was there and saying to Gil, that everything was going to be fine. The crazy woman, was just watching them. She had a worker there to hold her in case anything happened. Sort of a psychiatric nurse. She attacked the nurse, knocking her unconscious, then grabbed the needle that was full of anesthetics.

Grissom was not in that room, he had vanished, and Sara was there because of a case. She was leaning over a dead body when the attack came. She never stood a chance. The crazy lady had taken her off into the woods and was making a makeshift grave. She was burying Sara alive. Sara woke up and could see just the last of the rocks being placed over her.

Warrick, Nic, and Catherine were all working the case. Apparently the crazy lady had made her jawline shrink and it was a style that some women were trying to do. No one could believe that she did that to herself. Catherine was about to go out into the field when Gil burst through the doors. He demanded that he be allowed to work the case. However he had already retired and after Catherine said no the screen faded to black.

I was really cold, so grabbed another blanket. It was time to go to sleep so I put my head on my pillow and began to drift off. I could hear Sara's voice from CSI. She was whispering that she needed help. She was there as I was trying to fall asleep, whispering in my ear. It was almost like she was a ghost. I squeezed my eyes shut. I didn't want to hear it. I was breathing very rapidly when... I woke up.

It was very surreal to wake up in the lower bunk. I did grab my cell phone and begin writing dream notes down, but still had a lingering feeling I was missing something. I decided to to a nose pinch RC and I discovered I really was awake. I finished typing the notes and tryed to get into the CSI show when I went back to sleep. I can't remember anything except trying to save Sara.

Okay, so I had one major goal last night, and that was finding my friend M. He complained that he has been having nightmares. I told him that he needed to focus on the Koi Pond in the bio-dome on the moon and that I would try to meet him there.


Finding M
I focused on the bio-dome. More importantly I focused on the Koi Pond. I was trying to find M. I could feel the dream fading. I focused it by rubbing my hands together. It helped. I walked over to the bench and sat down. I figured it might take M a while to get there as it was his first attempt at reaching the moon. It didn't even occur to me that I should go find him. I had confidence in his ability to get here.

I suddenly felt a presence standing over me. It was somewhat eerie and I stood and turned around. Standing there was M. I gave him a hug and told him we would see about his nightmare problem. He hugged me tightly saying it was good to see me again. I grab his hand and am getting ready to teleport us to his world when everything fades to black, and I don't mean the dream was lost. I mean there is a big black hole where the rest of it is supposed to be. It's not even a dream recall issue as I can usually recall small vibrations of the dream. Now, there is nothing. Not even a hint as to what happened. All I know is somewhere I lost him and my lucidity, but retained my goal. It is in the next segment.

Into the Old Life....
I am driving my dad's truck. We are in a parking lot. It is overly bright and I slide my sunglasses on. I am steering around other cars that are parked, and even being worked on. I narrowly avoid missing hitting someone that stepped right out in front of me. I cursed at the idiot that must have been trying to kill themselves. I finally make it home.

I then am riding my bike to school. It is high school and is like I have gone back in time. I don't think anything of this, but I just keep going on my way. There is construction all around town. I get to school, which is more of a warehouse. One of my teachers, Ms. S, is looking at soda. It is a big shipment. Several of us are joking around when someone hands out some fliers about going to Rwanda. I feel that there is something I need to be doing. I suddenly want to find my friend M. For some strange reason I feel he is in Rwanda. I volunteer to go. The flier updates itself and now reads that 25 people have signed up. I am getting my gear together when I hear my dad say... "Its time to get up."

I guess I will have to try and find him again tonight!

For those that don't know somniloquy is talking in one's sleep. I have this occur every once in a while, but am espcially glad that I shouted a few words. Here is the dream.

I was with Silver Wolf. She was sitting in my bed on the computer. I kept thinking that I needed to get up because mom was going to be home. So I lazily rolled over. I decided that we would watch some Law and Order: SVU. So I turned on the TV to watch it. The detectives were getting ready to make an arrest. The woman that they thought was the suspect was babbling on about bad luck signs. She had made these ceramics and placed them around where this guy worked. He was her stalker. She said something about crossing the path of a black cat, which I laughed at because I have owned many black cats.

The guy got pissed, and jumped out at Benson and the woman. Benson shoved the man away, however he pulled out some pepper spray. He was spraying like a maniac when she shouted something to her partner and he came running in. Benson covered the eyes of their victim and backed up quickly, however she was pepper sprayed.

Then there is a man in a hospital bed and he is talking on the phone. He had been assaulted by the man. He was jabbering on about how good it was that the man had be found and dealt with. He did not realize that the woman in the bed next to him was the man's mother. The camera pulled away and she was dead. Her skin looked like she had been sitting in the desert of Egypt. Then the Law and Order voice said... "Or you could be really mean..." and the camera faded in from black on the woman. She snapped her head to the side and her eyes were pitch black like that of a demon.

My mom asked what I was watching, Jen had disappeared. I was half covering myself with blankets cause I was scared. I told her a Halloween Episode of SVU. She said she wanted to finish watching it, the show was about half over. She was in the living room and asked me what channel it was on. I shouted to her "29!!!" and... woke myself up as well.

Silver was there and looked at me, (WL is where she vanished to ) and asked, "29... really?"

For some strange reason these parts of this dream stick out to me the most. And please note that I am jumping right into what I can remember, so please excuse if you don't know what is going on. I don't either.

I waved at my friend. "Hi, Kim, do you remember me?" She nodded and I looked over. She had another friend in the car with her. I recognized her too, but couldn't remember her name. She stepped out of the car, and was dressed in a pretty wedding dress. 'Why is she at Safeway then?' It didn't matter. Soon we were driving to a restaurant, her fiance was there, so we had to leave.

I apparently said that we should go see a movie and so we suddenly were in someones house watching a chick flick. I hate chick flicks so wanted to change it when everyone fell asleep. I laughed as the last person fell asleep. She was my girlfriend, (not the one I have now) and was very cute. I decided that I was going to put something else in, when it changed automatically. 'Cool!' My girlfriend woke up and was bitching. "Allison, I really wanted to see that!" So I changed it back! The powers you have could with your mind! She said thanks and kissed me. I got really excited. Raven would be so jealous when I showed her what I could do. 'Wait... could this be a dream?' I contemplated that for a second before... I woke up!

This is a very interesting dream. It really has more to do with DDO, but the title will be explained later.

I was with Jen and Mom. We were at a Renaissance Festival. We had ordered some meat on a steak and were getting our food. It was sort of buffet style. They handed us our items and we went to sit down. Jen said something... I don't know what, and it pissed me off. I threw my jacket with my cell phone at her and walked away. I walked downstairs where I entered a little stand. They asked how I had gotten there and I told them. The let me pass through to get out on the main street.

I am walking around looking for a sword to buy. I need one to go kill something. Pretty soon I am walking upstairs again. I see a bunch of bad men trying to break down a door. I magically don a mask and leap over to where they are. I beat them all up. Soon a body guard and a woman step out of the room. He tackles me to the ground and tries to hand cuff me. I tell them that they have the wrong person. That the dead guys were trying to get in. The woman agrees with me. She tells her body guard to let me go. I stand up and see a girl in her room. 'Hmm, she's gay.'

She tells me that I am a pirate, and that her name is Catherine. She had always wanted to explore some of the lower depths of the... dungeon we were in. I thought this was odd, but didn't RC. So we began exploring the depths. Soon we found ourselves needing to be separated. She went one way, and I went the other. We meet back at the middle. She was carrying a cell phone. This was odd and I turned to look at her when... my own phone received a text.

Okay, so I tried taking my meds and then staying up for about 30 min afterward. And guess what??? That's right! I remembered a dream! Now to become lucid again!!!

I was fighting GIANT SPIDERS. I was with Raven. I was spinning and hitting them. I was also scared. I couldn't believe that they really existed. It never occurred to me that it was a dream, even given the weird armor, the swords and the fact that Raven could heal me. Of course I rationalized it because you always have to kill giant spiders with swords. They are immune to everything else. So we continued fighting spiders and soon was getting ready to leave the dungeon that we were in.

Somehow a spider ended up slipping into my bag. It was a baby, very young, and easily fit into it. Of course my backpack is where I store all my adventuring gear. Raven and I walked to my house. Well it was more like teleportation, and my mind rationalized it as walking. There we were talking with Mom, Dad, and Jen about our adventure. The spider slipped out of my back and bit my mom. Dad rushed her to the hospital. The spider must have laid eggs too. Raven and I go to kill the big spider when all of these little ones come pouring out of my bag. I am trying to kill them, but stepping on them and hitting them isn't working (which proves my sword theory!) Soon they area crawling on me. I am freaking out cause I am terrified of spiders.

One of them bites me! I want to go to the hospital but Jen says not to worry and Raven tries to get me to calm down. I ask her if she can take care of the rest of the spiders. A big blister, its boil like, is appearing on my arm where the spider bit me. A EMT appears. He tells me not to worry about the bite. It will not kill me. I am perfectly safe. I never have to worry here. What? Why not? "Because its all a dream!" he says. I pause and think about that. Dream? That means... ah shit! I wake up!

I am beginning to think that perhaps murder shows are not the best thing to be watching late at night, however the last two nights have gotten better with recall. I also did something I shouldn't have. I took my meds then stayed up for a little while afterwards... maybe that is the key?

I was waist deep in water. I was wading around, looking for evidence. There had been a murder. My Nina was there. I was also with Janet, from Stargate SG:1. We are the investigators of this murder. I am talking with this man. He is somehow linked to the murderer and I can't figure out how. It also has something to do with Safeway. I leave the girl, whom I did not speak with, and the man to go talk with Janet. It is like she is helping flood victims. I am confused by this. She is looking for diseases also. I tell her about the man and the girl. She walks back with me and we find the girl has been killed. The man is still there. I suspect that he is the KILLER. Janet asks the man for his papers. He can't produce them. She calls him a lazy bum. I think about myself, I have no job, and am living off my parents. I would think that this would cause me to gain lucidity, but somehow it didn't.

A woman takes the body underwater with a fire extinguisher. Apparently this is a CPR technique. I tell Janet and Nina that I swear the girl was alive when I left her. I can feel Janet touch my shoulder. It's like she is saying she doesn't blame me. The guy gets handcuffed. I turn around and Janet is looking at the body. She is far away. She smiles at me. I know that she has mastered a mind touch. I hear someone saying something... Its mom saying they are home.

I am with my mom and dad. The carnival is more like a swap meet. It is being run by famous actors. Sandra Bullock is selling CDs. My dad walks over and buys something from her. Dad is talking to her. I overhear him say something about Sandra raping Melissa Etheridge. It had been all over the news that Melissa had been beaten and raped. I was puzzled by this, but we move on. There is a lot of new things, so its not really like a swap meet. Mom starts asking about broadcasting and whether they are seeking advertisement opportunities. I began to ignore her. I started to rummage through a set of pendants. I find a purple pendant that has the Tree of Life. I set it aside and look for a green one I think I have found one when... I wake up.

This was a fragment from early in the morning. I was super excited when I woke up because I had at least made a successful DILD!

I was in a tent on one of my side streets. I was walking round, the tent allowed my legs to go through. I thought that it was really weird and shouted RC!!! I pinched my nose and found I could breathe! I was dreaming!

I was being really lazy getting up this morning, and slipped into another dream. I didn't remember it until I was talking to Raven.

I was with my Nina, my mom, my dad, and Jen. We had been camping and were starting to clean up. For some strange reason we had climb up a tree in order to get into the truck we had rented. We were all ready to go when Mom said I needed to help her with something. I was angry as I had just got settled in. I jumped down and walked over to her. She wanted me to go through all sorts of boxes. She said we needed to get cleaned up. In some of the boxes I found some chocolate. I gave some to Jen. I was getting upset because mom wanted it all done today! I heard Jen's phone ringing and I went to get it. I threw some gloves into a box and went for the phone. I reach for it, but its not ringing. I reach in and find a better cell phone than her current one. A girl is calling her, Holly. I get mad because she wasn't seeing anyone else. I walked over to her and was about to say something when... the phone woke me up.

This dream happened after the Stargate dream.

I am jail, well Juvenile Detention. I don't think I should be here. I can't remember what I did to get here. What is really weird is that it is more like a community than a jail. I even have my own apartment. I have brought my cat, Venus, with me. I am starting to make friends, and going to group therapies. I also am holding down a job. I am not doing anything really that different than from what I am now. I even have a hand written DJ. One of my friends comes into my room and starts going through my drawers. This is not odd. She said that she always has her mom bring her new underwear because we apparently share it all. (Yuck!) She see my journal. I can't have it so she helps me hide it. Then the girl who lives across the hall from me walks in. She says something about my cat. I think it is joke, but continue listening. She says that I have to put a tablespoon of sugar in her butt! She even tried to hand me the sugar! I looked at her. She insisted that it was for Venus' safety. I told her I would take it up with veterinarian.

This dream took place early in my night. I managed to wake up enough to jot some notes down. It was semi-lucid and a little bit strange.

I was walking my dog Chewy. It was overly dark and I couldn't quite tell where he was. I knew he was running loose in some tall grass. Pretty soon I heard the Stargate 'kawhoosh' behind me. I became aware it was a dream. I saw Bra'tac run through the stargate, followed by Teal'c. I went up to ask them what was going on. They said that the System Lords were getting ready to attack. They suggested we leave, but I just went to hide. I was with my mom, Nina, Jen, and Raven.

We watched from a old wooden shed the Gou'ald kill the people in the shed across from us. We decided to run out the back door. We were looking at a ship and I knew we could get away using it. This is where the dream gets really weird.

I help push the ship free from Ice. Raven is helping me. Soon we are all boarding and I am shivering because I have hypothermia. I can see the System Lords approaching us. Teal'c and Bra'tac are holding them off. Then its like the dream is being pulled back, sort of like a tug of war type of fashion. I have the feeling this is Raven's doing.

I am with the ship. Raven and I are pushing the ship free. I need a hand getting up to the ship, I need to step on the Oblivion game case. I am about to when... mom calls Chewy and I wake up.

I have to laugh about the end of this dream. I needed to step on a game case and it would boost me up high enough!

My main goals right now are this: work on recall (while I do have this mostly down, my medication makes it hard sometimes. So I am more working on consistency.) and become Lucid. I mainly WILD, as it comes naturally, but I would like to work on being lucid for ONE REMEMBERED dream every night!

My color coding will be as follows:

Non-Lucid
Semi-Lucid
Lucid
Notes

I am also underlining things that I think are my dream signs.

I am also going to be working on continuous dream sharing.
