    1. TofY Part 7! The Final Task! - New York

      by , 04-09-2013 at 04:32 PM
      I started out my WILD on the balcony of a hotel room. I wasn't wearing very much, just a chiffon dress, and both my hands were on the railing of the balcony. My boyfriend walked out of the room behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, making me smile quite a lot. We stood there for a while until I turned round and kissed the tip of his nose, telling him I'd be back in a minute.

      Eventually I exited the hotel and walked out onto the street below. It was a short walk to the empire state building (My dream self must be rich to afford a trip like that ) and I began the walk, realizing along the way I had no shoes on. I reached the bottom of the esb and looked up at it. This is my least favourite task so I was pretty reluctant to do this. I shut my eyes and concentrated on the fact that I wanted to transform my self into a giant primate (for... some... reason... :L) and stood there for a while, pretty soon feeling my limbs extending and growing.

      When I reopened my eyes I discovered I was now a giant primate and even though I didn't particually want to be, I needed this task finishing. People around me had already started to scream and run away so I thought I might as well start scaling the building.

      It took me a while but eventually I reached the top of the building, swinging round from the top of the spire whilst I waited for the task force to respond. They eventually did and some fighter jets came soaring through the sky and started firing some tranquilliser bullets at myself. It was quite a scary experience and I really didn't like it. A bunch of army people were surrounding the bottom of the building and trying to set up nets and stuffs. As the jets flew past I tried to grab out at them to complete the second part of the task. When I realiised this wasn't working I started to climb down, being hit by a few tranquillisers on the way down and making me a bit drowsy. There were tanks and other things on the ground so I picked one of these up and threw it upwards at one of the planes, causing a collision and a pretty explosion in the sky.

      At this point people started to try and actually kill me so I decided now was a good time to run. I ran as quickly as I could to the Brooklyn river and jumped in it, transforming back to my normal size and climbing out, running past the army guys and into my hotel before climbing in the shower to wash the rubbish off of my skin.
    2. TofY Part 6 - Colosseum - Doctor Who Style

      by , 04-05-2013 at 02:45 PM
      I was waling along the street of Cardiff Bay thinking about my boyfriend. His hand appeared in mine and we walked together for a while. Then I had an idea and pulled him into 'my' T.A.R.D.I.S and we time travelled back to ancient Rome. When we arrived I grabbed a sonic screwdriver from the control and we exited the blue box, walking the few feet into the Colosseum. I sent my boyfriend up into the stands, thinking of the task of the month and made my way towards the arena. A fight was just finishing so I slipped my way to the front of the little waiting area thing that was basically a cave underneath the stands seperated from the arena by a metal cross-hatched gate.

      The fight finished, massive cheering occured and these gates lifted, signalling that one of us was required to enter the arena. I took my chance and grabbed a sword on my way in, placing the sonic into my pocket for later use. Our fight started and I remember sighing deeply, the guy I was against was massive and had it been a normal fight I would have been dead within 10 seconds. I raised my sword to meet his attacks, our constant to and fro-ing going on for about 5 minutes, one of us always countering the other's attacks until I got bored and pulled my sonic out of my pocket. recieving a blow to the arm in the process, and pointed it at the guy, freezing him in place.

      Putting the sonic back into my pocket I jabbed him with my sword before slicing his head off, causing a massive uproar to be heard from the crowd as I hadn't waited for the emperor's blessing. Dropping my sword I sprinted over to where I'd left my boyfriend and dragged him towards the exit, both of us running like mad to avoid being caught by everyone chasing us. We quickly got back to the T.A.R.D.I.S and shut the doors. Setting her into flight mode and returning to modern day.

    3. TofY Part 5 - Asia

      by , 02-17-2013 at 10:41 AM
      I lay down to WILD at about 9am, Sunday 17th Feb.

      It took a lot more effort for me to get into he WILD and to maintain the dream than usual. This makes me want to stick to my before bed method even more.

      When I 'opened my eyes' I was walking down the streets of China, through a giant market with so many people in it. Some of the colours were quite dull and dreary but the top of the stalls were a bright red and some had golden banners trailing down the sides. People were crowding round trying to buy items and food which smelt really peculiar.

      There was a tiny gap in the middle of the street as everyone was crowding the stalls and through it I could see this man getting stabbed, I sprinted down the gap, knocking people flying as I ran and skidded to a halt when I reached the stabbing. There were about 4 or 5 people committing the crime and the guy was still alive so I ran forwards a few more steps, spun around and kicked the knife out of one guy's hand before drawing my leg back in and kicking him in the face. The other people then dropped their knives and glared at me so I ran.

      I realized I was running alongside a massive wall and that I'd been stood in an archway before. I thought this had to be the great wall of China. I came to some stairs going the other way to the direction I was running and zipped up them, taking them two at a time and turning really sharply when I needed to.

      I eventually reached the top of the wall and began running back in my original direction. I kept running as fast as I can until I reached an 'invisible' barrier that just cut the wall in half. You couldn't see the barrier but you couldn't see past it either. I cursed and then panicked as I could hear the gang people coming up behind me. I walked to the edge and dropped down, clinging to a stone that was jutting out of the wall. I hid here until the gang had approached, looking for me and shouting as they couldn't find me.

      When I was sure they'd disappeared I climbed up and breathed a sigh of relief. I then remembered the task and reached into my pocket for a can of spray paint. One appeared, I pulled it out and started scrawling 'I survived' onto the pavement(?) of the wall and looked up when I saw some fierce looking Chinese people coming my way, about 9 or 10 of them in total.

      I stood up and waiting for them to approach, when they were about 3 steps away from me I spun and lashed out with my left foot, kicking people repeatedly as I spun closer and began whacking people with my hands, hoping I was doing the right thing as I kicked someone in the face. Eventually everyone was on the floor and I began to run off, tripping and apparating into my hotel room, sprawling onto the floor and laying there trying to catch my breath.

      The dream ended and lasted around 10-12 minutes.
    4. TotY Part 4 - Angel Falls

      by , 02-12-2013 at 01:18 AM
      I lay down to WILD at about 12:30am Monday 12th. When a picture formed in my mind I was looking at the moon. Then all of a sudden I was playing hockey on the moon and I hit the ball really far, went back to a memory of the hockey game I'd played that afternoon. I Recieved a compliment and a jet of water started to flow from somewhere and caused a river. I was swept away with this lushious blue water through a rainforest. I was sat in the river on a inflatable and came across some Rapids which quickly started to get out of control. I leapt out the boat at the top of Angel falls and grabbed onto a rock, clambouring onto the side of the drop. Then I saw a DC of my boyfriend so I Sat next to him on a rock but suddenly he fell off and into the water below. Even though I knew he was a DC I plunged down after him, falling through the air for what felt like a lifetime in a (hopefully) elegant swan dive. WHen I eventually hit the water I used a bubble charm to swim underwater to look for the DC but gave up the search after about 20 minutes of nothing. Then I climbed out and walked into the rainforest before apparating to a street in London, It had the typical 1950/60s look about it. I walked down street with my hockey stick (picked up from beside the pool) over my arm and when I reached a phone box I phoned my boyfriend. The dream ended soon after we met up, him in a waistcoat and top hat (self note, top hat acquired next day)

    5. TotY Part 3 - Antartica

      by , 02-04-2013 at 12:22 AM
      This WILD occured at about 8:50 on Saturday 2nd February 2013

      I started off in the FAYZ, a zone in the 'Gone' series of books that is cut off from the rest of civilisation and has no adults. The FAYZ is in the state it is described as at the start of 'Hunger'. I'm walking around with Astrid and Edilio and we're all looking for Sam. After this the storyline differs because I get a phone call from my boyfriend and then drift off to go meet him. After I've spent a while with him he mysteriously disappears. I don't get too worried because I know it's just a WILD. At this point I remembered I'd intended to do a part of the TotY and apparated to the south pole. As I watched some penguins walking about I smiled to myself, hugged a penguin and then pointed my wand at a spot of snow/ice. I had no idea what I was doing so I just waved my wand and 'reducio'ed the ground. About 20m cleared so I walked into that little tunnel and kept clearing. As I got closer to the centre of the Earth it got warmer, but not unbearably hot as Science dictates, and changed to more molten colours (yellows, oranges. ect.) When I reacched the core of the Earth I found myself on a rock ledge with like a pit of lava in the centre. I looked out from my little tunnel and saw all these really strange looking little people skulking round the edge. They were really freaky and creeped me out so I didn't get a good look at their appearance because I didn't want to look at them ( honestly Katie.) But I'm fairly sure they looked slightly like Gollum from LotR.

      WILD and MILD-436n_gollum-lotr-posters.jpg

      Something weird happened when one of these little people passed my tunnel, looked at me and snarled, snapping it's jaws shut at where my wrist was before I jerked it out of the way, making my weird little yelpy, Nyargh, noise. At this I started to carve another path, bringing me out at the same rock ledge before starting to skirt very quickly around to the other side of the ledge. In my haste I am fairly sure I managed to push a little creepy person into the pit of lava () but I eventually made it to the other side and started digging frantically with my wand, quickly making my way to the surface of the Earth. When I reached the surface I came face to face with a polar bear, stuck my tongue out at it and apparated away to safety before waking up.
    6. TotY Part 2 - Australia

      by , 01-30-2013 at 12:08 AM
      Completed at about 7:10am Monday January 28th 2013.

      I was stood in Sydney, Australia, thinking about the tasks as this was a WILD.

      I decided I was going to complete the Great Barrier Reef one so transported myself to the sea. As I floated there I whistled and called a turtle to the surface before clinging to it's shell as it dived down. At this point I momentarily panicked about how I would breathe until I remembered it was a dream and I could do whatever I wanted. So I started breathing and everything was fine. This turtle kept swimming and I saw the most beautiful sight in my life. There were so many greens and blues and reds in the corals and it was gorgeous. Then all these pretty fish swan out from the coral and swam by us, not caring that I was human. Whilst I appreciated all the wildlife and pretty colours I noticed all the fish were swimming away and I saw a shark swimming towards us. Aha! I thought, this is good timing. I let the shark come closer and before it could bite me I thrust my fist out and punched the shark in the nose. I swore I remembered something about biting a shark so whilst it was dazed I swam across and bit down on its fin, bringing the shark back to concious thoughts and leaving it to swim away.

      I can't remember what happened next but I left this scene and was standing with my boyfriend in a burnt out building with a big sword in my hand. As I walked through this building I can only remember looking for zombies. I was with this girl I really dislike and she started hitting on my boyfriend and winding me up, trying to irritate me into punching her so she'd look like the martyr and get sympathy. Unfortunately for her she annoyed me too much and when we found a zombie I spin-kicked her into the creature and left her to be eaten. The last thing I remember is feeding this girl to the brain-suckers and then running. My parents then called me to get up and I lost the dream.

    7. TofY Part 1 - Africa

      by , 01-14-2013 at 10:55 PM
      This part of the task of the month involved bringing the Great Sphinx to life and fixing her nose then riding her to the top of The Great Pyramid. This is how it went.

      Sunday January 13th

      I started my WILD thinking about teleportation, particually apparation. I attempted to apparate and found it to be a success. Then I remembered the TofY and apparated to Egypt, just in front on the great pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. I brought my wand out of my pocket and pointed it at the Sphinx, realizing as I stood there that I had no idea at all what the spell to bring things to life was. As I stood there dumbfounded I just decided to wing it, pointed my wand at her and I thought 'This will work. Please work. Come to life!" and low and behold, she came to life. I began to climb up the side of the sphinx and then on her shoulder looked down and remembered I hated climbing. I squeaked "Please may you climb down so I can fix your nose!" And she started to climb. The Sphinx had been stood on a stone rectangle cuboid thing and so I dropped off off her shoulder and landed on this. When she stood on the floor her nose reached about my height so I set about fixing her nose, holding my wand up and crying "accio concrete!" NOt sure why I chose concrete to fix a statues nose but I did and the next thing I knew I was using a little trowel to sculpt a triangular nose onto the Sphinx's face. As I looked up I realized it was late afternoon when the sun is heading towards setting and everything's really really pretty and sun glown and yeah. At this point I looked up and realized I was next to THE GREAT PYRAMIDS OF GIZA!!! I was amazed. After this I turned to the Sphinx and said "Is there any respectful way that I could climb up to the top of the pyramid with you, could I cling to one of your legs as you climbed?" and she looked at me and in a silky sort of purr she said "Certainly young one, but most people want to ride on my back" and I looked at her blankly and replied "But that's not very dignified for you. That's not your purpose. YOu were supposed to eat travellers who didn't pass your riddle!" She purred a little giggle at this and started to climb to the top of the pyramid so I clung to her leg until we reached the top. As we looked out over the top I looked up at her and asked if that was Cairo over in the distance and she turned her head and said "It certaintly is my dear child." As we watched the sun set a little more she kept talking. "You spoke before of my riddle young one. Do you know the riddle?"
      I then recited the riddle to her (What walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs at midday and 3 legs in the evening) and she proceded to ask me if I knew the answer. When I answered with man and explained why it was correct (you crawl as a baby, walk as a child/adult and use a walking stick as an elderly person) she sort of smiled. "good my dear child. The youngest generation is not as hopeless as the myths are saying. Go on your way. As you said before, I have to spare those who answer my riddle correctly. Journey safely young one, the path ahead is a dangerous path indeed." She climbed back down and sat herself on her perch again as I skipped off into the distance.

      I then looked for a phone to find my friend, appeared in his room and then shook him awake. I told him about the TofY. Then I looked at him and said "I don't know why I woke you up. You're dreaming." He looked at me in confusion and said "No I'm not." I grinned at him and said "Yes you are! How else would I be at your house in the middle of the night? I can't drive, and my mum can't bring me here." He smirked at me, moved over so I could lie down next to him and said "Well you're so stalkerish I wouldn't put it past you to walk!" Then we had a conversation, I kissed him goodnight and left.

      Dream over.
    8. Searching for my Dream guide (Sunday 16th December)

      by , 12-17-2012 at 12:05 PM
      WILD 1

      I started looking for my dream guide as I had been given this task the night before and just before attempting to WILD had instead, fallen asleep. :L Anyway, I heard someone trying to talk to me so I turned around and saw a blonde woman, her appearance quickly morphing to that of a very tall man. I believed this was just another dream character so I turned around and walked away. Upon my walk I came across a man floating cross-legged in mid-air. He had an omniscient and omnipotent (all-knowing and all-powerful) feel about his aura and had short dark hair, skin that was neither pale nor tanned, a lithe build and noticeable, but not any bigger than regular muscles. We started to talk (say hello) but when I’d laughed in my dream before I’d managed to jerk my body awake and it was fighting to move so I jerked awake and lost the dream.

      WILD 2

      About 10 minutes later I attempted to re-enter the dream. I searched for the man again and as I knew what he looked like I found him easily. At first I asked him a question I can’t remember (thinking back it may have been how he was). After this I then asked him what I should do. This question refers to my current mind dilemma of not knowing what I want to do when I leave school as I have many options and I’m not really sure what I want to do (I want to be a doctor but I don’t feel smart enough) and I've read alot about dreams being used to solve problems irl. He told me “In the end, it’s your choice and your choice alone. Do what you want to, and what you can, do. However, (long pause) if you want my opinion, I think you should continue with your current goal.” I thanked him, ran out of things to say as my brain wasn’t working and, biding him a good day, walked off to leave him to what he was doing before I got there. I found my boyfriend and just chilled with him for a while until the dream ended.

    9. Monday 10th December

      by , 12-17-2012 at 11:48 AM
      I got extremely bored in my Philosophy exam and was the result.

      WILD 1

      I was in a dark room, remembering my past experiences I picked up a nearby black phone and phoned my boyfriend. I then found myself in a snowy wood with him, we started talking and I decided I had nothing to lose so I told him he was dreaming. We started to run down this little path before skidding to a halt. I asked if I could teleport him to the Falklands and he said yes so we arrived in the park at night. There were loads of beautiful stars visible in the sky so we climbed up to the top of the square rope climbing frame and lay on the top, watching the stars before I started to reminisce about the time I’d spent here, I knew I had to finish the dream before I lost it so I kissed him goodbye and left. The dream ended.

      WILD 2

      I was stood in a dark and creepy forest, a wand in my left hand. I threw it over to my right as I am right handed and heard a movement in the trees and somehow I knew it was death eaters so I started firing random spell at the trees. Then someone who looks like my boyfriend ran out of the woods yelling “Ginny!” As soon as he saw me he grabbed my shoulders, colliding with me as he stopped and his face split into a grin. “Rose! Thank Merlin you’re safe!” At this point I realized this person was Scorpius Malfoy and we had a conversation. We eventually agreed that I could fight with him and as we started to run through the trees the bell rang and I was jerked awake, losing the dream.

    10. Sunday 2nd December

      by , 12-07-2012 at 09:45 PM
      WILD attempt

      At 11:30ish pm I put my headphones in with pink noise for 15 minutes. I woke up with 4 minutes left of this so this lasted 11 minutes.

      I walked out of my house (it was nothing like my current house but instead looked rather typically American style with lovely white wooden features, quite large and pretty.) wearing jeans and thought to myself, 'What can I do?' As I thought this I almost instantly became invisible. My first thought was 'wow! This is cool!' but then as soon as I began walking down the street (by this point I was completely sure I was in America. It looked like most average American streets in late summer/early autumn time before the leaves have started to fall with wide paths on either side of the road with lots of grass) I realized that it kinda sucked because no one knew where you were and when you were on your own that wasn't fun.

      After this revelation I went to my boyfriend's house and climbed up to his room and through his window. "Hey! It's me, Katie! I'm invisible!" I smiled, standing by his window.

      "No way!" He exclaimed, climbing off of his bed and trying to look for me. "That is pretty amazing."

      "I know right?! Want to go play tricks on people?" I grinned, leaning against the architrave around his window.

      "Hell yeah!" He pulled on his coat and we both set off, finding ourself at, surprise surprise, a stereotypical American high school! When we got there I found a bucket of water in my hands and started throwing this water at people, putting the bucket down over my head (so it hid my face) and starting to spin it to confuse people. As I did this someone threw bright blue paint at me, creating a slightly human shape out of the paint in mid air. After this I dropped the bucket and ran with my boyfriend, finding ourselves in a tiny railinged-off little garden/park spot, that was surrounded by building on three sides (each building a different age and architectural style). We started to laugh together.

    11. First Successful WILD attempt!

      by , 12-02-2012 at 02:00 PM
      Yes, you read that right. I have successfully managed to WILD.

      At about 12:30pm I decided I'd try and WILD again, I had a few bad experiences the last times I'd attempted this but my room was very light and it's been over 24 hours since my last medication so I decided nothing could go wrong. I put some pink noise and 10 minute restless to learning binaural beats through my headphones, set my alarm to go off 10 minutes later and lay back to try and fully relax my body until it were asleep. I kept reminding myself in my head that I would be dreaming when the next thing came into my mind and soon enough I could feel my limbs beginning to have a slight twitch in them and images forming in my mind.

      I saw a coffee cup in my mind which then transformed to being on a desk that I was sat behind. I don't drink tea or coffee but I picked the cup up and took a sip. Looking down at myself I realized I had a smart business suit style dress and high heels on, neither of which do I normally wear. I had already convinced myself I would have been dreaming and by this point I had confirmed it to my brain. Looking up again the background of my position had formed itself into a typical office with a few plants in it. Laughing to myself I got up and started to walk out of the office, leaving the door and reaching a corridor.

      As I got to this corridor I wondered if I could run in heels, normally I can't even walk in them so I gave it a go and sure enough, normal running, in heels that were at least 6 inches high. This time I laughed aloud, "Brilliant!" I exclaimed, reaching down to take them off as I stood in the middle of this grey concrete corridor. "Absolutely brilliant! ... I really don't like this dress..." After I'd thrown my shoes to the floor I started to unzip the dress, sliding it off my shoulders to find myself dressed in my favourite jeans and t-shirt. I looked up again and found the glass wall that was at the end of the corridor to now be right in front of me. For no other reason than because I could, I decided to jump out of this window thing.

      As I started to fall to the ground, no glass impaled in me at all I realized I was in the centre of London. I hit the ground in a classic crouch with one hand on the floor, my first thought being 'Ow, my shoulder hurts.' As soon as this thought had entered my mind I realized that in actual fact, none of my body hurt. My conscious mind was aware that my limbs were twitching again, in correspondence to my dream actions so I stood up and began to look around me. "I have absolutely no idea where I am" I laughed, being completely useless at Geography. "Well this is great, I finally realize I'm dreaming and don't know where I am, typical Katie" I hit myself in the face with my hand, laughing at my own stupidity for both my lostness and the thought that had just crossed my mind. "Oh you are stupid sometimes. You're dreaming, you can do whatever you want to do!" I cried, grinning as I went to kick-off into the sky, intending to fly to where I wanted to be. As I got about 10 feet off the ground I had another brain revelation. "Wait, why fly, when you can teleport if you want?" As soon as this thought had crossed my mind I was no longer in the middle of London, a couple of feet off the ground but right in front of my boyfriend, who looked at me in relief.

      As I threw my arms around him in a tight hug I smiled slightly. "I missed you" I sighed.
      "You've missed me?!" he cried, hugging me tightly, "Katie, you've been missing for 20 days!" he exclaimed, pulling away to look at me properly. "I was beginning to think I'd never see you again!" I looked at him with anguish and confusion on my face.
      "But, I was at work... in an office in London... I can't have been missing..." His expression instantly turned to one of pity as he studied me.
      "Katie... you work in the RAF, you're a doctor, remember? You were taken from your office 20 days ago, you've never worked in London..."

      At this point I lost my grip on the dream and it faded because my mind decided it had to remind me about the coursework I have due in tomorrow! But I'm quite proud I managed to get that far! This whole process lasted 7 minutes as when I removed my headphones after loosing the dreams I had 3 minutes until my alarm went off.

    12. First two, and only two lucid dreams.

      by , 11-29-2012 at 12:12 AM
      These don't actually have any detail as to what I did or how I realized I was lucid, I didn't write that down and it's too long ago to remember now but it happened! I'm such a fail. :L

      Friday 28th September
      A casual Math's lesson, judging by our behaviour it's Monday period 5 but it's dark outside and the level of heat suggests it's the middle of summer. We are, as normal, discussing some complete rubbish and then we all decide to staple our books together and then Sir walks in and decides to help us and then staples my book to my face (very uncharacteristic for my teacher).

      Friday 28th September
      I'm sat in McDonald's with Kitty, George, Kathleen, Sam Burns, Nick and Ana. I'm chatting with them all whilst some people eat and I keep stealing some of their food and then can only watch and crease myself laughing whilst Kitty gets her foot stuck in the metal door shutter things that are in front of shops and is hoisted foot first off of the ground as she attempts to pull the shutter down for some reason. We've all come from Wales where we'd been working all day shutting down my grandparent's farm (which they've never owned) with all these strange animals and I get bitten by a lemur and almost keep the lemur and a monkey.
