    Lucid Brew (Challenge Attempt #2)

    #329 - DEILD - 7:56AM

    I entered into a vibrational state earlier in the morning but my wife moved and wrecked it. without moving, I focused on a point in the center of the room and visualize a rising sensation. The vibrations returned but my wife did a full rollover. The vibrations lingered but slowly faded. I assumed it was all ruined but now I think I should have tried a nose plug. I feel back to sleep or fell non-lucid without trying again. I was highly irritated!

    I recall a few non lucid dreams... Ernest is a work making his way to the front during a plant-wide meeting. Instead of being bald, he has an exaggerated undercut. He looks at me intensely for a moment. I wonder when he grew all that hair. When he gets to the front the plant manager says Ernie has something to say. When he opens his mouth his hair starts to fall. He takes it off and now it looks like he had a long ponytail that was just piled on top. He adjusts and now it was just a super long beard wrapped around his head. I try to do the same thing but realize I only keep a short goatee. Someone tells me that I should not try to look like Ernie.

    I am in some version of my parents home. I have to pee really badly so I find a toilet. Unfortunately, is just a really small porcelain tube coming out of the floor. I do my best but urine bounced back on me and my khakis somehow close up, causing me to pee all over myself. I think that something feels really familiar and I must be missing something. (Almost lucid) I am too upset about peeing allover the place to thing about this any longer. I go change.


    I partially awaken and try to DEILD. This time I felt no vibrations; it was all visual. I forgot to be alert to this and end up in the dream slightly longer than I should have. At some point I realize that I am feeling the walls and the sensation is dream like. I look around and decide this is much more than vivid HI.

    Maybe it was left over residue from a non-lucid dream but I feel the need to make a "lucidity brew". I search this house; a mixture of past and current dwellings. I spy my nightstand though it's in an odd place. There is an empty water bottle. I fill it in a nearby sink, dump it out, rinse, and then fill it to the halfway mark. I feel like the water is taking too long to fill up and I worry about idle time. It tends to wake me up. Having thought that, I now have enough water. Now I need some yeast. I go back to the nightstand and find bits of paper. I look at one trying to form the word "YEAST". There is a bunch of words like something from a cutup page from a book. I try to read them and only see two words because the the text shifts and changes too quickly. "Monster" and "Cautious". Hmm this must have been something from the previous dream. I have no memory of this but I feel it's true. Anyway, I decide that if I just pretend this piece of paper is a packet of yeast it will work. I quickly tear and end and pour. Whitish-yellow powder falls out into the water. I pause now. I realize what I am doing it pointless. I'm going to start brewing something that could take weeks to ferment? It won't be here later. It's just a dream... Oh well, I'm too committed to stop.I worry that interrupting the flow of the dream will cause it do destabilize. I continue my brewing. Now that I have water an yeast I need something else to ferment. I search bottles on the nightstand and see some dark liquid in a small 5oz. I pour that in and shake it all up. I realize this is a really crude way to make a brew but I know that it doesn't matter here. I decide to put the mixture inside the nightstand so I can find it later. I'm still partially sold on the idea that it will be there when I wake up. It's at least worth a try.

    I walk away and wonder what the brew would do? Would it cause lucidity? Or induce greater control? I come back from my thoughts take in the dream environment. I pause a moment to enjoy the feeling of being in a lucid dream. I am really pleased with myself since I didn't get lucid earlier in the week. I really missed this. Suddenly, I recall wanting to find Dthoughts for the challenge. I am in a hallway that looks oddly familiar. I try expectation as I come to a room. I shout, "Aaaaaanddd, DTHOUGHTS!" Its a kitchen that looks like an old house of mine and empty of any DCs. I am truly shocked at this. I turn around to the door to the garage, open the door and blindly reach in really trying to find a hand and expecting one to find mine. I end up running my hand along the wall until I find an electrical outlet. I decide I to give up and go for plan B.

    I reach into my right pocket and pull out my cell phone, blindly push the touch screen say, "Dthougths." I put the phone to my ear and I am pleased to hear it ringing on the other end. After the second one a girl's voice answers, "Hello?"
    I reply, "Yes, I'm trying to reach Dthoughts."
    "Oh yeah..."
    I hear another voice from somewhere in the background, "I'm here." I know it's Dthoughts. The voice is of a young prepubescent boy. (Sorry. I have no idea how old you are!)
    The girl continues, "This is Mike right?"
    I am on the right track here... I think. "Yeah... No...This is XANOUS."
    I have wondered into the living room while talking on the phone. My Dad comes is from outside and starts talking about wanting to play a game with me. I put a hand up and ignore him as I walk out a second front door. I don't want any distractions.
    The girl has been saying something that doesn't makes sense to me. My attention was divided when my dad came in but now I refocus. "So just let me talk him."
    She girl responds more clearly, "Well you were just calling to say 'hi' right? Is there anything else you wanted?"
    Is she really about to hang up? I try to make myself more clear, "I just want to speak to Dtunes. (How did I f up the name here? Dtunes is an iPhone hack) I want to say 'Hi'." I realize I sort of repeated her and chuckle internally.
    Finally, she seems to get it and says, "OK. Hold on."
    I wait and listen to silence on the phone. While I am on hold I take notice of the area. I step off a curb and walk pasts a blue 80's model Buick parked on the street. The trees are a really bright green. I am on hold too long and have worries about waking up. Sure enough I feel like I am visually sucked into a black vortex and return to my physical body.

      That silence is weird. Maybe holding on is just a metaphor for holding on till there's another dream. Anyhow, I planned on making a brew for tonight that I will drink in a WBTB. Hoping it will help with lucidity. The brew in question is a passion-flower tea.

      I also happen to have dark liquid in jars stored in my bedroom. I also plan on making ayahuasca tea and I tend to boil it down to a few Oz. I also shake up bottles while extracting from Ayahuasca. Which is a white-yellow powder. I usually take a long time making those.

      Anyhow, very nice dream. I am 22 yrs old but I guess I am far from adult. Have maybe a high pitched voice when trying to be sweet to people. Good job lol! I will try my best tonight as well.

      Yeah maybe I'll continue that phone call tonight.

      Holy cow! I may have been way off with the voice but the rest of that? I wonder if there was some sort of strange and vague connection. Though I suspect It may just be a coincidence since I am preparing to brew up some Kombucha in the near future. Probably the second.

      Auahuasca.... Damn. I would give my left testicle to have an experience like that! Good luck and let me know how that goes.

      About the voice... All I knew was that you where in school from reading a few entries of yours. I didn't think maybe it was college or something like that. I'm sure I'll get it right now that I know your proper age

      Kombucha! Alcohol-like substance I suppose. I read that it is made by yeasting so I see how you would dream that.

      I don't understand why you would read Danger.. Caution.. monster in your dream though. There seems to be nothing out of the ordinary... I have to admit. I tend to think that there is demons inside me. Harbored from psychedelic use. I have had strange nightmares. That occured in sync with a storyline i experienced on psychedelics. In some dreams this demon posessed family members and made them crazy.

      I happen to have long hair which sometimes i put into a ponytail for comfort. get loads of comments on a beard although I don't grow ridiculously big beards. Maybe when I am older. I don't particularly dogmatize connections but one can't help but wonder. I suppose you and I share this mindset.

      Oh and i'll share the ayahuasca experience. It is most enjoyed with both testicles in-tact.

      Awesome dream man! Loved the whole brewing part! Do you plan on coming back to look for the drink next time? I'm wondering what your lucidity super drink would do.

      @Dthoughts, Kombucha has very little alcohol. It's more about it being a healthy drink than an intoxicant.
      As for the demons.. I used to worry about such things but I have come to realize they are self invented. Completely imaginary.
      Though I'd love the opportunity, I haven't experienced psychedelics other than that one time I did a gravity bong with something laced but that was a very long time ago.
      Beards and long hair go well together! Do it.
      I'll be waiting for your two balled report. HA!

      @NyxCC, Thanks. Perhaps I will look for it in another lucid but it needs time to brew. BTW I did look in my nightstand after waking but it had the usual things inside.

      I think I got another schema infection from your journal. Had a nld with some kind of self-brewing liquid in a cup, it let out termo reaction-like vapors. Alas, it didn't look very inviting or remind me of lucidity.

      Nice summon attempt on Dtunes! If you ever get the chance to find out what the "lucid brew" does, save me a glass, especially if it helps with dream control! In fact, save me a whole keg.
