    The Nameless Observer

    #240 - OBE - 3:21AM

    I notice either strong HI or a dreamlet of getting an email from an ex girlfriend who is now a friend of mine. I read something about her and her boyfriend (some name) trying to call me but I had changed my number. I get the idea that she wanted to tell me something important.

    Suddenly I gain awareness and come to vibrations in bed. Several times, I try floating up like the last OBE but only rise partially out of my body. I after a few tries I give up and try just getting out of bed. I stand up with ease and rush outside. The house is dark and it looks like it dark outside. When I open the front door I fully expect it to be cold but I am greeted with warm air. Just before I step off the porch I see a silhouette of a man running full speed straight at me. I crouch in a protective stance and brace myself. I am not afraid of the man but I feel like if he bowls me over I will end up in the void and possibly wake up. I stand my ground and as he gets closer I let out a worried moan. He stops with inhuman agility and stands before me with his head lowered and arms out in a menacing posture. I don't let that phase me and I relax. I ask him, "What is your name?"
    He lets out a nervous laugh and says, "I don't know yet."
    I shrug this off and change the subject, "Ok. Well... Do you want to go have some adventure time?"
    He nods, "Sure."
    Thought the man was creepy at first I feel comfortable with having him around like he is supposed to be there.

    We run to the end of the block and I see some people accross the street. I can't really make out what they are doing in the darkness but I am not too concerned with them at the moment. I try to think of what I wanted to do in this dream but I am having trouble remembering. Suddenly, I remember the email from just before this OBE. I feel like I need to talk to her and find out what's going on. I decide she is one of the people across the street. I shout out, "Hey Megan!" A woman comes over but it is not what Megan looks like. I ignore this and don't seem to realize this isn't right. I say, "Hey, I had some HI... I mean, hypnagogic imagery about talking to you by email. How are you?"
    The woman just gives me a blank stare. frustrated, I ask, "Well? Are you good? Bad? What?" She seems to understand something now and replies, "I'm good." I am so caught up in the worry that I am relieved to hear this, "OK good! Now give me a hug." We share a quick half hug and she runs off back to the over side of the street.


    I suddenly wake up.

    I have several other dreams this morning but one was a semi-lucid where I have an FA and recall a dream about meeting my father unexpectedly seeing my father in a public restroom and got lucid. I am in some old motel telling my family about this LD but suddenly I have to pee. I go to the same restroom and realize again I am dreaming while I am peeing. I become afraid that I will actually pee the bed but can't seem to stop peeing. I realize that I am not getting any relief and decide the best thing to do is to wake up and actually pee.

      Oh, another one! Congrats!

      He stops with inhuman agility and stands before me with his head lowered and arms out in a menacing posture. I don't let that phase me and I relax. I ask him, "What is your name?"
      He lets out a nervous laugh and says, "I don't know yet."
      I really like your new interrogation tech of dealing with agressive DCs. I never even thought about asking their names. It seems to throw them off-balance, which can be very useful in moments like these.

      Ha thanks. I'm starting to feel curious about where I'm dreaming these people up from. It seems like I am alone in a lot of my LDs so this is a nice change. Yeah, it does throw them off but it also feels like my own lack of imagination. It's a little disappointing.

      Well, I like your interactions with DCs, they make awesome stories. It's hard to make them intelligent, but maybe we can make them interactive by adding emotion to the dream. I find that a little bit of euphoria can go a long way when it comes to DCs.

      Nice handling on that DC! Love the way you co-opted him as an adventuring companion. This is the kind of stuff I need to do more of.

      And I'm rooting for you to finally find a DC that knows their own name. =)

      Too bad you didn't just keep peeing, start exploring the dream, and let the chips fall where they may. I had a pretty decent lucid one night when I just ignored the "eternally peeing" feeling and just starting walking around the scene. (Peeing all over the place, at least at first.)

      Or maybe you'd we the bed. Either or.

      Maybe if I get a little more excited it will transfer. Over to the DCs. Problem is I'm so used to this there hardly any euphoria any more to the point that I loose lucidity more often than I admit.

      I guess I rwally defused a potential lucid nightmare woth this guy. Its just a projection of your own mind but sometimes in the case of a full OBE experience I have to wonder. Either way the same tactics apply.

      For the pee... this time was REALLY urgent and the sensation of going way too real. I just didn't want to deal with that.
