Nice job on the Lucid! Shame it lasted so little time though

Nice job on the Lucid! Shame it lasted so little time though Yeah, but better than nothing Doh! I missed the most obvious dream sign last night, even thought it was very odd but it just didn't click. Saturday 15th March, 2008 Cooling Acres Resort Very erratic recall on this one with no discernible chronological structure, so this is just the events in the order I remembered them. I was at some place called Cooling Acres Resort. I recall seeing it on an employees shirt. It was a black shirt and had their name, which I can't recall, and Cooling Acres Resort written under it. The actual resort was a giant tree, the trunk was hollow or something, although I don't recall being inside. At some point they covered the tree up with some black material. I got the impression they were "Cooling" the tree. I remember being in a room full of beds. A bunch of family, friends and randoms were there. No idea what happened there though. I was at a desk in an office and a guy from the lottery with a really high pitched voice called me on the phone. At first he said he didn't like my receptionist Rita, or may have been Liza, I'm not sure. Then he hangs up on me. He called back again immediately to tell me I won the lottery. I started laughing my ass off. I found it hilarious because I never entered the lottery. Felt like I was going to pee myself with laughter. Then I recall my cousin Simon saying "TBA". It's a joke from Arrested Development so we both crack up laughing. Arrested Development Clearly stemming from the last dream, in this one I was in the Bluth company building from Arrested Development. I'm searching on Michaels computer trying to find the process for clothes distribution to give it high priority, because I'm missing my pants. I find it, and do whatever I was trying to do, then look over and see some clothes on the desk. But they are stewie griffons clothes from Family Guy. So I go back to searching on the screen. I notice a tab called LD. I click it and an alarm application comes up. I think to myself that Michael Bluth must set an alarm on his PC to wake him up during the night so he can try and have a lucid dream. GODDAMMIT! I'm sitting there without pants on thinking about lucid dreams and it doesn't trigger than I'm dreaming. Why must I be so insanely stupid in dreams? Vampire at Work I was at my old job, but the place was combined with my house. I'm trying to rotate some light globes on a platform in the roof but some turntable thing I need is missing. Then Brian is pissed off because a shipment of stock is late and we can't finish our work. We're telling this to the boss upstairs in my house, and at this point I see some strange 4 legged bugs running sideways along the roof and down the walls. I have to dodge them. I then know somehow that I am a Vampire. I recall seeing Lana Lang from Smallville with vampire fangs, hissing at me. I don't know where that fits into the rest of the dream though.

Almost had no recall last night. I still woke up after each dream automatically, but couldn't remember anything from them. I was about to get up earlier that usual so I'd be a bit more tired tonight and would get to sleep easier, but couldn't bring myself to do it, I went back to sleep and remembered one dream, but only after lying in bed for 5 minutes trying to remember something. Then later I remembered some fragments. Sunday 16th March, 2008 Magazine Slave I was in some building for a magazine of some sort. I worked there. But I was dressed like a female in Torlenia (from Tide Lords books). I was still me, just wearing the big full body covering. At some point someone mentioned a storm coming, and I was thinking about how I needed to get home before dark or I'd be trapped in the storm. I met some little girl, 10 years old or so. She made the power go out somehow and then told me to follow her. She let me inside a building and to a computer which she made turn on with her mind. She was going to show me something but I heard someone coming and thought I would get in trouble. I went back outside and on the way came across my boss. It was a woman dressed like someone straight out of Bollywood. She commanded a lot of power and respect, so I bowed to her. I felt like I was a slave. Sometime later I was in a room with a bunch of people including my boss or master I guess. She was in a bubble bath and everyone was just standing around her like her entourage. Fragments - I was looking at a DVD case for something called Contemplation Part 1. It was a tv show based on the movie Scarface. - I had hair growing on the side of my knee. I was thinking about how I might get rid of it. I recall watching a commercial or something where people were getting shaved... down below.

WILD number 3! Jeebus! It was SOOOOOOOOOO good. I feel like a god right now. And I did the advanced task! Monday 17th March, 2008 Flight around the Neighbourhood Status: WILD I tried to WILD on my back as usual and gave up after 30 mins because I couldn't calm my mind. I tried to go to sleep on my front and was having trouble, I ended up on my side and I was tried not to move and giving a basic WILD attempt without thinking about it, if I fell asleep I was fine with that. I started to partially dream without realizing it, not lucid. But I was still awake, it was intense Hypnagogics I think. I was sleeping in my bedroom on a mattress on the floor, watching tv on a big plasma screen on my wall (I don't have a plasma screen), my sister was in my room saying something about why I'm on the floor and I told her I can't sleep, so I have to move around. Then I realized I never moved to the floor and immediately the whole scenario faded. I continued to lie there thinking I was probably in SP already and could WILD. I just lay there trying to not think of anything. I started to get a pinging sound in my ear, like a sonar ping. It would happen a few times then a small explosion sound. It was freaky. It happened about 3 times, then there was a really loud explosion sound and I felt my body drifting like I was floating downwards. The explosion kept ringing in my ears as my neck and arms all slowly shifted position until it felt like I was lying in bed on my back instead of curled on my side. I then opened my eyes, confident I was in a dream. I was in bed, it was daytime. Excellent I thought, no vision problems this time. But alas, my vision was cross eyed slightly. I went out to the kitchen and my vision cleared very quickly. I gasped when I saw the backyard. It looked so real! But it was strange at the same time, it was too big. The scale was all wrong. I thought about what I wanted to do. Advanced task, bring something to life. I looked left toward the couch and spotted a Teddy Bear on it. I held my hand up and said "LIVE!". Nothing happened at first, then it sat up! I shook its hand, it felt like a real stuffed bear! And it was shaking my hand in return! I could barely believe it. It was standing on its own and walked part way down the couch. Then I told it to "Speak". I noticed my voice was a little high pitched. Nothing happened to the Bear. I said it again and this time my voice was too deep. This time it sort of worked, the Bear didn't speak as such, but it made a deep breathing sound. I said "whatever, dammit" and pushed the Bear aside. I had fleeting thoughts of ripping its head off, but decided against it. I went to the back door and tried to walk through it without hesitating, I bashed right into it. So then I moved through it slowly like I've done before. It worked no problem. I was about to fly, but saw someone near the clothes line. So I went over there thinking it was my Mum. But it wasn't, it was Claudia Black! (Vala in Stargate SG1 / Aeryn Sun in Farscape) Now I was distracted by the idea of sex... as usual. I figured she wouldn't show up in my dreams again anytime soon, so I better not waste the opportunity. Spoiler for sexual content: I asked her to give me a blow job. She agreed at first, but then became hesitant right before I entered. She kept moving away from me, so I said screw it and pulled her pants down. This gave me a shock as she had a penis! For some reason it didn't bother me as much as it should have. I went for her mouth again, but she still backed away. So I gave up. I decided to fly. My plan was to fly around the neighbourhood and if my control was good enough I would take off to space, otherwise I would explore the neighbourhood. I walked out onto the grass and jumped towards the fence. It wouldn't work at first, I fell back to the ground but I never actually touched the ground. It felt like I was falling for a while then it began to turn the other way and I flew up. I went way up! I had a birds eye view and almost reached the clouds. I could see mist around me, like partial clouds. It was still so real though, I felt massive butterflies in my stomach and a wave of vertigo came over me. I could see for miles, just houses as far as I could see. The nausea soon passed as I stopped moving upwards. I drifted back down and landed on the roof of my house. I was amazed how my mind could construct it so realistically when I've never seen it from this angle. I flew over to my neighbours roof, more like moon jumping though. Then took off again without going as high, flew over a bunch of houses and landed on the one on the corner, marveling at how good something as simple as the top of houses looked. I figured my control wasn't good enough and I wasn't adjusted to flying in such a realistic dream, gave me nausea going to high So I gave up on my space mission for right now. I spotted a house with a balcony at the front, I recall that this house actually exists and was wondering how accurate it would be in my dream (I think I'll go for a walk after this and see). I flew over the street and landed on the very edge of the balcony. I looked to the house next door and saw a party going on. Damn, I chose the wrong house. I decided to stay though and jumped over the railing. There were glass doors that slid opened automatically. I looked up searching for an auto sensor, but there wasn't one. The door shouldn't have opened for me. Immediately it closed. I went to open it like a usual door but there was no handle. I made the motion anyway wanting it to move but it only moved slightly. So I pushed the door forward and it swung open (It's a magical sliding door that can swing open too!). Inside there was a bunch of people sitting around. I only recognized one. She was a Latino actress from TV. I can't recall what show she's been in, nor what her name is. She was lying naked on her stomach receiving a massage from another woman. Spoiler for sexual content: I did the same as before, but didn't even ask. I just whipped it out and held it to her face. She complied, and it was good. She rolled over and I was happy to see she was a real woman this time. I pulled myself away fairly quickly, I didn't want to wake myself up. I walked towards a hallway and just aimlessly started walking through the house. I considered all my goals I have written down. I could only recall a few. Fight Sephiroth, too hard to try now. Summon Jack Thompson and humiliate him. I could try that. I tried to summon him, but nothing happened. So I pulled out my mobile phone and was going to call him. I looked at the screen and it was full of garbage, the symbols kept changing erratically. So I gave up and pressed Enter, * to see if it would lock like in reality. It did. But the key symbol was very small and surrounded by garbled characters. I kept walking and entered a room with a couple of couches and a fireplace. It looked like a section of the Pool Room, a place nearby. Ken from my high school entered the room. I haven't seen him in 6 years. So I started chatting to him like this was real. He asked me about why I hadn't responded to his myspace message that he sent to my sister. I told him I don't use myspace, but I felt bad and told him I would track him down in reality. Then I woke up. I immediately got up and switched on the PC to type this up, doing a nose RC in the process to make sure it wasn't a FA. I remember 2 other dreams from earlier in the night too. I'll type them up later today.

[Hiros]

Here are the two dreams that came before the WILD. Canyon Of The Dying Lady I don't remember much of this one. I was on a river in a large canyon. I don't recall what I was standing on, but I was gliding around over the water like I was standing on water skis and being pulled by an invisible boat. There was a large chunk of rock coming out from the rock wall of the canyon and in that bit of rock was an ambulance... fused right into the rock somehow. There was an old lady in the back of the ambulance, she was marveling at the world around her since it was the last thing she would see as she was dying. I was gliding around this rock formation just watching her. Dream Within A Dream Don't recall the start of the dream. I was in a village with a large outer wall, like you might find on a castle, but made out of wood. There are some cages with people in it. Somehow they escape, although I don't witness it, I just know it happened. Then there are fireballs slamming into the ground in a swamp outside the village. I go out there and find a guy wearing dirty rags near the wall shooting large fireballs into the swamp using a catapult. I tell him off because the escapees he is trying to kill were innocent to begin with. Now I'm playing a Mario game on Wii. Its a 2D Mario game, makes me think of new super mario bros on DS. But I'm using the Wiimote to play it. The d-pad controls marios direction with Up making him jump. The motion sensor of the controller also controls his movement, but he turns into a large koopa shell and slides around instead of running. Now I "wake up" on a couch in a building, I know I'm still in that village, and I think I was dreaming about the Mario game. My cousin had woken me up, so I told him off for ruining my dream because "I was up to the third level!" My whole family, and extended family are there in the room. Its a large common room. I decide to stay up for my WBTB instead of going back to sleep, since I can't do that with the whole family there anyway. Then I wake up for real and do a real WBTB, lol

Holy frick that is awesome! Nice job on getting a WILD done, and managing to sustain it for such a long time with excellent recall! And Claudia Black = Instant Win

[unseen wombat]

winwinwinwinwinwinwinwin!1 That lucid was so awesome. I wish I could have one that good.

[Hiros]

Thanks guys. It was awesome. But... last night was even more awesome! I just woke up after a DILD! I managed to prevent myself from waking up too. It was even longer, and already bits are fading from memory. doh. I tried to WILD after a 2 hour WBTB. I was there for about 50 minutes and finally accidentally fell asleep normally. I drifted in and out of awareness for those 50 minutes with tonnes of little scenarios creeping up on me, but as soon as I became aware again, they faded. I lost sense of my body almost completely and got vibrations in my right foot twice. But I just couldn't quite get there. I fell asleep and had a bad driving dream, and this time I picked up on it, yippeee! Also, I've been reading Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming the last 2 days. It's really helped. I think the info has made me believe in myself more which is what has allowed these last two lucids to come so easily. And this morning I tried a bunch of new techniques for controlling my dream that I read in the book and had heaps of success. Tuesday 18th March, 2008 My Cousin Is A Bad Driver... Becomes Prehistoric Hysteria I was in a car in the roof of my house, above the garage where there is no plaster so you can see down through the rafters. I could see my cousin David in the garage below the car. Very strange. Next thing I recall is being in that car on a highway, in the backseat with David driving and someone else in the passenger seat whom I can't recall. We're driving along a suspended freeway and come across a broken stretch of road. Despite my yells of terror, we drive straight off the edge and fall towards the support beam under the road. I close my eyes and try to will us somewhere else, as if it was a lucid dream. I open my eyes and we're back on the freeway, safe. I ask them what happened? Then it dawns on me. I'm dreaming. I tell them to "Stop the car, its a dream!". They wouldn't stop. So I opened the door and jumped out while it was moving. I landed in a regular street in an urban environment. I turned around and saw the car moving away, it was blue. I lifted my hand and tried to move the car by swinging my arm around as if the car was on the end of a rope tied to my hand. It worked, the car was dragged off the road and then suddenly accelerated as I imagined it doing so. It slammed into a light pole on the corner of two streets and flipped onto its roof. I was ecstatic! I then tried to make it explode. Holding out my hand I imagined it exploding. It took a while, but after a bit of trying it worked. But it blew up in slow motion. It was very vivid. I could see the shrapnel suspended in the air with a big fireball coming up in the center I don't remember exactly what happened now, its like the dream glitched or something and I was in a different area, but still the urban setting. It was outside, but there were arcade video game machines and air hockey tables and stuff. There was lots of people around. Then I remembered what I had planned to do tonight if I was lucid. After reading EtWoLD I decided I should try and change the environment to a prehistoric era with dinosaurs. I had two methods to try, a remote control and the spinning technique. I reached into my back pocket searching for a remote, nothing. I kept trying to imagine myself touching one, it worked, deep down in my back pocket I touched the very tip of a remote control. I pulled it out and found a fairly chunky controller with heaps of buttons. I quickly scanned the buttons and saw mute. I looked around and saw two Asian women sitting in a boat, like a dingy, suspended from some kind of metal frame and music was playing from their direction. I don't recall what the music sounded like, I think it was Hip Hop. I pressed mute and the music stopped. I pressed it again and it resumed. Then I noticed everyone around me was dancing to the music, I found the pause button and pressed it. Half the people froze, the other half where still moving but in slow motion. I pressed it again, then looked for a channel button. I found them. It said "favourite channel + and - ". I pressed +, instantly everything changed right in front of me, with my eyes open. I was in a dance club now, complete with a disco ball. Everyone was sweating and dancing to the same music as before, that hadn't changed. I changed channel a few more times and didn't like the environments that came up. I can't recall what they were, but the last one was a basketball court surrounded by fences and some concrete walls. Then I realized that there was no way to bring up the environment I wanted, it seemed to be random. So I tried the spinning technique instead. I repeated to myself "prehistoric era, prehistoric era" and spun as fast as I could. When I stopped it had worked. The basketball court and the fences were still there, but beyond the fences I could see lots of trees. I heard someone call out and I thought that was odd for a prehistoric era. I looked around and nobody was there. I jumped onto the top of the wire fence and balanced there. I could see the side of a hill with a forest at the top, all a lush green. No dinosaurs. I started looking for them and spotted a small one near the forest, eating grass. Then I started to notice a lot more, they sort of walked into the scene. There were heaps of strange dinosaurs I've never seen before. Large monsterish ones with plates of armour and such. They were mostly greyish in colour. I thought about going out there and just walking among them, but I became scared. Not of getting hurt as I knew there would be no pain, but I thought if they attacked me I would wake up. I spotted a large Triceratops that wasn't quite a Triceratops, like it was crossed with an Elephant or something. For some reason, I wanted to try blow it up. It worked much easier this time. It erupted into a fireball and was gone. I tried on another one and it wouldn't work. It was like an Ankylosaurus, the armour plated one with a big ball on its tail. Except this one had a squashed face and looked even more menacing, with its armour jutting out in odd ways like it was made of rock. Since I couldn't blow it up, I tried to make it come toward me. I instantly regretted it, because it immediately turned around and charged at the fence near me. I quickly moon jumped up onto a concrete platform on the top of the concrete wall to the right of me. At this point I just wanted to fly. But I didn't want to risk it with dinosaurs around who wanted to wake me up. So I spun again trying for a random location. It worked and everything was setup the same, but the dinosaurs were gone and it was winter. The forest was also now a mountain with ice caps on it. I leaped off the platform and flew toward the top of the mountain. It worked just great. I landed on top of the mountain. It wasn't as tall as a mountain, more like a really really large hill, perhaps a 300 meters high or so. But the top was all rocky and covered in ice just like a mountain. Beyond it was a whole dwarf mountain range. Snow and ice as far as I could see. It was really cold up here, so I tried to make it warmer. It slowly worked but it was still a little cold and I couldn't get it any warmer. Right then, my left eye started to open. crap. I shut both my eyes tight and tried to concentrate on the mountains. I could still see them, but they were all fuzzy, like I was seeing through my eyelids. I started spinning as fast as I could. I just kept going until I felt detached from my body again. It worked perfectly. When I stopped I was in a park like area or a large backyard. There was a fence along the right and a deck in front of me with an above ground pool set in the center. Lots of chairs and such around the pool that looked exactly like the plastic outdoor chairs we have at home. There were heaps of people here, and I knew them all! I went from person to person seeing people I haven't seen since high school and even primary school. They looked just like they should. Although the primary school people were the height of everyone else, but still looked like their young selves that I remember them as. The resemblance was uncanny, everyone looked perfect. I spotted my friend Adrian and said hi. Then I kept moving, just looking for something entertaining. I saw a girl from high school near the fence. I never really knew her or spoke to her in reality, can't recall her name either, she was a year below me. She was facing away from me, I turned her around and said something but can't remember. Then I decided on the usual thing. Spoiler for sexual content: I pulled her pants down, then went behind her and lifted her up by her legs. We went at it, only for 20 or 30 seconds until... I then opened my eyes partially, I decided to get up to write this all down. I think the next task I will attempt is to go back to a dinosaur infested area and walk among them. If I'm not scared, they won't attack. And if they do and I wake up, so be it. But one of my long term goals is to ride on the back of a T-rex, so I have to try. I remember one other short dream that involved me almost dying, and a fragment. I'll add them later today.

[Hiros]

My Other Sister Is A Bad Driver I was in the backseat of my sisters car, she was driving and dad was instructing her (she's still learning to drive in reality). We were at a petrol station and I was searching for speed cameras. There were heaps of them all around the street and they glinted in the light, very easy to spot. We left the station and we headed onto the freeway, but we were going down the off ramp heading towards oncoming traffic. Dad wasn't paying attention. I yelled out but it was too late. We hit a brown car head on at a decent speed. I said out loud "I'm dead". And I believed it too, I actually thought I was really about to die. The crash occurred in slow motion and the car was almost turned into a cube. We were all ok though and then I started saying "Ohh God, I hope they're ok!" I was referring to the people in the other car. Then I woke up. Fragments - "USS themes are all right". I have no idea what this means, it was the only thing I could remember.

[PeteB]

Nice job on yet another long lucid, especially a day after the last one! I'm starting to get very jealous I assume that you managed to DILD through dreamsigns? With all these bad driver dreams recently, and it occuring yet again in you're dream, it may become a common occurance for you in the future!

[unseen wombat]

Wow. That's just... amazing. Two in a row. I'm jealous too. I tried spinning once or twice and it didn't really help me stay in the dream. I've also tried rubbing my hands, but that doesn't work much better really. How long do you get to sleep every night anyway. Do you not have to get up for work or anything? I'm lucky if I can get 7 hours of sleep. The weekends are really my only time to really try for lucids because I have to be at this f***ing job all the time.

[Hiros]

Thanks guys. The last two nights has really boosted my confidence. I highly recommend Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming if you haven't read it already. It seems to have made a lot of difference for me, and I'm only half way through it. Wow. That's just... amazing. Two in a row. I'm jealous too. I tried spinning once or twice and it didn't really help me stay in the dream. I've also tried rubbing my hands, but that doesn't work much better really. How long do you get to sleep every night anyway. Do you not have to get up for work or anything? I'm lucky if I can get 7 hours of sleep. The weekends are really my only time to really try for lucids because I have to be at this f***ing job all the time. Rubbing my hands hasn't worked for me either. I guess we each have to find what works for us. I'm unemployed at the moment. Quit my job as a warehouse store man a while ago to build a demo reel of my work, also the job was really shitting me . The place was so unorganized. Thankfully I had some money saved up. I want to be a modeler for a game developer. I have a degree in multimedia but no great work to show off and wasn't getting the time to do so with my job. It's now practically complete, just needs some snipping here and there and I'll be out pestering companies by Friday, or perhaps early next week, depending how long re-rendering some things takes. So... I have a lot of free time Once I'm working, I'll probably only attempt WILD and WBTB on weekends. But for now I give it a shot every day. I'm in bed at midnight (its past midnight now, so I'll have to adjust my alarm for tonight). Then I used to get up at 4:30am and immediately try to WILD then, but on Sunday I decided to wait until 6am, get up and do a full WBTB since my parents and sisters are getting up at that time and being noisy, then go back to bed and try to WILD when they leave and its quiet again at about 7:30. Then sleep for 2 more hours as I usually get 8 hours sleep and that works well for me. I've done this the last 2 days and had those great lucids from it, so I'm going to keep it up. However, I didn't get 8 hours sleep the last two nights because I woke up from my lucids after like 30 minutes and then stayed up to keep the memory fresh. So I feel a bit tired right now. Tomorrow I'll get some extra sleep regardless of whether I get lucid or not. Well, off to bed I go. I will get lucid tonight! ...please?

[Hiros]

Not a good night last night. Didn't get anywhere with WILD and then I couldn't get back to sleep normally either. I was damn tired, but still couldn't get to sleep for over 2 hours after my WBTB. When I finally did, I had a dream and remember remembering it after I woke up, but I was too tired to move or anything and I forgot it. It wasn't a lucid though. I had two dreams before that though, and you were in one of them Unseen Wombat Wednesday 19th March, 2008 DV I barely remember anything, and I don't even remember seeing anything. All I remember are two spoken phrases. Unseen Wombat said "I live near you so I'll check out your area". And someone else said "Hiros is the habitual dreamer of the month". Martin Wants To Kill I was standing by on a wooden platform suspended fairly high above the water on the edge of a giant lake. I know there was more to the dream before I got there, but don't remember. There was a pier further along the bank with a Ferry docked next to it. Ellen DeGeneres was standing on the pier with a bunch of school children. They all piled onto the Ferry and it started moving across the lake. I just stood on my platform and watched them leave, feeling the cool breeze on my face. I started rocking the platform for some reason. Quickly I became concerned that it would tip over and I'll fall in the water, so I stopped rocking. But the platform wouldn't stop, I kept making it worse trying to counteract the movement. So I had to jump off before it fell. I jumped onto a rock sticking out of the water and looked back to see the platform still rocking, its wooden stilts holding it up would pull out of the ground on each side as it rocked. I then jumped to another rock, then to the bank. I walked off through the woods towards where I knew my house was. On the way I came across a dead animal, it looked kind of like a deer but it was hard to tell because it was all ripped up and half eaten. It wasn't a real animal, but I knew what this animal was called. It had a large name with 2 words, they escape me though. I kept moving then I realized I had seen movement next to the animal, so I went back. There was a baby animal next to it, still alive. It looked more like a tiny fluffy dog than a deer though. There was also a guy there. He told me not to take the baby, but I did anyway. I started carrying it back to my place. I knew that this guy wanted to kill it. He kept trying to get at it the whole way home but I held him off. When I got to the front door I had trouble getting my keys out and unlocking it while still holding him off, he said something about breaking its neck. When I got the door open I gave the animal to my Mum who was standing right there. I saw its head looked like it was on a strange angle and thought the guy had managed to break its neck, but it was still alive. Next thing I know is being in the bathroom with the animal safe and wrapped in a towel. That guy was still there so I told him to "Get the fuck out of my house!". I screamed it at him over and over until he left. Then as he was walking away I said something about it being a shame because I knew this guy, his name was Martin (he's not a real person) and he was a good person. I didn't understand why he would want to kill an innocent animal.

[unseen wombat]

Woot! I made an appearance in someone else's dream! Bummer about the WILD, but you did have two great days in a row, so maybe your subconscious decided to take a day off.

[Hiros]

Never! My subconscious works for me! No slacking off! Got a good night sleep last night, got nowhere with a WILD though. Thursday 20th March, 2008 Assassination I'm in an office, working for some political leader on his campaign. There is a guy there that looks fishy. He leaves when he sees me looking at him strangely. Turns out he is a mole for my boss' rival. Now I'm watching from a remote view. I see a duplicate of the politician I work for invade his house. He enters their bedroom and shoots the guy in the head, then drags him out of the bed and takes his place. His wife looks over and gives him a strange look, he smiles nicely and she goes back to sleep. I see this happen over and over again in different locations. I also remember something about sitting on a banana, and an artificial pregnancy serum... I don't have a clue where they fit in though, but it was the same dream. Lost Prison I start out in a prison cell with Adam from high school. We have 2 mattresses in the middle of the floor and we're trying to write something for some reason. I don't know what to do so I ask Adam, but he refuses to tell me and I get upset, yelling at him to just let me know what we're meant to do. I draw fluro red lines across the page to mark the lines because I can't see the faint lines in the dark. The Warden shows up. Its my year 11+12 IT teacher, Mr. Howard. He tells me that my sentence is 8 - 10 days. I find that appalling and say that last time it was only 3 days. I try to find out how to do the writing task but he won't tell me. Adam hands him his paper and is let free. I realize its an essay about why you deserve to go free, and that the reason I was only in for 3 days last time was because I cheated off someone. Now I'm screwed, I'll have to stay the whole 8 days. Now I'm alone in my cell. I see myself in a mirror and I have a beard and long hair down to my shoulders, I look very rough and rugged. It looks quite cool actually. Sometime later I'm in the prison yard. A gang asks me if I want to be involved in a plot to kill the Warden. I kindly decline because I was involved in the last attempt and it almost got me killed. The other inmates start playing soccer. I stay out of the game and keep dodging the ball so I won't get stabbed by someone trying to get at it. The ball always seems to come towards me, so I moon jump up on the top of buildings, it continues coming towards me though, so I'm jumping around from building to building trying to keep away from it. Next thing I recall is standing in the yard with Sayid from Lost. Jack shows up also. Sayid and myself are surprised to see him and tell him he must leave before he gets caught by the warden. He wants to bust us out or something. I now know that the prison is on the Lost Island and I was one of the survivors of Oceanic 815. Another gap in my memory, then I'm standing with Sayid and the Warden. Sayid hands me a helmet with a video camera attached. He wants me to record a meeting between himself and the warden to be broadcast back to Kevin Johnson on the freighter off shore. I panic because Kevin Johnson is Michael and he would recognize me from the Island. But then I realize he can't see me as long as I keep the helmet on my head. I press a red button on the side to start recording. I don't recall what Sayid and the Warden are saying, but then Sayid walks off and some other random guy turns up to talk with the Warden. They are talking about something secretive and I panic that I'm recording it. I quickly leave and pull the helmet off, then notice the record light isn't on anymore, it must have turned itself off at some point. Next thing I recall is being in the prison cafeteria. All these female inmates come into the room, I ask where they've been and one lady says they were buying socks. I'm then talking to some guy about a DVD cover I find on a table, its the tv show Prison Break. The cover is empty and I wonder where the DVD is. The guy hits eject on a dvd played in front of us and the disc pops out. It says Prison Break and has a picture of Keira Knightleys face, looking very angry. The guys asks if I think the prison will ever invest in Blu-Ray players so they can get Prison Break on blu-ray. I say I doubt it, because HD TVs are expensive. Thats all I remember. Presidential Apartment I'm outside a large department store with a dark guy in an apron who works there and a delivery guy who looks like John Goodman. I don't recall what we were doing but Apron guy steps on a needle, then he keeps stepping on heaps of needles. He runs off because he's worried about catching a disease. Then John Goodman steps on a needle. I pick it up and look at it, there is blood on the tip and I think to myself that we could test the blood and see if its diseased. I put the needle back down and then a woman in a white lab coat shows up, shes a doctor. She looks at John's foot and I pick the needle up and offer it to her to test. She says she doesn't need it. Now for some reason we all go into a building that I notice in the car park of the department store, it looks like its been brought here on the back of a truck. The apron guy has reappeared and the 4 of us enter this building. There is a round gold seal on the front door but I don't recognize what it is. I go inside and see an apartment with very nice furniture, then I notice a big gold seal on the wall above the bed and register what it is. Its the seal of the President of the United States. Immediately we all start scrambling out and yelling things like "Shit! I don't wanna be involved in any stuff like that". I somehow know that this apartment has been stolen. We all rush into the department store and there is a kitchen area near the front. We go there and the apron guy complains that his teeth can't be separated. He shows us a tray of yogurt tubs with cheese around the outside. He compares it to his teeth because you can't separate them (the tubs are still connected, like when you buy a pack of 6 or something). I suggest he snap them off and then you can move the tubs apart. Now I wake up.

Friday 21st March, 2008 Ree Is Drunk I was at home and a bunch of friends were over. We were planning to go out somewhere. My friends ex-girlfriend Ree was there and was drunk. She kept saying she would drive. I keep getting delayed, until we finally left. I don't remember any more than that as I was too tired to write much down and now I don't remember any of it, although I did when I woke up during the night. A Horrible Mother I was staying at some random peoples house. A man and his daughter of about 6 years old. Her mother was dead. But then there was a scene where the daughter was in front of a mirrored closet door and her Mother was sitting down in the reflection. They were having a conversation and the little girl thought she was a ghost. I realized she was sitting in the closet and the it was regular glass, not a mirror. I realized these people where fooling their daughter into thinking her mother was dead for some reason. Sometime later the daughter was on the phone to her mum, thinking she was connected to heaven. I realized they were trying to make her religious like them by making their faith seem true. I had a huge problem with this so I tried to expose their lie by cutting off their phone call. I pressed the Circle button on my PSP and something this made the call hang up. The mother then confronts me in my bedroom and threaten to have her husband kick me out of the house. Next thing I know, the woman has kidnapped her daughter and the police are searching for them. I see them at a service station, the little girl is strapped into a booster seat upside down and backwards as this will prevent her seeing her mother alive. The Drug Lord I was driving a car, not mine. It was a nice blue coloured Holden or something. I parked the car at the end of a dead end road and then began walking along the street. I was heading somewhere, but I don't remember where. I then realized it was too far to walk and decided to go back. I went past where my car was and into someones backyard beyond the dead end. I cut through a door next to their garage and came out at the front of their house. I then realized I had gone too far and my car was on the other side of the house. There were now people here and a woman from the house had come outside to speak to them. She was dressed in a blue bathrobe. I waited for her to go inside, and then all the other people started cutting through their backyard. So I followed them, trying to blend in. When I got to my car, the people were crowded around it. I realized they were undercover police. I thought I was in trouble, and they asked me some questions about my car. I told them I had borrowed it from someone. They were searching for evidence and told me the owner of the car was a drug lord and may have been using me to help smuggle drugs somewhere. They found some animal bladders full of white power, but the bladders were made of bones and they opened and closed with a drawstring. One of the cops was then explaining to me how to do a secret drug exchange. They wanted me to go to an airport and give the drugs to someone, who they would then arrest if he took the bait. Thats all I recall though, I'm not sure if I went to the airport or not.

man your recall is brilliant! I wish I had such good recall! you have had some great lucids to I am looking forward to reading more of your dreams like. oh by the way love the avatar have you seen season 2 yet?

[Hiros]

Thanks man. I write in my notepad during the night every time I wake up, even if I only recall a single line. Then later in the day that usually expands and I remember more. Yep, seen season 2, eagerly awaiting 3 From what I've been hearing it sounds like its going to be completely off the hook. Had a dream about volume 3 a while back, page 3 i think. Alejandro was still alive and working for Sylar or something. And there were tomato people Saturday 22nd March, 2008 Fragments - Jerry O'Connell doing stand up comedy - Donald Duck with a red force field around him. Its attracting enemies, so he has to release a green force field from his inventory. Self Sacrifice This dream was intense... I don't recall ever having one like it. It started off scary. I was a prisoner somehow. I was being held captive by a native African tribe of some sort. They had circular pieces of wood that they would soak in some oil, this would make them flexible and they would wear them as hats, the wood would bend making it look like a yamulca. Ben and Sayid (Lost) were prisoners also, along with a bunch of other random people. Sayid had been placed in a large barrel of water with a rag soaked in the oil attached to his waist. Then his hands where chained to the top of the barrel. The rag made him sink into the water and he drowned. I was terrified, this was going to happen to me! I would rather be shot in the head than drown. I think I almost became lucid at this point. Like most of my nightmares, I started to think strange things about turning off "the game". Usually I then click that it isn't a game, but a dream. But not this time. I thought if I tried to turn it off the tribe would stop me and kill me faster. The next thing I remember, we had escaped and were running through fields. I was with the main group of escapees and Ben was off on his own. He started heading towards us, I was now scared of him. I ran away from the group to try and keep my distance from Ben. He caught up, but right as he did I found a strip of old film on the ground. I could see a lady in the frames with a large candle next to her. I knew this was my wife (not a real person), and Ben wanted her. If I destroyed this strip of film, he would never be able to find her. I had one of those candle lighters somehow and I torched the film strip. Ben was furious. He had a gun, it was a very old design. He then shot me in the head. I was happy to accept it knowing my wife was now safe from this monster. I now watch my wife's entire life through short visions. She grieves for ages, then eventually finds someone else. They get married, have kids, they're very happy. And I'm intensely happy for her. I see her on her deathbed with gray hair and somehow I communicate to her. I tell her that I saw everything and am happy for her. Its a profound moment that I've never experienced the likes of before. Then I woke up, and got tingles all over. Relationship Advice I was at my primary school. But I was an adult still and I was dressed in Jaffa robes (Stargate). People kept asking me for relationship advice for some reason. I don't remember any of this start part. Then at some point I was leaving the school. I throw some notebooks I had in the trash and was heading towards the front gate. As I was walking Angulie (from High School) and Michael (from Primary School) came walking up behind me and were arguing. I wished I had my staff weapon so I could shut them up. Then Michael stormed off in front of me, cutting me off. Angulie came up beside me and asked me for advice. I told her that sometimes someones personality just makes it impossible to get along with them (trying to hint that I thought Michael was an ass and she should dump him). Then I added that you need to determine where the problem lies. Bad communication etc... Don't recall any more but I think there was more. Sex Crazed Elaine I was at my primary school, again. There was a girl called Elaine (not a real person) following me around everywhere. She kept flirting with everyone, women and men alike. At some point we were in the principals office doing something. She went out to get some photocopies, and was feeling up the photocopy guy. I was watching from a disembodied position. When she came back she asked me if I wanted to get busy with her, saying she had a condom in her black box. I thought about it for a moment and recalled that we had done it many times before, so one more time wouldn't hurt. I said sure, then she opened up a diary she was carrying. It was a diary of all her sex acts. She started writting our names down, but using code names. She wrote Elanor *something* + Dorbell. Then I woke up. Principal Killer I was at my primary school, yet again. Someone had murdered the principal, so I took over as acting principal. Strange thing was, I wasn't me, I was an elderly lady. Yet I knew I wasn't meant to be her, it was a disguise. I had stolen her identity in order to investigate the crime. I went into the school late at night and headed to the office. I was worried about an alarm to deactivate since I didn't know the code. Lucky there were people there. They didn't pay much attention to me. There were people in the principals office, so I couldn't go in and look for evidence. I didn't even know what I was supposed to be looking for. I wandered around from room to room for a while before deciding to leave before anyone got suspicious. I would have to come back another time.

Yep, seen season 2, eagerly awaiting 3 From what I've been hearing it sounds like its going to be completely off the hook. Really? I have heard nothing of it but I totally cant wait to see it! It will be good to have sylar back up and running as usual Self Sacrifice dam what a intense dream! the part were syaid dies is quote bad, it must have been horrible to see. what was it like when you got shot I mean did it hurt or anything? The part were you speak to you wife again is nice Sex Crazed Elaine ha ha great stuff! Have you ever noticed how hard it is to turn people down in dreams, even whilst lucid? lol at the code names she uses

[unseen wombat]

I can't wait for the third season too. The second one was cool, but it was a let-down that it ended early. Have you guys been reading the online comic too? It gives a lot of backstory that you don't see in the show. That is intense that you got shot in the head. Was it like the time the guy threw the spear in your head? or different? I don't think I've ever been fatally injured in a dream. Watch, now tonight I probably will.

[Hiros]

Really? I have heard nothing of it but I totally cant wait to see it! It will be good to have sylar back up and running as usual I listen to the 10th wonder podcast (www.heroespodcast.com) and they had an interview with a few writers a couple of weeks ago. They said some things that made it sound completely awesome. And supposedly the action starts immediately and just goes beyond anything they've ever done. dam what a intense dream! the part were syaid dies is quote bad, it must have been horrible to see. what was it like when you got shot I mean did it hurt or anything? It was more like he pulled the gun on me, i remember what it looked like and having a feeling of contentment, then suddenly having visions of all thats stuff. I didn't experience the actual shot, but knew it had occurred. Have you ever noticed how hard it is to turn people down in dreams, even whilst lucid? Ohh yeah. I think its harder to turn them down in lucids. In a regular dream I often won't pursue anything because we're in public or some such. But in a lucid, I know there are no consequences so I can't keep myself off them no matter how much I tell myself I won't pursue it when I'm awake. It's too bad this particular dream had to end when it did. I can't wait for the third season too. The second one was cool, but it was a let-down that it ended early. Have you guys been reading the online comic too? It gives a lot of backstory that you don't see in the show. Yeah, I keep up with the comic too It's wicked.

Sunday 23rd March, 2008 Cloverfield I was in New York City with my sister, we were on a large concrete chunk floating in the water just off shore. I was looking at a magazine that was criticizing the Cloverfield monster. There were pictures of it saying "Turtle Texture" and other things I can't recall. In the pictures it looked more like a cross between the monster from the movie and a large turtle. I then saw a video of the monster sliding through a street on its turtle shell with soldiers jumping out of the way. My sister and myself then jumped across to a pier as the concrete chunk floated near it. I commented that this part of the movie was good, referring to the monster breaking off the chuck of concrete... even though it never happened in the real film. My sister then dived into the water backwards. She hit her legs on the pier and fell unconscious into the water. I panicked for a second then jumped in after her and pulled her back to the surface. Too bad I didn't try and breath underwater... a great dream sign.

[mark]

lol at the cloverfield turtle sliding thing ha ha! I bet it was a panic when you sister fell into the water Cloverfield was such a great movie! I still have not had a dream about it yet thanks for the link to that podcast mate I will check it out

[Hiros]

It's a pretty good podcast. I don't know what prompted me to have a Cloverfield dream. I saw the movie when it first came out a while ago, and haven't thought about it or had any reminders of it since... It just kind of popped out of nowhere. Monday 24th March, 2008 Fragments - Listen to a radio show about a national phone book. - Something about Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. I just remember Zack Fair's face. World Tour I was at an airport with Mayantha. We were traveling around the world. We passed through security and an Indian woman wanted to see my ticket. I pulled one out and she said it was the wrong one. I went through a whole bundle of plane tickets until I found one that had an Indian name on it, she accepted this as the right one. She then told me I should visit India tonight, because there is a great restaurant you can go too. I said we'll see, as I'm not sure what our schedule is but we were heading to California at the moment. We were then about to board the plane and I went over to a window so I could see the city we were about to leave. I don't know where we were, but it wasn't home. When I got to the window I saw a wicked sight. A thick column of black smoke coming from the horizon and then splitting into 4 funnels and twirling around each other. It looked like a horde of demons from Supernatural coming towards us. But I knew that couldn't be so I looked closer at the smoke that went right above the window, it turned out to be those weird spiky balls certain plants drop. Lots and lots of them, that at a distance looks like black smoke. Next thing I recall is being on the plane in mid flight. I was looking at a magazine and saw an ad for Moon Cafe. It has moon logo and there is a picture of an Indian woman in a cultural outfit sensually arching backwards on a table. I think this must be the restaurant the ticket lady suggested. A flight attendant then tells everyone to stop what they're doing. A girl opposite me is drawing furiously with crayons and doesn't stop. I think that she must be a slave that the owners of the plane are making work non-stop. I look around and see a man a few rows ahead looking back at the little girl crying. I figure he is her father. At some point during the flight the father gets up and starts walking towards the back of the plane holding a gun. He sweeps it across the passengers to ensure nobody gets up, I know he is planning to shoot the engineer of this drawing slave ring. He then points it at me for an extended period of time and cower in my seat, cringing my eyes shut and leaning over toward Mayantha on my left. The guy passes though, so then I clench my eyes shut waiting for the gunshot. It feels like forever, but it eventually comes. I look back and see the father dead on the floor and the engineer carries him to a back door and pushes him out of the plane. I figure he must have shot himself, or the slavers shot him before he could shoot them. The plane then lands on a road and drives through a few intersections, then takes off again right before it hits a building. I watch all this from outside the plane. Then I'm in my body again and I look out the window. I see a girl in a phonebooth, she waves to me and I know this is Mayantha's friend who we are going to meet up with later. Then I see a water park and think this is where we are going. Next thing I recall, we are approaching the front of the water park. There is a woman taking a roll call. She says all the original Beatles are here already and I now know that its a Beatles fan club meeting that we are crashing. Mayantha and myself are standing on a large electric scooter. It resembles an old Egyptian chariot, but of a modern design. The woman asks if thats a Beatles scooter and we say no, so she asks us to get off it. Then I woke up and actually caught that moment where I opened my eyes. I probably could have DEILDed from here, but didn't even think of it, doh!

[mark]

great recall once again man! lol final fantasy 7 was brilliant! definitely the best FF game there has been. Shame about not being able to do dream entry, I keep telling myself I will do the same thing every night but I always completely forget ha ha
