~ Vex Kitten's Journal 05/06 ~

oreironut: Hey there and thanks. This time of year usually inspires violent dreams. As for the end of that one I don't know what happened. I just absolutely loathed that copy of me. Must have secret part of me that I despise and want to kill off.

Marvo: Hi there again. Gives me the warm and fuzzies to know you read and are inspired by my dreams. Brings a tear to the eye knowing I'm an inspiration to someone. :content:

888: Welcome and thanks for stopping in. Hope to see more of you around here.



Monday Dec 25th

***woke up early then fell asleep again without jotting down my dreams. As a result of my laziness I'm sure I lost 2 to 3 dreams. :|


1- Laying With JH

Was outside an old university type building laying in the grass with JH. It was twilight and we lay next to each other staring up at the darkening sky while we chatted about some serious topic I can't remember now.
Anyway, at one point he said my name. I looked over at him and he quickly leaned in and kissed me. It was a very soft kiss that lingered there for a few seconds because I was shocked by what he'd done. When I came to my senses I turned my face from his said, "Sometimes stars fall and it hurts." I have no idea what the hell that meant but apparently it meant something to JH because he got up and left.
I sat up and watched him leave. Felt really horrible for hurting his feelings.



2- The Terminator & Dr

Me and a group of people stood outside a building that I think was a dance club. Think I was supposed to meet someone there. Never met up with whoever though because this massive guy who reminded me of the terminator (but bigger) burst out of the building and started a shooting rampage. People dropped all around. I probably would have gotten shot too except someone grabbed my arm and yanked me into a car.
I looked over as my rescuer attempted to start the vehicle. He looked familiar but i was too paniced to place him.
As soon as the car revved up the window on my side smashed open. Glass sprayed everywhere and a huge hand reached in and grabbed me by the hair. It started pulling me out but the driver of the car grabbed my hand and pulled me back in. He managed to floor it and we sped away from the attacker. But he persued us, shooting the car to shit as he ran up behind us.
The driver turned suddenly and we sped off. Eventually we outran the terminator guy. We parked by a lake or ocean. I think it was an ocean. I could smell a slight saltiness in the air. I got out of the car, shaking and weak in the knees. The driver came around and helped me stand steady. It then clicked in who the guy was. It was Dr. I said, "How'd you find me? Is this real?"
He nodded and held me tighter because I started trembling. I felt really weak and hollow. Dr sat me on the hood of the car, which I only then realized was a limo. There was no damage to it despite the fact that Terminator guy had earlier riddled it with bullets. Dr climbed on the car next to me. I finally felt safe and we simply sat there staring out at the ocean.



3- My Dream Guide. HIT

*** I was shaking when I woke up from this one.

Laid down intending to LD. It took a few tries but I eventually slid into a dream state.
I 'woke up' in my bedroom and immediatly got up. Don't remember if I moved to stand or was just instantly in a standing position.
Anyway, I finally remembered that I needed to find my dream guide. So before I forgot I simply called out, "Dream Guide."
Nothing happened. I was going to call out again when I felt the urge to turn around. I spun around to come face to face with the Joker. He simply stood there with his hands behind his back, staring at me. I instantly was filled with massive fear and amazement... so much so that I suddenly woke up.
If I could kick myself in the ass.. I would have did that repeatedly for letting myself get startled from that LD.
I honestly don't know whether to be happy or afraid that my dream guide appeared as the Joker. :|
((most likely took that form because I've lately been searching online for Joker pix to replace the ones I lost when my old comp blew out))

My stomach knots up just thinking about this LD.

Whoa, I'm a little freaked out now, too. The night before you had this dream I came across your Joker / self portrait drawing in the Artist's Corner. *** cue Twilight Zone music ***

I can see where you'd feel uncertain about having him as a dream guide, but at least you know you wouldn't be bored.

Great drawing, btw. :)

Hi Oneironut.
That little LD was quite the freaky experience. For the rest of the day and night I'd ramdomly get pissed off at myself for waking from it. And about the picture.. thanks. :content:


Tues Dec 26th


<< 825>>
1- Crying @ School

Roamed through a highschool peering into the classes. Looked for my own class but didn&#39;t care to actually find it. Came across a room that was encased in glass. Inside students were in a crowd and arguing. Can&#39;t remember what the argument was about but it made me depressed. My eyes teared up and I left. Ended up crying as I walked down the hallways, constantly wiping the tears from my face.



2- Sewer, Sisters, The Pink Roof

In in sewer type place with my sisters. The water was clean and shallow. One of my sisters was playing in it. I pulled both my sisters aside and explained that splashing about in sewage wasn&#39;t a good thing to do. To put a bit more fear in them I told them about the sewer crocs and mutant killer goldfish.
Sis MJ didn&#39;t care. She kept reaching down to spash her hand in the water. The water had deepened and I knew she was going to fall in. She did, fell over the edge but somehow managed to end up dangling from the ledge. The water had switched to being far below us.
Carefully moved to save her. We were no longer in a sewer but ontop of a tall building. My sister was hanging by one hand from the ledge. I pulled her up and we carefully made our way up the steeply slanted roof to my other sis MA. At the tip of the roof was a flat part that was about 6 or 8 inches wide. We walked on that and then me and MA jumped from the roof into the grass. The building had turned into a small shed.
MJ stayed on the roof trying to adjust a sheer pink cloth over it. Gold medalions dangled from it&#39;s edges. We spent the rest of this dream trying to adjust the cloth to drape perfectly over the roof.



3- Sunset & K

Strolled with K along a treed river. Noticed the sun was setting. The light was absolutely gorgeous. I whipped out the camera and started taking photos of everything. There came a break in the trees and I had a clear view of the river. Beyond that the sun was huge and hanging low on the horizon. Thin whips of cloud arranged around the sun and it looked as if curvy flame-like beams of light were spewing from the red sun. This was reflected perfectly in the water, the trees on the other side of the river were silhouetted against the blazing and unusual sunset.
I adjusted the f-stop and started taking pics of the sunset. During this time Id forgotten about K and she wandered away. After the sun had set I went to look for her. She was playing near a very deep but narrow stream. I told her to get away from it before she ended up falling in and drowning again. Told her that it cost a small fortune to have her funeral last time. Didn&#39;t want to have to go through that again.
She listened but as we left we ended up walking through soggy grass and eventually mud. K had on sandals and her feet were caked with thick black mud. I had the distinct feeling that she was going to drown in mud before we made it to where ever we were struggling to get.



4- Alien Pets

Hung out in someone&#39;s fenced back yard. Their pets, that I first assumed were small dogs, turned out to be strange little critters I&#39;d never seen before. The one was like a huge chipmunk with massive eyes, small black hound dog type ears and a black antenna that poked out from the top of it&#39;s head. The antenna bent backward and wrapped around it&#39;s head, the tip of it curled around onto the pet&#39;s face. The people explained that as long at they kept the tip of the antenna clipped off the creature couldn&#39;t fly away.
The other one reminded me of a small fluffy fox, except it had a row of hair that stood straight up all along it&#39;s spine. The hair shortened as it went up the critter&#39;s neck and tapered off completely at the top of it&#39;s head. The spiked hair was bright pink or red.
The owners were trying to get the creatures to fight each other but they wouldn&#39;t. The chipmunk pet darted off to the far side of the yard. It suddenly took a crap that was as large as the animal itself. This astounded me and I kept asking how that was possible. Simply watched the animals and wondered if perhaps they would give me one.



5- Ghost Photo

My sister MA was taking photos of a forest along the edge of a well groomed park. I was taking photos too but wasn&#39;t into it.
Kids played in the area. They kept heading back to a particular part of the trees, they&#39;d dash in and run out again, screaming as if the devil himself were after them. They kept doing this and so I went to see what the hell they were up to.
MA came along, I told her to take a photo of the kids as they ran out of the trees. She did and when we looked at the image on her cam screen we noticed an evil looking face floating in the shadows of the trees behind the children. It was whipsy, sort of looked like fronds of cigarette smoke.
I started taking photos too, hoping to catch a photo of the anomaly. But I couldn&#39;t catch it. My sister had all the luck and this enraged me. Well, I was jealous at first and then became angry. I gave up and sat on a bench and watched the kids toying with the spirit while my sister took photo after photo of the thing.

Whoa.

And, just think: You love the Joker...

That dream would have freaked me the fuck out, too. :shock:

Another lucid awesome&#33; How do you personally feel that your dreaming is going?

Recall is awesome ^_^

Oneironaut: That one scared me wide awake but I&#39;d give anything for the chance to go back and play that dream out. I think the fear level was more intense from seeing the Joker than it was when I met up with Freddy Kruger in a dream. I imagine my face probably looked something like this... :holyshit:. haha


Zeek: I think my dreaming has hit a plateau. I haven&#39;t had the time to really focus on it like I want to so things are going so-so at the moment.
Lucid dreaming wise, I realized that if I WILD then the LD continues on in an experimental way. If I have a DILD I usually go with the flow of the dream. I can&#39;t seem to WILD as easily as I used to but I think that&#39;s due to the stress of the holiday season.
Can&#39;t say I&#39;m disappointed though. I&#39;ll take any shape or form of LD I can get.




Wed Dec 27th

1- TOL Judging

Me, my partner and the guys we fought were all sitting around a Christmas tree waiting for the results of our match. We finally got them. The guys&#39; were all wrapped up nicely in gift boxes and bags. Mine results were scribbled messily out on a ragged strip of wrapping paper.
Mine basically said that my last attack was nullified because I warped the shape of the arena. The result of the nullification meant that my team lost major points... meaning we lost the match. My partner got mad at me stormed off. It was the guys of the opposing team that stayed with me and argued them my final move should be allowable.



**this is the only dream I can remember. woke up sick this day







Thurs Dec 28th

1- Famous JF

Finally got to JF&#39;s house and his mother was preparing to take him to California to be in a TV show. JF was only 7 or so in this dream and as much as I hated to see him go I gave him a hug and wished him well. He went and was on some kid&#39;s show.
Don&#39;t know if time skipped ahead or what, but when JF returned he was older, like in his 20&#39;s. He had long curly brown hair that had the occasional streak of blond throughout. He approached me as if he were afraid I would hit him. I ran over and hugged him hard, played with his curly hair as he told me about how horrible life is when one is famous.



2- Snoring Rating

(since I&#39;m sick with a sore throat and stuffy nose, I slept with my mouth open to breath easier... ended up snoring really loudly hehe)

Lying on my back in bed trying to get comfortable enough to sleep. I close my eyes and started drifting off. I too, soon after, started snoring. The snoring was gentle at first and in my mind&#39;s eye there was a 3 digit number at the bottom left of my vision. Each time I snored the number would change to reflect how loud the snore was.
Also, at the top right of my vision were red words that would appear and disappear, each time they said somehting new. My attention was divided betweeen the flashing words and the snoring meter. Eventually I snored so loud that I woke myself up.


3- The Purple Jacket

Rummaged through a messy closet for clothes. The clothes weren&#39;t mine so I spent a great deal of the dream trying them on in attempt to find something that fit.
Eventually pulled, what I thought was a purple shirt, out of the closet. When I tried it on it fit me perfectly. I rushed to the mirror and checked myself out. The shirt was actually like a purple tux jacket. Instead of having two tails though, it only had one that come down to a point behind my knees.
Despite how odd the thing looked, I loved it, loved the way I looked in it. Almost delerious with joy that I&#39;d found something that fit me, I dashed outside to show myself off. No one else seemed to like my new jacket but me.



4- Candy Dress

Bored and strolled through a city looking for something to take pix of. Eventually came across this little girl of about 3 who was wearing a candy dress. It looked similar to the dress Lisa Simpson wears, except it was made of layers of colorful and semi clear lollipop type candy.
On her head was a hat that looked like a jagged candy crown. I begged the kids mother to let me take photos of her as soon as I got my studio set up. The mother agreed, I gave her a card and then hurried home.
Once there I tried to settle upon which building I wanted to set up the studio in. There were three buildings I had scoped out but each had some major flaw. It came down to trying to choose the building with the lesser flaw. I forgot about the candy girl.



5- Hollowed Tree

Walked a little used path through the woods alongside a river. Came across a very old, very gnarled tree that was hollowed in the center. I thought that if there were more light in the forest it&#39;d make a excellent subject for photography, or maybe I would eventually go back at night and light paint the tree instead.
A guy stepped into the trunk of the tree and disappeared. Out came a little girl dressed in a leather fringed dress. Her hair was long and wild and she looked upon the world as if she&#39;d never seen it before. I realized that she had come from the past, that the ancient tree was some sort of time travel gateway.
I made my way closer to the tree and was tempted to go in but fear kept me from doing so. What if I couldn&#39;t find my way back? What if someone cut the old tree down in the now while I was exploring the past?

Fri Dec 29th

1- Two Little LD&#39;s (unintentional WILDs)

(know i had two LDs but I can&#39;t now seem to remember the second one, as I was scribbling the 1st one down the budgies started chirping harshly. I yelled at them to shut up and when I turned back to write out the second LD it was gone from my memory... stupid budgies)

Woke up and adjusted my pillow. It was too flat. I folded it over to make it thicker. I then laid on my side, arms curled close to my body, and fell almost immediately to sleep.

Suddenly felt as if I were slipping forward out of my body. I instantly knew I was dreaming and repeatedly reminded myself that I was LDing. A few seconds later I was in a standing position but I couldn&#39;t see. At first I thought it was just too dark in my room but then I realized my eyes wouldn&#39;t open.

Struggled to open them, and after a short mighty battle to do so, my eyelids reluctantly sprang open. My eyes felt sore and dry and my vision was blurry. I then realized that despite my eyes being fully open, they still felt as if they were closed tight. Vaguely I realized I was probably feeling the still closed eyelids of the sleeping me.

I looked at the nightstand beside the bed. A little white teddy bear with a red bow seemed to glow out of the surrounding darkness of the bedroom. It moved, sort of twitched. The teddy bear then rapidly grew as I backed away from it, not knowing wtf was going on. I verbally reminded myself, "this is MY LD", so I wouldn&#39;t get startled awake.

The teddy bear grew so huge that it&#39;s head hit the ceiling and it bent forward a bit, as if it were glaring down at me. I back up against the opposite wall and stared up at it with my sore, open but still closed feeling, eyes as I reminded myself that I was dreaming. I didn&#39;t know what to do, I realized my control in this dream was nearly non existent... so I woke up.



2- The Cathedral and the Requiem

Wandered through a massive Cathedral. It was obserdly ornate, decorated with gold and silver. Massive marble statues and overly ornate decorative pillars and sconces were everywhere. It was literally breathtaking.
I wanted to find my way to the reliquaries but the church was too huge and maze like. I kept moving up. Whenever I found a set of stairs I ascended. Eventually was near the top of the church. Followed a lush red carpet and came to a thick set of doors. As soon as I opened them a crack the most beautiful music spilled out to greet my ears.
I squeezed quietly in the doors and stood at the back of a crowd of people who were listening to a chorus accompanied by music. I couldn&#39;t understand what they were singing but the feel of the music was heavy and somber. The voices seemed weighted with sorrow. I was entranced by the music. It echoed throughout the massive hall and seemed to resonate in the soul. Overwhelmed by the beauty of the sad music, tears began to slip from my eyes.



3- The Job & Johnny Depp

Handed in a resume to a stern looking woman. She disappeared down a hall and left me sitting outside in a lobby all alone. I thought this was good though. If I was the only applicant then I should get the job.
Beside me on a table was an intercom thing. It buzzed so I pressed the button down. The stern woman&#39;s voice was on the other end. She informed me that I was not the type of person they were looking to hire. There came a static like click and that was the end of that.
I was pissed off that I hadn&#39;t got the job and as I moved to get up out of my chair I heard a voice over the intercom again. Apparently they had forgot to &#39;hang up&#39; on thier end. I moved closer to hear the voices since they were faint.
There were at least two women speaking about me. Both, I think, had mistaken me for my sister because they joked and made crude remarks about what a whore and drunk I was. They also brought up incidents that were the doings of my sister... not me. This pissed me off even more to know that my family once again had fucked something up for me.
I listened to these women for a long time before finally getting fed up with them. I was going to barge back into their secret room and beat the crap out of them but as I stood I saw a guy who looked like Johnny Depp sitting across from me. He kept staring at me with this questioning look on his face.
"WHAT?" I yelled, "Quit staring at me."
"What bitches." He said and then smiled.
Somehow I ended up sitting on this guys lap as he told me some stupid story that had nothing to do with anything. It made me laugh anyway and I eventually left the building. I felt better than I had in a long time.



4- School & Kramerish guy& Ants

Walked through school, followed behind this tall guy who sort of looked like Kramer from Seinfeld. We went outside and he sat at a table with two miserable looking rapper wanna be white guys. I grabbed a free chair and was going to sit with them but noticed chunks of dirt on the seat. I brushed them off and as I did ants spilled out from the dirt lumps. I brushed the seat off and watched the ants scurry wildly all over the ground.
The tall guy offered me his jacket to put on the seat so I could sit down. I took his jacket but laid it on the ground and then laid on my stomach as I listened to the guys chatting. I had nothing important to add to their converstation so I stayed quiet.
I almost fell asleep. Sat up suddenly wondering if I&#39;d missed the bus. I looked at my watch and it said 5 to 3. Not believing it I asked the guys what time it was. 3:30 they informed me. I looked at my watch again and it said 3:30. I had missed my bus.
I got up and left. As I walked down the street I saw my aunt who asked if I was going on the trip to the water park. I told her I didn&#39;t have a ride. She offered to give me alift there if I paid her way in. I agreed and walked on. I noticed that my legs felt itchy. Realized that my jeans were filled with ants that were biting me. I paniced, stripped off my jeans and swept the insects off my legs. I didn&#39;t want to go to the water park after all, my legs were all swollen with red spots.




5- MJ&#39;s House

Was at my sister&#39;s. I took her son upstairs to put him to bed. He wouldn&#39;t lay still in his crib so I scooped him out and took him to my sister&#39;s room. We laid on the bed together and finally he got sleepier.
Just as he was about to drift to sleep a really loud snore woke him back up again. Apparently his father was sleeping on the other side of the bed and I hadn&#39;t noticed. I tried to sooth the baby back to sleep again but he was wide awake.
We went back downstairs and I told my sister that I hadn&#39;t realized her man was in bed. She short of shrugged and looked irritated that her son was still awake.



6- Lost K in NF

Living in the US again, me, TG and K all strolled through the dark to the nearest Wilson Farms. Got there, bought a bunch of candy. (thinking i must have been a kid again in this dream)
On the way back TG took us down a street that I didn&#39;t recognise. I looked at the houses and tried to get my bearings, as I did this K wandered away.
When I realized she was gone a terrible fear set in. This was NOT the place to lose a little kid. Me and TG ran up and down the street yelling for her. I screamed her name repeatedly at the top of my lungs. Rather I tried to scream but my voice was cracked and weak sounding.
TG took a side street and found her. Relieved, we decided to take a short cut back home and went down an alley. There was a fenced yard. I urged K to go through first but to be careful, there might be a dog inside. She dashed through just as a rottie charged after her. I jumped into the yard and started kicking the fence to get the dog&#39;s attention. It spun around and charged after me instead of persuing K. I leapt up onto the chainlink fence and slipped through a hole in the links. T crawled over too and then I wondered why we bothered to cut through the fenced yard when there was a clear path through the alley on the safe side of the fence. We caught up with K and continued home.




7- Great Uncle L & Cobras

Were at a gas station in a desertish type area. My great uncle L (who is deceased) was sitting on an old bench at the edge of the station&#39;s property.
I wandered out into the dying brown field of grass. As I did I&#39;d occasionally catch a glimpse of things slithering out of my way. I&#39;d try chase them but they would always disappear under the grass.
Eventually snake heads would rear up out of the grass as I approached. Cobra heads. I tried to retreat to the gas station but it seemed that the cobras had lured me into a trap. I was surrounded by them, their black heads poked up out of the dying grass all around me.
Somehow I made it through the snake trap and back to the station parking lot, which was nothing but compacted sand. Thinking I was safe I made my way to my uncle. To my surprise the sand started shifting and sand colored cobras sprang out and persued me again. My uncle only laughed like it was the funniest thing he&#39;d ever seen, as I was chased down by poison snakes.



EDIT: Went back to bed after typing out these dreams and had a couple more.


1- DREAM CHARACTERS&#33;DILD

I walked into an establishment (can&#39;t remember where I was coming from) and there saw a piano pushed up against the wall. I moved to the piano and wanted to play it but realized I&#39;d forgotten how to read music. I then looked around me. The place looked like a western themed restaurant.
Like a backhand to the face it occured to me I was dreaming.
I inspected the environment and the people within, they were mostly families waiting to be served. I wondered if they were real people I&#39;d seen in real life or completely fabricated characters that my mind conjoured up. None of them looked familiar at all.
I stood on top of the piano bench and cleared my throat and said, "Excuse me everyone, I have a very important announcement." When most everyone was looking at me I announced, "You&#39;re all... dream characters&#33;" they looked at me as if I was insane. "TRUTH.. YOU ALL ARE NOTHING BUT FIGMENTS OF MY IMAGINATION... DREAM CHARACTERS&#33;"Before I could get a good response from them the dream darkened and began to fade. I tried to hang onto it but I ended up waking.



2- Finding Molly

At a church that was having a baby beauty pagent. It was okay till the toddlers were stripped naked and made to try walk across stage. I felt compelled to say something but knew that no one would listen to me.
A little boy won the contest. He carried his winnings back to his mother who sat in a pew on the far side of the church. He dropped something and I picked it up. Carried it for him as we made his way to his mother. She looked at her son and looked away, completely uninterested in him and his accomplishment.
I sat in the pew ahead of his mother. It was the only one in the large church that had no other people sitting in it. The little boy climbed up onto the pew beside me and we waited for something to happen.
A preacher came out on stage and announced that we had to find Molly. She was hidden in the church somewhere. The church became a mass of searching poeple. They suddenly formed into something like a conga line and danced around the outside of the pews. Me and the little boy joined in. At some point the boy turned into a girl and instead of dancing she was dangling between me and the person ahead of me, spinning like ballet dancer, dress billowing out from her.
I looked behind me and noticed Molly was there. I yelled out, "MOLLY&#33; I FOUND MOLLY&#33;"
Apparently I won something but can&#39;t remember what my prize was.




3- The Bratty Girl

This one started out like I was watching a movie. A man and a little girl were walking and he was asking her all kinds of questions, trying to get to know her better. I think he&#39;d adopted her or something. The girl answered every one of his questions with a smart ass remark or something that made no sense. I could tell the guy was getting frustrated but he kept talking with the little girl.
They approached a KFC. At this point I became part of the scene. I walked with the pair and said nothing, only listened to the odd convo.
When we got to the KFC the man went in. Me and the girl went and sat inside of an empty garage. She was riding a training bike. I asked her why she was so mean to the man. She said that he&#39;d left her a long time ago and that bad things had happened so she was going to be bad to him.
I asked her what bad things had happened and she only stared at me as if I already knew the answer. I was going to ask another question but the man returned with his KFC. He began getting it out of the bags and I think he&#39;d intended to eat it in the garage.
"NO&#33;" I said angrily. "We&#39;ll go over into WestBrant and eat it. On the other side of the river is a nice."
The guy packed up his things again and we all left. On the way the little girl started acting bratty again. She wouldn&#39;t listen to the man. Or if she did she&#39;d make rude remarks at his converstation attempts. We all crossed the bridge together but I don&#39;t remember getting to the other side.

Sat Dec 30th


1- At Home Again

Lived at my grandmothers with the rest of my siblings and mother. I spent much of the dream cleaning up after everyone. I wondered how I could have sprang from the gene pool of such utter slobs.
After I finished cleaning I sat down to watch television. My sister and brother kept running in front of the TV, each time they did they pissed me off a little more.
My brother stopped right in front of the TV and said, "Enjoying your show? Oh, you can&#39;t see it cuz I&#39;m in the way..."
I snapped, jumped out of my seat and chased him through the house. He and my sister took off outside and I went to enjoy my cartoons again. Just as I settled in my mother shut the television off. She told me I had to clean my room. I argued with her that my sister should do the room, I&#39;d just finished cleaning the rest of the house. My mother started yelling back at me. I went to my room, grabbed a few sets of clothes and then tipped the dresser over and attempted to tip the bunkbeds over but they were too heavy. I walked out and told my mother I was leaving. I was sick of doing her job.



2- Saved the Universe

Me and some guy (can&#39;t remember who but I felt incredibly affectionate toward him) were engaged in a super serious conversation about how to stop the growth of a gigantic black hole that was rapidly swallowing up the galaxy.
I ran out of ideas just as the room filled with other poeple who were expecting me and the guy to come up with a solution. I admitted I had nothing.
The guy suddenly smiled and scribbled something down on a paper. The others looked it over and agreed that it might work. It had something to do with using the warped time around the black hole to travel backward and stop the black hole before it started, however whoever volunteered would never be able to return. It sounded crazy to me but we had no other choices.
The dream rapidly went through the construction of several ships that could withstand the warping of time and space. They then launched toward the blackhole and disappeared in the visibly scrunched and stretched wrinkles of time close to the event horizon.
Me and the guy were left alone in a throneroom type place, similar to the emperor&#39;s throne room on the death star in ROTJ. We watched the black hole. He turned and suddenly explained to me that if this plan worked there was a very real possibility that time and space as we now know it will cease to exist. It will be changed, rearranged severely if the mission was an absolute success. He then admitted that we might never be born, and even if we were there would be a high probability that we would never meet.... a fate that he admitted was worse than any other.
I stood beside this man and held his hand. I assured him that one way or another we&#39;d find each other again. We stood side by side waiting for whatever fate we had to suffer for saving the universe.



3- Crocs & Rajah

Rajah, a character, was real. She was dangling precariously from vines in a jungle type setting. Crocs circled below, waiting for her to fall.
Up in the twilight sky a very bright light blinked a few times. She knew it was her rescue but she couldn&#39;t hold on any longer. She slipped from the vine and slashed into the croc crowed water... and was gone.
I came along just as she fell and was devoured. The light came closer to us but whatever it was must have realized Rajah was dead because it lifted high into the sky again.



3- The Mobile Suit

I walked through a massive hanger staring at rows upon rows of giant mobile suits. They were all the same... generic and unimpressive.
In a seperate lower secret hangar, I stumbled across a suit that was plated with highly reflective material. The guy who was working on it jumped down from the suit and greeted me, asked if I wanted to watch the suit take it&#39;s first steps. "Absolutely" I said and the guy climbed back into the suit.
I backed away and waited as the suit warmed up. Once it did the guy announced, "Get ready to be awed."
The ship took a few steps but they were very stiff and uncoordinated. I knew that if I were at the controls of that suit I could make it work.
When it was apparent the ship wasn&#39;t going to work as planned a bunch of suited guys came and announced that they were going to scrap the project. I argued that I could make it work if they gave me a chance. After much frantic persuading I convinced them. I hopped into the cockpit and started messing with the control panel, certain I could whip the ship into shape.

1- Trucks

Was in a huge truck waiting in a traffic jam to cross a bridge. Got sick of waiting, edged out along the curb of the highway and managed to back past the traffic.
Finally got to a place where I could turn around but Drive and Reverse kept switching up on me. In the process of trying back the truck up and turn around, my vehicle scrubbed up against others and I almost hit some guy I used to go to school with. When I realized who this guy was I wished I&#39;d run the eternal prick over.
Kept trying to straighten out but the gears repeatedly switched. I tried to &#39;outfox&#39; the gears by shifting into reverse to go forward but it didn&#39;t work out.

Sunday Dec 31st

Here&#39;s to hoping the new year brings me (as well as everyone else) more LDs, especially WILDs. And with those WILDs may there come more dream control. :sheepishgrin:

*editted to add lucid tasks

Wow, that&#39;s an awesome year, congratulations&#33; You basically wrote a book&#39;s worth of dreams, and I for one am looking forward to the movie version. :wink:

The yearly recap is a cool idea. I think I&#39;ll do it myself...in about 11 months. :|

Happy New Year&#33;

16%? Wow. That&#39;s great. You go girl :P
Very nice having a year&#39;s worth of online dreams, and a wrapup post ;)

Hi Placebo.... yeah... 16% is mind boggling, isn&#39;t it. :roll:

When I found out that percentage I decided to start working on reailty checking and dreamsigns. All those dreams and only 50 something were lucid? I should be working on increasing DILDs to up the chance of LDing. But there is the fear that if I rely on DILDs I&#39;ll loose my scant ability to WILD. The WILDs are the experimental LD&#39;s in which i remember to work on lucid tasks or other dream goals. I don&#39;t want to loose that.

But anyway... I should thank you for those late night conovs. You were a great help to me so many times and I don&#39;t think I ever thanked you once for any of the encouragement or info that you offered. THANK YOU :hug:
