Thread: The Journeys Of Lord Mustard

10/17/06

Not much recall tonight. I woke up around 5:15 and went back to sleep for an hour and a half, having these two dreams after I went back to sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dream 1: Mortal Combat!

-Abrupt drop into dream world-
I started off on some sort of school bus as I was getting off of it. I was in a very secluded area, with the entire road being surrounded by thick trees. I was standing at a "T" intersection, and the road leading off of the bottom part of the "T" went over a fairly shallow (mabye 1 or 2 ft deep) river. The river was about 30 feet wide, and filled with huge rocks. After looking around for a little bit, I decided to go lucid.I made the world more vivid, and looked around. I had decided I was going to fight someone in a duel of sorts, because I hadn't done that in a while. I noticed my highschool PE teacher ("Ray" from now on) sitting in a car across the bridge. He is a funny man, tall, strong, etc. In my school he has a reputation for being "God", so I figured he would be a good opponent. In this case he was wearing a green shirt. I asked him to fight me, and he accepted. We stood on opposite ends of the bridge.

In my dreams, fights tend to be an incredibly odd, physics-defying experience. For example, when I punch towards someone I will move towards them without moving my legs, and kicks will often make me leave the ground for seconds at a time. My body is usually invisible in all my dreams, and it gets all distorted feeling in shape when I fight. My vision usually goes a bit wacky as well.

I began by throwing a "sonic punch" (at least, thats what my mind calls it). I slid across the bridge, and my fist felt like it was moving through a thick syrup. I could see these air ripples comming off of my hand. About a foot before my fist connected (we met in the middle of the bridge somehow, though Ray hadn't moved) it became incredibly difficult to move my fist, as if I had hit some incompressible barrier. I let the wave go, and my opponent flew backwards. He then began throwing ninja stars at me! I threw him off of the bridge with telekineis. Thich was hard, as I could only move him about a foot in the air before it became incredibly straining. He landed in the river and then jumped back on the bridge. Now, he was two different people. I decided I didn't like these odds, so I tried to spin around and change my location. All I did was get dizzy . They were both throwing ninja stars now. One of them was wearing a blue shirt now, while the other was wearing a red one. I decided the only way to defeat them was to crush them under the rocks, because they were immortal(I don't like to give myself an unfair advantage by making my opponent easy. I figure if I can have telekinesis, he can have immortality ).

I grabbed the duo telekinetically, one at a time, and tossed them off of the right side of the bridge. I picked up some of the huge rocks (again, with telekniesis), and burried them. I went over to the left side of the bridge then. There was some kind of tiny boat made out of cardboard, like the cardboard fireworks are made out of. I cut it open, and found an incredibly complex cardboard pattern lining the inside.


----------------


Dream 2
This dream was pretty hazy, I had to put a ton of effort into it to remember it.
I remember looking at the boat, then ending up in the back of some military cargo truck type vehicle holding it. I got out at some building that had a bench in front, and a path leading off to the side. It was dark out, and fireworks were going off overhead. My mom offered the people sitting on the bench some "pizza". It was some odd dish that she had made the night before, which contained egg whites (among other things) in a pie crust. Anyway, they thought it tasted wierd.

I was then at my friends house. It was not like any house I have ever been in before, the hallways were very narrow. I was talking to him and his mom when his dad walked in. We talked for a bit, and I walked down this narrow hallway. I then ended up in a large gymnasium. There was some kind of banquet going on. I saw a bunch of my old friends (most of them went to college a few months ago), and talked with them a bit. Then I woke up.

10/18/06

Bah, no recal last night. I didn't get much sleep, so the dreams were all fragmented and hazy. As I was trying to piece the fragments of my dreams together my alarm clock went off and broke my concentration, so I forgot almost everything. I had almost 3 dreams pieced together too. I do remember writing a list in my dream, formatted like this. I forgot what was written on it after the alarm clock incident, though.

1.

10/19/06

Oh boy, this is a long one. B6 was invoved. I woke up around 4:00 (I did not look at the time, this is just a guess), and tried to remember a dream. Nothing. I only had the memory of an incredible sleep, so I went back to sleep. I woke up around 5:20, somewhat dissappointed the B6 hadn&#39;t done much(yet), and went back to sleep. Then, I was introduced into one of the longest 70 minutes of my life.


--------------------------------------------------------


Dream 1:The Hunted
I had entered a brick building with a group of friends. It was about 30ft long by 30ft wide. I knew this as the set from a show I used to watch when I was younger called All That (though, the similarity was only in name). The cast was a bit aggravated that I was there, saying I was disgusting and should leave. My friends headed to the bathroom whenever the director showed up, so she would not see that they did not have tickets to be in the building. I didn&#39;t either, so the 2nd time I followed them. The bathroom was gigantic, almost as big as the set itself. On the wall was written "All Shit", for both mocking the set and a bad pun on the fact it was a bathroom. There were maybe 20 or 30 people in this bathroom, and it was not crowded at all. We were watching the mascot cat for the show (though, the show has no cat mascot) do it&#39;s trademark dance. This "dance" was jumping in an ark about 6 ft high and landing 4 ft away.

Well, someone got the bright idea of throwing a bottlecap at the cat. When it hit, the cat crumpled to the floor. "Jesus Christ&#33; Why did you do that?" I asked. Then it hit me; we were trespassing, and we just killed a dancing cat. Someone tried to nurse it back to health, but it didn&#39;t work. One person volunteered to take the cat to the director, while the rest of us took off out the fire door leading out of the bathroom. There was a chain link fence around this building, so we had to walk along the side and out the front gate. A police officer was there and asked why I was in that kids show building. I had no idea (I was kind of abruptly dropped there), so I made up the excuse "I was with my sister," and continued working. I knew something was going to go down, so we headed away from there.

People in my dreams usually have no definite face, and I know them only by a feeling. Its difficult to explain if you don&#39;t know what I am talking about, but its that feeling you get when you haven&#39;t seen someone in years and meet up with and recognize them even though they look completely different. So people&#39;s faces morph in my dreams, but I can still recognize them. As such, I only know I had companions, and if I saw them I would know them... but I have no names.

There was a stadium to the south, and a river to the north. We figured a stadium would offer a good hiding spot... but then I noticed a wolf pack roaming that path. We headed north to avoid them, but they followed. One tried to take a nibble of my leg, but I jumped to avoid him (dream physics always allow me to jump at least 6 ft off of the ground, and the jump leaves me suspended in the air for at least a couple seconds). When I landed it latched onto my arm, but I calmed it down by talking to it and eventually scratching its belly. I took my arm from its mouth and it was only scratched instead of mauled. I asked, "Why did you not bite through my arm?" and I believe the wolf answered (someone did at least) "Your arm is all bone, it was hard to do." (yes, my arms are all bone. They have no substance in real life either.) The wolf pack decided to follow us.

We walked north, and crossed some river... and realized, that there was nowhere to hide in the north. It was almost all fields. We then went with out original plan to go to the stadium. When we got there, the wolves left us. They did not like civilization, so they went into the nearby woods. Our group headed up into the stadium. It was more like covered grandstands, but still. When we got to the top, I could see out the back, and it was incredible... but I do not remember what it was. I then saw the first of our pursuers, my old band teacher. He is not a tiny man, so he was reduced to just talking pictures of us. We knew we could outrun him, so we headed back down the grandstands and down one of the ramps leading to the back side of it. Some of us headed into a nearby building, while others went into the stores beneth the grandstand. The building my split of the group went into was a restaurant. I had the idea to hide in one of the cabinets in the back, so I sent some of my group members out to scout while I cleaned it. I realized I couldn&#39;t fit in the cabinet (much less the 4 or 5 people following me at the time ), so I had them follow me out the back door.

We came to the edge of some water. I thought we could lose our pursuers by following the shore line for a ways, so we did. We walked through some lilypads and tall grasses, and came to a bank we could climb. At the base of this bank was something in the water that caused a very weird tingling of the foot. I warned the people following me not to step in it, but a few did anyway. Someone called it "beehive foot" while he was complaining about it. After the beehive foot was gone, we walked along this bank for a ways. As we were walking, we walked in front of a "French graduation ceremony", a bunch of cap-and-gown clad folks standing in this park in the middle of nowhere. Well, it was in the middle of nowhere. I noticed a building in front of me, and entered.

I knew my pursuers were close. The building was a mall-like complex, with lots of very tiny stores and windows littered around. I had four pursuers; each based on a teacher I had in the past and my current principal. One of the teachers was nearby, but he is sort of scatterbrained in real life. I hid myself by pulling the classic chase scene gag; I grabbed a book, sat down, and read until he passed. I headed the other way after he went by. I noticed my principal hiding behind some glass door, but he was facing the other way. I headed down the other hall with my last partner nearby. Hazy memory later, I was alone. All four were after me now. The scatterbrain was coming, so I tried the book trick, but another of my hunters walked by and slipped a notice in my pocket. "Here, you forgot this," she said. It was a Saturday school notice.


----------------


Dream 2
Now, my friends and I were trying to escape doing time (in Saturday school of all things ). We got into this 14 or so seat van, and drove down the road of a city. The driver needed to mess with something in the back, so he made someone else take control. Then, I saw my principal on the side of the road. So did the driver apparently, because he exclaimed "I just had my license revoked by that guy&#33; This is not good&#33;" And yes, he did get it revoked because of his Saturday school notice. I didn&#39;t get to find out what happened though, as I woke up before I could find out.

10/20/06

I slept well, but very little recall. I had some fairly big tests yesterday, and they tired me out mentally. I remember browsing this forum in my dream, but it had a cool background image. The background was something like a wrinkled brown-paper bag texture. The monitor display was my vision though, so I had no keyboard or mouse(or anything else, for that matter) to deal with. I was surfing with a sort of browse-by-mind thing, which was pretty cool.

-RANDOM DREAM RECALL EDIT-

Browsing the forums brought back a dream I had completely forgotten about from last night (wohoo&#33. I was in an arcade. It was in a dark mall of sorts. Apperently, all the games were free and we had to stay there. I forgot why I was there, but I know other people were too.

Thats all. But at least it was something

10/21/06

Not much to say. Slept good, got up a few times, and remembered 3 (although, they are pretty fragmented) dreams. The first one was very meaningful (to me, at least.), unlike most of my dreams which sort of hint at a meaning but don&#39;t try to drive it home.



--------------------------------------------------------


Dream 1: Empathy
I was at some expo or something, there were tents and stuff all around. My vision would flash to this drown corpse every once in a while, and someone carrying it. I&#39;ve forgotten the first half of the dream, so I will skip to the end. The corpse carrier was getting closer now, he had been walking along for a long time now. I am in a house, in the dining room. It was located pretty close to the center of this expo thing. The dining room had sliding glass doors leading out to a deck, and then a yard of sorts... which was bordered by a stream. The corpse carrier is now getting close to the stream surrounding the backyard. I was talking with the owner of the house when this guy holding the corpse sort of came barging through the door.

Though I had seen the corpse before, this was the first time I had actually seen it. It was a 20something woman with black hair. She was very pale, and clad in some black/blue clothes. I was immediately overcome by sadness upon seeing her; like I had known her from somewhere. The guy carrying her (I believe he looked to be from india) set her down on the table. "Come here," she said. I knew now that she was only close to death, but kept herself alive to tell me (and the other two people with me) something. We gathered around. She reached out and touched my cheek. "Show me your most treasured memory," she gasped. I was no longer in that room, but living out a memory. Something about some temple or something... I can&#39;t remember (haha, irony). I do know that my subconcious made it up, though. But the emotion I was getting off of this memory was something else. "You have been living without emotion for far too long," she told me, "and you should stop." I promised her I would as she passed away.

I met up with the third member of my group, who wasn&#39;t at the house. I told him he had missed an incredible experience, and he sort of shrugged. Then I woke up, a bit shaken.


----------------


Dream 2
I only remember fragments of this one. I was floating around on some pond. I was on some kind of all-rubber inflated boat, but it had a cabin and everything on it. Someone ran into me, and bumped me off course. Something about a small dog and the water.


----------------

Dream 3
This one only has the end. I remember needing to fly 3 airplanes at the same time. I could do this because 1) I almost always drive vehicles in the third person, so I have a variety of crazy camera angles I can choose from and 2) once I got the planes to a certain altitude, they were allowed to fly on their own and not lose control. I brought the first one up by flying in a narrow, long oval pattern over and over because there was not much room. As I was trying to get the second one in the air, I woke up.

10/22/06

Oops, looks like I almost forgot to post this. Ehehehe.


--------------------------------------------------------


Dream 1
I started this dream off after a failed WILD. I was in my house, looking out the window towards my driveway. The neighborhood kids were messing with the driveway by digging it up. I was going to put an end to this. I stepped out my door, and I came out the other end of the door; it just happened to be all twilight zone-ish and standing in the middle of my driveway. I demanded to know why they were digging up my driveway. They simply took off, like any little kid would do. This part gets a bit hazy; I was too busy to write it down this morning, so I lost it

I met up with these little vandals in my front yard. Then someone else showed up. Then a few more people showed up. I did something. Then, I was at a party.

It was a fairly standard party, not too wild. The room it took place in was pretty big and had a bar spanning a bit of it. There was all kinds of food. Then, I did some more stuff, and waking up followed.

10/23/06

Meh, one fragment remains. I know I was standing outside of my house. I remember... nothing else. I know things were happening, but I don&#39;t know what

10/24/06

English class killed my sleeping time last night, I only got around 6 hours. I forgot these dreams originally, but something triggered its memory during the day. I only remember tiny fragments, but hey, its better than nothing.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dream 1

I broke something by running it over with a lawnmower. That thing now was sort of golden, and had tiny apples skewered on it.

----------------
Dream 2

I had to go buy some pigs for someone (the reason was something ridiculous, but I forgot exactly what it was). When I got to the pig farm, I just picked out two pigs and tried to buy them. The hideous lady pig-farm owned insisted that I come into her house to look at pictures of the other pigs. I obliged. Then, she tried to seduce me. Thankfully, I woke up before it become a nightmare.

10/25/06

It seems that wolves are making a semi-regular appearance in my dreams lately. Nothing wrong with that I guess.


--------------------------------------------------------


Dream 1: Aggravation

This one starts about half-way through; I forgot the beginning. I was with a large group of people. We were returning from some large beach, and were walking up this rocky hill leading away from it. Some wolves were walking by. I was enjoying watching them, but someone decided it would be a good idea to run up and try to get them riled up. Well, it worked. People were now getting attacked by the wolves. I ran up some wooden tower thing, and went through my spell menu (haha, too many video games for me lately) to find one that would not hurt anyone besides the wolves. I decided to personally kill the person that riled them up after I saved the rest of the people, but I never got that far.

----------------

Interlude
I can&#39;t remember if I woke up between the first dream and this one, or if I woke up after it was done.

I was holding a chicken sandwich. I lifted the top part of the bun off of it, and began talking to the patty. The patty had one parakeet eye on it; and I think it could talk back, if I remember right. Well, it needed mayonnaise to survive, so I put the top bun back on. I realized I probably covered its eye, so I took the top bun back off and removed the mayo from its eye.

----------------

Dream 2

My friends were over ay my house, and for some reason they all wanted to sit in my bathroom and hang out. I asked them to come out of my bathroom, because I thought that was sort of silly. They refused, insisting they were too comfortable in my bathroom, no matter how unorthodox it was. So, I left them alone and took off. Another friend showed up, stuff happened, and I was flung into the next part.

Now I was in a classroom. The friend that had showed up last decided to take a nap in class. Then the substitute teacher came by and told him to wake up. Then, the rather skinny substitute had this massive gut pop out from under his shirt. I fought the urge to laugh, but everyone else in class did laugh. So he tucked his gut in and became skinny again.

----------------

Dream 3

I had accidentally pulled off a WILD, going back to dreaming without my mind falling asleep... somehow. I wish I could do it when I actually try to.

I was moving as if I was in a car and looking out the passenger window. I was watching all of this scenery go by, and it was all very nice. I tried to influence it by changing the landscape that was going to come up next, but I only had mild success. For instance, I tried to make a huge canyon be the next thing I would go past, but I was going past a lake at the time... so the canyon was filled with water and it was a part of the lake. This went on for a couple of minutes before my alarm went off.

10/26/06

A few fragments from this night, something about bears. I didn&#39;t sleep too well.

10/27/06

Nada. I slept a bit too well

10/28/06

Same. I slept like a stone last night.

10/29/06

Haha, oh wow. That’s pretty much all I can say about last night. I woke up thoroughly confused, I can tell you that.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dream 1

I started off in some castle thing. I went outside, because some people were suppose to be cooking dinner nearby. The moment I stepped outside, a rain of arrows came from the opposing hill. The castle was on one side of a ravine, with the archers on the other. I needed to see if dinner was alright, so I ran. I hid behind some tree, and after checking on dinner (it was fine) I began firing arrows back at the opposing army.

After a bit of that, someone in my army claimed it was hopeless and that I should get to my horse and leave immediately. I saw the opposing army began charging down the middle of the ravine and walking towards my castle. I ran to the castle, up some stairs, and to a trap door. I dropped through the trap door, onto my horse, and jumped out of the third story of the castle with it (think action movie; only with an invincible horse). I sped past the invading army, and out into the world.

My commander (who was now a squirrel) and I came across a new town. This one was fairly run-down, but high tech. Most of the buildings were made out of solid, half rusted metal. The commander decided to get a drink of lemonade at this nearby food stand. Upon glancing at it, I realized it was a bathroom. "Tastes a bit salty," remarked the commander. I knew I was going to wake up in a few seconds, so I minimized the dream into my taskbar (&#33 and then woke up.

----------------

Dream 2

I had to drive somewhere. I had a trailer on the back of my vehicle, and for some reason it was filled with grass clippings. As I was leaving my driveway, I stopped... and the trailer kept going. It went maybe 50 feet and stopped, so I drove up to it. My parents had to go somewhere, so they drove away. Then, someone pulled into my driveway. This man and his son got out, and the man started whacking the kid with the shovel and generally causing a raucous. I decided I didn&#39;t want him causing trouble in my dream eden, so I killed him. I forgot how I did it, though.

So I buried him under some gravel. I figured that since I can rarely make things disappear in my dream, that burying him would cause the body to disappear. Sure enough, after being buried, moving the dirt revealed nothing underneath. All that was left now was to burry the blood he had left behind. Try as I might, I couldn&#39;t get rid of it. It kept oozing out. So I left, and started to walk towards my house. His ghost rose from the blood, and tried to attack me. I froze time to give myself time to think. The ghost was only a few feet in front of me, and frozen it looked like plastic, so I decided to make it melt. And melt it did; it became a nice puddle on the ground.

My dad then showed up. He had crashed the car, and had died. In dream eden, however, you re-incarnate if you die. So I asked where my mom was. He said he didn&#39;t know, and that she should have shown up by now. Then, she did show up. Her explanation was "Sorry I was late, I had to bleed to death first." We all got a good laugh, then I transitioned to the next dream.

----------------

Dream 3

I am not sure if I woke up between this one and the previous one. Either way, the setting was only slightly different. Now, I was playing some game. The idea was to damage the opponent. The person I was playing against was some floating ninja-star, but it was made of plastic and had a digital clock on the bottom. I raised my head above cover, only to get it sliced in half.

I realized that that approach wouldn&#39;t work. I raised my head, dodged the thing, and jumped over my cover to the other side. It shot a few hundred ninja-stars back at me, but I avoided them. This time I raised my head, and grabbed it as it came by. I grabbed a pocket-nuke that I had on my (&#39;twas in a grenade), and taped it to the star. I jumped over the cover, and it exploded. Then some of my friends were making jokes about my house now being irradiated. We had a mock war with more pocket nukes before I woke up.

10/30/06

I&#39;ve been playing a bit too much Morrowind lately, castles and morrowind references are showing up all over the place.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dream 1

Something about a castle. I had to go fight some people. I beat them somehow, and got some powerful blade (I could tell by the stat box that appeared when I looked at it). I grabbed it, and went to the next place. I sliced up some people, and when I struck them with this blade they chopped in half and shriveled up into two tiny green pieces. I stored these pieces for later use.

----------------

Dream 2

Stuff happened before I got in this one, this dream may have even been fused with the first dream. The architecture was similar. So I had to escape my grandmother and my cousin. I went to some tiny house. They showed up and asked if they could stay, I said no and went to an even tinier one. Then I woke up.

10/31/06

On a side note, I hate little kids. Especially the ones that think they are tougher than everyone and throw around swears, even though they are in 4th grade.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dream 1

I only remember one phrase from this dream. And that phrase was "Ald Ruhnt". Yeah, I have no idea what it means either. It was about some army from the city of Ald-Ruhn in morrowind.

Dream 2

I was filling up my car at the local gas station, when some kids came walking up. They were some sort of gang. The station owner urged me to leave before I got hurt, but I refused. I had backup, some faceless nameless woman. These kids needed to be stopped by violence, because they were incredibly violent themselves. One had a gun, and the other two knew some sort fo crazy dream kung-fu.

My backup went after one, and as I was keeping another at bay she got her gun knocked away. I made a beeline for the gun, and kicked it back towards her. One of the kids raised his gun at me, and I took it from him and pointed it at him. I almost shot him point-blank in the chest; insted, I thought shooting the shoulder would be incapacitating enough. Then one of the other kids tried to attack me; I proceeded to roundhouse kick him in the face, and break his nose. My partner incapacitated the third, and something happened. Then I woke up.

11/1/06

Haha, what a way to start the month. I actually pulled off a reality-check induced lucid dream... something I haven&#39;t done in years (ever? All the ones I can think of were spontaneous). All in all, a pretty good night. I think I need to get better at dream control, though.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dream 1

I started off needing to watch the house while my parents left. My sister was there, stuff happened, and I was thrown into...

----------------

Dream 2

...my grandmother&#39;s house. We had to catch a flight to Canada in an hour. We talked or something, then I went to pack. She threw some vitamins at me, claiming I needed a supplement for my horrible eating habits. I threw them in my bag, and after she ridiculed me for my packing abilities ("why, they aren&#39;t even folded&#33;") I finally finished. Then, I realized the flight was suppose to leave 2 minutes ago&#33;

Thankfully, the airport was in her backyard. I ran to it, and got in line to board the plane. Thankfully, it hadn&#39;t left yet. I went to get on the plane (it was one of those tiny, 30 or so people planes), but was talking with the pilot. I realized then that I had a bag of an illegal substance in my hands. I spontaneously went lucid, and the pilot wanted to turn me into the police. Me, being lazy or whatever, said "Don&#39;t bother. I won&#39;t be here in a minute." The pilot looked confused, and I brought myself out of the dream into waking life. I&#39;ve been trying to get up around 3:00AM to try WILDs, and I did succeed this time.

----------------

Dream 3

After failing the WILD by just getting up for about 3 seconds and drifting back to sleep, I went into a false awakening. I was thinking about the dream I just had as the dream world (I thought it was the waking world, and that I was just really tired) faded into existence. I went into the kitchen for breakfast, and my mother reminded me that we were going on a plane trip today. "Oh, that’s where that dream came from," I thought to myself. I headed to the bathroom, and looked into the mirror. I was shirtless, and much more boney that I usually am. I looked down at myself, and saw I was actually wearing a shirt. My first thought was that I was on mushrooms, but I realized that that wouldn&#39;t make me appear shirtless. After a few double-takes, I finally got it. It finally clicked that I was dreaming because something wasn&#39;t logical about this whole thing.

The first thing I did was stick my finger through my hand. I didn&#39;t look until it was through. It was pretty crazy feeling, and seeing it was enough to make me remove my finger. Then I sat there and wondered... what should I do? I had no idea. So I decided to try the lucid task from last month (the whole eating the clouds as a giant thing) by growing huge and breaking out of my house. No go, I sort of scrunched up against the walls of the bathroom. So then I tried to make The door leading out of the bathroom lead to some sort of bridge in the sky. Again, I failed. I opened the door to the disappointment of the outside.

Now I was in my living room, so I decided to go try and get my pet parakeets to go on my fingers (they hate fingers in real life). I was expecting things to not work by now, so this didn&#39;t work either. I went outside in my yard to try the giant thing again. I got about 40ft tall, but when I tried to get larger than that my body sort of jumped off the ground, breaking my concentration, and shrinking me. So now I decided to go have a stroll around my dreamscape. As I was walking around, it began to fade. I was determined to ride this dream-less state out, so I just calmed my mind and sat in darkness, trying not to become aware of my waking body. Sure enough, after a few minutes of blackness the dream came back.

After fighting the notion that I was going to sound like an idiot, I began yelling "Increase lucidity&#33;" I made the dream rise to such a level of vividness that it was actually MORE vivid than how I usually experience waking life. I decided to continue my roaming, trying out lucid powers along the way. By this time I knew I wasn&#39;t believing that the things were going to happen (bah, logic.), so I just decided to remember what I was thinking at all times during the dream for future reference. Troubleshooting, if you will. It worked, I think because I still remember exactly what I was thinking at the time.

I came to the corner of my house, and tried to make someone appear around the corner. The landscape was pretty void of people right then. So I went around, and just as I was thinking, no one appeared. I tried to fly, something I am usually good at, but logic took a cheap jab at that and stopped it after I flew about 10 feet. I went around the next corner of my house, and now there were people. The next part is a bit private(hint: , haha). The dream faded out, but this time I couldn&#39;t keep my mind off of my nose (fall has been wrecking havoc on my nose lately, its incredibly dry.). So I woke up, and spend the remainder of my half hour that I had before my alarm went off experimenting with HIs.

11/2/06

I forget most of it, just that I was walking. I was walking and walking and walking... it spanned multiple dreams, each one being a different scenery. My legs were tired feeling when I woke up, even.

Also, I went lucid really early in the night, and only vaugly remember yelling something and wondering if my waking body was yelling.

11/03/06

Dream 1

My physics teacher taught me something in my dream. It was an incredibly ridiculous formula, and it made no sense (but it did at the time).

----------------

Dream 2

I was preparing to go on a journey. So I was walking around my house, and I noticed a gigantic bird cage built into the wall, behind some plexi-glass. Inside of it were, you guessed it, hundreds of parakeets. I watched them for a bit. Then, my sister was lipping off to everyone (much as she does in real life; she is not a very plesent person). I was finally fed up with it, so I layed the verbal smack down on her. She became quiet, and I finished preparing for my journey. I woke up before I could go on it, though

Bah, time to catch up. Anyway, the part of my mind that controls my dreams loves irony. Thankfully, we share the same sense of humor. It really does make for some great moments, being outwitted by your own mind.

--------------------------------------------------------

11/04/06 : 11/05/06

This was on the weekend, so I have no entries in my paper journal. I do remember that both nights were incredibly fragmented, and I remember during one of them I was in a zombie-survival dream. I also remember the one after that:

The Dream

My friend and I rented a hotel room in a city. Stuff happened, and I had to walk back to the hotel room from across town. It was 3:00AM in the dream (I just pulled this number out at random some time during the dream). I walked past the school, walked down a road... and came to some construction site. I turned left, walked to a stadium, and then turned right and walked to the main road. Then, I woke up.

--------------------------------------------------------

11/06/06

Dream 1

Something about Indiana Jones, and black cats. Two of the cats were plotting against the other one, but the other one was hiding in the shadows and listening... because it was black, and can do that. I really wish I could remember what Indiana Jones was doing, though.

Dream 2

Somehow the plotting cats turned into me entering a store. It was a small store, and was in a mall. It felt kind of cramped with 5 people in it, typical of one of those incredibly tiny mall stores. The store owner was my friend&#39;s mom, and the store was a mix between a pawn shop and a head shop. The two or so display cases were filled with useless but awesome items; from glass pipes to glass ninja stars that, when viewed from different angles, changed color.

So I was looking around, and considered buying something. The shopkeeper and I talked for a while, and she asked me to not tell anyone where she was. She then said that I needed to leave; she was closing up shop. I promptly woke up.

Dream 3

After the short wake up/go back to sleep thing, I was back in the shop. I looked around, and the lights were still on even though the owner had left. I figured that this was illogical, and went lucid. I looked around, and behind the shop counter I saw a few bottles of absthine. I walked out of the store, and decided to try this month&#39;s lucid tasks.

I figured I would go for the easy one first. I walked around the corner, and found this blond. "Am I dreaming?," I asked her. She said "Yeah, but I need to go, so..." like it was something incredibly obvious. The second person I found was talking on a cell phone, so I left her alone. I continued to the lobby of this mall, and found someone from school.

"Am I dreaming?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"...maybe?"

After a bit of persuasion, lot of double takes, and much laughing, she agreed with me. This whole time, my mind had been urging me to end the world. So I told my friend that the world was ending soon, and that we should take a seat. I found a bench, and sat down. I gave a sort of mental OK to end the world. I sat there... and then I felt like some great joke (a funny one that I could laugh along with, that is) was played on me. My vision promptly faded out, I felt like I was being sucked backwards, and I woke up. I guess that is one way to end the dream world, you nutty subconscious.

I am on a ROLL, baby&#33; Three lucids in the past three days&#33; These were both pretty cool... and I got to meet my dream god (the subconscious), something I have been trying to do for years now. All in all, they have been pretty good days. I&#39;ll split the two days up for easier reading... they are pretty big.

--------------------------------------------------------

11/07/06

Dream 1

I (false, thankfully) woke up on my furniture downstaris in my house, using the blanket that my dogs sleep on. I went upstairs, and we had a cardinal in my birdcage. Stuff happened.

Dream 2

Now I was outside of some castle thing that belonged to NASA. There were 3 doors, one of which was locked. One was a very large door, and the other was a more normal, office door. I walked through the large one, blowing by the warning of someone I had passed on the way to the building. S/he had said that the place was guarded by some guy&#39;s dogs, and that I should not walk through the large door.

Anyway, I walked in, and stand there. The interior is something like a warehouse. A guy came from the other end with, sure enough, two brown dogs. "Wait a minute," he said. He walked close to me, and signaled to his dogs. They jumped up and grabbed some chains on the cieling, and pulled them down. Two chain-link gates dropped between me and him. As I was going to walk to the other part I either woke up or directly shifted into the next dream.

Dream 3

Now I was back in my house. Dracula and his wife were here, and apparently I was his son. I got a nice flash of memory from a (non existent) previous episode, and knew he had been beaten by someone. I used the bathroom, and watched the TV that was sticking out of the wall. I left, forgot to turn it off, walked back and turned it off, and then went back to the room Dracula was in. "You must avenge me&#33;," he said. Even though he was obviously still alive, I agreed. He then disappeared, leaving behind his coat.

"Did it work?" his wife asked. "Yeah, I can hear him in my head now. Great," I replied. I went out onto my deck, and spontaneously went lucid.

I had sort of programmed myself a mission before I went to sleep, and that was to check out this place that had been reoccurring in my dreams since early childhood. Before, it was some ruins a mile or so down the railroad tracks from my house. At first, it was open. It was made out of old marble, and had an entrance sticking out of a hill. There was a steep, almost slide like slope, leading into it. At the bottom, there was some raised platforms and some pools, in a sort of 3x3 checkerboard pattern. It was one room, with the 3 doors leading out of it sealed. Over the years the entrance to the ruins became sealed, so I wanted to go check out it’s current state.

I did some sort of backflip off of my deck that would have been impossible if real physics were in effect, and walked behind my garage. I noticed that, where there is usually a hill to go down and a tiny creek, there was now a large lake. Beyond it was the railroad tracks I needed to get to find my ruins. So, I tried to fly across. It worked, and as I was flying across, I looked back and saw who I always visualized my subconscious as. He looked much like the Chinese restaurant buddha; complete with the moobs and the huge head. I signaled for him to come with me, but he just smiled.

I landed on the other side of the lake. I was tired from flying, so I engaged SUPER SPEED and took off down the railroad tracks. My dogs were following me. So I was running, and where the subterranean temple should have been... there was now a graveyard (ooooh, the symbolism&#33. I walked into the graveyard, and noticed it was pretty pleasant. There were trees and gazebos, and it didn&#39;t feel at all like a place of dead. Even the crypts (one looked suspiciously like my ruins) were nice. I had met my goal, so I decided to try phasing through a wall as an experiment. I walked into one of the polls holding up the gazebo&#39;s roof and... hit my head. A friend from school was sitting in the gazebo at the time, so he stood up and laughed at me. I woke up shortly after.

See the above post.

--------------------------------------------------------

11/08/06

Dream 1

I was on some ridiculous quest or another, and came across a house thing. I knew I would need the items inside because of my dream intuition (like, I was replaying the dream... only I have never had it before). I entered the house thing, and came to some foot thick metal doors. Apparently they were like elevator doors, because I ended up standing in them for a few minutes watching them open and close on me. There were three sets of these, and I did this for EVERY one (why, I don&#39;t know).

So after that little ordeal, I got inside. The hallway was a T in shape, so I went right and went in the first room on my left. I was in a little girls room. The classic white walls, pink bed, you know, the whole works. She informed me that the house was filled with loot, but it was all upstairs. To get there, I had to go through this really, really difficult route. I wasn&#39;t aloud to fall, or I would have to start over.

It started on the girls bed. I stepped on the night table, and popped off a vent in the ceiling. I stuck my head up through this vent (I guess someone else did, too) and saw a bunch of board games. One of the games of checkers fell on the other guys head, and I got yelled at for "knowing that was going to happen". So I climbed up through the vent, and was on some really tiny beam. I saw that this wasn&#39;t the right way, so I grabbed onto the wood paneling on the wall and slid across that with great difficulty. Finally, I had made it to the bathroom. I stood on the toilet, opened another vent, and climbed up through it.

I had made it to my destination. I was now in an all natural wooden part of the house, and it was very old feeling. There was a wood desk, a bed, and some green copper looking wall dividing the room off. I opened the gate latch, and walked down the hall. I was going to see if I could find the stairs so that I could yell down them to my friends. Well, I passed two rooms on my way to the stairs. They were identical, olden-study looking rooms lined with bookshelves, but an old man was reading a book in the one closest to the stairs.

I made it to the stairs, but they were blocked with all kinds of things (suitcases, clothes, etc.). So I just yelled down that I had made it, and walked back. I looked for the old man, but he had disappeared without a sound. I walked back to the room I had come up from the vent into, and it turns out he switched studies. The person that kept being/not being by my side was now in the room with the vent. I fumbled around with the green-copper gate for a few minutes, and then the old guy walked in. He then proceeded to stab the partner DC with a knife, and steal his soul.

Needless to say, I jumped back down the vent and left quickly. I got into a car with someone. As the person was driving, they asked what happened to my two partners. "Oh, them. Their souls are trapped in rocks now; the man of the house was a necromancer. We need to leave, now&#33;" She looked surprised, and drove away. I woke up shortly after.

Dream 2

I was in some very rundown place. There were three houses, but they were all destroyed and burnt out. Some man had a shotgun, and shot some driver in a truck as he pulled in. I didn&#39;t know why, and I never did find out. A crowd of people showed up (at least one policeman, I believe), and the gunman hid in one of the burnt out houses. The crowd was talking about something, but I don&#39;t know what. So I grabbed a gun that was laying around and messed with it a bit, and then put it down.

I remembered that I was going to try and meet my subconscious, so I went lucid. I told the gunman that the whole world was only a dream, and that he didn&#39;t need to shoot anyone anymore. He went along with it. I walked out of the burnt house, and the crowd was gone. I yelled to my subconscious to show itself, and turned around... and there was Chinese restaurant buddha. He was wearing more modern clothes, but otherwise looked identical. He looked at me, and did that smile again.

I signaled for him to walk with me, and he did. We walked towards the cliff that these burnt out houses were on. I was at a loss for what to ask my subconscious/dream guide/whatever, so I just sort of basked in his presence. I patted him on the shoulder, and said to him "You are a good man." He looked at me with this all-knowing gaze, smiled (or kept smiling, I can&#39;t remember. He seemed very happy though.), and then I began to wake up. I could still feel my hand on his shoulder until I moved my arm after I woke up.

11/09/06

Well, the lucid spree is over now that I really have nothing pressing to do. I am not posting the last part of my first dream, because it was incredibly disturbing. It&#39;s not something that needs to be leaving my head, so it will stay there until I hopefully forget about it.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dream 1

The beginning was something about Gordon Freeman running around some industrial complex. I was playing an xbox at the time. Other stuff happened too, but I forgot.

Dream 2

I was with my grandfather, and he was driving somewhere. He needed to kill the "tabletop fungus" that was taking over his yard. So he drove down the road a ways, and we came to some part that had been flooded. He drove across the flooded road, and when the hood was underwater I gave up and just walked. I was fairly tall, and made it across just by walking. I looked back to see the car bucking much like a horse before finally sinking. I then saw two heads slowly coming towards me. My grandparents had decided to swim too. I commented on how many cars must be under that mess, and walked to town

When I got there I met someone from school. He talked to my grandparents first, and then me. I forget what we were talking about, but the dream ended shortly afterwards.

11/10/06

I had at least two more dreams, but I sort of sacrificed them for a better sleep... I had a test today. I did remember my last one, though. I was in a bowling alley, bowling with a few other people. Thankfully, dream-physics made this interesting... someone managed to throw the ball across three lanes and trip over themself, doing a double backflip. Somehow this didn&#39;t cause me to go lucid, though.

11/11/06

I thought the way I remembered my dreams from last night was pretty cool... I told myself "the sword is the key" in my groggy half-awake half-asleep state before catching another 20 minutes of sleep. So I thought of the sword when I really woke up and instantly remembered the dreams I had remembered previously.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dream 1

As always, I forgot the first part of this one. The first thing I remember is holding a sword. The sword was roughly 5 feet in length, and a sort of dark turquoise color. It was not very ornate; in fact, it was almost a straight blade with a non-sharpened end to hold on to. There was one tiny bit of raised metal above the handle.

Anyway, I lifted this blade above my head and started waving it around. It was pretty heavy. It was around this time that I started to pay attention to "our" (the group I was with) surroundings. It was night; a very pitch black night, with a few light sources behind me. It may have been raining. I was outside of some small town, on a dirt road. Then, these jellyfish-like looking things started skittering up from some ditch off of the side of the road. I then got to swing my new blade.

The jellyfish things came in endless waves. I swung and swung, but they eventually overran us. Stuff happened, and it was day. We had lived. Now, I was standing outside of a large building that was in the town we were by previously. Someone wanted to kill me. I saw this person coming up from down the road, and told my friends to leave me. After a very... ah, "floaty" dream duel, I won. My friends stepped out from the building, and stood at the steps. We talked for a bit, and I looked at my sword.

Dream 2

When I looked up, I was in a large dorm room, my sword in the carpet. I talked with someone there. Then I went to go get the free lunch that I had a card for at the cafeteria. I walked in, but forgot my free lunch coupon. So I saw a friend of mine there, and asked him if I could buy one of his free lunch coupons off of him, using money as collateral. He agreed, and I went up to get my lunch.

Dream 3

But now I was at my house. I got on some roller-blades, and went 15 miles into town. The town was nothing like any town I have ever seen, but was passed off as being a town I know. So I was going all around town, up hills (I would think this would be impossible in real life, haha), and all over the place. But I was hungry. So I stopped into the nearest KFC. I had no money on me, however. I walked up to the counter and I saw free lunch coupons. "Could I have one? I lost mine," I asked the cashier while pointing at the coupons. I was wearing a nametag from the college, so she gave me one.

I found a few friends and sat down with them. I told them of how I got two free lunches in one day, and woke up.

11/12/06

I love lucid dreams that are induced randomly.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dream 1

Stuff happened, I was in a house. Some woman was there with me. The first thing I remember was some disembodied voice demanding to know where its ring was. The lady and I scoured the house looking for this ring, but couldn&#39;t find it. The ghost voice kept demanding that we need to find the ring... and it was getting angrier because we couldn&#39;t find it. Finally, the ghost got too annoying, so I went lucid.

The first matter of business was to bump up the vividness. So I stood there and yelled "increase lucidity&#33;" three times. The second was to get rid of the ghost so that I could get the lady, if you know what I mean. So I stood in a spot and faced forwards, away from the window. "The ghost is behind me, isn&#39;t it?" I asked the lady. "Yes. Look out&#33;" she replied in a very frightened tone. I personally didn&#39;t believe that the ghost was behind me, so I did not turn around. I waved my hand behind my back in a very lame attempt to make it go away. I got a mental picture of an explosion, so I guessed it worked. My new lady friend confirmed this, but before anything else could happen I woke up.

11/13/06

Bah, I hate remembering the beginning of the dream and that there was a conclusion, but not what the conclusion was. It’s like a movie with no ending . Anyway, the dream sequence was dream 1 -> dream 2-> awake for 3 minutes -> dream 3.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dream 1

This one was pretty hazy. I was at some ruined science facility, doing stuff. I came to an edge, and knew there was some dog with lizard like traits over the edge. So I peer over, and see one of those little tiny off-white dogs, but its neck is somewhat longer than usual. I had to catch this dog by the neck. So I reached out to grab it and missed. Well, it got aggrivated and bit my large toe (which had no shoe on, oddly enough). I felt the most incredibly pane I have ever felt in a dream (or perhaps real life, for that matter). It was like someone took a bunch of tiny needles, strapped them to the jaw of this canine, and gave it vicegrips for jaws. My toe still hurts thinking about it.

So after that, my memory gets hazy. I pried it off somehow and had some showdown with some bad people. It was three on three if my memory serves, and I think that my team lost two guys, and the other lost three. But I am not certain.

Dream 2

I was in a pyramid, and noted that it looked kind of like tibia (www.tibia.com, if you are interested in screenshots. It was a game I played a long time ago.) in that it had an isometric top down, tiled landscape. So I went down some stairs and looked around. I was with a DC at the time, who I ordered not to open any of the chests or sarcophagi. Surprisingly enough, he listened. We went down a few more floors, got some gem, and went back up into the desert. I walked around the desert for a bit, and then woke up.

Dream 3

I started off in some modified, dark version of my house. I decided to play a game of poker with my local guild members (it was the future now, and I was in some mercenary guild). Then one of the black aces (the card, mind you) started to talk to me. I can&#39;t remember what it said, but I ended up playing a few games and getting mad that the card wouldn&#39;t stack the deck for me. So I walked outside, and due to random dream travel, I was at my grandma&#39;s house.

It was later, and I needed to go to the next guild meeting, so I had my grandma drive me. We got there 45 minutes too late for the meeting. Everyone was gone, save for the leader... so I was disappointed. Then, the guild house (it was something like a log cabin) started shooting rockets at the car. I went into UT2004 mode for vehicle driving, pulled up along side of it, and started shooting back with my own rocket launcher mounted on the back of this car. I took out their targeting sensor, so they stopped shooting back. I almost destroyed the place, got a "mission complete" notification in front of my vision, and went to the next place.

Apparently the guild had kidnapped my friends and stolen my mech when I didn&#39;t show up. So now I was going to the building that housed the location of the things I needed. It was desert-like scenery now. I moved forward (I am not quite sure how... I do not think I was driving or walking) across the desert. Some enemy mech popped up out of the sand, but I ignored it. I got to the base nested in some valley, but I woke up before I could do anything.
