The Golden Ability

- Something about a castle and a strange pulsing sensation. I don't remember anything else.

I Woke up, tried to WILD for 50 minutes. Gave up and went back to sleep.

I was in some kind of dorm room. Trying to read a book about a white knight. I also had a watch the whole time that I kept unclipping and reclipping with my mind (One of those watches with the metal band that snaps back over itself). Some girl whom I can't recall well (reminded me of Angelina Jolie but shorter) would come over and talk to me. Something happened and we had to escape from the head of the dorm who was also reading the same book and found out I was reading it. He was mad for some reason and was going to hurt me or something. To escape, this Angelina girl who could swim really well had to teach me a "golden ability". She taught me how to swim really fast like her by propelling my body with my mind. I could then also fly using this ability. We escaped through some underwater tunnels.

On the other side we were in a field of grass, up by a balcony above it. I was floating in the air holding onto the railing while the girl was standing on the balcony and telling me off for being so careless. She was talking about how she shouldn't have taught me a golden ability and the world was all out of sync now.

I landed and was then approached by Hayden Panitierre (Claire in heroes, the cheerleader). We were talking for a bit (I don't remember about what) then we kissed. I grabbed her by the upper arm, while a clone of me grabbed her other arm and we both flew up into the air, pulling her up. Then I pulled her up and hugged her close to me as I flew. My clone flew off on his own and disappeared. Then I realized, this is Claire, she can fly (even though she can't in the TV show, she can heal. But I just knew she could fly). So I said "are you ready?", then let go and we continued flying separately.

Now I don't remember what happened to Hayden/Claire, she just kind of disappeared and suddenly and spontaneously while floating in mid-air I realized I was dreaming. I got fairly excited and shouted out "hell yeah!". Then just continued floating in midair above the field of grass and thought about what I should do next. I decided to just take in the scenery and do whatever the dream threw at me. I clicked my fingers and fell to the ground. It was about 100 meters or so, I just free fell and landed on my feet in the grass. I was compelled to start spinning or something but started thinking about how its a dream and there isn't any reason it would fade just because I was lucid (something I read on this forum), unless it was the end of the dream anyway which couldn't be helped, so I didn't do anything. I just started walking to look around. I was on the edge of the grass field with a big gray building to my left.

The first person I came across was Catalina (the character from My Name is Earl). I just said "Hi" with a massive grin on my face and kept walking. Then I walked passed Joshua, a kid from my Primary School that I haven't seen in ages. Then I decided I should just try some things I wouldn't normally think about doing just to prove to myself that I could. I turned around and held my hand up toward Catalina and imagined a force striking her as she was walking away. She dropped dead just like I intended.

I felt guilty and repeated to myself "she's not real, I can do anything in my dreams". Joshua walked over to her and was all horrified and picked her up and carried her into the building. I followed and Joshua didn't realize it was me that killed her. I entered a room where Catalina was lying on the ground, but she was still alive, just lying there. Nobody else was around. I started to lose lucidity.

I walked over to Catalina and it turned into a sex dream. A few minutes later I could hear my alarm going off (It wasn't really set, so it was a false awakening). I opened my eyes in bed but could still see the original dream, like a double vision type thing, the dream was frozen. I reached over and turned the alarm off then closed my eyes again and willed myself back into the dream. Immediately it unfroze and continued, but warped into something else.

I was watching from 3rd person. These zombie like guys were in a chicken store, they'd overrun it and trashed everything. Their faces where all white and large gashes all over and bits of skin hanging off. Some skinny innocent guy walked into the door unaware and the head zombie grabbed him and said "my my, isn't it your lucky day". Then a police radio sitting on the counter was talking about a break in at the chicken place on something street (It was actually called something street). One of the other zombies said "Is that the one we're in?" and the head zombie said "Lets not take the chance". They let the man go and began to leave. Then I woke up for real.
_____

My thoughts:
It was really fun and the most vivid Lucid I've had to date. Not very long though and it degraded into a non-lucid sex dream .
The Zombie part wasn't at all scary. This seems to happen a lot lately. Things happen that should be a nightmare, but they aren't because I don't seem to be scared by them at the time.

Replicator Invasion

I was in some kind of sewer system and kept finding rats. I would catch them and take them to some guy on the surface (I don't know who or why). Then somehow I was in my house and kept finding Spiders, but I realized they weren't really spiders but Replicators! (An enemy from Stargate. Machines built from small individual blocks resembling spiders. They consume raw materials in order to create more blocks and replicate)

I kept trying to smash them up, and they would rebuild themselves. Then more and more came. I remember seeing them in all different shapes and sizes. They were miniature though, the size of real spiders rather than the rather large Stargate replicators. One was shaped like a tiny toy truck, but with spider legs instead of wheels. At the end I saw a massive toolbox full of replicator blocks coming down from the roof on a web. I was looking for something to smash them with but could see the blocks starting to come together and take form, so I fled out of the house. Then the dream ended.
_____
My thoughts: Disappointment. I didn't use any techniques tonight. I was hoping a break from trying might trigger a random lucid. But instead I barely remembered anything. Also the second Stargate element to reach my dreams in 2 nights... although I haven't watched any episodes in at least a month. Weird.

Haha, Im jelous, you got to kiss Hayden

Great dreams too, good job on the lucid!

Thanks crash.
I kiss a lot of girls in dreams, for which I'm glad as it makes them interesting. Don't get enough of it in real life I guess. Its usually just random people though, not anyone with an identity.

2 more dreams to add from last night! No LDs, but I think I'm getting a lot closer to a successful WILD.

Backwards Driving

I was driving my car down a road near my house when suddenly I was facing the other way trying to drive the wrong way down the street. There was a lot of traffic and I couldn't so I had to drive in reverse for a while until I came across the service station. I pulled in in reverse and waited for the traffic to clear then went back onto the road forwards and crossed to the correct lane. The whole time the radio was on in the car, and I remember the announcer talking about a competition to win a sony mp3 walkman.

My thoughts:
I woke up to find it was an hour and 40 minutes after my alarm went off! My real radio (that I use as an alarm) was playing, so it must have been incorporated into my dream, or even the reason I had the dream since I was in my car, the only place I normally listen to the radio. Normally the volume is way up so it wakes me, I forgot to check the volume and it must have been turned down sometime the day before so I just slept straight through it.

Loch Ness Oblivion

I was at a log cabin near a large lake. My sisters, cousins and myself were staying there as well as an old guy in a raincoat who would turn into the Loch Ness Monster. I wasn't scared thankfully but we were trying to escape. I remember sneaking past these old TVs that were really massive, 2 of them in the lounge room. I also had to lock pick the doors to leave. The sneaking and lock picking was very much like in the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I could see the display elements you get in that game while doing those activities. When we were outside, the old dude found us and turned into Nessie. We were standing on huge rocks sticking out of the water and Nessie was jumping over us doing spins and flips. It looked just like you might imagine the Loch Ness Monster to look like except it had the head of that thick skulled dinosaur. The Pachy-something-saurus. The ones that head butt each other.

The middle bit is fuzzy, but at some point I was back in the cabin, but now it was more like a large complex with lots of rooms. I was going from room to room with a few cops and searching everything. My cousin was also there and was stealing software CDs from another room, I think they belonged to the old guy from before. He was now gone. I think we had been rescued and brought back by the police to raid the place. I was telekinetically opening a lot of draws and looking through the contents. Taking anything I liked. I remember taking a "toy" loch ness monster. But it was alive and would bite onto my shoe to get dragged around, it seemed friendly though. I also remember looking at a map of the place, it looked just like the map in Oblivion. The same symbol over the doors and the areas I hadn't been to yet were grayed out.

My thoughts:
Another dream influenced by media My first dream to borrow from Oblivion. I guess the Loch Ness stuff must have come from the Trailers I've seen of that Water Horse movie. I don't play to see that though. I'm otherwise indifferent to this dream. It wasn't scary at all, nor was it particularly interesting.

Caravans, Boats, Projectiles and Bombs

I was in a caravan park (i think, dodgy recall tonight) with my family. Extended family too. I was creating explosions somehow, I think I had fire cracker like explosives. I damaged one of the caravans in my spree and the owner came out challenging me. I had to go in his caravan and play some kind of platforming game as one of 4 characters. One was an alien like guy with a shell on his back and I can't remember the other 3. I somehow cheated and found the guy near the start of the level and killed him.

Time passes that I don't remember and I was near the kitchen in my house and my whole family was still there. I planted a bigger bomb near a big brick barbecue that was strangely in the middle of our living room. I yelled out for everyone to hide and then there was a massive explosion and I vividly remember seeing shards of brick flying everywhere. I turned around and found my Mum and Grandma standing in the kitchen with stunned expressions on their faces. At first I thought Grandma had been hit in the face by some shrapnel and I almost panicked, but she was ok and I immediately forgot my concerns.

I walked off toward our lounge room but instead there was a big warehouse like area with a Caravan. It may be the same caravan from earlier, I'm not sure. This one was for sale for $2000 and for some reason I knew I could get it for half price. I wanted to buy it but was looking through it all first. It was chock full of stuff. Pots and pans, sleeping bags, little camping stoves and stuff like that. My Dad beat me to the punch and bought it. I was annoyed.

More time passes and I was outside in a court. I think I was outside a mechanics shop. Some guys in a boat that had wheels kept driving past and throwing stuff at me. Bits of paper, action figures, random crap like that. They started to get more aggressive and throw dangerous things. Eventually they threw a large steel pipe with a chain on one end connected to a steel ball. It just missed me, so I started chasing them. They crashed the boat into a pole and it exploded. There was only half a charred outer hull left, the guys where running away toward a pay phone with an ax leaning against it. One of the guys threw the ax at me, it lodged into the ground next to me so I pulled it out and started swinging it around. It scared them off, so then I went to the payphone and called the police. I don't remember anything past that.

My thoughts:
Seriously, whats with the videogame dreams lately I haven't even been playing many games of late. I also have no interest in camping, caravaning or boating... so that was weird.

Lasts nights dream is very sketchy. I only remember a few key scenes and no details.

Helicopter Girl

I think I was buying movie tickets or something when I met this girl whom I recognized as being from my old school (In reality she isn't anybody I've ever met before, just a random character). She was really attractive. Dark Hair just below shoulder height. Of Mediterranean descent. We walked to my car and met another person from school. Adam, someone from the real world, whom I haven't seen in a long time. He had a red Ferrari parked behind my crappy car. The girl who's name i can't remember exactly but was something along the lines of Elena/Eleni/Ellen (?) had a black helicopter!

Now its very choppy. I remember flying around in her chopper, above the shopping center near my house. Then I remember being about to get in my car to go home and the chopper came flying towards us at high speed in the underground parking area. I thought she was going to crash, but she didn't. Then I remember being at home, with her chopper parked in my driveway. Something happened inside with my dad but I don't remember it. And then I was looking for the girl, but couldn't find her and her chopper was gone. I woke up.


My thoughts: Awesome dream. That girl really had an affect on me, I wanted to go back to the dream and find her again once I woke up The thing I remember the most was the helicopter flying towards us in the underground area. I could see the blades so vividly. More so than in real life where they would have been a blur.

Claire and Catalina in the same dream! You the man!

Thanks
I seem to have a thing with summoning celebrities into my dreams. Usually subconsciously. I did it again last night when I had another Lucid! YAY!

I've been away since Friday and didn't keep my journal properly. I only remember little bits of my dreams on Friday, Saturday and Monday. Don't remember anything from Sunday. So I'll post them first, then last nights Lucid separately.

Boph!
I remember burnt out huts that had hidden rooms in them that weren't shown on the maps. Somehow it reminded me of Atlantis (from Stargate Atlantis). At some point I was talking to Colonel Sheppard and Dr Weir.

A funny character who I later realized was Ross from friends was walking up some steps into a highly secured area. He was scared of being murdered. I was waiting for the next episode to see how me messes up.

My real life friends Bob and Jason where there. Jason hit Bob on the nose because he kept saying his name wrong. He was saying Boph.

The lazy eye.

I remember almost nothing from this one. Except that my right eye wouldn't stay open, it's like it was glued shut. But I could open it if I tried really hard.
I also remember trying to clone myself using a piece of hair and a tiny red worm. And a girl called Stephanie wearing a lab coat.

Telekinetic Porn Balls!

I was at home and there were spiders everywhere... again. But this time they were real spiders and not replicators. I wasn't scared though. I went around squashing them all, but some of them where too big to squash so I just stayed away from those areas. Bruce and Lorna were in my kitchen. I think Lorna was baking something. *Elderly people I know in reality*

I had a squishy red ball. It had thin leather straps around it. When you squished in in your hand for a bit it would invert its surface and was yellow with lots of pornographic images on its surface. After leaving it for a few moment it would suddenly snap back to it normal red colour.

I kept throwing the ball at things and telekinetically pulling it back to me. It was very cool because it would actually slingshot around me due to the angle I was throwing it. So I'd pull it toward me but It'd miss my hand, fly around me in an ellipse shape and then I'd catch it.

LUCID!

I don't remember much from the first half of the dream, but once I became lucid it's perfectly clear.

The quest for Kristen

I was in a warehouse with picnic tables everywhere. I think it was a school or something. *My subconscious must have an obsession with schools*. Kristen Bell would appear at the back of the room, kind of through the wall. She had a line tied to her ankle and every now and then it'd pull her back through the wall. I talked to her a few times, don't remember much about it. But did talk about some TV shows she's been in. Except I got some of it wrong, I was talking about how she played Supergirl in Smallville... Which is completely incorrect.

At some point I followed her through the wall into "America". I couldn't catch a plane, but managed to get through the portal. I kept losing her on the other side, she wouldn't pay any attention to me. There was a kid there also who kept asking who I was looking for and I kept explaining to him who she was and that I'd been looking for her in my dream for ages. Somehow I said that without realizing I was dreaming... but it must have triggered it later on when...

I was walking along a dirt path in a hilly grassy area. There are a few old people walking the other way. Suddenly for some reason that I can't remember, I realized I'm dreaming. I keep my cool and looked around, everything was so vivid. I was looking at the individual blades of grass that where yellowish and dying on the side of the road. I remembered parts of what I'd been wanting to do when I was lucid, I wanted to summon Kristen Bell and just talk to her to see what my mind came up with. First I decided I'd try and change my environment into something simple. I closed my eyes and tried to summon up a big flat grass field. It didn't work. I gave up because I wanted to get to the good stuff and this hilly area was good enough. Since Kristen had already been in my dream I knew I could find her, but instead of backtracking down the path to find her I tried to turn one of the old women into her. It wouldn't work.

I closed my eyes and said out loud "You are Kristen Bell".
The old women gave some cool reactions, saying stuff like "HA! You wish buddy." or "What are you smoking?".

After about 4 or 5 tries I gave up and tried a different tactic. I asked an old lady for her CB Radio. She pulled one out from her back pocket and held it out for me.

I pressed the button and said "Calling Kristen, come in Kristen, where are you?".
A guys voice responded and said "She's over here".

I somehow knew the voice was coming from the right, so I headed in that direction and found lots of people standing around the side of the road against a wall. I scanned their faces expecting to see her but didn't. At the end of the line I had arrived back inside, I turned around and found her sitting on the ground near the entrance. She had been crying. Her hair was all wet and her face was dirty. I decided to comfort her and told the guy who was there to piss off. I asked what was wrong and she said "nothing". So I pushed her face backwards so she was lying down, trying to focus on the sensation of touch. I couldn't think of anything to say, but then I thought I should try the monthly task, but I couldn't remember what it was. But I did remember what last months was. So I did that instead.

"Hey, tell me my dream name."
"Your dream name is Bluey." she replied.
It sounded a bit funny like it could have been bluegay or something. So I asked again.
"Did you say Bluey?"
"Your dream name is Bluey" she repeated, clearer this time.

I was a little disappointed that my subconscious hadn't come up with something a little more interesting. But it'd have to do Then I decided I should just give in to the desire, so I removed my pants and the rest is self explanatory. After a few awesome minutes things started to go wonky. Things were less realistic and fluctuating in size etc, yet I didn't realize it was odd. Must have lost lucidity. Then I suddenly woke up and was looking at my window. I don't even remember opening my eyes. Damn.


My thoughts: Completely awesome. And I finally completed the task I set myself of finding her in my dream. Now I can pick another goal.

Meditation Levitation

I was in a Video store. Along the back of the store was a line of people signing up for a free "monster pack" and having it signed by someone. It was some kind of new movie. My Dad was working in the store as a Career Councilor and he was trying to teach people to meditate. You'd lie down, face up and concentrate on your body. Then you'd start to levitate about a meter off the ground.

I remember watching a pro do it, he would run down this corridor and dive forward, flip over and glide along midair until his head hit the wall at the other end of the corridor. I kept trying to do it also, but couldn't get my legs to stay up. At some point I succeeded and some lady offered me the movie as a reward, but they were all out of the monster pack so she lead me down an aisle and picked a movie off the shelf. It was Dr Dolittle... with Eddie Murphy. I was disappointed but took it anyway.

We went out the front of the store and she brought out a basket with 2 puppies in it. Apparently they were part of the prize. There was also a booklet that had spells in it to control the puppies and make sure they behaved. Thats the last thing I remember.


My thoughts: Another flying dream... Why can I never realize I'm dreaming when I'm floating around? I can fly around all night and not realize anything, but then I'll just be walking down a dirt path like the night before and suddenly it'll hit me that I'm dreaming even though absolutely nothing out of the ordinary is happening. arrrgh!

LUCID AGAIN! But not for long...

Driving?

I barely remembering anything of this dream. I only know that it involved driving a fast car or something.

The plastic cup dreamsign

I was outside a city that had a large wall around it, like a fort. I was trying to jump over the wall, but couldn't get in. Then I was in a classroom inside the city (don't know how I got there), it was a science class. I needed a printout of something, but didn't have it because I was away the day before. I snapped at the teacher and told them to shove it because I was frustrated. Another student suggested I go ask at the locker rooms if I can get a new copy of this printout and told me I'd be more successful if I offered to have sex with someone for it.

I went to the locker rooms right as a lot of people where leaving. I stopped one of the last girls coming out, it was a character from Boston Legal (Shirleys Granddaughter from the recent episodes).

I said to her "I need another sheet printed out, could you help me? I'll have sex with you if you do"
She was already nodding as I was talking but I noticed she got really excited when I mentioned the sex.

We went to her area in the "locker room", although it was more like an office. She had a desk with a printer and computer and such. She started printing the pages, it was a huge thick book. I was looking at a plastic cup at the time and suddenly realized I was dreaming.

- Instantly I was awake. I'm not sure if I realized I was dreaming after I awoke, or vise versa, it basically happened at the same time. But I hadn't even opened my eyes yet, I could just feel my body and knew I was awake. So I immediately went back to sleep repeating to myself "I know its a dream" over and over. It felt like mere seconds before I was dreaming again.

I "woke up" on the couch upstairs, then looked over and saw 5 plastic cups on the floor nearby. Immediately I knew I was dreaming. It was so real I could barely believe it. I looked at my hands and then the wood panels on the wall. It was so real and detailed I could see the grains in the wood with ease. I was also thinking clearly and decided I should do the monthly task, I recalled it was to ask about my new years resolution and then go to another planet so I tried to summon someone to ask. I imagined Angelina Jolie being behind my monitor box which is sitting upstairs (everything was exactly where it should be. I couldn't tell the different between the dream and my real house). Unfortunately it didn't work. This is when I began to wonder if perhaps I wasn't dreaming, could I have walked up here and gone to sleep on the couch without remembering? It was just too real. I became self conscious of my friend sleeping downstairs who might hear me trying to do stuff if I was actually awake. I'd look like a fool if I tried to fly or something and wasn't actually dreaming. So to check I started down the stairs and looked into the lounge room. I could see Daniel sleeping on the lounge room floor. He was there, in the exact spot he should be.

So thats when I decided I was actually awake. Frick! What a wasted opportunity! I was then woken up by my blinds being pulled in and out of the window recess because I forgot to close my window the night before and it had become windy outside. Double Frick!

My thoughts: Best dream yet. Just because of the hyper realism of it. I had no external control at all But if I can have more hopefully I won't decide I'm awake and will keep trying to do something.
Also, I read somewhere that Vitamin B helps with dream recall/vividness. I had a bunch of Vegemite an hour or so before bed because thats a rich source of Vitamin B. Perhaps this is why my dream felt so real? I'll definitely be trying that again every night to see if I can get the same results.

BTW, Did I inadvertently achieve a DEILD? I didn't notice any sleep paralysis, but I went straight back into a dream in mere seconds of waking and almost immediately became lucid.

Hey man, that sounds exactly like a DEILD to me.

Also, I've been having a similar experience to yours. I had several nights of dreams that later seemed like video games, though while I was in the dream, it seemed perfectly normal. I wish I could use this as a dream sign, but I don't know how when I can't even recognize what the feeling is.

I also had a hyper-realistic LD, but after a false awakening from a low-level one. Mine was on 1-3-08. Unfortunately, I was so happy that I freaked out and lost it. I was about to summon Jessica Alba before I woke up. I'm not avoiding sex though. I subscribe to the Billybob school of thought, that it will only cause you to wake up if you believe it will.

Good luck man.

Awesome, I DEILDed!

I had another flying dream last night, I so wish I could recognize that as a dream sign! I'd be lucid almost every night!

I realized after my post yesterday that in my hyper real LD i didn't even think to do an RC when I started to think I was awake. I do them in reality whenever I think of it, so I guess I wasn't as clear headed in the dream as I thought I was.

I've read BillyBob's thread a while ago and I absolutely agree with it. I've been trying it. I used to spin, but haven't done that once since joining these forums. I want to get stable lengthy dreams without any of that stuff. I've been telling myself in LDs that there is no reason it should end just because I'm aware, but I still lose lucidity whenever I go down the sex route though. I think because it distracts me from the fact its a dream and I slip back into regular dreaming. Frustrating. Once I have more control without it I'll go back to it and probably have more success

I had 2 dreams I can recall last night, so I'll post them soon. They weren't super detailed so they'll be short. One seems to have been inspired by National Treasure.

Hi there.

Cool batch of lucids you have, Bluey. I laughed out loud when the one DC asked what you'd been smoking.

when in those hyper real Lucid dreams I think it's good to try something small if you can't accomplish anything grand at first. Maybe try levitate something or make the lights switch on and off by thought, more or less testing the waters until you get confident.

Thanks Vex.
I will try that next. I'll just go with the flow of my next LD, and maybe try to summon certain people by expecting to meet them on my travels. I've had the most success with that in the past. I can also fly very well. I won't stress though if I can't do even these things, I think the harder you try to do something, the more likely you'll fail.

Ok, last night... Not much detail, more like dot points because I couldn't remember any specifics.

Rock Flying

I was at some kind of park by the beach i think. There was a rocky area of the shore right next to where my family was. I keep flying back and forth from one side of the rocks to the other. At one point my cousin Peter was trying to drive a large Ute out of the water but couldn't get it up the rocks. So my Dad took over and managed to get it up onto the grass (why was it in the water? no idea )

My uncle Damian was also there tending to a garden that was growing on one side of the rocks. I keep landing on some flowers as I was flying back and forth and he got angry with me. (He isn't the gardening type IRL. Not in the slightest)

The rest is very fuzzy. There was an anteater at some point trying to bite my ankles. I also kept tripping over small dogs, and there were other dogs made out of Christmas lights.

Treasure Hunters

There was a family of treasure hunters driving around in a rainbow coloured van looking for clues to some kind of treasure based out of some book they had. I was following them around. At one point we were in a mansion and I was trying to remain hidden from them. I saw everything from 3rd person and was almost seen by their 10 year old boy. He should have seen me, but didn't.

There was a bunch of clues they found that I can't remember, but one of them was an Alan key. They pushed it through the pages of their book and turned it. This opened a garage door, but there were cops in front of it. So they recklessly drove their van through the garage and crashed inside, they got whatever was in there and escaped.

Later I found another Alan key and somehow had their book. I found an area on the book that was crunchier than the rest of the page and so i pushed the Alan key into it and turned. It made a big hole appear in the center of the book when it was closed. There was another item they had found that was like a big tumbler with strange symbols on it, in a tiered shape. The hole was perfectly shaped for it to fit inside the book. So I placed it in and started turning it. Thats the last thing I remember before waking up.

Metal Gear

I was playing Metal Gear Solid 4. But not through a screen, I was Snake, but from 3rd person. I was on top of some roofs, going from roof to roof trying to take out guards that looked like some guy from a sitcom I saw recently, don't know his name. I had some kind of pistol with a silencer, but kept changing weapons to some weird things. There was a baseball bat, a small wooden boat, a desk, and other strange items.

At some point I was in my room and had printed out the small wooden desk on paper. I pulled parts of it out like in a popup book, and it was now a 3D representation of the desk. It looked and felt like real wood though rather than paper.

Evacuation

I was living in a large extravagant apartment complex with people from my school days. Both primary and secondary. The building was very unorthodox with large tubes sticking out from the main tower that where the apartments, and elevators that where on the outside exposed with no walls. I received a card from Tara, apparently it was my birthday. It had a long message on it that I didn't read.

There was a fire in a stairwell somewhere. We could see the smoke and knew it wasn't a drill, so we left the building and were standing on the grass surrounding a concrete pit that the building was in the middle of. While we were waiting, Vincent fell down the concrete pit. I slid down after him to give him a boost back up. Then somehow we were in his apartment. He showed me a card he also got. It was from Adam, saying he loved him. I exclaimed that I didn't know Vincent was gay, then he read my card and pointed out a web address that I hadn't noticed. It was something football.com, I don't remember exactly. But the F in football was missing, it was like a puzzle or something. Pretty weak puzzle. I went to the website, but don't remember anything more.

Lucid! for a few seconds Was very muddy, and I barely remember it.
I remember a bunch of other dreams decently though.

Angry Missing Mince

I was at my friend Adrian's house. There was some kind of party, but everyone was sitting in an amphitheater that was in his lounge room. I met his new girlfriend Kat (Haven't met in real life yet), she was quite attractive with brown hair, wearing some kind of grayish sweater (eck).

I was carrying around a container of mince meat for some reason. People kept stealing it off me and I'd chase after them and grab it back. At one point Adrian took it and I got really mad. I super speed over to him, somehow he had gotten really far away, then I tried to elbow him in the face. I kept missing, but managed to grab the container back anyway.

Later, everyone was gone. I was apologizing to Adrian for trying to hit him and was explaining why I was so angry.

Scrubs Sex

I was watching this dream remotely, like it was a tv show but without a tv set. It was all Scrubs characters. JD's head was sitting in a recess in the wall and had a roast chicken stuffed inside it

Jordan and Dr Cox where in an operating room, talking. Elliot was standing on the other side of the glass twirling her hair. Then Dr Cox came out of the operating room and started having sex with Elliot. It was very explicit. Elliot thought he was JD, but then saw his face and realized who it was. It didn't seem to phase her. Jordan was still in the operating room, watching through the glass.

Lucid Rocket Launch

Old ladies were talking to me in a small lounge area. I slowly realized it was a dream. By slowly I mean I was thinking that I was meant to be thinking something, but couldn't grasp what it is. A few minutes later I finally grasped it, I was dreaming. I immediately felt like I was partly awake already, so I quickly jumped straight up trying to get to another planet (as per monthly task). I started smashing through the roof but woke up after like a second.

Elite Commando Hiros!
I was in my friend Paul's house with a team of elite commandos. I was one of them. There was a volleyball net in the main room and people were playing volleyball, but with a basketball. I couldn't get it over the net with my fists, even if I tried throwing it properly. So I kicked it instead. I could kick really well, and the other commandos were impressed, saying I had a 3rd growth kicking ability which was the best of the team.

There was another room to the side and in the hallway before it was a box hanging from the roof, suspended by netting. Whenever I went past I would climb over the box by grabbing onto the netting. It was quite difficult as it was a fairly small box. I did it a bunch of times and succeeded all but the last time. In this other room was a large table and people where sitting on it. Paul's sister was there, but it didn't look like her. It was a hot dark haired girl. She kept giving me missions. I don't remember them, except for one. I had to lower the garage door so some girl would be able to get back in the house. I went back where the volleyball net was and out the back where the balcony should be (the house is perched on the side of a hill) there was a garage door. no walls or roof, just the door. It lowered downwards like a drawbridge. So I lowered it and some girl sitting on a rock in midair was able to then cross the garage door and enter the house. I was congratulated for saving her by the other commandos.

Last night I tried really hard to do ParadigmShift's WILD method.
I've been trying regular WILDing for a few weeks and thought this would help me. I still do. But unfortunately I woke naturally an hour before my alarm went off (5 hours after going to sleep) and was too awake for it to work. I tried for 20 minutes. Then gave up but couldn't get back to sleep for another hour at least. GRRRR.

My recall is bad today, I didn't get up to write in my journal during the night so its all a big jumble of memories.

Invisible Twins, Telekinesis and Headless Criminals

I was going to other peoples houses for some reason. At one house there were these twin girls, maybe about 7 years old, but they were invisible. Pretty much ghosts, but they weren't. I could see them, but their parents and anybody else couldn't. They had made a slide out of jelly in their house or something like that. I thought it was disgusting.

They followed me to another house and were bugging me by carrying items around making it look like they were flying.

At yet another house I was using telekinesis to play a piano remotely while I was sitting at a table with a bunch of other people. A friend of mine seemed to be there and knew what I was doing, so he/she (don't remember) suggested that the electronic keyboard in the other corner must have been left on with one of those programmed routines active.

At some other point, I was walking through my old high school. I went to the kiosk and was looking for the price of a coke, but couldn't find it.

I was outside my house and there was a clone of me that had been arrested for... something. I had removed his legs, arms and head to prevent him escaping before the cops arrived. Then sometime later... the cops came back, and the invisible twins where also there. He wanted to release the criminal, but his head, arms and legs had gone purple. I told him they must have gone off and he'd have to buy a new head for him.

Don't let blind people drive!

I was looking at a map of my local area trying to find a router to get somewhere. I don't recall where I was going, but the map was labeled with all the correct area names, but was completely incorrect, yet consistent. There were rivers everywhere on the map.

Then I was in a car with 3 other people. 2 cousins, and an old man I don't know. The old man was driving, but he was also blind. Not completely, his eyes where white but he said he could still see basic blobs. We're driving along the freeway for quite a while with no problems, then my cousins stop paying attention and I get nervous and start paying attention to where the guy is driving. The road curves right but he keeps driving straight ahead. I call out "go right!", but he's deaf too and doesn't hear me. We just miss those water barrels on the side of the road and run straight into a cliff face at full speed. It doesn't feel like a sudden stop, it doesn't feel like anything.

I don't remember much about what happened next. I think someone else came to pick us up. In the car I felt guilty about the crash because I saw it coming and didn't do enough to prevent it. I kept talking to the others and trying to make myself feel better. I don't remember what was actually said.

We then went to a funeral for the blind guy, who apparently had died in the crash. At the funeral I remember walking into a church, and outside there were 2 caskets, one regular size, and the other was long and thin, as if it was for a snake or something.

My cousin and myself carried the old mans casket outside after whatever happened inside and laid it on a large grate next to the snake casket. It then lit on fire. The grate was like a large barbecue. I was looking a my cousin and he was wearing a white t-shirt that said "Holiday Radio" on the front in plain black lettering.

I can't remember what else happened... but I know the dream was much longer than that and more structured like there are parts in between that I've forgotten.

LUCID! And from an RC, also. First time I've done an RC within a dream.

Couldn't remember anything from Wednesday night
But here's last night.

Giant Keyboard

I was at a school and Mum and myself were teaching my Grandmother some kind of math represented by numbers and words on a giant keyboard that was on the blackboard. Not drawn on the blackboard, but physical keys sticking out of it. Each key was about as big as two fists put together.

We were trying to explain to her how knowledge advances and so do teaching methods, so modern day kids now learn this stuff in year 9 and can understand it, even though she never learn it at school and therefor is having trouble understanding it now.

The math itself made no sense, it was something along the lines of pressing the keys to add up the numbers printed on them and the total was somehow equal to a certain phrase of spoken text.

Paul's Visit Part 1

My friend Paul came over to my house. He was driving a green Mustang that had "Titana Ratana" printed on the bonnet. Apparently he was pissed off at his parents because he just found out his real name was Titana Ratana. Next thing I know he's in our lounge room, right in the middle on a mattress and sleeping bag. He was watching NCIS on our TV, I was annoyed because I wanted to watch Stargate instead.

I picked up my dog and carried him around, and Paul commented that he was really tall. He was the same size in the dream, less than a foot tall, so I don't know what he was talking about. But then saw there was a second dog on the couch, a clone. It was eating bacon, so I went to the kitchen and found lots of plates full of bacon. Don't remember anything else.

Paul's Visit Part 2

This one seemed like a continuation of the previous one. I was awake for a few minutes writing down part 1 then went back to sleep and had this one.

I was in my bed, and Paul and a few other mates where in my room giving me some kind of tv quiz. The first question was about a show called Farscape. I got it right, but don't remember what it was. The second question I couldn't hear properly, they repeated it 4 times and I still couldn't understand, so I took the paper from them and read it myself. I turned on my bedside light to read it. There was only a small pinpoint of light coming out of the globe so I held the paper right up to it and could only read one word at a time as I moved the paper through the light.

The question was something about the Allied fleet finding some kind of destroyer ship, and what they did after that. I didn't have a clue what the answer was so I said "I don't recall that". Paul told me I suck, but he had a girls voice. He said the answer was "a robot did the chicken dance underground in their base to destroy it". I was confused, so grabbed the paper back again and saw it said Star Trek on the top. So I said, "I see now why I got it wrong. I hate Star Trek."

The brown door

I was in my grandparents old house. I held my nose and tried to breath, it worked! I was lucid, but it felt very real so I did it again. It worked again! Then it slowly went very unstable. Its like I was cross eyed. Everything was doubled over and very blurry. I could barely see anything. So I stumbled through the house, trying to focus my vision by willing it. The corridor near the kitchen didn't lead to the place it should, but instead the back of the bathroom. I started to get creeped out. The whole house was empty, no furniture or people.

The bathroom was just white tiles on the walls and floors with 3 doors. The one I came in from, the real door (as in the door that exists in the real house), and a brown door next to the real door. I had a slight panic feeling for some reason. I did another RC just to make sure. Yep, could still breath. I went to open the brown door thinking there might be some hot girl behind it. But the door was really short and I couldn't find a door handle. Everything was still extremely blurry, so I was feeling around for a handle but still couldn't find it. I gave up and went through the real door, but had a slight panic feeling again, as if something scary would be on the other side. There wasn't, it was the real corridor that I should have been in earlier.

To the left was the toilet door, and in front of me the a bedroom door. I went to open the toilet door, again afraid that something might be there, but I told myself "I if expect something bad, it will be something bad". But I couldn't help it. As it opened I was peering in very anxiously. Nothing was there, not even a toilet. Just bare walls. Then I woke up.

Vacation

I was at my friend Daniels holiday house down by the beach. His family was there, and I seemed to be staying with them. Although I was looking for a small unit to live in instead. I knew there was one for sale nearby and was searching the area for it but couldn't find it.

Just over the back fence I found some old furniture, like a couch, some bunk beds, a desk etc. They were all weathered and old, paint flaking off etc. I thought for a moment that perhaps this is whats for sale and the walls and roof are not included. But I decided that wasn't the case and kept looking.

I went up to the top floor of the house (3 stories) and looked out over the balcony trying to see what I was looking for from up there. Daniels sister was there also and we heard some commotion 2 stories below. She jumped straight over the edge, so I followed. Didn't get hurt falling 3 stories, but it seemed someone else was living on the ground floor. They were saying that they lost their baby. The Father had a nightmare about their baby being gone, and then woke to find he was missing. The parents had since lowered the toilet seats to stop it drowning (? ). I helped look for the baby. I don't think we found it, but the next thing I remember was doing something else.

I went up into the roof, Daniels dad was there working on the roof which was incomplete. He seemed annoyed that I was up there because it was dangerous. Dan's brother was also there. He was playing his Nintendo DS. His friend, who was also there, was begging me to play my DS. I gave it to him and he was looking for a game to play. Dan's brother had 2 games sitting on the plaster of the roof, Nintendogs and Bomberman. The friend chose Bomberman. Then I was trying to get closer to an unfinished area of roof tiles so I could look down for the unit I was looking for. I couldn't get close enough to the gap, and I kept almost falling through the plaster into the rooms below. I'd lose balance and fall in the plaster, then it would bend downward like it was going to give way but I'd quickly get my balance back onto the wooden beams. Then I woke up, couldn't remember the dream at first, but it came flooding back to me after about 5 minutes of lying there.

The Immortal Prince

This dream takes place in the world of Amyrantha, from the "The Tide Lords" books by Jennifer Fallon. (I'm currently reading book 2 of 4, they're fantastic, link here). This is the first time I've had a dream thats entirely set in a particular fictional universe. Its usually mixtures of everything rather than solidly based in just one. Comments on the book to explain the dream will be in Italics, like this.

I was an Immortal, a Tide Lord, I was hanging out in some house with a bunch of random people, including Cayal, the Immortal Price. He was the one who Immolated me. To become Immortal, you are burned by the Eternal Flame. If you have the will to live, you become an Immortal and possibly a Tide Lore (Able to use tide magic), if not, you die.

It was low tide in the dream and I wasn't able to use any tide magic. But we wanted to Immolate a friends Uncle who was very sick and wished to live. So we grabbed a knife (this is where is deviates slightly from the book) and we stabbed him in the forehead, just with the tip of the blade. Pulled it back out and then lit the blood on the tip on fire with the Eternal Flame (which I was carrying on a torch), then inserted it back into the wound.

We removed the knife and the wound immediately healed over. Immortals heal from any injury, even removing their head will grow back a new head without any memories, making them a blank slate. The more extreme the injury, the faster they heal. To the point where something that would immediately destroy them won't harm them at all. Making it impossible to kill them.

Right as we finished, I realized this was not the man we were meant to help. This was the friends father instead of her uncle. This man didn't want to become Immortal. But it was too late. I felt so guilty. This man would now have to live forever, something thats a terrible burden for someone who doesn't embrace it.

I explained to the man, who was also sick, that his pale skin would shed and fully heal itself within a few hours, since it isn't that serious it would take longer. I then grabbed the knife and cut a small knick in my arm to demonstrate. We both watched as the pool of blood got sucked back into the wound and it completely healed over.

I was then talking to Cayal about the Eternal Flame and asking where he got the new one. In the book he managed to extinguish the flame by dumping a large portion of the ocean onto it, flooding the land and creating the great lakes in the process. Apparently the new flame came from a meteor from the tide star, that crashed into an ice cream truck a few days earlier.

I started wondering out loud if the eternal flame was actually eternal itself, or named that way to describe what it makes the people it burns. I tried blowing it out, but it wouldn't go out. Cayal said you could blow it out, but you'd have to blow really hard. I'd have to wait for high tide. Then I woke up.

The Telepathic Tide Lord

This dream is also set in Amyrantha, but with a bit of our world mixed in.

I was a Tide Lord again, but this time I could use Telekinesis. I was on a field trip with a school, posing as a student, despite apparently being a 5 thousand year old immortal. My real life ex-friend Adam is there, and he's trying to cook some eggs... in an oven. He is annoyed because they are burnt, as he set the egg timer for 35 minutes instead of 20.

There was another nameless Tide Lord there that was telepathic. He had just discovered that he could "forward" thoughts on from one person to another. So I had him read the mind of a girl that I suspected liked me and forward it on to me. At first it wouldn't work, but then I could hear her thoughts. It was as if she was speaking out loud, but her lips weren't moving and she wasn't paying any attention to me. She was thinking I was kinda cute, but a bit weird. Then I woke up.

Hmm, Zero recall at all the last 2 nights. Grrrr. My recall appears to be getting worse. Or I just had a great streak of memory recall when I started this journal and its come to an end...

Although just now I may have remembered something from a dream, but can't be sure. I remember seeing a scene from the show Veronica Mars but it played out differently to how it should have. I haven't watched the show recently, so I'm pretty sure it was from a dream last night.

Board Game of Weirdness

The beginning of the dream is hazy and I barely remember it, but I seemed to be in some fictional country fighting a war with some warlord guy. It reminded me of the game Heavenly Sword as this warlord was dressed in the same kind of armor as the king in that game. I think I was in charge of an army, but can't be sure. And I traveled around different countries.

Towards the end of this part of the dream I met up with this warlord in an open field. He had the armor previously mentioned and a staff with a light at the top. But weirdest of all, I remember his face. It was General Hammond from Stargate SG1. We both grabbed each other by the neck and were spinning each other around until we let go, both flying off in different directions. I landed right in front of a cliff and ran right off the edge because I couldn't stop in time. I was falling toward a patch of grass, and right below me was a fist sized burnt area of grass, with a ring of ash around it. I was aiming for it. I then continued running and jumped off a series of cliffs, trying to land on this ash mark every time. This section of the dream repeated itself several times, taking me back to General Hammond and being thrown again, as if I was retrying the challenge.

After it continued, I finally reached a ladder painted onto the ground, like some kind of board game. I was at my friends Holiday house again, like in the dream from last Friday. This time a group of my friends were there, as well as some girls I've never seen before who were in their pajamas. This board game was painted onto the wooden floor of the main room. We were playing some kind of game, racing each other while mentally playing video games... in our heads. It was like I was replaying the events at the start of Final Fantasy 7 in my mind and taking a step to the next rung of the painted ladder after each scene. At some point the game i was mentally replaying became some weird variation of Tomb Raider, where Lara was flying with a jet pack. I was winning the board game, but we had to stop because Bob wanted to paint over the floor again so it was easier to see the ladders.

We all took a break and were standing around the game area in a big circle while some people where covering up the ladders with big blankets. There was some strange guy who looked kind of like a guy I know named Chad, except he had big eyes that almost popped out of his head. He was talking to Tim and telling him where I lived. One of the unknown girls asked what the address was and Tim said we were going there afterwards. I was only eavesdropping and wasn't aware we were going to my place, I hadn't invited them.

The unknown girl then told me she was about to explode. Thats the last thing I remember.

My thoughts: Completely wack dream, almost no structure to it. And chock full of video game stuff. While I am a big geek, I'm not as big a geek as my dreams suggest I haven't even played a game in almost 3 weeks. But I love that my dreams are so influenced by them.

Trespassing in the Amazon

Don't remember much of this one, I was in the amazon, but it looked more like a wildlife sanctuary. With sectioned off areas and clear paths past them. I remember looking at a map on a billboard and trying to figure out a path out of there as I myself and a group of random people where being chased by a tribe of amazonians who seemed to want to kill us for trespassing.

Sleep Score

I was trying to achieve a score of 130... for something. I only had 70. To raise my score I had to sleep to raise attributes, and these attributes would contribute to my score in different ways.

At some point I was around a campfire with a bunch of people. One of the people, someone called Alex (don't know them IRL), was talking about how he had trouble sleeping to raise his attributes because he had to sleep on a tree branch and kept falling off during the night. He was saying he came up with a solution by turning into an Eagle each night. That way he could sleep on the branch without falling off. He did this every night except Thursday and Sunday, as he was allowed to sleep in his bed on those nights.

Immortal Hearts

This dream was freaky, kinda scary, and even gory. I don't recall having gore in a dream before, not even blood normally. I didn't remember it when I first woke though, so I didn't wake up scared which was fine with me.

I was at some kind of magic show. The magician was a guy in a brown trench coat. He was rigged up to a harness that was on a line going across the room and had a lever to release the weight that would then pull him across the line. He called a volunteer up from the audience and hypnotized him. This audience member then pulled the lever and the trench coat guy was pulled off stage by the rig. He then came back on stage, harness free, and pulled out a scalpel... He began cutting into the hypnotized volunteers chest. The victim just sat there, didn't even flinch while the trench guy surgically removed his heart! He then pulled out a much larger knife and ripped his own chest open, then shoved the victims heart into his chest, which proceeded to heal up around it.

The audience was horrified and started running away. I ran backstage with 2 other people, a tall hot blonde girl and some short guy. We were being chased for a while until the bad guy caught up with us. Right before he attacked, his torso was ripped open from behind. I could see right through his chest to the man behind him who had just ripped his heart out. This new guy then cut his own chest open and inserted the bad guys heart, it then healed over. He explained to us that they were both Immortal. They couldn't die, but their body would deteriorate unless infused with fresh genetic material. He was trying to stop this bad guy, and to keep fit he had to feed off the bad guy.

This happened a few more times, chased by the bad guy, saved by the good guy who then ripped the bad guys heart out and shoved it into his own chest... Quite disturbing.

At some point we were on a train. It was about to reach the end of the track so we had to bail out. We jumped out and landed in the dirt. Then the train crashed into the end of the track. A large shipping container from the train was sliding towards us and was about to crush the tall hot blonde girl. I held up my right hand and stopped it Telekinetically. I could feel the invisible barrier in front of the container straining under the force, but slowly it stopped right in front of her. I don't remember exactly what happened afterward, I think the bad guy caught up to us and I woke up when he was ripping the short guys heart out.

My thoughts: Completely wacko and disturbing, but some interesting ideas in it also. Immortals removing peoples hearts and absorbing them into their chest to maintain their physical body... I like that idea! And I don't recall seeing something like that in a movie or anything before. I'll have to remember that for future reference.
