Kory's Collaboration With the Universe

[KoryB]

I have been working on my dream journal for quite some time now (actual hard copies) in a binder with my works on philosophy but i decided to share some of my limited success with attaining lucidity. Id like to start this online-journal with some of my favorite "Dream quotes" "Man is a genius when he is dreaming." Akira Kurosawa. Japanese filmmaker. "Even sleepers are workers and collaborators in what goes on in the Universe." Heraclitus Greek Philosopher "Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy." Sigmund Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams, 1900. "Learn from your dreams what you lack." W.H. Auden (1907-73), English poet and playwright. Goals Attain 360 Vision Travel Through the Milky Way Visit a Black Hole Swim with Dolphins Take a bite out of the moon (Cheese anyone?) Meet someone from my family who has passed on Dream Key: Red = Dream Orange = Lucid Blue = Nightmare Teal = Comments Herbs / Supplements I Find herbs and supplements increase the vividness of my dreams and when i dont attain lucidity i generally have excellent recalls of all my dreams. Valerian Root = 800mg Melatonin = 6 mg Vitamin B6 = 300mg

March 21,2008 The Dream started when it was dark out. About 3 DC's were with me and we decided to go to the local store. When we got there it was closed so we all decided to journey to the nearest gas station. When we arrived at the gas station i got in line (with nothing in my hands) when i realized there was nothing in my hand and my hands were distorted BOOM! I Was lucid this was the first time i have became lucid in over 3 months and only my 2nd time!! I could feel my heart racing and i started to spin to lengthen my control over the dream. Suddenly the room went completely dark and a voice called out "Believe in me and be rewarded" i lost control of the dream and woke up This was one of the few lucid dreams i have had and it has made me wonder. I don't really know what to make of this voice who demanded a higher existence "BELIEVE IN ME." While im not one to believe in a major religion i am very interested and a believer of existentialism. These words will continue to bother me and motivate me to truly find out what it is to be alive.

March 30, 2008 Dream 1: This dream was very weird and vivid, it started out at the airport myself and a few DC's were going on a trip but i dont quite remember where we were going. As we were going through check-in and security one of the DC's was stopped and strip searched. We got past security to the gates but our plane was delayed due to heavy rain. So i went to the bank and took out 2000 dollars for my trip (i didn't directly receive the money.) We got onto the plane i sat in the front row and we could clearly see out the front cockpit window to the street below. Thats right we were cruising down the street in a 747. As we continued down the street one of the DC's gave me a 10,000 dollar bill! as i examined the bill the dream came to an end This dream was MESSED UP i was so surprised when i woke up that i didn't realize i was dreaming!! It was very vivid and i really, truly don't know why i didn't realize, it was so obvious. Driving an airplane down the street? a 10,000 dollar bill like come on! Dream 2: This dream was just as vivid and had ties to almost a nightmare. It started with a DC of my brother we were driving in a park it was dark and we were blaring music. As we started to do donuts in the mud a crazy lady (almost looked like a monster lady) came out and grabbed the car! She grabbed the car and as the cars engine screamed and hollered we didn't go anywhere so we sat in the car with this crazy lady holding onto the car. She just wouldn't let go her husband came and tried to talk her out of holding onto the car but she wouldnt budge. The police came and tazered her and we drove off. This dream was just as weird as the other one and i was shocked that i didn't realize i was dreaming. The lady which held onto the car frightened me and almost turned the dream into a nightmare but it differed itself compared to a nightmare because i wasnt scared shitless when i woke up or during the dream MY FIRST WILD!!! I have been trying this technique for some time now and i finally got through into the dream world fully aware. The various process of laying as still as possible, counting sheep while constantly saying Is this a dream? I am going to Lucid Dream tonight!-- To the Dream: My first WILD was quite different than my previous two DILD's. I found that as i entered my dream i struggled to control the darkness from overwhelming me but as i overcame that darkness with confidence to see colours and beauty in the form of mountains and streams i appeared thousands of feet above the rockies. As i fell towards the ground various physics' equations came before me in a stream of various colours. I was FORCED to fly. I took flight as gracefully as a eagle soaring across the mountains looking upon the streams and natural lakes. I landed on the ground turned my back and imagined a bar scene with the man i have always wanted to meet Albert Camus a famous philosopher and a man i look up too. We started to talk about the meaning of life but his voice suddenly got drowned out and slowly faded away. I woke up so i thought, I False Awakened and i knew right after i tried turning on the lights. Darkness surrounded me and i blew into my hands and said CANDLE the candle morphed from my hands and the darkness turned to light. I closed my eyes and i opened them awake (For real) my cell phone alarm going off, time for school. This was my first WILD and a lucid dream which i could control quite well. I was quite alarmed when i woke up and remembered my short lived chat with Albert Camus and the meaning of life and i sort of felt empty and alone. The one man which i thought could explain what i have been striving for so long to find out, faded right before my eyes. I wrote my dream down and a short reflection and off to school.
