      Well, I can't say I went lucid last night, but I'm not sure how I didn't.

      Dream 1: I found myself in a chair with a table circling around me. Past that, all was black. On the table was all sorts of weird food, mostly variations of a beehive-shaped substance with a popsicle stick coming out of the bottom. They were in all different colors, some transparent and gelatin-like, some solid-colored and firmer, like a cake or something. Oh, and some of the popsicle sticks were edible as well. Plus, every one of these weird things had trippy decorations on them, too. Swirled colored icing, big balls of some sort of candy stuck all over...and it all tasted awesome.

      "Haha all I've done in this dream is eat!" I found myself saying. "Can't wait to tell this one to the guys on dreamviews."

      I think I was kind of waking up as I said that, because I was fully awake immediately after, and that's the only explanation I can think for me accepting the fact that it was a dream without really being lucid.

      Dream 2: I was only spectating now, and there was a woman with a giant yellow squid in a hotel room. She said that since she had no children, the squid was like a son to her. I mean, she really loved the thing! Pretty much all she did all day long was talk to it and hold it (even though it was bigger than she was). From listening to her talk, apparently she was in a hotel just to get away from the people that mocked her about the yellow sea creature who somehow could survive without water.

      Eventually, the hotel caught wind of what exactly was being kept in one of their rooms, and they told the woman to leave or get rid of the squid. She burst into tears. Realizing she needed mental help, they instead forcibly removed the squid from her and tried to bring in a psychiatrist, but she beat the doctor until he fled, and then just cried on her bed.

      But then...the yellow squid found its way back into the room through the window! Of course the woman was suddenly happy again...and that's really all I remember.

      Call yourself a dream interpretation expert? Then what the heck is a yellow squid supposed to mean? My gosh...seriously.

      Dream 3: Spectating again, it was a thunder-storming night, and I saw a kitten sneaking into a closet and the door was magically closed on it.

      The next morning, the couple that lived in the house discovered the kitten and were very baffled by its presence there. They had two cats (who also spoke English in the dream) but they hated each other, so there seemed to be no way the kitten came from them.

      The female cat accused the male cat of rape while she was sleeping, which he denied. And next thing I know, while the people and the cats are arguing about all this, the dream 'camera' was being pulled back into a mouse hole and I saw two mice watching the argument and discussing what they thought happened.

      It was disturbing enough to everyone to get a full-scale investigation going. I can't remember most of what happened because the dream's plot was so complicated, but basically the mice were the only ones to get on the right track and figure out what happened. The people and the cats just got off on a confusing trail of miscommunication and false leads so that the whole thing seemed like a bigger deal than it was. And yet somehow through all of this the two cats started to like each other.

      But at the end, one of the mice came forth and declared that all the evidence pointed to the male cat having raped the female cat while they both were sleeping. "It's simple." The mouse explained. "He doesn't remember anything, and yet the genes of the kitten match up to the cats perfectly. He must have been sleepwalking when it happened, then!"

      Everyone sighed out of relief that the mystery had been solved and then everyone went to bed. Once the lights were out, the female cat asked the male cat, "Did you really do that to me?" After a pause, the male cat replied: "I don't know. Do you want to do it again to find out if anything feels familiar?"

      I kid you not, that's what the cat said. Scary to think that line originated in my mind I swear I don't think like that all the time!

      Tuesday, April 13, 2010

      In recent weeks, my ability to LD has seemed to wane as lucid dreams grew fewer and farther between, not to mention that the quality of each one has been on a downward scale as well.

      Last night, I may have discovered both the 'why' and the 'how' concerning fixing the issue!

      Since I've been RCing consistently for nearly two weeks now with no RC-induced lucid dreams behind me, I decided to try MILD. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of beginning the mantra while lying on my back. I can't sleep on my back, and for some reason, whatever position I begin a MILD in is what I'll revert to once I fall asleep. So I kept rolling over onto my back and waking up, preventing any very deep lucids, but like I said, I did learn a bit!

      I had made a video mocking the president and I was sneaking around with a few buddies to literally deliver it right to his office on a DVD. It was tough avoiding security guards, but all the cameras were taken out via computer hacks. We made it to the office, the president was gone, and I set the DVD on the desk.

      *BEEP* *BEEP*

      Alarms went off and an army of guards rushed to the scene with the president shortly behind them (only he looked nothing like Obama; more like Einstein with tanned skin). We put our hands up, but suddenly my mind started racing. "I'm not lucid! What can I do? Wait a second, if this already is a dream, I can just go lucid!"

      I put my hands down, and nobody fired at me. I just stood there a moment, smiling at the guards, enjoying their utter powerlessness. My buddies thought I was crazy.

      "Go ahead, fire." I said.

      One of them did, and the bullet just went right through me, not leaving a mark. Everyone's eyes were bugging out in shock.

      "Don't you get it? This is a dream!"

      Suddenly the president went crazy.

      "It's a dream! It's a dream!" He shouted and sang, dancing around the room, even on the walls, until he ended up right in front of me and started to shake my hand vigorously.

      I started losing the dream at this point, but I heard the president saying that he respected me for successfully reaching his desk unnoticed and that I would be highly rewarded.

      Woke up as he was saying that, but quickly rolled off my back and DEILDed.

      I was now in a parade that the president had to celebrate. He was riding on the front of the float I was on, still shouting and singing "It's a dream! This is a dream!" People were everywhere around me.

      I stood up and waved, which got a lot of applause, and then I shouted:

      "Look at me everybody I'M LUCIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!"

      The crowds roared with cheers and applause as I held out that last word. And then, just because I could, I jumped off the float, did a flip, and landed on the ground. The parade cleared away to give me space, and then I performed various tricks that are absolutely impossible IRL.

      Woke up again, due to rolling onto my back. This time was for a little bit longer, so I couldn't DEILD. But still, I wasn't done LDing for the night now! When I fell back asleep...

      ...I found myself in Walmart in 1995. Only I had memories from 2010 still. It was like I had time traveled; the building, the ads, the decorations...all of it looked exactly like it had IRL in 1995. "Hah! This is all old stuff!" I said to myself as I walked through the place. "I wonder if I'm dreaming...but how can I find that out without drawing a lot of attention, in case this is real?"

      I settled on getting something off the top shelf without any assistance. I figured the shelf was too high for me to normally be able to jump up and reach, so I'd definitely be dreaming if I could pull the object down. So I got ready, jumped, and made it far higher than the shelf, and in fact, landed on my feet right on top!

      "This is definitely a dream! How cool!"

      "What are you doing up there!?" A woman called. "You're going to kill yourself!"

      "No I'm not, I'm dreaming!" I replied, jumping off and landing with a roll to the ground, completely unhurt. "See?"

      Apparently I offended her, cuz she stormed off.

      I ignored it.

      "Now to update this place!"

      I didn't even reach out my hands; I just thought about everything in the store changing to its present-day state, and as I watched, signs everywhere began to flip around with new ads and decorations, shelves and aisles rearranged themselves, and products morphed into their current versions.

      Satisfied, I turned around and found myself staring at my ceiling. Once again, on my back, waking myself up...

      Writing those dreams makes me feel a lot more in control than I felt actually going through them. I really was aware that I was dreaming, but because I kept waking up, I still felt disconnected from my dream body, and thus the dreams felt 'shallow'...if that's the right descriptor.

      But anyway, it seems I was having trouble lucid dreaming because my brain somehow wasn't making the connection between non-lucid dreams and lucid dreams. It was apparently expecting to be lucid from the beginning or not at all, since I practically had to force it to accept the fact that I was in a dream at first, and go from non-lucid to being lucid. But after that, I was conscious of being in a dream far easier, so maybe I just needed to shatter that mental concept and now I'll be back to lucid dreaming every night!

      Not a very exciting night last night...fell asleep too quickly to MILD very well, though I did try. I only really remember one dream, too.

      It was a few months in the future; I was running around the camp that I film for during the summer. Only thing was, I wasn't filming, just running. With a quick look to my watch I found it to be Thursday.

      "Oh, crap! The week is almost over and I haven't done any filming!"

      I doubled my running speed to try and find some campers to film, but as I attempted to dodge obstacles, I climbed up onto higher ground just to find myself caught between a tree and the dirt. Couldn't pull through, so I pushed myself back out, but in the process my backbone bent in a way it shouldn't be able to, and it hurt. But I kept on running!

      Finally I made it to where everyone was going to play a game.

      "Well, at least there will be some footage for the movie."

      One of the camp leaders approached me.

      "Are you ok? You don't look so good." He asked.

      "I can't believe it...I don't know what happened...but the week is nearly over and I haven't done any filming!"

      The guy looked at me funny.

      "We just got here a few hours ago."

      I was too relieved to think of reality checking for the strange turn of events. I ran off to start filming...

      ...and next thing I know, I'm at my house, and several of my friends came and we went inside. But then I turned around and they were no longer there, so I just went on with the day as usual.

      Eventually I remembered that I had had friends over, so I went looking for them, and finally discovered them outside, playing on a mini golf course that was where my driveway should be.

      "Where did this come from?" I asked.

      "Dude, you've had this here for ages!" One of them replied.

      "Really?" Was all I had to say.

      Now why didn't I reality check from something in that?? Man, I'm slow...

      Well, all you people out there who think you may have turned off your alarm in your sleep, I have solid proof that it is quite possible to do!

      Other than that, my dreams really accomplished nothing. I was too worn out to stay conscious of mind very long, and I think that continued all through the dream, preventing me from becoming lucid.

      As for retelling this dream, it's a bit difficult for me to accurately place events in a timeline, since so many things were happening at once and I was in a very deep sleep so as to not be conscious of my surroundings, really. But I will try.

      The first thing I remember is finding myself in a very large house with tons of stuff all around. Since I saw a friend there, I naturally attributed the place to him. Outside, there were huge trailers just filled with items of every sort. I was told I could do whatever I wanted with what I could find. Being a techie guy, I naturally headed right for the electronics. After some digging, I found one of every console system Nintendo has ever made. NES, SNES, N64, Wii...the whole shebang.

      So I took them all inside and cracked open the cases. Then I wired and cut and soldered them all together to fit as one multi-platform device inside a modified Wii case. My friend and I then tested it out, and although we had controller troubles at first, before long everything was working no problem. I remember playing Star Wars Episode I: Racer for the N64 with SNES controllers

      At some point, the doorbell rang. As it turned out, the person who had arrived was an online friend of mine that I've never actually met in real life, but he said he was in the area and decided to stop by. (Even though I wasn't at my own house, somehow he knew where I was ) It was great actually getting to see him and spend time with him, but before we could do too much, my watch alarm started going off.

      "What's that?" My two friends asked.

      "Oh, that's my wake back to bed alarm. Since you guys are here, I'll just turn it off and do it some other time."

      I looked down at my watch and saw the time displaying the proper hour and minute for when it should go off. Then I pressed the two buttons on the side to disable the alarm, and it stopped.

      There was a lot more to that dream...soldiers and trying to escape and relationship issues...but it's all a jumble in my head. I can't remember how it connects, though I know that it somehow did seamlessly go from one thing to another, never mind whether it made sense or not. I think what I wrote was the most important part of the dream anyway, though.

      I finally remembered to pick up a new watch, so the alarm works fine now, but apparently that didn't change its effectiveness all that much...at least it's rather funny how that worked out

      Sorry there was no entry yesterday. I've been overtaken by really bad allergies, and I couldn't sleep that night...so obviously, I had no real dreams, just vague images here and there.

      Last night I fared a bit better; sleep didn't come easily, but it did come, and brought dreams with it. Still, my discomfort messed up recall a bit, so only the lucid part really stands out in my memory.

      I was in what was like a mix of real life and Mass Effect. That is, there were people and locations from real life, but I was actually Commander Shepherd and I remember even mentioning to a few people that I was a Spectre as well. When I would talk to people, frequently (though not always) I would choose my sentences from a circle of options, just like in the game. I also remember adjusting my equipment selection from a 'screen' that perfectly mimicked the original Mass Effect screen.

      And I had a Palm Pre, which totally made my day

      Although I don't recall there being any fights, at one point a DC who looked a lot like a certain friend of mine came up and said:

      "That was a pretty slick move you made back there."

      For some reason that seemed to ring a bell in my head, and I could just feel in the air that I could pull off any moves I attempted. That much figured out, it was only a moment later before I figured out why...

      "Oh right! This is a dream!" I whispered quietly to myself. Then I cleared my throat and spoke up. "Dude, I am the ONE! I can do anything!"

      "Really?" The DC asked. "Show me."

      "Ok. Watch."

      I then ran a few steps and did a flip that landed me perfectly on my feet.

      "And I can't even do flips! Not in real life, anyway."

      Someone clapped, even though I never saw who. Figured it was worth going on if they'd enjoy a show, though. Since I couldn't really injure myself, it seemed a good time to try something that would kill me IRL.

      I ran another few steps and did a flip and a half, this time landing directly on my head. Then I just stood like that, maintaining balance without my hands, even, and even though I was surprised to find that it did hurt, I wasn't actually wounded, so it didn't bother me.

      After that, I did everything I could think of to show off; butterfly twists, wall runs, handsprings...a lot of stuff requested by the onlooking DC's.

      Maybe I just went too crazy and flung my head around so much that the dream faded, I don't know. But for whatever reason, just like I went lucid in order to start pulling off moves, I stopped pulling off moves and lost lucidity.

      The dream only went on a little while after that anyway, so I didn't miss out on much.

      Seems weird that I just don't RC in my dreams anymore. I do RCs faithfully every day for weeks, and then in the dreams that end up being lucid, I just...go lucid. It's very unfortunate, actually. I have the presence of mind to understand that I can do things that I can't do IRL, but my mind is still absent enough to not be very creative; I usually just keep doing whatever I was doing in the non-lucid part of the dream, just in a more extraordinary way. And it doesn't really feel like lucidity should...more like the feeling of playing a video game that I have total control over than feeling physically present in the dream.

      I'll have to work on that...maybe I should start RCing assuming that I've already gone lucid, so that when I naturally go lucid in dreams, my first action will be to RC and thus improve my state of mind.

      I wasn't honestly expecting to dream last night cuz allergies have been making sleep of any sort be difficult, but I came across these great binaural beats on youtube that really did get me into a Theta frequency, and I just went right to sleep without medicine or having to sit up all night! (and by the way, I feel INCREDIBLY better today. Binaural beats FTW!)

      So my recall isn't the best this time since I wasn't planning on recalling anything, but with some thought I was able to remember a couple dreams.

      Dream 1: I was at the dentist's, and they were telling me I would have to get my two front bottom teeth removed. With a look in the mirror, I understood why; there were WAY too many teeth in my mouth, which had made a real problem. But the two that they were suggesting I have removed were about the only two that were actually straight, so I argued against it.

      "Why not take out these two on the sides? They're just about to get pushed out anyway; they're more of an annoyance than anything!"

      But that didn't work on the dentist. Actually, nothing did. I tried to come up with all sorts of other ideas, but he refused to do anything other than his own idea.

      I'm not really sure if that dream ended and I woke up, or if it just changed to this next dream, but since the two have no connection, I'm separating them anyway.

      Dream 2: I took a vacation to Florida and stayed with my uncle and aunt...except they were only there for about five minutes of my entire two week stay there. (Of course this dream didn't show me every moment of the two weeks; time skipped left and right and I don't recall it ever being night) I went all over the city and enjoyed the sights, but never once did I see a beach. It was all a bit futuristic, actually. The cars still ran on wheels rather than floating in the air and such, but the roads were elevated without support beams, and the buildings looked like they had been designed more for aesthetics than functionality.

      Not very exciting stuff, I know, but I'll bet with these binaural beats that I've found I can figure out some way to have LDs very consistently and quickly, which will be simply awesome.

      With a binaural beat that I have discovered to work for me very well, I decided it was time to focus on WILD again. I went online with my PDA and navigated to the youtube link so it would be ready for me, set an alarm, and went to bed after a listen to get me ready to fall asleep the instant I got in bed.

      All was well until I put my arm under my pillow in my sleep, effectively silencing my watch alarm until it shut off on its own. I happened to wake up on my own while there was still plenty of time to WILD, but it was later in the morning than I had intended. Not a big deal, I figured, since I had binaural aid to help me fall back asleep.

      But then I realized something else...my left ear had stopped up over night, which would mess up the beat. I'd be getting a much stronger frequency in the right ear than the left ear, so they wouldn't combine to that all-important third frequency in my brain and thereby put me into Theta mode.

      I tried listening to it anyway, but after it had gone through twice, I still was no closer to being asleep than when it had started, and usually I'm very nearly asleep after just one listen through. So I took out the headphones and tried to do things the old fashioned way.

      All I got was a non-lucid dream where I was trying unsuccessfully to WILD.

      Stupid ear wax.

      I had no dream recall yesterday, which is why there was no entry.

      Today, I've only got a bit better recall. I think I just keep falling too deep into sleep because I've been up later than usual.

      In my notes I have written that the dream was like a mixture of Mass Effect and Monsters Inc., but I have absolutely no idea what that is supposed to mean. Don't remember Monsters Inc. being involved at all...but here's what I do remember.

      (for those of you unfamiliar with Mass Effect, I've linked to key game elements so you can get an idea of what was going on in the context of the game)

      Everyone was on the Presidium level of the Citadel from Mass Effect. The place was still a huge mess from Sovereign and Saren's attack, and I was on a team of people cleaning up a part of the financial district.

      The dream was incredibly clear; like the detail of a lucid dream without the lucidity. I put on fingerless leather gloves to get to work, and the little bumps on the leather looked and felt as they would in real life. As I worked to pick things up and clean debris away, I felt muscular exertion, as if I really was doing hard work.

      Even though there was a ton of work to be done, it really wasn't that bad to have to do it. Everyone was just happy for the Geth War to be drawn to somewhat of an end and for the Reaper to have been destroyed. Plus, I was doing all the work with friends (some from real life, others aliens from the game, namely a Salarian and an Asari) which kept our spirits up, since we could talk and make jokes the whole time.

      But the entire day was not to go so well. After finishing up our assigned area on the financial district, we were sent down into the Wards...to help fix up Chora's Den.

      There was a group of shady characters on the other side of the place, supposedly also cleaning things up. But they were arguing the whole time, apparently on a racial basis. There were a few humans and one Krogan, and I suppose having the majority made them feel confident enough to oppose the alien. But it was still foolish, as eventually they angered the Krogan enough to make him fire a weapon at them, and (big surprise) they had the weapons to fight back.

      Misfires proceeded to take out my team, although we attempted to hide. They hit everyone aside from me and one other person. But the Salarian and Asari were completely riddled with holes. Angered, I pulled out a pistol and promptly took down the one surviving human from the other side of the room. Blood was everywhere; my friend had to run off to avoid throwing up on the spot.

      Then something strange happened. A bunch of mice ran out from the debris and began to climb into the bullet holes on the dead Asari. Somehow they reanimated her and she stood up, now bent on my destruction.

      The dream then went into third person and followed me as if the whole thing were just a video game. I tried to run away from the Asari, but it seemed everywhere I went I would reach a dead end and get caught, which would cause the dream to 'load the autosave' from when the Asari was transformed. I'd watch the mice all over again and then try to run away, but get stuck in a dead end. This went on for five or six more tries before I finally found a passage that had been partially blocked by debris, preventing me from seeing it in the past. I managed to take that passage without getting slowed down to the point of being caught by the Asari, and this time got far enough away for her to lose my trail.

      Then I hid and waited for her to come my way. When she did, I pulled out my pistol again and shot her in the head. She completely exploded, sending mice flying everywhere before they scattered and ran.

      I woke up shortly after that.

      Saturday, April 24, 2010

      Well, last night I went to bed trying out a new MP3 to see if it would help me wake up at the right time to WILD.

      The MP3 definitely worked; I didn't wear headphones all night, but I turned the volume all the way up and then wrapped the earbud cords around my bed post and then slid the buds down into all the cord loops so they stayed in place pointing right at my head.

      It woke me up two times in the night, but only on the first time did I get anything good out of it. My memory served me well enough; I noticed as soon as I woke up, but didn't rush to a billion thoughts that would wake me up. I simply rolled over, got into a comfortable position, and then went completely still. It wasn't long before I saw HI and felt SP...and yet, I must have lost consciousness at some point, because the next thing I remember is everything being totally black and me being totally unaware of my body. I don't recall ever seeing flashing lights or feeling the ground shake, which happen every time I WILD, or even just get close to succeeding at one.

      But at least I regained consciousness at this point, body asleep, mind awake, and in a dreamless state. So I decided to try and make one of my own.

      "A character is appearing in front of me."

      Sure enough, a moment later, I saw a DC turn her head out of the darkness (yes, it was a girl). Suddenly I felt as if I were sinking, drawing closer to her. The girl's eyes shot open and stared at me as if from afar. I continued to sink inward, and as I did so, more than the girl's head faded into view.

      She reached her hand out to me, almost robotically, as the sinking began to slow down. I felt as if I would lose the dream; like I was momentarily to rocket back upward and wake up. But I reached out and managed to just barely grab hold of her hand, and she pulled, breaking the opposing force suspending me in the air and causing me to freefall down into the dream.

      After falling what felt like ten or fifteen feet, I collided with something, and instantly the dream was in full view. I had hit a bed, and now I bounced off and landed on the floor. The girl had been on the other side of the bed than the one that I fell on, and the impact had effectively knocked her out as well.

      She was startled, like she hadn't seen me before. Maybe she thought what had just happened was a dream for her or something.

      "Who...who are you?" She asked, holding up a blanket to cover herself.

      "I'm..." I paused to quickly think up a title that wouldn't give everything away to her as a dream. I didn't know her well enough yet to know if she'd respond well to that or not.

      "...a friend."

      Her entire countenance changed immediately, then. I wish now that I had just told her the truth, though, because as soon as I ignored my connection to real life, I lost it completely.

      "Oh! And you haven't even been given a place to sleep!"

      "That won't be necessary. I'm...really not tired, to be honest."

      "Well you must at least need something to eat or drink! Come, this way!"

      The girl then hurried down the hallway, pulling the blanket around herself as she went. Not knowing what else to do, I followed. Her house was very futuristic; technology not (yet) existent was everywhere. Eventually we made it to a small kitchen with a round table to one side.

      "Please, sit." She said, handing me a glass of something to drink.

      It suddenly struck me how sweet this girl was...no doubt about it, I was falling in love.

      "So," the girl began. "Would you mind telling me a bit about yourself?"

      "Sure, but...I still don't even know your name." (funny that I would say this, since she still didn't know my name)

      "Oh! I'm so sorry. My name is Avina."

      After that I told her about my past, which was now a bunch of false memories telling me I had been a soldier in the Alliance Military that was sent to guard the city and I had fallen through Avina's roof by mistake.

      "I feel so terrible!" Avina exclaimed when I had finished my story.

      "What? Why?"

      "I've kept you up this whole time! Didn't even give you the option of waiting until morning!"

      "It...kind of is morning, Avina." I replied after seeing a nearby clock read 3:00am

      "Right. There's another bed in my room; you may use that if you want to. Feel free to wake me up if you need anything else!"

      And next thing I know, I'm in a bed beneath a large window in Avina's room, and I can't fall asleep or take my eyes off of her. Eventually I couldn't resist any longer. Slowly, quietly, I walked over to her bed and just watched her sleep a moment.

      Before I knew it, my hand had found its way down, and I was stroking her hair, caressing the side of her face, and then leaning down for a kiss. Of course that woke Avina right up, but she didn't fight or anything. Rather she reached her arms around me and stood up. We continued kissing for quite a while, but then Avina leaned back and said:

      "I will be yours. Always."

      After that things kind of blur together. My duties with the Alliance Military frequently pulled us apart, but we always made every effort to be together. Travel distance or cost didn't matter.

      One point that stands out in my mind is when a huge crowd was before the Citadel Council discussing Alliance plans for the future. As it is typically with politics, everything was going down the tubes as far as I was concerned. What needed to be done seemed so simple to me, and yet everyone was bickering over complex things and not getting anything accomplished.

      As I sat there, listening to all this, I noticed Avina come in the side door and take a seat next to me. She could see the frustration on my face.

      "You should speak. Many people here respect you." She whispered.

      "But that doesn't mean anyone will stand with me! What I say is useless without backup."

      "I'll stand with you." Avina said.

      That was all I needed. I stood up, interrupting an official far more important than I, and stated my opinion on the matter. The council, as expected, told me I was out of my mind and to sit back down. I continued, however, and asked for anyone who agreed with my plan to stand with me. At first, no one did. But then Avina stood, which soon encouraged another to stand, and another, and another, until the intimidation of the council was broken and the entire room of men and women was standing in my favor, opposed to the council. They had no choice but to accept my plan for the Alliance Military, then.

      Gets blurry again...next thing I remember, Avina and I were arriving at her house after being married. It was late, but there was no chance we could sleep.

      "Tell me this isn't a dream!" Avina said. "I cannot believe all this...it is just too wonderful!"

      "This isn't a dream!" I said. "It's just us--forever!"

      Then we lay down in the same bed this time and...well, you can probably figure out what.

      We didn't get a wink of sleep that night, but neither of us cared. I don't think we ever even let go of each other before dawn.


      Well...make of that what you will. It was an incredible experience for me, anyway. Doubt anyone else will really appreciate it the same way.

      YES!! Finally a decent lucid dream again!

      I've had several recent lucids before this, yes, but as of late they have been more like playing a video game than being physically present in the dream. This one was like being physically present again, which is awesome!

      First thing I know, I'm flat on the ground in the snow. Only it isn't cold, just pleasantly chilly. After getting up onto my feet, I looked around me, and found I was in the most stunning landscape I have ever seen. Right before me was a cliff that dropped down several hundred feet. Extending beyond that was miles and miles of rocky terrain with various elements at random points throughout. A little bit of green here, a little pool of water there...it really compensated for the rockiness, making the area feel very lush despite its overall gray appearance.

      And then there was the volcano. Out in the distance, a huge mountain stood high above the rest of the place, spewing out its lava high into the deep, deep blue sky. Bluer sky than I've ever seen before. And when the lava collided with the atmosphere, it totally transformed, causing a super-nova-like ball of light to hover in the sky, followed by curvy contrails of dusty steam spreading all over, making the sky seem full of stars even though it was still daytime.

      As I beheld this magnificent display, there was no question in my mind. "This is a dream." I said. "It has to be." I pinched my nose and breathed in, and sure enough, air passed right through.

      I almost wasn't sure if I wanted to leave. This place was so magnificent I gladly would have just studied and memorized it for the duration of the dream, but I figured there were better things to do.

      The first thing that came to mind was to try and summon a friend and see if it would result in a shared dream. I tried the "when I turn around, so-and-so will be there" thing, but it didn't work (in fact, I can't seem to get that to work any place but a WILD) so I tried transforming a rock as I'd done before. That almost worked. As I slowly raised my hands, simultaneously willing the rock to grow and turn into a person, the ground shook beneath me and the terrain deformed a bit, but no person came. Maybe the rock wasn't distinct enough, considering everything else around me was rock, too.

      Eventually I gave up on that idea and so I took off into the air to fly someplace interesting. Before long, I came to a very industrial-looking city; really cool place. In the very middle of that city was an arena, and this caught my attention. It had a big sign over the entrance that read: "Shared Game."

      As I walked inside, I was greeted by a rather tall guy who asked me straight out: "Do you know that you're dreaming?"

      "Yep, I do. So is this place what I think it is?"

      "We're all lucid dreamers, here. We come to play the Game, but only lucid dreamers are allowed inside. Non-lucid people just get pounded in there."

      "How do you play?"

      "There aren't really any rules. The object of the game is just to get the ball from the other team and get it to the other side of the field, which scores you a point. How you get it to the other side and how you keep the other team from doing so is up to you."

      "Sounds cool, can I just join in right now?"

      "Of course! Have fun!"

      So I went into the arena, was welcomed by a huge group of people who all claimed to be lucid dreamers, chose a team to side with, and we played. It was the craziest game I've ever played. The ball was constantly being changed hands. Teleportation, flying, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, whatever--all of it was allowed and frequently used. Points weren't scored very often, but eventually the other team did get to 5 (which I learned was the winning score). I believe my team ended up at 3, though, so we didn't do too bad.

      After that game, I said goodbye and left the arena with a personal dream goal in mind: to skydive without a parachute or a plane. I just took off right there, looking down at the world below, the buildings, the arena and the dreamers who were still playing the game...it was all so real!

      Once I reached a good height, I stopped flying and let myself enter freefall. It was a short trip back down, but a lot of fun! I landed smack on the ground, right on my face, but quickly got back up.

      Problem was, for that moment that I was laying down, the dream started to fade, like I had put myself in the position that I was sleeping in IRL. So I did another nose RC to clear things up a bit longer, but I was losing control fast by now. Before long, I was completely non-lucid, and the dream transformed into a confusing plot about a guy trying to take over the world using cows.

      All in all, for being a ton shorter than it had to be, that was really a great LD. Next time I won't skydive I guess...unless I can land on my feet. The realism was really great, though. All the scenery was very dramatic and the lighting was odd, but it gave a cool effect. And I would really love to learn if those were actually other lucid dreamers playing that game.

      Ugh...dream recall is getting bad again.

      I went to Target and bought a Wii component video cable, and instantly I was back home and it was set up, so I turned the Wii on, set the video mode to 480p instead of the default 480i, and suddenly everything on the screen was completely smooth and the colors all looked nicer.

      That's all I remember. What a waste of a dream, right? The only un-realistic part was instant teleportation...other than that, it all happened just like it would in real life, and it wasn't even a very exciting real-life-like event anyway.

      Still no good recall...I came SO close to getting a dream fully remembered, but as I continued to wake up, I lost almost everything.

      I just started a new job so I'm probably just a little stressed out.

      Ok, FINALLY got some recall and a lucid dream in!

      Dream 1: I started a fantasy novel on google docs, but apparently should have paid more attention to the security settings. Soon, a whole bunch of people were writing in it, and so when I suddenly was inside the story, it caused a whole bunch of chaos. Writers tried to kill off other writers by writing monsters and magicians and all that into the story, and there was a ton of blood...I once threw my sword into the eye of a giant troll and blood squirted everywhere, including all over the writer who had spawned him in the first place. I wrote another sword into the story and took down that writer, too.

      A lot of such things happened...I can't remember them all. But at the end, I was the only writer still standing, and I was sucked out of the story back to my desk...and the google docs novel had been completely erased

      I woke up for a brief moment after that and went back to sleep.

      Dream 2: A false awakening, only in the past. I was probably 14 or 15. I was compelled somehow to get up out of bed and sneak downstairs to get something, but I can't remember what anymore. I knew I couldn't get caught, though, whatever it was.

      I made it downstairs easily enough, but then my dad started to head down as well, since he was getting ready to leave for work. I hid beneath a table and hoped he wouldn't see me. But he did...and yet, didn't react at all to my presence. So I got out from hiding and sneaked around the place, got what I needed, and then headed back upstairs just as my dad left. He could have seen me several times, but it was like I was invisible to him. I thought it was weird, but didn't realize I was dreaming.

      This time I woke up and realized it. I forced my eyes open for a short while and then attempted a WILD. Got everything still, saw a bit of HI, and then...FLASH! Woosh!

      Dream 3: I was in a false awakening again, but in the present day. I couldn't focus at all...I couldn't move...had to pinch my nose. Had to! Forced my arm up with much difficulty, pinched, breathed through...

      and then things jumped into better clarity. Only, my vision was still screwy, like being cross-eyed and not able to fix it. After trying just to correct my vision a bit without results, I decided I would teleport. "1...2...3!" I said, building up my energy and then thrusting my head forward through the pillow, shutting my eyes.

      When I opened them again, I was just outside my house, floating in mid-air. Suddenly an idea came to mind: "I wonder what's beyond the sky?" I thought. "I should find out!" So I flew straight up, not to go into space, but to the top of the sky, as if it were just a skybox in a video game.

      I went through it once and all was just black, so I ducked back down into the sky, waited a moment, and then went back through it again.

      This time I came up out of water, and looking around me, I found myself to be at a beach where all the water was the sky, and if you swam down very far, you'd fall down into the world. But I didn't want that, of course, so I climbed onto the sand and walked around a bit. Everything was so real it was crazy...every plant, every grain of sand--it all astounded me.

      Pretty soon a girl came up to me...she was like a combination of people from real life that I've seen, but not met. Of course, being lucid, I didn't hesitate to go up and talk to her. We ended up sitting down together on a couple beach chairs, but that was a mistake. The moment I stopped moving and started to only focus on one thing (the girl), I started to lose the dream. My vision began to switch to the false awakening again, even though I could still feel my dream body at that beach with the girl. I pinched my nose and moved my head, which brought things back up for a little while, but it didn't last long.

      Not as good as my last WILD, but it'll do. There are a couple private matters I left out that made the dream worthwhile

      I might have just discovered a great gem of lucid dreaming. I call it: RC-MILD, since you basically just MILD, but replace a mantra with one solid, thorough RC.

      So I thought up this new method, then got in bed and just tried to go to sleep normally. But I was watching myself, that I didn't actually fall asleep. I just wanted to be near sleep so that the RC would be the last thing I remembered doing. When I felt close to being asleep, I sat up, did the full RC, and then laid back down and next thing I know, I'm asleep.

      [COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]In the dream I entered, I was watching some video on youtube. Nothing unusual was going on; there was really nothing to indicate that it was a dream. And yet, all of a sudden I had this impulse to to a reality check, and upon pinching my nose, I tested out[/COLOR] to be dreaming! I was a bit surprised at the immediate success of RC-MILD, and couldn't think up something original to do now that I was lucid. So I just decided to practice my shapeshifting more.

      I turned around and found myself suddenly outside some mansion, which I ignored and went on to the shape shifting. People passed by me doing that as if nothing were out of the ordinary. Eventually I must have tried to go too far with a stretch or something, because the dream started to fade big time. So I rubbed hands, rubbed hands, rubbed hands...and it came back in full force, the shapeshifts still being part of me!

      I tried to walk around after that and just see what I could see, but eventually my lucidity faded
      [COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"], all the shapeshifts just literally fell off of my body, leaving a normal me behind, and the dream continued on, turning into some strange videogame-like experience[/COLOR]

      Not a bad start for my first time with a new method...I must go start a thread about this now!

      Ok, no title on this one, cuz the days are kind of messed up.

      It's been hard to lucid dream lately what with starting a new job and all...that's usually what my mind is filtering through at night. Faces, words, tasks, various other important things to remember...makes it hard to go to sleep for a while. But despite this, I'm making my best effort to do intentionally do something I've never done on purpose before...and get proof that I really did it this time, too.

      What am I referring to? Shared dreaming, naturally.

      A good friend of mine and I have everything set up. (He's not on DV, and he probably won't ever be [says he's too busy for another online thing...he doesn't even visit the forums he already has memberships to lol] so if you don't know him personally you won't be able to see his part, but trust me to be honest on this one, k? ) Oh yeah, and his name's Mike.

      Anyway, what we're trying to do is totally crazy. Mike came up with it, but I'm sure willing to go along since it would be very entertaining to watch. The dream will be set in Florida, in a field with a bunch of purple rhinos who kidnapped a girl. Mike will ride in on Pegasus and dominate the rhinos, then ride off with the girl to some super nice restaurant.

      My part in all this? To bring Pegasus to him, lead him to Florida, etc...basically set up the scene and watch it happen. We thought it would be interesting to have this kind of direct co-involvement in a shared dream. It won't just be seeing another dreamer, it will be two dreamers dynamically affecting a singular environment with one cause in mind.

      So far nothing has happened. I've come close to being lucid a couple times, but close just ain't good enough. Mike's recall has been low lately, so whether or not he's been close to lucidity we can't say. But one dream he remembered was partially lucid, as he intentionally exited the dream in order to wake up on time.

      And there you have it...what has happened since I've been gone a few days. Hopefully this shared dreaming experiment goes well! Whether it does or not, I'll be sure to try one with a DV member after this, so we'll have both DJ's online

      Still no luck with the shared dreaming experiment, but I came close to being lucid last night.

      I was in my livingroom, practicing my kicks and the like. All of a sudden, however, I had this impulse to do a backflip, and the knowledge of how to do it right just came to me. So I gave it a shot, and succeeded!

      "Woah, I can do backflips!"

      I tried again, and succeeded again. Now confident of my jumping ability, I began to think through the Matrix fight between Neo and Morpheus to see what else I should try.

      I got a little running start, then jumped, triple-kicked, and then landed with plenty of time to spare.

      "I've never been able to get three kicks in before...only two, and that was cutting it close!"

      After that I further discovered I could lay on the ground and roll straight backwards, springing off my hands onto my feet, do wallflips with multiple upward steps, and a number of other cool things.


      That's the part where I almost went lucid. I should have known to reality check then, but I certainly recognized the situation as not being normal, every day life. It didn't continue, though.

      [COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]Next thing I know, there's a world-famous runner taking on the most dangerous course ever. I showed up to the race as a competitor, totally unknown by the crowd watching, and the subject of the champion runner's mockery. Even famous people weren't as fast as he was...so he was sure I wouldn't come close to matching his speed. I just smiled and let him bash me with his words, knowing I had a secret he was unaware of.

      As soon as the race started, I took off running. Since I was a late entry, I started dead last, but within thirty seconds I had cleared all opponents other than the champ himself. It was just the two of us on the cameras that followed us down the track.

      Very soon the paved part of the track ended and we were in a canyon area. Rocks were everywhere...it would have been easy to trip. The champ and I were neck-and-neck, and he decided it was time to lose me, so he began to run to the side to push me into the rock wall. I just took a step up the wall, did a flip, and landed on the other side of the champ, still running at full speed. He was so surprised that he tripped, and I took the lead for a long time.

      From here it gets hazy, but there was a lot more to the race. The champ caught up eventually, but not enough to win. The track also involved a lot harder stuff, like chasms that had to be crossed by swinging across bars, rock walls that had to actually be climbed, etc.[/COLOR]

      Soon after I woke up from that dream, I realized that I had unintentionally entered SP. Before long I was feeling my dream body and making movements with full sensation, but my real body wasn't even twitching. Multiple times I even saw things and interacted with them briefly, but a full dream never formed. I'm quite sure that with time it would have, but it was getting late, and I knew I couldn't afford to sleep through another REM cycle, so I had to wake up.

      But at least I now have a better idea of when to try to get into SP! If I could just go to bed a bit earlier so that I get the same amount of sleep earlier in the night and then WILD...maybe that would finally get me another super lucid dream!

      LiveInTheDream: Friday, April 2, 2010 - "I'm doing it...for him!" I then felt my eyes rolling back into my head, unstoppably, and black swirls began to cover my vision... I don't think I want to dwell on that one..."
      How would you rate this in terms of scariness, compared to your other nightmares? In one of my old nightmares I had the reverse transition. I inexplicably exited the situation by shifting to watching it on TV.

      Well, now that it's over I find it very interesting and not scary at all, but I know that while I was going through it I was quite freaked out...on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being scariest, I would say it was 7.

      I'm interested to read any dream you have posted that you rank a 7 or higher in overall scariness then... This one surprised me with its plot complexity.

      It surprises me, too. I still can't figure out how I would have dreamed up a DC with a will to prevent me from waking up :\

      I have had lucid DC who were "in love with me" complain about me ruining things by "knowing it was a dream." The one that comes to mind I still remember by name... She hurt my boyhood feelings, and I do not recall ever seeing her in a dream again. -This was long before I lucid trained.

      Yeah, while a lot of DC's don't amount to much, some of them can really have a strong effect on your mind for one reason or another. I don't treat all my DC's with deep respect for that fact, but it's a good idea to bear in mind that your dream characters can affect you.
