      Howie's Dream Journal

      DREAM JOURNAL</span>


      Facts about Howetzer&#39;s Dream Journal.

      I have been Lucid Dreaming since 2002.
      Looking over this past year (2004) I had 53 Lucid dreams
      My goals:
      1. To name each Lucid dream
      2. To note which day they occur (since I have started = over 50 % were on Sunday)
      3. To note what position I was in when I awoke. ( On my back since noting is how I usually awake.)

      I record my non lucid dreams in a written journal.
      Because of time restrictions I am going to post only dreams that I feel are out of the ordinary, funny, or possibly educational.

      Bringing my journal up to date

      Notes:
      I have had four experiences that have grabbed my attention.
      I am in a state that has been described to me as a deep lucid. Unlike sleep paralysis on these occasions I am completely conscious but without the ability to move or have any auditory input or visual characteristics. Just a void of consciousness.
      It has been explained to be called a near death experience. I am still in the process Of coming to my own conclusion.
      A state at which you become Lucid during Delta sleep.

      I have had two OBE&#39;s
      That is if to say if you looked up the definition. I am struggling with the concept they exist as how they are perceived by the general populas. I feel they are a form of a lucid experience. But I must say on both occasions it did in fact feel like my conscious mind was leaving my physical body. I&#39;m keeping an open mind to this, or trying at least.

      I have had Six non lucid dreams where I was a complete different character than myself.
      An old lady. Who had four days to live - This grounded me. very real&#33;
      Kurt Cobain. With an inner view with Kurt Loder.
      John Malcovich. This was before I realized there was a movie called, "Being John Malkovich" &#33;?&#33;
      President Bush. I was making an address to the nation.
      Michael Douglas. I assumed his confident Characteristics (same with the above characters)
      Elvis. I was greeting people at the door of a party. Again Confident.

      I feel these dreams are noteworthy and show sign of my lack of confidence. In each one I felt as how I feel that they would feel, nothing like myself.
      Complete and utter confidence, which I cannot even obtain in my LDs


      I have had several false awakenings. Some in which were sooo real that I did a reality check to find myself waking up again

      Sleep Paralysis.
      This is something I have on occasion but am comfortable with them and use them for what I can. -Try to OBE or gain Lucidity or maybe something I don&#39;t even know about

      <span style="color:darkred">Hypnagogic Imagery

      This is the area where I am most efficient. I can have them every night unless I fall asleep before trying.
      I have very vivid HI & several unique ideas have been spawned out of these images.

      Her

      This is a good argument for how some people perceive dream morality.

      As I was standing in my kitchen I was talking to my friends sister who I had liked at one point in my life. So it would be no surprise that I find her physically appealing.
      I had noticed the table that we were standing at was in the middle like an Island. My Wife & I had discussed before how nice it would be to have an island in the the kitchen if it were big enough.
      The awareness of the table being in that position gave me the sign to realize I was in a dream.
      As I became Lucid I told the girl that we are in a dream. Her reply was, "Yes I know. My brother has told me that you are in to those things." (Lucid dreams)"You can do anything you want in those he said." As she said that my mind contemplated being physical with her. As I went to act upon this I hesitated for a second about wright and wrong. I believe I was going to act anyway and I then awoke instantly.

      My subconscious does not allow me to do things that I know in the back of my head are wrong. Not that this is a bad thing.

      :finger:
      I recieved The random house Bad Spellers Dictionary for Cristmas
      Thanks for pointing that out though really.

      I watched Vanilla Sky last night. I had seen it before and never realized they actually called it Lucid Dreaming in the movie.
      Anyway, I pondered over wakeing life & dreams, sleep, etc. after the movie & before going to sleep.
      NO dreams that I can recall.?!?

      So if you were married or if your married, you would not care if your partner engaged in sexual activities with other woman?

      Soilent Green & fisher

      Name = Soilent Green 1/22/05

      I was talking to a couple of people that I had gone to school with when I realized that I had not talked to the one individual for a long time. When this question arrose, so did the question of my awarness. This is where I became lucid. As I loooked around the surroundings were sooo vivid. It was remarkable. Everything was green. In the dream I called it soilent green, as we have a meber called that I suspect. But the remainder of the dream was me floating around just taking in the environment and how beautiful it all had seemed.

      Second Lucid = Fisher

      Maybe stemming from my first LD that night my wife & I were in the kitchen looking at her siamese fighting fish, she calls Fisher. I had emediatly realized that the vivid colors of the fish were of hues not of the waking world - which made me lucid.
      I said to Brooke, We are dreaming. She was in denial. "No way she said." As she said that I comanded the fish to float through the air to prove to her. She was then excited. In my dream it was as if I had to prove to her that she could Ld. Although I new in my dream she was nothing more then a dream character. At any rate, from our excitement I reached over to kiss her. as I closed my eyes I woke up.

      I Had to ask her. Brooke had know odd or lucid dreams that night.

      This was the first night that I listened to the trance induction CD - to induce LD's
      Index of/DV

      01/28/04 I had a dream last night where I was at my house but in the dream it was my brother & sister in-laws house. We were having a birthday party.
      (I have done some remodeling to my home, for real.) In the dream I had my head down walking to put my coat in the spare room. I looked up to realize the door was not there anymore. (which it really isn't). So as I went to go around to where the door actually is my sister in-law said that my brother does that all the time.
      I then proceeded to tell her that that would be a good time to do a reality check. And I explained how to do one. All the while I was sound asleep.

      A (WILD) spree

      Last night was great. I have had little succes in using the WILD technique. But last night made me realize something. How much effort have I really put in doing so? Not enough.
      I was dead set on keeping my mind fucused on entering the dream world awake.
      I managed to pull it off three times.

      To the contrary the dreams were very short lived and ,well, boring.
      Each time I was at a point in my house standing there. No one else was around. So I marveled consciously over the fact that I am standing here in a dream while just a few minutes ago I was trying to fall asleep.
      Either way I think it was progress.

      Hey congrats on the successful WILDs!!

      I have to say though, I don't know WHAT it is with some lucid dreams but I have experienced this same exact thing many times before and it really kinda sucks. I don't know if it's like a result of an FA or what...but it's like you are in your room, alone...it's all dark sometimes...but it's not even like a dream...it's really bizarre. When those happen usually I just try to walk out of my house and take flight and then usually something more interesting will happen...

      ...or next time try opening the door to the Lucid Crossroads

      That is exactly what I tried. To walk through my kitchen wall. It got blurry and I awoke. Maybe I should try the the door.


      Again another WILD. This is great.
      Although I have little control as I enter I am entering at my own will. Prior to this I would have a DILD and have more control.
      I want to have control at both ends. And it seems to be going that way. Much like when I first started I get excited and wake up. So the dreams last about 30 seconds.

      I think that when I have those type of lucid dreams (like FAs) where I wake up in my room and everything seems kinda real but "not right"...I always have to leave through either a door or window. I can't walk through anything, or do anything crazy or it gets blurry, and yeah you wake up. I've also tried spinning and I spun myself right out of my LD/FA or whatever the hell it was. I think this is b/c the mind set in these LDs is different...they feel more like real, boring like...less like the fantasy of a dream, and maybe for some reason the mind might not be able to handle "walking through walls/doors" so this is why things get blurry and you wake up. Definitely try to go out your front door or even a window next time.

      These are the types of dreams you do not want to try and explain to someone who has never been lucid. Because I wish I new!

      I was at my highschool. Many of the people that were there were the same people I had went to school with. It was luch time. I was very hungry. As I rushed to the luch line there was a plethora of food to choose from. I remember thinking, wow I don't remember having this much to choose from. (so I confronted the issue at hand with a question --but no lucidity) As I filled my plate I began to think, I forgot my wallet. Then I thought, I don't need a wallet. This is school. I have a luch pass. Just as I was going to sit down my niece, who is 1 year old was running around. I was apalled. Why the hell is there not anyone watching her? So I went to get her. When I came back they had given my lunch away. You know how much time I spent picking out all that food? Her reply, Well it has been sitting here for an hour. I was gone two minutes I proclaimed. (where did my niece go????)
      So I bought a milk * with my money, in my wallet.
      As I began to enter the lunch room my enitial feeling were of anxiety, Where will I sit and be excepted? Then my thought process changed to more of what it is today, in the "now". Again with no lucidity.
      I thought I really don't give a damn if I sit by my self. So I did.
      As I began to eat (wich I thought I only had milk ) A guy I new yelled over. "what have you been doing this whole time?" I said the Fuck if I now what I have done with all this time!?
      The proctor called me over and said that I can't be swearing like this. I replied, Well things are a lot differant now, but out of respect of the younger people I will not swear.

      So many signs ..........No lucidity

      My first dream consisted of my sister and I putting up Christmas lights at my friend and nieghbors house, shawn. *Shawn is definitally a character that has become repetitious. * note as a dream sign*
      In touch with my feminine side I guess. I was singing opera music.? My range of vocal chords were awe inspiring. The other characters that I don't recall and my sister all agreed how tallented I was. I new I could broaden my vocal range even more. However I told them that I was saving it for my concert that night.

      With the recent acquisition of a guitar and my friend singing, music has been a focal point of many of my discussions. Some with the experimenting with singing. Something new to me. although Opera is not my fortay my subconscious may have other plans

      I must admit that having that range of vocal capabilities was great. I love dreams.

      Rediculous!

      I am so discussed that I am not going to record all the specifics for it was a rather lenghty dream.
      I recall the whole dream to my knowledge.

      Three men were in a store but I was not in the dream, physical (just watching i guess) They were going to buy a motor cycle. The one man was informed he had just won a dirt bike. He was excited to no suprise.
      Then I come in. As me and my friend Kevin took off on these Two Bikes as if we had been there the whole time. We flew through the wall like the Dukes of Hazard.
      Then I realize I am riding around with my old boss. * IN real life -One in wich I bought his landscaping company. As agreed in the purchase agreement he was not allowed to do any work in the immediate area that pertains to my line of work. For some reason I felt riding dirt bikes was a breach in our contract. As I was offended, I confronted him. We talked and I reasoned with him. So we went on riding.

      This is where I get appauled. Him and I were discussing if you know when you are in a lucid dream or not. We were jumping these bikes about 400 ft. in the air. I said IT IS PRETTY SAFE TO SAY WE ARE LUCID RIGHT NOW! OTHERWISE WE COULD NOT BE JUMPING THIS HIGH! I never became lucid. the dream continued to some more wierd stuff ...but who cares.

      Finally some activity. Everyone talks about hypnagogic imagarey. There should something like HS- hynagogic sounds.(maybe there is ) This is nothing new to me though. I always have random auditory sounds that come and go just as does the images. I can sometimes begin to manipulate theses sounds, again like images.
      I woke up at 2:30 and my dog had to go outside, I was aggravated at first. but I had to go too. How could I blame him? I also had to put wood in my woodstove...(it was #$^#@! snowing by the way, April fools maybe). So after all that I was pretty awake.
      I went back to bed and had some pretty heavy HI. It then started to turn into sounds -HS ?. It sounded like a key board. I must have fell asleep.
      When I woke up I remember saying to myself. That could have been a movie it was so indepth. I do not remember any of it. I did not write it down.


      I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams I will write down my dreams ( I cheated ...I used copy & paste )

      The chase

      I have had one other dream where one of the characters had an aura around them. That one was lucid. Last nights dream I had another such incident though I was not lucid.

      I was with my wife as we sat in our kitchen. I asked where she wanted to go eat because neither of us felt like cooking. She enthusiastically said the Saffron Patch. A restaurant that serves Indian food. I agreed.
      We were there, with no recollection of how. Brooke had to use the ladies room. I waited. And I waited some more. I looked at my watch (that I actually lost 4 months ago) and realized it had almost been 45 minutes. I felt some what of a panic. I went to one of the hostests & told him they need to go check for her. I felt something was "wrong."
      Brooke came running from around the corner in a panic. She was crying. Something had happened to her. It was bad, I new that much. I asked what had happened? I can't tell you roight now she replied. Lets just get out of here.
      She pointed at a girl in her twenties. She said that is her! She was oriental. (we were in a Chinese restaurant now) Although I had no idea what toook place I felt I had to confront her. I approached her.
      **this is where the auracame in! I said, Is there a problem? As I looked into this girls eyes I felt terror. Evil like I have never felt. I said let's go NOW!
      As we ran for the door there were four or five people after us. I ran out the door. I looked back for Brooke. Then I realized she was pulling around in her old beat up Honda, rahter than her new one???
      She was driving from the passenger seat. So I had to run to the other side. As I sped of we had gotten away by only seconds.
      This car is a real piece of work. I was not going to stop for the top sign. I didn't and tried to take the corner as fast as I felt capable. As I did the front tire fell off. We flew into the ditch. What a horrible feeling of helplesness. I new we were screwed at that point.
      Albiet that almost the entire content of the dream was a nightmare it ended on a somewhat funny note.
      As I crawled out the window I saw all the adversaries standing there with grins on there face, as if they new as I did that they had us. One of the men stood about 6'4" & was3OO lbs. His son not much smaller.
      Then out of know where I looked at them and in a joking manner as if it were a comedy I said, well, I don't supppose any of you are willing to help us out of the ditch eeh?

      Is this ironic or happenstance? As I learned to lucid dream in the three years I had only had two nightmares for I became lucid and then took control.
      I now have somehow found myself in the longest lucid dreaming drought since I have had one. I then have a nightmare
      ?!

      For the rich!

      To write the entire dream down would be rediculous. It seemed two hours long. Tongue

      The dream began as if everything was already in place. All the things were just "knowns". What I did, how I did it, etc.
      I was an owner of this new business I had created. (If I were rich I might actually entertain the idea in real life?!)
      This business catered to not just the rich but the RICH. The kind of people who spare no expense kind of wealth. This however seemed to have incorporated with it illicit and at times unlawful actions.
      These wealthy individuals would contact me to set up parties for them in very extravegant locations. But all the locations involved great heights. Literally. One of the first jobs was to create a party room made of all windows over a narrow area of the grand canyon. This legally, was obviously prohibited. So each job when the party was over, we had to shit and get so to speak. So each set up was very architetually complicated, expensive and taboo. Large cables that were anchored from one side to the other were contructed. I new of how complicated these set ups were but yet that was not my job per say as the owner. I had a consruction crew like no other. For these configurations were one of a kind. Each one being devised to fit the shape and needs of the location first. Then the wants by the clients. Once the party was over the entire set up would have to either be quickly taken down or just abandoned, depending on how fast the law enforcement was on to us. Which we had an entire team just for that reason alone too. Covering our tracks, monitoring the police, etc.
      The parties that took place and what took place were not business of ours. What took place behind closed doors, stayed there. As long as they payed.
      They were very demanding people, often requiring security, catering, female companions, an extravegant entourage etc.. All of which people I had to work around. Making this happen without any legal reprecussions was the hard part.
      Since most of my clients were compiled of a rather small group, my business thrived through word of mouth. But There was always business or so it was in my mind.
      The last project had something to do with setting up a gathering that would consist of my crue to create a party room on the top of the sears building. We began to look into the restrictions, the yays and nays and started the lenghty proceeedings of conjuring up such a plan. The enforcment crew had gotten the floor plans of the building and the security devices and shifts of all the workers. My other crews were beginning to brainstorm, I on the other hand were to meet with the next client who was a 230 lbs. six foot three or so and an Italian. Again I was givine the impression that the party to take place would be of a felonious nature. I did not inquire. The inquiries and the discussion only were of what he wanted and what was likley imposible for us to do. I remember him wanting this room to be constructed in a very modern fashion with the one large window facing the cities sky line.
      This, for what ever reason is where it ended.
      (But I never did get caught!)

      Famine relief

      Last night my lucid dreaming dry spell has ended
      To the Lucid dream Gods.
      March second. I believe was my last LD. That is a drought.


      I was ingaged in a regular dream. Meaning not lucid. But far from normal really.
      I was in my house. The floor level was what was waiste high in water. I was Kevin Costner in looks but me in my mind. I had a host of people in my house. As we were wading through this murky water I new there was a crocidile in the house. I kept telling the others to be still. I had a shotgun. I felt confindent that I was going to be able to locate & Kill this crocidile. As I tuned in to where it was, I closed in for the kill. Then one of the others started making a rucuss. The Croc leaped at me and the shotgun went of right towards my mouth. I sat there for a second in disbelief. I was still alive!!!. A shotgun blow to the head at point blank.................. This is where i became lucid. I was now aware I was in a dream.
      I was very estatic. For It has been so long since my last one.
      I stood up and I looked in the mirror. I was horrified at first. My head was blown three times the size it should be. From the gun blast I suppose. It almost snapped me out of lucidity. I gathered myself. Saying t is only a dream Jason, you fool. I took my head with both hands and shrunk it back to normalk size.
      I stood and took in the whole seen. Everything was maraculaously vivid and detailed. fabulous! I took a step and stepped on my dog ( a small dog) I felt bad because I hurt him. Again I had to remind myself IT IS A DREAM! I once agian regained my composure and to inforce some athority in my lucid dream. I took my dog and grabbed him with both hands, much like I did with my head. I squished him into a massless ball of energy. Telling myself-------> I am in control.
      I had seen some papers on the table afterwards and decided to read what they said. As I tried I woke up instantly.

      Stripped of surealism

      Last night I had another odd experiance. Pushing the envoploe of what is real and what is a dream to the limits.
      As I have been praticing the art of awareness and read several books that pertains to thatlatley. My lucid dreams have become reality. *Relaity in the sense that there is no dream like scenario about them.
      My experiance last night. (Although I was sick)
      I woke up (or so I thought) I had to go to the bathroom. I looked at the clock. It was 1:30 A.M. As I stood up I realized it was raining outside. I thought to myself Great!!. For it has been very dry and we could use the rain. I went to the window and watched it rain for about what seemed to be one minute. I shut the window. I went to the bathroom and then I went back into my room and went back to sleep.........It doesn't sound like a dream does it? Well This morning, not thinking that it was a dream I checked on my weather station to see how much rain we had recieved. It registered none. Odd, I thought. I looked outside. It was dry as a bone.
      I was then and still am confused. a lot of my lucid dreams play along with realism. But never have I not been able to distinguish one from the other. The only thing I had to prove to me I had a dream was fact. Nothing else. No clock dialtion, no sense of a dream. But the feeling of it consciously happening like a lucid or like a real life event was there.

      I guess I could have just had a DILD that ia was waking up. But it seems odd to me that I cannot extract any oddities out of the .....Dream?

      Maybe prayer does work.

      I was lying on my bed staring at the ceiling. I thought I was awake.
      I have been putting a lot of effort into some of the LD techniques latley with no results.
      So as I was lieing there I said, please, God I just want to lucid dream! It was not realy a prayer I guess but regardless when I looked back up at the cieling I found myself looking at the stars..WOOO! I am deaming right now. It snuck up on me. Kind of threw me of guard.
      It was very cool. I could visualize all sorts of patterns in the constelations. They were very vivid.
      I looked around and found myself at a customers house. She is attractive. I found she was hitting on me. I thought, I could do anything I want. Then came my conscience. I lost my lucidity!

      What a dork!

      How to explain??

      Well it has been awhile since I have posted in my journal in part because I have had very little activity.
      Recently I have had two lucid dreams that were rather unique. Although each dream was truamatic I would not traid either experiance.
      For both these dreams have enabled me to better understand several of the members posts & dreams that at the time I could not understand. Posts that I could not relate to by fellow members.


      I was in a castle like structure with very many columns. I really do not know what had triggered my awareness to become lucid. As I became lucid the entire dream scene was in red. I had a bad feeling. Carma if you will. I told myself it was a deam. As I walked around there was nobody there. Just a droaning in my ears. I felt as if it was hell. I could not sumond any dream characters. I was alone. I was OK until I told myself to wake up. This has never failed me. This time was differant. I could not wake up!. I have read many posts about people being afraid in their lucid dreams and wanting threm to stop. I now know what they meant. I was stuck there for what seemed like an eternity. Well A day or so actually. But that to me was damn scary.. I am searching for a meaning in this dream.

      The second dream was very odd. And to expalin in words will be difficult.
      To be a dream character that is lucid.?! Yes. I was lucid and aware. But I me or whom ever was in control of the DC I had embodied. All I could do is watch the dream unfold around me. Unfortunatly it was a nightmare.
      In short the dream consisted of my family being tortured. I told myself it is a dream. They are not getting hurt. Wich helped. But it still was not a pleasant scenario by any means. It came to me to tell me to wake up. I was apprehensive because of the last nights dream. However it worked to my suprise.
      I did a reality check and I was indeed awake. And flustered.

      Dear Howetzer,

      Yes, I’m glad you brought me in, since you have presented with some very interesting dreams. You DO have a Spiritual Sponsor, as was demonstrated by the ceiling vanishing and yourself suddenly being able to see the stars. That is a famous kind of Visionary Miracle that goes way back in the history of sainthood. Typically it occurs during Visitations of Our Lady – She likes the open air and will make the buildings disappear during her interviews. I myself was once presented with such a display. I was in the Astral Cave of Prayer, where I think Elijah presides, and where it is very dark except for all the candles. But there is little reflected light since the cave walls and ceiling have become dark with centuries of sot. Well, Elijah pointed upward and said “Behold, the Principalities of the Sky vie for your Soul”, and the Cave no longer had a roof but I could see the sky full of dragons engaged in aerial combat. In you own dream, there was a clarity and an opening to the stars. This supports the notion of Spiritual Initiation and Invitation. It was a good thing.

      Then we have the arrival of The Goddess, but your subjectivity put Her into some fairly severe limitations. She was a Customer – an ‘if’-fy status, since it could imply both the sense of service, or suggest the more negative connotation of exploitation. But, in either case, the focus soon became sexual.

      Again I am reminded of one of my earlier dreams, the first in which I was confronted with the Goddess Oracle Archetype. After having had presented to me earlier in the Dream some spiritual gifts passed on from a deceased Grandfather, She appeared halfway up a very steep mountain, that ascended in tiers. Suddenly I was there, She on one step above me. She told me “Remember, Only those at the bottom cannot go to the Top”. It was not explicitly said, but I understood that She was speaking of sexual obsession.

      Sexuality is the Veil which prevents us from connecting to the Goddess Oracle at any of the higher spiritual levels. Now, it is easy for Old Men to get by such a Veil, since our habits of Sexuality have somewhat relaxed. But for young men, it seems the last thing they would do is to look a woman in the eye and simply engage in conversation. Actually, you should try it. At a certain level it seems more intimate and affectionate than sex. There is handholding, laughter and even some degree of flirting, all while spiritual messages are being passed. The only restriction is that one should stay away from the ‘bottom’.

      Now, about the Red Castle. This is a Good News Bad News situation. The Good News is that this is a very spiritual Castle. This is a representation of your Spiritual Self – your potential. It declares your Knighthood. The Bad News is that you are on the lower floors. The Base Chakra, the Muladhara, is red. It’s a good Chakra to have open, since it supplies the heat, if not the light, which supplies energy which is transmuted to light by the higher chakras. But it is not a good place for one’s consciousness to reside. Notice that dream would not allow you to awake. This signals that you will not die until you have been able to transcend this Red Level. If the Dream reoccurs, and you should suggest to yourself that it should, then look for a Spiral Staircase. It should be centrally located at the back of the Castle. If you find two, then take the one that is Blue.

      Now for the grizzly dream about your Family being tortured. It is odd and people are puzzled that Suffering is so much appreciated in the Spiritual Realms. Did you see the film “Constantine” and do your remember the Angel Gabriel’s speech as he justifies the holocaust he would initiate… it goes something like this… “You (people) are so much like animals. Pleasure and reward have no lasting effect. But Pain… Pain is the language you best understand. Pain inspires you. I have watched you over the years. Only as your cities burn do you rush to save each other. Only when the threat of blood runs crimson in your streets and your families are threatened do you turn your faces to God. Only in the face of horror do you find your Nobler Selves. And you can be so Noble. So I will bring you Pain. I will bring you horror. So that those of you who survive this reign of Hell on Earth will be worthy of God’s Love.” Yes, on the theoretical side, Suffering is counted as penance. Suffering is counted as the Influence most likely to ripen the Soul for Spirituality. It is Suffering which is seen as being the Threshold to Spiritual Initiation. Suffering is the Accepted Sacrifice.

      This Dream of yours indicates that your Family, your Tree, has paid its dues and has been prepared. This Dream you were able to wake up from. The Pain does not have to continue. There is a famous exchange that Christ has had with numerous Saints in the Catholic Church, and so far everybody but myself has largely misunderstood it. You see, Christ, for the last 7 or 8 hundred years has been coming to Saints, perhaps starting with Saint Francis, and He has been asking them, “Do you desire my Suffering or do you desire my Glory”. So far every bonehead Saint has been a dutiful Catholic, remembering the Crucifixion, and they have answered “Your Suffering Lord”. But, My God, those idiots! Did they think what they were saying!? The Messiah came and all of the Prophecies had been for Glory. The Crucifixion represented the Victory of Worldliness, and the Triumph of Satan over what could have been, what should have been the Messianic Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. The World had chosen Suffering for its Messiah, instead of allowing Him Glory. And these Saints repeat the mistake over and over again. And what do they get? They are the Stigmatics. Christ says “Okay, but you too”. These Saints are then struck down with the Five Wounds of the Crucifixion which they must suffer the rest of their lives. And miraculously, they can neither eat or drink, not without vomiting, since Christ was not allowed to eat or drink the day of His Passion. And they go on for years, bleeding from wound which never become infected and while not being able to eat or drink. But, yes, they get the Suffering that they would wish upon the Messiah.

      But it doesn’t have to be like that. One need only concede to the Messiah His Glory. And what is that? One only needs to renounce the Pride of Lucifer. It is common for men to admire the Conquerors of the World, the Winners, those who have amassed great wealth and power. Those who have victimized Societies in order to make themselves great. They have challenged God. One give Glory to Christ – The Life of All Things (if one considers ‘Christ’ as a Spiritual Status instead of being a simple Person) – by seeing The Community of Life as the Primary Unit. The Self is renounced, or rather, the focus on the Self is renounced, and one’s Love and Concern are focused on The Community which would become The Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

      Don't always take a friends advice.

      As of late I have been fortunate enough to have many dreams that I have remembered and a couple of lucids to add to it.
      Last night was a slap in the face.

      My friend and I were driving down a road that seemed familiar. Although I do not know what road it was. As we were driving there was a car parked in the other lane, sideways. It said.. for sale. I said to Kevin. You can't do that. He replied, "that does seem pretty desperate". I felt odd. No way would they allow that. I mentioned to him that we may be dreaming. He thought otherwise. Then a cement mixer (the kind that has no driver) went tooling down the road. I got excited and said, YES we are dreaming. He agian did not think so. I said well lets do a reality check.
      He agreed, & we did one. Throughout the reality check Him or I could find anything abnormal. Everything at that point seemed real again. So for whatever reason I discounted those other two obvious dream signs.
      I did think it was interesting that I was attempting to become lucid with someone else simultaniously.
      I talked to him this morning. He had no account of any dreams.

      I'm back

      Last night I had a pretty unique experience.
      The dream was rather mundane but how it started was interesting.
      I was in my driveway. What I recall is that everything was an odd shade of green. an ugly green. Olive green maybe. Well this sparked my curiosity leading me to become lucid. Once I did realize this I floated over my domicile. (I have new neighbors who are changing the land scape dramatically. I have wanted to see what geographical changes they had made) So my interest in remote viewing came to mind. I floated over to see the neighbors property. I then began to loose my lucidity. I stared at my hands. No deal. I lost it.
      **I awoke and was a bit frustrated over the fact I lost lucidity. I got up and put some wood on the fire. I then went back to sleep.
      This was the cool part. I found myself in the exact location that I was upon my first lucid dream. I said to myself, well that was easy enough. It was almost like a WILD. Yet I was asleep. So I thought. Maybe it was. Either way I directly was lucid
      I attempted the same thing. This time I unfortunately realized how fast I could float/fly. I was whipping around at tremendous speeds. I lost site of my goal. The remote viewing. While I was flying I dipped too low and hit a branch. This woke me up.

      What a weak mind!
