Thread: Blacklight's SD Workbook

I really want to talk to Einstien and Jesus and stuff it would be awesome. DC somoning can be hard though. Who were some of the people you were tring to summon?

Mostly people I know, some fictional characters and one or two famous people.

I did not think that I would achieve success with my new goals so quickly. Today I had a long lucid which featured just about everything I set out to do - flying (though two DCs kept telling me I can't fly and I shouldn't try to jump of a building I did it, and it felt great), telekinesis (throwing people around), practicing other powers (I tried to make a fountain of blood but all I managed was to make the ground spit out a wave of milk and jelly) and fighting (though not intentionally - some DCs got upset when I caused the death of one of them and told them they shouldn't care for someone who isn't real anyways, then after a lengthy fight I took one's head off and threw it at the rest, yelling at them for being idiots).

1/24,25,26 - Few lucids unfortunately

The most recent dream is one non lucid where I am a tax auditor and move around by opening portals. This is the first time I ever did such a thing and now I did it with unseen ease.
The only lucid is one where a crow speaks to me in German. I try to answer but can't think of many words. It asks me why I can't answer properly in english and I answer that I do not have the access to all of the information in my brain at the moment but that it does. I ask it how it has such a good access to my memory and it says "It's simple. Rip out your head and shove it back down your neck."
That's what I did but I didn't get better memory. The dream then went to a sports gym (which was pretty vivid). I told myself that I remember that scene from somewhere and asked myself "Is this it? Did I get my memory?" then I had a look around and concluded that "Given that a day does not have 68 hours (and other dreamsigns) I'm pretty sure this is not a memory."
One of the stranger dreams (and a part of the lucid described above) in the past few days is where I see my mother. She washes the dishes (she told me once that she always dreams of this) and I tell her she doesn't have to bother because now she can dream of something else. We sit down and start talking but another one (my mom) enters the room and starts yelling at me for getting dirt in her juice because I don't wash my hands. I tell her I don't drink that juice and take a look outside the window. I see nothing but dense white fog and tell myself that this is actually what I wanted to accomplish.

There has been lots of heads being removed latly.

I know. I'm trying not to lose my head about it though. Not to get ahead of myself, but I don't think it'll happen again. (puns intended)

1/27,28 - Three lucids

First: One I'd rather not talk about. It was really, really vivid (which is good) but there was incest (which is really, really bad).

Second: Not even sure it's a proper lucid. I had my leg stuck in a grinding wheel in a shopping mall, and by the time I pulled my leg out there was a giant gaping hole in it. Some guy said "Preserve your joints. They are solid gold!". I was then shoved on a stretcher and shoved through an ambulance wagon, but only after a guy broke my leg several times and started to cut it to pieces after telling me it was needed for my health. I knew it was a dream (I think I did) and I grew robotic arms (like dr. Octopus guy from Spiderman) and started to crush things.

Third: A long videogame related dream. I'm not sure how but I found plastic explosive cemented in a wall of a building. I wanted to blow a house up. I set up 3 detonators just to be safe but 2 stopped working. After activating the third I jumped out of a window and watched the fireworks. I then tried to make it brighter (it was night) but couldn't. I watched the sky for a while and got sort of sucked in.

Also I noticed (or knew already but decided to post now, I'm not sure) that dreams which you have early during the night are much more chaotic and difficult to control. More nightmares too.

1/29 - One non lucid

I was playing Super Mario, where Mario after taking 3 powerups became fat, then after another one turned into Luigi. Luigi then flew across the map on a crown given to him by the Norse god Thor.

1/30 - Three lucids

First: I remember being in the apartment when I got lucid. I jumped off the balcony and dived through the ground thinking I want to see another DC. When I got through the ground I found myself in the Earth's orbit with a single blue dot marking the location of the DC. I got down there pretty fast and the DC was waiting for me in a room which looked a lot like mine. I asked "Is this how your room really looks or is it the only way my mind can visualize it?". I got no answer and then the DC tried to teach me how to play a guitar properly.

Second: I was looking at a list of obscure writers and was trying to compare their dates of birth to the official dates of birth in a book. I don't know why I wasted lucidity on this.

Third: I was being late for an appointment and some woman started to yell at me for being late even though she was late herself. I got lucid, got out of the building and flew around a little, mostly behind a bus.

1/31 - One lucid

I was wandering through a town when I saw an elementary school that looked like mine. I expected a woman around the corner and, well, you can guess the rest.

2/1 - Two lucids

First: I was on a trip to some metropolis. I was near a beach of a river. The beach was orderly and decorated but from where I was to get to the beach you had to go down a steep surface. I did so and took a walk along the beach when one guy I know invited me to a shop. I went there, the guy bought what he wanted and I was stuck waiting behind an old beardy guy. He asked for "kosher paper". I wondered what the hell is going on and he took out a hammer and started to demand everyone's money. I told him he can fuck off so he started to hit me. I took the hammer and started to hit him while he tried to run away. Two security guards then got him but I kept hitting the guy. They told me to stop but I told them they can go fuck off too. I stopped when they looked like they were about to get me too. I then got lucid and took a walk around. A fat security guy who apparently went into hiding during the crisis wanted to talk to me looking miserable, so I told him to "Get away from me". In the background I saw another officer which I saw on TV. I thought it was a nice touch to the dream.

Second: I was peeing in a bush while listening to narration about how some poor actor discovered music. I was over with peeing but still had to go, and two guys and a girl showed up. One of the guys told me he just peed in my house. I asked him how was it possible that I peed for a minute but still had to go. I then told him it was only possible if I was actually dreaming. The girl then said "I like to eat people" or something like that. I asked her why and she started to get angry and walk towards me. I told her I don't want to know but she still kept going. I decided to let her do what she wanted. "It's my dream, I can feel no pain" I thought.
Everything went white and I found myself back at the beginning. She was trying to get me again but this time I put up a fight first, then let her.
Another false awakening (both false awakenings were of course figured out immediately by a nose pinch) and I was back at the beginning. By then I've had enough so I fought her. I tackled her to the ground and held her face to the floor. Her head simply turned around (which freaked me out) and her hands did as well. It then turned into a worm with teeth everywhere which I ripped out of her body (more head removing yay). Her body and the worm then started to attack me separately. Then I had enough of it and woke up.

2/2,3 - Two lucids

First: I was walking with some of my family. Grandma spat on the floor and I thought she was acting like a Bulgarian (I have no idea why). She told me something so I told her "That's nice. But I can walk through walls!"
They looked at me like I was a madman so I pushed my hands through the wall. "See?" I asked them. I then went through and found myself in the body of a Roman Emperor (from that movie Gladiator - Commodus, was it?) trying to escape his palace. I just walked through the nearest wall but ended up waking up.

Second: I only remember being at a computer and then stopping whatever I was doing to do something else.

2/4 - One lucid

I entered a huge circus hall. A narrative voice said "And here we have an immigrant from Greece arrived at age of 6 as an orphan" and saw a woman come out. You know the rest.

2/5 - Several lucids - unfortunately I forgot most of them. I only remember two

First: I had a false awakening (probably after a lucid, just can't remember a thing) and the dream was blurry. I decided to experiment with verbal commands again. I shouted "Stabilize!" and the dream got so vivid that I literally fell down and woke up soon after. You know how if you focus too much on a single detail in a dream, like a picture, it gets outrageously detailed? Now think like that, but for the entire dream you can see.

Second: This is a dream come true. It has long been my objective to do what I had done. A very, very long time, and thankfully I was able to stop trying to summon people for long enough to do it. I was jumping from rooftop to rooftop, building to building and flying around like a maniac. Despite the dream looking like a warzone (with one exception probably - there was a huge nice looking church in the center), it was the most refreshing thing to happen in weeks.

2/6 - Many non lucids - I suppose there's one that is partially lucid

I was dreaming that I was in front of my family and I did something rather nasty to a girl. I then had a false awakening and they were telling me what I did in my dream so I told them the only explanation for them knowing what I was dreaming was that I was dreaming that too. But I didn't do anything important and just followed the plot of the dream.

There were more dreams where I was in a video game and one where I was leading a whole nation out of slavery (sort of like Moses) but in the modern age. I was betrayed later. It felt pretty bad.

2/7 - One non lucid plus two fragments

It was.. I'm not really sure what it was. I know it was Max Payne (video game character) hunting bad guys, but the way he did it made no sense. And, of course, there were heads being taken off.

And as for the fragments, one is me trying to WILD but someone is distracting me. I almost did it (WILDing seems to be so much easier when you're already in a dream) and another one where I'm in a bathroom and an entire family is drowned in a bathtub. I'm horrified by this and when I take a closer look they all come to life.

2/8 - One of the strangest nights of my life. No less then 6 lucids! (some non lucids too, which makes for about 8 dreams tonight) 3 of those were vivid but I had no control and 3 were mostly foggy but I had control. Also the first 3 didn't exactly feel like they were my dreams. I felt like a stranger in them, though in the other 3 I felt like home.

First: I was walking with my family in a building, going upstairs. I noticed there were no more stairs past one point. I wondered how this was possible and then figured out I must be dreaming. This was strange to me because the dream was really, really vivid. I got out and tried the regular superpowers I use (jumping around etc.) but I couldn't do anything at all. I tried to jump from a high point to start flying but only ended up on the floor, tried to summon a knife or anything but that didn't work either. Also the DCs I encountered were afraid of me. Guess they started to learn their lessons.

Second: I was in a classroom. I think it was basically a gathering of everyone I tried to summon in the last few months. I went out and got to a football field located on a cliff. I made the DCs jump down and kill themselves but when I got down too nobody was there.

Third: It was a brief lucid after a false awakening. Noise woke me up soon.
which brings us to the second set of lucids

Fourth: I got up and had a look at the time (usual practice to figure out false awakenings) and found out I was dreaming I tried to go through a wall to get to the moon or open a portal or something but only ended up back in the room. I went out and quickly had another false awakening.

Fifth: I got up again and had a look through the window. I wondered what was it that I set out to do and then figured out I was supposed to get to my dream guide some time soon. I made a train wreck my house and two guys (who were also named House) got out. One was grumpy and had a cane and the other looked pretty content. The first one asked if I had any water around and the second one said "You probably shouldn't give him what he wants." After that things got pretty messy and dark so I made things brighter and stabilized the dream, but it didn't last much more and I had another false awakening.

Sixth: I felt incredibly tired and everything felt real as this moment right now. I told myself I'd do a reality check just to be sure, and what do you know it turns out I'm dreaming. Given how vivid it felt I thought I'd go have great fun in this one but I woke up again.
which brings us to the non lucid part of the night

Seventh: I was with my mother and she was serving lunch. There wasn't much to eat. Also some false awakenings and repetitions of this theme.

Eighth: I was in an old shop. News reached me that something bad is going on so I grabbed a squirrel, jumped into a silver convertible car and I started to drive like a madman. A monkey then jumped on the car while I was driving and took my squirrel. The car got flipped but I just got on top of the car and somehow kept driving it upside down. I reached a town where I drove into a shop and bought a sandwich. From there I got out and suddenly I was driving a bike. I drove past a few people i knew, greeting them while I was driving. I then got back to the shop (actually crashed in it) when I heard it was being robbed. Some cop was raging around there and abusing some asians. Then I woke up.

six lucids!!! WOW... will catch up later!

That night was pretty much a record breaker. I even managed to remember another non lucid, bringing the total dream count of the night to 9!
2/9 - Despite sleeping for only 2 and a half hours I still managed to dream something (despite how ridiculous it is)

I was at elections where the president was. I was trying to argue with him but every time I tried to say something he or the crowd would cut me off with either a start of a speech or cheering of some sort. It then switched to picking abilities to "leave this haunted world", which makes no sense at all.

2/10 - One lucid?

I don't even know if this one should count properly given that I only managed to form the dream around me (DEILD/WILD) before the alarm clock cut my dream short.
I've also experimented with isochronic tunes again. I almost got to form a dream scene but every time I started to see it actualize my mind just kind of jumped and it was lost. The more I got into it before the break the more powerful the jump was.

2/11 - One non lucid

I was playing a computer game. I remember that it was originally a FPS but now it was in a mine somewhere. The players had to defend the mine from a swarm of hostile creatures.

2/12 - Three lucids

First: I was walking along when I saw UFOs in the sky. I got lucid and decided to greet them like they were my children, and what do you know, one lands in my hands and folds in there nicely. I lost lucidity then and switched to observer mode. I saw a group of people who painted themselves green talk to the alien lord. He said "We'll make you green like us!" and they answered "But my lord, you are forgetting that we are green already.", and then the aliens invaded the Simpsons.

Note: In this one I tried to summon my DG, but every time I do that I get different results
Second: The dream started in a really messy room. I called out for a dream guide and a witch (black robes, pointy hat) came in. I tried to greet her but started to stumble around. She picked me up and said "It's okay." I asked her who she was and she said "I'm here to teach you the art of transformation.", and that's about all that I remember from being lucid there.

Third: A guy told me to follow him. He told me he'd teach me to copy things. He said "If you know a single thread, you know everything." and then he gave me a paper detailing some forces influencing the atoms and some other confusing things. I really don't know why I played along.

Hey! Don't try and steel my dream guide. It seems she had the same destabilizing effect on you too though.

Yeah I got pretty much swept off my feet.
2/13 - One non lucid
There was a show about some woman being raped by a bunch of people. It then switched to inviting you to do a pilgrimage to her house or donate 10$

2/14 - This is an odd situation. I don't remember anything at all. I know I remembered a dream (or at least a part of one) but I forgot everything during the day. Maybe it will come back on its own soon enough.

2/15 - One non lucid

I wrote on a wall that I feel cold because I have no place to be in during the winter.
