Thread: Blacklight's SD Workbook

Since I've been somewhat sloppy with my DJ management I'll post the dreams from the last few days that I can still remember right here and then a new post per day from here on.

9/12 - LD - Found myself in an apartment. Briefly surveyed the surroundings and decided to teleport to a place I've considered my dream goal (Tried to do a shared dream of my own without the other person's consent or knowledge) for the past week. I closed my eyes and the minute I started to see the scenery change someone slams the door I was standing in front of right into my face. Some small kid screaming the standard DC rubbish - "if you leave now we won't be able to sue you for misdemeanor" or something, so I decided to go Rambo style, leaped out of the building. I already saw the target building emerge from the background, but the closer I got the tougher walking, jumping and climbing got, (like I was going through mud) and the obstacles became higher and higher. Then I realized I was only wearing my underwear so I got myself clothed. Also some crazy cat attacked me. I bashed her shit right into the sidewalk and climbed over a 3 meter high wall. Just as I approached the "rendezvous point" I designated the dream began to fade and I woke up frustrated.

9/13 - LD - Found myself in front of a house and decided to try dream spinning as a method of transport. After a dozen failures using this method up to date, I tried again. Started spinning wildly, then got lifted into the air (coolest thing ever) and landed right where I wanted. The dream, again, began to fade quickly and everything went from extra HD crystal clear to nothing as my eyes were closed against my will. I put all my strength into opening them but just ended up opening my real eyes, again waking up feeling frustrated.

9/14 - LD - The Bus of Doom entry in my DJ (Link)

9/15 - As this one was rather nasty to even think about (think bloody murder plus sex plus murder) I'd rather not share it with anyone. It was like a LD where I was on horse viagra plus magic mushrooms.
There's also a non-lucid where I play the piano (rather splendidly I might add) in a gym, and when I finish nobody seems to be impressed.. at all (I get the formal applause from some 5 people and that's it).

9/16 - Another rather nasty LD, so let's skip to the non-LD part of the night. I was at home and went looking for something/one outside. Didn't find the objective but went for a walk anyways. Saw a car get out of the driveway of some house with two other persons escorting it to the road. Two females, one of which I knew, the other must have been her mother or something. I even recall the license plate - everything was clear as it gets. Anyways, I carried on down the street, meeting a friend of mine, so we went to a shop where we sat down and he tried to persuade me to skip school, using somewhat rational arguments instead of "the mountains are descending upon the deer king" rubbish DCs usually use.

9/17 - 3 or more dreams, none lucid.

First: something about me playing some FPS game (by being IN the FPS game) with a group of guys, spreading mayhem left and right. Then I found myself ON the map, sitting on the PC and playing the game - inside the game, then getting up and leaving the scene with my PC in hand.

Second: I was on a balcony some 20 meters from the ground, and there was a war outside. No idea how but somehow I knew the guys on the left were the bad guys so I sniped the shit out of them. After that some woman came to me and said I had murdered her husband. I graciously explained to her that she and her newborn don't interest me. At all. So she had some guy throw a grenade (shaped like a bottle), which didn't explode but instead leaked tomato sauce and other things all over the floor. I got off a few more headshots and that's about it.

Third: I was in a room full of computers, took a seat and some anime was on the screen. I shut it down but another came up. Then I shut that one down too and some weird old people porn started playing. I promptly got up and started to leave the scene when 2 more people (I knew) started to follow me, telling me something I don't quite remember.


So, how's my recall coming along?

good job on the consistent lucidity!

9/18 - 2 more, none lucid. All school themed. I'll keep the descriptions short since I'm not sure I need more details nor would they help you to "see" the dream.

First: I was at college and got in a class where I didn't know almost anyone. My hair was wet and some of it was falling off. People noticed. Awkwardness ensued. The teacher was someone I've never seen in my life and the classroom looked like it just got through a world war.

Second: High school. I was near some oil refining facility and it was time to go back home. Me and another guy were the only ones to go, and I did so after trying to play the piano and a guitar, so I boarded the bus which then became a train and started driving in the opposite direction. The other guy fell out but the train waited for him.

9/19 - LD and several other dreams, which are irrelevant and nonsensical

I was like an observer in this dream. I was watching Chuck Norris diving underwater, cleaning up an old Greek temple. A small, circular one with several pillars to hold it up. He did a fairly quick job and suddenly I found myself being him and going to the surface, since my oxygen ran out. Upon getting out someone was already waiting for me. When I informed him that my work was complete, he tried to kill me. Then I was an observer again and Norris beat that guy up so bad he was killed and then he attended his funeral.
This is where I permanently stay as an active part of the dream.
I go to some river with someone else. It was horribly polluted and there were old used things everywhere. However, I managed to loot a fairly awesome chair and the stumble upon several coins.
Shit! I instantly thought. The only place in which I find large collections of anything valuable is a dream. I did the watch RC some five times to confirm my misfortune, and yes, I was dreaming.
The first thing I did was to inform a fellow looter "None of this is real, I'm leaving" and then left for a nearby shopping mall. I asked a worker there "Where's the TV?" and she pointed toward a room in the back.
Now you may wonder why I did such a thing. Someone told me that watching a TV was a good way to see your memories/dreams etc.
So I got to the TV and said "Show me something."
The TV asked me "What do you think of (some game)"
I said "It's the best game in the world", and then it said "Now now, don't underestimate it", so I said "If all the best games of a million parallel universes came here this one would best them all".
Then we were interrupted by two other persons and by the time I made them go away the TV was no longer a TV nor was it of any use.

EDIT: Also I remember walking in a circle flailing my arms yelling at the dream to "give me something palpable"
Slightly disappointing.

9/20 - One hell of a long dream
I stuffed myself well and went to sleep expecting nothing special, but something else waited.

It was the longest dream I've ever had. I think that I remembered the full REM cycle. Since it's obscenely long I'll just post short descriptions of "scenes"
Scene one: Me and several others walking through a snow filled valley
Scene two: Me leaving the valley axe in hand and chopping up various zombies
Scene three: Third person action game with me killing tons of monsters all around
Scene four: Me chasing some kids to some paranoid guy's home
Scene five: Me and some paranoid guy play a racing game on some console
Scene six: Wounded guy and two others on their way to prison. Talk about ways of getting out.
Scene seven: A guy (which oddly looked like my home... a message?) eagerly anticipating his opportunity to leave

9/21 - One dream, non lucid

It started in a big, empty hall. Some people I knew showed up later. Then they (don't know who) started calling out random numbers. Somehow I knew mine without them telling me. 13. They called me out and I left the room, through a hallway that looked like it just got through an artillery strike and to something that looked like a basement, but wasn't underground. I waited there for something/one in front of a door, but nothing happened and I woke up.

9/21 - The Hall of Mirrors entry from my DJ - link here.

9/22 - an LD where I do things gross beyond measure and description and two more non lucid dreams.

In the first one I urinated furiously, waking up doing it for real and the second one was where I walked along a railway (which is next to a forest) with some company.

9/23 - Didn't get much sleep and got interrupted several times. Only remember attempting to sprint but being slower then a bloody snail, despite increasing efforts every two seconds.

9/24 - Well, this is awkward. Haven't been feeling well and had even less sleep and even more interruptions. I know I did dream but don't remember what. Disappointing.

9/25 - One LD and a much, much more interesting non lucid dream.

There was this storage facility, full of soldiers, mechas and tanks. Some terminator-style robots came in and started to bash and sabotage them, but then Darth Vader came in and tore them apart (literally).
He then opened some strange-ish space portal some 50m away (circular in shape, the border of it was thick and metal) and started to run in circles inside the cover (like a hamster with its wheel but the wheel didn't move, he did). I was at some laser turret and destroyed the portal. I did have many other dreams (including ones where I'm in space and one where I'm beating people up with guns that don't work).

9/26 - No less then three lucid dreams and several non lucids. Though because of my somewhat traumatic method of waking up (alarm clock really far away from the bed, gotta run to shut it down fast)

First: Don't remember much. Tried to make a room with some people by falling through the ground to it but only ended up in the sewers.
Then I was at that apartment again, it was dark so the mirror thing was no longer a threat and I dived through it. Landed on the floor and had a false awakening (which I didn't recognize).

Second: At a farm in a village. A minotaur attacks me. I keep saying "the minotaur is a balloon" some 20 times while he chases me and I get him to a spiked fence and he ruptures and gets removed from the scene.
A lion attacks me next. I jump over the spiked fence and try to do the same to him but it doesn't work. While I looked away he turned into a she-lion (lioness?), and then into one with three heads. I thought "it can't do anything to me" and petted it. It didn't mind. I whispered to it "take me to" someplace, and it started running furiously in one direction. I followed but the dream faded soon.

Second: I was at some football game. Got out and some DC started to talk to me about Windows 8. Lucidity kicks in. Another one starts talking about Borat, I leave and enter a small store. I take lots of stuff and she says "now you leave", I say "I sure do" and get out. I take my candy and start stuffing myself (it was incredibly good). Another DC asks for some, I give him a lolipop. He says "it's good. everything free is good" and I say "it sure is". I woke up and got myself into the same dream again somehow, but I was greeted by a login screen. I wrote my stuff in and it said "Thank you for logging in Baron Wolfstein" or something. And then I woke up for good.

9/27 - one LD

I was going home (or somewhere) from a skiing tournament. I was constantly going downhill and had trouble stopping since I was tied to some metal container as well. When I got there I got lucid and summoned a whole swarm of girls. The rest is obvious. Then I had a false awakening. I decided to check if it is a f.a. so I went to the bathroom. Mirror freaked me out, again, and I fell down. Tried to stabilize the dream but wake up for real this time.

9/28 - Many non lucids

The best one is the one where I find a ship so huge that an entire city was fit into it. The narration implied that it was built in Germany and people flocked to it hoping to get away from "the war". Also it took 3 months to get it out on the sea.
And then there's one where I fight Godzilla. I (and some others?) knock it down but the thing never dies. Won't get into details.

9/29 - Two lucids

Both involve me being in an FPS and finding out I'm dreaming because they look too real, have some anomalous elements or I'm just doing too well.

9/30 - Nothing much. More FPS shooters and a dream where I write using a black ballpoint pen I haven't seen in ages.

10/1 - One LD

I'll skip to a scene where obscenities and half-faded memories stop. I was walking out of a house to see the sky. It was pitch black, except for one star. Then I looked further and there were cartoonishly drawn crimson clouds with the head of Marylin Monroe in the middle. As awed as I was, I was interrupted. I was attacked by some birds (swans? seriously?). After a couple of attacks I captured one, ripped its head off and started beating others to death. That didn't work so I just said "leave and go back to where you came from". They obeyed but came back again. So I changed methods after a couple of times.
I looked up to miss Monroe, closed my eyes and summoned a thousand hawks to obliterate those pesky birds (with open eyes I only got one to come). The swans retreated to a ruined house, which I entered. Then I saw two things: There were gray-black swans and white ones. Obviously a good-evil combination. Some military guy in a black uniform took out his gun and called on the radio to his HQ "I'm being attacked" or some other gibberish. I broke his neck and then kept beating up his comrades. At this point I lost lucidity and the dream was a third person game.

Also one DC told me earlier in the dream to "use only one sense at a time" (sight or taste etc.) and I asked him "wouldn't all 5 be better?", he rolled his eyes and I left.

10/2 - Non-lucid

It was an awkward combination of forum browsing, playing a strategy game, watching screenshots, watching videos and an exploration themed game.
In the last one I was supposed to poison someone (which turned out to be my father I think) for someone who allegedly makes strategy games with a fist full of copper coins. It wasn't really difficult.

10/3 - Didn't get much sleep (again) and only remembered some random images before sleep/during waking up. Most involved games, no surprises there.

10/4 - A dream by the river involving some old woman stabbing people with office writing supplies.

10/5 - Me looking at a periodic table of elements seeing an element called "Ukrainium" (Uk) and The false Apocalypse entry from my DJ.

10/6 - Plenty of sleep, including two lucids

First: I was wandering around a giant office. Tried to summon someone but failed repeatedly. After I saw someone hidden under the bed sheets (I was convinced it was her), I pulled them away but nothing was there. Not dissuaded, I tried again, and she was there again. I tried poking around to see if anyone is there, and sure enough a human was there. I tried pulling the sheets slowly to reveal the head, but nothing.
Good news is I saw her walk by me in a non-lucid the same night (it was situated in a hospital and I saw her walk by with some friends of hers).

Second: I was sitting, covered by a red blanket (on an incredibly beautiful sunny day) watching some people (among which was my father) sitting outside a coffee shop. The coffee shop was painted red and so were the parasols. I sat still, just trying to make everything more real again. Unfortunately my alarm clock woke me up.

10/7 - A whole Star Trek episode involving passengers from another time/space/parallel universe and me looking furiously for porn.

Dream goals were here

10/8 - A lengthy non-lucid interrupted by a brief lucid period when I use telekinesis to move some farming equipment (which was about the size of a car) ending abruptly in a false awakening which I didn't recognize.
