I commented on your dream about me in our DV member dream-journal. If anyone is psychic, it's you.
I wish I had your recall.
I wish my family owned an elephant. That's even better than seeing it in the wild because you can play with him everyday!
*pictures herself riding down the street on the back of an elephant* :dreaming:
Thanks, Moonbeam.
Strangly I did not recall any dreams from last night.
I think it would be cool to be psychic...:rolleyes:.
Yeah...I was envious of my friend's family that owned the elephants.
I have a picture somewhere of me riding an elephant in Sri Lanka...but I don't know where it got put. I had taken some of my favorite pictures out of my photo album to use for something and they never got put back.....:(.
Wow...I just had a long lucid dream in which I did the Task of the Month again, plus several old ones.
I had awakened at 5:00 I laid in bed about 20 minutes. Then I got on DV for about 45 minutes (looked at old Task of the month) and then went back to bed. I laid there for a little bit wondering if I would go back to sleep. As I felt myself started getting really tired, I made myself open my eyes and glance at the time--6:32.
The first part of the dream that I remember is being with my two little neices. They had had a birthday party, and things were still decorated. I was talking to one of the neices (K) and she was telling me about how the party theme was Pirates and how fun it had been.
I then remember picking her up and jumpin with her, and at the top throwing her up a bit and catching her, then both of us would land on the floor. She loved it and I remember noticing how I could keep doing this and not get tired (Missed the dream sign this first time).
Then I set her down and started doing back flips. I remember being amazed that I was doing such good backflips and I wasn't even on a trampoline. Then I started doing front flips and I noticed how good they made me feel to do them
Then it hit me. This was a dream-- I loved doing dream flips because they make me feel so good.
As soon as I realised that I was dreaming I decided I wanted to do the DV Member Task again to see if I could get more DV members to show up.
This first transistion is a bit fuzzy. I think I started looking through the house for DV members. I didn't find any. I then decided to head out into the backyard so I could try the "Pet" task from last month that I had never gotten a chance to try.
I walked through the back room next to a sick looking Vietnamese guy huddled in a yellow blanket. I opened the door and went into the yard. It was my yard form my LA house.
I saw both my current dog and cat there. I started with my dog. "Hey boy, what do you think of me, huh? I need you to talk to me. DO you like me? Tell me what you think." But he kept sniffing at something in the grass and wouldn't even acknowlege my presence.
I looked and now saw my cat just a few feet away. I asked her the same questions. But like my dog, she seemed more interested in something in the grass than in answering my questions. So I thought about trying another Task before I woke up.
The Fire Task. I had to do the fire task. I looked around for a fire. There wasn't a fire in my yard. But as I looked over the fence toward my neighbors' yard, I could see smoke and I knew that there was a fire there.
I flew up and over the fence into my neighbors' yard. I landed on the grass. The yard looked just like I remember the Franko's yard to look. They had been the neighbors that I grew up by. I walked under their big tree. I could see the Frankos on the patio. I told them I needed to borrow their fire for a moment.
As I got to the far side of the yard I could see a small campfire. It wasn't very big, and I didn't know if it would actually count as walking "through" fire. but I was just doing this for fun anyway since it was now a new month with a new task.
I looked down at the fire and took small step and and walked over the fire. Since it was only about 2 feet across, I could only step twice--once with each foot.
I had wondered if the fire would feel hot...or if it would just seem like I was walking on normal ground. Well, as soon as I put my bare foot on the coals, I relalised that this was going to be harder than I thought because the coals were actually very hot and burning the bottom of my foot.
Still, I walked though. Even though it hurt, it seemed a bit anticlimatic. So I turned around and did it again. It still hurt. I decided that I would keep trying until I could control it and make it so it didn't feel hot to me anymore. On about the fifth time through the fire, I felt that I had achieved that.
I started walking across the yard back toward my own yard again. Suddenly the neighbors dog ran up to me not looking very friendly [the real Frankos had a dog that scared me as a child]. I decided that it was time to fly.
I remember wondering what the Frankos must be thinking of my strange visit to their backyard, but then remembered that they were my dream characters and weren't actually thinking anything.
In my own backyard I saw two large white and brown dogs. I chased them out the side gate.
I was still not satisfied with my attempt to find DV members so I tried again. I walked around (somewhere near the yard I think) calling out for DV members. I saw this group of people. I asked again if there were any DV memberd present.
Finally this teenage guy walks toward me from the crowd with his arm up. He said, "I'm a DV member.
I said, "Great, what's your username?"
He answered, "T-Arizona"
I said, "Cool, I think I'll remember that one."
Then two more guys walked out. One of the boys had two heads, one looked normal, the other had no neck. He told me his username. It was something cool sounding with two words and started with an "S".
Then the third boy told me his name...which I have also forgotten by now.
After that I decided to go look some more. I really wanted to find DV members that I knew. I walked inside a building and decided to call out for certain members. I decided to start with Oneironaut.
So I walked through this crowded building calling out for Onieronaut. Several times I could see black guys that from a distance looked like the right guy. But each time as I got close I could see that I had the wrong guy.
I finally decided to try another name. This time I called out for CoLd BlooDed. I walked through what now looked like a school building. I called and called, but still got no matches. I even tried CB's real name to see if that made a difference. But it didn't.
I finally ended up in a hallway by the doors to the outside. There was a group of students there waiting for the bell to ring and for school to get out. There was some teacher by the doors reminding the students to wear their bicycle helmets. The students all repeated a chant about helmets.
Finally the doors opened. At this point I decided that I wasn't having any luck with finding DV members, so I decided to try another of the older Tasks that I had never gotten done. I decided to do the "Snowman" Task.
As luck would have it, I walked out of the school and into a snow covered park. There were at least five snowmen in the park. At this point I was also suddenly with my childhood best friend M. I looked at the snowmen and wondered how hard it would be to bring them to life. I decided just to look at them with the expectation that they would just start moving. And sure enough, the one closest to me started twitching. Then it turned so it was facing me, and then started moving toward me. It was smiling, and I felt no fear that it would suddenly become evil and attack me.
I looked around and saw at least four other snowmen now moving in my direction. When the closest one got to me, I decided that I wanted to go flying with it. I told it to turn around so I could climb on its back.
After I was on its back I told it to fly. As we took off in the air, I remembered my friend that I had left behind. I knew she was only a DC, but I just felt the need to be polite, so I called back to her to get on the next snowman and to follow me.
At first I felt cold being on the snowman and flying through a winter sky. But I remembered how I had been successful in changing the temperature in past LDs. I told myself that I would no longer feel the cold since it was just my good imagination making it cold in the first place.
Gradually the snowman started feeling warm beneath me, and the air became just cool and not cold. It was perfect.
Then suddenly it was night. We were flying low and past buildings that were all covered with Christmas lights. I remember a building that looked like a City Hall that was just beautiful. We flew so close I could almost touch the lights.
There is a transition here that I don't remember.
But the next thing I remember is that I am back in a building looking for DV members. I believe it was an arcade. I could see out the window that it was still dark outside and I could see Christmas lights.
There were no DV members in the arcade, so I walked into the next room. There was a long skinny swimming pool there, the kind that makes a current that people can just stay in the same spot and swim against it..
I looked down in the pool to see if anyone I recognised that there. But I saw this man--he was bald and scarred and was very white. It disturbed me, and I suddenly felt myself start to wake up. Instead of fighting against that and staying in my dream, I suddenly realised that I had dreamed such a long LD that it would actually be a really good idea to wake up at this point and see if I could remember all of it.
So I let myself wake up.
Wow, that's incredible. I'm sorry for being so elusive, but I guess it's in the nature of my dream self. I mean, he DID just escape a terrorist bombing at his school. :p
But great job... that's an insanely long LD. Did it take you a long time to piece everything together or was it there as soon as you woke up?
Yeah, I haven't had a lot of luck with you showing up in dreams lately. Oneironaut didn't show either.:(
But I did get the deformed two headed DV member....:D
BUt yeah, a guess a terrorist attack might slow you down.
Thanks.Quote:

Well, I did what I usually do when I wake up from a dream like this. I laid in bed without opening my eyes for a couple of minutes. I backtrack the dream some and try to find a starting point.
Then I grab a paper and pencil and I start writing things down. I leave gaps and fill then in as I remember. I squeeze in more details as they come. But it is still in note format.
For example --from my notes:
"With neices, bouncing K, Bday party, Pirates.
Doing backflips, frontflips. Dreaming!
Look for Dv Member, crowds, guy in blanket.
LA backyard, saw dog cat, didn't talk."
And that is ususally enough for me to write. Then I rush to the computer if I have time and then I write it out in full sentences with all the detail that I can remember.
There may be thing I leave out. But I feel that I get pretty close.
WOW. What an awesome dream. ..Flying on a snowman. That's so surreal and original..must have been amazing to experience! Nice going, TS, even though you couldn't get us to show up.
Now that is freaky. TS just told me about her LD, in a pm, and asked "Where were you?!"
I told her that I was being framed for mass murder, at a school, in my dream last night, and that I'd be posting it soon (which I will). Then I read her dream, and your reply, and...wow. Haha. Hell of a coincidence. :shock:
Wow, that is weird.
Looks like we're connected, O... you can't get rid of me now.
Muahahahaha.
Great dream, TS. You were really on the ball in that one. Now I'm jealous.
Thank you-- that was an amzing experience. I loved the night flight past all the christmas lights. Very cool. I want to do that again in an LD. In fact I want to have another LD just like that one--full of adventure and Tasks. I'll keep trying for that.
And that is interesting about yours and CB's dreams and the way you shared them with me.
Good, I hope this means next time you both show up!
(And I don't care if you come as conjointed twins. Maybe the next two headed DV member in my dreams will be you guys....:D)
Thanks GH. That could very well be my longest and most eventful LD ever. I think being so determined to do tasks kept me in the dream longer.
Dream:
Impending disaster.
I'm at a store buying cases of water.
Something bad and really awful is coming.
damn your LD's are phenomenal. i wonder why i can't get lucid:(
ooo I've had a really similar dream to the fire task one before! :)
I agree with Ranma about your LDs being phenomenal! I was captivated by the entire thing! I'm envious of your LD skills...
Well thanks, Ranma!! :content:
I'm sorry you haven't been able to get lucid much lately. I had a pretty long dry spell too, so I know how tough it is to just wait and wait and wonder if you are ever going to get lucid again. But I think if you just stick it out, you'll be having good LDs again.
Cool, did you post it where we can read it?
And thank you Meg! Having the Tasks to do is very motivational. My longest LDs are mostly the ones in which I am trying to do the Tasks. It's like I don't want to stop until I get them all done.
Dream(s):
I had a bunch of dreams, but they all kind of blend together.
There was something about Calico Ghost Town. And I was talking to this man who worked there. Something complicated was going on.
The part I remember best was either at the end of this dream or the end of another dream--but it was what I was dreaming of when I woke up this morning.
I was at the ocean in the shallow water by the beach. I suddenly remember being dragged out into the ocean by the current.
I remember telling myself not to panic. That it was probably a rip current. I would just start swimming parallell to the shore, that way I might have a chance of getting out of the current and not be swept so far out that I would have trouble getting back.
Then suddenly I looked out in to the ocean and saw this huge wave forming. I could see that it was an enourmous tidal wave. It had to be a couple hundred feet high.
I then realised why I was being swept out into the ocean. There was nothing I could do now. I could see the huge wave getting closer ...and also getting closer to breaking. I knew I would die if the wave broke and crashed on me. My only hope was swimming quickly toward the wave and trying to swim through it to the back side.
I finally go the the base and swam into it. I came out to what I thought would be the other side. Instead I could see that I was in this hollow place inside the wave. It made sense to me in the dream what this was ...kind of an "eye of the storm" concept.
I just hoped that it would stay hollow and remain a safe place for me to stay until this was all over.
i hate it when dreams blend together! the wave sounds really scary!
Quote:
the wave sounds really scary!
It kind of was. There was this overall feel of disaster--which is never pleasant. Plus the helpless feeling of being swept back into the ocean and seeing this wave about to crash on me...no, not really fun. I used to have giant wave dreams all the time as a kid when I lived close to the ocean, but this was the hugest wave I've ever dreamed about.
Dream 1:
I had moved into this house. I remember finding out that a ghost lived in this house. The ghost was a lady ahd she wore a dress and glowed gold. I don't remember much of this dream exept that I remember feeling frightened at one point and going into my older sister's room to spend the rest of the night there.
Dream 2 :
I remember a fragment of trying to clean something that was covered with black widow webs. Then as I reached my hand back, one ran out toward my hand. It started me. I had a vacuum in my other hand and i was tempted to just vacuum up the BW, but I didn't want it then in the vacuum.
Then my mom pointed out some black widows that were in an orange tree.
Dream 3:
I just remember being in an outdoor shopping mall. In the center plaza area there was this ride. It was the kind where cars hang down and it spins in a circle. I got on. As it spun the cars went out a very long ways. I was suddenly worried that the cars would runinto the buildings--but I thought, "Why would someone build a ride that collided into the surrounding buildings.?"
I enjoyed the smoothness of the ride...how wonderfully it felt to glide around in this huge circle.
But then at somepoint it did get too close to the buildings. The ropes attached to the cars were getting tanlged on some posts. The ride stopped for a while, and I sat in my car. Finally it started up again, and I enjoyed the wind in my face again.
Dream 4:
I was looking at Easter cards with my mom.
I know there was more to this dream.
Ooh some creepy first couple of dreams. I usually find that when I have a creepy/scary dream it's because my day didn't go well or something. :(
Your third one reminds me of a dream I had where I was in some ride that consisted of one box that flew up and twirled around at high speeds... I remember trying to hold on for dear life and always having that feeling of falling! :shock:
Sometimes it's like that, but I can't think of anything bad that would have triggerd those particular dreams.
Dream 1:
Long, involved, yet mostly forgotten dream about fighting vampires. I remember I was physically fighting a lot. I remember actually being in some pain.
Dream 2:
I was driving down a freeway. This probably was part of a longer dream that I don't remember. But I do remember seeing some strange looking cats on the freeway onramp. I also remember I didn't like the shoes I was wearing because my foot kept slipping off the pedals, and I felt like I didn't have good control of the car.
Dream 3:
I had pulled into this shopping center. There was a hardware store. I suddenly realised that I was riding my bike. I had no chain to lock up. I was unsure what to do. Then a guy I was with pulled off the handle bars and took them into the store with us, as if that's what you're always supposed to do when you don't have a lock.
I went looking for things I knew I was suppose dto buy. But I could only remember that I needed cold medicine. I couldn't find any. When I finally askked, they told me they didn't carry it--that I would have to go next door to Safeway to get some.
Dream 4:
I was in England, I think I was supposed to be an exchange student.
I remember standing on a concrete pad by the ocean. I looked to my left and I could see a beach beyond a building. I walked to the edge of the concrete pad and the building. I could see that the beach was just beyond the other side of the buildig, but I couldn't get ot it without jumping into some really black deep looking water..or by walking all the way aroudn the big building.
I was then with my best freind and her English boyfreind. I think I was supposed to be staying with his family. I told them that I really wanted to go to the beach.
He said that we weren't allowed to go to the beach.
I said, "This will only take a few minutes--I just want to take a few pictures."
But he said that we couldn't.
I remember feeling upset, and thinking that being an exchange student was going to be really difficult now. I was used to being quite independant.
Then I looked back out into the ocean and I could see a large wave forming.
I knew that a tsunami was coming. I realised that it was a good thing that I wasn't on the beach. I ran to the back of the builing and pressed myself against it. I hoped that this would be good enough protection. I could then feel the whole building shake as the huge wave hit it. I wondered it the building was going to hold.
Dream 5:
I was in someone's house. I seemed to be waiting for someone. I was in den-type room. I was on a couch. I looked beside my and saw these little Darth Vader toys in a little case. There were Darth Vaders of every color. I took them out and layed them side by side on my lap taking a closer look at them.
Then this guy came in and we start making out. I did it for a while, then I started to get this feeling that I was doing something wrong. I tried to pinpoint what it was--was it who it was..or what we were doing?
Comment:
I think it's funny that the last dream had both "Darth Vader" and "making out" as themes. :p
:chuckle:
What's the attraction to Darth Vadar?:p
Oh my gosh, GH, that was funny....:lmao:
Perhaps...but I'm not sure why my dream mind keeps bringing this up. Power may be attractive...but Evil is kind of a big turn off for me.
Haha...Quote:
I can totally picture you as buffy the vampire slayer in that first dream.
Can I just admit here that is was actually a Buffy-inspired dream. :teeth:
Years ago my sister got me into Buffy and gave me all the DVDs as birthday and Christmas presents. Anyway last night I watched a few episodes before bed. And it totally stayed with me. I know I dreamed about it the whole first part of the night. I just forgot the details by morning.
As previously stated, I'm really not sure. But if I don't start recognising that dream sign, I'll start getting upset. I've had enough dreams with that theme that I'd better start "getting it".Quote:
What's the attraction to Darth Vadar?:p
Also tsunamis....ever since I mentioned the Sri Lankan tsunami, I have had these tsunami/tidal wave dreams. Next time I see a tsunami, I'd better jump up and fly away....meaning, I'd better be LUCID.
Awww, every one's picking on TS now. I hope is isn't all because of the way Darth's helmet is, umm, shaped. Oh, God, I hope that's not why.
*Takes cover*
Alright, I'm done teasing you. Time to get serious (:lmao: )... OK, really this time... Starting... NOW:
Don't be so hard on yourself. You'll get it soon.
I noticed that tie-in as well.Quote:
