Cool...

That was taken in Sequoia National Park--part of my California trip earlier this month. I still have a bunch of those pictures I haven't gotten around to posting yet. I went to a lot of cool places on that trip.

(That picture I am currently using as wallpaper on my computer--but I always change it every couple of weeks or less, so I don't get tired of them.)


Dream fragments:

Running around in World of Warcraft (again).


Being in a school, but not as a student.

Hey here it is Its at the bottom.

I absolutely love your pics, TS. You are so talented and again I am inspired to try myself. The black widow! And the snails (what are they doing? ) The trees! In addition to the whales which I still think are amazing (and I'm going to keep lobbying for swimming with them as a task). You really had a nice vacation.

Adam, your technique is sort of what I do, but I never really thought about it as systematically as you have written it out. I can't do WBTB because I'd never get back to sleep, but I never thought to observe what position I'm in, etc. all the details that you have quantified. Thanks for laying it out like that, I'm going to try and both incorporate some of your ideas and pay more attention to exactly what I do when I am successful.

Well, a new month, and new tasks! And every night we get another chance to dream! That's why lucid dreaming is a great hobby.

Thanks guys.

I have gone to bed way to late the late couple of nights to have good dreaming.

Although, I do think I had a short LD last night.

I remember waking up and saying to myself, "Well, I actually did have an LD" But I don't remember any of it since I fell right back to sleep.

Another dream...

The one dream that I do remember was with me being back in college.

I was trying to get to class. As usual I was hainvg trouble remembering just where my class was and what the exact time was. I was getting mad at myself for letting this happen again (of course when I awoke I got mad at myself all over again for not catching this obvious and very common dream sign).

I was heading toward this tall black building with mirrored windows. At least I remembered that that was the place where my class was.

I remember there being a lot of excitement on campus. We had just heard the news that Hawaii no longer wanted to be part of the US and that our country was about to enter cival war. I remember seeing armed guards there on campus. It made me feel very nervous, and I had this feeling that life as I knew it was quickly going to change.

Then I remember gong to drive back to the dorms. And old roommate needed a ride. She also asked if a few freinds could also get a ride. I started driving them all back. I noticed that my car's brakes were not working well. It was very scary. Each time I came to a stop light I would have to drag my feet on the ground to help stop the car. (I missed another common dream sign here).

I didn't had an accident. I finally dropped the girls off. I stayed and talked to my old roommate for a little while. She was a ltitle upset that I had failed to notice that she had lost 75 pounds. But once she had pointed it out, I noticed that she really did look much thinner.

Hey no problem, good luck. Would love to share ideas if it means I can improve on this.

So far I have had 100% success with it, so might only work for me, but hopefully it can work for many others

Here are a couple of pics...





TS

I love the affect in the first one. Second one is cool - you have very nice eyes

Thanks, Adam....




Like I said before I haven't been getting much sleep. I haven't attempted lucidity. I need to start going to bed early and really give this a try.

There are whole new tasks to do. But "Pick a Card" sounds rather boring to me. Since I didn't get into the "club" last month I don't know whose idea that was and I don't want to offend anyone--but why a card??? Aren't there more interesting things to find and observe? I liked the Newspaper headline idea. But oh well, I'll have to make sure my card tells the future, or at least something more intersting then, "It's a heart!".


Dreams:

I don't remember much-- mostly just fragments.


Fragment 1:

I remember looking through pictures and finding one that I took while hiking of a huge african lion with its mouth open. I remember wanting to post that one becuase it was so impressive.


Fragment 2:

I was with this guy that I was maybe going to date or something. He said something about wanting to sleep in a cabin in the woods. I remember being excited and told him I knew of a place that we could go.

Then I remember sleeping with him. No sex--just sleeping. But it was intimate and nice.


Fragment 3:

Somethign about my mom.

I am hoping mine have the winning lottery numbers on it

I love the few latest batches of pictures.

I think I remember the card one being mentioned two months ago, when I actually made it for a change. But, I think the water animal one was possibly a result of a suggestion I made (at least I'd like to feel important like that )

Yeah, GH, When I read that, I thought of the suggestion you made. I really look forward to trying that one. I wonder how good mine will turn out. I wonder if I will say, "Water, form a bear"..and it will form a bear......OR if it will just pick something on its own and I'll be surprised. This is a fun one with lots of possibilities. Glad you suggested it...and glad it was chosen.

I thought the card one was OK, for the same reason--maybe a cool Tarot card or something would come up (I did it, but I don't know how to interpret mine.) But now that you mention it, a newspaper headline is a very cool idea. I was thinking on the way to work this morning that turning on a radio and seeing what you heard would be good, but the newspaper is better really--more doable. We should keep that in mind and suggest it soon (I missed it when it was suggested before.)

Moonbeam, that's cool you got the Task done...and so soon! Oh, I've got to get going. I missed last month, and I hate going two months without doing the task. So I've got to FOCUS!


Hey speaking of "focusing", I finally got my eye picture. But I wasn't able to get a really clear one (that's why it's in this thread and not the other one where it would be compared with all the others. And notice how I put my own pictures here too ). I should probably keep trying for a better one.

This one looks a little unnatural for me because if you notice in my other pictures that I have naturally "smiley" eyes. And I had to really try to open them to get the picture.

But here is the one I've got so far.



TS

The only dream I remember played like a game--probably World of Warcraft inspired. That's what I get when I play before bed.

I remember that I was with Jeff and we each had little fairies that flew at our shoulders and helped attack our enemies. My fairy was about three inches tall and had bright green hair. Jeff's was about two inches tall and was purple.

There was one point in the dream when we had to travel in a boat and I was afraid something would happen to the fairies. I had tried to capture my fairy and put her into a jar. She didn't like it and tried to get out before I could put the lid on. I was afraid I was going to squish her fingers, but then she finally gave up and went to the bottom so I could put the lid on.

I remember letting her out later.

Then there was something about this dangerous guy that I wasn't supposed to get close to, and I ended up having to stand next to him while on another boat. I hoped he didn't know who I was.



Still no lucidity.

Hey, maybe I have stolen them from you? I can't stop having lucid dreams at the minute. Well except for the past 4 days but that's my own fault lol.

Thanks, TS (re task congrats). I like your multicolored eye.

Your eye is similar to mine with the yellowish bit in the middle! Gorgeous!

And I agree... the card task does sound boring. I'm going for the gusto.

Thanks Moonbeam and CB!

Yeah, CB, I noticed that when I saw the picture of your eye that you posted. Cool.



Dreams:

I remember that for some reason my family was going to have to move. I was really disappointed. I liked our house and didn't want to leave it. But we were going to get to stay in the same town.

There was this old church that was for sale. In recent years it had been used as a motel. Our family was thinking af buying it. It had a very large deck over a parking lot. I tried to get excited thinking about ways I could use that area if we ended up buying that place. But the one thing I didn't like about it was that it was in a commercial part of town right on the main street.

Dream 2:

I was with my family again. We were supposed to be in a foreign county. I think it was Israel. I remember talking with my dad. He wanted me to give this speech somewhere about my visit so far in Israel. But I suddenly realized that I hadn't even left the place where we were staying--that I hadn't had any experiences worth talking about yet. I told my dad that he needed to take me around, so I could see the places, then I would be able to give the speech.

I remember it felt so good to be with my dad. Too bad it didn't trigger lucidity. Sometimes dreams about my dad will trigger lucidty. But I think it's sometimes good to just hang out with my dad in dreams without becoming lucid--because once I'm lucid, I usually just go off and do other things. I miss my dad and being with him in dreams kind of makes me feel like I've recently been with him.

Dream:

I dreamed that I was in Salt Lake at my grandparent's old house. We were having a huge family reunion. Somehow one of the family members heard that there had been a government conspiracy to put bar codes on all the babies while they were in the hospital after they were born.

We gathered the babies that were there at the reunion. We looked closely at them. We discovered that when you held the baby at just the right angle that you could see a faint bar code on the baby's back. Several of us were very upset that this would be done without anyone letting us know.

Weird, reminds me of the film the Omen for some reason - I have no idea why though..

Barcodes on babies? That's too funny!!!!
I want to go to Israel someday. I have an old pen-pal who lives in Jerusalem. He told me that there are so many programs for Jews in America that will pay for them to go for a week or two, like a short foreign exchange program. I'd love to go, but right now I'd be too afraid because of all the wars.

Haha! Barcoding babies! Wow, I guess then you wouldn't be able to mix them up, just scan them to be sure they're yours and you're off!

Hey Adam. I've never seen the movie The Omen, so I don't know what the connection would be either...

Yeah, I'd love to go to Israel if it were safer. So much cool history there.

Hey LB. I think the bar code idea came from the idea of computer chips. You know how you can get a computer chip implanted into your pet, then if it gets lost, they can just scan its neck and find out who it belongs to. I've heard that they might do that with people some day.

The again, it may have been inspired from that old show Dark Angel, where she had a barcode tattooed on the back of her neck because she was a government genetically enhanced project.

Or maybe it was totally random--just a weird dream...

I had two DV member dreams last night. It's been a while since I had one. These were pretty short, but at least I remember who I dreamed about.

Dream 1:

I was in an airport. I was flying back to where I was supposed to be going to college. The airport was like a maze. I was confused as to where to go. I finally looked over and saw Amethyst Star. She looked like she knew where she was supposed to be going. I started following her. I was trying to catch up, but she was always too far ahead. But I did finally get to the right place thanks to Ame.


Dream 2:

This one may have been several, but I'm not sure whre the didiving lines are.

I was at some kind of wedding. I was sitting at a table in the reception room. I remember CoLd BlooDed was sitting at that table. I think we talked, but I don't remember what we talked about.


I remember going back to a house after the wedding. I was standing in the backyard. I looked over at a tree and saw what I first thought was a bird house. I looked in and saw about four little frog. One of the frogs hopped to the door and then flew out. I was surprised to see it fly. I looked at the others. I could see little bat-like wings behind their front arms. Then my mom was htere and explaining that she had been givinn the flying frogs, by someone. SHe hoped that they were doig alright, but she still worried about them.

Later in the dream (and I'm not sure where it fits in--so I'll just put it here while we are on the subject) my sister comes in and tells us that she sold the frogs on ebay and that she felt she had found a better home for them. I felt a little upset. I would have taken the frogs if I knew they didn't want them.


Then I see Dave N in the backyard he is duelling with someone using magic spells. I see that he has a wand. I remember thinking that the spells he used were very clever. I admired him. Then later we were talking about his spells. He was showing me how he could pick up a chair using his wand. We were supposed to put all the chirs in the backyard onto a truck (it's like they were left over from the wedding).

I started messing around--trying to pretend that I could pick up a chair using magic--even though I didn't have a wand or any experience. To my surprise I could make the chair float just using my mind. I showed Dave and this other man that was there. I asked them what it meant. They said that soome peopel are just born with that ability, but it was very rare.

I remember saying, "Wow...you mean I will be able to do this in school...oh gosh...and while playing sports...oh, this will be cool!"
