Well, then, you're in luck. I'm back. I hope. I have had company and been very busy and my time on the computer has been practically nonexistant.

I have some dreams that I will write up later when I have time. Two of them were decent lucid dreams. I also completed the Basic task of looking in my closet and under my bed....and in my dresser drawers...

Woohoo!

Don't forget to put it in the TOTM so that I can give you your wingies

I have so many dreams to record that I feel a bit overwhelmed. But I'll start with yesterday's LD.


Lucid dream:


I was downstairs on my treadmill. I looked over to where my workout bench was supposed to be. I was surprised that I didn't see it. I looked away, then looked back. There it was. I closed one eye. The workout bench was gone again. I switched eyes, and the workout bench was back. I thought that was really odd and bizarre.

Then it hit me that I might be dreaming. I took a little jump and floated off the floor. The first thought to come to mind that I needed to fly upstairs and look under my bed, so I could finally get that task completed.

I flew up and went into my bedroom. I saw my bed as it is in real life with the boxsprings sitting directly on the floor. There was no space under the bed. I tried to reach under anyway. But there was no place for my hand to go.

I then looked up and saw my sister there. At that point I had a False awakening. I saw black.

I concentrated on the basement again. And I soon found myself on the treadmill again where I had started.

I flew upstaris again, this time picturing my bed with a space underneath. I got to my bed, but again, there was no space under the bed. My friend Emily was sitting on the bed with papers spead out all over it. I got distracted a bit and lost lucidity for a moment as we started to discuss those papers, which were very important in the dream.

I then had another false awakening. I pictured myself on the treadmill again, and was soon there.

I flew up the staris again remembering that I could look in my closet. I sat on the floor in front of the closet and reached in. The first thing I pulled out was a pair of brown jeans with a black belt on them (not anything I own in real life). I dropped then behind me. I then pulled out a black T shirt with the word "Peppers" written on the fron in faded grey letters (also not real).

I then started going through my shoes. These were all familiar from real life. I then saw the duffle bag that IRL holds my AstroScan telescope. I reached in and could feel the round smooth surface of the telescope.

I then pulled my clothing aside and looked in the back corner. I saw two Kermet The Frog Puppets (No, it didn't make me think of my Pig Puppet). I actually owned a Kermit puppet a long time ago. It didn't seem strange to see two of them in my closet.

I then stood and walked to my dresser drawer. I pulled the top drawer open and sorted through things. I saw a stack of photos. There were pictures of groups of people in a place that looked very familiar. [In retrospect the place was actually a place I had visited several times in my dreams.]

I then pulled out one of the carving's that Oneironaught had sent me (in IRL), except this one was half finished and the wood was an odd orange and black color.

I also reemmber seeing a little flower charm that would have gone on a necklace.

I think I saw many other things, but this is all I remember.

I then pulled open one of the small side drawer. There were lots of things in this drawer, but all I remember is that everything was so very dusty with a fine reddish brown dust. Oh, there was a pair of scissors in that drawer.

I then opened the small drawer under that one. This drawer was full of old cassette tapes. I pulled three out. They seemed to be fancy and instead of a paper label on them, there was a brown leather label. One said, "Global", another said, "Treadmill", and the last said, "Health". I figured these were old workout tapes that I used to use.

Before I could search any longer, I woke up.

I had another lucid dream a few days ago.

4-12-08


I was in a hotel room. I was looking at myself in a mirror. I noticed that my hair was very curly. I looked away for a moment and when I looked back my hair was really frizzy. This change made me lucid.

[I'm really embarrassed to say what I did next. But I guess I will--but please realize that in real life I really don't have this same obsession to look at my breasts.....]

The first thing I was to take off my shirt again to see what my naked body would look like in this dream. I looked normal and in proportion. I then decided it would be fun to see if I could mentally change the size of my breasts. I first made them bigger. They easily changed until they were a couple of cup sizes bigger. Then I decided to make them smaller. So I did this several times noticing how easy it was to change them. I just thought it, and they changed. I felt proud of myself for being able to do this so easily, and how I felt I was gaining much more control in LDs these days. I then decided to make them really big. But one got all saggy and deformed, so I made them normal again.

I then lost lucidity. But I was still in the hotel room. I looked over and saw my dad sitting on the bed. My dad is dead in real life, so this triggered lucidity immediatly. I then remembered that I wanted to complete the advanced task of riding a tsunami.

So I flew out the hotel door. I was flying over a forest. I needed to find the ocean. I then looked down and saw a river. For some reason I thought that I could make a tsunami on that river. I got closer and saw that the river was flowing fast. I kind of hovered barely above the river and wondered if that would count as riding a tsunami. But then I figured that this was more like white river rafting, and most likely would not count.

I decided to fly higher again. The forest was covered in snow. I could see buildings ahead. As I go closer they looked more like toys, yet they were really big. They reminded me of Playmobil--like great big dollhouses.

I then thought of Robot_Butler's dreams and how I wanted more interesting dreams, and how I needed to just relax and "go with the flow"-- but as I looked around I could see no one, and there was absolutely nothing going on that was at all interesting. Discouraged, I started looking for people. I decided I needed people for the dream to be interesting.

I don't exactly remember what happened next. I do remember talking to a girl named Claire. we were talking about someone named John. I don't think I was lucid during that part.

But then I was lucid again. I saw two guys. I knew I needed to interact with them. The only thing I could think of to do with them was to kiss them. I went to one of the guys and started to kiss him. It was awkward, and he was a terrible kisser. Then he said some rude things to me and started talking about Claire. I decided not to waste my time on him any longer.

I went to the next guy. He was much better looking anyway. He was gentle and nice to me and the kiss was wonderful and romantic. I remember his name was Jake.

At some point during this I woke up.

She's back

No dreams last night. I've been sleeping badly.

(Wow...and this DJ section has reeeally slowed down.)



Edit:

I just realized that my two year anniversary here was on Sunday. I somehow missed it. But anyway...Two years.....

It's amazing how real things can feel in your dreams. I had a lucid last weekend where I was in my garage and grabbed a metal watering can, which was round and smooth like your telescope. I was amazed at how perfectly real it felt. Entirely just as real as real life. My fingers squeaked over the glossy paint and I even felt some rusty spots which added a little roughness. Then I set it down in a cardboard box and tried to fly into outer space, which totally ruined the realism. Next time, I'm going to keep something tangible with me throughout the dream in the hope that it will keep me grounded.

Oh, happy anniversary. I've only been here since December, but it's been great. Lucid dreaming is the coolest thing I've ever tried.

Hey, unseen wombat....

Yeah, I love the lucid dreams where you take the time to notice how real things are. It kind of blows my mind to think about how this is all in my head, yet it feels so tangible. I need to remember to do this more in my LDs. I think I appreciate the whole LD experience if I take the time to make it as real as possible.

And that's funny, I just read that dream in your journal. I should have commented. That was a cool dream. In fact, I'll go comment now.

I've also noticed the DJ section has slowed down since things got shaken up. I've been trying to direct people back over to this section. I think its the best part of the site.

Oh, and happy anniversary. I hope you and DV have something romantic planned.

Yeah, this was always my favorite section too.

And thanks. I guess those two LDs I had this week could count as my anniversary gift to myself.

Hey, I thought you were a dream guide. What happened to your stars?

I stepped down quietly a few weeks ago. I didn't feel like I had been a Dream Guide long enough to deserve my own "leaving" thread. Besides, I didn't know it at the time, but I had picked the same day to step down as Seeker and Clairity. And there was enough craziness here on the site at that point.

Anyway, I had enough things going on in my life that I felt I couldn't be tied down to a message board.

Being a DG was really nice for the time I did it. It was a good way to feel a part of DV. But right now DV can't play as big of a part in my life as it once did.

Dreams:

All I remember is some fragments from a dream where I was travelling with a group of people. It was like we were forced out and having to leave, like refugees. Anyway, I was carrying this baby with me. He was pretty little, maybe a month old. He wasn't mine. But I don't know what happened to his mother. I was responsible for him now. Suddenly I realized that I wasn't able to nurse him. I had this horrible panic as I realized that I hadn't fed him at all in.....how long??? It was an awful feeling. I tried to think of what we had with us that he could eat. I was desperately asking everyone around me.

Aww, babies are cute

Yes they are, aren't they...


Dream:

All I remember is something about my workout bench and a beautiful girl.

I like the way you typed those two fragments.

Hmmm....why would that be...


Dreams:

I woke up again last night in the middle of the night as I seem to be making a habit lately.

I went to bed and had a few dreams that I remember, including a short LD.


Short Lucid Dream


I remermber being in a mall talking to Jan J. I don't remember exactly what happened but something about the "timing" made me realize I was lucid. I almost missed it. I remember thinking at first, "If only I had caught that earlier, I could have become lucid." But then I gave it a try and found I was still in the dream.

The first and only thing that came to my mind to do was to find Tom Bailey*. I wondered through the mall. I passed hundreds of people. I decided that I would just keep going until I found him. I thought about calling his name, but I was afraid that would wake me up, as this didn't seem like a particularly stable LD. But I never did find him, and I finally woke up. Later I realized that I was just a FA.


Dream 2:

I was in my car which actually was a van. I found myself waking up on the floor of the van. I looked out and saw that I was in a high school parking lot. I was embarrassed becasue everyone could see through the large clear windows of the van and see me sleeping. I wondered how I had happened to fall asleep there. It wasn't something that I had ever done before. But I was so extrememly tired that I fell asleep again. I woke up, again horrified to be in the van. I looked around and saw that I was actually in a mall parking lot. I started getting confused. I couldn't figure out how I had gotten there. In fact, as I looked around, I had no idea where this was. It was weird and stressful. I had no idea was city I was even in...or where I needed to drive to.


Dream 3:
I was suppose dto be participating in a bike race. BUt I then realized that I had never gotten the tires on my bike fixed. I looked in the back of the truck and saw a scooter (like a little Razor scooter) sitting next to it. I pulled it out and wondered if anyone would care if I rode the scooter instead.



*
It was because I watched this before bed.

Because it's mostly how I type them, in the same sentance.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the subject matter.



Dreams:

I had a bunch of dreams last night, but I didn't take notes. None were that exciting. I only remember fragments now. Like looking at these huge homes on a hill and telling a freind that huge houses like that made me feel both jealous and angry.

In another I was drinking this weird orange juice/punch stuff.

Oh-- there was one that seemed particularly unsusual. I met this guy in the dream. He said that in his universe that we were married and had kids. He told me that I needed to go to his universe so I could be with what he said was "my" family. That they needed me. I told him that I had a life and loved ones in this universe that I couldn't leave. Anyway, I was left with knowing that which ever choice I made, someone would be losing me. It was an overwhelming experience.

I'm going to update a few dreams.

5-3-08

Dream:

I don't remember how it started off. I do remember that Robot_Butler and I were standing in my garage. I looked at his arm and saw that there was a small black widow on it. I told him to hold still. I then reached up and tried to knock it off his arm, but it ended up smearing across his arm. I laughed and apologised. He then looked at me and pointed out that I had a black widow on me too. He was a little more skillful and knocked it to the floor and stepped on it.

(Just so you know, that was not the really good part of the dream....if you were wondering.)


We then went out into the backyard. It was the backyard of the LA house that I grew up in. My mom was there. She pointed out that the wind was just right tonight. I closed my eyes and felt it. I knew she was right. I knew that if I spead my jacket just right and jumped just right that the wind would lift me into the air.

So I jumped. Just as I knew it would, the wind lifted me 20 feet or so in the air. I hovered just a moment before the slowly drifted back down. I looked at R_B and told him to give it a try becasue it was the most incredible feeling. He jumped, but his jacket wasn't as wide as mine and couldn't hold the air. He went up about 5 feet or so then drifted back.

I had an idea. I stepped closer to him and reached for his hand. I then said, "Let's try this again." This time the extra lift from my jacket pulled us both high into the air. We went up about 100 feet before slowing down. I looked down. We were so high. I gave a little squeal of fear and excitement as we started to go back down.

We landed safely. We continued holding hands and as we did this over and over. It was night, but there was a full moon. It shown on the clouds around us, making the scene gorgeous and magical.

We jumped again. This time we went higher than ever before. As we went down. I noticed that we were no longer above my yard. I could see the moonlight shining off a church building below. I told R_B that as we landed on the church to run to the edge and try to lift off again. We were able to do so, while keeping the momentum. We then saw a large boulder and ran and jumped off that too. It was so exhilerating and I was so happy. We were both laughing. When we landed I pulled R_B close and gave him a kiss. It wasn't as much a passionate kiss as an "I'm so happy right now and I'm so glad you're here" kind of a kiss.

I then noticed we were by a school. There were kids around. Not sure why they were there at night. (Yet if it didn't seem strange to be gliding on the wind at night with R_B, then I guess I kids at night in a school, wouldn't trigger lucidity.)

We wanted to let the wind lift us again, but we didn't want to do it in front of the kids. So we ran up a hill. There was a really tall chain link fence near the top. R_B effortlessly climbed to the top. I was a little ways behind , and when I saw him climb it so fast and easily, I knew that I would be able to do it too. I climbed the 20 feet or so in just a few second. I looked around. We were so high. Not only at the top of a high fence, but on top of a hill. I felt so high.

R_B reached for my hand again and asked, "Ready?"

For some reason, I suddenly wasn't sure my jacket would catch the wind right from the fence. I hesitated.

Then I looked over and saw a house. A lady was looking out her window. SHe yelled at us to get down from off the fence., I knew we couldn't jump while she was watching.

Next thing I knew is we were running away from the lady.

We somehow ended up in a barn that was actually a dorm full of sleeping kids. There was an older man that looked really mean. We continued to run.

And I have no idea what happened after this point. I either woke up or drifted into something now forgotten.



5-17-08 ?

Dream:


I don't remember much of the main body of the dream. I only remember that I kept seeing all kinds of things that seemd supernatural. The only one I specifically remember was seeing these lights in the sky that were flashing and looked like nothing I had ever seen before. I was amazed at everything I was seeing. Then I was with my mom and telling her about everything. I ended with something like, "I can't believe all this stuff. It's so incredible........unless it is all some kind of joke someone is playing on me."

And then I looked closer at my mom. And then I knew. It was all a prank. And she had been in on it. I felt annoyed that I had had my hopes up that it really was somethign supernatural.

I also remember that GH had been in on it. I even remember talking to him afterwards, but at the time I hadn't appreciated that it was actually GH. [Actually, in retrospect, I don't think I actually talked to GH in the dream, I just had one of those fake memories that I had talked to him. Does that make sense?]

I looked around hoping to find him again so I could talk to him. I then spent the whole rest of the dream wandering around searching for him and calling out to him. But I never found him.


5-19-08

Lucid dream:


I don't even remember what made me lucid. I remember being in this hallway. I was flying over all these people. I knew I wanted to interact with someone because those dreams are the most interesting.

I somehow ended up with this guy in a closet. I know what you're thinking....but we didn't have sex. I did kiss him a little, but things got weird. I don't even remember the details of "weird". But I do remember telling the guy, "I don't think I will write this part up in my DJ."

Then I got curious. I asked him. Do you know what I'm talking about when I say things like 'DC'?

"Dream Character." He said.

"Well, how about DJ, then?"

"Dream Journal."

"Well, that makes sense that you know, since I know, and you are basically me."



Middle part of the dream:

I did all kinds of things in this dream. I remember saying, "Wow, I'm still dreaming. I hope I can remember all this".

Of course I don't.

I vaguely remember something about flying and seeing the ground above my head and thinking that it looked very flat, like a movie screen.


End of dream:


A group of lucid dreamers all met together to do this huge Epic Task that Seeker had asked us to try for his Workshop. (I believe I would call this the "going with the flow" part. I still seemd to think I was lucid. But at the same time I was kind of sucked into this plot.)

There were several people there. The only one that was an actual person that I knew was Moonbeam, who, like I mentioned before was sometimes my other friend Natacha.

We were all standing at the edge of this huge canyon. There was a bridge that spanned across from side to side.

The Task was to do this:

Strip down to you underwear. Fly across the canyon, going under the bridge. Once to the other side, we were to get to our homes in any way we wanted (flying, porting, etc). We were then to find a parent or other family member and ask them the question, "Do I have Hidden Family?" Any answer we received would count. Then we were to return back to the starting point.

I noticed in the group several others that supposedly lived in the same place as I did. (In the dream I was considering my mom's house home.) I talked to them a little about that fact. I also remember talking about how PeteB was the one who had originally introduced me to lucid dreaming and how I was greatful for that. (See, it's things like that where I realize that I wasn't completely lucid here.)

So we all got ready to start. We stripped down to our underwear. I was wearing a brown bra and panties that I do not own in real life.

A guy from Brazil was chosen to start. HE was very tan and was wearing boxer shorts. I watched him fly out over the canyon and under the bridge.

Then the rest of us just stood and waited for what seemed like an extremely long time. I then suddenly thought, "This is so stupid to wait. There is no reason we can't all do this at once. I don't want to waste my lucidity just waiting (and that thought makes me know that I was still at least somewhat lucid.)

I told everyone that I was going to go. As soon as I said that I could see the Brazilian guy coming back. I remember thinking, "Wow, he was fast."

I took off over the canyon. I felt like I was going too slow. I decided to do the trick that I learned to do in past LDs and instead of trying to propel myself forward faster, I would just make the scenery come at me faster.

It worked and soon I was across the canyon. I looked down (I wasn't very high off the ground) and saw two lucid dreamers dressed up as vampires. I knew that their purpose was to try to distract me from finishing the Task. They called out at me, but I ignored them. I knew that I needed to get to my home quickly. I decided to just make the scenery change. When I thought that, everything went black.

Then I started seeing things, as if I were coming out of a dark tunnel. I saw red cliffs that I knew were near my mom's town. I came out of the tunnel, and realized that I was up on top of this huge rock face. To my horror, as I came out I noticed that I had somehow knocked this huge boulder loose and I watched it fall all the way down the cliff face. I panicked as I hope that no one was at the bottom that would be hurt by the falling boulder.

As I felt the rock crash at the bottom, I felt the ground that I was standing on tremble. I had the horrible thought that I might have triggered a rock slide that would affect me becasue I was standing at the very edge.

But then I realized that I was still dreaming and that I could just fly down off the cliff, that the rock slide wouldn't matter at all.

But at this point I woke up.


5-22-08

Dream:


Last night a very intelligent and rather polite vampire told me something which I thought was immensely important at the time. In fact, several times I tried to write it down, only to find that I never woke up to do it. The only part which is left in my mind is the very short partial phrase, "readable thoughts".

Yay, it's TwoShadows again!

We stripped down to our underwear. I was wearing a brown bra and panties that I do not own in real life.

Hey Ninja...thanks for making my DJ not such a lonely place.

Even if you only noticed the bra and panties....



Oh, and there is a good chance that I will get to go kayaking this weekend. I'll post a pic if I do.

It's never lonely when I'm around You've still got the most popular thread outside of the lounge Descriptions of beautiful women in their underwear doesn't hurt Kayaking is fun, maybe I'll go soon too, if it's not too cold.
