Fried Cinnamon Apples

I was in the basement getting ready for a shower. Half of my shapoo/conditioner bottles were gone and replaced with different ones.

I got out of the shower and went upstairs. Joe was there. I was really mad at him for doing something, but we were going to make fried cinnamon apples. He was trying to put a glass bowl on the stove and I kept taking it away from him and telling him that he needed a pan. He yelled back at me for dicing the apples wrong. He said that I couldn't use two of the same apples in a row because it would ruin the taste. I told him that didn't make any sense.

July 9th 2011

Purple Bowl Flower

I was camping with Joe and next to our campsite was this huge bush that had flowers with purple scales. The flower was shaped like a pitcher plant. Also next to us were giant morning glories.

We went down to a parking lot where there were homeless children. People were adopting them for a few nights to go camping.

Middle Ages Bonfire

I was in the Middle Ages era and dressed in the appropriate attire. I was with another girl and we were in the forest. We had started a bonfire and were reading books. The guards were not pleased by this and kept telling us to put out the fire.

Jealous Ginger Snaps

I came home late at night. There were two bags of ginger snaps sitting on the counter. One of the bags was already opened.

I grabbed a few from the opened bag and munched on them. When I turned around, the other bag was gone.

I found it later on the driveway, and wondered how it got there.

I eventually figured out that by eating ginger snaps from the opened bag, I was making the other bag of ginger snaps jealous and it was teleporting itself away from me.

Escape Route

I was on the bus from highschool/middleschool and about to go home. They told us that the bus was having technical difficulties and we'd have to get off and wait for another bus to come.

We went back into the school cafeteria and waited, until I realized that I had driven here...doh!

CP and I were trying to find an exit out of the school that wasn't locked. This part of the dream had more middle school scenery since the middle school I went to had security and control nazis. We checked for awhile for any open door until I eventually found one. I ran back to CP and got him, and we drove home.

LOL Jealous ginger snaps?! That's funny

Lunch Date

I was eating lunch with some friends, pretty basic. We went home and I remember watering some of my plants. They had grown enormously, and I didn't realize that they were vining plants until now. I needed to plant them outside.

There was also another point in the dream where I was outside and it was raining heavily. I was playing tag with a friend.

The Chaos Tasks

There was a tree in my yard. I was examining it carefully. It was a very strange tree, because it was made out of beads.

I went out to the backyard where I saw a huge, beautiful cliff. The cliff steeply dropped off into a river of black water before coming up again. There were steep stairs leading down into the dark valley, but near the bottom they were submerged by water.

It was beautiful, yet sinister.

I thought about how someone needed to build a bridge to the other side because the stairs were now underwater. There was another guy with me, not sure who he was or my relation to him, that was having a blast jumping off the cliff and into the water. The water was shallow so I was surprised that he wasn't seriously injuring himself.

I got distracted and went off to play an old video game. I was about to get to the interesting part when I get a phone call.

"Hey, you need to get down here. It starts at 5," The man on the other side of the phone whispered.

"What starts at five...?" I asked.

"The Chaos Tasks."

Hmm, play a video game or meet up with a mysterious cultish figure? I chose the latter.

I was summoned to an area with glass doors. So many glass doors! It was like a maze. Trying to find which door was the real one so I could get through this. I followed another guy half way through it before losing him.

I eventually made it to the cave where we were meeting up to do the Chaos Tasks.

There were maybe 8-10 people there. For sure Saltyseedog was there, Nomad was there, and Nephanim was there.

Saltyseedog seemed to be leading the tasks. He was telling us everything that needed to be done. There were about 10 tasks and we could chose the one that we wanted to do. Some were easy. I remember that one of the tasks was "To lay in the river of black water and absorb the darkness".

"But first, it seems like we have another issue to deal with!" Salty yelled out from the cave.

You could see in the black dreamscape sky a satellite emerging and growing. The satellite filled the sky and then broadcasted blue waves to the people walking the streets. As soon as the blue broadcast waves hit them, they instantly turned towards us like zombified dream murderers.

We set out to defend ourselves and kill all of the hypnotized people that were attacking us. I became lucid at this point.

I was having a lot of fun experimenting with fighting styles while trying to defend myself from 4-5 people at once. I rarely get to do this because my lucids are normally too calm and peaceful.

At first I tried a martial arts style of fighting. It worked pretty good. Uppercuts, blocking their advances, and an awesome new kick I invented. I was getting bored of it though, I had many things I wanted to try.

I wanted to try dream magic. I created an invisible energy shield around me while I harvested energy from the attackers around me. When I had enough, I broke through my own shield and exploded with a force field of energy that wiped out any living creature around me.

I now fought the attackers with invisible force. I didn't need to touch them to push them away. It was so easy.

"We have...reinforcements?" I heard Nomad yell. There were people on our side coming to help us, but we didn't know them.

I fought through the masses until I saw something that caught my eye. It seemed to be the leader. She was a woman and snickering at the control that she had. Nomad set her on fire. That made me think about trying to fight with fire.

Nephanim, Nomad, and I met up in a corner of the dreamscape near what looked to be an elevator. Nephanim told us that he had been busy hacking into the computer program that was broadcasting control signals and trying to disable it. We had killed off most of the vicious people.

This is just an update before I go to bed. I remembered a few more dreams/fragments from last night.

I remember vividly seeing an owl, and I'm pretty sure this was from the lucid posted above. I remember that moment when we both met eyes, as if it had sentience of its own.

In another dream, I was a photographer. I was snapping pictures of random things like churches and upside down Christmas trees.

Power Outage on the Highway

My mother and I were on the highway, when suddenly all of the street lights and everyone's headlights go out. We can't see anymore! I think about how a power outage shouldn't effect a car's headlights but I dismiss the thought.

My mom and I pull over and try to find a hotel in the darkness.

Evil Megan

I was having a party at my house. One of the attendees was an evil little girl named Megan. Not evil as in world domination, but evil as in very mean spirited. She was insulting many of the guests. I was trying to get her to calm down or leave or something.

Cold and Wet

I was walking back to the old campus where I took German. It was really cold and wet. The ground was slushy and it was soaking through my shoes. By the time I got there I was drenched.

I got inside the room, about thirty minutes late, and they were having a binder check. We hadn't done one of these in years. I opened my backpack, hoping that I had brought my binder. I found it in there and handed it in.

Revenge of the Fire Pokers, Logs, and other Random Objects

I was in somebody's house. It wasn't mine though. We had taken refuge there because random objects were coming to life and attacking us!!!

Fire pokers would come to life, "walk" over to the door, and stare at us for a minute menacingly before chasing us around the house. Random logs would roll around on the ground trying to trip us. It was annoying and frightening.

We were told by a purple elephant that we could save ourselves and the rest of the world if we collected the two metal rings and flew on the broom westward.

So that's what we did. We found the two metal rings (about 4 inches in diameter) and hopped on the broom. My partner went behind me, I rode in the middle, and the purple elephant rode on the front of the broom. It was a lot to handle for the poor broom. The rings were deviant and would try to escape if we let them, so they were looped around the broom between the purple elephant and I. I was to watch them to make sure they didn't escape.

About three quarters of the way to the West, I had thought that I had lost the deviant metal rings so the purple elephant flew away and went back home. I found them instead between my partner and I, but the elephant was already gone.

That dream with me is pretty interesting. If it was me I don't remember. I have dream amnesia so I don't go crazy from all my lucids.....

Real Life Frogger and Lava

I was with Joe and a couple other friends. We were in a room that had a strange playground-like structure in the middle. It really looked more like twisted and warped metal, but it had little indents for climbing. The goal was to play some sort of lava game (as in, climb around it without touching the floor) until everyone had satisfied the requirements to level up.

Once we completed a level we would be teleported to a new room with a different structure.

It took us almost forever, but we finally passed all of the lava levels and made it to an entirely new section of the game. The new genre of the game was more along the lines of frogger. You needed to cross the room without getting hit, squished, or crushed.

There would be giant moving yellow blocks and anvils that would fall from the sky. It was getting intense.

Flooded Memphis

I was in Memphis with my sister. We were driving around just looking for something to do. I don't remember all of this dream, but I remember everything completely flooding. And then there was this strange pirate that was following us around screaming weird things.

Learning the Violin

Someone had given me a violin as a gift. I was learning how to play it and picking up the art very quickly. I was playing Melancholie and Cannon D.

Too Nice and Distracted

I was at SD's house. We were hanging out and he was having a party. He showed me a cool website that was a lot like grooveshark, except one would reserve certain songs for certain says. The front page had a calendar of the week with songs lined up on it.

"Do you hear that...?" He whispered.

"No...I don't hear anything..." I responded.

"Shh...Sounds very low, very bassy..." He added.

I didn't hear anything. We went to the bouncy house in front of his house and I finally heard what he was talking about. Somebody was playing their guitar outside!

He came inside the bouncy house and started rocking out. I tripped and accidentally bounced into the netting on the backside of the bouncy house...And when I did, I had a strange vision. It was like for a moment I had poked my head into someone else's dream.

There was something strange about what lay past the white netting of the bouncy house. Very strange and curious. I pushed myself into the netting. It was like trying to walk through elastic saran wrap.

I began to see that I was traveling through a psychedelic tunnel. On the sides of the tunnel were sometimes snippets of scenes and people as if they were on film, acting out their lives as if everything was normal.

I saw a scene of a guy I knew, he was sitting in a locker room alone. I pushed my way into the scene, until I was standing there with him.

"Woah, woah, woah, shorty!" He said as he realized that I was standing there.

"What's up?"

"You look like...A shiny, glossy, metallic person from another dimension!" He exclaimed.

I looked down at myself and chuckled. Indeed, I looked exactly that!

I sort of looked like that guy above, but more gray metallic.

"So, what are you doing?" I asked.

"Waiting here for my parents to come. We're supposed to do some weird family photo together. It's their dream or something to have a photo together since we are always apart," He responded.

Dream...Hmmm, I should do a reality check, I thought.

I did a reality check and found that I had five fingers and a thumb. I dismissed it at first, then did a double take. I couldn't believe that I was dreaming!!! Everything seemed so real.

"We're dreaming!" I told him, "Do a reality check!"

He looked puzzled for a moment before I explained that he had to see if he had the correct amount of fingers.

I wanted to stabilize before I went out to try and do the Nightstalker Tasks. I walked around the locker room and went into the girl's bathroom. The entire scene was very yellow and green. It was kind of creepy. I was trying to read the words that were written on some of the bathroom stalls. All of them sounded rather despairing and unfortunate. It was hard to make out the words because of the nature of the dream. One of the sentences said something like, "All there is left is false hope."

Once I decided I was stabilized enough, I left the bathroom to try and find a graveyard.

"Wait! Wait! Don't leave without me!" He yelled. I had completely forgotten about him! I decided that if he has never lucid dreamed before, then I should take him flying.

We left the locker room and went into the main school hall ways. The halls were flooded with students. We easily navigated our way out.

As soon as I got out of the door I looked to the sky. Perfect blue skies in hyper clarity.

I told him to grab my hand and I launched off into the air. He seemed absolutely delighted. I let go so he could fly on his own. We landed back on the sidewalk.

He tried to launch off on his own, but stumbled.

"How do you get back up in the air?" He asked.

"Anyway you want," I replied, "you can flap you arms, pretend to swim, whatever. Don't try, just do."

He got the hang of it immediately.

"You're a natural!" I shouted out to him.

Even though I feel like I got completely distracted from what I was supposed to do, this was honestly one of the best flying experiences I have had. Everything was in HYPER clarity, and I could feel the wind rushing against me as we flew, and I could feel the height that we were at, it was just awesome.

We landed back down on the grass so he could bring some more friends up there with him, but I woke up.

Lava Flood

I was at Joe's house, and lava was flooding his basement! We were trying to trap it so that it couldn't fill the entire area, but most of what we were using wasn't working. We were trying to make a dam out of laundry and other items. Nothing was working!

The Purple Dragonlike Ninja Turtle Beast

I was running into town, trying to get to my karate lessons on time! There was a little boy from my class running with me. I had just made it into the town, but my path was being blocked by buildings that wouldn't let me pass unless I walked into them and then out the other way.

I walked into a big white building, hoping to pass through it easily. The little boy was still with me. I was making sure that he wasn't getting lost. We had two minutes to get to our lesson.

The building that we had walked into was tricky. There was no straight in and out. You were forced to follow the hallways upwards. It was easy at first...Until it became an obstacle course.

The little boy was really enjoying himself here, but I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The white marble floors would occasionally have huge sections missing out of them, so the person would have to jump a good ways to continue down the hallway. If you didn't manage to make the jump, you were in for a good fall (2-3 story fall).

At one time, the marble floor had been cut out so that both lateral pieces were missing, leaving the middle part as a balance beam. This really freaked me out. I had lost the boy and wasn't sure where he went. He was probably far ahead of me. I had a feeling we were going to be late to karate.

After so much climbing and jumping, I realized that I was at the end of the course at the very top of the building. I went up a few black stairs, waiting for the big ending to all of this, and found myself in a fitness room. There were treadmills, ellipticals, weight lifting, etc. I wondered what all the big hype here was about. There was barely even anybody in the room.

"This is where I fell!!" The little boy shouted, who had been waiting up here for me. He pointed to a hidden hole in the floor. It looked like a good drop.

I walked around the room until I found a monk near the windows. He was looking outside and talking to a student of his. His student was levitating objects with his hands. After his student left I went to talk to the monk.

I asked him how his student was levitating objects, to which he replied, "I teach my students many arts. If you would like to become a student, then I welcome you. All you need to do is lay down, fall asleep, and we will meet up on the dream plane. There will be many tasks."

I did a reality check, but it passed.

I tried to find a place to fall asleep against a door. One of the doors was creepy though. The handle was covered in blood and strange noises were coming out of it...

I may have fallen asleep within the dream at this point, but I don't know.

I started wandering around the place again, looking for anything interesting. I found the monk again, who told me that I had a great task at hand. He said that I was to slay some sort of beast. I don't remember what it was, because it looked half dragon, half ninja turtle.

The beast came running out of a corner. It was purple and huge. I had a weapon to fight him. It was a mixture between a mace and nunchucks. Long story short because I am running out of time to type, I beat the beast.

I sat down again somewhere and listened to some of the monks talking. They were talking about the next task. They wanted to bring out another beast. I wondered if this beast was the one that was making noises in the room with the bloody door handle. I checked my watch, I missed karate lessons. I thought to myself how this just might make up for it, though.

I fought the next beast that they brought out, which was a variation of the last one. It was still purple, dragonlike, and huge. I was able to fight it off like the other one, though it was harder. Attacking it with different styles was pretty fun.

I have to go now, I'm on vacation and have to get dressed.

Pyramids and Statues

I remember that I was traveling through a narrow trench between two very large cliffs.

We arrived to an area with pyramids and statues of gods and goddesses.

In one area, instead of steps to the top of the pyramids, there were statues of gods that you had to walk on and climb to reach the top. I fell at the top, but landed on both feet safely.

Sean the Stalker

I might omit this dream, I haven't decided yet.

I was with a friend in the park. There was something chasing us. It looked like a skeleton man. It was chasing more than just us though. Sometimes the man would disappear for awhile, then come back to haunt us. We watched in horror as it killed another man about a half mile away from us.

The dream skips here.

Her and I are now in my house. We are being stalked by a man named Sean. He was about 5'8-9, around 18-19 years old, and Asian. We know that he is the same guy as before, and we think that he is not from my dream (which should have caused me to become lucid). I have seen him before, but I don't know where.

He has a knife, and he is sadistically waving it around in front of us. My friend and I are hiding in the closet, trying to be quiet so he won't know where we are. The suspense is killing us.

I know that he is in the same room and I know I need to attack him. But attacking him won't do anything. I need to surprise him.

I burst out of the closet and leap into his arms with a giant kiss. He was surprised, alright, and wildly amused.

He told us that he had to leave for awhile, and that he would come back in another dream.

He did.

Rest of the dream is secret!

Power was out for most of the day, so I'm rushing to post these!

Exposing the Alligator Alien Principle

I went to a boarding school. The principle was JACKED UP. She was a lady with the face of an alligator. We were out to prove that she was an ALIEN.

Most of the school didn't believe us, so we resorted to our final tactic.

We got a sledge hammer and bashed the portrait of her in. Under that portrait was revealed a picture of outer space. Of course, this proved to everyone that she was an alien...because her having an alligator head wasn't suspicious enough.

Caught by the Government

I was to go on a plane ride to Florida. We were going to Disneyland, but I forgot my driver's license. I hoped they would still let me on the plane.

I had searched for it for awhile, hoping that maybe I had put it in my suitcase. It wasn't there.

To get to the real airport where the planes were, we had to drive to a secured area. Those who had been given permission to fly would be let in.

They opened the gate and the car in front of us went in...We thought that we could get in too, but a police car drove right in front of us and the gate closed.

Government officials seized us out of the car and took us to a secured area. They were interrogating us and when they weren't looking we tried to escape.


Few things that I couldn't discern from my DJ

"a school I was trying to escape from by seizures"

"screaming girl, vampires rawr"

Thanks. I woke up and wasn't sure what to think of it!

I don't remember too much from last night. I got about 4 or less hours of sleep because we had to wake up at 5:30am to leave. Took two cat naps today, both under half hour and both I remember dreaming. During my second nap, I was having some serious HH and felt someone grab my shoulder and knock heavily on the door. It was kind of scary, lol.

I think I dreamed something about hula hoops.

Wait! I think Neph said he had this dream. HOLD ON HOLY SHIT.

Well, I had a dream about an organization building a device to control people's minds. What I recall of the dream didn't get far enough, but Nomad and I were part of a team of rebels that was going to track it down and destroy it. Pretty interesting. That sounds exactly what I would be doing, too, Zukin.

It seems like every time I fall behind on your dreams, there's an interesting gem waiting to be found.

EDIT: Here's the relevant portion...

I immediately assumed they were with the Organization and threw up my hands in surrender. It wasn’t worth fighting anymore, I decided. If they were going to kill me, whatever… I didn’t want to live in fear like this anymore. Then my eyes narrowed. Nomad was with them. Nomad wouldn’t join the Organization. I noticed many of them had weapons strapped to their bodies. Some of them – including Nomad – had war paint on their faces. These were rebels preparing to stand up to the Organization. They laughed at my surrender and pointed me to my mom and sister. I was shocked by how similar Chelsea looked to my mom. It had been a year since I saw them, and Chelsea changed quite a bit. I hugged each of them several times. By this point, I was already in tears. Just finding one of them would’ve been enough to make the past year of running worth it.

I headed straight for the secret room, hoping to find my dad and Austin. My mom grabbed my hand before I could reveal the entrance. She hadn’t told the rebels about it yet, and in case one of them really was working with the Organization, she didn’t want them to know. She said she didn’t know if my dad was awake right now, but he would come talk to me soon. I sat down with them in the kitchen to wait. My mom explained that she and Chelsea had been separated from my dad and Austin early on, but they were reunited at the start of winter when they made it back to the house. She spared few details of their experiences… The Organization was trying to construct something to control the minds of the human race, but the details of this weren’t exactly clear. I made a mental note to ask Nomad about this later.

...

They probably wouldn’t see me again… I could come back and find all of them dead. We went outside for some reason and sat in the backyard. The sun was already setting, so it was too late for me to leave. I would have to stay for the night. After I finished talking to my family, I turned back to the house. A number of the rebels were staring at me. As Apheri appeared at my side, I put my hand on her black hilt.

“The Organization will pay,” I whispered.

That sounds exactly what I would be doing, too, Zukin.

It seems like every time I fall behind on your dreams, there's an interesting gem waiting to be found.

EDIT: Here's the relevant portion...

WOW! That's amazing!

I didn't have access to a computer or the internetz last night so I couldn't post the dreams, but here they are.

Reunion with Akira

I was at a rave that was just beginning. People were setting up tents. There wasn't many people there yet.

I left the building and stood on the sidewalk. I saw Akira walking down the street with some of his friends. Wait...HOLY SHIT IT'S AKIRA!

I ran into his arms and gave him the biggest hug ever!!!

I asked him if he could stay awhile and rave.

He said that he couldn't stay too long, because they were on a trek to a destination.

We went inside the building and danced together. It was still near empty but the music was just beginning to play. It was oldschool EDM. We danced together and put our hands up to the lights. I was so happy to finally be with him. I didn't want him to have to leave again, I wanted to stay in this moment forever. He told me that he had to leave again and I watched him walk away.

Some other people came in, and started dancing. I found some kandi that I had made a long time ago on the floor. I had given it to Mike, and it looked as if he tried to add onto it but it didn't really work. I wondered if Mike would be here tonight.

"Do you know if Mike is coming tonight?" I asked Moo, as if she'd actually know who he is.

"We were actually going to go and find him tonight. It seems as if he has gotten himself into some trouble."

I went with AT, Moo, and a few others to find Mike. We were completely off the grid and somewhere really sketchy.

"He's surprisingly easy to find these days. Just look for the rundown buildings," Moo whispered as we climbed the fire escape of an abandoned skyscraper. The lights were flickering a sickly green and there were puddles between the flights of stairs. There was graffiti on the walls and my shoes splashed in the water as we continued.

We exited the staircase and found ourselves in a dim room. There was a bad odor in the air. In the corner was Mike, huddled on the ground. There were a few syringes on the floor. Moo ran over to him and we tried to help get him out of here.

Real life - Akira texted me and told me that he had dreamed of me that night also.

Sneaky, Hanging, Surprise Spiders

I was in my bedroom when I saw a spider reel itself down. Oh, spider!

I saw another spider do the same. Hmm, two sneaky spiders.

And then I saw 5...15...20 more of these spiders just hanging there. And I decided to sleep upstairs instead.

OK so tonight I will resume the D-Experiment. I think there might be a connection between the experiment and the awful leg cramps I was getting, so if it happens again then I'm stopping, because leg cramps suck.

Man Eating Fairy

I was in a tent full of kittens.



The dream changed a bit, and I was touring a carnival where they were growing fairies. They grew them in little petri dishes. The fairies looked like little jelly fishes.

I was now watching the dream like a movie.

A man was watching the little fairies grow. They grew wings and dove into the water like aquatic butterflies that glowed. The man followed the fairy into the water. It was adept at graciously swimming through cracks beneath doors and out windows.

The man continued to follow the fairy as it grew into shades of blue. He kept seeing a red hooded man, but just flashes of him.

The man promised the fairy that if she would follow him, that the man would show her a wonderful paradise.

The man didn't know of a paradise, though. He just wanted the fairy. The fairy followed him as the man kept running, seeing flashes of the red hooded man.

They came to an abandoned amusement park and stood on a broken carousel.

"Is this what you call paradise?" The fairy sneered.

The man stumbled on his words for a second, before taking out a gun.

The red hooded figure came into full existence and before the man could shoot the little fairy, the red hooded figure instantly killed him.

Sparring or Defending

I was sparring or defending myself from someone in a dim bar. I remember that the guy was HUGE.

#4-dS4(2-2)

I had two charlies horses when I woke up this morning. Both at the same time.



The only thing I really noticed that was different for this night was that I had very strange auditory hypnagogia. Usually, my HH is people talking or the sound of piano music. Tonight, it sounded very...metal.

A lot of the sounds I heard were sounds like this:
‪Alpha Brainwave Entrainment - Isochronic Tones‬‏ - YouTube

This is very strange for me.

I forgot to add that as I was falling asleep, I saw words written across my vision. All of them had malicious or hopeless messages.

Dreams really weren't too out of the ordinary.

Eating at the Instructor's House

I was eating dinner at my karate instructor's house. I was helping her out with the dishes. She was having a party. I don't really remember much else.

Dissecting President Lincoln

I dug up Lincoln's body so that I could dissect it. I thought nothing of the laws about this.

Once I had dug up the body, I found a lot of little odds and ends. There were miniature skulls surrounding it, one of them was red. I decided to hang up the carcass on the wall so that everyone could see it. I started freaking out because I realized that what I did was highly illegal.

OK maybe that dream was a little strange, but it wasn't too far out for me.

Sneaky Corporate Offices

I was working in an office and I noticed that there were people all on the outside of the windows looking in, watching. I couldn't escape.

I think I'm on to something...

"Movie like dream on rocky beach...not good"

I'm not sure what I meant by this, because the only thing I remember from that dream is a rocky beach, and a really low pitched scary voice.

Scalpel's Sword

My friend and I were climbing a mountain. It was supposed to be like Mt LeConte, but it was a lot steeper and treacherous. There were more places to lose footing and fall off the side of the mountain and more things to have to navigate.

We made it to a section of the mountain designated as the top for those who could not continue. It was the true top of the mountain, but it wasn't the highest point. To get to the highest point, one would have to climb on man made structures, like an obstacle course.

Having reached the true top, we looked up and saw what looked to be a net above us. A little bit passed us were rocks that were attached to the net. It looked dangerous to walk under.

My friend was really paranoid about the rocks falling, so I went first to show her that it would be OK.

Once we made it pass that, there was a wooden staircase that went both up and down. I remembered from another dream, maybe a year ago, that if you went down then you would come into a room with a screaming lady who was trapped and clawed things into the wall.

I'm trying to search for this dream in my DJ...but my DJ is becoming too big to easily search for things anymore. That is really annoying. >.> Anyways, I wish I could prove it, but I find it really cool now how some dreams are just coming together like a puzzle.

I continued to climb up the stairs. I came into a room I had to climb up awkwardly placed stairs, three feet apart, to press a button and open a box that had a hint for me.

Once I had done so, I read the hint. It read: Go into the bar. Tell the woman that you would like a Scalpel's Sword. Be ready to fight.

I found the bar. I looked at the woman, and whispered Scalpel's Sword. She knew exactly what I meant, and leaped up from the counter and we began fighting, I woke up though.

SHAPESHIFTING!!!

I WISH I remembered ALL of this dream.

I had VERY high lucidity in this dream, and VERY high clarity.

I was thinking about what I should do with this lucid dream, when I realized that I didn't have any lucid goals!

I didn't know what the Nightstalker Task was, I didn't know what the Task of the Month was, I didn't feel like going to the MDRC , so I had to decide something.

I decided on practicing shapeshifting.

I was standing in the grass, looking at my shadow.

I watched as my shadow became the shape of a lion or a tiger, and felt the transformation. It was wicked.

There was someone else there with me, but I forget who.

I remember running around as a lion/tiger, feeling how strange this felt.

Parasitic Invasion

I was in the store with my mother. I kept finding interesting pins on the ground, one said "It's all about the PLUR!" I liked the pin, and stuck it to my shirt.

I was heading back...When everything went silent. Background noise - GONE. Everyone around me - FROZEN.

It was like something out of The Happening.

I stood there for a moment, completely confused. I did a reality check but everything came back normal.

The lights flickered.

I slowly continued to walk until I found mom. She was not frozen like the other people.

I tried talking to her, and then the power went out. Everything was black.

When the lights came back on she was gone, and standing in front of me was a woman with worms coming out of her. She looked like Medusa, but all over.

I decided to GTFO at that point.

The dream skips, and now I am living in a hotel with a friend of mine. The parasitic worm invasion has spread and we are trying to keep it out. It's dark outside, and dark inside. The power has gone out, making visibility dim.

We hear creaking, warping noises coming from outside the room. We know that they are near us.

In the darkness I barely see the worm infested humans creeping towards us.

We decide it is time to go and set this HOTEL ON FIRE.

We quickly grab our things in the darkness and try to run past the masses of worms. We almost make it out, when I realize that I have to go back in to get my car keys.

I'm having trouble running quick enough. We put a bomb in the hotel so that it would explode at any minute. I'm worrying about my friend outside the hotel, hoping she is safe.

I grab my keys and dart out the door. I look back at the hotel...and instantly wish I hadn't.

The hotel...the entire freaking thing...was covered in GIANT worms. Worms that were boring through the walls and coming back out to get us.

I unlock my car door...But my friend has been seized by one of the worms!

I grab a (convenient) blowtorch and blast the worms away. We pile in the car, and the hotel EXPLODES and leaves behind a giant mushroom cloud.

We drive into the city, where nearly half of the population is infested. We decide to gather some healthy individuals so we can band together and fight them off.

We kill masses of parasitic worm people, until I lock eyes with a girl sitting on a small set of stairs with a few other people. She has curly red hair, and looks to be in her 20s.

She instantly gets up and rushes over to us. She attacks skillfully and we realize that she is the creator of the parasitic worm invasion. If we can kill her, this madness can end.

Once we finish her off, her skill shrivels and we find a key in her heart. It looks as if someone stabbed it into her. We wonder what the key unlocks.

Zukin or Zukin?

I'm at Joann Fabrics. I'm deciding whether I should cosplay Queen Zukin or Evil Zukin. Evil Zukin is cuter by miles, but I really like the story behind Queen Zukin. I have trouble deciding.
