I've had the most wonderful idea! It came to me when a friend of mine told me they were reporting one of my dreams to a moderator, "reason: Too epic to exist."
After hearing that, I thought to myself, "Wow, I wish there was a way I could share this amazing experience to a much wider audience than those who read my DJ, but without seeming really needy and posting it in its own thread outside the Gallery. . . Hmm, I bet there are others out there that want the exact same thing!" And so, this thread was born.
The Goal:
Below, I hope to accumulate an ever growing number of quality posts sharing the most epic and amazing experiences this community has to offer; the very best of the best, if you will.
The Rules:
Here's where things get slightly different from your average "Post Your Experience Here" thread. To promote readability and maximum promotion potential, I've devised a set of rules to help facilitate getting your experience out there. Obviously, no one is going to stop you from doing your own thing, but it's probably in your best interest to adhere to them.
They are, as follows:
Only one entry per contributor, so make it a good one.
Provide a link back to your original DJ entry, if possible.
Provide a brief one to two paragraph summary of the dream.
Follow your summary with the entry itself.
Wrap your entry in spoiler tags.
And there you have it! I can't wait to see what the community has to offer.
A horde of missile-launching, sword-wielding dragons attack my neighborhood. I calmly show them what happens when DCs mess with my dream, giving them a taste of my powers and skill with a blade. Eventually, one of the dragons pushes me over the edge, which results in--well, I'll let you find out what happens for yourself.

Dragon Slayer (DILD)
★★★★★
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
They're probably going to die.
I watch the dragons slowly descend upon two neighbors from inside my doorway. Fearing for my own safety, I shut the red metal door and casually step away.
"Hurry up and get over here." My brother states from his fancy wooden seat at the dining room table.
"There's dragons out there, man."
"Don't worry about that." He brushes me off, as I take a seat next to him. Plopping down in my chair, he starts talking about something in his usual way, but I can't help thinking about that horde of dragons, the ones from the LD I just had a few moments ago before my. . .
DEILD attempt! Right! This is a dream! I realize excitedly. Taking a look at my brother, I wonder if it's Burmes. "Hey, Burke." He looks at me as if I've got three heads. "Sorry, Burnes--Burmes right?"
"No, not exactly." He states coldly.
"Well, whoever you are, you're pretty convincing. You had me fooled for sure." I stand up and head to the door. I figured I'd help out those people in the court. Those dragons did refer to me as prey, after all.
"Where are you going? Hey! Get back here!" My brother shouts at me.
"I'm alright, thanks." I respond kindly, opening the front door to reveal a dragon hanging off the awning over my porch. Leaping out the door, I grab onto its head just as it begins to launch itself toward the center of the court, where those two people still were. Utilizing Super Strength, I break its neck, sending it hurdling onto my car-less, sloped, concrete driveway where it slides down a bit before stopping, dead in its tracks. The rest of the dragons were quick to notice.
One, two, three, four, five, six. . . and probably more just around the corner. Better get started, then. Taking to the air, I pull out a bow from behind my back, and grab an arrow from much the same place. With a burst of will, I light the tip of my arrow ablaze, draw my bow, and aim it at the heart of the nearest dragon, 50 meters away.
FWANG!
My shot is right on target, hitting its mark in the exact center of the dragon's chest. Stunned, the dragon looks down at the arrow protruding form its deep red and orange scaled body. It stumbles forward, but doesn't go all the way down. That's cause enough for me to switch to my Barret .50 Cal. Sniper Rifle. I take a quick shot without scoping, but it goes rather wide. Resigning myself to obscuring my vision for a short while, I peer through the scope, line up the dragon's head in the cross-hairs, and let off a round, which creates a rather large hole in the thing's forehead. Before it can hit the ground, and after dealing with gun's recoil, I put another bullet through its skull for good measure. Yeah, there's no way it's getting up from that.
Off a ways from all this, I see and hear a dragon howl ominously into the afternoon sky. The narrator in my head explains that this particular dragon was upset because his last living brother had just been killed. I was also informed that the dead dragon in question was the one whose neck I had snapped moments ago. They probably shouldn't have started screwing with my dream, if they didn't want me to fight back.
Dropping the gun, I pull out a weapon from a more civilized age (No, not that, you silly Star Wars fan, you). My steel Katana glints luminously in the slowly failing sunlight. The mass of dragons--plus one enraged ex-brother--smoothly move in my direction. I too move forward, as one of them takes out a missile launcher. Oookay? I think as he fires it, sending a missile careening toward me. . . very very slowly, I might add. Watching the missile sputter out halfway and drop to the ground, isn't too surprising. However, I don't expect the resulting explosion to be as large as it is. If I had been any lower in altitude, this could have ended badly. I need to deal with this before things get even more out of hand, and if there's anything I've learned about efficiently dealing with large groups of enemies from my HvZ exploits, it's that you should always rush them before they rush you.
Shouting ferociously, I fly at high speeds toward a dragon to my left. Raising my sword high above my head I scream, "Getsuga Tenshou!" tearing at the air before me in a dramatic swipe. A blue cyclical wall of energy erupts from my blade and flies forward, hitting the dragon and creating a huge gash along its entire body. Feeling confident that would be enough to put that one out of the fight, I turn my attentions to the others around me, just in time to block a claw from removing my head. I back off from my attacker, and start to fly around him, being sure to make a note of the positions of the other dragons. Right then, that asshole with the missile launcher tries his luck at blowing me out of the sky again, but my next maneuver will put me well out of range of the blast.
Flash Stepping into striking range, I unleash a flurry of slashes on my attacker, before Flash Stepping to the other combatants and doing the same. I finish just in time to feel the shock-wave of the explosion behind me. Unfortunately, my strikes barely break through the dragons' skin, and I'm forced backward yet again in order to avoid being cleaved in half. I let off another Getsuga, but this one is deflect by. . . A dragon with two gigantic sabers? Fuck me.
I strafe aerially in a wide arc, carefully watching not only this new threat, but all those still in the fight. It's then I notice the second blade in my off hand. How'd that get there? I wonder for a moment before realizing how unimportant that information is. All I know is that now I should be able to take on that monstrosity slightly below me.
Changing my flight path, I dart diagonally toward the dragon with the giant twin blades. "Getsuga Tenshou!" I yell, but my blade fails to perform the technique. Ignoring my seeming lack of control, I engage her in direct combat. Yet, as it turns out, fighting with two swords is a lot harder than you'd think, even when acting on instinct. Despite my best efforts, each attack I make, no matter how complex, is subsequently parried and met by a counter. What's worse is some of my opponent's attacks actually manage to nick me a bit. What gets me is that here's this target five times my size, I can't even land a single blow, but she manages to make contact with my skin on several occasions!
"Come on!" she taunts me, "Is this the best you've got?!"
"No, actually." I state as coolly as I can in my agitation.
"Well, then bring it!"
Jumping backward, I warn her, "Remember, you asked for it." Then, throwing my arms out to the side, I proclaim, "Ban--kai!"
FWWOOOOM!
The energy deep within me bursts forth in a remarkable fashion, violently throwing about the air around me. My dual blades are now wider, more ornate in design, and encased entirely in glowing, bright, yellow energy. But that isn't the only new thing I have to show off. Moving toward her, my speed is so great that the world blurs around me and she herself seems to be stuck in time. I circle her, once, twice, three times, four times in less than a second, with each pass I cut into her with a volley of slices faster than even I can make out.
"I'm not quite done, yet." I comment with a grin as I slow down enough for her to register where I am. "Reverse Bankai. . . Resurrection!"
At that, my body is covered in white light as I immediately transform. I switch to the third person to get a good look at my new form. I'm completely shirtless, with smooth pale skin, flared white sleeves sporting two lavender and orange squares overlaid on top, and white bone-like gloves. My shorts are also pure white, and my feet and lower legs are fitted in a bone-like material as well; they too bear the colored squares. My medium length green and blue hair spikes out to the side, flowing subtly in the warm twilight air. A metal loop is affixed to my stomach, from which a thick silver chain is passed through. On the end of that chain is my new weapon: a pair of red marble nun-chucks with gold plated tips.
"But that's still not all I've got lined up." The dragon's eyes are visibly wider now as they continue struggling to follow my movements. Reaching my hand to my face, I rip down my Vizard mask. I feel a cold wave flow out from the center of my being; my desire to utterly destroy this creature rises as the numbing current overtakes me. Allowing myself to act on the impulse, I Flash Step in front of the target of these urges, bringing my weapon down hard across her head.
BOOOM!
The explosion from my strike sends overpowering vibrations throughout my neighborhood. Standing behind my opponent now, I slow down time for the both of us and explain to her why she's missing half her face and falling to the ground, while I'm completely unharmed.
"It seems every time this weapon makes an impact with something, it lets out a fairly powerful blast. I'd say the actual force is around ten times as strong as what those missiles your friend was shooting could produce. Luckily for me, this new form has a built in perk that protects me from attacks below a certain level. Unfortunately for you, its limit is high enough to let me use something that devastating as my main attack. I don't think you're body will be able to handle it like mine can. Let's find out, shall we?"
Resuming the flow of the battle, I move back in front of her and begin my assault--and what an assault it is. Every blow from my viciously spinning nun-chucks is coupled with an enormous explosion. Smoke, fire, and smoldering flesh flies around me as I continue my attack, each strike taking a good sized piece of her body with it. She drops her blades, but I'm not just going to let such massive weapons go to waste. Snatching them from the air, I use a bit of chain from my stomach to bind the sabers together, creating a pair of sword-chucks three times the size of my body. Expertly utilizing both weapons, it's only a short time before all that's left of the dragon is an unrecognizable husk of meat and bone.
My brother comes up to me, his mannerisms completely different from before. "Well, if that doesn't scare them off, I don't know what will."
Nodding to whom may have been Burmes, I turn to the rest of the dragons. Staring them down, shock splayed against their collective faces, I instruct them, "Run, while you still can."
The dream fades as I watch these beasts who once thought of me as prey vacate the area with a hurried purpose.
omg how on earth did you not explode in flames when you used vizard mask in your hollow form!?
Haha, well, all of those are just a form of energy/dream control. Bankai releases a ton of pent up energy, which makes it easier for me to do a bunch of cool stuff. Resurrection is my way of harnessing and focusing all of that power into something more usable, like a weapon. And the Vizard mask draws out the dark stuff that makes it easier for me to go about killing things.
most longest lucid dream. it was very vivid. but I had little dream control. some interesting things happened one the less.
Spoiler for lucid:
Searching for Asuka Lucid
As the last dream ended I focused right away on entering a dream once more. Instead of waking up all the way, I immediately found myself in another dream already lucid. (I believe the correct term for what I did was DEILD).
Immediately I looked at my hands. The looked like children's hands. I look around at where I ma. I'm in a huge mall. I walk a ways and remember to look for Asuka. I try to yell her name but no sound comes out of my mouth. I walka round a bit more and discover I am able to yell her name out. I call a few times, but she doesn't show up. a bit flustered I begin looking at all the women Dream characters walking around. The thought crosses my mind that I could just mack on one of them to make Asuka jealous, maybe then she'd appear. I then decide against it and keep walking. I find a staircase and walk up it. I come to an area where there is an elevator. I look around the area a bit more and Decide I should find a mirror to use as a gateway to my dream house (Where Asuka probably was at this time). I don't see any mirrors around.
I then figure I could try to open a portal. I forget pinky pointing is used to see energy. But I try with my left pinky to point ahead and open a portal. When I see my hand in front of me I can see my index is also pointing. I'm accidentally making a devil sign. I manage to pull the index back and keep pointing to open a portal. Nothing happens So I follow some guys into the elevator.
In the elevator there is a slightly reflective surface. I try to use that As a mirror to summon my inner world. I focus on the feeling of my house and Asuka but the reflection doesn't change. I then try to see if I can push through the metal part of the elevator. My fingers press hard but nothing happens. I focus harder on the feeling and they begin to push through slowly. I manage to open a small hole in the metal. I peer through expecting to see my inner world, but instead All I see is this haze of white and black. I try to enter through the hole But I can't seem to fit.
I give up that and turn around. Now I'm in a street outside but I seem to not notice the transition. I look around and don't see any houses that I recognize that could be my home. I find myself on a bike and pedal a few blocks. I got onto a highway and then later enter another neighborhood. I wonder how much longer the dream will last.
When I enter the next block, I see the road splits off. One way goes up a hill. The other one turns down. I remember Mornings Son had once seen a winding steep road that led down my house. I figured my house was up that way. As if on cue Two men from an intersecting street nearby began shooting at me with a gun each. They looked like Government agents. Black suit, boots and tie. They even had black sunglasses to boot. "Remote viewers!" I thought to myself. "How dare they interrupt my search for Asuka."
I look towards them, for a split second I'm unsure of how to kill them. As I look I either float fast or I am instantly teleported to where they are. I find myself crushing the windpipe of the one man's throat with my right hand, while simultaneously bludgeoning him in the head with his own gun. In a few seconds he's on the ground and not moving. no use beating a dead horse so I find myself at the other one killing him in the same fashion. He takes longer to kill, but once he's dead some of his blood is on my hand. I lick it up. I teleport to my bike and continue. The fight had me forget my reasoning of my house being up on the hill, So I turn left down a wide winding street and enter a street with rows of stores and restaurants.
I look around and see a bunch of women mannequins. I get off my bike and a green flag catches my eye. I then try to change it's shape or design by looking away at it and then looking back. I can't really tell if it changed or not. I shrug and teleport to my bike. I turn a corner and...
... find myself back in the mall on top of the staircase where the elevator is. Back to square one! I focus on my feeling of Asuka once more and look for a portal. Nothing! I then try again and see if there's a small hole to go through and go via the way carlos taught me. Nothing. I then focus on a small ledge and try to allow my awareness to drift there. I tried too hard so It didn't work. A slightly chubby women with glasses bumps into me. My glasses fall off and I pick them up. They are bent. The woman Apologizes and offers to bend the frames back. I then watch her as she fixes them. I try them on but they are dirty. She pulls them from my face and then cleans them with her breath. As she's wiping them I get dizzy and wake up.

The Earth melts while I enjoy a chocolate cake in the moon (MILD)
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID
I was at home, in my room. It was day and I was going to leave somewhere with my wife. I became lucid instantly
My wife was ready to go, but I walked around home to make sure my dream was stable enough. I had a small flight around home, but nothing fancy, I levitated a bit and flew around.
I told my wife, "Hold on, this is a Dream and I'm lucid. I want to make it stable first!!" She looked at me like if I was nuts. I remember that I could blast the Earth and destroy it (for the "End of the World" task of the year) I rose my hand and created an energy blast. However, the blast was not stable so I decided to stop and hold tighter to the dream.
I remembered that a user in this forum had in his signature "Pray" as a goal within his lucid dream. I prayed for a few moments to accomplish it (It's not my goal, but I wanted to do it anyway)
I appeared at a theme park. I enjoyed the theme park, rode a few things, walked around and observed how fun were having other DC. I remember the park was very vivid. The sky was very blue, the theme park was crowded of people and I could see a lot of detail.
I remember about doing the task of the year. I thought that a gladiator fight would be easier as I was in a theme park. I started to look for gladiators. I could not find any so I asked a policeman and to a couple of DC. They directed me and I kept walking without any success. I found a kiosk store for Cricket Wireless. One of the employees grabbed my arm and I pushed him abruptly. The other employee told him, "Hold on. Not yet." I asked him if he knew were the amphitheater was. He pointed me to it and asked me, "So, what cell phone do you have now?" I replied, "I have a HTC Mytouch. Cricket does not offer such phone, so sorry." Both salesman appeared sad.
I kept walking and I found a weird restaurant were I was indicated. I asked one of the employees about the gladiators. She told me, "Yeah. It's here." I entered the restaurant and walked down a few stairs. I got to a room with not much light. The decoration was old school. There were a few tables around. The tables were round with a candle in the middle. At the end, there was a small theater. There were Mariachis dancing and singing in Spanish. I asked another employee about the gladiators and she told me it was going to be next. I was a little annoyed because I did not want to wait, I was afraid to wake up. I realized that if I saw the gladiator fight, it would not be valid. I was somewhere in the future and I had to be in the actual time in order to accomplish it, so I just flew away.
I was walking with another friend. I told him I wanted to do the Task of the Year. He looked at me with a weird face. I decided that as I was in the future, I could complete the task, "End of the World" I knew that it was OK if I destroyed the Earth in order to provoke the End of the World. I remembered I could do energy blasts.
I flew to a small building and my friend did as well. I've made an energy blast twice big as a basketball. It looked like this:
The blast was intense, but it had not much color and I felt it was like a bubble. I threw it in the water and I saw it vanish inside the crust of the Earth. My friend laughed at and and claimed it did nothing. I was sure it would damage the Earth but I did not know how, so I told him to hold on.
Suddenly, I see bubbles in the water and my friend says, "Oh... how scary." I replied, "Oh yeah? Just hold!" Suddenly, a giant gaiser showed up. The water was very hot and it reached the sky. My friend said, "Oh.. a geiser. Like if you are going to destroy the Earth like that." A few DC freaked out, but not many. I told him, "The gaiser will raise the Earth Temperature... but one gaiser may not be enough for you, how about several?" My friend stopped laughing and started to worry.
I threw several energy blasts and the same effect happened. All the DC were freaking out, screaming and running. There were several gaisers and the whole atmosphere was turning into a wall of vapor. The heat skyrocketed and the North Pole started to melt. The water level started to raise very fast.
I had an unfinished building on my back, so I started to climb it the same way an ape would do it
My friend came with me until I reached the top of the building. The water level was on my head, so I decided to swim to a taller building. The water was very hot, but it was bearable. I asked my friend if we would have time to swim before everything starts to boil. I get tired of dealing with it and I just jump and reach the moon. My friend followed me. My friend had a chocolate cake in his hands. He claimed it was from his country.
I was observing the fate of the Earth from the moon. The Earth was all blue, I could not see any of the continents. A huge mass of clouds covered the entire earth. This mass of clouds was thinker and thinker until I witnessed the Earth melting itself. The whole planet melted and disappeared.
I was in the mood, enjoying the cake proud of my accomplishment. Neil Armstrong came to my mind, and I though in summoning him, however, I remembered that I was only allowed one task per dream so I passed.
I observed the moon to see if I found someone such Raven or Wakingnomad, but I saw no one but my friend. I could see a few vagrant images from videogames floating around the moon. I also saw a pikachu's head.
I was happy enjoying the moon but I decided it was time to wake up and write down the dream. It passed a lot of time and I was afraid of forgetting it. I summoned a bed, lied down and closed my eyes.
I had a false awakening without lucidity. I told my wife I had to write down my dream. I ran out of my bed and went to the backyard. I sat in a iron chair and used an iron table (classic white garden iron table) I opened my DJ and it was full, no room to write the dream down. I was afraid I would forget the dream so I called my wife for another journal.
She told me that before getting my first journal, I had to remove all the cash and credit cards attached to my dream journal (There were credit cards attached like additional pages of the journal and business cards from several companies) I grabbed a few $20 bills and put them in my pocket while I laughed. The dream vanishes and I wake up.
All of these lucids are pretty nice. I would love to actually ride a dragon or at least interact with one, likewise I thought searching for Asuka was interesting and I loved how your friend stopped laughing and started worrying along with eating cake on the moon

Any dream with Nerimeno is always the greatest kind! And here is my most recent one with him:
Spoiler for Fighting, yay!:
Back to sleep.
FA, go out of bed and RC, teleport back to the TARDIS, would give it another try, so entered the TARDIS and looked again, then teleported. When going out of the TARDIS, realised that I was once again, in the same planet, so just crashed out of the house I was at and then stood there in the roof, looked around and as expected, saw nothing around, what a let-down again, I wasn’t interested in this dream anymore, was going to teleport when I felt an overwhelming presence, it must be him! I looked up, where the small dragon was, and there I saw him, standing and looking down at me, already with his wings out, so majestic.
As expected, the excitement took over me and I just had to fight him, so transformed my body and teleported in front of him and tried to pierce, the attack was dodged and then his tail was in front of my face, so used puppet and got my head out of the way while grabbing his tail and throwing him away “Nerimeno, being so long!” “What are you doing here?” “What the, I’m here to fight you, of course!” “You never change...” something on his character seemed off, and I had no idea what it was, so just stood there for a while, looking at him flapping his wings, waging his tail and getting his energy back in “As amazing as always, I see, why are you refusing to fight?” “That, I can’t tell you that” I was getting impatient, and let my real energy out while transforming fully “Only you know of this form... don’t make it go to waste” “Damn, don’t make it difficult!” I was too impatient now, made roots on the house and attacked with earth whips, he destroyed every single one of them and then appeared in front of me, with his hand pointing at my chest, then attacking, wrapped blood around his hand and then started digesting it, he used energy to push me away and then started flying away, I was eating the building to heal the wound. Once done start to pursue him, now we were on a different place, in a random, really big city, we were flying high, so you could see nearly the whole city from our current location.
Nerimeno got his wings extended, and then the fight started, he was once again, in front of me, I barely managed to block the whip-tail attack he had done, and was thrown away, before I was done being pushed away, he was behind me and was charging an attack, turned and started the puppet dance, was trying to block the power he was going to use, but it failed, there was a giant wind explosion, had to protect myself using a hair ball and was still pushed back, could feel damage done, too, and then could feel Nerimeno above me, moved the hair away and flew back to see his hand pass down and pierce through my defences, then used some spells myself, wind blades that he broke down, and then was in front of him using puppet and drill, he was dodging the attacks, but not for long, wrapped blood around his hand and pulled, then started to attack him like crazy “Blasting the clouds away isn’t enough, you know it!” he smiled and then moved his wings towards me, had to dodge both the attacks and then wrapped my hair around them, then was nearly pierced by the tail, used my clothes to protect from the attack and then used a gravity shot at him, he ate the shot as if it were nothing, then puked an energy ball back, had to teleport away... wait, why was teleportation working against him! “What is this non-sense; you are giving me an advantage!” “Shut up and fight” the blast from the energy ball was big, not only the clouds were pushed away this time, the air itself was, and the vacuum created became a void-bomb, was being absorbed, so started teleporting air back, and while I was at that, Nerimeno was already at my side attacking, started to block with claws and then took a bite of his hand, there was some damage on his scales “How comes you want me to shut up?” he didn’t answer and continued attacking “I mean, I always talk and you don’t mind” he was getting closer to me, and I had to use hair-tentacles to push him back, didn’t last for long though, he cut through the tentacles and got to where I was “So you are trying to cancel my sound attacks, interesting” a seal appeared above me and started absorbing the air, so I put my hand over on it and then closed it. That was a bad move, he cut my hand while I was at that, but used the cut hand to attack him and wrap it around him, then cut my hand further and got a new one grow, “Come on Nerimeno, play seriously, cutting and burning is a waste of time on me, you know it” I was now attacking him from all sides and starting to use teleportation, when he himself teleported away and started shooting fireballs down “What do you think you are doing?” “Cleaning the area, if we are fighting seriously they will be wiped soon regardless” I was happy, but not happening “Don’t be silly, doing that will only make you waste energy and you will kill someone innocent” “I don’t care” “Fine...” he made a flare spell (Flare as in the FF thing) and then shot it down, at the same time I was doing an ice one, then blasted his fire magic, the explosion still destroyed parts of the city though, “Why did you cancel my attack?” “You know me, don’t ask the ridiculous” he teleported behind me and pushed me down, somehow that made me wake up, so I was unable to teleport back or stop my fall.
