Thread: Awesome Lucid! Me & Freddy Kruger vs. The Martians!

I normally only post my dreams in my dream journal, but I thought this one was particularly cool and worth sharing here.

I had this lucid dream morning after using the HILD (hypnosis) technique last night and eating a lot of cheese before sleeping, and out of the 38 lucid dreams I've had, this has to be one of the coolest.

This isn't the first time that I've summoned Freddy Kruger into a dream. He's actually a pretty cool guy if you can make friends with him. He's not very intelligent, but he knows what he's doing in the dream world and he knows his lucid dreaming skills. The trick is to make him aware that you're also lucid and that you're not scared of him. When he realises that he cannot scare you, he will join you. Anyways, the dream:

War Of The Worlds: Me And Freddy Kruger vs. The Martians

I woke up in my room, knowing that I was dreaming. The room was somewhat different to normal. It was larger, and my bed was in the place that it used to be when I was very young; parallel to that of my brothers with a gap between them. Everything was dark and lit only by a slight glow from somewhere that I did not stop to identify.

I got out of my bed, standing between my bed and my brother's bed and walked around my bed. I walked over to the desk where my computer is by the door and picked up my Sonic plushy and then sat down on the floor. As I sat down, it was as though I became very small, as though I was very young. The desk was so high above me that I was unable to reach it. I realised that the Sonic plushy was actually my Mickey Mouse plushy and stood up again to put it back on the desk. I became my normal size again upon standing up.

I decided to try to make a woman appear behind the door to my room as I opened it, but I remembered the hypnosis from the night before where I had told my subconcious that I want to learn something from my lucid dream. I was worried that trying to induce dream sex wasn't useful and the idea would backfire on me. I contemplated a horrible scenario where it went wrong and opening the door revealed Freddy Kruger behind it instead.

But, "What's the worst that can happen in a dream?" I thought to myself as I opened the door, and sure enough, Freddy Kruger was on the other side. I panicked and tried to close the door, but he pushed it open and before I was able to do so. I tried to run, but there was nowhere to go and I got extremely scared as Freddy took a swing at me with the knives on his hands.

A false awakening occurred and I lost the lucidity. Everything was as it had been before the false awakening, with the room bigger and my bed in the wrong place. The only difference was that now it was light outside. Initially I was very scared about the idea of going back to sleep for fear of meeting Freddy again, but this soon wore off and I lay down.

Instantly, everything was black even though my eyes were open. I knew that I must be dreaming again. I opened my eyes to see the room within the dream. It was still the same, but there was no sign of Freddy and I felt safe.

I noted the difference in how my body feels during a dream, hoping to use this recognition to become lucid more often in the future. I approached the large window at the end of my bed and looked out.

Outside, the sky was a orange-red colour, and it appeared that my window looked down over a very large, somewhat futuristic city scape with modern, clean, sleek looking and oddly shaped buildings amongst trees and grass. Everything seemed to have a sparkly, glittery quality that didn't look like anything from reality. I opened the large window, noting that it doesn't actually open in reality, but did so in my dream. I looked down, contemplating flying out when I felt a hand being placed on my left shoulder.

I jumped and turned to see who it was, but already knowing inside me who I was going to see. Sure enough, Freddy Kruger was back, but without his hat this time. I moved backwards, expectant of his attack and quickly realised that he couldn't harm me because it was a dream. I closed my eyes and let him take a swing at me. I felt his fingers jab into my left side, but he wasn't wearing knives and there was no pain.

I laughed and he laughed too. I said something to Freddy like "Hey, you're actually really cool you know" and he said "Yeah, I was only messing with ya', lets fly out of here".

Freddy approached the open window first and I held on to his back. I noted that the sky had now become a realistic shade of morning blue. We jumped head first out the window. It seemed that we both had some influence over the direction of flight. We flew over and around what appeared to be a large shopping complex amongst the smaller buildings. I then remembered the hypnosis from the night before and my intention to try to learn something from my lucid dream. I asked Freddy; "Is there anything you can teach me or show me?". Freddy just said "No, not really." and I was a little disappointed.

As I looked across the city scape that stretched for as far as I could see, I started to think about the movie War Of The Worlds and what it might look like if one of the martian machines was in the dream. I willed the martians into the dream. As I turned my head, I was surprised to see the martian machines stood high above the buildings in the distance. I said to Freddy; "Hey, let's go and check that out."

We flew towards one of the martian machines. The first machine looked smaller and relatively more primitive than the ones from the movie. The legs of the tripod were larger and did not appear to be as flexible. I was hoping that we would be able to get close and examine the machine in detail, but the machine began to move and fire the heat ray at the buildings below.

In a change of mood, I decided that it would be fun to fight the martians and save the Earth. Me and Freddy flew high above the tripod machine, looking down at it. I pressed my fingers together to form an upside down 'V' in front of us and told Freddy to do the same. He pressed his fingers together behind mine, and our combined powers began to generate a ball of blue-white light at the tip of my fingers. A transparent beam of a similar colour was emitted from the light in the direction that our hands were pointing. As we pointed at the same position for a longer period of time, the beam grew stronger and brighter, but it would weaken when we did not remain steady or when our target was lost.

Eventually we managed to remain steady enough for the beam to reach full power, at which point the ball of light was quickly released, travelled along the beam and hit the middle of one of the tripod legs. There was a huge firery explosion which also destroyed the other two legs, and the martian machine fell to the ground in a firery shiny metal heap, with black smoke flowing into the sky above.

We looked around and spotted a second machine. This one was much bigger than the first, towering far above our current height, with three legs that were several large buildings apart. It appeared to far more advanced than even those machines shown in the War of the Worlds movie. The head that stood on top was huge and looked very complex and detailed. The legs of the tripod were long, thin and very flexible and it was able to move much more effectively. I liked the idea of a challenge, so we decided to destroy this one too.

Again, we flew high above the martian machine and maintained a safe distance. Knowing that the explosion from the beam was not large or powerful enough to destroy the machine in one hit, we attempted to destroy the machine by destroying one part at a time. We aimed for one of the legs of the tripod figure, but it was hard to focus because both we and the machine kept moving around. Eventually we managed to generate another beam, which hit the leg and caused a huge explosion, though due to the size of the machine, this only destroyed the middle of the leg.

Now on only two legs, the machine seemed unable to balance and lost control, falling to the ground whilst wildly firing the heat ray at the buildings and ground below. The machine was immobile, but the martian was not dead yet and was still controlling the weaponary. We took aim at the head of the machine. It was much easier now that the martian was unable to move.

With the martian machines gone and no more in sight, we flew to the ground, where a strange light-gray military tank-like vehicle was moving around with soldiers standing on the top. It didn't look like an ordinary military vehicle though, and at first we almost mistook it for martian technology and fired another blast at it, but we realised quickly that it was not an enemy.

We flew down and the soldiers seemed to be celebrating the destruction of the martian machines as though they had done it by themselves, obviously unaware of the beams that me and Freddy had fired at the machine.
