26 ~ walking through a mirror to the other side

I did this a couple days ago. It was really awkward. I realized I was dreaming after seeing something odd (I don't remember what) so I did an RC to test if i was dreaming. I looked at my watch and the numbers were cahnging really fast and so now I knew I was in a dream so I went into my house and I remembered reading about going through mirrirs so I went into the bathroom, climbed up onto the counter and put my face up to the mirror trying to push it through, it took a couple tries but eventually I was able to slowly push my body into the mirror I went all the way through and I was in my bathroom but there was no door and everything was backwards it was really strange then I climbed back out and continued on with my dream (most of which involved me going through windows just because i can:p)

Very nice

Thats weird: "it was all backwards", must have been a bit trippy


Just to make sure everyone knows:
You can be as detailed as you want when writing these. Indeed, it would be pretty damn awesome if you included every singly minute detail, because then we would be able to experience what you experienced.

For example, it would be perfectly ok to write out a 2000 word explanation of how you stepped into a pool of molten chocolate.
The more details you write, the more its going to make others want to experience what you experienced

83. Breathing underwater

(This is just the ending of a much longer LD in which I did quite a few tasks.)



I took off flying again. I flew outside. I was on the roof of a three story apartment building.

I remember thinking about how I had been talking about how cool it was to just fall backward off things...so I decided to do it again. As I stood at the edge about to fall, I thought, "Now am I really sure I'm dreaming. If I'm not, this will be fatal."

But I was already falling backwards. I didn't fall to the ground level, but just to a balcony on the floor below. I actually landed on a soft couch. I stood up again and was planning to fall backwards again, but I saw a pool down below. I remembered how I had wanted to do a Water Task. This wasn't the ocean, but a pool could be good practice for future water Tasks.

So I dived off the balcony and went straight in the water of the pool. I worked myself to the botton. I started to breath. It was a very strange feeling. It wasn't like I had remembered before when I was breathing underwater just like it was air.

I could kind of feel the unpleasant feeling of water trying to come in through my nose. I had to block my nose breathing off. When I breathed through my mouth it felt like there were bubble appearing right in front of my mouth that I was able to suck in. It made a little bubbly noise as I did so. But it worked, I was able to breathe. And it seemed significant to me that I would be able to breathe like this indefinitely.

I looked around again to see if there was anything interesting at the bottom of the pool. I saw a guy and a dog also laying at the bottom.

I decided to try the Pet Task again with the dog. I started talking to it and asked it to talk to me. But suddenly the guy that was with the dog got mad at me. He said, " He's underwater! And you want him to talk!" --as if it would kill the dog for it to talk underwater. Of course this guy was talking underwater and it wasn't killing him.

I was trying to decide if I was going to debate this with the guy, but then I could feel myself losing the dream. Then I was awake.

Good job shadows

Just one thing though; could you make a new post that only contains this:

That way when someone hits the link in the list they'll only see the dream


Hopefully by doing it that way we'll be able to keep all the experience reports neat and tidy (the person that clicks the link won't even know about this thread, they'll just see your individual post -- like this).

Thanks alot

All right...how's that? I fixed them both, I think.

2. Flying into Outer Space

So as I flew I decided that I needed to be in space. And without any effort I was suddenly soaring though the stars. It was so beautiful and incredible.

I thought about how I had always wanted to do that, and I had never been able to do it before. I had read about others doing it and wondered how they managed to do it because it seemed to be a difficult thing to do. And I was so amazed how this just happened naturally for me in this dream.

I also thought about how everything was just too quiet. I wanted to hear a soundtrack. But I wasn’t able to get music going.

I noticed as I flew though the stars, that the stars seemed to be more concentrated above me. It started looking more to me like a flat ceiling. But I decided not to let that bother me too much. This was my first time creating a flight through space, and it was pretty darn good.

I realized that my next goal was to find a space ship. I really wanted to find Darth Vader and confront him. I looked below me and I now saw a white medium sized space craft. It was a dirty white with yellow and black trim. I knew Darth Vader was on that ship.

I flew to it. I knew that it I flew into it fast enough that I would fly right through the sides and end up inside. And I did.

Unfortunately (and this kills me), this is the part of the dream I remember the least. Something happened on that ship, but I have no memory what it was. But I do remember the dream suddenly fading.

I was suddenly back in a house. There was a hallway with a mirror at the end in front of me. I knew I was still in the dream. I also knew that if I ran straight at the mirror, that it would transport me back to space.

So I ran toward the mirror, diving inside, and was again back in space. I saw the same ship in front of me. I flew right at it. But instead of slipping back inside, I hit the outside. This time it was too solid for me to get it. I was very disappointed. Again the dream faded.

Wow shadows the first part of that space flight dream was amazing
I'm definitely going to do that in my next lucid.

Perfect

Thanks...it just kills me though that I can't remember what happened on the space ship. I think I might remember storm troopers, but I'm not sure.....

Good luck on your space adventure...

148: Kill a Dragon (sorry Matt5678, didn't know you were working on this too)

I realized I was dreaming inside a town that resembled an ancient Greek university. There were white columbed buildings, tiled floors, a bright blue sky, and many people walking around in a commons area with a marble fountain in the middle.

I remembered how I wanted to kill a dragon, and a dragon quickly materialized in the sky. It was massive, had two heads, and yellow/brown skin. Even though I wanted it to appear, it still scared me quite a bit. I started shooting fireballs at it which exploded on contact. Eventually it fell to the ground.

But then two dragons appeared! I threw more fireballs frantically, knowing they could charge at any moment. They created large explosions on contact, but the dragons did not go down. Now this next move was not planned. I really wanted to kill these dragons and I chanted "Divine Intervention." The heavens opened up and this twister descended and sucked up the two dragons and a Blastoise from pokemon. I don't know what blastoise was doing there, he is water, not dragon. What was really exciting was that this did not over excite me and I had about 5 more minutes of lucidity.

WOW I completed 14 ~ Do stand up comedy!!!!!!!!!!

Excerpt from dream journal:

2ND WILD: Lucid Goal!!

I woke up to tell my brother about the experience... I think he was asleep because he didn't respond... I decided to try another WILD... I'm still not sure if this was an FA. This time sleep paralysis hit me in under 20 seconds!!! I found myself in my school non lucid. I was walking around and then A student informed me that there was a hockey tournament today. He said he'll need my help Icing the hallways... For some reason we had to make the hallways really slippery so the hockey players could skate in between rinks. I went outside and some grade 5 girl who looked my age started hitting on me... I had control but didn't know I was dreaming yet... I hugged her but then told her I can't do anything more cause shes WAY too young. I then spotted something that made me lucid: There were race cars in the school parking lot!! I hopped in one while rubbing my hands and sped off!!! Lucid racing was much like a video game... I love video games... Which is why I raced around for over 20 minutes!!! I soon realized I was wasting my time in my LD so I remembered my personal goal... To do stand up comedy in front of a crowd of comedians (and mostly regular people) So I pulled over into what looked like an abandoned building. I did some passive control to make a stage and an audience... As I walked in I saw Chris rock, Dave Chapelle, and Adam Sandler in the front row!! I got up on stage and people started applauding! "thanks thanks" they all started laughing and it wasn't even funny!!! (I love preforming for crowds so this was the ultimate feeling for me!) I then said "hows everybody doing today??" They all roared with laughter... Unfortunately...My lucidity began to fade... I was still semi Lucid and the comedy club was turning into a gospel... I decided to go with it so I impressed the audience with my gospel singing skills... I woke up soon after.

116 summon something

I realize it has been done already, but it has happened to me twice, both times were great.

1) I was in a large, king-like chamber complete with throne and red carpet and was in need of a hasty ride to Washington state to visit a friend. I thought I would try summoning something instead of flying, and a blue winged eagle with the body of a man appeared and flew me there

2) I was on a large rocky pillar in the middle of a large storm, surrounded by roiling waves and swells. A large sea monster (very Godzilla-esque) appeared, but I had not called it. I could tell it was not friendly, but realizing at that moment that I was dreaming, and had total control over what would happen, I decided instead to reform the monster myself. I reached out my hand and the monster broke into hundreds of smaller versions of itself. Then, I put them back together as a nice monster (the color had shifted too, think a picture and its negative) and it slowly lumbered away

83- Breathe underwater

(This happend last summer when I had a cast on my right wrist b/c I broke it wrestling. I don't even know if this will count but I did the task and I figure maybe someone might want to hear about my dream.)

Iam outside of a manchine surrounded by a jungle. I am with my parents, sister, grandparents, and a friend. Everyone was wearing all white clothes. We are holding fishing poles, we all walked over to the lake in the back yard. When we got to the lake it wasn't a lake it was a pool, we weren't wearing white clothes anymore instead we were wearing bathing suites. We jumped in the pool and we were having fun. Suddenly I was the only person in the pool. A wave formed and collapsed on me, I swam up to the surface to gasp for air, but then another wave hit me. I swam up to the surface to get more air, but before I got there I was hit with more waves. I tried to swim back up but I couldn't, I started to sink. I knew I was going to die if I couldn't get back to the surface, and I got scared. I could see my right arm, I noticed it doesn't have a cast on it, and I shouldn't be in water anyway because I should have a cast on... so I must be dreaming!!! I said to myself BREATHE it was like not breathing for 20 seconds in waking life then taking a breath of air. Since this happend when I first started getting the hang of LD's I had no control of the enviornment. So once I became Lucid and got out that death trap of a pool the enviornment changes and I'm in outerspace. I see a planet infront of me, and then I see Frieza from Dragonball z. We started fighting, I beat him. Then I yelled what is my dream sign! What I'm looking at changes from outerspace to the fuzzy screen you get on TV when you are on a chanel you can't get. Then I woke up.

I hope you enjoyed reading my dream.

After completing this month's lucid task, and turning into a grizzly bear last night, I think I'll try #86 — be a dragon.

I've breathed underwater many times in LDs, one of the most awesome experiences

Alrighty, this just got me EXTREMELY motivated!!!! I just decided to marry a mermaid(no joke, it's REALLY NOT A JOKE )!!! Ya I know that it wasn't a quest there... But this one is... To have undersea sex that is... Ye get my point, ye landclubbers? Really, this thread is extremely motivating, I'm gonna bookmark it... You are gonna hear of my dreams later!!! Bye for a while.

As I was skimming through the list, I saw one task "Fight with Cool Weapons, (Ninja Style)" and another "Be a Ninja" were very similar. Can certain tasks be done in one go?
