NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

A C C O M P L I S H E D!!!! Last ToTY and both ToTM December!!!

Sometimes I cannot believe my subconscious how it helps me! Dream Incubation works like a charm... pulled the Advanced II in a very easy way! And did some others too! Wohooo. Task of the Year done in less than a month an a half... just amazing.

I was in some weird house with people I did not know anything about. The house was very big, but even though from the inside looked like a house, it was an apartment. All the walls were gray, like made out of concrete without any painting. All the furniture looked kind of old and with a lot of dust. I was playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess... And those of you have played, you know that Link transformed into a wolf in several events of the game... sure this was not an arctic wolf... just a weird type of wolf. I realized I was dreaming, because I did not know the place where I was at and because I beat that game years ago. I looked at my hands and they looked pretty big, plus the fact that my thumb was like a feet away from my Index finger, and my Index, was wavy. I stood up flinging away the ps3 controller but realized that I had half of one of the task done. I first visualized the game scenario to be around me instead of in the tv (did this in the past already, and if I am not mistaken, this was in other ToTM December, lol) I found myself into the game, but the game scenario changed, it was all full of snow, I could not even see a fragment of green on the trees. Link (either normal and wolf form) was gone, but the Twilight princess was still there, looking at me (for those who you do now know, she both rode link as a wolf and had something to transform him into a wolf if I recall well) I asked her to please transform me into an Artic Wolf, not the regular one. I heard her odd metallic laugh and she hit me with a stone until all I could see was the snow. My dream started to fade fast and I started to run, looking up in the sky, but I felt weird. I realized she successfully turned me into an artic wolf.

I saw a bush full of snow and I decided to hide inside of it, until I was completely camouflaged. I saw a weird looking orc (hey, it is still a pray...) with a wooden sword... I jumped on him and started biting him until it banished. It actually banished instead of just dying and/or living a body. Advanced II done.

I now wanted to go back home and keep working on the tasks, so I closed my eyes a few times (not during 10 seconds and neither wanted to try, that is an almost sure waking up... not for me) until I was back home, as a human, but I was confused and my dream faded.

I had a false awakening in bed, it looked like my bedroom, but I knew I was not in my house. Which helped me to turn lucid again. My wife was still in bed and I went to the living room. I started to look into some drawers for a cigar. I do not smoke cigars, but I felt I needed to do something with one, until I heard my wife moving out from bed and going to the bathroom. I recalled the basic task of asking for a gift. I ran to my wife and told her, "Can you give me a Christmas gift please?" She smiled at me and said, "Sure." She went to the living room and spawned a bag out of nowhere. She pulled three small alarm clocks. She said that those three were my gift. She smiled at me and said, "Look, it is 1:32 am" I knew in waking life it was much later, but whatever. I also sang a Christmas Carol. as I thought it was another of the basic tasks as well...

With both ToTM done, I focused on the last task of the Year. I was going to leave my house, and as I was leaving, my dream started to fade really quick to the point of almost awakening. I pulled off my best stabilization technique. Grabbing something from the Dream World and focusing on it. I grabbed onto the staircase handrail. It was metallic and very cold, lucky me! I started to see the dream again, until the dream quality went great again. As I exited the building, there was a doorman who said, "Sir, grab your free coffee!" I turned back and replied, "No need, I am sleeping." The doorman looked at me like if I was nuts. I took of for a small flight to make the dream quality increase.

I started to walk down the street and I was focusing on teleporting to New York. As I kept walking, I saw snow and turned right on a street and saw a ton of huge buildings. I was next to a random DC who apparently, was my friend. She said to me, "Look, the Empire State Building, and it is not destroyed!" It made sense to me in the moment and I grabbed it and started to climb it. I grew up in size like 10 times. My arms were as wide as the building itself, but I was still in human form. As I climbed the building, I started to roar and make monkey noises. After a while climbing, my arms started to become thick and hairy. Suddenly, my arms were covered in dark brown hair and so my entire body and kept transforming until I was an ape... and since I was giant, well, I was King Kong. I kept climbing until I reached the top. The very top of the Empire State Building was not bigger than my hand, and I started to roar even harder. There was a small speaker on the empire state building, and a very annoying intense alarm started to sound, it was like one of those apartment fire alarms. I heard the sound of jets around me and police cars on the street. I started to move one of my ape arms while the other one was holding onto the building. I knocked down a couple of jets and then, jumped from the building to the ground, smashing some cop cars. I was almost as big as the building and started to run, breaking other buildings around.

I started to run away from downtown until I was back to normal size again and (I believe) human again. I kept running and thinking what else I needed to do, but the dream started to fade even faster. I tried to save it, but I was feeling my body in bed and even hearing waking world noises until I woke up.

Wow congratulation and thank you two - I find this so interesting to read!!

It started with me trying to go to sleep, practicing WILD. I was trying to make it a snowland, but I've been playing a lot of AC-black flag lately, so it turned into a beautiful, tropical, Caribbean land. I managed to create the world, get into it, but i got lost in the dream pretty quickly. After a couple hours of hanging out, running around in tropical land, I spontaneously became aware that it was a dream. It was weird because there were no signs, it was like a switch went on and I knew it was a dream again.

Instantly I thought, Okay! arctic wolf and snowman, go!

Advanced ii:
It was still tropical land so I turned a small area of it into a snowland. There was a black crater there where something had crashed, don't know what that was about. I turned myself into a wolf, and there was another wolf standing in the crater. It was giving me the evil-eye and snarling at me. So we battled and I beat him up. Then I hid in the snow and waited for a minute and a little bunny came hopping along. I jumped on it, ripped it open, and started eating it. It both tasted and had the texture of some cheap, industrial carpet. I've never eaten rabbit before, so I guess that's what my mind thought rabbit might taste like, carpet.


After that, I went and hung out in a kennel that was in a tree (back in tropical land). There were two other kennels in other trees nearby with other strange dream creatures in them and we hung out and talked for awhile. I remember it started to get extremely hot with all my fur, so I changed back to a human and jumped down.

Advanced i:
I could feel an adrenaline rush kicking in, so I knew that I was about to wake up. I hurried and walked to a new snow patch, lifted the snow off the ground into the atomized-shape of a snowman, solidified it, and then drew a cute little face on him. I let him live and he instantly started to act like a loving cat. He bumped his snowman head against my face and started purring at me. So I pet him and gave him a hug, then I woke up.

I'm excited to try the bonus one next maybe I'll try it tonight if I become lucid again

I was wondering - if I do this - I might be a bit repulsed by too life-like a taste of warm blood.
Maybe I would taste something else as well - but not after posting this ..
Also - if the dying would be realistic - but do it fast sounds like a good idea ..

But petting friendly and purring beings is quite popular, I noticed - including myself here..

What I have wondered - is it often, that you false awake from lucid dreams and come back to lucidity by that means of recognising it?
Are you in the habit to check every awakening in some way?
And - throwing stones is not what she does in the game, or does she? Nasty..
Will remember the grabbing something!
I said "Carol" - hehe, soz, if connected - I am not actually acquainted with this story a lot - might go ahead and read or watch something!


Something especially for Ophelia and your dark tastes:
