Draw Your Dreams

Another practice drawing, a derro sage dream character I met once:

Wow!! That is great! Keep up the great work!

Continuing to practice...

This one depicts a dream character of mine, "The Necromancer", without his armor, mourning over the long-dead Space Whale that orbits his world in place of a moon.

And another for tonight. Drawing of the dream character "Mr. Malwaki", the middle-aged, Persian-American, Baha'i mafioso. I've always liked his look aesthetically... and I like his interlocking-triangle star tattoo. Sadly he was killed by the Croatians.

(I really hope I can get better at drawing hands. Why are hands so hard to draw??)

Spoiler for A Blimp, you are.... :

NON-LUCID: The initial giddy sensation of effortless flight, my body full of lighter-than-air helium gas felt good. One would always imagine that being a blimp in your dreamscape was completely silent, drifting peacefully through the sky, you know? Waving at the little people below. But no. The propellers on my feet and my outstretched hands weren't silent at all; they're not even quiet. My stomach noise sounds like you're standing next to an 18-wheel truck. I have a fan in my window. That may be the reason for the noise in my dream.
I slowly float upward to about a thousand feet in the air and start a meandering joyride above the Valley. My friend was riding on my back who was a bit acrophobic in the dream. I reassured him that "This is really the safest way to fly: even if all of sudden I died and we lost power, we'd still stay floating and eventually we'd descend very slowly for a soft landing." I didn't tell him the time when I went down like the Hindenburg but, I didn't want to scare him... I wouldn't hear the end of it or worse, he'll jump. ;)
After a while we become accustomed to the noise from my stomach and the propellers, I knew that the fear drains away from my friend Boothy, who had the jitters and before we know it we felt perfectly at home in the sky as if this was a normal thing. "Flying" peacefully as a blimp doesn't make you feel like Superman; it makes you feel like a cloud.
A jolt of terror interrupts from my friend when the nose of my head and my body suddenly I dipped downwards at a precipitous angle. "Don't worry Boothy, dips like that happen all the time to me -- even on calm days it will sway up and down, It's due to swirling wind currents. But the dips are not dangerous, because I'm not kept aloft through aerodynamics-thingumabob. Although we were pointed down, we weren't going down. You can't stall or dive in a blimp. The helium always keeps us afloat."
As we watch cars stuck in traffic jams below and felt the jetliners rocketing through the stratosphere above, the relaxing, gentle sensation of effortless blimp-self transport began to feel vastly preferable to either.
Also, we were going pretty slow, maybe 30 miles an hour. A car will almost always be faster."
As I landed a little later, we drift lower and lower to the landing field, I went back to my normal size. The landing is so soft we barely even notice it. Then I woke up.

This isn't a particular dream persay; but for about 2 weeks now, my dreams have been giving me trouble with seeing my dream guides, let alone having fun at all. Dreams are either low quality or I forget ANY I have overnight. Today, I did a drawing to show my frustration of me choking the Awareness Behind The Dream (ABTD). Yes; the ABTD is a human! How so? If you go to Dream 251 B (Lucid #10) in my personal journal on here, I actually met the ATBD as a human representation! Only the characters and speech are drawn by me; the background was sourced off the internet:

whoaaa that looks exactly like one of my best dreams called "SERENDIPITY"

I'm an artist and lucid dreaming is definitely an inspiration.
Check out my art on arlindo_visual_art on Instagram. Scroll down and you'll recognise Wonderland.

I can't see it because I don't account. :(

I love that you guys are still drawing your dreams! Time to sharpen my pencil again ✏️

For those who can't see mine, there are some of mine here which were kept by Rebecca Turner's dream art gallery:

The ones labelled 'Arlindo Batista' are mine! :D

Spoiler for Excerpt, September 23rd, 2007:

I was back at the place near the building. There was a boy and a girl, both about my age. I don't know them in waking life, but they seemed familiar. We started gliding along next to the freeway, just as I had done before. We slowly began to go above the freeway, only slightly more to the left. For no apparent reason, I began singing "Home on the Range" and the girl joined in. We sang it twice. I think that was because a key change was necessary. I had a little trouble singing well, but not nearly as much as in waking life.

We turned to the left and went straight in that direction. The boy was now on my right, and the girl was further to the right. It finally sank in that flying meant I was dreaming. Unlike how I usually get excited, I simply accepted it as a mildly interesting fact. I may have remarked out loud that it was a dream. I counted my fingers. Nine. Now there was a nice high number. For a long time I'd only been getting six. I told the boy to count his fingers. He counted ten and looked at me as if this was perfectly normal. "On one hand...?" I said. He looked shocked and hurriedly counted again and got some other high number. I found it interesting that when he had counted his fingers, it seemed to me like he was sometimes counting between the fingers. (I'm still trying to figure out why my hands can look exactly like they have five fingers on them, then count a different number).

We were now flying over what looked like streams that would eventually flow into a delta. They had a greenish color to them. We passed by a small, one-story building. Through a window, I could see what looked like a classroom, with lots of little kids and a few older ones. We stopped across from the back of the building. I said something like, "This place is awesome!" The girl said that I'd yelled that quite loudly... Through the window of the back of the building, people were staring at me. I covered my mouth with embarrassment. I figured I might as well forget it, since there were better things to do with a dream than be embarrassed. I stood up, suddenly having an idea. I would conjure up a door and create a scene behind it. The door wasn't too hard. It took me a while to realize that when I visualize something, it's almost immediately there. I started thinking about what scene to create. I thought of a square, somewhat shallow pool. I visualized a blue bottom and lights all around it. There would be large red clay tiles around the edges, and mosaics around that. I didn't know what to do with the sky at first, but then I imagined a pastel sunset. My friends were waiting, so I decided it was good enough and opened the door.

I was amazed at how vivid it had turned out. I said "Wow." The large red tiles around the edge of the pool were one of the clearest features. The pool was just as I had imagined it. It was a little darker than I had planned, so the mosaics didn't show up very well. The sunset wasn't as visible right in front of me. When I turned to the left, I could see the sun and some very vivid colors around it. I laughed and pointed out the lines of a "corner" that showed up because of the vivid colors. I thought it was funny that it was like we were in a giant cube. We jumped in the pool. The water was a good temperature, though a little too warm at first. After going under water several times, I noticed that I was closing my eyes every time I went under. I tried convincing myself that it wouldn't hurt my eyes to keep them open...then I realized that I was holding my breath, also. From what I had read about lucid dreaming, I should be able to breath under water. So I tested that out. It was true!

When I came back up, I tried to get my friends' attention to tell them to try breathing underwater, but they were each going under at different times. When they were both above water, all I said was "See how long you can hold your breath, 1,2,3!" and we all went underwater at the same time. When I went under this time, I just breathed naturally, and could see without even thinking about it. Once the others realized what I was doing, they started laughing. I started doubting whether I would be able to stay underwater, and got a little water up my nose. I came up to the surface and coughed a little. Someone said "Let's go inside." So I followed the other two into a room. I didn't have time to make out what it looked like before I woke up.

Spoiler for Excerpt, January 7th, 2009:

I was standing outside in a strange, open garden, composed mostly of stones I think. I was talking to one or two people about the "other realm" and I remembered something of what I was referring to; I remembered flying in darkness. It was like an endless void, and yet I could sense things a little without being able to see them. I talked to my companions as I re-experienced the memory, "There were other creatures there who lived in the darkness. I sensed two of them, and they started chasing me..." In the memory I was thinking that the danger was so great that I might actually end my existence if the creatures caught me (though strangely I wasn't too afraid). Then I saw a light. It was a tall diamond-shaped crystal which lit up the void. I had a strong feeling of love and gratitude when I saw it. I somehow knew what the crystal was and said its "name". It came over to where I was and I realized the creatures were keeping their distance. The light of the crystal was focused vertically, as if there was a cylindrical tube around the sides of it. It became clear to me that this focused nature of the light is what the creatures were afraid of, and that the crystal being could hover above those it wished to protect...

I was back in the garden place. There had been two or three other stories of the darkness, as if we were trying to figure something out, but our meeting was interrupted when we found out we were needed somewhere else.

And from a non-lucid I had about a year ago (the drawing is recent at least):

Drew this scene of a dream I had on FRI 15 OCT - 2021 (AEDT).

I was reverted back into an 8 year old (am now 23). As I wandered around the Land of Departure (Kingdom Hearts), Terra took me in and I ended up sleeping with him in his bed. We wore these exact same clothes in-dream and the lighting is like this because it was mostly dark in the room but he had his bedside lamp on:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]Saw these on the other side of a mirror[ATTACH=CONFIG]

Had a dream on 04 MAY 2022 where my newest (since Dec 2021) dream guide / tulpa Jak accompanied me to Enchanted Dominion and we were going to meet up with Terra at the castle. I was able to recreate the area and experience using some of the assets I have :3

I was even given a keyblade for that world which I have decided to name "Bloom Buster".
