DreamLucidAwake

Missing Baby

The dream started off with me in a room that was sort of like a tunnel. There were a bunch of pipes lining the walls here. I had a wrench and I was looking for a broken pipe that someone had asked me to fix. At the end of the room I found a pipe shooting out a lot of steam. I took my wrench and hit the pipe about 20 times to fix it. I then took notice to the tunnel exit to my right. It was just a big hole in the wall that led to the Loudonville public pool. There were a lot of people there, but they seemed oddly busy. It looked like they were searching for something.

I was about to go help them find whatever they were looking for, but another pipe broke next to me. It shot a bunch of steam at me as I hit it repeatedly with my wrench. After I fixed that one, 2 more broke and I had to fix them. I kept watching and listening to the people at the pool as I fixed the pipes. I noticed that they were starting to become more panicked and worried. I also heard a woman yell something about a baby several times. I pieced it all together and assumed that someone's baby had gone missing. I decided that a missing baby was more important than stupid steam pipes that keep breaking all the time. I walked over to the pool towards a woman that seemed to be giving directions.

"Hey, is something wrong?" I asked her.
"Yes, a woman's baby has gone missing. We have no idea where he is. He could be in the pool, the playground, the building..." She said.
"Okay, is there anyway I can help?" I asked.
"You can go search in the pool with that boy over there." She said pointing to a younger kid.

I jumped into the pool and swam over to him. He looked like he was around 10 years old.

"Hi, my name's Jonathan. I was told to help you search for the baby." I said.
"Hi, I'm Colton. I haven't found any signs of him yet." He said.

He dived back under the water to search some more. I decided to do same and look for the baby underwater. We examined the entire pool area, but we found no signs of the baby. I then saw that the water in the pool also flowed into a nearby building. Sort of like one of those tunnel of love rides. I called Colton over and we both swam into the tunnel. It was a little dark in there so we had to feel around a little in our search. As I searched, I started to wonder what the point of searching for the baby underwater would be. I called Colton back to the surface to talk to him.

"Why are we looking for a baby underwater? If he was under the water he would be dead." I said.
"That's a good point if he was alive, but what if he is dead?" Colton asked.
"I don't know, but dead or alive, it seems strange that a baby could get so far away on its own."
"A little strange I guess."
"Is the baby simply missing or was it kidnapped? Is there a ransom?" I thought out loud.
"Maybe." He said after thinking it through.
"If so, then he would be alive and hidden somewhere with the kidnappers."
"How is that supposed to make things easier?"
"We now have a better idea of where to look. Let's go look on the surface for a a secret doors, tunnels, or caves."

We both climbed out of the river onto the concrete flooring in the tunnel. I searched the left side of the tunnel and Colton searched the right. We were searching the walls and floor for something odd that could give us a clue. I got distracted from my search when I saw a girl up ahead searching the tunnel. I think it was Molly again.

"Hey, what are you doing in here?" I asked.
"I think the baby might be around here somewhere." She said.
"Let's work together. I think it might have been kidnapped."
"Okay."

I walked up ahead of them and continued to search. I saw a light coming from the left side of the tunnel, which told me there was a room there. I walked to the light and found a well furnished living room. For some reason I gained a low level of lucidity here. I was about to leave the room, but then I thought this room was way too odd to pass by. I looked at the left corner in the far end of the room. I slowly walked towards it because it didn't seem right. When I got close I realized that there was a staircase to a basement hidden behind the left wall. It was an optical illusion that made the left and front walls appear connected from a distance.

I slowly walked down the stairs with my heart beating faster. At the bottom, I put my back against a wall next to a hallway. I closed my eyes and focused on my hearing to try pick up any noises from around the corner. I heard the sound of a baby crying from the hallway. I then heard a woman from the hallway say, "Shh... Quiet..." Now knowing that there really were kidnappers actually shocked me a little. I used my energy sense to try to get a better view. I could see a woman holding a baby in her arms and a muscular man standing behind them. The baby looked just like the ones from the "Uncontrollable Fury" and "Possessed" dreams. I estimated their location to be about 3 or 4 rooms down the hall on the right side.

I walked back up the stairs quietly to go tell Colton and Molly. When I got back to the tunnel I saw Colton, Molly, and like 15 other people searching the tunnels. A few of them were even police officers.

"Where did all of these people come from?" I asked Molly.
"I called them over here." She said.
"That's good. Anyways, I need to show you guys something." I said.
"What?" Colton asked.
"I found the baby." I said.
"Then let's go get it!" He said excitedly.

The three of us walked down the stairs together slowly. I put my back to the wall at the bottom again and Molly did the same. Colton though, didn't understand it all and walked into the hallway. I quickly pulled him back and Molly pushed him back against the wall.

"Hey! What was that for?" He asked annoyed.
"Be careful and be quiet." I whispered.
"What was that?" The man from the other room whispered.

I heard the man slowly walk into the hallway. I motioned Molly and Colton to run upstairs. We ran upstairs and out of the room. It felt like we just barely got away without being noticed. I saw a few police officers and figured they could be of help.

"We found the baby." I said.
"Really? Where is it?" One of them asked.
"He was kidnapped and taken to a secret basement!" Molly said.
"Ha! That's good one." Another officer said thinking it was a joke.
"Just give me your gun and I'll get him." I said.
"Quit wasting our time kid. We have work to do." One police officer said.

They turned their backs to use and started talking to someone else. I decided that the three of us would have to bring the baby back ourselves. I motioned Molly and Colton to follow me back into the room. We walked down the stairs quietly together and put our backs to the wall.

"There's a man and a woman. The woman is the one holding the baby. Get the baby away from her and run." I told Molly.
"I'm ready." Molly said.
"I'm ready." Colton said.
"No, you're staying here where it's safe." I told him.
"I'll keep watch!" He said excitedly.
"We rush in on the count of 3. 1...2...3!"

The two of us quickly ran into the hallway together. After hearing us, the woman stepped into the hallway with the baby and stared at us. I felt like something really bad was about to happen to Molly, so I ran in front of her. Right as I did this, the man jumped out from one of the rooms and tackled me. Molly looked as if she was about to stop runnin to help me. I didn't want her to save me though, I wanted her to save the baby.

"Keep going!" I yelled to her.

The man held me down against the floor and then stabbed me on the left side of my chest with a knife. He was about to pull the knife out of me and attack Molly. I held him down though and kneed him in the stomach. I could see the shadows of everyone on the wall as I held the man down. From the shadows I saw Molly kick the woman, take the baby, and run. Molly ran back towards the stairs and the woman tried chasing after her. I grabbed the woman's leg with my two feet as she ran by and tripped her. They both tried to get me to release my grip, but I refused. The man pushed the knife deeper and deeper into me. I still didn't let go of them until the moment I died.

Normally I wake up after I die. This time my dream felt like making fun of me I guess. It was also very weird because I was still lucid. I saw an image of Molly standing on a playground with three zombies. Then a narrator started talking as I viewed this little movie.

"After Jonathan's death, Molly inherited his favorite SMG." The narrator said.

I then saw molly pull out an SMG from her backpack. Even though I don't have a gun like that, it was still my favorite. It looked like it was from Left 4 Dead.

"She vowed that she would use this weapon to fight crime in his name." He said.
"...You do know this is just a dream and I'm not really dead right?" I said in my mind.

Molly then pointed the gun at the zombies and shot them until their arms and heads came off.

"Perhaps one day, with her help, we will see a better world." He said.
"I want my SMG back..." I said.
"Remember everyone. Keep on dreaming!"
"Okay, I'm just going to wake up now." I said irritated.

DreamLucidAwake

Uncontrollable Fury

I don't really remember the beginning of this dream. I do remember seeing a man standing inside a pond with a baby. Something about it didn't seem right, so I started walking over to the pond. I then saw him hold the baby under the water trying to drown it. I ran into the pond as fast as I could and punched the guy in the face. I brought the baby back to the surface and somehow got it to breathe again.

"What the hell were you trying to do???" I asked the man.
"That is the child of the enemy. He should be killed!" The man said.
"That's not his fault!" I exclaimed
"He'll grow up to be a monster. Give him to me." He demanded.
"No." I told him.

He was about to take the baby from me by force, but I just punched him in the face again. I kind of knocked him out and left him floating on the water. I walked over to a house and left the child on a rocking chair. I then heard the sound of an animal crying in pain followed by laughter. That combination did not sound one bit right. I followed the sounds to back of the house. On the other side of the house I saw 3 men surrounding a dog. The dog was covered in cuts and bruises and it looked like it hadn't eaten in days. Two of the men were holding down the dog and beating it while the other guy was taking pictures of them.

It completely sickened me to watch this and my anger started rising quickly. I somehow becaame lucid at this moment and decided I would go over there and beat some sense into those guys. Before I could even take my first step towards them the dog they were beating had died. They kicked it a few more times before tossing it to the side. I then saw them bring my dog out of the house and hold him down. One of them pulled out a pair of scissors and started cutting my dog's nose up. This pushed my anger far beyond its limits.

I transformed into a dragon and started growling. I actually found this scary because I completely stopped acting human. When the man was about to stick the scissors in my dog's eye I let out my most powerful draconic roar. It knocked them all to the ground and used time control to close the distance before they could get back up. The one with the camera did man age to get back up though and he attempted to run into the woods. He only made a few steps before I stabbed my claws right into his back. I used my earth element to smash him into the ground with as much force as powerful. I then started biting and clawing at him.

As I was doing this, the man with the scissors tried to sneak up from behind me and stab me. I saw this coming with my danger sense though and cut the man's stomach with my tail blade. When I turned to face him he tried to stab me again. I shoved my claws straight through his arm and he dropped his scissors in pain. I forced him to the ground with my claws still in his arm. I then started biting and pulling at his arm until it was completely ripped off. I finished him off by slashing my claws through his throat.

The last man pulled out a hand gun and shot me in the side. It knocked me to the ground and hurt like hell, but I didn't care at all. I got right back up and slowly started walking towards him. He tried firing another shot, but this time a purple spark appeared a few inches in front of me. The bullet seemed to have bounced off of this energy. He tried firing a few more shots at me, but the same thing happened whenever a bullet got near. I soon cornered the man against the house and started growling again. He stumbled to the ground and I pierced his chest with my claws to be sure he wouldn't crawl away. I then looked directly into his eyes and released a red energy (fear) into his mind. He started screaming in fear until he passed out a few seconds later. I ended it when I jumped up into the air and smashed his head with a tail strike.

I was now in some sort of killing frenzy. I was looking all around me for anything to kill. I started roaring and took out many trees with my draconic roar. It wasn't until I saw my dog lying on the ground in pain that I finally calmed down. I came back into control of myself and undid my dragon form. I walked over to my dog and used my healing magic on him before waking up.

When I woke up, I still had much anger inside me. So much in fact, that I had to punch my wall. My hand still hurts...

Lost Dog

Just a very short dream of me looking for my dog. I was riding in the back seat of a car, my grandmother was driving, and my mother was in the passenger seat. We were driving through Loudonville apparently looking for my dog that ran away. We turned left onto main street and I saw my dog standing on the side walk as we turned.

"Hey! I saw my dog back there!" I told them.
"So?" My grandmother ask.
"So let's go back there and get her?" I asked.
"Fine." She said turning the car around.

As she turned the car around I got that weird feeling again. That feeling where I know something bad is about to happen or there is a nightmare creature nearby. I looked out in front of us and saw a shadow man just standing there in the road. The car stopped in front of him. He didn't move. He just stood there staring at us and that feeling grew stronger. Remembering that I only get this feeling in dreams I decided to plug my nose and look at my hands. I couldn't breathe through and my hands looked normal. I kept trying over and over again because it just didn't seem right that I would be awake. The next thing I know, my grandma became impatient and ran the shadow man over.

I woke up after trying another reality check. When I had awaken I couldn't move. I was stuck in sleep paralysis again. "Crap. Sleep paralysis again." I thought. "3, 2, 1, FLAIL!" I thought to myself before I managed to roll over. I was apparently still too tired and relaxed though because I got stuck in sleep paralysis again right after. This time I decided to see what would happen if I let it happen. I lied there for 10 seconds before it felt like someone kicked me in the spine. Then I decided to just get up for a minute to unrelax myself.

DreamLucidAwake

Escape Boat

Before this dream started, I was testing day dream awareness. I was day dreaming about odd things because my mind wasn't fully awake. I day dreamed that I was swimming in the ocea after a cruise ship. Just to make a key point, I was climbed onto the ship by a really long ladder. Now onto the dream.

I was sneaking around a facility (of what kind I do not know) with the elf. I was wearing a backpack that must have been full of a lot of stuff because it was heavy. I was also carrying a couple bottles of Gatorade and some granola bars in my left arm. It seemed that we were looking for supplies and anything useful. She opened a chest in the corner of the room and started digging through a bunch of junk. I think she even tossed out a rubber chicken as she was digging. Inside the chest she found a large old book, a compas, a couple sacks of something, a can of gasoline, and a familiar looking blue crystal. She put the book, compas, and crystal in her satchel bag. She tied a string around the gas can and put it around her other shoulder. She carried the sacks of what I think was fruit in her left arm.

"I think we have enough supplies now." She said.
"Agreed. How do we get out of here again." I said looking around confused.
"That ladder over there." She said pointing behind me.

She walked past me and started climbing the ladder. I followed right behind her, but she somehow got to the top in like 10 seconds. It took me a while to climb the ladder because of how heavy my backpack was. About half way up the ladder I suddenly became lucid because climbing the ladder seemed familiar to me. It may just be coincidence, but I think my day dream might have been successfully helped me become lucid in a way.

"Guess who's lucid!" I shouted happily as I neared the top.
"That's nice. Just hurry up." She said as she grabbed my hand.
"Grouch..." I said as I climbed to the top.

We started walking through a dimly lit metal hall that felt kind of sci-fi. I started to get a weird feeling as I followed her. It felt like something was about to happen and I think she felt it too.

She stopped and said, "Be careful, I think there's a trap ahead."
"Doubt it." I said trying to be positive.

She slowly started walking forward. Then out of know where I heard a streaking sound and saw blood splatter from her stomach. She fell to the ground and lied there motionless.

"Holy crap!" I said as I ran over to her.
I lifted her head and asked her, "Are you okay? Can you move?"

She could only moan in pain. I looked down and saw a huge gash in her stomach. 100 thoughts went through my mind at once for what I could do to save her. Then the thought of simply healing her wound came to mind.

"Okay, don't worry, I think I can heal you." I said to her.
I held out my hands and spoke to myself, "Just focus the magic in my hands..."
"I'm ready!" I shouted once my hands started to glow white.

I then placed my hands over her wound and released the energy into her body. She glowed brightly for a moment. I shielded my eyes and when I looked back her wound was completely healed. She opened her eyes and slowly stood back up. She was alive now, but it looked like she barely had enough energy to stand.

"Awesome! I can heal people now!" I congratulated myself.
"Just hurry up." She said stumbling to through the hall.
"What? No thank you?" I said catching up to her.

The hall led outside. I could see that it was the middle of the night and there was an ocean outside. At the end of the hall was a ladder that went down 10 feet. The elf started climbing down the ladder slowly, but I just jumped straight down. I sat there for a minute or so waiting for her to climb all the way down. We then walked over to a motor boat sitting next the docks.

"Be very careful, or they'll spot us." She whispered.
"I know, I know." I said.
"Take the supplies and put them on the boat while I fill it with gas." She told me.

She grabbed a bunch of bags that were sitting next to the boat and handed them to me. She then tossed the two sacks of fruit and her satchel on top of that. I quickly lost my balance and I stumbled back. I fell onto the boat and tipped it over and all of the supplies were in the water.

"You idiot!" She yelled at me.
"Don't worry! I'll get the stuff back!"
"Don't forget to bring back my bag!" She yelled as I started swimming.

I turned the boat back rightside up so she could fill it with gas. Then I started swimming around the harbor gathering the stuff I lost and putting it back in the boat. Right when I thought I had everything I remembered her satchel. I looked around for it, but I couldn't find it. Then I thought about the possibility of it sinking. I dove underwater to look for it, but it was too dark to see. I then remembered that she stuck a blue crystal inside the bag. It seems that crystals glow when I get near them, so I thought it might glow if I put a lot of focus on it. Luckily it worked, and I saw the bag glowing bright blue between two rocks. I grabbed it and brought it back to the boat.

By the time I got there the elf had already finished filling the boat with gas. She was sitting in the drivers seat ready to get going. I climbed into the boat and we drove away. The dream ended right about here.

Escape Train

Me and the elf were sitting in a very large dimly lit room with a bunch of train tracks. We were in another facility again and trying to escape again. We planned to escape by train, but we needed a train first and to change the direction of the tracks. We walked through a door with a light above it. The room we walked into had a series of ladders that we needed to climb. It was kind of like if Donkey Kong was made 3D. We climbed the first ladder onto a platform. When we climbed up to it there were a few scorpions on the ground.

"Ahh! Scorpions!" I screamed.
"What do we do?" She asked me.
"Kick them! Kick them!" I said as I stomped on one and kicked it.

Once the scorpions were dead we climbed up the second ladder. As I climbed the second ladder I became lucid in the same way I did in the last dream.

"Ladders? Again? What the hell?" I thought out loud.
"Deal with it." The elf told me.

We climbed to the second platform and kicked a few more scorpions before climbing to the third. On the third platform there was another door with a light above it. I tried to open it, but it was locked. I was about to think of a way to pick the lock before the elf charged into it. I think it was a bit much to have to break it open, but it worked. We walked into a well lit control room. There were too large windows on each side looked over too different train stations.

"Go get the train while I guard the door." She said.
"Okay, but what levers do I pull and what buttons do I press?" I asked her.
"I don't know. Just pull all of the levers." She said kicking a scorpion.

I walked over to the left window that overlooked our train station. There seemed to be something in the way that was blurring the glass. I pressed a red button to the right of it and the blurry glass slid out of the way. I still could barely see anything though because of how dark it was in there. So I pressed another button to the right of the window and the lights in the station turned on.

"Hey! They told me lights don't work in dreams!" I said.
"Hurry up. You're wasting time." She ordered me.

I saw a rope hanging above me and I pulled down on it. A train then appeared on one of the tracks in the station. I then saw about 10 red levers below the window. I flipped them all down and as I did that the tracks started to straighten themselves out.

"I did it!" I shouted in excitement.
"Good. Now let's get out of here."
"Wait. There's something wrong." I said starting to get a horrid feeling.
"What did you do this time?" She asked me.
"It feels like there's something down there..." I said trying to find it through the windows.
"Just go already." She ordered me.

We ran past the scorpions and jumped straight down the ground floor. When we walked out the door into the station we were both shocked by what we saw. There was some sort of monster in the station. It was 7 feet tall, had purple flesh, and a sword like claw on each hand. He took a couple of steps towards us and licked the blood off his blade. We took a couple steps back in terror of what we were seeing.

"Look out!" She yelled as he lunged towards us.

He tried to swipe us both with his two blades, but we both rolled out of the way. Although I really really really didn't want to fight this thing, I morphed into a black dragon.

"Get to the train!" I told her as I lunged at the monster.

I gripped with my back claws and started shredding it with my front claws and teeth. The elf then tried running past the monster towards the train. The monster quickly knocked me off of him and turned towards the elf as she ran by. He motioned to take a swipe at her and I slowed down time. I quickly ran between them and attempted to block the attack with arm. The good news was he wasn't able to slice off her head. The bad news is cut my arm really bad and it hurt. I fell to the floor as the elf stood at the back of the train. As the monster was about to take a final stab at me the elf fired a lightning bolt at it. I got up and ran towards the train as fast as I could while the monster chased after me. Once I got inside she pressed a button that closed a strong metalic door. The last thing I remember before waking up was the monster banging on the door, but failing to break it down.

Escape Plane

I can't remember the whole dream. I was on a plane trying to escape again from I don't know what. The seats were oddly arranged like a movie theater and there were a lot of fancy people on board. Then I saw two men and a woman from the back row run towards the cockpit. It looked pretty suspicious to me, so I followed them. When I ran in, the two men had their guns pointed at the pilots. I became lucid at this moment. The woman noticed me and pointed her gun at me.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked.
"What does it look like? We're hijacking this plane!" She told me.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because we're terrorists! That's what we do!" She said.

I was about to ask her another question, but she was getting a bit annoyed with me and shot me in the head. The next thing I know, I'm sitting back in same seat I was before. The only difference now was that I seemed to be the only passenger.

"Woah, weird lucid day dream." I thought to myself.
"Waaaiiit a minute... I wasn't day dreaming! That was a real dream! And this is still a dream!" I yelled out loud.

I then got curious about where everyone was and walked into the cockpit. The terrorists were there again and the two men in the group were trying to fly the plane.

"Hello again." The woman said to me.
"Where are the pilots...?" I asked loking around.
"Over there." She said pointing her gun at two dead bodies in the corner.
"Oh jeez..." I said looking at the bodies.

I walked over to the two men flying the plane. They were doing a pretty crappy job. The radar showed that we were approaching the landing zone.

"There's no way you can land this thing without crashing it." I told them.
"Just wait and see!" She said.
"We're starting to descend." One of the men said.

I walked back into the passenger area and sat down. I tried thinking of a way for me to survive this situation. The only reasonable thing I could come up with was jump out. I saw the emergency exit door and opened it. I waited until we were very close to the ground before I jumped out. I did a roll when I hit the ground in an attempt to lessen the damage on me. Hitting a road at over 100mph is still gonna hurt though and I flew all over the place like a ragdoll. When I finally came to a stop I was on my back. I looked over to see the plane crash into another plane on the ground and explode.

"Holy crap! This freaking hurts!" I yelled before I woke up.
