Another shared dream attempt I have a false awakening but purposely go back to sleep in order to have a WILD, I WILD successfully although I am not at my home (my false awakening took place at my family's house in France) I walk out of the house and into the back garden, I focus on Windhover and chant her name looking throughout the dreamscape to see if I can see which direction she may be in, as I chant her name I can see some clouds in the background break apart quite drastically - I need to focus in on this : I imagine a large dial in my hands and try to turn slowly looking for her signal, I get all the way around - I cannot find her. For some reason this is not working today. Maybe Windy is not Asleep yet? Maybe there is another reason? For some reason when I try to tune or create a portal I just can't - I don't know why this is
Venus was in-line with the sun last night and so I had a weird dream! 'Spontaneous lucidity' I am walking in what looks like a shopping centre/mall, all of a sudden, without reason I a lucid - I just know I am dreaming, I do not need to check. I remember allot of warm colors in the mall, yellows and oranges, I think I am somewhere where it is usually allot warmer than the UK. As I walk along I feel my l dream slipping, I am going to wake up. So I stop a stare at a strawberry that is being displayed on a fruit stand, I get really close and can see the tiny individual pips on the surface of the strawberry. I sit down and breath slowly in and out while staring at these details and am able to steady my dream again (a small success for me in regards to dream control!) as I walk further into the shopping mall this happens again with a banana I think, eventually I decide that I will try to find someone, just someone that is not supposed to be in my dream/a 'real' person. I find a girl/woman standing at the entrance of a shop, she has tight brown curls and is very pretty. We embrace and then I have a false awakening; I am sitting in the same shopping mall but this time sitting in a circle with around 8-10 others, sitting across from me is the same girl I just had the dream about: we are trying to determine whether we had a successful shared dream. I describe what it is that I had dreamt, but the girl is finding it difficult to remember. She then mentions something about a orange, which somebody, I am thinking was 'kiara' who posted that thread up about 'wanting a shared dream' says that it is a success, I argue that it doesn't count - but then she holds up a sheet that she has written up - on the sheet is a table cross referencing everything that could mean something else. I do not remember the others in the circle but they could have possibly been the other members of the IOSDP... Sirius Black smooth Dream fragment of walking along with Sirius lack and noticing how ridiculously smooth his skin is! Bogey sandwich!!! I am watching some kind of extreme cooking program, the chef on the program is explaining how to make food dishes out of things we find growing around us etc, he goes onto explain how bogey's (snot) is very nutritious and cuts to a bowl filled with tony dried bogies, he takes a few on a spoon and puts them in a sandwich - I know, totally gross right? urgh!

Dream Fragment: I am having a pretty crappy dream, I can't remember what it is about, but it makes me sad - depressed even. I'm standing on what I think is a deck on a large cruise ship, somebody is talking to me, what they are saying is making me sad - I stare out at this large painting, it seems kinda abstract - just a purple sky with objects floating about. As I stare into this painting, fazing out the monologue I just think, fuck it - and fly up into the painting to escape. Everything gets really weird at this point as I am in the painting, but it just feels so much more relaxing - this place is serene - I'm flying inside another reality - the reality of the painting...
Death row There is a kid, he misses his dad. He stays at some place, a 'foster home' until he can be back with his dad. He doesn't feel right here - but his dad, he doesn't respect him, he doesn't even seem to care for him. He knows he's not a clever kid, at school they put him in a special 'learning group', and his friends - they just call him a retard. He misses his dad. Today he gets to see his dad, he is excited - he walks across the big city to the scary looking building. When he arrives his dad is sitting across from him but they are separated by a piece of glass. His dad, who usually has a kind of disdain for his kid just looks at him with sorrow in his eyes. He's never looked this way before - what's going on? * skip to first person view, I am the kid, or I can feel everything that the kid is feeling I know, this is not good is it? What is going on Dad? I see that his cuts on his fingers and wrists are open again, I take carefully cut pieces of sticky tape that I bought with me from the foster home, and pass them to my dad. I guess I should have taken a bandage but this is all I could find. He smiles at me, with that sadness in his eyes, and wraps the tape around his cuts. He tells me that he needs to go and won't be coming back, he says something about having to be executed the next day. I don't understand. He tells me that he is going to be killed. I start to cry, a massive ball of emotion surges inside of me - I scream and cry at him - he can't leave me, I don't want to loose my dad - I CAN'T loose my dad!! I don't want to be alone. Cruise control I am on a Cruise, I see an old college friend who I catch up with, we get on real well. I help her with a project she's working on and in return, because of the place she works she gives me all of these real cool toys/collector figures. I see the time, it is late and I need to get back - the dream starts to have a transparency to it, as I look out from the ship's deck I see a grand city spread out in front of me, we must be near New York, but I see through this and realize that this is all me. I watch the work men dig some kind of tunneling next to the shore, as they carry out there work, shoveling and tunneling, calling to one another I wonder why I am seeing this, of all the possible things I could see to represent a city I am seeing this particular combination of events. I wonder if the old college friend is Windhover...
WILD attempts It is around 4am uk time, I need meet with Windhover. I go into mentally turning left and right until I go into a Wild, but as soon as I roll out of bed I wake, I try this many time and get to different stages of WILDing. I finally get a proper WILD, I walk down the stairs and out of my house, it is dark outside - something is not right - it's nearly ALWAYS light, and I've just walked out onto my street - usually I go to random places. I cannot focus, my vision is all blurry, I can feel my heart pounding in my chest - perhaps I am too excited? 'Clarity NOW' I shout 'CLARITY NOW' I demand again but it is too late everything is fading and I wake I go back under into a false awakening, or maybe it's a WILD, I'm not sure - I'm excited at trying to dream share with Windy - but then a wall mounted tv switches on in my bedroom (which I do not have in RL) it is a woman reading a news report (I think she was asian looking with long black hair) she is reading a kind of news report, saying how dream sharing can be dangerous - once the link is made there may not be a way to come back - you could be stuck in the astral. WTF? I've never heard about this before, I've always read the opposite - but something about this news report scares me, like I'm on the edge of a dream share - this is real and is going to happen but something very dangerous is afoot. hmmm. I wake. Na'vi shared? I am a Na'vi, from the movie Avator - I am sitting inside a some kind of space craft high in the clouds. Another Na'vi is with me , we are going to jump out of the ship, base jump onto one of those flying creatures (I cannot remember the correct name) I am holding a large framed photo or painting in one of my hands. I cannot remember what it is, I just remember that it is a portrait of a guy, he's smiling so that we can see his white teeth - I think he is wearing a cowboy hat! We are happy because we have found something, something to do with dream control I think - my power/or title is 'the spirit of the Lion' This is a weird dream and seems somehow out of place - could this have been shared? Toilet humor I am sitting on a bench and on the end of the bench is a toilet. A woman uses the toilet next to me, and because of this I got toilet in a hole in the bench, this seems normal somehow - and then I get up, reach past the woman to retrieve some toilet paper. The woman then starts to brush her legs and thighs with what looks like a make-up brush - but she is brushing on some kind of transparent jelly substance on lots of small open scars/wounds. A teacher then comes into the room and explains to us what exactly she is doing, it turns out that she has somekind of rare illness/desease where she has to put this special substance onto the wounds to help them heal. Ben Folds I am watching tv with my wife when Ben Folds comes on the tv, he starts singing some thing and it sounds really good live, my wife turns the tv up. Distracting Baby I am waiting in a queue with my wife an my daughter who is sitting in her pushchair. A woman is standing next to us and accidentally drops a coin while she is fumbling around in her purse, the coin drops onto my daughter's hand and leaves a mark! She appologises and give my daughter some more coins to play with, one of the coins is a twenty pence piece but 3 times the size of a regular coin. She then gives my daughter her house keys to play with! Note - this woman seemed similar to the woman I saw in my previous dream warning about dream sharing - could this be the same woman? Could it also be the same woman I saw in the dream I tried to share with Windhover where I saw three woman?
18/05/2012 Hotel Biff I am back in my old home town where I grew up - Finedon, me and my wife are visiting an old childhood friend of mine, for some reason we are going to stay at his dad's house. I pay 'Biff' the money so that we can stay in his house for the night. The next thing that happens is blurry, next thing I know it is morning, I am in my old parents house and I need to get to school!! I figure I can get the bus with my little sister, but it takes me too long to get ready, so instead I decide to take the later bus - but what time does it arrive? No matter how much I think about it I just cannot remember - I take this bus everyday though - it was just yesterday that I took this damn bus! What time does it arrive? (in reality it's been nearly 14 years since I last took that bus lol!) Room 28 I am staying at another hotel, I seemed to have booked it on my own, without my family (perhaps they are coming later) it's a grand old hotel with many floors, and my room is right at the top! As I walk out the front door into this dark town I do not recognize I head toward the car park where I meet my wife - she reminds me that I forgotten something in the hotel room - I head back, it takes me a LONG time to reach my room, right at the top in the attic - I cannot remember what I went to get :/ What I do remember is that the room number is 28 Airship fun I am sitting on the top of an airship with my wife and daughter (who is 3) the top of this air ship is flat and suitable for sitting on, but it has no barriers and I am scared that my daughter will fall off of the side. While my wife is playing with a ball with my daughter a man behind a kind of turret on one end of the top of the airship is firing smoke missiles at my wife and daughter - I have to keep catching the smoke pellets and throwing back at him while trying to keep my daughter from falling of of the side of the ship every time she goes after a ball that my wife is throwing - this has got to be the definition of STRESSFUL!
finally, I think my dry spell is starting to be over - I hate dry spells, if only there was a way we could get rid of them completely!! - I have a small Lucid where I realize I am dreaming while talking to my sister. My real memory is fuzzy, and for some reason I think she is staying at my house in real life so I feel it is a good time to try to do a shared dream. Without checking if she is a DC or not I start to tell her that she is dreaming - she just looks at me blankly. So I get a £10 note and rip it up in front of her to try and get a reaction - but she is still just dumbly staring at me. I then rip my head in two so that at the least, if this is really her then she may be able to remember it - but again, not much reaction! - weird disturbing dream of a kind of reality television show, a group of people, some of which are celebrities are sitting around what I think is a steam room. There are two commentators, and they are giving advice on sex. The camera pans to - Sylvester Stallone having sex with some random woman, as the commentators try to give him advice he just turns and says something like 'It's too late, I've finished' and chuckles, prompting the others in the room to laugh with him. urgh - I'm walking around a type of military complex, dark high walls surround me. I have foreign thoughts in my mind, positive ideas regarding society and my country. I realize I am dreaming (or I think I do) and realize that all of this is a fabricated dream - it must be being beamed into my mind by the government. I then quickly deduce that everybody must be having this - it is one of the ways which they are controlling us. (I have no idea what to think of this dream - lol!) - I am in some kind of small concert hall with my wife, we are all seated around in a kind of semicircle. I start to sing 'lump' to myself from the Presidents and suddenly everybody in the concert hall starts to sing the song at the same time - it sounds awesome!! My wife then mentions a Motorhead song, and the guy starts singing an acoustic slow pop version of a motorhead song - which is pretty funny!
finally!!! my lucidity is getting back ! dream 1 - I become lucid right away when dream starts. I'm at my hometown holding a dark blue umbrella; it's raining like cats and dogs. I see bricks falling from a tall light tower... the dream is so vivid and long. holding my unbrella I fly all over the town. near me there's my elementay school, but the buidlings that surround the school are all unfamilar. I fly over to the top of the buildings and find a port. the raining stops. I see a huge steam boat coming in the port and hear people below talking. I was afraid of being found out that I'm actually flying, so I leave the port behind. I dont know how I get to somewhere where there's TV, maybe I am at a train station? I am watching a TV.(it was LCD monitor) I want to see my comic PPM as an animation film so I imagine my character Yerin from PPM on the Tv. her face is vivid but the animation sucks. she is waiting for the bus, which reminds me of Dong-in so I imagine him coming toward her. he's wearing that school uniform, but his hair was in weird shape, so I think 'what? that's not his hair!' and then his hair starts to change in a very weird way..... it was funny, but very weird.. -.- anyway Dong-in walks in, greeting Yerin friendly, but she says 'what', being tsun-tsun and all. they sit separately on the bus. Yerin's face blushes. at this moment the anime ends and 2 commercials air.(the commercials were so old, like 90's) after that a question about my PPM anime appeared on the screen: raise your hand if you feel the anime version is different from real comic. I think, of course it is different, and there are 7-8 kids beside me, then 4-5 kids raise their hand. another question appeared: raise your hand if you want PPM comic to be animated.(!!!!) and everyone raises hand including me! I am kinda excited. lol when I turn around I am suddenly in kind of big theatre/ auditorim/ big building with bunch of rooms. I look around and walk, and find a music recording studio, which an orchestra is preparing for recording. I also find a room where 'cartoon culture content award' ceremony is going. I recognize a man who has to do with PPM anime... I feel a little mad toward him when he gets an award. (bc the animation sucked?) I pass the music studio again, seeing women talking in their seats while the players playing their instruments. I do the internet in a computer room I've found and have an urge to search PPM opening song video on Youtube. the video is really weird. it's just a slideshow of retarded high schoolers, and the song is completely unrelated (song by singer Cool?). I scroll down because it's so embarrassing... so I watch that PPM anime again. it's exactly the same anime I saw a while ago (even though it was dream, the anime was still the same, I thought it would change) seeing Dong-in's hair changing in a weird way, again -.- Yerin says 'wut' then she gets on the bus. at this moment I suddenly put myself into the anime scene(?!) and get on the bus before Dong-in comes. I take a seat in the same row with Yerin, and when Dong-in gets on the bus, I forcefully push his shoulder so that he can sit with Yerin. He sits with Yerin, making puzzled face toward me, then I sit like a badass, saying "hey you guys. if you guys sit like that, then what am I? huh?' I think I say this because I kinda want to tease the 'couple'. (forever alone....) Yerin blushes her face again. I laugh because this situation is so funny, and then I wake up. I was still laughing in my bed.
My Dream recall has been real bad lately, just not remembering anything! Somebody new I am walking with my wife and she is explaining to me that she has met someone else. She still loves me, but, she loves this other guy as well so she won't be seeing me as much. It's such a casual conversation that until she leaves I don't fully realize what this means. And then it hits me, DAMN! A walk into the past I'm walking along an old street I walked when I was a kid, in an old town I used to live in. I Start to think about how a few years ago I new so many people down this street, how it was impossible for me to go down this busy street without catching up with someone I knew. But I'm older now (I just hit 30) and everybody I knew here has grown up and moved on, things have changed, I've changed; I feel old. I start to think of how it was so unfair that I couldn't just transport myself back in time, just to say hi, because I missed some friends. Oh the irony, if only I knew I was dreaming I could have done exactly that! Robots Dream fragment: I am a robot, waiting in line with two other robots in front of me.
dream 1 - I'm in a Smart car with my brother and dad. my dad drive the car and he goes into the ocean O_O I recognize the background that we're in Hawaii. we drive on the square logs floating on the ocean. when we crossed it after, I get off the car and go into the water to confirm something on the logs. the water is emerald bright, but something like wood chips and dirty little things are floating on the surface of water... dream 2 - I'm in comic class doing some kind of group project with my friends. I am tiding something, and this one guy got annoyed from me for some reason, so I'm mad, saying 'what? what's with you? do you have something against me?' and then he gets a little scared lol I see 2 men infront of me, talking about my business talent(??) to scout me! wth?
I am at my hometown apartment, but the house has different atmosphere. My cousin's family is here. I'm playing with a small white puppy in my grandma's room. there's a big green bowl containing chocolate candies on the cabinet. I throw one to the puppy and I try one too. it's really sugary with chocolate-milk taste. it's good anyway! then suddenly the puppy runs out of the room and I follow him. there's my aunt in the living room, preparing dog food for the puupy, saying "he doesnt eat anything. he should stop eating those junk foods!" so I say "hey Aunt, you should starve him, he will eventually eat the meal. my other aunt once did this to feed her dog." I try to find that puupy in the kitchen. he keeps trying to hide in the corner. I find him, and grab him with my hand but then he slips out and turns into...an.... ant. I'm like wtf?! then he turns into a puppy again, but then he turns into little fly and fly away. at this point I felt really weird and thought how could this happen?! but never got lucid.... I tell my aunt about this and her face gets puzzled. I am on the sofa chilling out, and Aunt brought new puppy; a small bull dog. he jumps on the sofa beside me, being shy and all. so I pet his head and he gets friendly and tries to hug me. I hug him really tightly, and he hugs me too. I think he speaks that he's really happy to see me. I feel really really great. suddenly scene jumps. I'm on the tour bus with my cousin's family going to some kind of island fishing? there is my black bag infront of me. the bull dog and I try to draw a monkey face on it, and we laugh. we get off the bus. I'm confused whether I have to take visa with me or not...
Super Hero Trouble I am in a street when suddenly a masked super hero jumps down and confronts a business man wearing a suit, I'm not sure what the guy has done wrong but the superhero ties him upside down to a crane that is high above the ground, swinging from left to right. After the man is tied up the superhero leaves, I look up at this guy that is hanging - the knot that tied him to the crane isn't strong enough and he's slipping, closer and closer to the ground while swinging from left to right. The guy is sobbing - shouting out 'please someone help me! I didn't do anything wrong, please help me, get me down from here!!!' I then realise that this is a tv show, I am watching it at home (no longer in the street) It's apparently a film based on an Alan Moore book, but because Alan Moore doesn't want anything to do with the film he is slyly referenced in the film through another means - the super hero discovers that he must go to 'Alan Moore Street' Climbing to the top Dream fragment: I am climbing up some stairs, the person who I am trying to find is important somehow (god perhaps?) - the journey is long, this must be somekind of tower - I climb and climb and finally reach the top - there are two doors opposite one another. The door on the right has a light coming from it - I knock on the door and hear a booming noise in reply. At this point I must have started to wake up because instead of the dream continuing I imagine a forced conversation with this man where I come up with the replies.Not sure what is said though, but for some reason I think of Popeye when I wake up.
I went to bed at 10:15 and had really nice sleep, but before bed I thought about LDing and SDing too much which led to failure of WILD... I'm a bug! I'm some kind of flying bug; I don't exactly know what am I but I think I'm a dragonfly. (similar to Zhuangi's butterfly dream!?) I had my two bug friends beside me. We are running away from a predator. this dream is kinda fuzzy but I remember flying over the grass and landing on a leaf. weird! I'm human but there are still more bugs? My family, neighbor H family and W family are having a trip to somewhere I recognize as a place of pond/ lake. There are so many fireflies that we have to clean them up. I see big ladybugs. after that H family leaves for home and we get ready to go home, too. we are passing thru a plastic bag? tunnel and inside, there are also plastic bag 'blocks' and there is a little hole that has a size about human head, and we have to pass it. I was frustrated.
Where in the (dream)world is Katsuno? I have a nice and smooth WILD at around 6am this morning. I can sense that I am not fully under so I just float up and down on my bed until I am fully under. I get out of bed, rub my hands together (they don't feel like they are fully there yet and feel like numb, tingly bits of limbs. I walk down my stairs and come to my front door so I try to walk through it -ow! hmm, I try it again - OWW! OK, perhaps I'll just do it the old fashioned way - I open the door with the handle and walk out into my street. The road is covered in thick snow. I walk further down the street and rub my hands together again - time for a portal. 'KATSUNO, KATSUNO' I start to chant and wave my arms about in a circular motion. I do this for a while until I release that nothing is happening - not even a spark, damn! So rather than waste more time on this I take off flying into the sky, superman style - I shoot forward real fast trying to get an idea of which direction to go into by trying to sense where Katsuno is. I have no idea, all the directions seem viable - perhaps I'm thinking too linear? After all there cannot really be a real three dimensional directional system as we know it in the real world right? Perhaps I'm thinking too much, for some reason I start to slow down and I take this as my cue to land. I find myself in a busy high street with shops all around me. I touch things as I walk, bits of fabric, the concrete ground - to keep myself lucid and prevent myself from waking. I need to find Katsuno! Where to go now? I think about a piece I was reading the day before about how the law of attraction works in dreams and how (quoted from the cusps's 'Nature of Dream Control' ) : 1. Everything in your dreams requires your attention to exist. 2. The more attention you give to one element, the more detail it creates in relation to what you are focused on. But for the life of me I can't think of what to focus on which would help to get me to Katsuno, I guess if it was something I wanted to manifest and create from my own subconscious then this method would be relevant, but I'm trying to find a real person! I walk into a shop and take a good look around, the shop is small and cramped but it seems to sell a bit of everything. Some (blue?) fabric at one end of the shop, some electronics in the middle. There is somebody, a man, waiting at the till - I go to ask him if he knows where Katsuno is - he just shakes his head to say no (I think, this part is a bit fuzzy) Then I think about trying to contact Kat via the internet, so I look around for a computer - but I cannot see any - and before I can do anything else I hear a sound in real life and it wakes me up. Maybe try a phone call next time? What do you think guys, what methods should I use to get in contact with you? False awakening I then 'wake up' and I tell my wife how I dream t it was snowing outside, but then when I pull back the curtains I find that it is a nice sunny day, not only that but I take a long look at the view - we live in a beautiful area (though it is exaggerated somewhat for the dream) I can see fields upon fields and new houses that look more like semi-transparent Eco friendly self-sufficient huts that people have started to live in. We then go out to walk outside and find ourselves in a massive stadium, it is the Olympic stadium, ready for the 2012 UK Olympics. It is very empty, save for some athletes who are practicing. I nearly get knocked over by two approaching runners , I need to step to one side to avoid the collision. I cannot remember the rest of the dream
edit: All night I was repeating to myself 'go to the giza pyramids - find windhover' I woke up quite a few times (I took 3 htp-5 pills) but kept repeating this mantra over and over and over. Hide and Seek I am going into somekind of nightclub, it looks kinda like a castle. We are all lined up ready to sign in or pay to get in, I am with my wife who hasn't been hear before but apparently I have. I hear somebody from further back in the line say something like 'you have to watch out for Sean, he's tricky - he's not scared to where a dress!' When we get into the club I find that we are outside. It is not a club though, it is a massive game of hide and seek - it seems kinds random who hides and who seeks, I think we can chose. So I run out into a clearing where I see a large fallen tree and hide beside it - I am good at this game and it will take them a while to find me! FIIIGGGHHHTTT!! I am at a school, it is not the one I went to when I was a kid, this one is more ethnically diverse, for some reason prominently having boys who are black in the class, and perhaps a couple of white boys in the class also. This school is a very rough school and it makes me feel uneasy being here. When I walk into the classroom I feel a hand smack me on the back of the head, and a guy with a pissed off look tells me to watch where I am going. This makes me feel real angry but I keep my cool and sit down. Some other kid walks into the class room and the same thing happens to him though he was smacked by a different kid. In the classroom the teacher is trying to teach us something about science, and is showing us a handgun. I hear an insult fire across the room at me, thats it - I've had enough! I run across the room and start punching this guy, and then everybody starts to join in - fighting each other, it's crazy! Suddenly there is a gun shot - the teacher has shot the hand gun and the bullet has gone into the wall next to us - this brings the class to silence. I am pretty shocked that a teacher would do this, I walk out of the class room and see that in another classroom near us exactly the same thing has happened, which I think is strange - but then I see that the bullet in the wall is not a bullet but a set explosive - it's been set up to LOOK like a gun was fired. That's what happened then, the teachers just need something more in order to control the kids... Windhover I am coming to waking up, my dreams are become looser, less defined - but then I hear a voice penetrate my dream - it sounds like the voice of god - lol! It is a female voice, she has an accent when she speaks, it's not a Chinese accent, but she pronounces English words in a similar way. She says: 'THIS IS WINDHOVER, MEET ME NEAR SOME WATER' This totally wakes me up from my dream, I am lucid now but everything is breaking away around me, it's becoming more like hypnagogia but in reverse (I can't remember what that is called) I call out 'what water do you mean?' but it is too late, I am waking up
