My otherworldly experiences.

Orange = Lucid

If only I could remember more of this. It might make a bit more sense, lmao.

I'm somewhere random trying to help this guy bury this dude who accidentally killed himself with a gun (he was about to kill the guy I was with but the gun electrocuted his heart, resulting in him dying instantly). We don't know what to do with the body. There's a pond next to us which I spot out though (we're all standing (in the dead guy's case, lying) on a pile of logs) and me and the guy I'm with roll him off into the pond. We can still see the body. Then somebody is coming for us. I jump up and grab onto something above me, hauling the rest of me up in the process. The guy I'm with hides himself. We don't get caught.

We're now outlaws in the middle of nowhere. It's not just me and this guy though, there's more of us now (we're all dressed up as animals for some reason). This guy is the leader and he's a vulture (or something) Suddenly we're about to get busted again by some form of authority. I curl into a really small ball as to avoid being seen, and surprisingly, I get away with it.

I'm now in a random room. It's baby-like. I'm in a bed with Dad lying next to me. He seems different though. He's way more open, and for some reason fondling my 'area' with his foot, although I don't think he's aware that he's doing so.Then the thought clicks ''Wait, where am I? I'm in a child's room with my Dad who's acting strange and treating me like a child... WHAT?! Have I gone back in time?!''

I'm now in the kitchen with Mum, terrified about the whole going back in time thing, as it's happened a few times and I have zero control over it. I ask her how old I am (to find out where I am). She refuses to answer. I go into the dining room and Dad's coming out of the living room, so I ask him how old I am. He replies ''10''. I freak out. ''What?! NO, I'm almost 18! What's going on?! I'm travelling back in time for reason and I can't stop it at all?!'' Mum dismisses my views. Dad says ''Actually, I have been noticing differences about you recently. You've gotten really tall suddenly for example!'' (I also noticed I wasn't wearing any glasses here, which I wear all the time; another thing which made me think I had gone back).
Then the light goes out, and Mum passes me the phone. I can hear our dead cat on the other end, but there's scary music playing as well, so I put it down quickly and turn the light back on. I'm desperate to be acknowledged at this stage (I'm literally panicking). Something really doesn't feel right. I think to myself ''Why am I going back in time?! How do I stop it?!'' I try to tell Mum about Dizzy (our cat) dying in the 'future'. She doesn't have a clue who Dizzy is. I then realise this must be before we got her, so telling her about it is absolutely pointless.

I'm now on my bike heading to town. It's night and my lights don't work, so I have to be careful not to get hit by cars. I'm still dead scared about the whole time travelling thing.

I'm going down a hill as a near town, passing people with dogs and such. As I enter, it suddenly becomes a house. There's a girl and a boy sitting at the end of a bed, on the floor, to the right of me. In front of me there are stairs. I go down them. There's load of people sitting on couches and having a laugh. None of them seem to welcome me, and make no inclination to wanting me to sit with them/wanting to make room for me. I decide to go back upstairs. The girl and the boy are about to get off. I figure I want to join in some of the action, too, but they tell me no. I think to myself ''It's alright. I can just change it so that they let me.''
.................................................. .
''WAIT. WHAT?! That means I'm dreaming!''
By this point I realised that everything around me was extremely vivid (hence why I mistook it for reality) and became lucid. I almost didn't believe that I was dreaming though, so I did a reality check by trying to push my thumb through my hand. It failed. I figured this might happen (like a previous dream I had where I was dying, and tried this RC only to fail) so I proceeded to hold my nose and try to breathe. During the middle of this, I then noticed a mirror in front of me. One of my best friends Kevin was running (in the mirror) towards me. He then smashed clean through, and was in the room with us. I thought to myself ''Yup, I'm dreaming alright.''

I then woke up pretty much instantly. However, I think this was due to the fact I had to wake up at 7, and I woke up about 2 minutues before because my sub-conscious didn't want the shock of the alarm.

I'm in college, near the lecture theatre, looking through my bag for some change so that I can go to the vending machine in the main building. Adrian (one of my college lecturers) comes up to me and starts rambling on about some things (which I can't remember) but keeps getting closer to me until the point where he's leaning on me. I'm thinking to myself: ''What the hell is he doing, touching me up?''
Note: Me and my friend Niall constantly make jokes about him being a child molester.
I just want him to go away to be honest, because I'm having difficulty finding these coins which are randomly in the bottom of my bag amongst the horde of other things.
He eventually leaves, which means I can go back home, but he reminds me to pick up my bag which I left on a bench nearby, just around the corner, out of my line of sight. I think to myself ''Phew. Glad he reminded me about that. My laptop/computer is in there!'' I then go back to the bench and pick it up, thinking to myself ''Yeah, nobody's gonna get this, so don't even think about it.'' then get my bike and head out of college.
For some reason I take a seemingly different route 'home' and find myself crossing the road and going up a steep and large hill, to which I find a dead end facing me at the top. I'm now standing with my bike wondering how to continue on my way (there are walls higher than me all around me except for the way I just came from, a grassy landscape located on the top level).
Jemma Rodgerson then appears, looking down on me. I ask her how I'm meant to get out of here and she simply replies ''Climb up.'' I comply, and first throw my bike up, then finally lift myself up. I ask her what she's doing alone out here and she tells me she's on the run from the police (or somebody else with authority) because she's done something bad.
We both sit down and chill out, talking about things.

My memory is quite limited for most of these, so there may be little I can write, but here:

1st dream -
I'm with Mum and Tabitha in some kind of snowy landscape. A natural disaster happens and then most of the snow landslides until there's a vast space of water and the landscape goes into some sort of cataclysmic state. We're separated. There are many many other people affected by this as well. We all join as one to find our loved ones, and set out on some massive journey. It's freezing cold, and we often have to swim to get around. Along the way, hatred and contention arises. People fall out and want to kill each other. I'm smoking weed with part of the group at one point. Eventually we reach some sort of encampment. I don't know if I was reunited with my family at this point. I don't think so. The atmosphere is very tense for everybody.

That's all I can really remember. It was one of those really long dreams, and quite a lot happened. Sadly, my memory fails me.

2nd dream -
I'm in the midst of a World of Warcraft battleground (Warsong Gultch) in the Alliance base (I'm Horde. Whoop!) A tauren is carrying the enemy flag but he gets nuked. However, the Alliance scum who did so was also carrying our flag and I kill him in response. I'm then faced with both flags in front of me. Naturally, I take both. But, to avoid confrontation, I take a secret route over the top of the battleground, along a long and narrow wooden thing which has a support sprouting off into the ground next to our base. I'm worried about jumping down because it's extremely high and I may take too much falling damage, die, and then respawn without the flags (which puts us back to square one). I take the chance and try to slide as slowly as I can down this 'pole' thing, fortunately I come to no harm, and am greeted by an Undead, who I hand our flag. We then take another secret route around our base (to avoid being spotted) which brings us to an entrance which is located underground, and we enter some sort of stronghold. I feel like the man of the match, as carrying 2 flags is impossible in the real game. We go through a gate and into a chamber. We're greeted by some sort of Titan, who I re-call fighting with side by side during the end of the first War, along with a night elf.

And that's all I can remember.

3rd dream -
I'm in some sort of prison or being held hostage by an opposing force. For some reason, I've joined the X-Men in place of Storm, who is no where to be seen. We plan a break-out and are successful, although are on the run since our captors are tracking our movements. We get a moments peace next to some sort of building. We're talking. They ask me whether I'm cut out for the job. I tell them I am. I possess the same flying boots which Storm has, and I fly up to the top of this building. There's a toolbox on the roof, directly in the middle. It contained a joint/cigarette. I either smoked it or put it down. I then flew back down, and one of them told me I was needed for a mission. Me and one of them were to get into a nearby car and drive off, hopefully escaping our followers. I agreed to it. Me and the guy then got into the vehicle and I told him I could drive but don't know anything about gears. He replied and told me it was fine, and that he would give directions and work the gears himself. We set off. My driving skills were quite shakey, but we didn't crash or anything, and I was able to follow instructions efficiently, although they were gaining on us. Eventually they got too close so he told me that we had to bail. He said that if we didn't make them chase us they wouldn't think that the car had something important in it, so we could easily reclaim it later (apparently we were transporting something of worth), so I did as he said, and activated my boots, sending myself high into the air. This guy possessed inhuman speed and started racing off, with me shortly behind him. Our followers were getting considerably closer and we came to a dead end. There was a ledge we could climb up, though, so we did, ''Batman style'' to put it his way. We came to another dead end at that point though, so I said ''once I've got up I'll carry you and we can easily get away because I can fly''.

I was just about to make it to the top and then I realised I had woken up.


As I said before, I know a lot more happened than this, because I can sort of see it in my mind's eye. It's just a shame I can't put it into words.
(Being Storm was deffo my highlight of the night, however)

Lucid = Orange

So, after my success at remembering a dream I nearly almost completely forgot (and bits from the dream before, but not enough to be able to write it down) I decided to try my luck with another WILD. In terms of time from the point of waking up to deciding to throw in the towel, that lasted 2 hours.
HOWEVER, this wasn't a complete failure! I had reached a VERY different state of consciousness, and I feel as if I entered a deeper state of SP than usual, so CLEARLY I'm getting somewhere! This knowledge armed me with absolute positivity, and I'm certain it was the key to my success this morning.

After lying awake for ages trying to get back to sleep, I suddenly found myself in a dream completely lucid and aware of the fact I was dreaming. My recollection of my lucid experiences are kinda vague, and I'm not sure which one came 1st and 2nd, but I shall record what I can:

(NOTE: I haven't had a lucid dream for a week and a half, and have only had 3 since my interest arose.)

I'm talking to some guy. He asks me a question but I can barely talk so I just shake my head. He doesn't approve of my answer so he hits me. I then think to myself ''Hey, what was that for?! Oh, wait... I've heard about this kinda thing before. Better get myself outta this place quick before he takes away my lucidity!'' So I jumped with the intentions of flying away, and found myself ascending, so I flapped my wings a bit and thought ''UP!'' and hey, I found myself high in the sky. ''WOO!!'' I thought to myself, and started randomly flying away, noting the fact I was EXTREMELY high and that I'm scared of heights. It scared me a little, but I knew I was dreaming so I was in control. After a while it was too much for me though, so I slowed myself down and tried to land. I started 'falling' to the ground quite fast though, so I was a little worried of what would happen. Surprisingly, I landed 'oh so softly'. I then started walking around and eventually lost lucidity.

Upon waking up, I knew I could go straight back into another dream, and I did so pretty much effortlessly:

I was now in a people-carrier with my friend Louie, some other guy I knew, and random people. Upon seeing Louie I was like ''DUDE!! I haven't seen you in ages man! How's it going? How's the weed?'' He said he was good and that he had stopped. I was like ''Good man! Same here, actually.'' Then the 'other guy' asked me how my education (college) was going. I told him ''It was going really well, until we got a week off 'cause of half term, and I then became lazy and did nothing. Since then, I haven't really been able to pick it back up.''
I can't remember what happened next (if anything at all), but the dream then went to black. HOWEVER, I was adamant that I WOULDN'T let another lucid success go this early. I could see the slightest smidge of HI (I was awake at this point, I think, but I was totally unconscious of my body) held on to that slight image, and brought myself back into another dream.

I found myself in a random house, lying next to somebody's bed on the floor. There was a man in it with glasses but I can't remember if I talked to him or not. I then thought to myself ''Hmm. What about a bit of lucid sex? I'll turn a corner and hopefully see Laura (this hawt as girl in the year above me at school) standing there if I believe it enough.
Anyway, I got up, went out of the room and into a hallway. It was night time. There was some kid walking up and down the hallway holding a smaller child in his arms, and loads of doors either side of me. I thought to myself ''This house is huge. It must be some sort of foster care home like in Tracy Beaker or w/e'' I then decided to explore this place a bit and turned a corner. More doors. So, I went through a door expecting to see Laura. There was a small girl (aged 8-10 maybe) sitting on her bed watching TV. I thought ''No man. Just no.'' and went out the room, back down the hallway and saw that same kid again holding the smaller kid in his arms (he looked sad. I wondered what had happened to both of them), turned a corner and hoped for the best. No luck. So I ventured more around this strange place hoping to see her around every corner. Still nothing. Then I woke up.

Now, I know more than this happened because I remember more people and more places, however, I really can't remember it well. In any case, I'm VERY proud of myself for doubling my lucid count in one morning!

Note: I must be getting better at dream recall/recognising when I've just finished a REM period, because if it weren't for the fact I clicked to the detail at the end of this entry, I would have forgotten the entire thing.

I'm in Poundland (with a random school class, it would seem) on the second floor (which doesn't actually exist, but hey). We're all sitting around random tills in groups packaging (what I think was) some sort of pasta (which was crunchy but not ridiculously hard).
Anywhoo, we're (my group) all going about doing our own thing and generally messing around (as per most of my school days) and eating from this massive pile of 'pasta' that's on the till in front of us. There's some stuck up girl on the till next to us (who needs to go die in a hole) laughing at my face, too (yeah, I got A LOT of abuse during school).
Class ends. We're all free to leave for lunch, so I stuff my pockets with this pasta stuff and walk out with 2 of my best mates Axl and Callum. There's music playing and it's ridiculously loud so we have to yell to communicate with each other. As we're going downstairs I ask Axl what we have next but he's unsure (I think the music fades out too, or gets quieter at least), so Callum steps in and tells us we have R.S next. Axl says ''Good work Callum.'' I then think to myself ''Oh, sweet. That's pretty much a free lesson then since we do nothing anyway? I know, I'll buy some sweets for it since we're in Poundland!'' So me and Callum head towards the sweets at the front of the store (Axl's randomly disappeared), and I'm looking at the random bits near the tills, and pick out something, then look at these shelves nearby. The sweets are too high up for me so I ask Callum to give me a hand but instead he goes ''Aww, look at this!'' and he's holding a 'World of Warcraft: Cataclysm' CD in his hand which he found on the shelf below what I'm after. I only have a £10 gift voucher though and it's £15, so I tell him I can't afford it (plus I can't afford the subscription currently, which I remembered in my dream).
He then starts looking at the Xbox's on the same shelf (which, for some reason, are PS1's? Although at the time we think they're Xbox's) there was 3 types: The classic grey one, a typical camo skinned one, and a black camo skinned one (the black one being the newest, most advanced one, like in real life). Then he starts looking at the controllers and manages to break one, laughing and showing me the buttons, which he quickly hides.
At this point I'm getting annoyed because I originally just wanted a lift up so I tell him ''C'mon man give me a lift!'', to which he agrees to and I grab 2/3 bags of sweets. I'm thinking at the time that this is going to be over £5 but the guy at the till nearest to us read my thoughts and told me that it was only £3 something (£3.20 I think). He was quite friendly actually, and started talking to me, so I communed back, saying ''Really?! I might as well spend a fiver then! Spending a fiver is always good.'' he agreed totally and I then started thinking what I would buy next. To get a better view of a store, I decided to climb up a stock cage, however, I got my left boot stuck. I ignored it and then spotted the items of my choice: chocolate. I then had to ask Callum to help me get down. Once I had successfully got down, I handed him a square of chocolate (which I had just randomly spawned for no apparent reason?) and he ate it.
We then go to the isle (which was right next to the cage, funnily enough) and I'm like ''Dude, what should we get?'' he just stands there smiling and doesn't answer. So I ask him again ''Dude?!'' Still no answer.

Then I realise everything is black. I'm lying in my bed with my eyes closed (haven't moved at all upon waking up, and totally unaware of my venture through Poundland) thinking ''Hey, I'm awake? WAIT. That means I just finished a REM cycle! What did I dream about?!'' Then everything came to my remembrance, and I decided to write it down.

I'm in the church car-park smoking a fag, while being stoned off my mind. I then realise I've starting smoking again and get really upset with myself because I'm trying to stop it all, so I just pass it to my friend Niall who says to me ''It's only a fag man. Just smoke it.'' (or something like that) but I clearly tell him that I don't want to because I'm meant to be stopping.

I got a new spiderman game for the 360 but I can only play it round my bro's ('cause I don't have a 360). It's an overhead view and he's got some pretty kick-ass moves.

BACKGROUND INFO: My Dad recently had a very severe heart attack, thankfully survived, and is currently on the mend.
I'm sitting on a bench (in college) with Dad and somebody else. Kyle Lorrie (some fat kid who gave me a load of grief during secondary school) then starts physically assaulting my Dad and throwing him around the place (I can't remember the dream well, but it consisted of things like this constantly with this Kyle fellow. Me and 2 of my best m8's were having some sort of war with him.)
I clearly remember thinking at the time that this could go VERY badly because he's trying to recover, but feel frozen and can't do anything about it.

I'm going out of the college grounds at night with somebody else, but there are loads of zombies/evil spirits out there, so I chicken out and go back in.

I'm on my bike going somewhere.. near some sort of car-park. I then go through a door, up some stairs (I think) and into a ladies toilet room. There's somebody in there (a girl) who I talk to about something.

I'm in school having a massive war with random people in my secondary school's upper school hall and the area round about (random guns/upgrades on the floor) which is awesome as hell. The only problem is, I run out of ammo and am then trying to get a new gun 'cause theres this girl I seriously wanna nuke. People keep knicking the one I'm gonna go for though
Eventually they wanna put on some film though (toy story maybe?) so I go up to the big screen and take the disc out (it's made of paper?? ).

Somebody(can't remember who)had this dog (it was some sort of black pitbull)which he had 'tweaked' the voice of to make it sound demonic and aggressive, and I was proper scared of it.

I'm in college in the Leonardo building, on the 2nd floor. For some reason I'm talking to Dani Taverner while picking up and messing around with Star Wars FX Lightsabres (only, the fixed bit wasn't there, and actually were real lightsabres. There was Anakin's, Darth Vader's, and Obi-Wan's).

I'm with 2 of my best m8's Axl & Kevin and we go into some house with a few others to watch Naruto Shipuuden. I need to go to toilet, however, so I go upstairs. There's some little girl already in there though, so I have to wait. When she's finished, I go in, and I want some privacy 'cause I need to take a slash and a dump, but she won't leave and keeps talking to me. I keep missing the toilet as well (for some reason it's really small, or I'm just really big) 'cause I'm under pressure. Eventually somebody calls her downstairs and I'm free to do my business, to which I then go back down and apologise for holding things up.

I'm in Ben's Playworld (a thingy me and my family used to go to on holiday, back when me and my sister were younger) with Dad (apparently Mum, too) and Tabitha (my sis).

The first thing we do is go to get some tokens from this machine, although Dad notices one of the trays is broken (so anyone can knick it and receive free money) and puts it on the side and doesn't let us take it. He then gives me 2 tokens (or I found them, I can't remember) but I don't know how to put them into the machine properly and spend ages trying to figure it out. Eventually that gets sorted and we go off to the 1st 'attraction' or w/e. However, me and Tabitha are adamant on returning to the machine, so we can grab the tray before somebody else does.

Once we get to the 1st thing, Mum's already waiting for us. She's sitting in the middle of a huge congregation of seats. We go up and join her, and a guy at the front starts talking. (I can't remember what he was on about, but it was really boring, and there was something to do with random trippy lights and explosions coming from him?) Eventually, that ends and a train arrives to take the crowd of people (my family included) to the next bit, but me and Tabitha (I think) stay behind until the train is out of sight, and then race back to the machine.

Upon entering the room, the first thing we notice is that the tray is gone. I'm like ''Damn it! Who took it?!'' and some random group of kids come up to us. One of them tells me that Dan Green (a guy who was in my year back when I was in school, who I had quite a few 'disagreements' with) had taken it. I then see him with my mind's eye in front of another machine, with the tray in his back trouser pocket, and he's laughing (like when you get a quest to kill a boss in a game, and there's a brief cinematic thing).

I can't remember what happened next, but I then found myself on a lower floor, on my own, fighting various WoW mobs, in packs of 6+ (mob = enemy NPC) with randomly acquired Warrior skills, complete the the spell interface, such as 'Blade Furry' (allows you to strike more than 1 mob with each attack, which lasts up to 20 attacks I think it is) and 'Bladestorm' (which is where you spin around crazily with your weapon, beating the crap out of anything which moves) and these spells had no cooldown either (a cooldown being the amount of time before you can use a specific spell again), so I was constantly spamming them. After wiping out of the majority of these mobs (in the quest for tokens, I believe) I was faced with one remaining pack, which I accidently aggroed (so I was taking on about 12 mobs, and didn't realise this new pack was filled with elite mobs (elite = usually needs more than 1 person to kill)) and then died as a result. I instantly re-spawned however, in the same spot (if not slightly further back in the room) so I could finish the job easily.

(The next bit jumps a lot, and I can't remember anything from here on very well.)

I then go with Tabitha to find Mum & Dad. Eventually we find them. (Here's the jump) Something happens and we're all falling out with each other, ''just like usual whenever we go out somewhere'' (I can't remember who said that. Probably Mum) So then we start to make a move home, and the last room before the exit (which is in sight) is quite big and filled with random people playing tennis, etc (which, now that I think about it, looks a lot like the sports hall at my old school). Anyway, I'm trying to get through without getting in anybody's way, but it's rather difficult, and I didn't realise I could have just gone around them. So, naturally, people start getting annoyed with me, (I mean REALLY annoyed) and as I'm nearing the exit some old guy comes up to me having a proper rage (probs the owner or gym leader or something), and I remember thinking I wanted to smash the white-haired wrinkle-face out. I was also really angry with my Dad for some reason (I can't remember why though, and possibly wanting to smash him out too).

(Another jump, I think)

All of a sudden a stoat (I think) appears in the corner opposite to me (I'm standing at the back, on the right hand side, and this thing spawns from the front on the right) and starts going crazy. Like, 'causing mayhem' crazy. There's a mad panic, (This thing is huge as well) and we're all looking for something to kill it with, then it claims a horse. I see Tabitha in the corner to the left of me trying to reach a shotgun attached to the wall (unusually high up for some reason) with a walking stick thing, but it's too high for her so I try. I manage to get it down, and then pass it to my Dad, and run back to my spot. We're all telling him to be careful. He takes aim, shoots, and kills it, losing one of his teeth in the process (probably from the rebound) and for some reason I randomly lost 3 of mine (even though I was by no means near the gun or in the firing range? It was my left hand side molars)

I can't remember what happened next but I think I ran out of the building (or sports hall as it now seems. What a strange playworld?), past somebody's grave (taking the shoe which was on top of it with me?) and into a field nearby. Turning back to face the building, it looked like a church. There were a few people outside by the grave which looked upset. I was really upset about everything as well. I was staring at the shoe. It had some sort of significance, and was a smaller version of my own. I then saw a guy coming up to me from the grave, with great disapproval in his face. He then took the shoe away, and went back, and I started breaking down. The last thing I remember is sitting in the field looking up at the sun, filled with despair, crying (A song playing through my head which has direct relation to the terrible time I went through back with my ex Rhea, which was seeming to be rearing it's ugly head again for some reason. The lyrics that played being):

''All I have is you
It is all that I'm breathing for
All I need is you
Now I can't make it through
I am losing you forever
I am lost in pain without you
I am leaving ground forever
All I have is you.''

Then I woke up crying, realised it was a dream and stopped.
