    Kissing a peasant DILD

    Date: 22 May

    Total Sleep Time: 8 hrs

    WBTB: 120 mg gingko

    Dream quality and recall: dreams were vivid, but I was very sleepy today, I guess that has affected my recall. My prospective memory and concentration during the lucid were not at their best either.

    Fragment1: the dream involved Xanos, no other memory

    Dream2: A class meeting again. It is late at night and we are discussing with the girls where we are about to go. I feel like dancing so I am totally fine with any place they suggest. I notice that they have put on some weight. My dad is over-protective and follows me around. I arrange to secretly meet with my best school friend and take her to a concert. I will buy her the ticket. On what I think is the next day, we meet in the morning and take the subway. She has moved to my city, it seems.

    Fragment3: We are eating some mix of bacon and cheese, tasted very realistic

    Fragment4: the office is closed, my dad is looking for something

    WBTB: Took gingko. Recalled dreams and did some dream incubation during which I have fallen asleep.

    Dream5: I am watching some trees from above, and want to change their color. It feels a bit like I am observing using google map. Soon I am at the place of interest, in the middle of a lake. There is an old wood-made ship close to the also quite old and dusty quay. I have a game like attitude and want to rearrange the whole place. I succeed in making more space where I want to. Then I am in the water, swimming forward, but it is not very pleasant because this lake is a bit dirty. There is also a fish nearby, and I don’t like that.

    Dream6: Instead of the normal section of a restaurant, I decide to follow a DC and go to another part. I am climbing some stairs to reach my destination, but the place is very hard to get to because the doors are smaller. I reach the third floor, where I talk to the waiter – a friend of mine. Three other DCs appear. One of them tells me that he has a Japanese geisha girlfriend and that they are in an open relationship, they are dating some other special girl. He shows me a brochure where all this is explained using some strange Japanese words. I think that he expects me to join their little arrangement, so I say no thanks.

    Fragment7: I am in a car, and the waiter of another place we were in, is now John Malkovich. He comes in, bringing my favourite sandwiches. They are perfect.

    Dream8 DILD: I am in an interesting looking town, but pay little attention to it at first. I am with four friends, one girl I clearly know, two DC friends in the background and another girl. The other girl is the girlfriend of a friend of mine, and she has come to meet me. At first, I don’t feel at ease with the two girls, even though they are friends, so I fly to the level of the first floor, and follow everybody as they are walking down the street, just above them. I think of why I am doing this and then fly back down. The new girl has brought me some presents – she hands me two notebooks, with school notes, chemistry and other stuff. Then another one with patriotic poems translated in a foreign language. Who would want to read something like that, I am thinking to myself.

    At some point which I cannot remember, I become lucid. I feel I have spent a long time exploring around. The next more clear lucid memory is me, still in that city, which looks like a medieval city, feeling happy and going for some tasks (which I don’t remember at all). Then I look around and enjoy the place, the walls of the houses around are made from a dark stone with a hint of green. It feels like an Italian city during Middle Ages. It also reminds me of a number of other dreams I had. One more recent one was in a modern Italian city. The Colosseum should be somewhere to my right, I am thinking and desire to go to that place. At the same time, I try to engage a few DCs to help me on my quest. I look ahead and see DCs passing by, I try to stop them, but they are moving really fast, strong momentum, so I cannot stop them. (The second time this has happened). I look at a DC in front of me and notice how beautiful, elaborate and medieval/renaissance-like her clothes are. I get closer to a DC woman that is not moving, she is some kind of monk, and ask her for help/directions, but she is not helpful at all (interact with DC).

    I continue and find another male DC, a peasant, he looks a bit blurry. I know that this dream has been going on for really long, so to avoid it ending I come up with the idea to stabilize the dream by kissing him. He is not really ugly, I find him rather unpleasant, but still, I kiss him. I realize that I am doing something objectionable to me, yet I keep doing it. The dream feels much more stable (stabilize dream), but then someone tells me that as a result of my behaviour, I have now two children and that man is my husband. This place is my home now.
    It all suddenly feels so realistic to me that I lose my lucidity. I begin to fret about those responsibilities and that I won’t be able to leave the place now. At the same time, I know that this city is special and that there are wormholes appearing every now and then, so I can use one of them to escape. I look at a live city map, which shows the location of the currently active wormhole.

    I continue sleeping and have another dream that I cannot recall. I wake up and feel frustrated because I have no memory of the last few dreams. Then fragments start to emerge.

    Comment: Although I managed to recover some of the memory of that lucid, it is upsetting that once again I am unable to remember a part of the experience. And yet, it is much better than not remembering anything at all.

      What a cool medieval setting for that LD! I like how that seemed to actually have a pretty consistent setting and theme going. It sounds like it might have been fairly long, too... which is cool in a way but can also leave those unfortunate memory gaps.

      Good job doing what you had to do to keep the dream stable... I didn't foresee the extensive set of false memories rising up to throw you off like that. Dirty trick!!

      Congratulations on the LD. Sounds like you were close to wandering into the Colosseum and committing some act of violence. Still on my to-do list... as are ALL of the TotY tasks!

      Thanks! I find it a bit strange, this town didn't change much if at all, which is not very typical of my recent dreams. I am really happy about it because it seemed like a very nice place to walk around. If I do get good at dream control, I would love to go back there.

      Maybe next time (after many years of practice) I can show you guys around.

      I have way too many goals on my mind now (competition 3 step task, challenge task, TOTY, TOTM 5 in 1, plus our experiment) and my prospective memory is extremely confused. I get random tasks popping up or none at all. As long as I get any one done, I will be satisfied.

      And CL, I read you came up with TOTY, which are awesome, so you have no excuses! Maybe see you guys at Angel Falls some time soon? Dream on!

      Ah yes, the promise of persistent dream worlds is a pretty exciting idea. Yet another goal I'd love to pull off! I can relate to the "too many cool things to do" problem, ha ha... but if I'm gonna have a problem, that's the one I want to have. This shared stuff is so exciting that I think I have to watch for the insomnia just a little bit more. Kind of adjust for it.

      Thank you for the compliment on Task of the Year! Ophelia took my original ideas and made them all cooler... I'm proud of the finished product. Gotta do it. Gonna do it!!

      Oh, noes, only not insomnia! At least the knowledge that I am not the only one wasting so many sleepless hours trying to Ld is a consolation.

      It is so hard to find that optimal spot where your brain is awake enough to be able to have a proper Ld, yet asleep enough to allow you to go to dreamland. And my "experience" with meditation is almost no help at all!

      You've got that right! I've graaaadually learned that I have sort of a sliding scale on insomnia that's based (of course) on lucid aids I take during WBTB, what caused me to wake up, any waking life stresses I've failed to clear from my mind, etc. And yes, being highly motivated is one more thing that can turn the insomnia dial up a little bit.

      The good news is that there is no better way to develop the feel for this than to just do it over and over and over again. And motivation helps tremendously with that. Plus, being motivated is just so much fun!

      I agree! To motivation!
