    1. Teleporting is more difficult than I thought; amnesia-recall

      by , 11-11-2015 at 11:51 AM
      Bedtime: 11:30 pm; no meditation before bed; visualization ~15min; did sport; stomach not full/empty

      First time awake: 3 am

      F: practice something but not as a job

      should be micro WBTB but a little longer awake because sick and nose full so little problems breathing (~20min?)

      5:10 am
      Dont remember how the dream started or how i got lucid in the first place. its really bugging me because it was an interesting feeling and i would love to know what happend before.
      I am in a small group and (re)enter a house. i try to move something with TK and it works. i smile and say ah still lucid thats good. i look to my left site where a friend is walking and tell her: "I´m still lucid, nice right? Remember? Ah you´ve forgotten again?" and pet her back. [funny enough i dont remember neither :/] "Wow i´m already a long time lucid this is cool." We enter the house. i ask her if she can tell me how to get lucid more often. she answers that i´ve already asked the question before. i cant remember if i got an proper answer or thats it. i want to make her levitate and it wont work at the beginning even if i try hard so my body tense up. Hm wait this is not that hard i did this already with more than 3 people! i relax my body and zap she starts floating. i do so with another friend of mine because i think its funny
      I go into a garage? Its a garage for small boats (size of a normal garage but with water in the middle) i look at the wall and there is some text about a dude who now is handicapped and can´t swim anymore or something? after i´ve read that a guy jumps into the water. i want to make him levitate but he dives down under the garage door. there is a girl in a swimming ring. i swimm to her and kiss her and tell her something naughty. i sit down on the other side of the garage and
      Spoiler for explicit:

      I remember my goal that i want to teleport. i smile, enjoy, close my eyes and think why not. i lukewarm imagine where i want to go open my eyes and feel again a little like my eyes are squint but i can manage it to look straight again. more interesting is that i see through a grid of compound eyes like i would wear funny insect eye glasses. Pretty strange i think. i try to put the "glasses" of and actually put of some glasses but the visual stays. i concentrate on the other feeling i have or get and pretty soon my visual is normal again. the girl and i are now on the other side of the water again. i tell her what i would like her to do for me and she is doing. behind me a dude is standing around and talking to me it seems that it is his girl or atleast he did it with her. he says something like ah you like that? nice i like the movement the other way round. i think we then talk about something not sexrelated. something about vacation somewhere?


      F: i´m walking somewhere with L. i climb up a little wall and walk on the wall. there is a construct of wood. it looks pretty unprofessional. its like a tunnel. i think i shouldnt go up there and want to come down the wall because L will surely be like "Dude you cant do that thats dangerous" but instead he climbs up the wall too and i go into the woodconstruct. near the end tilt over like a weighting scale. we are a little scared if the whole thing blow up but we come to the ground or atleast near it and jump out.

      F: I seem to be in a hospital? or maybe school? i enter the local bakery and there is a lot of sweet stuff. i think its all vegan? i feel stoned (cant remember to smoke but the feeling) and think wow now munchies. i want to buy stuff but need to get money first. i go outside to ask L. for some money. he is on a very low wall behind some plants.

      should be micro WBTB but a little longer awake because sick and nose full so little problems breathing (~20min?)

      7:40
      and again i am missing the interesting "what happend before"-Part...
      I am in a shoe store. I "remember"(false memory?) that the saleswoman needed a break and go somewhere and i substitute her. two girl are coming and want to buy shoes. i look very critical because the shoes look bad and they get insecure and decide not to buy them and look around again. an older woman enters the store and asks if dogs are allowed in here. i dont know try to look on the entrance to see if there might be a symbol that tells me but i dont see anything. i thinking about to tell her its my first day but i dont say anything. i move to the entrance and start hoping that the girl comes back soon because i dont have that much time anymore. while i open the door i see her and some other people infront of the store. i ask more to her if dogs are allowed. but one guy of the group answers "Yes". i enter the store with the saleswoman and we sit at a table. i make a stupid joke about if she would like to know anything specific about a product (so one could believe i am really working there) but she dont get it and think about the money she may pay me for my effort. i tell her nevermind. i tell her i was daydreaming (actually it felt like i was sleeping for real?) during my shift. this makes me RC. I raise my hand and tell her to count my fingers because they look a little bit blurry to me. she answers "Five" i move it out of her sight and up again and ask her: "And now?" "Six" i smile because it worked and stand up and do a fast nosepinch. i clap her back and say something like "and thats the reason why you should regulary do a RC, i go now and try to teleport cya" i move some feet away close my eyes and imagine a meadow. my eyes seem not to be closed 100% like in meditation and i see my shadow like there is a bright lamp right behind me. i close them for good try to visualize (i see a little visuals like floating stars or something) nick with my head and open my eyes. i am in my bed. a little confused i stand up and still know i am dreaming but start to question. i want to go out of my room and notice my door is completely green. i smile because no RC is needed. i move out and remember for the first time that i never been in our bathroom and i might look into a mirror there. i enter it and want to switch on the light. it doesnt work and its to dark to see without. i shortly try to just make it glow in a corner but have no idea how. i try to make my hand burn for a second but again no real effort. i go out and see my roommate. "R can you please turn on the light in the bathroom?" "Yea sure" and he do. i enter and the light is on. i want to look into the mirror but its only a horizontal stripe pretty high so i need to put on my toes to see myself. i see him and me and one of us has different hair but i am distracted because i ask him why the mirror is so high and if L is bigger than me? (like in a different dimension) he answers: yea he is bigger than you. i gape because IWL he is a head smaller than me. i tell R that the light is not so good and IWL there is the light and i point to a position over the mirror. i leave the bathroom and go to L.´s room. the door is closed R. is following me. i start smiling and make a kamehameha at his door. instead of a unbelievably strong energyburst some water sprinkles against the door. the pressure is not that bad but the door just dont cares and gets wet. i try again with "more force" but again just water and this time even less pressure. i open the door like every normal human would do and enter the room. L. is sitting infront of his computer and playing something. he sits right infront of his monitor and has only his mouse in his hand and a book right next to him. i again do the watersprinkler and wet his monitor and book. he complaines a little but i just smile and tell him who cares this is a dream. i look around in his room and wake up

      9:00

      i am in the living room? there is a girl stting at a computer and one of my roomate on the other side of the room at his computer? i enter my room and sit on the ground. i notice some saltsticks in between my laundry on the clotheshorse. i wonder shortly. i do the crow (yoga asana) and somehow manage to be that flexible in my back that i am in perfect balance and nearly need no strength and can look up. it feels awesome and i have a moment of epiphany. i try aga but this time it wont work that good. the girl enters the room and steps over me to get something. i hold her leg and move it so that she drops on me. she smiles and i pet her head. i look into her face and recognise a girl i met some days ago IWL. i notice that she had boots on while i was holding her but now is barefoot. i give her a kiss and she stands up and puts on her shoes (now something smaller like ballerinas) and goes back to her computer.

      so conclusion? teleportation is not that easy as i thought. i think the next time when i close my eyes and visualize i also tell out loud where want to go and maybe let my eyes closed some time more. i am scared that if i close them to long i might wake up but i think that should not be that of a problem after all.
      dont know whats about with my dream recall. it was pretty bad. maybe because i am sick a little because i really was eager to recall alot this night. i even used another mantra for it.
      on the other hand the little longer WBTB´s might have been good for lucidity.
    2. #30: Switcheroo

      by , 11-11-2015 at 08:26 AM
      Switcheroo
      It's daytime, a sunny day. I'm in front of the train station in my mom's city. I'm on my mountain bike and I just arrived. The area isn't completely the same as it should be. There's a wooden wall on the left, something like what's put up to shield off a construction area. There's no bike anymore. I'm walking towards the bike rack together with my friend Abby to the left of me. For a brief moment our hands touch and we both don't seem to mind walking sort of hand in hand, but not fully committed to really doing so. It's kind of a shy version. I think it's Abby who eventually pulls her hand away.

      I'm standing in front of the bike rack, putting my bike away. Now I'm with Jacintha instead. She asks me if I remember how to say something in Indonesian. I think she asks for 'happy birthday'. She gives a suggestion and I react along the lines of 'what? Noo. It's [...]'. It was something very basic. I then start to tell her about the idea I had of meeting up with the whole Dutch - Indonesian group, but that the guy I talked it over with was too busy (this is pretty accurate from reality). We start walking towards the train station.

      I'm in front of the station now, on my bike. One of my best friends is there. He goes into the station first and I follow on my bike. Once I'm inside I have a big pc on wheels with me and no bike. I think Jacintha has been replaced with my ex girlfriend. My best friend and my ex are talking with an elderly woman who approached them. They are talking about Indonesia. Something about a stop-over in France [I automatically assume Paris] and how France is the stopover place for Asian destinations. The elderly woman says something which I can't recall so well. It has something to do with a girl and that girl wanting to go somewhere to a zoo or something alike at the airport. The woman pulls something out of her wallet to demonstrate. I feel like it should be a paper bill, but it didn't look like money, though I didn't get a good look. I don't remember who, but I told someone about my plans to visit my grandma, because she's going away for a few months. I think I told Abby. I made sure to add 'a few months', to not make it seem like she was dying.

    3. Two Parks

      by , 11-11-2015 at 07:55 AM (The Dream Magic Experiment)
      I was in a park with dinosaurs. Or mutants. We were able to escape to the neighboring park, which for some reason is free from all that. It was sunny. We talked with the owner how horrible it was in the other park. She's an old lady. She talked about how a company was trying to buy off her land/park.

      I was on a grassy field. A football/soccer field. There are some people I know there: Am and Jo(Sun). We laid down on the grass. I laid down between them, and I noticed how Jo moved a bit away. I thought that was strange, and maybe it's really just how guys don't like to be too close to one another, but then I noticed that Am didn't seem to mind that my leg was over his other leg. I ignored Jo. He might have sensed something, and shortly after moved his leg closer.

      I was in the house in our hometown. A door was being fixed. I told mom that thieves could get in. She said not to worry coz our neighbor will be bringing in the fix. It was night.

      I was watching a shredder of sorts. I saw someone put kittens into it. I didn't see the cats being shredded but they went down.
    4. November 10th 2015

      by , 11-11-2015 at 07:20 AM (Deep Inside The Lucid Dreamer's Subconscious)
      So today I had to wake up way earlier than usual to watch my friend's dog. I went back to sleep at around noon and set my alarm for 1:30PM. The first half of the sleep was very frustrating because I didn't think I had really slept at all but was thinking about a lot of things. Then, I was in sleep paralysis for a couple of seconds before waking up. Out of nowhere, I become determined to lucid dream. So, I lay on my back and start thinking 'Okay keep your mind awake.' My eyelids showed a light blue scene. My imagination brings me to this open field with green grass and an expansive light blue sky in the background. In the distance are rows of houses. I try to imagine my house and spin right to see it before me, but I don't see it and I fall a bit. I float down to the ground as two tall men dressed in flannels approach me. For some reason my mind thinks they might have a gun and sure enough they both do. One of them shoots me in the right hip and I fall back onto the ground. They come up and start talking to me before my mind is focused on something else, the moon. I've always wanted to go hangout on the moon in a lucid. My mind pushes the thought away before I decide I really want to do it. So, I tell myself I'm floating upwards to the sky where I can see the moon in the distance and sure enough I float away from the field. Now, I'm surrounded by black space as small star-like figures pass by me quickly, 100s around me. As I get closer to the moon, it turns out to be way different. The moon is a sphere but not solid. It has silver streaks coming from inside the core of the moon and around it. It was actually quite empty besides the 5 or 6 streams of silver making up a sphere shape. I float over it before falling into another scene.

      I start at the ceiling of a large middle school-like gym as I think to look at my hands. They are very real to me. I sort of spin down onto the floor so I see the entirety of the room. There are about 15 people in this pretty big gym. It's a school dance happening before me. Young kids are dressed up with their respective dates. It's weird because I've actually come to this gym before in another dream but didn't remember it until I was there again in this semi-lucid. So, that thought hits my mind as I look around the room. Red ribbons decorate the outer edges of the room, even going over the basketball hoop that is still down. For some reason, my mind thinks it knows the plot to this story. Suddenly, I'm next to these two middle school girls. One says to the other, "the only reason I'm going with my date is because he's cool." My mind knew she was going to say something mean before she said it. Then, I'm part of their conversation. The girls are different now. I get a good look at them to see one of them is holding close to her date on the right, while the other is very close looking at me. Turns out, I know this girl in real life. I have 4 classes with her and kinda have been crushing on her for the entire semester. I grab hold of her and we start to kiss.

      My mind turns to sexual things. Her and I are suddenly swept away into my bed. We continue to kiss as she's in my bed on top of me. We start to go into other things for about 20 seconds before we sit up and talk. I don't really remember what was said, or if anything was said, but then I go down on her. She starts to moan very loudly.

      I have a false awakening where my friend walks in and I realize the girl isn't there with me. Disappointment strikes me as I lay back down. Then, I hear the girl from the left of me go "phew, he didn't see me."

      Another false awakening happens where I hear zipping. Like someone zipping up a jacket but it was very loud right next to me and continuous. I sit up to see this older deformed man looking at me with a jacket on. He tells me "I live in your closet."

      Third false awakening, all I remember is there are bunk beds in my room and my friend and I are yelling about each other stealing things. I end up with a notebook in my hand walking in some park towards swings, before thinking that I'm too young to be there so I turn around and walk down these steps that have handrails and people laying on them.
    5. 2015-11-11 pool, dentist, table, guy shot

      by , 11-11-2015 at 06:26 AM
      + I'm walking along the edge of a large swimming pool to my left, outdoors & daylight. I'm walking with a girl who has an injured hand: a puncture wound or a bad insect bite on the back of her left hand. I'm holding her hand in mine as we walk and putting my right hand over the injured hand to make it feel better. I'm attracted to her and I'm trying to decide if I should kiss the back of her hand or not. We reach the end corner of the pool, and I decide I will kiss her hand, so I lean over and do so, and I think she likes it. But as I do, another, hotter & younger guy appears standing on her right side, and is even more bold than I am, and he kisses her at first on the right side of her neck, and then again on her front, around her collar bone. I think he's stolen my thunder.

      Just around the corner of the pool on the short side of the rectangular pool there is a typical public pool ground-level diving board. The guy gets up on the board and walks out about half-way, and is telling something to us, and then he falls off the right side of the board into the pool (on the side away from us). He does this either as an on-purpose goofing around or it was an accident, I don't know. It's now my turn to get up on the board, and I say "I haven't done this in years!" I take a few quick steps and make a small hop on the end of the board, and dive forwards into the pool doing a front flip. I hit the water on my back, and continue the front sommersault in the water. When I surface, I think that my rotation in the water took longer than it should have, and that something wasn't right about it.

      + sitting in some lobby/atrium with a guy at a table, he gets up and I notice he has no shirt on, he's a young guy in his 20's perhaps. He gets two plates of food from the bar (Hmm, I didn't know they had food available there), and brings them back and places them on the table. He may be offering me some.

      + view of a man standing still about 10 feet from me, twilight/partially dark, someone else is shining a flashlight up and down over his body. I notice that the flashlight beam has an image of a large bear's paw (Russian bear?) that shows faintly on the man's body. As I'm watching, someone shoots him, and I see an abdomen wound appear on him. The slowly sinks to his knees, hovers there a few seconds, and falls forwards, dead.

      + I'm in the lobby of a dentist's office [IWL I have a dentist appt in the morning!], waiting for my appointment. I think that this dentist has a "5/500" policy: if you're late to your appoint by over 5 minutes, you must pay "500." I wonder if that works both ways: if I'm here on time but the dentist doesn't take me on time, does he have to pay me?

      My son S2 is finishing an appointment. He may be late for school. I stand up, I hear his voice behind the door. I need to pee, I start walking towards the bathroom, I see the desktop computer on the table and I decide that I should log out of it so that nobody can read my emails. As I'm walking towards the bathroom a female staffer walks on my left and says something jokingly about the bathrooms being busy. I enter the bathroom and close the door, and notice that the door frame where the door meets the door jam is not straight: it is curved in an elongated "S" pattern. In places there are 1-2 inches of open space between the door and the door jam, so I can see out to the staffer's desk which is opposite the bathroom, and that means that she can also see in.

    7. NDL: Dude needs help with a party

      by , 11-10-2015 at 11:47 PM
      Two scenes from a dream. In one scene I’m looking at a list of teaching assistants and instructors for my university that goes back a number of decades. It's written on paper, pen and pencil. One entry per line, one year per line. My name shows up a number of times, both as a grad student and as faculty. There are other people who are there and around, and they are envious because I’m on the list so often, and there is (part of the background idea of the dream) only 1 departmental TA per year.

      Next scene, part of same dream. I’m in a house that is connected to my job somehow. I’m outside and PMC drives by. He’s upset about something, like I’m not working enough or I’m shirking my job. He says something like “Say goodbye to your house.” There’s a kid in the back seat, but that is irrelevant to anything that happens. I yell at him to stop. He needs help with something, like he’s overworked about something. Maybe it has something to do with cooking? Or a party he’s hosting? Anyway, I say that if he needs help with X, just ask for X. He drives off and I get him to stop again, and I say ‘If you need help with X and Y, just ask for help with X and Y”.

      That’s all.

    8. #155 - Exploring a tomb / Talking to my dad

      by , 11-10-2015 at 11:04 PM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      Intensive DEILD attempt 5:

      My alarms proved a hassle again, they didn't go off properly. So annoying >_<. I do remember vaguely waking up at one point and rolling around confused though.

      I woke up at 2:30 after a pretty sexual dream but I can't recall it, I do know that I was in my bed in the dream though fighting off the urges for PMO I think?

      Dream 1 - Exploring a Tomb
      I remember walking into a sandstone tomb (imagine a place Indiana Jones would go), though perhaps with some modern attachments such as lights (but really old and powered by old dodgy electrical wiring). I walked down some stairs into a large room the stretched on for a while with a low ceiling. There were lots of sarcophagus' (sarcophagi?) in rows across the rooms, and along the walls were indents with pedestals holding burial urns. In my mind the idea of 'looting' the place like an RPG game occurs to me. I know that sometimes enemies can hide in the sarcophagus' (like mummies) which come out and attack you when you open the lid (ever played Nox?). Other people who are with me seem to be opening the lids a little too hastily, this makes me a little anxious and I decide to head out of the room and get the feeling that some mummies may be about to appear. I heading up the next flight of stairs to where the an Asian guy is sitting on a fold-out chair by the power box for the lights. Suddenly the lights cut out, shit. This is really bad because the people opening the containers downstairs could be in trouble if a mummy appears. The Asian guy isn't aware of the urgency of the situation. I think there's also maybe 2 other companions with me around this point (similar to the 2 who were with me the previous night chasing the Asian woman). One of them had seen 2 of 3 witches standing at the bottom of the stairs looking up at us from behind a wooden pillar that held up the building we were in. They were responsible for the light disappearing. At this time I was next to the Asian guy and was fiddling in my pockets for a little hand held light. He also produced a lighter, igniting a cigarette, the glow illuminating his calm face. I have my hand held light out and turn it on and point it at the power box. I say something to subtly enlighten the Asian guy to the potential direness of the situation "we should quickly get the lights back on, the people downstairs may need it". I think he manages to gets the lights back on, I walk over to by the stairs and look down to see the 2 witches behind the narrow wooden pillar. They're just... Looking at me? Weird. Creepy. I leave back to the power box but as I reach the 3rd witch appears now. Wow, what a beauty! She's floating there with a fur-lined coat, two white streaks that flow back through her black hair. She has a Cruella de Vil 'look' but is stunningly gorgeous and graceful instead of being crazy and ugly. I think I tried to catch her but she teleport away, then I tried jumping over the edge of the railing to get her. I managed to grab her but she swung back and teleported away, disappearing from my grip. I fall to the ground on the floor below and roll. I'm sitting with my legs stretched out in front of me and my hands behind me on the floor holding me up. "Damn, and I didn't even get her number" I say out loud, I feel slick as I say this and let out a *sigh*. I felt like I would see her again. I also felt really slick and smooth like a player or something lol...

      Dream 2 - Talking to my Dad (fragment)
      It's night at my parents house and I ask my dad if he wants to go to the gym or a surf in the morning. He tells me 'oh yeah sure' and says something about how he usually gets up at 6am. I readily agree that this is fine with me as I'm used to getting up early now (I seem to say this proudly as he usually has the impression that I'm not an early riser ).

      Both dreams were pretty nice, the first was quite cool. The second was nice because I'll finally be able to see my family again and I'll probably have that same conversation but in waking life
    9. Minor Difference DILD

      by , 11-10-2015 at 08:58 PM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I found myself in my father room and for some reason I was already semi lucid. I felt like I knew it was a dream, so I got up and open the door to the living room. Once I saw that one side of the sky from the windows were blue and one the other side was orange which indicated the sun. I agree that I am in a dream. I made my vision zoom in on the walls to see if everything look like it would in waking life. The difference was that the color of this wall was orange while it is suppose to be brown.

      I decided to check the garage and see what look different there. Once I open the garage door what I notice first was that there were to air bags lift all the way up to the ceiling. I didn't find here to be much of a change. I then lost focus of the fact of being in a dream and became non-lucid. Soon after having a false awakening, I wake up in my father room with a person telling me did I have a lucid dream? I said barely, he then stated could've been a false awakening. I didn't understand that he was trying to tell me I had a false awakening and that I am still dreaming.

      I wake up not long after this. Lucidity Time: 55 seconds
    10. Intricate Models

      by , 11-10-2015 at 08:56 PM
      Dl1 - In a room there is a vast and incredibly detailed model of a ? hard to say it is so vast and i'm so small or close up...The room is really dark and the model is grey. There seems to be a single source of illumination in the room coming from the side. I look down and there is yet another vast model below it is some kind of start wars space station.

      Dl2 - There is a mage who is fixing stuff. |When he waves his wand pink sparkly bits like magic dust float around in the air. He keeps doing it, can't remember what he was fixing.

    11. Reindeers are better that people

      by , 11-10-2015 at 08:47 PM (Here be dragons)
      During all the dream I'm not here; I'm merely witnessing what's happening.
      It's a hospital of sort, and the resident physician is a big burly man with dark hair and bear and a gruff behavior. The place is brightly lit and clean, with nurses in white running around a being busy. An incredible catalogue of people enter, each one with more ridiculous ailment and belief that the next. One of them worries that her belly button won't shrink back after giving birth through it; another want his broken hand to be cut off so it can grow back whole. The gruff physician isn't very amused, but some of the nurses hide in the rest room to giggle.

    12. Tactile methods🌙

      by , 11-10-2015 at 07:19 PM
      🌷When the alarm goes off and Oobe after reading new methods

      Got lots of sleep this weekend so feel redy for a wbtb - Went to bed at around 10pm and Set my alarm for 3.30am - I got up and went to the loo then laid back down and allowed snooze control to go on. I thought I may try to train myself to sleep quicker after hitting the snoozes - something Sivason Mentioned trying to do in training for Deild's . After hitting a few snoozes - I start to notice I am just getting into mellow mood-sleepy when the music goes off and just the fact of moving my arm to find the snooze button changes the feeling towards awakeness... Hopefully this will get better - I am happy I noticed that any way. But I move my hand to sit directly on my iPad now so next snooze I hardly have to move - I am on my back.

      I keep going like that for a few snoozes ( 20 mins between each ). As I lay there I remember reading about the Wild methods last night ( paradigmeshift - tactile wild method) and snoops thread about using imagination with moving the Dream body in the period of time leading up to a Wild ( during the dive ). In the Paradymeshift he/she says as son as you are starting to feel sleepy start to imagine your body being pulled by your feet and have a tactile feeling of your body sliding along the sheets. So I start doing this and it works! Suddenly I am Lucid in my dream but waking in a dream bed in a dream senecio - I come out of my body OOB style and move through the walls - the surroundings are very clear but I don't recognise anything - my waking Memeory is very much with me as there is a prayer I have been wanting to say in my LD and I manage to say it. I sit down and meditate too which has been a goal for a long time... I expected it tobe out of this world but it was quite funny ... DC's start coming towards me with aggression ( never happened before in LD) I maintain meditation and they try to attack me - at first something REALY hurts and I feel quite threatened ...but then they disolve and are gone into thin air- I carry on sitting there and it feels quite ordinary - I am amazed at the LD feeling having lasted so long this time - I feel it could be my longest LD. I spend some time really honing into the feeling of just being in the LD.

      I wake up and feel my body clearly in my bed - I remember to feel my body being dragged across the bed again and then ....Yes I am in the dream again - a semi Lucid dream continues now ... I feel myself in bed again and then back in the dream a couple more times - just short but all due to this imaginary moving of my body while falling off to sleep 🌺

      I can't wait to try again tonight as this was a great experience!

    13. I Have A Deadly Ebola-Like Virus

      by , 11-10-2015 at 06:26 PM (Hopeless Wanderings)
      Fragment

      -I was searching online on Amazon looking to find a nice bracelet that would go with my “Not all who wander are lost” bracelet.

      I Have A Deadly Ebola-Like Virus

      I went swimming to see this giant whale-like creature. Next to it was a tiny fish which I was told was carrying a deadly virus. I tried to stay away from it but of course I got bitten.

      I was working at a youtube show like Buzzfeed(I recently went on a Buzzfeed-watching youtube spree) and I had my own little office at the headquarters. I was standing in my office when I just sort of collapsed. Peope in white bio-hazard suits came to get me and take me to the hospital, where I ended up getting my own room. I stayed in that room for weeks or even months. At one point I was out of my room and people got so mad at me that they wanted to kill me to prevent spreading the virus. I got progressively sicker and could barely move. My family would come visit me frequently. Eventually I got better but…


      The dream repeated

      This time I was watching a lady with a black dress and brown hair going to her colonoscopy appointment. She was walking really weirdly and I realized it was because of her heels. Then, I WAS that lady. I went into this huge building and looked around to figure out what room my appointment would be in. I was in this large room and there were people sitting/standing forming a large circle. I was in the middle of the circle. People realized I was sick with the deadly virus and everyone stayed away from me, trying to avoid contact. I got shipped off to the hospital again and this time got a nicer room, where I recovered for a second time.

    14. Escaping the White Dragon In Ancient Sewer Labyrinth

      Escaping the White Dragon In Ancient Sewer Labyrinth (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Surprisingly, I had little interest in recalling this dream, but if I keep doing that in general, I probably wouldn't bother to recall dreams that could be really awesome to depict visually in the future. I should continue doing more image streaming sessions during my days off from work, or at least a few minutes, or so for whatever day. I seem to undermine the ease of recalling things, especially ones that I try to capture immediately after experiencing them.

      I’m watching myself play a game, or at least that’s what it seemed at first, where you’re presumed to have to escape from a white dragon that’s hell-bent in killing you with its fangs. There’s a lot of quick time events that entail having to go left and right along with a third person perspective when you reach certain areas that allow this.

      The quick time events mostly involve you being in a first person perspective being capable of crawling through the sewers with ease, but with ominous music playing, and hearing the subtle nuances of the dragon’s breathing, and mode of action as well, it makes the experience horrifying. The white dragon would even declare sardonic statements of how one would be close to his death very soon, and such.

      The overall color scheme within the sewer labyrinth involves green, black, and a swamp-murky gray color, mostly for any water that’s streaming, or standing still. The transitioning from choosing left or right was very fluid, and had the dream-esque quality of weightlessness to it. It almost seemed as if the sewer dungeon itself was tilting, albeit very subtly. Or, it could just be the harsh movements of going left or right, and feeling as if my body is tilting to accommodate for the implication of fluid transitions.

      There were several moments where I was in close contact with the white dragon, but mostly due to me being a bit clever into tricking it into thinking I was at a certain location. I was completely oblivious to the general layout of the sewer labyrinth, and chose left and right in a non-sequential matter.

      Whenever I would partake in events where I visualized myself in a third person perspective with the camera being behind my shoulders, I noticed a sense of urgency to augment my pace in running, as I knew the white dragon would be less restricted in movement as well. I even had the audacity to visually scroll around behind me to see this dragon coming after me, and it was only 20 feet or so away from me.

      For some reason, I felt the environment itself with its ominous setting may have skewed my perception of the white dragon as I would imagine it being just as dark and tyrannical. Though, with a previous quick time event situation where it clamped my body in half, I beg to differ. There’s one event with the third person perspective where I’m inching my way towards the next hole, or entrance to randomly partake in. I’m wearing a shirt/sweater/jacket hybrid of some sort, and the sleeves are rolled up a bit. I’m wearing black pants as we well with some dark shoes; not sure of the exact color, though.

      The space around me seemed more natural than polluted for some reason, and I started to realize that the general layout of what seemed like an ancient sewer was merely the ancient aesthetics being seen as slightly vulgar to me. There was this large green base for the ground that was surrounded by a stream of water going in a circular motion, or being still for some circumstances. The walls were made of a rocky composition, and for some areas, there would be a faint white stream of light above me. But, because of what I felt were my limitations at the time, and the dragon being able to fly as well, I figured having to muster willpower to escape via flying would be futile at best.

      And with this dragon chasing me while I tried to find an end route from this dungeon, I was predisposed into thinking that it was trying to hide something that I could tap into inwardly for whatever purpose to be cherished, I think. It wasn’t the dragon being able to chew, maul, or tear me into pieces that was the issue, but more so having to potentially repeat the whole experience of going through this seemingly grandiose labyrinth.

      It got to the point where I’m almost out of the area, however, the logic of the experience entailed that I had to distract the dragon into going into a large body of water while I would have to land to the left of a nearby cliff that would lead me to wherever. If the dragon comes along with me to the nearby cliff, it would profess that I failed in my escape.

      So, there were several dream equivocations going on with transitioning in and out from this. First, the experience was translated into one where people thought it was some virtual experiential reality that they could treat as a video game. I would even go so far into saying that people would be tempted into making a video game out of it, and I even imagined someone like Markiplier wanting to play it as well. It got to the point where one could acquire a map of the whole ancient labyrinth.

      However, it was more than just simply navigating through the multitude of paths as there were certain switches you had to activate to determine the path you would choose. A lot of the switches, doors, and such were color-coded while the actual paths were mostly a milky gray color. Looking at the map, I could barely find an exit, but I was eventually able to find out since whenever you pressed on the map for certain areas, it would emit an orange trail to one of the exits.

      The two main pairs of switches consisted of a blue and green color. They were outside of the entrance to the labyrinth, and the environment around them had a mélange of high-tech machinery, and the basic composition of nature. It seemed that this area had connotations of a lost technological community along with some stylizations akin to Aztec, Mayans, and what have you.

      People were navigating around this area, and they all varied in existence. Some were children, some were very old, and they all had varied body weights as well. I was fairly skeptical of some that seemed a bit more grandiose in size as it would probably be difficult for them to enter it in the first place. It bothered me that these individuals treated this experience like a video game of some sort, which may have been an autonomous process set out for me to synch with this treatment of the dream.

      But for me, there was something that the dragon wanted to protect militantly. Some people even tried to go at the dungeon only to be reset back to this location with the main switches being pressed or back to their original position. It felt a bit consoling that there was an imaginative collective effort to figure out all of the intricacies of this area because it seemed like a nightmare, especially without the map.

      For some reason, even with the map, I still felt skeptical of planning out my movements because I inferred that there would be some kind of surprise; difficulty wise, pace wise, and such that would make the seemingly pre-determined paths selected equal in mystery.

      There was a point in the dream, or maybe this is another dream altogether that was sequential to this one where I imagined myself near a region that consisted of bars, fast food chains, and a Starbucks. Apparently, one could access the labyrinth via the manholes set out on the roads. I didn’t pay too much attention into wanting to get there through the manholes, but for whatever reason, I guess I was out here for more answers about something that I couldn’t remember.

      I eventually transitioned back into the base of the entrance to the ancient labyrinth, and invested a lot of time looking at the map, and figuring out how I should assess myself should I ever want to go back. I would even visualize myself going through a virtual experiential reality within this virtual experiential reality, ironically, and figuring out when the dragon would appear, and what I would have to do. It made me wonder if I spent most of the dream visualizing this in my head without even going through the labyrinth. And that’s why bothered me the most because if this were the case, for all I know, the actual experience would be something completely different from what conjured up in my head even though this would be experienced within my own cognition.

      The inwardness of the dream diluted the nightmare-like disposition of the experience in general, and became something more like a competitive event even though said implication was in guise of wanting to make it as such to again distract myself from thinking it was a nightmare having to deal with the white dragon; kind of like a self-reflection of how my mind would conceptualize certain events, and utilizing whatever autonomous process to suppress, regress, repress, and such to skew the experience in general.


      Every time I felt tempted to have a go at the ancient labyrinth, I would go back to the same circular process of imagining myself doing so, and being dissatisfied at the end result.
    15. School and tractor driving

      by , 11-10-2015 at 05:04 PM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      I was in school. It was just before a grand ceremony of the day of independence, in which I had to take part in. I had to go to the toilet. I entered it, and saw that the whole place was flooded with water, and there was toilet paper scattered all around. I wanted to enter one of the cabins, but all of them were occupated by my classmates. I decided to go out of the school, where I met my tractor course teacher. He told me that it was my turn to frive around the town.
