    1. Weed and Valerie

      by , 02-06-2015 at 03:56 AM (One Up Seeker)
      1. I had just walked out of the restroom in my house upstairs. I looked at the clock and it read 4:36 a.m. All of the lights were off and everybody was asleep; or so I thought. I walk into my pitch black room and am about to hop into bed when I notice that my sister is standing in front of my mirror looking at herself. "What are you doing?" I ask her. "Trying to find the weed" she tells me. Wtf? My sister looking for weed? I am quite surprised so I walk back out of my room to see what is going on.
      As I walk into my hallway I notice that the lamp downstairs is on and I can hear the t.v. going. I then hear my dad chuckle and I realize that he is the one watching t.v. and that everything is normal. I walk back into my room and tell my sister to get out and then I get back into my bed.

      2. I was on my laptop and I was logged onto DreamViews. Everything looked insanely similar including the entire layout of the website itself. I click on a thread named "List of Medically Crazy People" and I see that the thread was started by Mismagius. I start reading it and I eventually come to a list of DreamView users. The people that are on the list are seen as "medically crazy". I scroll down the list and I see alot of familiar names, and suddenly I see something that shocks me. My name is on the list. "What does this mean" I thought, "Am I crazy?".
      I looked at the list in shock for a moment. I continued down the thread and at the very bottom of it there were alot of pictures. There was a picture of a woman and one of balloons. Overall alot of the pictures looked like they had something to do with a birthday party.

      3. I was in a building and I saw my old friend Valerie. I walked over to her and we started talking. She looked gorgeous. Now she had blonde highlights in her hair and she also got alot taller. We walked over to a mirror and compared our heights and of course I was taller, but only by a little bit and I'm 5'10. A guy named Riley, who I know from Algebra II class, walks over to us and stands next to me in the mirror.
      He joins our conversation and I realize that he's a pretty chill guy.

    2. Corpse on a Plane

      by , 02-06-2015 at 03:55 AM (The Dream Magic Experiment)
      I was in Metro Manila. I received a call/message that I'm supposed to go back to the province or that my family is going here. My father died. He was about to go to the Metro before he died, so they rescheduled his plane ticket, which was scheduled January. They moved it to February. (apparently, corpses can travel via plane as people) My father's side was going to meet us there. (not sure if "there" means the province or Metro)

      I was on the phone. I was calling someone or receiving a call from someone. I heard a female voice. For some reason, I thought of Alona.

      I was in the province, in our hometown. There's a parkour activity in our backyard. They were training but I was doing chores. I went inside, watched TV for a bit. When I went out, they were already cooling down with meditation.

      --

      NOTES:

      - Set alarm at 4 hours and 44 minutes.
      - I was seeing hypnagogic images, very realistic as if I was really "seeing" something in front of me, not just imagining.
      - I slept around 4 a.m.
    3. Archive Dream: The Gates are Open to You!

      by , 02-06-2015 at 03:33 AM (Cities in the Astral)
      I just typed this out on a thread, so I thought I would paste it here so others can see one of my profoundest earlier dreams.



      Early on when I had only about 8 years of lucid dream training i was entering every lucid and calling out in a voice that reverberated the dreamworld like the sound AUM. I would call out SIVA, SIVA, SIVA with the intent and feeling of both a prayer and a plea. I had been feeling something that seemed to be entities following me (not of the dream) but they stayed just at my periphery, for about a year. I went to a local park and went out into the field and practiced skills. I was very devoted and trained my abilities in every dream. I practiced leaping onto the top of a swing set and stopping dead on top of it. I suddenly got a feeling that even this was screwing around and I needed to be more serious.

      I jumped down and faced off across the valley and called out SIVA over and over and shook the dream world with the power of my reverberating mantra. Suddenly I was yanked off the ground by an unseen force and pulled bodily and roughly forward through the air at high speed. It pulled me along and I saw a narrow canyon with a stream in it that I was being drug just feet over. I stretched out my feet and touched the water. It was more real than anything before and water flew up and was very life like. I was rushing towards the end of the valley and could see that the stream was issuing from a small cave at the very end. I was drug into the cave by this force and through a tunnel.

      I was dropped on my knees in a very small cave, to small to stand in. It felt very really and I was scared, but did not want to wake myself. Was this something magical and other worldly/ I sure had been yelling SIVA into the void for about a year, better not wake now, no matter how terrifying this was. I looked around and there was a small alter in front of me along a wall. I heard a voice, "You must not destroy anything in my wolrd. Now choose!" I looked down and the alter now had about 6 items on it. They were common items that would be on an alter. There were matches and incense, a mango, and a bowl and a few other items.

      I felt like this was a test and I needed to do something. I figured the first thing that one would do is light the incense. But no, that would destroy the incense and the match, what else could I do? I looked at the mango and wondered if I should bite into it. No, same problem. Then I thought about the mango having a seed! One of the skills I had practiced was causing trees to sprout out of things like skittles. I focused and caused the mango seed to start sprouting into a sapling right there on the alter.

      The back wall lit up and the cracks in the wall started rearranging into a face. The face started talking in a powerful voice. It said, "I am Horus! You have drawn the attention of those with power. Why have you come here?"

      Then I did perhaps the most arrogant and odd thing I could imagine, I suddenly decided that I was not going to speak with Horus until I tried calling out to SIVA now that I was someplace otherworldly. I turned from Horus and faced the back cave wall. I called out SIVA three times in the same mantra like reverberating way, as loud and strong as I could.

      Suddenly everything changed, but it was an emotional change. Little changed physically, but I was overwhelmed with awe. I was unable to speak or move and I as terrified and also filled with other intense emotions, in a way beyond explaining. The back wall turned into black obsidian and a green light shown behind it. The light moved like a flame, but was inside the blackness.

      A voice of ultimate authority and power boomed out, "I am SIVA! The gates have been opened to you! For now, leave this place!" I was suddenly pulled backward out of the cave and down the canyon. I was slammed back into my body and sprung awake with my heart racing and tingling with adrenalin.

      It was very soon after that that the things following me started to reveal themselves and eventually one of them became my first real dream guide. Eventually after years of training I was taken to the astral and allowed access to a wonderful city. I have been going there for about 15 years now.

      Sounds crazy? Some of you will not be able to believe this stuff about dream guides and going to the astral. However, for those who can believe, if you want this, it is attainable with dedication and time.

    4. The Statues That Came Alive?/ Cat Girl/ DC Conversation

      by , 02-06-2015 at 02:28 AM
      The Statues That Came Alive?

      I was doing something in the dream but i can't recall what it was. After it happened though the dream started falling apart and i could see a clear light blue screen in front of me. When I saw it i thought about Jade and how he might keep himself in the dream. Than a voice appeared out of no where saying that whenever they want to stay in the dream they keep their eyes on the tornado.In front of me i could see a red curve line. The dream was starting to shift so i quickly started making it into a tornado. At first it was stiff but after a few tries it began to spin around like a tornado.

      I fell out of that scene into a room filled with many rooms but the rooms weren't really covered with walls. I walked into a room where i found a tall dark tan skinned girl, with medium length dark brown hair and orange highlights in the hair that was braided.Oh, and she was wearing a dress but i forgot the color. She told me to follow her. At first i was scared of her but decided to let that fear go. She opened a door where a older man walked through. As I was watching the scene change and more characters come in i was thinking about how great it was to finally have the time to actually enjoy lucid dreaming. The girl closed the closet than sat on a bed in the room. As I was walking up to her it felt like my body was starting to move slowly. I did my best to walk to the bed than fell on it with my head looking up at her.She than took a pink accessory item of a lady bug(I think... It looked like a ladybug but the accessory was the size of a quarter) "Put this over your head before time runs out." she told me. I heard a timer noise ticking away as i tried my best to move the accessory with my mind to above my head. But before i knew it"Beeeeppppp!"It was too late."Why didn't you just take the beetle with your hands and put it over your head?" she asked. "Because I can't move my hands!"I told her. "oh" she replied back to me.

      I was able to get up after that and told her how real she seemed to me and how i enjoy observing characters like her. Than i turned around and saw that there were dream characters preparing for a party by setting up the table. " Does anyone know where Dawn is!?" I asked. But no one replied to that so i asked " Is Dawn real to any of you!?" A really short older woman with alien like eyes, dressed like a princess came to me and said yes."What about Eye!?" I asked. " He's real too" another replied back. ( I should have asked them if Winnie The Pooh was real. haha)" Okay...So what do you guys think about reincarnation. What's the point of me being here if reincarnation is true?" I asked. The short older woman replied saying that it was very important and that it was necessary in order to fix the time line. I thought that was an interesting answer than asked if reincarnation separates you from your loved ones isn't that a sad thing?The lady said no because of it not being a permanent thing.Than another lady who looked like her twin sister looked at her with mad eyes like she was talking too much." This dream is really vivid" I said happily admiring the scenery. But the other short lady was still looking displeased. I didn't really care to ask them more deep questions after that. After looking around for a bit they said that they had to go. Everyone began transforming into still statues. The dream was obviously ending so i didn't fight it and let it happen.


      Cat girl
      I had a lucid dream where I was in a anime. I was a cat girl and got stuck in another dimension where the bad guys were hanging out.

      DC Conversation
      I was talking to a dc that told me him and his friends enjoyed making the teacher mad. I asked him if he did this everyday and he said no. Only occasionally. He than asked me for my number. I said no and just told him my email. Its not like hes going to remember though since hes just a dc. But it was good observation to see how well the dc stays on topic.

    5. The Back Log - 2nd Edition

      by
      501
      , 02-06-2015 at 02:24 AM
      Here is a second edition of my back log dream journal. Some of these are more semi-lucid but were very vivid and cool.

      10 Dec - 2014 - Wild Night

      Crazy about 5 lucids

      This one started and I was in a jungle on the ground and I was by some weird looking radar tower that was on top of a large structure. It was covered on moss and greenery. I watched the radar move for a bit and it moved very strangely, more like a robot. I climbed the tower for some reason and reached the top. When I got to the top it wasn't very stable and I was concerned I would fall, as in all dreams I began to fall. I then realized this had to be a dream and floated to the ground the rest of the way. I grabbed ahold of some of the dirt on the ground to stabilize and clear the dream a bit. It still ended shortly there after.

      I was in the backseat of a truck with my wife and we were going down a hill very fast. I was really concerned with my well being and found myself being thrown into the air a bit. We were almost doing straight down hill, I thought this was crazy and did an RC. We were at the bottom of a hill now and I got out. we were near train tracks. I got out of the car and worked on levitating people that were around me, I wasn't very good at it at this point. I then think I may have lost some lucidity but I was still 'powerful', there were a bunch of cops around and I took one of their guns and I think I shot at some. This one became a cop chase type dream.

      This one I think was a DEILD but I lost lucidity a little ways through it and regained off and on. I was flying through a jungle, sometimes falling grabbing leaves and soaring around. I wound up down by a cabin, but cant remember much more than that.


      19 Dec - 2014 - A Cult

      Semi but long and vivid
      I was initially part of a cult and we were building a big structure, kinda like an ARC but a building but we were all god like. Some girl got kicked out and ended up killing someone and coming back to the cult. I was getting ready for battle but realized I was more powerful than anything and went to face the invasion alone. I stood at the road entrance and the incursion began with foot soldiers. I used TK to toss them all up and some I threw into different objects. I was able to pick up multiple at a time and eventually the guys stopped and vehicles started. I also threw them in the air. At the end of this really long battle I remember being hit in the side with something and then the people I was with and I walked off. I was happy that I had not been hit but it was a very cool dream.

      29 Dec - 2014 - Late for Work

      I was talking to my wife about something that had been bugging me and after the conversation I realized it was very late and I was really late for work. I began getting ready but looked at a different clock, it was different and then another was different. I asked myself WTF (dreamsign) and did an RC. Tried to do something inside at first, not sure what not. I was in my house and it was really close to what I live in now. I went outside and pat my dog on the head, then picked up a rock in my hand and rubbed it to further stabilize. I rubbed it quite a bit. My front yard was really similar to how it is now, it was very sunny outside. I thought of flying up to go to an alien planet. I ended up not being able to fly really well and wound up grabbing the house gutter to try to climb up. I was holding on to the siding and decided to do an elegant back-flip which instead I ended up landing on my side. I floated to the garage roof which was across the yard. This dream seemed to last quite awhile.

      1 Jan - 2014 - Slap the counter

      I wrote this 4 days after it happened so not many details. I was at a counter in a kitchen and had a moment of clarity and did a RC. Hands. I slapped the counter and shouted to stabilize and the DC that was there looked at me funny. I started looking closely at wall and feeling it, even climbing up it a ways. This was even later. Don't remember how long it lasted, but it seemed like quite awhile.

      17 Jan - 2014 - Supplements

      I had at least 3 maybe 4

      In bedroom very unstable. Dark and felt like a lot of clothes were on me, i thought I might be in a dream so I tried to move a box with TK and it moved. I did a lot if touching when I got out of the first room. Light switch wouldn't work. Outside it was day time.

      This one was very long and it started with hanging out with my family, I did a random RC and became Lucid. I left right away and began to explore and I was touching a lot of things as i was moving through the dream. I may have lost a little lucidity but I was exploring many different houses. I went up and down and climbed through rubble in one house.

      I was in a car with some guys I work with and did a RC and became lucid. I got out of the car and began to use TK on everything. I was flipping cars and tossing people around, off the bridge I was on. I was in a city type place so there were buildings all around the freeway I was on. Pretty cool one.

    6. My little house in the mountains...

      by , 02-06-2015 at 12:52 AM
      Just for doing any journalling at all:
      I keep dreaming of knowing a place in the Bavarian mountains where a half-overgrown old ruin of a wooden house stands, forgotten and far off and I move in and sort it out a bit, make it beautiful, tend to the plants around.
      And live there secretly, often in a kind of escape from something else.

      I wonder how much congruence there really is from dream to dream about this house, it evolves I would say. And I love it.

    7. Competition night 12 - Wed 4th Feb

      by , 02-06-2015 at 12:35 AM
      Dream one - Floating through the landscape:

      [I'm sure there was more dream before I got lucid, but I can't remember what happened.]

      I'm in a field of various wild grasses, reminiscent of a wheat field but not as uniform, with different heights and shapes of grass. Judging by the flowering it's mid summer.

      For no obvious reason I suddenly suspect I'm dreaming and confirm it by floating off the ground and GET LUCID!

      I try to remember my dream goals and remember that one of them was to incubate a mountain in China complete with distinctive flora and geology. I look up and see that there are snowcapped mountains in the distance. I decide to try to fly toward them. I rise up higher until in a few hundred metres above the ground figuring that being close to the ground would make the movement seem greater and therefore harder to go a long distance. I look down and see some suburban streets and notice that I appear to be flying backwards, away from the mountains.

      I fly higher still until the ground begins to fade away behind clouds, then focus on looking intently at the mountains hoping that the scenery between me and them will fade out leaving me with only the mountains. As I'm doing this I try to picture some more authentically Chinese looking mountains. The mountains get greener and steeper and start to look more like the mountains I wanted, but as I'm doing this I'm realising that the Chinese mountains task was *incubation* and actually I need alpine mountains for my "fly through a snowy apine valley" task. I start heading up the valley reasoning that there will be not snow higher up and I can transform the mountains back to alpine style as I go.

      Unfortunately I wake up decisively moments later :-(



      Dream two - Rescue mission:
      [I wish I'd written more notes on this one when I first woke up as it's faded somewhat now]

      I'm inside some kind of vessel that could be a submarine or perhaps some a space craft, there's chaos going on with alarms and flashing lights and loud crashing noises and people rushing around reacting to whatever it is that's going on.

      The scene flashes forward to some time later when the emergency is over and everyone has settled into the realisation that we are trapped underground. I'm reminded of a story I read of recently of some German soldiers accidentally trapped for several years in a supply depot when it was sealed to keep it from the allies.

      The scene changes again, now I'm involved in some kind of rescue/salvage mission.

      I'm looking at a map or perhaps an overhead photograph of terrain showing what looks like impact marks in sandy silt at the bottom of a body of water. I can hear a woman's voice explaining that these marks indicate where a vessel hit the ground hard. At one end of the elongated scar there is a dark smudge that it is explained is the craft itself showing dimly through the silt. It turns out that is has come to rest barely below the surface. There is a painful irony that if the crew has realised they were so close to the surface they probably could have found their way out. Indeed, the female voice goolies on to explain that one ends of the vessel is just fractionally protruding above the surface.

      On closer inspection, I can see a corner of the craft, an incongruent hard straight line among a vague blurry picture. As we watch, we can even see a little movement and realise that the vessel rocks slightly as crew members within move from one end to the other and we realise that the crew, presumed dead, must still be alive!

    8. Talk with jeff

      by , 02-05-2015 at 11:10 PM
      NON LUCID
      *I met with a dad that set and was a great example of how to be loving towards his family. In the living with him and his family talked for something as I admired good qualities they had. I noticed how the son looked almost exactly like his father and also seemed to be a really loving care person. They showed me pictures of there family.

      As I was leaving there house I ran into Jeff's mom. I told her that I am now dating his ex girlfriend but was totally unaware that they have dated in the past and I found out after about a month of being with her. She seemed to be displeased about the whole thing.

      I soon ran into Jeff and asked him about the nature of there past relationship. He said he did love her but he left her because he believed that evenually she would leave him. I thought that was a strange answer.

      *I was driving in a brand new BMW.

      *I was in India walking around in this grocery store just browsing looking at things.

    9. Watching a dance

      by , 02-05-2015 at 10:32 PM
      A human wandered into our territory and due to an accident, got stuck here. He's spent the past few days trying to figure out a way out of this, but right now he's relaxing with us. He's taken some of the things out of his luggage and has been showing us how they work, and now he's putting on a demonstration. He's a performer, a dancer, and he's showing us what he'd been working on before the accident got him stuck here. A woman's joining him, he gave her a costume to wear, a white dress. The man directly to my left is in charge of starting the music at his signal; he's been spending more time with this guy than any of the rest of us except the woman he's dancing with, so he's learned how to make records work. The rest of us are sitting around on the rocks in a circle, watching.

      In the center of the clearing below us, he and the woman take each other's hands as if starting a formal dance. He repositions her closer to him, and she 'laughs' and 'says' that they're going to be dancing right on top of each other this way - in quotes because we don't use sound to 'talk,' though the laughing expression/gesture is the same.

      He starts to lead her through the dance. The dreamer side of me recognizes this as a sort of mix of an old court dance with modern sensibilities; the same could be said for the dress he gave her to wear, a sort of fantasy version of medieval clothes, very much a costume. From this perspective, it's clear that this was a dance designed for a specific performance, but the dream character side of me is under the vague misimpression that this is just how his people dance to celebrate things. Either way, I'm enjoying watching.

      His actions are oddly tentative, uncertain, more so than hers though he's the one teaching. I find that hesitation fun to watch, too. I'm also aware that this is the moment when he started to doubt whether he wanted to leave at all - so of course his immediate reaction was to become even more determined to get out as soon as possible.

      (The next two dreams after waking up and going back to sleep were also on the subject of dances and concerts.)

    10. I morph into a cartoon dolphin

      I morph into a cartoon dolphin (WILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Having to recurr to WILD naps!!! Tough competition!

      Full Dream (1 pts)
      Nap-Wild (5 pts)
      RC (1 pts)
      Advance fly (10 pts)
      Teleport (7 pts)
      DC interact (2 pts)
      Eat something. (4 pts)
      Advance summoning. (10 pts)
      Use electronics. (4 pts)
      Full transformation. (10 pts)
      Fully Phase through Big Solid Object (8 pts)


      I felt noises under my bed, like if there was an engine or something, and it felt harder than usual, so I decided to do a RC to make sure I was in a dream, and indeed I was, my hand hight eight slim fingers. So I immediately took of to fly.

      I decided it would be great to go fly to space, something that I enjoy and many of you know I truly love this. I decided to go flying for a while, and while scoring some points, enjoy my time there. I saw amazing stars, some of them were made out of different colors, and some of them vanished when I stared at them. I felt a lot of empty space, it was a bit strange. Most of the stars were missing and I could not find any planet. Usually my space dreams are colorful, but this is the first time I did a space flight in space,, so maybe was that.

      I focused on coming back to earth and do a few tasks, maybe to try the pandora's box again. I closed my eyes and started to spin, since I had no place to "jump" in space (my way to teleport.) So after spinning, I found myself in a beach in front of a big hotel. I believe it might have been the Bahamas because the water looked like very crystal blue and there were a lot of people surfing. The heat of the sun felt very nice. I saw there was a female DC wearing only a tie and panties (she was topless) and she had a tray with food. I grabbed something like looked like chocolate, but tasted like sand, even the same texture. I told her it was disgusting, but she ignored me.

      I took of to fly again as I wanted to look for a much busier place. As I was flying, I wanted to summon Dreamer, it was a long time I did not have her in my dreams. I called her out loud and she came up, appearing right in front of me. She also was in a swimsuit with purple hair (and I think the swimsuit was purpple too) There was another guy next to her, funny that someone came up as an extra during a summoning. I asked, "Are you anotherdreamer?" He said, "Ya! She is my girl!" and then something else I can't remember.

      I had here a false memories, were I needed to go underwater with dreamer. I thought it was a task giving me more points and I hopped anotherdreamer being in the picture would not be a big deal. Out of the blue, I wondered if I could morph into a dolphin. I recalled one episode from some cartoons where some dude morphed into a dolphin. Shortly after, I felt weird, and I saw myself like in third person being a dolphin, but it was a cartoon one! I think dreamer was gone now, same for anotherdreamer and wondered if I would earn the points
      (I had no idea that full transformation gave points, well, not in the dream...)

      I kept swimming just moving my torso up and down (I had a fin I guess) and I could swim fine. I saw a huge brick wall, and I figured that since I was a cartoon dolphin, I could just pass through it without smashing it (as it usually happens) so I kept my eyes open to earn the points and it was like a hologram, a sunk brick hologram wall. But it was a real one as other fishes would hit it and avoid it. I think I kept swiming until I woke up.

    11. 2 TOTMs

      by
      gab
      , 02-05-2015 at 08:06 PM (Turquoise Dreams)
      alpha GPC 2x300 mgs 7:35am
      GM 2x4 mgs 8:27 am and straight to bed

      Woke up at 10 from totms, tried for more and slept for 27 more minutes

      Read the TOTM thread before bed. Now that I woke up, I got a twinge of fear if I remembered them or if my mind just made them up.

      As I layed down on my sofa, I start feeling "dreamy" in just a few minutes. Even with one of my cats sleeping between my feet, and another one jumping on and off me the whole time.

      Don't remember every detail from these lucids, since the whole thing lasted 2 hrs.

      I did lots of flying. Saw the moon finally and aimed for it. It was hanging low in the sky and had the spots in the right places. It was getting bigger as I was coming closer. There was something written on it. I remember "recruiter 444 (this was a phone number, but remember only first 4 digits).

      Few times when I stood up I wasn't even sure if I'm asleep or awake. So I was exiting the windows with as much caution as you can have when jumping out of them, haha.


      1. Candy
      I start feeling like I'm in a dream and I stand up. I come to a werehouse type of a store. I realize it's full of candy and I remember the TOTM. There is a black guy in grey hoodie on his head, putting product on the hanging rack. I ask him what is his favorite candy and what would he recommend. He says something, but is not very talkative. So I ask him if "this" one is good and I point to the candy in shape and size of a nerf ball, hanging on the rack.

      There is 4 of them in the package. He says yeah, it's a good one. I grab it and pinch off a fistsize. It's rubbery like gummy candy and it stretches. I put it in my mouth and it tastes like old fashioned gummies. Sooo good. I break off 3-4 more fistfulls and eat them all. The candy is starting to show different colored layers underneath.

      I ask him how much do I owe him and he says something like 2.50. I get in his face and ask him "are you sure you want me to pay you with money?"

      (I promised myself while falling asleep that I will avoid sex)

      2. Valentine card
      I stand up and start walking outside of my apartment. I'm with someone, so I tell him that I want to check out those mail boxes. There are some metal boxes on the wall, and I pretend those are mine, in case I wake up too soon. But there is something wrong with them, I forgot what was it

      So I decide to walk a bit and get to "mine" mailbox. I come to it and as I normally do, I pull out my keys. First I pick a car key to save time, and I'm thinking it's just a dream, so it should work. But it doesn't. So I find my real mailbox key. But that doesn't work either, the key doesn't fit, just like first time. I see some handles on them and I'm thinking maybe they will just open if I pull. I pull on the handle and it opens all the mailbox doors. They are wooden inside and completely empty. I open another row and also empty, except small baggie like for a ring or something. I'm hoping for a rolled up paper in it with a note, but I don't remember what was in it.

      3. Gold chains
      I start walking, looking for trouble. I see a kid with gold chain and I decide to take it from him. I see two grown ups nearby and I know they are kid's family. I'm hoping to provoke a fight. I take the chain and I walk to the adult males. They both have 3-4 gold chains on them. I have a feeling they are italian mafia. As I'm walking there, they start throwing the gold on the ground towards me. One guy walks towards me.
      Spoiler for explicit:


      4. Stadium dormitory
      I wake up what can be described as a stadium, with beds next to each other as in a dormitory. Some are sleeping, some are walking around. I tell somebody to get me a notebook to record my lucids before I forget.

      5. School
      I'm walking around the school. Come to a room with huge window. Cafeteria or library is on the other side. Lots of chairs and people sitting there. One row of tables it turned differently and older people are sitting there, watching the crowd. Must be the teachers.

      1.Riding in backseat with Wife. Rachel is driving. It's sunny prior to this wife had been out running errands now we are headed home. We have to stop the car at a tree in order to grab a branch and pull it into the car. The branch will give special properties to the car, of an unknown nature. I get out to get the branch and the tree is somewhat stripped. There is not a branch long enough for our needs. I pull one to try to bend it into the car, but no luck. wife says " hurry up I have to go soon" "Jesus Christ" I reply, "you have been gone all day" she says she is going to some bar by trader joes. I get back into the car and notice many curled up spiral shoes green inch worms in my legs. There is also a small translucent brown spider. I brush them all off and watch them squirm on the floor of the car.

      2. At work talking to an administrator with someone else. I refer to an earlier dream in this dream and say in a deep, crazily- reverbey voice " hey lackey, make me a fucking martini!" This is to satirize some character in the dream. The administrator is worried about how loudly I said this and peers into another room to see if anyone heard, but we are good. Someone drops a small object onto the floor, it rolls across the room and comes to rest near a wastebasket. I walk over and take a look, but cannot find it.


      3. I am at some dharma event in another city. It is the end of the teachings for the day . I am standing in some sort of grass quad area between 2-3 buildings. Several monks including one or two westerners come out of the left corner door at the junction of buildings. The buildings are laid out in a u shape. I see the monks then end up at the dharma center, looking for Khenpo Samdup to tell him about the teachings/ event. He is asleep and d1 wakes him up, he is laughing and mumbling. Also I am looking at a shelf of dharma books forgone that "is not just a bunch of meditation instructions" there are several shelves of books, one has a cover that is a very bright blue sky with wispy clouds.

      4. There is some sort of sleepover at the farm. I am staying in one of the back rooms. There are several couples staying in the rooms they are there for an event. I start off alone in a bed then some brunette woman gets in bed with me. After a bit she gets out and goes to another room. I get up and go walking through some of the rooms. Daughter 1 is in another back room with wife, daughter 1 gets wound up and runs into the different rooms, I am worried she will wake people. I look into one of the other rooms and see a couple laying in the bed, just sheets, no blanket. Dream shifts and now it is New Year's Eve and I am walking along a covered sidewalk with my brother and several others. We are going to my uncle Marty's bar? And realize that it is 11:58. We hear a countdown and begin to run to make it to the bar by 12. I do a crazy dive/roll across a street and land in my feet at the entrance to the bar. My uncle comes out with some beers, we nod at him but refuse and make it into the bar, just in time!

      fragments:
      a. Looking for a shirt to impress a lady with. There are various band shirts, including a white bad brains shirt. I self consciously choose one and have some trouble changing out of my current one.

      b. I am running across a large lawn, someone has just started to now so I am being mindful of them .

    14. Dreamer Vs. Dream Guide (LD #166)

      by , 02-05-2015 at 03:37 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I dreamed of my old family beach resort. That is strange, I haven't dreamed of that place in a long time.


      I was in my art history class. I had forgotten to do the homework. We still had [a large amount of time] before class to do the work. I thought about trying to do it, but instead decided to get up and leave class.

      ...

      I somehow found myself in a martial arts/combatatives shop. They sold everything relating to fighting here. Guns. Bows. Swords. I remember seeing some of the weapons on the wall and thinking I wanted to get one. I knew that I was in some sense or another 'allowed to'.

      The front room of the store was cramped with all the weapons and gear. I made my way into the back room that was almost completely empty.

      I then ran into a group of about a dozen martial artists, proudly wearing white uniforms and black belts. They asked me how good I was with a bo staff and gave me one. I started spinning it around, as I did telling them that I've never had any formal training or practice with one. I just used to have a stick and I would use it for play.

      They then asked me if I found it funny when I was teaching new students if they got [two similar stances] mixed up. I told them about how (IWL) I've been attending Taekwondo lessons for four years, and I still got [those stances] mixed up sometimes. Because I was making mistakes and open to learning I didn't find it annoying.

      They didn't seem to happy with this answer and left me there.

      Then the shop owner came up and told me that I was here because someone had challenged me to a fight. He said that he couldn't tell me who because my challenger had chosen to remain anonymous until the fight.

      I asked him what the rules of the fight are. He told me that it was totally open. Any moves were fair-game. The only rule is I am not allowed to bring other people in with me.

      He gave me a different outfit, a black martial arts uniform and told me to head up to [some cave] where the battle would take place.

      I teleported outside. I became lucid around here and realized that I wanted everyone to hurry up and get this fight on, with all the short-lived
      lucidity I've been having, there was no way we were going to see some action.

      The cave was out in a snowy tundra in the mountains. The only way into the cave was a rope bridge. It seemed to be made out of these tough vines of some sort. I couldn't really tell. It led into a cave. Inside the cave was mostly filled with water. (Very cold water, since tundra and all) but there was a small platform, about 20ft around in the middle that the bridge connected to. There were a couple of waterfalls coming into the edge of the cave and a couple of holes in the ceiling where sunlight shown through like a spotlight onto the main floor.

      There was another bridge that came from the opposite side of the cave. There were all of these people on the opposite side that were watching, including the guys that were in the back of the shop from earlier. It didn't take them long to send their opponent across. Some of them had even set up tents and what not.

      So, you already know I was supposed to fight Manei, my very own dream guide. But I didn't know that just yet. (TBH I didn't pick up on it until halfway into the fight.) Because when she came across, I hardly recognized her. She had cut her hair short (not really short, just short enough to lay flat on top of the head.) She wasn't wearing her headband. Though I guess what threw me for a loop was the idea that Manei had picked a fight with anyone. She's always given me the vibe that she was something of a pacifist.

      But the reason I didn't recognize her was the fact that her energy/aura that I usually felt seemed completely absent. It was strange, and I am still not 100% sure that the character that I fought was her.

      She tried to taunt me into attacking first, but I remained quiet and motionless. Eventually she just charged right at me, winding up for a big punch right in the face. It was like facing down a charging bull.

      I simply sidestepped and tripped her with one foot as she came in. I honestly did not expect that to work at all. She fell forward but managed to catch herself. She got to her feet ready to fight again. She went in for a couple kicks. I noticed that her form was horrible, she wasn't guarding her body and seemed off balance.

      When she moved in for a punch I was able to duck under her. I was coming around to elbow her in the back when I realized that I was fighting Manei, and what I was about to do could really hurt someone. I tried to think of another way that I could end this fight quickly without really hurting her. I for some reason thought of how in Avatar, that one girl (Ty Lee was it?) can Chi-Block her opponents and paralyze them without hurting them.

      I threw a couple of random quick jabs to her back and (Because lucid dream) it worked. Her right arm was completely paralyzed, hanging limp at her side. She came around with her left and tried to punch me. I grabbed her with my left and twisted her wrist around so that she was off balance. Two more jabs with my right arm and both arms were paralyzed.

      I stood back and looked at her. Her hair was long now, but undone and messy. For some reason the dream became really detailed here. I could see every detail in her. Her facial expression, full of aggression. Her arms, that she was already starting to get feeling back in them. She was opening and closing her fists. I could even see her breath in the cold air of the cave. The cave itself became more detailed too. I could now hear the waterfalls and see little crystals inside the stone floor.

      The fight dragged on for a few minutes of interlude combat. She didn't manage to land a single solid hit, despite giving it her all. I didn't land many hits either, I was being very careful not to hurt her.

      After awhile, She didn't want to fight anymore, she wanted to wrestle. I put my hands into my pockets. She ran right at me ready to grab me and take me to the floor. When she got in close, I jumped back, and landed on my back, feet in the air. She jumped for me and I kicked her up and behind me. I heard a splash sound. By the time I got up I saw the spot in the water where she had gone in.

      I began to notice that she wasn't coming back up. Either that kick or the cold water had knocked her out.

      "Huh... man... that water looks cold!"

      I jumped in and fished her out. Despite being fully lucid, she seemed impossibly heavy and I was barely able to lift her out. I managed to get her back up onto the arena. She coughed up a bunch of water.

      For some reason or another, I had to carry her across back to her family. And my oh my, I wish I had a smaller dream guide. One of the martial arts guys came over to me, the oldest and most experienced. He told me that it was customary for dream guides to fight their dreamer at least once. He gave some reasoning behind it, but I didn't find it very valid, or think that it applied to me and her.

      He also told me about how you might expect that most of the time the guide would win, but in reality it is actually about 50/50. In most cases it really depends on the personality of the dreamer/guide rather than their position.

      The last thing that I remember was her little sister of about six years old (or who I assumed was her little sister) running up and asking if she was okay. She had gone unconscious again. I told her that she would be fine. The dream ended and I woke up.
