    1. Beginner Waterbending

      by , 10-09-2014 at 12:11 AM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #368 - DILD - Time unknown

      I didn't have my DJ handy and I was super lazy but I spent some time committing the dream to memory though I drifted off into a new dream a few times. I was pretty happy to make my first attempt at waterbending. It's not bad for a first try.

      I am chasing someone on a dirt bike down a forest hill. I notice that we keep making huge leaps into the air but landing softly and passing through trees. I am reminded of jumping down hills in Elder Scrolls and I gain some awareness from it.

      I am only partially lucid here and I don't recall much but I am in some version of the hotel room with my wife and son. We have some conversation and I find myself standing next to the bed looking at my wife. I was about to play some prank on her but I suddenly remember my goal (waterbending). This brings me to full lucidity and I turn away looking for water.

      There is a desk next to a window. I go to it and try to summon a glass of water. It's not quite working but I pretend it's there and begin to focus on waterbending. Something like melted plastic comes up from the invisible glass. It's weird and not what I wanted at all. As a gesture of mild frustration, I roll my eyes and look out the window for a moment then go back to focusing on the water.

      There is now a full glass of water sitting on the desk. Pleased, I go straight into bending. I cup my hands near the glass and focus energy pulling the water up. A nice streams slowly floats up but the quickly slashes back into the glass. I try again with much more effort. Small streams of water begin running up the sides of the glass and beyond. The effect looks pretty cool but I am suddenly awakened by something unknown.

    2. Kamehameha – My first Energy Ball

      by , 10-08-2014 at 07:17 PM
      I was walking down a path, with two friends, in a heavily wooded forest. The leaves on the trees were all green, which I found to be very odd since it is fall here in Canada. In the waking world the leaves have all turned to colors, or have completely fallen off the trees. I knew instantly I was dreaming. I’m Lucid!

      I turned around and decided to take off. I find this helps to stabilize the lucid dream. Leaping into the air horizontally with the expectation to fly away, quite the opposite happened; I landed face first on my chest. I decided to flap my arms to see if this would help me lift off. Suddenly I had wings! As I was flapping my wings, I could feel them pushing against the air, giving me lift. It felt similar to swimming, except you’re moving very fast. I called for my daughter to come and join my lucid dream, as I always do, because I miss her dearly, and a lucid dream is a great place to visit.

      I was flying high above a field, and I could see a bunch of people below me, running after me (on the ground). I immediately flew down and landed. All the adults in the group kept on running into the forest, and I yelled at them to comeback. They momentarily paused and looked at me, but kept on going. All the youths stayed there, about 10 of them, and they wanted to know how I was flying. One of them looked at me and said you’ve been hexed. I told him, “No I’m not, I’m lucid dreaming!” I proceeded to explain how this possible. After I was done, the kids left because somebody was calling for them.

      I proceeded into a house in attempt to find my daughter. In the house, I found my wife, and an elderly woman. My wife seemed like a dream character, but the elderly woman was full of life and expression. I then showed them some of aerobatic moves in the confines of the kitchen, and the elderly woman seemed to appreciate this. We then walked into the living room, where my wife suddenly cranked up the stereo. It was so loud, I couldn’t even think, and it was messing with my lucidity, and certainly wasn’t helpful for trying to meet up with my daughter. I tried to turn the stereo down, but the control knob didn’t work. I then tried to split the stereo in half by thought. It stretched a bit, but no luck. I then remembered what PercyLucid told me about using an energy beam to blow stuff up. I’ve watch the complete Dragon Ball Z series with my son, so I have a pretty good idea what this was about. I put out my left hand and concentrated. A very small sphere of white light started to form. I then took both my hands and cupped them like the Dragon Ball Z characters doing a Kamehameha. It worked! A perfect ball of energy, about the size of a grapefruit, formed in my hands. It was glowing orange, was transparent, and had 100’s of stings of electricity zapping around inside it. It was so cool. I prepared to Kamehameha the stereo, and then my wife moved in front of it. I didn’t want blast my wife! I looked at the elderly woman and asked her what should I do with this ball of energy? She pointed at a wooden trunk and said, “Shoot the trunk!” I release my Kamehameha at the trunk in an energy beam form, then to my surprise it bounced off, hitting the ground. It then turned into a ball of yarn. I laughed, and said, “That’s not much of a Kamehameha!” The elderly woman didn’t find any humor in this.

      I flew out of the house to continue my search for my daughter. I landed on top of a building. Off in the distance I could see my daughter through a window, standing in a building! I was just about to fly over there, and then I woke up, because I got excited about seeing my daughter. I remained perfectly still in my bed trying to go back into the dream. Within seconds I was back in the dream, but my daughter was gone. Where did she go? I flew back down into the same house where my wife and the elderly woman were earlier. The house was different inside; it was now an old fashion store, full of goods and ware. There were at least fifty people in there. They all seemed to be staring at me. Suddenly this guy appeared out of nowhere and grabbed me, and said, “Tone it down, people are starting to notice!” His face, eyes, and expression was so real, I found it shocking. I could then see white light irradiating from me, and the man then had a shocked look on his face as he quickly arched his back away from me. I then woke up.

    4. Alien battle / Mansion game

      by , 10-08-2014 at 06:15 PM

      What is it recently with all these game dreams? I haven't watched TV or played a computer game in ages.

      I went to bed at 10PM without a sleep mask and was woken up at 1:15AM.


      Alien battle
      I'm behind a building with some other people getting ready to play some sort of game in which we'll be fighting off an alien invasion. The building has a couple of wings - from our vantage it looks L-shaped, though I don't know how the building would have looked from the air. With one wing behind us, another wing to our left, and a treeline to our right, the field of play was bounded on three sides but stretched off into the distance. The terrain is hard-packed dirt that's not graded - parts of it are flatish, but other parts have mounds big enough to hide behind or depressions deep enough to hide in. I take take some equipment out of my pockets and get ready.

      Now we're in the midst of the battle. The creatures are much larger than I anticipated, so everything is much tougher than I'd expected. We're falling back, giving ground to them, and I don't think we'll last much longer. I drop down in a depression near the building to take cover.


      I went back to bed around 1:30 and was woken up at 3:10.

      Mansion game
      I'm standing outside "my church" helping to prepare for potluck. My father-in-law is just bringing the trash cans back from the street along the really, really long driveway. The whole place is wooded, and I can't see the road from where I'm standing. I see Michelle coming out of the church, and I know she's working on getting everything clean. I continue on a path around to the right and see my wife sitting on a bench under a small pavilion. I keep walking and see more of these little pavilions each with a couple of benches. Now I'm back immediately outside the church, still helping to set up, and the weather is turning bad. I need to grab a heated ceramic basket, bring it inside, and fill it with punch.

      Now I'm inside a gloomy mansion, playing some kind of real life RPG. I'm currently working with some other people to protect a young girl. In a room nearby, one of my team members has just been surrounded by a bunch of dog-things that appeared out of nowhere. Up until this point, we've been doing such a good job protecting the girl that she doesn't think there's any danger at all and we're just messing with her, so she hares off deciding to look for the truth. Unfortunately, she stumbles into the room with all the dogs. My team member rolls a 5, but it's not enough, and the girl gets captured. Now I'm in another room talking with her, trying to figure out if we could have done something differently or if the girl getting captured is part of the story (after all, this is the very end of chapter 2). I have a flash of inspiration that maybe we misread what the die role meant and ask her to show it to me. I look at it and deflate, realizing that the 5 she rolled didn't mean what I thought, but instead meant that she could kill 5 of the dogs. Since there were far more than that, there was nothing else she could do.

      Now I'm watching the game from the outside, and my character is in a different hallway of this gloomy mansion. The wizard (a good guy) is in a room nearby, but he's in some kind of trance and is currently helpless to defend himself (or us). I get a menu with at least half a dozen options, including both killing the wizard and killing myself. I know he'd prevent either if he were out of his trance, so I decide to try one of the crazy options (I can always restore back to this point later). I take the "try to kill yourself" option to see what would happen. My character ends up getting turned into a large (intelligent) dog, then gets transported to the top of a snowy mountain where he eventually starts a dog family and lives out the rest of his life (Bad Ending Number ???).


      Fragment: something in a hospital room?


      I was woken up a couple more times through the night and didn't recall any more dreams.

    5. Friendly Females

      by , 10-08-2014 at 04:12 PM
      We were in this house in my dream. It seemed to be that my friends here were the ones I play with in an online video game. We kind of loaded in to the house and our goal was a scavenger hunt of some sort. I didn't realize what we were doing at first, but it only took me a moment. So I went around looking for the clues, supposing I'd know them when I seen them. I ended up looking out the windows, where I noticed that it was raining hard. The windows had a storm window in them that needed to be closed so I did that to a few. The next thing that wasn't right was a bed that seemed to be lop-sided. In trying to fix it, I ended up tearing it half apart. It was a waterbed and apparently some of the water had leaked out. Also the headboard was not square as it should have been, instead it morphed into a flat screen tv that was bent to the side. At that point I gave up on it.

      The dream transitions a bit to what seems to inside a catering food truck although it still resembles the house I was just in also. It has a kitchen in the back. Anyways these two cute females were there with me. We were having a good time, and of course the flirting led me to having sex with them. It was more of a desire rather than a lucid decision. They were willing too, and the one with the blonde hair got naked for me. She got down on her hands & knees for me to get her from behind. While I was involved with her hinny, her friend got her face up in there while we were at it. When we were most of the way through, the chick who was behind me started morphing so I ended up pushing her away.

      After the sex, we were still hanging around in the kitchen area trying to clean up the place. Although the one girl morphed earlier, she was back to her original self now. A guy that I had seen earlier in the dream shows back up too, and here I am trying to find a place to put the leftover hamburger when the dream faded out.

    6. Professor Penguinstein, Nearly manifested a lucid from the ground up (LD #118)

      by , 10-08-2014 at 12:49 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I am on my college campus; somewhere. It actually feels like a couple of locations on the campus blended together. I can recall S being involved somehow, we were walking and talking about various things. S goes to class and leaves me in a courtyard.
      Then, some random male student starts yelling
      "Look! It's Professor Penguinstein!"
      I turn and look and I see perhaps the funniest looking dream character ever. I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, but they were about three feet tall, very fat, with short stubby legs and they waddled like a penguin. He/she had long wavy brown hair in a ponytail, going down to their waist. They wore a cap and gown, and carried a big ruler. He/She had these huge cheeks, with a giant mole on one of them, and a voice like Thor that demanded respect.
      The student takes me to watch this professor teach a class. Supposedly this professor, also a scholar, had knowledge in every subject that they teach on campus. Also, PP was like 8 years old.
      ...
      There is some other part to this dream where there were some cheerleaders practicing in the quad. Some guys had stopped to check them out, but I found their cheer very annoying and took it as motivation to leave.

      Some dream showing me computer graphics about maintaining a healthy digestive system. Apparently I had been diagnosed with some disease that causes the fluids in your stomach to turn solid occasionally and this can cause problems.


      I am in 'the black'. I become lucid and realize that I am asleep. There is just no dream happening right now. Well, i'll just have to create one. I create the sky and the ground, and then for some reason a school comes into the picture, which was weird because I didn't consciously create a school. I am inside the school, but I can see out the door, the endless plane of rocks and sand in front of me.
      I then see Manei, very clearly appear in the school. I didn't consciously add her to the dream either. She is walking toward me, running her hand across the lockers in the hall. Dream guide: good. School setting: bad. I try to phase away the school by focusing only on her.
      I lose control and wake up.

    7. Fight, Parking Lot, Alex's House

      by , 10-08-2014 at 11:26 AM (One Up Seeker)
      1. It was daytime and I was outside of my school in the B parking lot. I was standing next to a couple of friends, and one of them was my friend Andrew. Suddenly for no reason he got really mad at me and we started arguing. It got so intense that we almost got into a fight. I remember that he was wearing his normal jacket that he wears to school often and a pair of cargo shorts.
      (recently I have had alot of dreams of him being mad at me, not sure what it means)

      2. I was at my friend Alex's house and it was really late at night. Me and a few other friends were chilling at his house. I remember playing music out loud from my phone and Alex got upset and told me to turn it off because the nanny that he had over for his baby brother was trying to sleep. I looked over across his living room and saw the nanny trying to sleep in the recliner. I could tell I had just woken her up and felt kind of bad. From then on I tried being really quiet and kept my music off.
      Soon after, the nanny got up and left the house and went home. I looked outside and it was daytime. It seemed like it was somewhere around 7 or 8 in the morning. Suddenly my mom came by and stopped at Alex's house and told me that I needed to go home. I said goodbye to everyone and my friend Dylan told me he was going home too. Then I got in my moms car and she started driving. As she did I saw my friend Dylan walking home along the side of the road. I thought it normal. Then, not to far ahead I saw Dylan again, wearing different clothes.
      As my mom continued driving, she almost hit the 2nd Dylan that was walking. He was wearing a t-shirt, some basketball shorts, and shoes of course. My mom also almost ran into a car as she tried passing the 2nd Dylan.

      3. I was outside at nighttime at a place I had never been to before. I had been standing next to this small body of water while waiting for my friend Dylan to do something. Next to me I saw two bikes, one was all red and the other was green. They each had smooth cruiser wheels(the bike ones) and looked really nice. I picked the red one up(<lol OneUp) and noticed that it had some sort of tag on it to where you could rent it. The other bike had this as well. I figured I would rent the red one, so I got on it and prepared to ride it.
      Suddenly two guys came outside: one black dude, and his Asian friend. The black guy looked furious. He rushed over to me and yelled, "What are you doing with my bike!?!?! Get off of it right now!!!" I told him that I was sorry and that I didn't know it was his bike. After that I put the bike down. The guy then asked me, "Do you wanna fight?!!?! I'm gonna beat your ass!". This made it for me, now I wanted to beat the guy senseless. The black guy came at me but I blocked his shots and returned them. Whenever I started fighting him, the way we fought seemed like it was out of a video game.
      Whenever we punched each other, we would directly hit each other, but only the air in front of us. Of course that didn't mean him or I couldn't feel the hits, we still could. We continued fighting and then I noticed that somehow we were now in front of a picnic table with spaghetti on it outside. We continued fighting while walking over to the table of spaghetti. Once we got to it we sat down on opposite sides of the table and started eating. All of this happened while we were still fighting.
      Suddenly as we got up off the table with spaghetti the black dude's Asian friend joined in the fight. I started fighting both of them, and once the Asian dude got in the fight it all felt like I was fighting with a Wii controller and a Wii numb chuck. My friend Dylan never helped me out, and actually I don't even know where he went.

    8. #22 - Just Using His Toothbrush?/Another Field Trip/The Dream Heroes

      by , 10-08-2014 at 10:18 AM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      Black: Non-dream
      Blue: Non-lucid
      Red: Lucid

      First attempt to SSILD

      Dream 1: Dick Move
      I'm in a really nice house, the interior is white with modest gold framed paintings hung on the wall and soft couches. I'm walking down a hallway after running out of toothpaste and being unable to brush my teeth, an Indian friend of mine (not sure who it was) leads me to the left and down a flight of stairs. We end up in his room and he disappears off somewhere, so I head to his bathroom for some reason. A basin is in this room, with a large mirror above it and 4 tubes of toothpaste too, as well as an electric toothbrush (Pretty annoyed when I didn't even try to reality check with the mirror). I use his electric toothbrush without tooth paste to get some gunk out of my mouth, I put it back and it's got food bits in it, then I spit in the sink (I stopped brushing because I realized it was a dick move, but I don't even try to wash it or anything). I take a tube of toothpaste thinking it'd be okay, and then following this I seem to reflect again on just how much of a dick move it is to just use his stuff.

      Dream 2: Another Field Trip
      So I seem to have quite a few of these geology field trip based dreams. I'm on a huge cliff overhang that protrudes out over a large forest, I seem to be viewing it from a distance (like I'm flying and looking down on it as I hover over the forest). The area is a renowned rock-climbing region, with curving 'paths' of rivets for climbing down the cliff, there are also various caves distributed as rest points for people climbing down. The goal for our field trip is to climb down this rock wall and look at the geology of the area. I climb down and see a bald man climb into one of the caves, he halls himself over and plops into waist deep water. I follow in suit, but instead of getting into the water I edge along a bit and climb onto a bench-like protrusion. Resting my weary head while my fellow classmates filled the cave, I get the feeling I got bumped and the ruckus they were causing was annoying me (they're extremely loud usually).

      Dream 3: Dream Heroes
      I am a traveling wanderer like Ginko from Mushishi and come to a small village in a jungle. The inhabitants don't wear much clothing (tribal looking), I converse with a woman from here for quite a while and ask if they have a shower I can use. She says she's never even seen a shower, who would have guessed. I have a distinct feeling that food and water are scarce around here, and the dream gets hazy for a while. I'm sitting down and talking to a man, a deer runs past in the background and I instantly think that the hunt has begin. I feel like the land beyond is a desert and I can't catch the deer. The dream becomes less hazy, I'm conversing with a man again, he is tan, muscular and twice my size, we converse with him for a while. I have a book in hand about their history concerning heroes, they have about 7-9 I think. The last hero is a woman who accomplished much more than all the previous heroes, I say to the man "Could you tell me a bit about the history of your village?". He complies enthusiastically by using various stabbing motions to illustrate glorious kills on a hunt while telling the story. As he does this, I read a bit of the book again, this time I noticed that the word 'dream' came up, and then 'lucid dream'... The warriors in their history had all their deeds related to dreaming for some reason.

      I woke up afterwords and realized that the dreaded dream about lucid dreaming had occurred without becoming lucid

    9. The void

      by , 10-08-2014 at 09:55 AM
      Last night I found a new and very weird place in my dream world. I don't know its name, but I call it the void.

      The void is a spectacular place. As the name suggests, it mostly an empty gigantic space. It is not dark, at least I think so, since I can see perfectly inside of it. The empty space has this faint blue luminescence that allowed me to see. I could also float around at will, merely thinking where i wanted to go was enough to make me float in the direction.

      It seems that the void contains fragments of buildings, soil and other things floating in patches. These patches must be incredibly far apart, for I could see no other patch from the ones I visited. These small areas are connected by some kind of wormholes, that looked like spots of absolute black against the blueness of the void. I soon learned that the wormholes was deceptive, if you go through one you end up in a new spot, but if you then go back again then you don't end up where you started! I learned that the hard way, when I realized it was impossible for me to backtrack my way to the patch I came from.

      I don't remember how I ended up there, together with two people who I saw as rivals, if not enemies. I had fought them, each of us leaders of a faction of some sorts. Probably a battle inspired by the unhealthy amounts of strategy games I've played lately....

      One of our common enemies, a necromancer, lived in the void. He had the power to open a gateway to the normal world. Maybe that is how we ended up there?
    10. Stafroom Climbing

      by , 10-08-2014 at 09:27 AM
      I was in a building complex, David and I were trying to find our way to the top or too this office area where I believe the teachers stayed at (Staffroom). After looking of an exit we got Sahar to come and help us and we ended up climbing a ladder, I reached the top and David didn’t. I woke up

      Dream
      Lucidity


      I was in a suburban neighborhood going to a friend's house, who had a Muslim father. We liked each other but couldn't date because her dad had just found out that she wanted to be a Christian. Some sort of earthquake was going to happen so I went to pick up something at a Walmart. Some guy started messing with me and we got in a fight. He pulled out a small little gun and I disarmed him and beat him even more. Security took me in and told me to do a memo on what happened. J. Martinez and R. Granado showed up and helped me, even showing me camera footage of the incident. What happened was nothing like I remembered and I did a lot of references to Frozen while talking to the guy I had fought. I watched a lot of videos of me fighting and I was thinking about dreaming and did a failed reality check. In the room I was with, Megan was sleeping. Megan got up because of some sort of leg pain. I hugged her and asked her if she was ok and told her I loved her since she said it first.
      --------------------------------------------------

      I was in what I knew was my room and somehow realized I was dreaming. I flew up to the top of the building I was in and I started playing with my water magic. I spun in circles embracing the water I conjured. I looked at my hands but no water was coming out, which angered me a little. I flew around the night and jumped off the roof to the ground many stories down, only to do it all over again not once feeling fear or pain. Testing my dream control, I flew through the floor, appearing in the same room I was in. I did the same with the roof of the room. I decided to leave and went back to where I was, looking for a door to teleport me out of the area. For some reason, the first thing that came to mind was a prostitution ring, so that's where I chose to go. Going through a door, that led to a bathroom, I decided to go through the bookshelf and the wall behind it because I knew that would take me somewhere. I walked towards the bookshelf and eventually through it, only to get stuck half-way inside it. I wailed my arms, trying to grab onto something to pull me past the shelf but I told myself "It's all about expectation" and expecting to actually be able to go through the wall, I did, entering a long, dark, scary hallway. I reached for my flashlight, wondering if I even had my duty belt on. I shined my flashlight through the hallway, illuminating the way with a realistic beam. I covered the flashlight halfway, in case there was something on the other side of the hallway that could see the beam.
      Eventually, I came upon a large, empty office room on a high building, with windows that allowed me to see out into the other tall buildings in the city. Looking around, I saw a desk, couch, bookshelf, old TV, and some paperwork. I knew it had to represent something so I yelled out "What does this represent!?" and pointing at the TV, implying that it would turn on and tell me my answer. Instead, the TV turned on and showed a channel with weak signal and static. There was a bag full of money but on the straps holding the money, there were notes that would read in order. The notes were from many different people and I knew one of them was personally from my subconscious, I saw another one that said it was from my pastor. The one from my subconscious stated something about when I was younger. I started worrying about remembering everything when I woke up but kept reading. I saw a map with a list of places but the only one I could remember was 'Rake's, OH' before waking up.

      I was a hero in counter strike and the setting was in Venezuela. I was in some sort of big indoor or underground city doing city type stuff like taking taxis, buying groceries, hitting on girls, etc. I got a gun and some monster machines started attacking an important building that had to do with money. Me and my partner defended the place but eventually got overrun so we jumped off a railing and onto the floor, doing a roll and running up an elevator away from zombies. My partner told me to get inside and as I was running, I saw a big monster inside the elevator. We fought the monster and managed to kill it as we went up hundreds of stories. My parners clothing looked like an older version of the TF2 scout and he was sad that he had to let go of his bat to kill the monster. We got out of the elevator and ran through a forest at night as he was saying how sad he was.

      I was in some mall library with my aunt. There was a ghost in the wall that had to do something with dreams. I tried defeating the ghost with someone but I couldn't.

      I was at work walking on an intersection. The light was red and I was putting on some boots. As I did, I felt how comfortable they were. The light turned green and Alberto honked at me and said "You're not in a hurry are you?" and we walked into a mall. He explained how I could get a few stops before depleting the time. We walked into the Hudson stop, where Alberto turned into Dale and started complaining about the wet floor and his bad knee.

      Dream
      False Awakening


      I was jogging up a hill on a sidewalk with cars passing me. When a truck passed me, I didn't hear any sounds from it so I figured I was dreaming. I woke up and said "Damn, it's too late" and the scene changed back to the hill. Everything was very vivid. I arrived to an Air Force base where I met a recruiter to send me to boot camp. I would be in 1b 1b 1b, and found out it was a haunted dorm.
    15. Good Start, Failed Pumpkin TOTM

      by , 10-08-2014 at 06:29 AM (Cities in the Astral)
      10/06/14 I woke up in the hotel this morning to my alarm and decided to try the TOTM about open a pumpkin. Like always I decided to add my own twists. I had decided that I would go to a cool field and grow a large pumpkin plant from seed and then open the pumpkin with a bolt of lightning from the sky.

      I closed my eyes and thought "grow a pumpkin and look inside" about 10 times. It hit and I was in a dream. It was almost like an FA in that I was in my hotel room bed in the dream, and I was not 100% sure it was a dream yet. I look over and another bed is in the room. Oddly enough my mother is in the other bed and looking at a cat that is on the floor. Pretty sure this is a dream, but still a hint of haze. She asks what I think these cats are doing in the room. Now there are three cats in the room and one is biting another of them.
      I tell her that I am pretty sure they are not real as none of this makes sense. I point out that if cats lived in this room it would smell bad and that i was just going to observe for a second. Some one walks by. That does it! "Yep, see, it is clearly a dream, our hotel room is now also a hallway with people in it. I would stay and chat but I have to go grow a pumpkin."
      She stands up and looks excited, "Oh cool, can I help?"
      "Sorry mom, but this is just a dream and you are not real. I have a 9 minute snooze set and need to hurry, bye!" I decide that I need to be in a place where finding pumpkin seeds will be quick, but this now looks like an airport. I start to run across the floor knowing they must have a salad bar at one of the restaurants. There it is. A salad bar appears in my path. I reach into the first bowl of topping knowing it will be pumpkin seeds.

      Pumpkin seeds on a salad bar? "of course! shut up and look in your hand." Still running.

      i see smallish seeds. "they look more like squash seeds, and wont they be roasted if they are on a salad bar?" Suppress that thought. Of course they are uncooked pumpkin seeds. I believe myself and keep running.

      I reach an exit and start flying. "The airport is a long way from a field, should we teleport?"

      No need, abridge the scenery, see there by the hill side. A hill side appears and I jet over towards it. Everything is very vivid now. A road is between me and the hill and large cranes are moving down the road. Ignore that. I get stuck up against a crane and fumble with getting around it. I get to the hill side and it does not look like a spooky autumn meadow. geese, picky aren't we for having a 9 minute window to work with.
      You can do it, don't half ass it. OK, fine, there is a nice meadow around the corner. I go around the corner and am in front of the Capitol building. It is basically a nice meadow, but people are there and it is hardly spooky. You know what? close enough, plant the damn seeds.

      I should just cast them out on the ground and make them sprout as they fall. No, don't cheat, plant one seed.

      I bend down and grab a stick and poke a hole in the ground. A random Dc says "het you are digging in dog poop!"

      Yes, it now looks like that may be true, but I alter the image, "I am digging next to it to help this seed grow."

      I stick a pumpkin seed in the hole and the alarm goes off. I tell myself that I can ignore it and keep dreaming, but it soon forces me awake. well not a bad start for my first night trying.
