    2. Mild (MILD?) Frustration

      by , 08-11-2014 at 06:03 PM (Threecat's Dreamtime)
      Last night felt distinctly lucid twice only to lose the dream upon reentry.

      In the first, I am in a bedroom, and having a discussion on lucid dreaming (while lucid).In hypnopomia, I even review the dream so as not to lose it (if I had had my shit together, I would have simply awoken and recorded the dream). Once fully awake, the dream memory vaporizes in front of me, more or less.

      Probably one of the first two dreams of the night, which historically are not great moments for dream recall for me. However, I think I have been lazy with recall per se, as I have been experiencing lots of day residue and "garbage" dreams that I have neglected to record in any great detail. Maybe this is the impetus I need to get back into recording my dreams in detail.

      Second dream: I am lucid and attempting to complete the tasks of the month, but don't remember scenery or whether or not I succeed at any of the tasks, or indeed even remember them correctly. Gab has developed software to assist dreamers while they are still dreaming, and to publish their attempts at the TotM. She publishes mine (in a tiny newspaper), describing my attempt.

      The dream drifts into a
      semi-lucid where I am running a foot race through an apartment complex (maybe my old digs) with a WL friend. He is extremely fast, and while I am able to manipulate the dream to make myself faster than I normally am, he is still beating me. We are running at night alongside a chainlink fence, and there are several hairpin turns in the grass. I epicly jump over the fence and into some undergrowth, but am still daunted by how fast my opponent is. I attribute this in dream to his long legs.

      Finally, I am able to use some of my minions (apparently I had minions) to help me cheat. One of them grabs my WL friend through the fence while I am able to take off and finish the race. However, my awareness stays with my friend and is in fact shifted into that of my minion. At the moment when I feel I must release him (as he's fighting me the whole time) another minion grabs him, my awareness shifts into that minion, and then I turn mine and his hands into stone (I am grabbing him by the wrists). During all of this I more or less feel that I am dreaming, but just don't "get" it.


      I tried a different method of MILD than what I am used to, and think I will continue the experiment tonight. I will keep you all updated

    3. 5 Minute Dream

      by , 08-11-2014 at 05:59 PM (Zukin's Dream Journal! <3)
      This happened between my last 5 minute snooze on my alarm clock (9:55am to 10am)

      I was in my bedroom, and I wanted to get some air flowing inside the room since it was really stuffy. I cracked my window open, but snow from outside started rushing in. This was a problem. If I left the windows closed, it was going to get hot in here. But if I left them open, my carpet was going to get wet. I settled on an illogical intermediate of cracking the window open no more than a couple millimeters.

      I went downstairs and started talking to my mother. She said that there was supposed to be some really bad storms today. I drank something, and went back upstairs. This time, I was in my bedroom at school. I sat down on the bed, and noticed that it was getting really dark outside. It was only morning, but it was almost as dark as night time outside. I decided it was time to turn on the light.

      I walked over to the light switch to flip it on, but nothing happened. I wondered if the storm had caused us to lose power. Yet, lights never work when I am dreaming, so I did a reality check - dreaming. I had some things that I had been wanted to do, but right now I was drawing a total blank. I remembered the Task of the Month - gauge your eyeballs out. I did one last reality check to absolutely confirm that I was dreaming before I did this. I stuck my fingers into my eye sockets and felt around. First of all - yuck. Second, OUCH. IT HURT. Like, really fucking bad. Despite the pain, I kept going but I couldn't see shit. Well, I saw the color red. Maybe that was supposed to be blood. So in the process of gauging out my eyeballs, I blinded myself. Great.

      I stuck my eyeballs back in and thought about what I wanted to do next. I thought about doing another task of the month, but I couldn't remember any of the other ones. I remembered the elevator one from last month, but then remembered that I had promised my wolf pack that I would shapeshift and help find a good place for us.

      I jumped out the window and was instantly in the middle of an absolutely beautiful field. There were yellow flowers growing in the field and an old farm house at the very end. To the left was a flowing stream and there were lambs nearby, too. I shapeshifted into a wolf and started running across the field. I've never shapeshifted into a wolf before, so this was a new experience for me. I could feel that my back legs were significantly more powerful than my front legs. It took a minute, but then I realized how to coordinate them to run powerfully like a wolf. This was really a beautiful place! But the lambs were very distracting. And tasty looking.

      I decided that it was time for the hunt.

      I began to stalk my prey, slowly inching closer. When I was at a reasonable distance, I leaped forward and sunk my teeth into the lamb...at which point my alarm clock went off.
    4. Pokemon

      by , 08-11-2014 at 03:57 PM
      Gamestop
      It's night and I'm walking with my sister on the street. We walk by a gamestop. I ask her if it's worth buying pokemon Silver, which they are heavily advertising. She says yes, because it has alot of extra content in it that gold doesn't have. This is because Lugia's in the game. I ask her if this is similar to how Crystal had Suicune in it and had some extra features compared to Gold and Silver to which she responds with a yes. We decide to go in. I see a bunch of xbox games on my left, but upon closer inspection in seems that they are in fact gamecube and ps3 games. I'm looking for Silver. I go to the man at the back, since I can't find the game, and I think he's sleeping. I pay him some money anyways, even though I haven't found the game yet, thinking I'll just take it once I've found it since I've already paid. Before doing this however, we ran in to two twin girls. They were heavy, wore glasses, and were blonde (similar to a person I know). We knew each other from when we were kids (only in the dream) and were surprised to see each other. They said they were at the gamestop because they wanted to participate in this slime challenge? (there were two large cannons in the gamestop that looked similar to the mega cannon chip from megaman. There were also some big beanie bags to sit on) We end up outside again and the twins are in a car. We're still talking. I'm walking by some tree roots and the twins mention that there aren't many black people at this college.

      Deforestation
      I'm with my sister again, but my uncle and cousin are there as well. I'm lounging in a comfy chair with my old gameboy advance sp. I can clearly see how bright red it is, and I think my battery may have been low. I talk to my cousin about video games, particularly if he's played Skyrim. He says he hasn't, and I say that's ok, but I secretly think it's not. My uncle then brings up deforestation, and I think there's a forest in sight.

      Usopp
      Usopp and one other member of the straw hat pirates, maybe Chopper (it might actually be zoro), were both gone on a mission. The straw hat pirates were fighting this evil sorceress. She was absorbing the powers of the Earth. She was on top of some huge cliff and there was this waterfall surrounding everything. At the base of the cliff were the Wood benders, and they were flying up toward her due to her tornado like summon. Once they reached her, she would absorb their strength. I think she had recently absorbed the strength of the ice benders. The straw hat crew is in a real pinch. Usopp comes out of nowhere, on fire and heavily injured, running toward a pier. This is super impressive, because there's no way he should be able to even move given the extent of his injuries. Chopper did something very similar. With the two of them here, the straw hats have a much better chance to beat the sorceress, so they celebrate with a feast. They're on their ship, and I clearly see Zoro lying down, Luffy to his left, and Usopp to his right. Nami is sitting above them. Usopp is ripped, and is eating a sweet potato and chicken mixture. Nami says he's picked up the personality of someone he met on his journey, and he says maybe, giving off a super cool and mature vibe in doing so.

    6. Dreaming About Lucid Dreaming: An Underwater Game

      by , 08-11-2014 at 03:12 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I was at Disney World on my honeymoon, but I wasn't with Dallas, I was with Jake, an ex. We were in this building called DisneyQuest that was not like the real one at all. We were waiting in a crowded waiting area with a long, high top table, and probably other tables as well. Jake and I were sitting at the high top table. Many other people were as well. We were waiting to get in. Somehow, I got in first, and he had to continue to wait. He didn't seem to mind.

      I was then inside. There was this thing you could do in there, some kind of quest (quest was in the name of the activity), where you jumped into this huge underwater area/maze. There were lots of items you could pick up in there, but you could only keep them if you brought them back up before you woke up from your lucid dream. So basically, you were down there lucid dreaming with many other people, racing to get items that you wanted to keep.

      I was then standing in a small cave-like square room with a square hole cut out of the stone floor that had water in it. It was an entrance to the lucid maze. At first, I was hesitant to go down there because I was scared of running out of air. I then "remembered" (again with the "remembering") that there were air pockets I could always swim up to if I needed to; apparently, this is something I had done before. I gathered my courage and was going to dive in, but ended up jumping in feet first instead.

      I was then swimming down underneath the water. There were all these open treasure chest-type things with items in them, and all kinds of different ways you could go. The atmosphere was a bit dark, but not so much so that you would have trouble seeing anything. I was looking for a specific book. It was something I had ordered and forgotten to pick up, so I figured I'd get it here. Many other people were swimming about as well grabbing items. It was like a race/game. I kept swimming and finding more places where items were. One area on the edge looked like an old, broken down temple entrance. It had some chests with items outside of it.


      I was then woken up by my husband's alarm. He put it on snooze. I went back to sleep into the same dream.

      I was still swimming underwater, but it was after everyone had left. The item chests were all empty. It seemed like it was after hours.


      Again, the alarm went off. Woke up, went back to sleep in the same dream.

      I was then going into the waiting area to see if Jake had gotten in yet. I approached him, but did not go too close. He was still sitting at the table. His back was turned to me, and he was drinking a red beverage out of a long, tube-like glass. I figured it was an alcoholic beverage. I decided to leave him be.

      I then was back under the water. The items had been refilled, and more people were swimming about. I kept thinking about my body being asleep up in the cave room with the entrance I started in, and how I'd have to start all over from there, empty handed, if I woke up. I had a lot of items, and it was hard to carry them all. I needed some sort of container for them. I noticed that people had used containers to carry their things if they had a lot. As I was grabbing for an item in a chest, a lady and her small son swam by. The lady was talking to the son about an item that he wanted.

      I was then thinking about the book that I wanted to grab. I thought about how it looked. The cover had a Mii looking character dressed in a funny outfit from Tomodachi Life. I then figured I did not need to grab it, because the hotel had delivered it to my room.

      I then had the feeling that I was going to wake up,
      and I did. To my husband's alarm. Again. Went back to sleep after he turned it off. Same dream.

      I was then going to get Jake so we could leave. I went into the waiting area. We were then in a cab, getting taken back to our hotel. The cab driver was a white middle-aged male. He was talking to us, but I wasn't really listening. I was thinking about all the other parks, but I wanted to continue what I was doing at DisneyQuest. I then looked over at Jake, and he had his dick out. He was playing with it. I was really hoping that the cab driver wouldn't turn around and see, because he'd kick us out. He was slapping it on his stomach, and it was making a wet slap noise. I was afraid he was going to start jacking off. I felt embarrassed, but at the same time, compassionate for him; I knew he had a problem. I just didn't want the cab driver to notice.

      We were then standing up somewhere outside, and he was talking to I think the cab driver. He had on these short brown cargo shorts, and you could clearly see his hard-on bulging beneath them. He turned to the side, and it was so obvious from that angle. At least he was wearing pants now.

      I then started to think that this situation was not right somehow. Wasn't I married to Dallas, not Jake? I'm so happy with Dallas, I want to be with him, not Jake.


      The final alarm then woke me up, and I was awake for good.

      ~

      I thought that this was a very interesting concept for a dream. I wouldn't say I was lucid or semi-lucid for any of it, but it was a strange state to be dreaming that I was lucid dreaming within a dream. I also liked how towards the very end of the dream, I noticed things weren't right. Of course, that happened right before my husband's alarm went off for the final time. That would have definitely been my lucid trigger. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this dream.
    7. Back to the Shack

      by , 08-11-2014 at 02:47 PM
      Note that although this was my first time intentionally going to bed for the night, it sort of counts as a WBTB. I ended up falling asleep on the living room couch in the late afternoon since I never slept the night before and then woke up at night some five hours later. After that I ended up staying up for a few hours to do things online, and then went to bed for real.

      I was back at a new college which in some small ways seemed to double as a mall, and I was just trying to get to all of my classes on time for the first day. I'm pretty sure I checked out at least one regular class before this, like an English or Math class or something, but the first thing that I can vividly recall is going to the first of my two classes that I had with D, my partner. I was just excited to be going to school with her, so I hurried up to meet her for that class.

      Before we found the entrance, which was actually hidden pretty well and involved getting through a mild obstacle course, Godric from True Blood showed up to join us, claiming that he was in the same class as well. However, while D helped me up to the class entrance after she made it, neither of us thought to do the same for Godric until after we had already gone in and passed the point of no return (I guess). However, he did show up maybe a few minutes after that on his own.

      When we first walked in, what we found was very odd for a classroom setup.... All we could see all around us were doors leading to what appeared to be bunks, just all rooms with two beds each and pictures in frames near each of them. There was also a bigger room with just one bed, but by the time I saw that one D had already claimed it and was setting up all of her belongings that she just suddenly had on her. I just continued to wander through all of the rooms until I noticed something: the pictures by the beds were actually of important people in the lives of people who were to be assigned to each room. After seeing the one clearly meant for D, I went back to tell her and saw that the ones in the big room were of people from my life instead. I don't recall who I saw in D's pictures, but upon waking up I realized that the people in mine were just a few lesser characters from Orange is the New Black.

      Once I figured out the room setup, for whatever reason I was suddenly struck with the feeling that I was supposed to be given the "master" room because they wanted me to lead some kind of project, and everyone else in these individual bunks were supposed to be my workers that were going to help me. I walked out of that room and back down the hall to a new area that I'm not entirely sure I had noticed before, or if it had even existed. There seemed to be some construction going on back there with employees from the college just tidying everything up to be ready for arrival. I didn't see what they were working on at first, until I turned back around to the entrance and saw what was just beside it behind me. Potted cannabis plants grew almost as tall as the ceiling, and that's when I knew... they wanted me to run a grow up. Figures they would do this, they don't really care about our educations.

      I woke up briefly after this, and I'm not sure what time it was but it was dark outside so I just ended up falling back asleep. The same dream appeared to continue just shortly after it left off, so I'm including it in this same entry.

      I want to say I went to another totally normal English or Math type class again after I left the grow op area (which seems to have resolved itself somehow), but again it is hard for me to say. The next thing that I can remember is going to my other class that I had with D, hoping that it was going to be a bit more normal. I found the right room and walked in, this time getting there alone and being the first one to arrive. It seemed to be just a regular classroom with one long table and a couple of desks, so I was confident that it would be more like a normal setup.

      I vaguely recall that when I had first showed up there was some really annoying person following me, a girl I think. I was worried that when I came in she would follow me in here as well, so I had hurried to lock the door. The regular lock on the door didn't actually work no matter which way I turned it (of course), but luckily there was an extra latch above it that did the trick. When D showed up eventually I still saw this person waiting out in the hallway too, so I made sure she only opened the door slightly and hurried inside so that we could lock it fully again.

      I was ready to spend some fun quality time alone with D for a little while and every day (considering that it's just a college class), but we were rudely interrupted by some group of students who just needed to come in for some reason. I don't really remember what their reason was anymore, but D was sympathetic to them. They came in to sit down and figure out whatever issue it was that they were working on, but at the same time I felt like their chat was very lighthearted and it seemed more like they came here just to not have to deal with that for a while, rather than to figure out a solution to it. Unfortunately, they never really showed any sign of leaving, so finally I regretfully just had to leave the class without getting to share much time with D.

      I walked just a little bit further down the hall to my next and possibly last class, regularly checking my printed out schedule to make sure that I was heading to the right room. Now that I think about it, the room number probably kept changing as it was quite confusing.... If only I had been more observant. Anyway though, I was excited for it because this class was actually supposed to be a double-blocked class entirely about the band Weezer, who I really like. I ended up waiting outside the door with a crowd of people standing there only to see the door open and find out that the class was being taught by Weezer themselves. I was pumped, and they even made a comment about how part of teaching this class was related to promoting their new album, which one person interjected by saying it sucks (even though it's not out yet), making the whole thing super awkward for a moment.

      They all continued to talk about the class and I continued to be really enthusiastic for it except for me now acute hatred of that one guy who had spoken out, but unfortunately I never got to see what the class was like as I woke up before that whole exchange had ended.

      If only real school was as exciting as it is in my dreams....

    8. Vacation, Frag Factory

      by , 08-11-2014 at 01:54 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I am on vacation with my family on this tropical island. We have also brought along another teenager who looks alot like me. I can recall us staying in this cabin on the beach that from the outside looks like a straw hut, but on the inside it is this fully furnished, multi story condo complex with room for everyone.
      The other me is on his computer, and my mom is trying to convince him to go outside and have fun on the beach.
      ...
      I am on the beach. I see somebody who is an artist with all these drawings around them. One of the drawings almost blows into the water and I catch it. I then ask some elderly dream characters if they would please return it to the artist.
      ...
      A storm starts to roll in. I go back to the cabin. For some reason I feel like this has happened before and that we should leave the island because the storm is going to get very bad.


      I wake up. I hear some kind of musical beat as I fall back asleep. I am sitting in a dark room. There is a tray of wet packed sand in it. The sand is grey on top, and just beneath that there is a layer of blue-green sand. I run my hand through it and break the layer of grey sand.

      I am designing buildings in and placing them in a city. I lose control of the buildings and random structures start developing. It feels like I am playing Simcity.

      I am in a meadow environment. There are some trees in front of me. Someone is standing there, too blurry to make out. They tell me to remember the phrase 'Arrow, Arrow, Arrow!'

      I am high above earth's surface in space, 'standing' so that my feet are still facing earth. As if I am on a glass platform above earth. I can feel that something is above me. Can't tell what. I look down at earth and am all but hypnotized by the patterns present in the clouds and landforms.
    9. Some fragments and one more Riff...

      by , 08-11-2014 at 11:05 AM (4th DJ-Attempt)
      .../I'm attending an open air metal festival organized by a friend of mine. It's the last participant band and I see many attenders going up to the hills during the pause. Apparently the show is taking place out of the city. There's no lights out of the place. Lot of people seem to be drunk or high. I don't care. I'm hearing a riff in the background which seems to be very familiar although I cannot distinguish which one is it/...

      * Woke up with the riff in my head and I realize I've heard it before but just in dreams. I hum it into my voice recorder and I hope I won't forget about it. It has keyboards but I don't know how I'm going to record that because I sold mine long ago.


      .../I want to connect my deck to the equipment because I want to record the show but I don't find proper cables, mine are are tangled. I think I could use my voice recorder, but perhaps the signal output could be too much for it. I go on trying to put in order the mess up in my hands. I see a couple of guys using my deck to make a sound test or something like that. I think it's great to have my deck used for the concert. I talk something with them/...

      .../I'm watching a documentary of a black metal show boycotted by punk-rockers, some of them get on the stage and try to pull the microphone off the singer's hands who has his face characteristically painted and hardly tries to keep the pole in his hands. After that, I turn to see the opposite happening at a punk show where some black metal fans are doing the same but with some flags painted with spray, hanging on the sides of the hall. They hang themselves to pull those things down and move along a line that holds all the flags, it looks they are having fun doing it and I follow one of them until all the flags are on the floor.
      At one side, next to the gate, I see a TV playing the trailer of the documentary with Ozzy Osbourne's "Ultimate Sin" playing in the background. Then I see him shaking hands with Madonna and giving her a classic long arm bracer. Then a bride gets out from a plane, she's wearing a very hot transparent tulle wedding dress. She holds a baby on her arms while greeting some public that apparently went to see her. She seems to be a famous Hollywood star, and it looks like it's related to the Heavy Metal scene because of the context/...

      .../I get to the tribe, the cabins have no front wall and they look like market stands, selling clothing. I see some jeans when I hear a voice telling something about Curt Cobain related to the mark of the jeans. I think it's sort of company that earns lot of money by selling cheap things although hiding its real brand. I see the different logos in the jeans, although according to the documentary, its the same producer.
      Then I see a kid at the shore of a river in the middle of the jungle. It looks like the Amazonas and the kid is lying on the floor of the entrance of his cabin. The water sometimes gets into the house taking the kid out of it. I'm trying to take a picture of it and post it telling something about the war and its consequences although there's no war around, I want to start a scam too/...

      * It's nice to see this jungle again because of it's related to some epic dreams...
    10. Running-Flying

      by , 08-11-2014 at 09:42 AM
      I dreamed of being close to some kind of podium in my village(It is nonexistent in real world), there was one musician performing RMB: Touch the sky. I start to dance on steps and then i started to run away. I felt strong wind, so fast I ran, but it seemed to me that it is not so fast. Then I forgot to move my feet once and I didn't fall... Then I stopped to use my feet and glided through streets of my village.
      I got close to shop. I remembered I wanted to do shoppings for my family. I couldn't stop my gliding, even putting my feet on tarmac didn't make much difference. I turned my back in direction of my gliding and concentrated on stopping. It took me maybe 100m to stop. I went into shop. There were many people inside, I couldn't go inside. I waited. I saw some kind of hamster jumping in between racks in the shop... Then I woke up.

      Now in real world:
      Half an hour I returned from shop- It was closed. There is written that it is sanitation day. It will be opened tomorrow. It is strange, normally wednesday is a sanitation day.

      by , 08-11-2014 at 09:21 AM
      02:08 bedtime

      08:14

      + pool/billiards stadium, tables different shapes and sizes, balls large

      + sliding into a locker room to find the tv schedule very threatening man confronts me, Kids trying to see in some room, they can't come down the stairway there's a locked gate door there

      +(f) walking along a ledge

      + epic nld (previously secret ) (wrote all this without consulting my notes )

      fight:
      I was visualizing flying while trying to WILD/sleep, and I entered a dream flying. I sensed that an opponent was flying towards me and I summed a force field umbrella shield to occupy the space in front of me.

      I'm then on the ground, and facing two opponents about 15 feet away. I raise my wrists and out of each one a thin dark purple laser beam fires to hit each one opponent. They're slightly moving and I track each one independently, maintaining the fire on them. Then I advance into their position and see a female DC, and engage in some caveman.

      trees/theater:
      I'm in a large indoor area opening on to a small body of water, across the water is a large stand of tall trees (like Eucalyptus) bright in the sun against a blue blue sky, it is beautiful, I want to capture the moment on my camera, I move forwards to the edge of the water because there's an overhanging ceiling and I want to get an unobscured view of the trees. I'm squatting down for the picture and I see that the light has changed and the trees are now not so bright, like they're in shade. Then I see that some trees are now animated momuments with heads on the top of historical figures like America's founding fathers. These columns are growing/shrinking and swaying like trees in the wind. I hear some guy come up behind me to take a picture I hear him say it's a great view, I think he's too late, the light has changed. I get up to leave, a troupe of young actors has entered the area, lots of people, I walk up a stairway leaving the area past a young Asian male actor who's enthusiastically reciting some lines.

      I'm now indoors, heading down a stairway. Off to the side of the stairway are a few rows about 3-4 seats wide of theater seating. A young woman is seated in one seat next to the stairway, I stop to talk to her. I place my right foot (wearing a shoe) onto the seat back where she's sitting, think that's a bit rude, move it away from her towards the edge of the back of the seat, decide that's still rude and take it away entirely, she reaches up and brushes off the dust from my shoe from the edge of the back of the seat. She starts soliciting me for something, giving me a pitch (something to do with the theater? don't remember), as soon as I figure this out I get antsy and say "no thanks" and continue down the stairs.

      My way on the stairs is blocked by a large crowd, I need to go down the final flight of steps to the room below, but there's no way. Down below a woman is asking the crowd what kind of drinks she should order. I move to the right of the crowd, there is no banister at the edge of the upper floor, move back to the crowd on the stairs, there's no way through, step to the right and just jump/float down (about 12 feet) to the floor below, some guy is concerned I've fallen but I wave him off, "I do that all the time" I say/think or something similar.

      planetarium:
      I'm in a very large round room with a tall ceiling, I'm looking at some sort of science exhibit. A show begins on a curved screen that runs the circumference/perimeter of the room's wall right below the ceiling. The screen is opening wider, wider, reaching 180 degrees wide perhaps, and the show begins. There are individual chairs in the center floor area, haphazardly arranged, I sit to watch the show a bit. I see some stuff on the screen and am entranced, some of it is patterns in 3D. I ball comes flying through the air right to me and I try to catch it with my arms against my chest but I miss and it bounces off to my left on the floor

      hieroglyphs / artwork:
      I'm observing a fascinating drawing that is made of letters and symbols. I start making a copy of the original because I want to save it for later (when I wake up? almost lucid). I VERY CLEARLY see the letters and symbols and copy the first few, the original is on the left and my copy is on the right.

      I'm copying a work of art consisting of chains and spiked balls (like the medieval ball and chain weapon) I draw about 10 spiked balls and then start filling in the chains.

    12. Bobby Carlyle is a crook

      by , 08-11-2014 at 08:15 AM (Lucid Lucy's Dream Explorations)
      Non-lucid dream, but still pretty.. ..interesting. Prelude: I've had a crush on Robert Carlyle since I was about 13 (he would have been 38 at the time) and have only recently admitted publicly that I do.

      [Dream]
      I'm in a supermarket, working as a cashier. Suddenly Robert Carlyle is brought in, in handcuffs, as he had stolen something in another store. They didn't have any room to keep him, so he was sat down right next to me. We exchanged a few looks, but he was really pissed off. I just continued my work.

      -time gap-

      My work day ends and I'm told to escort Robert to prison, which I reluctantly do. Out of freaking nowhere a massive vampier vs humans fight breaks out in the prison, and I'm fighting alongside Sam Winchester (one of the main characters in "Supernatural"). The vampires have found a way to chemically freeze humans (you know, for conservation) and threaten to freeze everyone. (Funfact: they call it Vitrification) Sam and some other guy sacrifice themselves to be frozen so the rest of us have a fighting chance.

      The floor in front of them turns to ice, they step on it and freeze from their shoes up to their hair. It looks incredibly painful, but we have to fight the vampires so I sneak my way up to the balcony from which the vampires were looking on. The entire floor below is now ice and I start pushing them off of the balcony and onto the frozen floor, where they freeze just like the humans.

      Victorious, I stand up, turn around, and there is Robert Carlyle again, looking at me with sadness in his eyes. It hits me like a brick: he's a vampire too. A new one, I'd say, as the top of his head is missing (remember that scene at the end of KILL BILL? The one where O-ren Ishii is standing there with the very top of her head chopped off? Yeah, that's how Bobby looked.). I look back at him and shake my head. "You really need to get your head checked." I tell him. He half-smiles but it disappears soon as we both know what he has to do now..

      [end dream]

      Luckily for me, nothing happened next, but that feeling of understanding and sadness is still with me.
      In case anyone didn't grasp it, he was supposed to kill me at the end, as I was the only remaining non-vampire. As I lay awake afterwards, I did imagine that there was another way: conversion. If he had me converted into a vampire, we both could have lived. But in the dream, it didn't occur to either of us, apparently.

    13. Three lucid dreams, got around to doing TotM's! :D

      by , 08-11-2014 at 07:28 AM
      It was a third-person viewing of a guy with some kind of silver medallion exploring these Stonehenge-like ruins for something like the Key to Lucidity I think. There was a compass which pointed in different directions depending on where in the ruin you were.
      I was sitting with my siblings in a room and became lucid. I decided to make the lucid last and for a while just sit on the floor in a meditative position and just be aware and be lucid. So I did. My mum came in with a basket of laundry and started talking a lot about nothing much, as she always does, and I just imagined her lips shutting to make her shut up. It didn't seem to be working very well, but then she turned to me and asked, "Are you trying to shut me up?" I nodded. She smiled and walked away. I sat on the floor another half a minute or so, just contemplating the dream and lucidity.
      Then I decided I would go have sex, so I got up and went outside to give into my dream libido.
      Just then, the dream ended.

      I woke up. "Crap, the Tasks of the Month!" I thought, and went back to sleep.

      I appeared in my room, it was dark. I was unsure first whether it was a dream, in fact I thought it wasn't, but the self-awareness I had been doing all day suggested otherwise when I felt it in the dream. The cupboards were open for some reason, so I tried to telekinetically close a window by forcing it shut with my will, which didn't work. Then I tried a much lighter approach, just waving my hand while having the intention in my mind of the window closing, and it worked a dream (pun intended). I then did the same with all the cupboards, and opened the door onto the corridor in the same way.
      I went into the living room and because it was night time, I quickly pushed the Moon out of the way and pushed the Sun up. The Sun was small and square like in Minecraft, but it provided enough light for it to feel like a warm summer's sunny day. Once this was done, I went outside, paying attention to my surroundings and stabilizing the dream as I went. Some people walked past my house; I remembered the foreign word basic task of the month and I started running towards them shouting, "Hey! Hey you!" they turned around and walked up to the gate to my garden.
      "Give me a word in a foreign language!", I said, hoping I'd remember once they did, and hoping they won't turn out to be unhelpful DC's.They were what looked like a group of students - I think there were four, a girl, two guys of average height and one tall guy, standing at the back. The tall guy spoke in a friendly tone:
      "Rystkievin". At least I'm pretty sure it was Rystkievin, I made an effort to remember it. I repeated it to be sure, and he did also, nodding. The "vin" part was pronounced in the French way of pronouncing "vin".
      "What does it mean?", I asked.
      "Everyone has a right to fair play.", he said. A DC that actually talked sense. Wow. I can actually imagine how there would be a foreign word or expression to mean that kind of thing.
      I thanked the DC's and they walked away. Then I remembered the other task - rob a bank with a banana! I exited the gate and went left, and neighbouring my house was some kind of building with a couple of shops in it and some kind of Starbucks drive-thru or something. I had tried to incubate a bank to be built there in my mental map before I went to sleep, but I half-assed it so all that appeared was this building.
      I wasn't sure if there was a bank in there. Oh well, I wasn't going to be defeated. I noticed this one particular room of the building, accessible from a little outdoor corridor which was drilled into the building, in which there were heaps and stacks of banknotes. The room was shut behind a metal fence door, but I didn't have much of a problem opening it. It was a bank vault. As soon as I went in, alarms went off but I also noticed I had accomplices with me. About three other guys, all in masks and holding machine guns. I also had a machine gun, but it was a Lego one and I could only pretend to shoot from it, although it seemed that it could kill people just fine.
      There was a little table in the middle with heaps of "50" banknotes on it, and one of my accomplices pocketed most of the money. I said I'd take the remainder just in case we got split up and stuffed the notes into my pocket. At that point, some people at the door started shooting at us and we started shooting back. We killed all but about one, who had one of our guys as a hostage with a gun to his head. My guys put their hands up; I hid behind the table. Then the guy said there was another guy hidden in the ventilation shaft, a sniper ready to kill us, and he let go of our guy. At this point I stood up from cover and pretend shot a few rounds into the ventilation shaft on the wall, my men shot the last guy. We got out of there with the money and all split up. Then I was walking down the street and wanted to summon my girlfriend for a bit of fun, pleased that I had completed the TotM.
      She didn't appear however, and I woke up.

      "Rob a bank with a BANANA" I thought, annoyed at myself that I had used machine guns. I fell asleep again, desperate to rectify my mistake.

      My family and I were eating strawberries with cream in my room. There's nothing really unusual about that. But then my self-awareness kicked in; I suddenly questioned the reality I was in. But it all seemed so real. I was questioning my reality but didn't believe it to be a dream - then I did the nose pinch reality check. Sure enough, I could breathe. I couldn't believe it! It took me completely by surprise. I immediately went outside my house, repeating arithmetic calculations in my head all the while to make sure I keep my logic active in the dream and stay lucid. I also paid attention to my surroundings, stabilizing the dream. I went out of the gate to my house and turned left again, and came upon the same building again. "Rob the bank with a BANANA", I thought, and looked around. Behind me there was what looked like a massive inflatable banana lying on the floor. I grabbed it with my right hand and made a magical gesture with my left, shrinking the banana to normal size and properties - it now looked exactly like a regular banana, only I didn't think to taste it. I went into the building and went behind this counter. Behind the cashier's place I could see the entrance to the bank vault - it was like I was looking at a mini bank of some sort.
      There was no cashier. Wielding the banana, I went up to the till (which was conveniently left wide open) and pocketed a handful of notes, so technically I did steal from a bank, even though I didn't rob the vault. I turned and saw my dad, who was holding some kind of keyring thing with a button on it. He pressed it.
      "Now we will see if they respond. You better not have stolen that money."
      I pushed past him and ran out of the door. Alarms went off. He started talking about how I will never amount to much and how the best thing I ever did was join a church choir and how at that point he thought I was going to grow up into a good person but I disappointed him. Amused, but wanting to run away from the police, I went left out of the door and sprinted into the bushes. I ran through a wooded bit and came out onto an asphalt road - there was a black audi coming down it.
      It occurred to me that it was an unmarked police car, but I kept running. They turned on their lights and sirens and drove down the road in my direction. They stopped about 5 metres away from me.
      "Stay the f**k away, I have a f***ing banana!", I screamed, and I held up my banana. The policemen looked terrified.
      "S**t, another psycho bank robber!" shouted one of them.
      I turned around and kept running through a little grassy square. The dream dissolved around me and I woke up, at 6:50am, having had three lucid dreams and being unable to go back to sleep because I managed to complete two TotMs and had three lucids before it was even anywhere close to my usual wake up time.

      lucid , task of the month
    14. Hospital. ★★★★☆

      by , 08-11-2014 at 05:54 AM (Zödra)
      I wake up. The baby is crying. My wife goes and grabs both our kids. The boy that has not been born yet is like 4 years old, but my one year old daughter is still one year old. Wife leaves me to take care of the boy and I have no idea what to do. He seem to have a plastic mask over his head. I ask her about it and she gets kind of frustrated with me for mentioning it. I take it off, and it seems to be really red under. Something seems to be wrong with his skin. I wake up.
      That was a weird dream. I decide that I was almost lucid and doing a continuation incubation, I should be lucid in a second. I slide back to sleep, and I am back in the room. My wife asks me to get the boy again, and I get lucid. I step out of my room and walk around the house. My wife asks me what I am doing, and I tell her to not worry about it. I look around the room and decide to stabilize in an old way. I start touching some things, and it gets crazy vivid for a seconds, but I continue and I lose the dream.
      Generally I just do a quick stabilize and leave it be, but that dream I forgot to slow down, and I went back to old habits that I got over before.

      I wake up in bed. My wife tells me that it is time to get ready to go to the hospital.
      "why?" I ask.
      "Dreamer is there, here, she is on the phone right now." My phone rings and I answer it.
      "Are you ready for the pillow fight at the hospital? It starts on the 9th floor in a twenty minutes, if you don't bring your Wii, you can't join in though." She says over the phone.
      "Oh, I have it all packed up and ready! I'll be there in a bit." My wife hands me a bag with my Wii in it. I go outside and the hospital is next door. It is still night time.

      I go inside and there is a receptionist.
      "Don't worry too much about the procedure," she says "If you have your Wii, you have nothing to worry about!" I lift it up and show it to her. "Elevators are right down the hall.

      I get in the elevator and notice that it only has a few buttons. 1, 3, 5, 7, and 15. Poop. I get out of the elevator and look for another one. The other elevators are a bit different, they look more like hatches. I choose a more normal looking one and I go inside. 2, 5, 7, 15, 21. Freaking thing! Maybe if I go up I can find a way to get there. I hit 15 as it is the obvious choice. Someone stops the elevator and steps in.
      "Going to 15?" I ask.
      She looks at me like I just asked the most retarded question ever. The door closes and we have an awkward ride up. She steps out first and I follow right after. She is no where to be seen. My phone rings, it is my wife.
      "Everything going alright?" She asks.
      "Yeah... I can't get to the right floor. Do you know where the stairs are at?"
      "No stairs there, I thought you figured out the elevators before?"
      "I must have forgot."
      "Give Dreamer a call and see if she can guide you there."
      "Thanks! I'll do that." I hang up and dreamer is calling me.

      "Where are you?" She says, she sounds out of breath "We had to start without you!"
      "I'll be there in a minute, what is the fastest way?"
      "Are you in the lobby? I only know how to get there from there."
      "No! I'll go back there."
      I hang up and go back into the elevator. I get a text saying to get into the most hatch-like one.
      I get to the main floor and I see two that look very much like hatches. One has an air lock and the other doesn't. I decide on the one without the airlock, but still has a spinny handle thing. When I get in, there are no buttons. I spin it closed and then open. I am on the fifteenth floor again. I look outside and see the sunrise. Guess I missed the awesome fight. Will have to go back for the procedure some other time. :/

    15. Just a list of my dreams that are important and i remember.

      by , 08-11-2014 at 05:33 AM
      MY DREAMS

      This one dream I was in my house and it was dark, I couldn't find my father or sister. I believe in ghost and this one was pulling down the energy in the house. it was the cause of the darkness and evil feeling. *side note* (I was told that if i wanted a ghost to leave me alone all I needed to do was tell it to leave me alone.) I go down my hall way into my father's room and I could sense that the evil ghost was near by and I went to my dad's bath room and I got to look in but than I was moved back (not like by the ghost but like if my dream was lagging and I moved back like I never had gotten to look in the bathroom in the first place). Than my father appeared and he had this dead evil look on his face and he was staring at me. I could tell the ghost was inside of him so normally I would be terrified and I was but than I wanted to fight it off and the dream became semi lucid and I was able to fight back and scream go away but than the dream ended.


      I had a dream about me trying to graduate and my family didn't want to show up nor did I really attend my graduation. (*REAL LIFE* I had already graduated in real life and my dad wasn't able to make it but my mother attended). It was the middle of graduation and I was at my house trying to get my family to go but they wouldn't and my father was there and he wasn't going to go and I reminded him that he didn't attend my REAL LIFE graduation in the dream (don't know why I was graduating twice). He gave me this face of total sorrow and the face creped me out, I could feel that he felt bad about not being able to attend. than I thought he was going to commit suicide (that's also a real life thought). Finally it finished with me going to graduation and my mom and sister being angry at me and trying to chase me down for some unknown reason.


      SO last night I was dreaming and I woke up and went straight back to be as I normally do all night long (I don't sleep well). And the dream went pitch black but I could feel but see myself asleep in third person, like anything that was happening I could feel and it would switch from first to third person a lot. Finally I could FEEL my body being weightless and I knew it was a lucid dream but I have never had a lucid dream like this, normally they are dreams that turn lucid. Anyways

      I would feel myself becoming weightless and I do mean FEEL, it is indescribable. than I relax and try to go further into the lucid dreaming and I tell myself to open my eyes because I want to see around my room but when I tried to open my eyes it was extremely hard and I have nightmares a lot and they become lucid EVERY TIME and I get out of them by opening my eyes and waking up.

      But this time when I opened my eyes I saw my bedroom wall partly (because it was extremely hard to open them). I saw like pink and white shiny things on the wall they reminded me of like computer processers but pink. And I was trying to lay on my back but my eyes were like rolling in the back of my head and my mouth opened and I could feel myself breathing and I got scared so I stopped.




      JUST A DETAIL OF SOME OF MY DREAMS

      I can not for my life run or punch people in my dreams! The decisions are semi lucid. I have the want and thought to run and punch but in the dream it is all slow-mow. when I get in a fight with someone I try to punch them and im extremely slow and I get the crap beat out of me.

      When im trying to run away, its like there is a small amount of gravity and I cant really run, it is more of like I am really trying to get away but I take forever to move my legs and when they strike the ground I don't move very much, if anywhere
