    1. 7-6-14 - High School Musical (Gone Wrong)

      by , 06-07-2014 at 02:42 AM
      I was in high school but it was built like a prison.
      I attended some lessons and stuff, going to class but we had cells in one wing of the school. I was running to get to my cell so that I could grab some PS3 games to give to this younger kid who had a way of sneaking into the solitary confinement wing, so he could smuggle them to my mate, who was in there at the moment.
      I had to quickly run into this basement where there was all these old doors and spiderwebs because for some reason the game disc I thought was in the cover I gave to the smuggler was actually down here. I ran to find it and when I did I ran to bring it to the smuggler before it was too late. He wasn't very pleased that I could get him busted by behaving so recklessly.
      I then went to the gymnasium, and I met some people there who were doing a dance class and realised that I was actually a part of it and I knew the moves. We had to line up in some order, I couldn't actually divine how the order was chosen but somehow I just knew where to stand. I then turned around and saw that there was a whole crowd of people sitting there watching us and this was actually a performance! The music started and we had to start dancing, I absolutely sucked. I knew the dance moves because I could remember learning them, what I couldn't remember was the actual routine itself, I had to try and imitate the girl next to me, who it seemed was in the same boat as me.
      we had a quick break for some kind of intermission and we sat down cross legged on the ground facing each other and
      she looked at me and stated, "I don't know the moves properly."
      I said "It's okay, I know the moves, I don't know the order they go in though. You're doing better than I am."
      Her beautiful eyes that were previously on the cusp of tears brightened a bit at that and she gave me a little smile, I gave her a small smile in return, before looking away.
      Suddenly there was a big commotion and there was car crashes and explosions all around and police were running through the place.
      I grabbed the girl by the arm and I ushered her over to this wall and we sat against it out of the way of the drama, our backs against the red bricks.
      She turned to me then and asked a question, "Is it true that you got 15 and 4?"
      "Yeah," I responded, "it isn't what you know, it's who you know and how good a deal you can get." (please note, I don't know what this actually is)
      I then spotted a person that I knew in the dream, but not in RL, get hit by a car. I looked again and there he was standing in the middle of the road, he was alright. Until a car hit him, the same exact car I had already seen hit him. I saw a lady run around some cars and run into four police officers who then proceeded to bash her. Then I saw it actually happen and I realised that I was seeing a little bit into the future. I could probably change it, I thought. I then had a vision of the girl I was sitting with getting killed by the largest man I have ever seen in my life, he would have been at least 7 foot tall and he was so muscly.
      I turned to the girl beside me, who I had by now realised was an old partner, even though she didn't resemble her at all, I knew that it was her because I knew her eyes, and said "I want you to go and stand over there at the end of the wall and whatever happens don't come back this way and don't look back.
      I knew that the man was going to come this way and then look for her. I knew that it wasn't going to end well for her, if he found her. I saw him coming and I told her very forcefully to go. She looked a bit upset and scared that I had spoken to her in such a way and it tore me apart inside to do so.
      I turned to face the direction the giant was coming from and there he was right in front of me. He tried to shuffle me aside but I refused to move and then he tried to push me but I turned with it and swung a leaping right hook at him connecting with his jaw. He then turned to look at me, he had a murderous look in his eyes. I knew then that I was going to die, I knew that I had saved the girl though.
      The man mountain toyed with me, he threw me around like a rag doll and I was broken and lying on the floor when I saw her again she had decided to peek around the corner and see what was happening. I gave her a smile with what was left of my wrecked visage and she cried. I looked a the big man who had picked me up and was readying himself for the coup de grace, he had a vicious sneer and I poked him right in the eye and he dropped me and stumbled away a little bit, screaming in pain.
      My broken body hit the floor and a jolt of pain almost drew me into unconsciousness, I fought to stay awake. I saw my old partner run over and she asked me why I didn't run with her.
      "Because he was going to kill us both, I saw that there was no other way of keeping you safe, if we ran together he would have caught us, so I thought it safer to distract him while you ran away." She cried, the tears flowing unchecked down her cheeks. I then whispered, my strength failing, "You had better go, I am going to die tonight. Please, don't let it be for nothing, run away."
      She didn't want to believe it but I am sure that she knew it was true because the next time I told her to run she gave me one last kiss and turned to flee. I watched her back as it got smaller and smaller as it got further away from me.
      I was suddenly grabbed and hoisted into the air. The giant had returned and he was irate. His eye, where I had recently decided to place my finger, was bloodshot. He then said "You're going to be famous, all over the news tonight, little man."
      He then placed one of his giant hands on the side of my head, it was turned in the direction of my receding ex partner, so I saw her one last time as she glanced back. I then felt a rush of momentum as the brick wall quickly approached my head with the intention of dashing my brains against it's hard stone and mortar. I smiled as I saw her round the corner at the end of the wall because I knew now that she would be safe, that was when my head met the wall and I woke up.

      -Working out at velocity except i'm a trainer. There's one other trainer, and I think his name is Brandon. He asks me how I'm doing or something, and I say something really awkward. He's black, bald, got a baller goatee, red shirt, black shorts, baller nike shoes. There are a bunch of kids, particularly one fat kid who i'm trying to really motivate. There's also-one kid who's a little pudgy but the trainer says he has a lot of potential. The kids line up to do some sprints, but we're all suddenly underneath this boardwalk on a beach. (I also have some memory of actually walking out of the training facility). The potential kid starts droppin profanity like nobody's business, and I'm like you can't say those words at your age--that's just unseemly. He says nah man, I'm 10. I'm like :O

      I eventually get into a car with some of the other trainers, one of whom is my old RA, Cro-Cro, and one of his friends, Dum-Dum. There's one other guy, but idk who he was. Dum-Dum is driving in the middle (there's three seats up in the front). I think it's a white car with brown seats. There's some sort of levers to Dum-Dum's right and left. I'm sitting in the back, but this is like a cop car and there's a srs partition between me and the drivers. I think they're taking me away for being too legit.

      I'm out on campus at night, in the middle of the U of dorms. There's a shower there. I've forgotten my id, and I'm like oh no but I decide to shower anyways. I walk out there, and see my id, wallet, and keys in the grass. I'm like Lady Luck pullin through for me again son, glad I walked out here to take a shower. I then begin to shower. There's curtains on every side of the square shower, and it's difficult to close them. I'm hung like a moose tho, so I don't worry about it. I hop out of the shower, butt naked, and that's all I remember.

      I'm with two other people, one is my little dream brother the other is old dream man, and we're trapped in purgatory which is this multilevel building. We have mad escaping chops tho, and we try to break out. We get to the last level, pedophilia. I walk to an exit but it turns out to be a children's bathroom and this little kid is in there brushin his teeth (black hair, white polo shirt, kahki shorts, black shoes, brown socks, toothbrush in right hand got his arm at like a right angle.) I turn around and see this guy on the stairs who sees the kid and his eyes get big. I realize he's a pedophile, so I grab him and throw him down 20 floors of stairs, and he splatters at the bottom. This leads to us getting captured. We have bed-cells with cages around them. I'm on the bottom bunk, my bro is on the top, and the old man is standing up. The jailor is reading some sort of propaganda about living in purgatory, and the old man picks up a book like "you all know what this stuff says!? This is denouncing what you're doing!" My little bro had hidden a cell phone with some rocks and seashells he had, so I'm glad the old man shouted this out to distract the guards while I told my bro to get with it son.

      Fragments (not all from tonight, some I remembered while typing):

      -Training basketball in a gym with pizza. There's one other guy. I start shooting.
      -Getting milk? groceries? Walking outside next to someone. It's night. I walk through a building. There's some sort of professor I walk by. It's after school hours so idk why he's there.
      -Fight toon link in giant jungle library. It's sunny and really pleasant. I've swung down from a vine to land on this platform with TL. It's floating on water.
      -On the road thinking about life. I'm in a truck. End up at an elementary school. Sign in. Oh no, it's the place from portal. Get attacked by lasers. Luckily there's a force field.
      -Exploring school. It's night time. In some sort of dark neighborhood. End up at a dead end. Turn around. There's a secret dorm on campus where the bus stop usually is. I'm going to live there, because no one knows about it. There's a nice bed and a kitchen.
      -I'm in a library completely naked except for a blanket wrapped around my shoulders.
      - I'm in the student union which is like an airport. I'm going up some escalators
      -Driving around in a box car back at my old apartment in RG with my brother. I start walking. We end up at our apartment. There's a party going on, but I put my stuff in my room.
      -In the back of a hallway doing something. I have a job? Something related to school. I'm waiting for a girl? I go to look for her.
      -I'm in some sort of witch's marketplace, and I hide in a coffin.
      -I'm in a japanese style house. it's filling with water. I jump across some stones to this girl in a dress. the house begins to tip and I grab onto some rocks.
      -I'm in a hall filled with fire extinguishers going off. It's dark. There might be zombies. I go backwards. Open a door to a classroom. Grab a fire extinguisher?

    3. Nonsensical missile, flying and a mountain panorama

      by , 06-06-2014 at 11:07 PM (The Erratic dreams of StaySharp)
      My last lucid was already weeks or months ago, and my last lucid with good control and details was defnitely months ago.

      It began with some kind of event, it was night and there were many people in something like a stadium. There was some kind of woman with a deo-spray goblet (WTF...) on a pedestal, closely surrounded by people. During this part of the dream I was not yet existent and only observed. The woman flew away with a missile and some dude clung to her missile with a rope. He wanted to get up to her, there was some dialog I could remember, but honestly it was pretty nonsensical stuff, like comments from the dude about the age of the woman. He eventually stopped on a clocktower or something, held the missile and let it rotate around the tower so it would speed up and he could get up to the woman. The physics here we're pretty broken.

      Eventually one of them, the dude I think, dropped down from the missile into the city. I then assumed his position, searching for the woman, but there was no one anywhere in the city. I came around a corner, it was day again, the street was empty, and there were boring buildings to both sides of the street. My mind suddenly became a lot more clear, I wanted to do a reality check, but considering the events that previously happened
      I knew that I was dreaming and no RC was necessary. Instead I focussed on stabilizing, imagined wings, flapped my arms and started to fly, immediately it was like the gravity was largely negated for me. I couldn't properly imagine the wings but kept on trying to train myself a little. When I flew up I got to see an absolutely astonishing panorama of nature with mountains and greenery, the closest mountain had a sharp stone peak at the top, but none of the mountains were covered with snow or something like that. I could see at least as good as in reality, maybe even a little better. I kept flying for many minutes until my mind got clouded a tiny little bit again. I flew into a building, probably a school, and there I met a particular weird monster with a magic wand (both from UT2k4, the so called magic wand is a different version of the shock rifle). It fired at someone and I planned to rob the weapon from it, but then I lost my focus on the dream for a moment and woke up. It somehow was similar to dropping something out of carelessness, I might've been able to continue the dream otherwise I guess.

      Unfortunately I didn't remember any of the things I wanted to do in my lucids, and so only flew around.

      A Khajit is a mythical creature in Elder scrolls



      18 April 2014

      I do not know where it was I had arrived in this strange and ambiguous world we call the dream realm but it would appear that I had arrived at the perfect time, reader. You see, in this particular region of the dream realm resided a neighborhood of upscale families and wealthy business men. Everyone had his nose up in the air but I did not seem to mind. Now there was one family in particular who stood out from all the rest. This might be an ironic statement as the family that stood out the most was very family that had put forth the most effort not to stand out the most. But it seems that their attempts at privacy backfired for it is their obvious effort of reclusion that seemed to spark everyone’s curiosity. What was this family? What were they hiding?

      Now there are some things we did know about this family. Or to be more precise were things that the neighbors knew and things that I had learned from them. For one the entire family tree from then until now was exclusively human. There was no non-human blood dripping into the family’s gene pool which, among the dream realm’s incredibly divers population, is a fact worth mentioning. The reason for this is simple: the family inbred. Like other rich families before them they believed in keeping these things within the family. It was the idea of sharing wealth with “outsiders” that really did seem to repulse the family more than the sexual vice of incest. Another thing is the simple fact that the old man who owns the family business is about to bite the dust.

      Now the family was so well sheltered that many members did not realize how famous they were. However, they would have to come out of hiding soon enough as their father had just died and now the multibillion dollar business is up for grabs. There was no standard next of kin inheritance here. It seems their father would have preferred a much more interesting alternative. There would be an auction held among the family and the business would go to the highest bidder. This is where the true nature of the family was made apparent. They came out from behind the veil of anonymity for the first time in decades and the spectators were in for a big surprise. The family was not united in the way that people once believed. Many of the family members were actually quite immature and they were fighting over one thing, the business. Another thing that surprised the denizens was that the family was no longer exclusively inbred. There were Khajit among the family members, which means that at some point in history a Khajit has managed to wriggle his way into the gene pool.

      Now the auctions took place at an amphitheater just outside of the neighborhood and it was not a silent one. I sat far right of the auctioneers along with everyone else there. They all watched in amusement laughing at the immaturity of these people. I had no feelings either way but the denizens who were watching the spectacle clearly had lost all respect for this family. After the auction the families were talking about what had happened and what was revealed. “I cannot believe they are out and about after so long.” One of them said. I asked an upper class woman why there were so many Khajit among the family members and she said, “It would appear that at some point in history a member of their family slept with a Khajit.” A Khajit. Someone slept with just one Khajit and yet now there were so many. This told me that even after this one misstep the inbreeding had not ceased. The Khajit were now just mixed in with the vice.

      In bed: 11:50 PM - 7:05 AM

      #7. I. 6:20 AM
      I am playing in a platformer type game. It is a co-op, and it is 3D. We are in a giant room/world that is bottomless with just darkness below us. I've just made a jump to a platform, but it was far so I didn't make it easily but am hanging on the side. I have to pull myself up and onto it.

      I am with a bunch of other people. We are gathering a top these buildings. There is one building top up here that is higher than the rest. That is where whatever is going on is taking place. As we are waiting for everyone to get here, I am missing. I think about some superhero that my brother has mentioned that is like a bird of sorts, but he can also use magic to create drafts of wind and such to speed himself up. The superhero almost seems to view this as cheating though and doesn't do this much. I am down at the bottom of some buildings and imagine using it and do which allows me to nearly teleport up to the top by flying super fast.
      Up towards the top, I start looking around at all of the birds flying around looking for an eagle in specific. I watch this one small group of larger birds that I think might be eagles, but it turns out to be some smaller bird. I go back to where others are gathering. I climb up this tower that is of the same height of the top of that building. I watch from there a bit. I sit some trash or something down in front of me on the tower that I was holding just so I don't have to hold for now, and I'd get it later. But it falls eventually when I am adjusting myself, and KP who is on the side of the building climbs down and picks it up before I can get down. I get mad as a result, as I would have gotten myself and didn’t want her to go through the trouble for something so dumb anyway.
      The event is that BP and TM are getting married. Lots of emails have been sent out about it, and I see them sending out a few more before it starts. I am sort of annoyed with the whole thing, mostly because in addition to them getting married, some girl that I like is also involved somehow in the wedding. I know that it’s not that she’s getting married as I would know if there was a guy, but she seems to be establishing that she is getting prepared for the future or something.

      I am with a few other people, as we are approaching a village. There is an RPG-feel to things and the village. Outside the village, we encounter a wolf who charges at us and starts attacking us. We eventually manage to get in. Later, I have exited the village from another side for some purpose, then head back having transformed into a wolf somehow. I end up wrapping around and coming to enter the village again from the side we first came in. I sneak up on the wolf that we encountered before and scare it from behind making it run away in fear with its tail between its legs. Because I am wolf, I cannot open the gate to get back inside, so I decide to jump over the fence. I use a bench that is on the outside of the fence to help me jump over.
      Back to a human form in the village, I am now going to pick up groceries for my mom. I have a self-driving car. I have already gotten the groceries which are in the car with me. I watch and wait as the car parks in the parking lot. I am very skeptical of whether it will actually be able to park successfully. After it does park, I just sit and wait in the car for awhile for some reason. The car is really large with the back of it having an interior like the size of a room in a house. At a certain point, the windows fog up a lot, and I cannot see out of it very well. Not long after that, it starts to snow and rain at the same time, the rain causing the windows to unfog as if the fogginess was on the outside. Everyone outside is surprised by the weather.

      I am hanging out in a dorm with two girls and a guy. The guy and one of the girls seems to be together, and the other girl, who looks like J, is more so my friend than the other two for me. My friend goes to the bathroom, and while I am occupied in my room with something, they start pulling together on the doorknob of the bathroom so that the girl cannot open the door to leave. I watch from my doorway as they work together pulling, the other girl climbing on the shoulders of the guy to have better leverage on the door. Eventually, they let her out, laughing.

    6. HIPPOS ÜBER ALLES // Ice Test

      by , 06-06-2014 at 07:00 PM (The Kestrel's Dreams)
      June 06, 2014





      Hippopotamuses EVERYWHERE

      I was at home, and it was getting dark but I didn't feel like going to bed. So I got into my car and started driving. I went down to Doug Ave, and headed north. When I passed the light at Patty St, the road was different from the way it is IRL. Instead of being wide and non-residential, there were houses on both sides, more like the street I live on.

      But that wasn't the weird part. At the light, I saw the first one of them: A lone Hippopotamus standing at the edge of the road. As I drove on, there were more of them, and eventually I had to stop because there were so many of them, all over the road. They were in the road and in driveways and shuffling about slowly as large beasts often do.

      I know hippos are dangerous animals, but these ones were more like kittens. They came up and sniffed the car and then left, leaving me alone for the most part.

      I was amazed, and drove back to where ever I had just come from, where some of my friends were. "Guys!" I shouted. "Guys, there are hippos ALL OVER THE PLACE down on that street. Ugh what's it called? The one with the sketchy gas station where they sell rugs and tapestries!" (I couldn't remember the name of the street for some reason, so I was trying to describe it. But I remembered it anyways) "Doug. They're on Doug Avenue! Come on!" And so a few of them get into my car (Zukin is there, she sits shotgun) and I drive them to where the hippos are.

      One of the people living in one of the houses to our right came out of their house and fed one of the hippos a carrot. She patted it on the head and then waved at us, before heading back into her house. A hippo came up to the car and playfully headbutted the passenger's side front window (Zukin's) like a kitten headbutting their human.

      It was all rather awesome.




      Bus?

      All I remember from this one is that I was on a bus with a bunch of random people.




      Ice Test
      I was taking a test of sorts; it was like an obstacle course with puzzles scattered around, which I had to solve. All the tests were on a huge ice-mountain. Everything was made of ice, and had an ethereal glow to it. I don't remember much of the actual course, but I do remember the last part. I seemed to like it so much that when I got done, I did the last part four more times, at least. It was a series of switchbacks in the ice, and we were supposed to get down as fast as we could. So I took off the jacket I had been wearing and used it as a toboggan, sliding down. The last time I went on that part, I looked over the ledge at the city below me. It was night time and the ice-mountain was lit up, and so was the city below. We were so high up that the city looked like it does from inside and airplane.

      I looked to my right, where there was a barrier of some sort made out of lots of randomly sized and placed cube-like shapes. They had about the same shape as a Companion Cube, but a little more exaggerated in terms of the corners that stick out. I wanted to see what was "out of bounds," so I started climbing around the ledge to see what was past the cubes. After about ten feet, it was getting a lot harder to climb, and I didn't want to fall, as there was no path below me, only a really really really far drop, and it looked like there wasn't anything further on, anyways. I figured that if there had been a cave or something, I would keep going, but since there wasn't, I turned back and went down the ice switchbacks again. At the bottom, the "teachers" were handing out our grades for the course. I had taken it before, and gotten 98% on it, and since I got 98% again this time, I technically failed it. You only passed if you did better than your best score so far. I didn't care though, because the 98 from the last time was good enough for anything I wanted to do with my life.

      As I was walking along another ledge at the bottom, I looked out at the city again, which was a little bit closer, but still really small-looking from high up.

      Then I woke up.

    7. Interesting Non-Lucid

      by , 06-06-2014 at 03:57 PM
      Met up with Donald Glover and he offered me $5,000 to prank my best friend, so I show up at my best friend's house. There is a small party going on with a bunch of people I know irl, and I feel like I don't belong there, but they have Chipotle so I cant resist joining in and chowing down. Food tasted real enough but I didn't really enjoy it as it was non-lucid. Before I can prank my best friend he leaves to go to his girlfriend's house, but then I meet someone at the party that looks exactly like me, and he has the same sexy voice that I do. I think to myself that it'd be awkward if I mentioned the resemblance in case he didn't see it, but I talked to him anyway. He kept saying nonsensical things but the only one I remember exactly is,

      "Two days of this party cost me the same as a semester of tuition at college." He said this with a smile as if he was really glad about it, so I said, "Damn that's a really good deal..," unsure of what he meant exactly. Then my cellphone's alarm went off and I awoke to real life.

    8. Unsatisfactory Lucid Meteor - Chicken-Kicker

      by , 06-06-2014 at 03:15 PM
      I can't quite remember a prior dream, except one snippet:

      I was in a forest, and on one side of the way stood small children in a row, all in white night-gown-like dress, and Jesus, similarly dressed and with pale halo, was walking past them and giving some sort of special blessing. I believe there were other religious leaders there as well, doing different blessings. It was a pretty picture. Like a Catholic devotional painting.

      Anyway - next dream - I was taking care of a store, while the owner wasn't there, and a friend of his turned up - a woman, seemingly under some sort of stress, and she asked me if I would let her in - the shop-owner would have promised her, she could store her stuff in the back.
      What she brought in was hilarious - a kicker-table with huge chickens as players and a washing machine on a leash - rolling in on its own.

      Later I was on the laptop with her - looking for night-clubs to go out to. We came upon a youtube video with recommendations, and suddenly I was in the video. That managed to make me lucid - and like usual - first I flew about a bit and enjoyed that. Then I came down and summoned a meteor for the TOTM. Optics were great this time - no problems whatsoever.

      Something of the size of a football came down from the sky, really fast, and I was pretty pleased with myself - looking forward to major catastrophic events with flood wave and earth crust igniting and whatnot.
      Nope - the thing bounced off the ground several times, and when I followed it - it was a simple harmless football.
      Damn.

    9. Competitive Streak

      by , 06-06-2014 at 01:06 PM
      I was in a classroom with a lot of other people and somehow instantiated a competition between me and a fellow computer scientist. A woman was standing before us and decided to ask us each a series of questions Jeopardy style (on a powerpoint appeared to be a Jeopardy board). We both agreed and the questions began:
      1. Name a program in Unix
      2. Why do people program

      For the first question I buzzed in quickly, as my partner didn't know anything, and said "grep, which is a regular expression tool to find..." or something similar. For the second question I responded, "To bring down the system, and similar." The subsequent questions had an additional property of being able to "own" whatever it is that you answered correctly. For example, the next question was of a girl dancing, and, while my opponent took a guess and failed, I decided not to answer as I was unsure of what to expect. I don't remember what the answer was (or if there was even a question), but I remember she was assigned a value of $60 for a date.

      After this I came up to a window, and tried making my old friends laugh. They were sitting on a spinning table, and I was outside peering in. In the case I remember, I had to make #9428-31 laugh, as well as #36. As they spun around, I would stare at them very seriously, and while #9428-31 maintained a straight face, #36 did not. As a result, #36 actually won and when I opened the door in between, I had to give #36 $200. As I opened the door though, a group of my friends came out, asking for an autograph. I remember writing on one of their forehead's in particular (that of #740-8421), which was incredibly pimply.

      I made it in and #9428-31 came and asked me to sign this piece of paper, which I did, as well as writing $200 on top. I realized I shouldn't have done that, since #36 won and told him this, to which he agreed. I noticed further down this room were people playing a variety of board games. Before going down that route, I explored the kitchenware and the shower, which were right next to each other and had no curtain. I washed my hands, remembering that the water each of us use was the same as in our dormitories. I turned around and walked back to where people were playing board games and saw #6412-91234 playing chess and #27-570214 playing #641-102 in a game of army men. #6412-91234 told me he was playing with the other two, but he didn't understand the game. My viewport jumped to them and became black and white, as one of their "army men" died, and simultaneously, #641-102 cut his finger with one of the pieces.

      I was driving past a neighbours house in the winter time, and stopped, looking at how her driveway was un-cleared, so I got out to shovel. The driveway is sloped, so I walked up and picked up a shovel that was lying there and shovelled a few times. The banks on the sides were about 7 feet tall so it was hard to get it up that far without snow falling back down. Then I noticed a friend with me who wanted to help, so we started looking around for something for him to use. There seemed to be multiple things lying around, at one point he grabbed what looked to be a snow scoop, but turned out to be a rocking chair and he kept looking. I saw my friend on the phone through her kitchen window and she waved. We were then in her garage looking around and suddenly a co-worker was with us as well looking for shovels. Then my co-worker said, "Well, it's time for work, we have to get going" and the dream ended.

      (I had this dream in the early hours of the morning before my alarm went off for work)

      I was looking down at this model of the start of a maze. There was this figure of some sort there, and I thought "I should try to go into that maze myself"... concentrated a bit and boom, I was lucid, in this small room. I examined my hands and was excited by how detailed they were, I could see all the lines in my palms. I then had a look around and left this small room into a larger one. I think it was like a video game, with various monster types coming at me. Shortly they changed slightly to look more like people in costumes, and I had a sword that was like a wide cardboard tube. One was very close by this time so I stuck my tube sword into it, with little effect. I then held up my hand going for some fire-like ability or something, but nothing happened. There were several all around me at this point, so I shouted "ok, I give up" and they stopped, pulled off their masks and showed that it was just people. The dream ended shortly after.

    12. 6 June: stranded in a dead spinning planet

      by , 06-06-2014 at 11:52 AM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

      I am visiting some planet colonized by humans. All is well, until some shit happens on the other side of the planet and humans explode the most powerful atomic bomb ever. The planet is not so big and the strength of the bomb is enough to alter its rotation and orbit. Where I am, we're not affected by the explosion itself, but soon after the planet starts spinning uncontrolably and we feel the most horrible sensation ever. We consider suicide, because we can't do anything at all for ourselves, we just experience this huge nausea and inability to walk or do anything at all. But luckily the spinning starts decreasing to a more manageable level. But then we have to consider the nuclear fallout. I hide in some sort of mine with facilities attached, where I meet a couple of people who live and work there. We lock ourselves in, isolating all the entries, but then we wonder what we will do, as we will need water and food. They have a stock that lasts some time, but then we have to start foraging outside. But the atmosphere no longer offers as much protection against space radiation and it is worse during the day, with the local sun's radiation at its peak. We learn this the hard way, after watching a lady die with severe burns, almost turning to ash, so we only go out at night with lots of protection.
      Some night we manage to find a communication device that works and we learn that people on Earth know what happen and are sending rescue for survivors.
      Meanwhile, some kind of space pirates flying nearby, also know about the situation and come down to the planet, to scavenge and loot. We have a close encounter with a couple of them, we don't really have anything for them but they threaten us with weapons. We manage to escape and right when we're on top of a hill and spot a rescue ship, a volcano erupts nearby, signaling the start of the planet's collapse. The rescuers takes us in and from space we can this planet wobbling in a strange infinite symbol shaped orbit and blowing up from the inside in multiple volcano eruptions.
    13. More and more dreams... [06/06/14]

      by , 06-06-2014 at 11:33 AM (My lucid comeback!)
      This morning I remembered 5 dreams, so we're getting close to my record of 6 dreams which I had a year ago. However I must say that I really don't know in which order the dreams tonight happened so they are likely not chronologically. I checked my old DJ on LD4all and there I saw that after 8 days of journalling I had the first LD so in maybe 2 days I will have one again.

      1. Techno commercial

      I was a DO floating around some docks (I think Antwerp) and I heard a radio-dubbed voice (MTV, Jim TV?) anouncing a techno party. There were two small office buildings that had a connecting piece between them on the second floor and under that connecting piece the party would be. For some reason I focused on a white plank that hung in the corner of the right building and the connecting section.


      2. The Kinsman

      I'm escorted by a guy in suit into a bunker, I enter a large concrete room with several collums for holding up the roof. Near the entrance I see several beds on the side, these are the beds recruits sleep in, infact this is the room my bed will be in. All the beds look sloppy, I walk through the center of the room and people are scattered over the room. The way you have to see this large room is like a beach, people have their own little spot where they can lay down. I see a turkish looking bedroom next to a large concrete collum. (none of the bedrooms have walls around them, it's one large room) I stop and say "Oh, you even have a turkish agent?" to the man in suit escorting me but he seemed to have vanished. I continue through the room till I reach the other side, there I see a sofa against the wall for public use. A bit to the right I see my bedroom (for some reason it looks Greece), I relax on the bed for a bit when suddenly I hear an explosion near the entrance. I jump up and hear someone shouting "IT'S AN ATTACK!" I take cover behind a collum and see an explosion in the center of the room. This dream is completly inspired by me seeing the trailer for the film: 'The Kingsman', you can see it on YouTube. And the sloppy beds are inspired by me seeing this picture on a thread here on the forum: http://www.dreamviews.com/general-lu...ns-dreams.html

      3. Stranded in Minecraft


      I'm with some people in a small rubber boat, I see them laughing like it's fun. The boats sinks till we're knee-deep in the water but one of the guys says "Don't worry I'll blow it back up again." He blew in a small hole that filled the rubber boat back with air and it started floating again. We stopped at a little Island witout trees and a cliff of about 3 meters high. We get out and stand on the edge under the cliff, a tiny gollum from Minecraft punches some of the rock and I see it break.


      4. The confusing pancake

      I'm in a building and there's some party going on, I'm talking and laughing with friends and decide to go to the kitchen. There I see another friend making pancakes, I see a bottle of red spicy sauce and make a joke saying "Hey, why not put some of that sauce on the pancakes? " I put some sauce on the counter and looked away for a second, I look back and he actually put the sauce on the pancake he was baking. I thought he was crazy, but then I teleported back to my friends I was talking with and see a man eating pancakes with eggs under it, bacon on it and the red sauce. Now it didn't look that weird anymore.


      5. Angry energy

      I'm home at the table at which I normally study, there's a lot of books on it and it looks like a mess. I hold a paper doll in my hand with a purple head. Suddenly the doll jumps out of my hand and a line of paper starts expanding out of it's purple head, it starts flying around the book leaving a trail of paper over it. I think "Oh that's handy, now everything is nicely tied together..." Then I hear my dad shouting"WHAT IS THIS MESS, GET IT OUT OF HERE!" He starts walking around swearing and shouting to the point where I feel uneasy, my mother tells him that his behaviour is unnacceptable but he keeps shouting and eventually leaves the room. Then I break down and start shouting and swearing about how he shouted at me. At first my mother understands me but as I keep shouting and swearing I notice that I can't control my shouting and that it keeps going. After some some time my mother tells me that I have to stop but I can't, something else is making me say all these things and it's very frustrating. I never actually shout or swear IRL so it felled very weird doing it so intense and for so long.

      Anyway, till next night!

    14. Anti-Theft Powder

      by , 06-06-2014 at 10:30 AM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      Somehow, I am Arnold Schwarzenegger in the prime of his body building career. Jogging down the street, a pack of vicious beasts, sort of like a cross between wild boars, and jackals, surrounds me, snarling and baring their teeth. Saliva dripping from their mouths, they intend to tear me to pieces. One of them jumps at me, I grab it by the upper jaw and my other hand on its lower jaw, and rip its face in half. The other beasts see this and run away, leaving me in peace.

      I remember that it is very important to retrieve something from a nearby store. Something that is rightfully mine, that I now have to 'steal' to recover. I go into the store, and find it. That was easy. I turn around to leave, but the staff, all magical elves, are blocking my exit, telling me to put it back. I know I'm just doing what's right here, so I ignore them and walk through a group of them. I'm too big for them to stop me, and their pulling at my arms and legs hardly slows me down at all.

      One of the elves jumps up in front of me, and sprinkles some glittery powder all over my hands and the objects I am holding. It burns a little, but not very much. The elf laughs as he hops away at they let me leave. Before I get to the exit, everything I am holding starts fading in and out of reality, eventually disappearing all together. Now I understand what that powder was for - to keep people from walking out with stuff without paying for it...
    15. North, South, East, West... No Go

      by , 06-06-2014 at 09:19 AM
      Morning of June 6, 2014. Friday.



      I need to go get something such as food and apparently some new clothes for everyone. I am living with my wife and family in Cubitis, though I am having a conflict with a few young fictional family members. There is some sort of argument between a fictional younger son regarding an apparent accidental injury (in the house?) and myself - and then a fictional younger daughter and a different fictional younger son want to go with me but I feel it is probably too dangerous outside and too far for them to walk - normally I do not dream about fictional relatives at all.

      I cannot go west, because there is a strange idea that there is “nowhere to go” beyond our house or front yard. I decide that I will go north on the train tracks to get to the store and (fictional) uptown area. Firstly, when I go out, my wife and two of my youngest real sons come out. When I go out beyond the backyard, there is a frozen-over (fictional) river prior to the embankment with the train tracks. I tell my wife not to walk on it due to it likely being thinner ice that will probably not support our weight, but I discover that it is more like a solid surface of some kind and may not be ice (or may be thicker more solid ice). More easterly, beyond the train tracks, there are mostly only barbed-wire fences, shrubs, and (as in real life in this case) farmland, so that is a “no go” zone as well. Meanwhile, an unknown neighbor (a younger married aboriginal female) at a closer fictional house (in what would otherwise be the orange grove north of “our” house) has started yelling about something I supposedly did or noise that I made - which then involves an argument with my wife and her as I continue north, making sure my youngest son stays home.

      Suddenly, it is somehow late at night. I am walking in an area in the large backyard again, but things look a bit different. A cougar is resting nearby. Interestingly, I deliberately go over and pet and stroke its head. This seems directly connected to recurring dreams in my youth where I always avoided cougars and had many dreams of going back in my house at night because of one being outside. It bites lightly at my hand and growls a few times in an apparent annoyed manner but I am not alarmed and do not see it as a threat, which seems quite unlike my typical non-lucid dreaming habits. I even lift it up for a time.

      I continue to calmly walk north, on the train tracks for a time. I end up at a larger uptown area as it seems to be around late afternoon now. (Hmmm, must be an Ed-Wood-directed dream). I have to stop when walking on a bridge, because the rest of it had collapsed and I notice parts of train cars and larger trucks in the water farther north, along with other half-submerged parts of the bridge. At that point, I am somewhat out of balance as if I need to “slide back down” from where I had reached because of some strange sort of faux vertigo that is not quite dizziness but hard to relate with words. It is some sort of strange body-wide “imbalance” where I cannot bring myself to stand.

      Eventually, as I slowly move backwards down the bridge incline with a sort of reverse crawling/undulating routine, the male owner of a bar right near the edge of the bridge seems thrilled to see me. He seems to be willing to give me a lot of free drinks and service. I ask him about the bridge and he cheerfully tells the story about how he had been driving when it collapsed, but survived. There is no way farther north, so I have south left as the final option. Another bar owner comes out of a different bar just south of the other one. He, as well, offers me free drinks and service and even adds how his is the place recommended by a rock musician (name unremembered). I have no interest in drinking or going into either bar, so I lie and tell them that I will be back soon - and then go south.

      After going back south for a few minutes, it is somehow only late morning (yup, Ed Wood must have directed this one). I go back to my house for a brief period and notice that the female’s (who had been yelling earlier) husband is sitting near a fictional back door on the east side of our house. I decide to sit down for a short time before going southerly and my pants fall down and the man starts laughing and complaining (this relates to recent associations where there is a bizarre idiotic trend of having one’s pants down around their bottom - my wife even saw this at a pizza place and his pants actually fell down to his ankles at one point). I had not been wearing blue jeans, which seems a bit odd, as that is mostly all I have ever worn in real life other than when in school or on formal occasions. I mention this fact to him but am so annoyed by his condescending attitude that I leave in a short time.

      Having gone south for a few minutes, I end up having to go into some sort of building aligned somehow with the train track route. This does not make much sense, but when I go in, I discover that there is no way out farther south and am very annoyed. It appears to be some sort of small enclosed dam or man-made waterway; a control room of some kind, the water of which rapidly flows along the east (and may be part of what was thought to be a frozen-over river earlier?) I am concerned with getting back out as soon as possible, because I sense that the water may eventually rise and fill the area (though that makes no sense as it would short out the control box contents). There is a narrow door to the west, but it does not seem to go anywhere. When I open the control box to see if I can get a door to open somewhere, a light starts flashing, which I am concerned will alert people to my apparent trespassing presence, so I probably cannot really go back north without drawing unwanted attention. I am really annoyed at this point and simply wake up, as there is really “nowhere else to go”.
