Dream 1(fragments):

I was at the park entrance and there were alot of trains.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was in some kind of FPS game. There was some weird blue outdoors area, that was pretty confusing to navigate. Some parts of the area were navigated using minecarts and there were many elevation changes and obstacles. Also i was playing coop with somebody else and he knew the area better. We were fighting some huge enemies one of which was some kind of giant blue gorilla thing.

Dream 3:

There was some story about kingdoms, i was in one kingdom and there was some other kingdom. We were trying to get spirits onto our side. One was on our side already and he looked like half humanoid, half some kind of animal, and he was a sword master. We were going through palace and searching for the others. I was talking to some people of the kingdom a few times, and at one point another spirit joined us, though can't recall how he looked other than being half humanoid, half something else as well. Then there was an elevator and up in the tower part of palace we have found another spirit he was silent and looked like half-humanoid, half-eagle. Then there was some kind of quarrel between him and sword master and they were getting into trouble while i and some kingdom people were trying to stop them being so angry at each other.
Later on, i was talking to the leader about one bunny-like spirit which was in the same room as well, also we were talking about our objective, which was to dethrone the king of the other kingdom and save spirits. That bunny-like was playing around in meanwhile.
Shortly the cutscene started and i was seeing the other kingdom, then the king room. The king was ruthless type of king and he was angry about spirits, he kept them caged and stuff and he was planning the attack on the other kingdom. He also made some dude to infect the more 'evolved' version of bunny-like spirit with some kind of virus. The spirits apparently could contact with each other through some kind of room/place, to which they could teleport at any time. I was back at the palace and there was discussion about whether we should allow them to contact each other, i didn't saw why not but someone else said that it's better not to, bunny-like spirit disappeared.
Another cutscene started, showing that spirit room and two bunny-like spirits from earlier on playing with each other around the tree in center. Then back to normal, there was talk about virus and i was trying to find way to make that spirit return. Then i was talking to somebody else and we got the whole team ready to go to battle. I went out of the palace, leading them.

A few good dreams last night. I think I'm just going to start focusing on the most important dreams.

I was outside in a park, pretty close in appearance to the same park of the last couple nights, where I had the big slacklining dream. Buttbouncing from line to line. After awhile it doesn't really matter what's underneath, since you're gonna land anyways! I think I wrote that one down. Not sure. (Edit: guess not.) I set up my slackline between these two posts. There were rodeo setups wayyy up high, with matts TAPED to the bottom of the line. Like that would help if you fall off... couple of geniuses over here. I point this out to somebody. Damn, I'm hilarious.

This is actually a college campus. All around me there are discussions of planned parenthood and pregnancy. I feel bad for these people; one girl is trying to put a positive spin on her newfound pregnancy talking to her mom. But damn, I'm not about to get into all that. It's a foreign topic for me. I do a tiny bit of slacklining. More interesting is the scenery on the top of the hill behind me. There's a little valley full of grass, where mowers come down at top speed to shear it away. There are different kinds of birds. A truck takes off and actually catches air over the top of the hill, landing on the baseball diamond and bouncing another good six feet in the air. I wonder away from my slackline, and start to hang around these people (who may be playing hackey sack) who are having the discussion on planned parenthood. I see Truman playing tennis with DaJuan and Yvonne. Sweet! Truman asks me if I want to play winner with him. Hell yeah I do, that sounds like a lot of fun. I go up to the room to try and find him, which is successful, and it IS a lot of fun. Spikes and such.

I begin to realize, and this is the whole gist of the dream, that I can do whatever I want, so long as I do it with all of myself. That's what faith comes down to. And it's been a really weird process of finding myself. I decide to go to KoC2, which was different in my dream. I'm not entirely sure how I got there chronologically. I began by watching a livestream; a collage of livestreams, rather, since this tournament was supposed to have every single setup recorded with a livestream and player cam. Amazing! There were so many different points of view that I could enter. It started off with Mango and Alex being piss drunk, and the ran into the glass of a restaurant and broke it to make their appearance. Two separate times! Mango first, then Alex. Other images from the tournament: Darrell playing on Kongo Jungle, during a game, with all his heart and soul. He was trying desperately to climb up from the edge, with his actual body, as he did it in the game. Pretty intense! I remember thinking that it might be better for him if he cooled off. Just as I thought that, Zori came up behind him and he turned around and gave her a smooch on the cheek. Heartwarming . He didn't take it that seriously after all. Also during that tournament I played a poker tournament with Arian vs two other good players. We were expected to lose. Isn't that funny? Winning and losing is an attitude to me, not necessarily dictated by skill in a particular field. Arian is supposedly good at poker. We have a shared pot; he goes in on a pair of two 5s even before we see the flop. I don't bet anything, so his 5 thousand dollars is in, but mine's not. We go through the motions and they have a pair with a higher kicker, so we lose. The crowd leaves. But wait, I still have all MY money. Oh well, fuck it. I play a few uninspired hands and then give up in despair and frustration. It was a losing battle anyways.

I start walking around the tournament. It's really hot, and there's a gigantic pool with sticky stuff on top of it, almost like it congealed into the top of a running track. I say "watch this" and I try to run across the whole thing. I make it! Sweet. Lots of tomfoolery like this. Afterwards I start walking around. I have to take a shit. (This happens so often LOL.) There's a strange public bathroom which I have to learn how it works. Folding plastic toilet compartments and everything. I try to figure out something to sit on so I can drop a load, something that isn't dirty and covered in piss. There's a condom station within the plastic apparatus, which unfolds and I rotate it like a rolodex. There are slots for tampons and other stuff too. Super strange. I keep struggling; someone shows me a way to do it. I keep trying. Then I wake up.

As I was walking around the tournament I had a chance of becoming lucid, but it felt like i actually turned it down because I didn't want to risk waking up. I'm gonna wake up earlier and earlier so this doesn't happen again, so I'm not worried about waking up.

Also another dream that came to me from early in the night: in the climax of a book or movie, I'm in a dark environment. Adam and I are trying to sneak into the core of this huge technological thing, Contact style, and he transforms into a silver liquid being. Someone tries to lay down with a black disc on their chest to fool the security camera which is looking at the center; he plans on springing up to vault the other person over the edge to their death. I can't really believe they would go to such lengths, commit such TREACHERY. Also, a brief image again of showing Bobby Scar all my 100% super hard completion Crash Bandicoot files. He ends up starting a new game of Zelda on "Master" difficulty. All these Master Extreme ++ difficulty levels again.

May 25, 2013 -- [Went to sleep at about 10:30, probably drifted away about 10:45. Phone records show I received the text message that half-woke me at 11:52, then drifted back to sleep and continued dream, actually waking around 12:05, so you could argue most of this dream actually took place on the 24th.]

I'm at the Hickory house and mom is beating up on me again [nothing like this ever happened in real life, but in dreams I have to deal with this frequently, the last couple of years ... my mom, who has been dead for 7 or 8 years, is battering me for no reason in my dreams, except that she is going crazy.] She is claiming that I have done something horrible to the cat, who has been gone for something like 15 years, now, and it is obvious she is nuts. I put up with it for a little while, but then warn her if she continues hitting me, I am going to have to fight back. When she won't stop, I hit her and throw her around just enough to make her stop hitting me.

The problem is, there are other people in the house, and I now have to try to explain things to them, so they don't think I'm a bully who beats up on women. Meanwhile, I am trying to walk out of the house, but as I make it out of the hallway and into the living room, there are two young, cute, Japanese anime-style school girls there, too young, but not dangerously so, at about 16-18, I'd guess. They are sitting there in short skirts and tight tops, school girl uniform type of things, sitting there, talking to each other. I stop to enjoy the view for a few seconds. One of them has dyed red hair and Japanese features, and has her shorts pulled aside to reveal her landing strip and slit, quite a distraction. She seems to be making out with the other girl and rubbing herself on her leg, and I really have to almost tear myself away to stop watching.

I walk out the door of the house to find myself in a sort of cross between a hotel and a shopping mall. I am meeting Dale here before he has to leave and fly home to California [Dale hasn't been here since November, don't know why all these dreams about him going back to CA the last few nights when he hasn't even been here ...]. I'm trying to explain about the situation with mom, and how she's kind of getting nuts as she gets older, but he's really running late, packing very messily, and running out the door to try and avoid missing his plane, so he isn't really listening.

I follow him out the door, calling for him to slow down, and quit moving like a giraffe on those long legs, and find him near the exit (half hotel, half theme park, now), talking to a guy he's run into that looks very familiar, but I just can't quite recognize him. [Looking back at the dream now, he looked a lot like Biff Tannen, the bully jock from the Back to the Future movies, with a hint of Truman's 'best friend' from The Truman Show thrown in.] I just realize I probably vaguely recognize him from some movie, and am about to ask him what I recognize him from, but Dale has run off again, so I have to hurry to catch up.

I find him in the parking lot, just climbing into his rental car, and I ask him, did he pack everything? Does he need anything? He tells me that his new cell phone from Publix works really, really fast, and he's really happy with it. He also tells me he would really like me to make him a copy of some sort of DVD I have a some Disney stage shows (probably stuff I filmed using his camera) and the friend he is now with (who I don't know) also says he would like a copy. He runs off, and I suddenly find myself working a shift in the J.C. Penney warehouse.

[Somewhere about here, I was half-woke by a text on my cell phone, which I assumed was probably from Dale (it was, btw), but I just drifted back to sleep and back to the dream, which may explain a little of what is to follow.]

I find myself sort of flying around, working up at the loading docks where stuff is taken off the trucks and put on conveyor belts, then dropped from about 20 feet up, and we have to catch them, sort them, and put them on pallets. (In real life this would injure people and break stuff, but in dreams, I've had several like this in the last couple of years.) Annoyingly, I am not handling the regular stuff, but damaged returns, so instead of getting a box full of items, I am getting one of this thing, one of that, and I have to sort them into boxes with like items, making far more work, and they keep sending more and more stuff on the belts, and I am getting further and further behind, but they refuse to slow down. Soon there is so much stuff that it causes the entire system to collapse, with stuff scattered all over the place, the conveyor belt falling apart around me, and a very large flat screen TV hitting the ground and cracking open.

There is a young punk manager here, and though the whole thing is his fault, he tells me he is going to place all the blame on me, and I am going to be fired for this, and I am just thinking this is so unfair, and wishing they had hidden cameras out on the floor to catch him bragging about how it was his fault, but I am going to take the blame, but I know they don't. No fair! Meanwhile, some of the broken crates that have fallen seem to be stuff of mine that I have packed up and stored, and I now find myself running around, trying to gather my stuff together, including several bits of clothes that include old security uniforms I haven't worn in years.

By now I find myself out deep in the warehouse, among the tall racks of stock, all sorted on pallets and up in the air, except the space on the ground, the lowest rows, aren't filled with pallets, but all the associates' lockers, and as I am walking along, I spot one of them that has smoke gently rising from it. Something has caught fire. I am trying to call for help, and get somebody out here before things can spread, when I spot smoke rising from another locker a couple of rows away. And another. And another. There seems to be an arsonist running around, starting fires. There are several upper level employees running around trying to put them out, but I am helping out, acting as a spotter.

As they continue, I can't help but notice the floors we're standing on are not tile, or even stone (which would make even more sense), but there is a strip of carpeting, a kind of a blue-green carpet, running the width of the aisle, and the entire length of the warehouse. As I am standing there, pointing at another burning locker, I am kind of shocked to find another associate swimming up to me in the carpet. He splashes some water up at the locker and puts out the fire, and even splashes a tiny bit at me. I am really in shock. He is swimming along like he is swimming laps, but I'm just standing on it ... nothing but carpet, to me. "How can you do that?" I ask, but he refuses to tell me, darn it!

I can't help it ... I pull out my cell phone and start to text Dale and tell him what is going on in the warehouse, and I hope I will manage to catch him before he gets on his plane. As I continue, it slowly turns from a text into an e-mail, and I now seem to be typing on my laptop, which is easier, of course. But I am still getting annoyed because, though I can type quite fast (probably about 35 or 40 words a minute when I know what I want to say, even though I don't know how to touch type), there is a girl standing there, sending texts of her own, and she is somehow typing about 10 to 20 times as fast as me, which shouldn't be possible. In retaliation, I just start mashing the keys with both hands and even my arms, sending masses of complete gibberish to Dale, before I wake up.

[And the moment I wake up, I check my cell phone and verify the text that half-woke me was, indeed from him, and immediately started texting him about the dream he almost woke me from, but since I only just woke up, half of that text was also gibberish. ]

May 25, 2013 -- Somehow I have been visiting with Carolyn S., and was somehow even there last week when one of her sons (Carson, I think) graduated from elementary school [very odd, since all of her kids are already out of high school], though because of some sort of emergency or problem, Carolyn was not able to make it. She is very disappointed about this, and feels really bad about it. So when I am out doing stuff a couple of days later, and find myself in the right place at the right time, I decide to help out. I am somewhere in California, Garden Grove or Santa Ana or somewhere I know the major streets, but not well, and I realize I am really near Carson's school, so I decide to stop by and see if, even though the graduation has already happened, if there might be any more festivities Carolyn might be able to catch, to make up for missing the graduation.

As I said, the overall area is Garden Grove or something, but when the bus drops me off at his school, it is an exact duplicate of Peter Marshall. I approach the kindergarten playground and classrooms, and there are a lot of other people wanting to speak to somebody as well, so it is fairly crowded. But as I am walking up, I realize that it is Sunday, so nobody is going to be here. [Never mind that if graduation was last week, school is over for the summer, anyway.] I comment on this, and several others realize I am correct, and start walking away. I am about to join them, when I glance back at the class rooms. Not only are there people on the playgrounds, but I can even see them in the classrooms through the windows, so even though it is Sunday, people are still here.

I walk to the office, and find myself in a big line of people. I glance around, and there are five or six people working, and I remember when I was a kid at Marshall, and how there was only Ms Gurly and one teen working in here and managing everything. I can't imagine how they need so many people, now, but figure it must be much more record keeping because computers have made it so much 'easier' these days. Anyway, a couple of the people waiting in front of me in this huge line are pushy punks, and they start shoving me around a bit, until the staff gets angry, and orders us all to get out. They head out the door in front of me, and since they are now gone, I turn around at the last second and stay. Sine there is no more trouble, they let me.

I find myself leaning against the wall next to the door to the principal's office, and there is a meeting going on in there with a lot of people. Unfortunately the door is broken, and I keep bumping it open and having to apologize. Meanwhile, I am playing with a couple of nails sticking out of the wall, and find myself backing away from several large spiders. (Large as in large types, wolf spiders, or wood spiders, perhaps, not something like huge spiders. just like an inch or two long.) They tell me not to worry about the spiders, and nobody seems to care, though they creep me out a little.

Soon I finally have a chance to speak to the person in charge (who warns me they are still putting together the diplomas and mailing them out, and I can't collect it in person), and I say something like "I'm here on behalf of Carolyn S. Her son graduated a few days ago ... his name is ..." "Carson, yes. We were very proud of him ... such a shame what happened." "Wha?" "Oh, he went out and got drunk three days ago, and something happened, and now he is dead!" "But I just saw him ..." I continue to think ... four days ago! Oh no! Poor Carolyn. I am horrified. And about that time I wake up.

---

May 25, 2013 -- [Even later in the morning ... but most of this one is missing. There was even more of this one, before the part I remember, and I think it involved looking for a nice restaurant.] There were bits about eating, and maybe a hint of balloon twisting that I can barely remember, but then I find myself getting home at the Hickory house. Mom is being a bit of a pest, but nowhere near as bad as in the first dream of the night. Carolyn S. is also here, and it is several days after the second dream. I know I ought to tell her how sorry I am to hear about her son, and apologize for my visit to his grade school, but she is running out to door for a balloon gig of her own. But just as she is exiting, she mentions that Carson was asking about me, yesterday. Turns out he is fine, and the woman at the school didn't have any idea what she was talking about. Weird.

Meanwhile, I am walking to my second bedroom, and find that both the doors are open, and mom has been in there, messing with my stuff again. Darn it, I wish that woman would stay out of my room and leave my stuff alone! I walk in, and start glancing around to see what she might have messed with, and soon find myself playing some Runescape. It is half-live, half game, but I have no computer to play with. I soon find myself facing off against a huge troll or ogre, something along the lines of Bork, but not him. Problem is, I can't seem to touch him, but he sure seems to be able to touch me! Somebody sees me having problems, and calls over to me that the only thing he is weak to is the casting of bloom, but I don't have my druid pouch with me.

Luckily, I do have my first ever cell phone, my old silver Sanyo flip phone, and I pull it out of my pocket, and start flipping through it to see if I might have any sort of Runescape app. Luckily I find one that allows me to cast bloom by pushing the 2 key, so I wait for the creature to attack me, hold the phone at him, mash the 2 key a few times, and a bright light comes out of the phone, and starts to injure him. I have to wait a little while before he recovers enough to try again, and we do the same thing. This goes on 10 or 12 times, and I've beaten him down to about half health, but unfortunately, I'm almost out of prayer, so I am not going to be able to cast bloom anymore. So I am struggling with the app to see if there is any way I can access my Ardy cloak to recharge my prayer points, but so far I haven't managed it. [In actuality, I would probably need the Falador shield, rather than the cloak.]

My friend Cooper was complaining about how much he dislikes trials. Which is weird, because I am the one(ironaut, see what I did there?) that thinks American trail laws are dumb. There was some kind of hill behind him too. A small one.[/FONT]

I am in a video game. this isn't real. Everything is set up. There are a bunch of my family members there in this small town. My pastor, wife, dad, sisters, brother in laws, friends and randos.

The place is about the same size and shape as Nuketown, but the middle has a lot of trees, and the houses are closed and hard to get in. In the middle there is also a little shop run by my pastor. During the day time you need to make the alliances needed to survive the night, because you will die if you are outside during the night. Each night a roulette of Edgar Allen Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, and other macabre tales get chosen for those inside and out. It is harder to survive in the dark, so you need to be inside. Probably 100 people the first day there, trying to survive. The first day lasted like ten minutes. The first night I went to sleep and when I woke up about 5 people from my house were missing and it was still night time. The sun was rising and people had started setting things up. There was lots of fighting and looking for people. Everyone pretty much decided to not look for people since it was a game. No idea how many people left, because everyone was spread out, busy, and conducting secret meetings. The day lasted an hour or so. Didn't go to sleep that night. It was pretty blurry till the fourth day of this. I think that there are about 20 people left. The idea that it is a game has left me. People are dying everywhere. I found the roulette that chooses the night time. You need to be in the right place or you will die. People are getting more and more violent though. (I am cutting out a lot of this dream... There is a lot of stuff I am skipping out). I see one person that isn't fazed by this at all. He is talking to my sister. Hukif is teaching my sister a few things about survivalhe is also teaching albino squirrels how to manipulate ice so that they can fight. I start thinking about the dream and realizing how long I had been there. In my mind I remembered 20 different times of being there. So I might have forgot some nights there. It seemed very consistent and crazy fun..I then found a friend of mine being burried alive. I dug her out and gave her CPR and revived her (didn't think she was real, but thought that it was a consistent realm). Part of the game sent zombies at me and one jumped on me. He bit me and I started turning into a zombie. My arm started rotting and I started wanting to eat people (partial transform). Then Hukif sent the squirrels after me. Struggling with understanding how someone could do all this, I realized that this isn't a consistent realm anymore and I could use full dream powers. The squirells were jumping off of things trying to bite me. I am not a part-zombie anymore. One of them flies at me and I back hand smack it across the deck. It shatters. The other one I lift in the air (tk) and it shoots ice at me. I stop the ice and then send it back to its head and freeze it off. It falls to the ground and the head shatters.
I teleport to the basement. There are about twenty people celebrating that the game is over (it was getting violent and everyone couldn't get out) and that it is a dream. One guy is flying across the ceiling dancing and there is loud music with the party. My pastor asks me if I want a beer and I say no. My wife takes it and drinks up (apparently not pregnant, but it is a dream anyways. ).



Fun freaking dream!

So in my dream it was suppose to be Neil Armstrong but since I didn't know what he looked like I used lance Armstrong haha
anyway he was in a weird space craft pod thing that was going into space, it was designed to withstand being in space for very very long periods of time and this was the first launch. Armstrong had a kitty with him the cat was wearing like a kitty space suit? it was adorable but they landed on the moon and they were going to live there to see what space life would be like.
I wake up.

[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=3][U]5/21[/U][/SIZE] NOTE: I NEVER, EVER have dreams where I hurt people! IDK what happened! And I'm not a violent person!

There are many scenes where I am making fun of people for not reaching/achieving something. [COLOR=#008000]:May have been school related:[/COLOR]

[U][B]Second Non-Lucid:[/B][/U]
One of my friends, Graham, is slicing people at school with a knife. It was school people, at least. He taught me to do so as well, and I did, but I don't remember any details. The knife I use is one I have at home, it's the one I use to cut bacon in half before pan-frying (however, I can't seem to remember seeing the handle, so I don't remember its color, red, like it is, or any other).

Well, I lied. I do remember the details of one specific 'knifing'. I was at a place a concrete hallway, very long. On my side-on the right from where I was standing-there was just concrete wall. But to my left, about eight feet away, there was a gap in the wall. It was about five feet tall, a lookout. [COLOR=#008080][It stretched the entirety of the hallway][/COLOR]. It opened to blue sky, and a background of perhaps palm trees. We were standing about in the middle of the beginning of the hallway, and the end. We are about three feet from the plain right side. Also Nobody is reacting to the knife/killings in any way, shape, or form.

This time, I try to 'get' my friend Jordan, but when the knife is at her throat, I cannot do it. [COLOR=#008080][Note that it is my guilt that is causing the stop][/COLOR] [COLOR=#008000]:I try again a few times, but still it does not work:[/COLOR] Eventually, I sort of break out crying. I make her aware that no matter what, she will have to die right then and there. I give her the knife, and it is again at her throat, but I don't remember if anything happened. [COLOR=#008080][I don't think she died. I don't know how or when, but eventually I will tell her what I saw. The reason I didn't do it in dream was b/c She is the most innocent, kind girl I have ever seen and she deserves to know. But I hope it won't put her in a state of 'people hate me, they want to kill me in their dreams', because she is prone to such thoughts][/COLOR].

So we are in a fictional version of my science teacher's (Mr. Southwick's) class. The 'me' character's mindset is different. 'I won't do it anymore', sort of like that. But I am afraid that the science teacher will get me in trouble for what I did. He asks me to speak to some counselor/psychiatrist.[/FONT]

There is brightness, Everything appears to be the most showy color of its kind; DC's wearing bright clothes. [COLOR=#008080][perhaps the movements work][/COLOR] A DC, facing profile, with his [COLOR=#008080] [yes, it was a he] [/COLOR] head to the right. Inside of some kind of building/tent with background decorations of deep red and gold. [COLOR=#008000]:The area was about two/three feet taller than his head:[/COLOR] (the old Turkish kind of tent), he was wearing a pair of yellow corduroy pants that-even though they weren't the lightest shade of yellow-seemed to gleam. He was speaking to another person, [COLOR=#008000]:who was (or may have been, at least at some point) out of view. The out-of-view DC was sitting on a mat of sorts, maybe a crumpled up towel:[/COLOR][/FONT]

Saturday, 5/25/13

last night, bed 11;30 - 7;40am

I think I had this dream twice last night. All I remember is that I had a master and he was ordering me around and I was calling him Master.
Thanks, Linkzelda!

I was on a football field at a Steelers and Cowboys game. There was a 3rd team also. There were racks of free team swag on the field up for grabs. I get some Cowboys stuff for my dad.

My older daughter is a princess and has to learn stuff like manners and posture ect. I try get her out of it because I feel they are too strict on her. Later I am walking at work and there is strange carpet. I feel the softness under foot. Somehow I understand why they were so hard on her and my daughter is more excepting of it. I talk with some noble about eating cold meat. He says that because we like cold meat, it means we are getting old. I tell him that I prefer grilling steaks frozen on high heat; that way it's blackened on the outside but rare in the middle. He seems to think that is a moot point.

So, I signed up for the DVA Dreaming Competition and as soon as I did, I hit a strange dry spell, lol. I just broke out of it in a huge way though.

Non-lucid Dream #1
First up, a quick summary of a normal dream I had. I was playing in the alumni football game and for some reason, I wasn't starting (this would never happen . We were back on defense and I told coach, "I'm going in now whether you like it or not." He said, "That is all we ever wanted to hear." I went in and nobody as wearing pads. The other team was composed of elderly, nursing home patients. It was flag football and the most boring game ever. I remember being mad that I had paid 100 dollars to play in this game. I woke up at some point and realized how ridiculous this dream was, lol. I attempted a WBTB WILD, but ended up losing consciousness real fast and failed the WILD. I was just too damn sleepy. Anyway, now is when it gets interesting...

Non-Lucid Dream #2
Nothing interesting here. I was talking to one of my buddies about the upcoming alumni football game (yeah, A TON of my dreams have had this theme lately).

I can't remember hardly any of the first part of this dream. I was on the porch of an old farmhouse. I had just walked out onto the porch and there was a guy with a huge cartoon-like hammer. As he was swinging at me, I instantly became lucid for no apparent reason. He struck me several times with this ridiculously proportioned hammer. I did the slow motion, evil eye, turn toward him and said, "That won't work on me!" I thought about beating the guy up, but I immediately remember my tasks for DVA Dreaming Competition.

There were several wide, solid pillars connecting the porch base to the overhang above. I pushed my face up to the nearest one and slowly walked forward. I phased into the pillar. As I entered the pillar, the insides resembled a mesh net. The mesh slowly snapped apart, string by string, as I passed through it and then reconnected behind me. I had never paid much attention while phasing before and I thought this was pretty bad ass. After passing through the pillar, I proceeded to the next step of my task. I looked around me for some familiar faces and found that Mike and Diddy were with me, as they usually are. They had been in the early non lucid parts of this dream as well as the my non-lucid from earlier. I was expecting to seem them and there they were.

I spoke, "You guys ready for some chaos? Come watch!" I looked into the sky which was bright and sunny with only a few clouds in the sky. I raised my hands and began swirling the clouds and moving them across the sky telepathically, using my hands to guide them. As they swirled the wind began to pick up. I started saying, "Faster....faster...faster" in a real dramatic manner . The wind picked up to hurricane-like levels and the sky had grown stormy looking. There were mass amounts of orange and red leaves swirling around me at ground level. The collection of leaves looked much like a crackling fire as they spun around me with great speed. I then grabbed the darkest cloud with my mind/hands and did a splitting/breast stroke motion. The cloud cracked open and many jetstreams of dark black smoke erupted from the cloud's crack. They shot all around the sky, level trails of the dark smoke across the sky. I used my fingers, naturally assigning each finger one black smoke jetstream, and began shooting them all around the sky. It was quite the spectacle.

I decided that maybe the intense wind wouldn't count as element manipulation, so I did the same motion to another dark cloud as before (breast stroke motion). This cloud burst into thousands of small black sections and rain began to fall. I thought the small black sections of cloud kind of resembled bats. Suddenly, I noticed that they WERE bats. There must have been thousands of them. I began bursting every cloud I saw like this and they all turned into swarms upon swarms of bats. The rain became heavier and heavier wioth each burst though I wasn't getting wet at all. Soon the entire sky was black because there were so many bats and I had run out of clouds to burst-transform. Mike and Diddy had been making comments here and there the whole time, but they weren't important enough to remember. I used my mind/hands to send all the bats over the horizon. It was like a huge shadow moving across my environment as they passed over our heads. I now had an overcast sky to work with.

I stuck out my finger between my vision and the clouds high above and began a swirling motion. The clouds began swirling in a tight circle. I then slammed my hands down to the ground and a tornado formed and quickly touched down. I noticed that I was now on some kind of college campus and all the students screamed, "Tornado!" and took off running. I decided to not cause any destruction, because of the storms in OKC I suppose. I just split the tornado into two, creating two tornados. I then swirled up a few more in the sky and kept splitting them. Much like the black smoke jetstreams, I used each of my fingers to help guide my telekinesis. I was moving these massive twisters all around the campus all at once. They moved perfectly with how I wanted them to move. I shouted to eveyone, "Its ok, they are harmless." The college students slowly calmed down and began to enjoy the twisters. They were jumping in them and I was speeding up the twister in bursts. This caused the students to be sent flying across the sky. After a few moments, people were flying around and swooping into my tornadoes and getting launched into flight. There were probably 100 people flying around and doing dream related activities. I acted like they were all lucid dreamers as well. This reminded me of finding Ctharlie in my dream. I turned and told Diddy and Mike that we needed to find Ctharlie.

I looked around my environment and there was a mountain in the background. Half covered by the trees of the mountain, I could see the palace from Aladdin (Taj Mahal ?) sticking up above the trees. I told Diddy and Mike, Ctharlie is up there in Aladdin's Palace. Before I could take action I felt myself starting to wake up. I didn't bother trying to stay in this dream, I just prepared to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 503: Ctharlhie and the Palace
Series: DVA Dreaming Competition, Episode 2
DEILD



I felt myself wake up during the transition and I was very aware that I was in my bed at home. It took an unusually long time to transition. I thought I had failed at one point, but decided to just wait it out. I still felt I was laying on my couch, but something feltt different. I decided to open my eyes and take a look (my dream eyes, that is). I was in the exact same spot from the previous dream that I prepared to DEILD. I couldn't see the palace anymore, but I knew it was there. I shouted to Mike and Diddy, without looking behind me to see if they were actually there. I shouted, "Follow me!" I took flight toward the mountain, but as I did, I noticed a powerline off in the distance. Suddenly, I was close-lined by a powerline that came out of nowhere. I grabbed it and began swinging. I told Diddy, "You gotta play around on them for a bit or you won't be able to get passed them. I swung for a few moments before landing on the roof of a nearby building. I could see the mountain/my destination off in the distance, but there was now and intricate web of powerlines in our way. I strategically looked around the powerlines for an opening and I found a gap large enough to pass through. I leapt off the building, focused on the gap and made it through. As I got closer to the mountain, I could see the palace sticking up over the horizon. To my surprise, it got bigger and bigger the closer I got to it. I landed on a flat area of the palace walls. Diddy landed there shortly after me. I ran to the closest door and entered the palace. It was laid out like a fun house more than an actual palace. There were tons of obstacles, like balance bridges, monkey bars, mirrors, and other crazy things. I began calling out, "Ctharlhie?" As I traversed through the many obstacles and expecting to see someone around each turn. Finally, after climbing a short wall, I noticed a person standing with their back to me. They were wearing blue jeans and a green tee-shirt. It was definitely Ctharlhie, but there was no human head there, but the green head of Cthulhu, very similar to your avatar .

I began talking to Ctharlie like we had met many times before. We talked briefly, but can't remember exactly what it was about. I then said, "Show me what ya got!" Me, Diddy, and Ctharlhie began showing each other different parkour-like tricks using the many obstacles in the palace. I was doing the "ninja warrior cliffhanger" on as many ledges as I could find. At one point I tumbled over a small nearby wall. I then phased back through it to get back to where Diddy and Ctharlhie were. Ctharlhie said, "You gotta show me how to go through walls like that!" Diddy chimed in with a, "You are in luck. Yosh can do all kinds of crazy shit like that." I then showed Ctharlhie that you just press your body up against the wall and slowly push through. I stated that it will feel like you are passing through a real thick liquid. We did that for a short time and then began exploring again. We came upon a large bar and I got an idea. I took off running and slid down the full length of the bar. As I slid, the bar became longer and longer and filled with more and more glasses, bottles, mugs. Instead of realistically breaking/knocking over the mugs, they exploded cartoonishly as I collided with them. I could feel the beer splash against my face, but I never got wet. This sliding reminded me of the "Slide on Saturn's" rings task, so I decided to go outside.

At that time, I heard a car door shut and I looked out the window. I saw people in the palace driveway. I asked Ctharlhie if they were friends/family. Ctharlhie replied, "Huh? I don't live here. I was just exploring." Diddy said, "Shit! We gotta get out of here." I played along and said, "Ok, follow me!" I dove head first out the window and entered flight, but someone grabbed my shirt tail and cartoonishly pulled me back to the ground like a rubber band. It was the chick who own the palace, which was now just a normal house. I don't remember what she was saying as I wasn't paying attention. I felt myself starting to wake up. Again, I didn't bother trying to stay in this one, I just got ready to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 504: Skiing Amongst the Stars
Series: DVA Dreaming Competition, Episode 3
DEILD



This DEILD transition was great. I was excited to go to space and try to slide on Saturn's rings and during the transition, I found myself flying through space as the song "Faded: played in the background. Its the song that says, "I'm faded...faded...faded...my (brotha) I'm faded...faded...faded..." stars were flying by me as I approached random planets here and there. I wasn't in the dream fully yet, I was still transitioning and my HI was this space experience. I flew by several planets and wasn't really able to control my path. One planet had a huge craters and mountain ranges on it that formed a weird looking clown face. It was incredible because it didn't look cartoonish at all. the mountain ranges, craters, and dips in elevation on the surface of the planet created an uncanny clown face. I admired it for a while and noticed I had completely transitioned into the dream state.

I was floating around with the stars. I saw several planets in the background, so I flew toward them. As I got closer, they remained the same size. By the time I reached them, they were the size of tennis balls. I grabbed the planets and began juggling them. After a short bit of this, I continued searching for Saturn. I saw cluster of planets that seemed to be just floating randomly and not in any sort of orbit. As I got closer, I noticed one of them was Saturn. I got excited, but immediately caught myself before getting too excited. I performed a nose pinch RC, took a deep breath and calmed myself. I then casually floated toward the planet cluster. These were much larger than tennis balls. They were about the size of those really big medicine balls. I stepped on Saturn's rings and I could tell it was slick. It felt like I was standing on a solid sheet of ice. I got my footing and stood still for a moment. I crouched down in a skii position and slowly began to slide on my feet. It got faster and faster until I was orbiting around the planet by skiing on the rings. By this point, the planet was about as big as a small garage. I leaned left and right as I circled the planet and it felt like, what I'd imagine skiing is like (i've never been before). After a bit of this, I realized I couldn't stop because of the momentum and slick surface, so I just flung myself off and tumbled into space. I began free falling, faster and faster into an abyss of darkness. I then suddenly woke up in my bed.

This dream wasn't fooling me though, I was far too lucid for that. I knew it was a false awakening. I dove headfirst out of my window and took flight. I landed in my yard after flying for a short time. I decided to try and go back into space. I jumped up and grabbed the gutter of my house and pulled myself up on the roof. As I did this, another level of roof appeared on my house. I jumped up and grabbed that edge and pulled myself up. I did this about four times before my roof stopped growing along with my climb . I looked up at a crystal clear sky that was full of stars. I threw my hands out, super man style, jumped, and began to ascend. I could feel the cool air rushing passed my face as I ascended. I made it back up into space and was floating around again. I couldn't see any planets or anything. There were nothing but distant stars around me. I felt 100% cut off from everything, like I was in an endless abyss. I started to feel fear and freaked out a bit. I felt myself waking up, so I quickly shook off the fear and prepared to DEILD.

Lucid Dream 505: Cosplay Festival
Series: Meiseki na Yume, Episode 3
DEILD



This transition happened very quickly. I transition back into the dream state and noticed that everything looked like it had high quality video game graphics. I stood up and saw that I was in an unfamiliar building. There was a stack of blocks in front of me that said, "POW" on them. I punched the blocks in a very mechanical manner and they exploded. My movements felt very robotic, much like a really crappy video game would feel. I opened a nearby door and exited the building. I was now in a normal realistic setting. I was at the top of the hill on a neighborhood street. Diddy was with me as we began walking down the street. I told him I wanted to have some sort of anime dream. He told me he was down, so I explained to him how to have one. I told him to just walk down the street and pretend like we are anime characters in an anime world. Soon we came upon a restaurant and there were completely animated 2D characters eating in the outdoor area of the restaurant. It was pretty cool as they were in a Cowboy Bebop style animation. They were the only animated DCs though. There were tons of other people walking around on the streets, but they weren't animated. It seemed to be some sort of festival. The DCs slowly began to change into cosplayers. I noticed brightly colored hair first. Soon everyone had colorful hair and some were wearing costumes. The costumes become more and more elaborate until everyone walking around was in full blown cosplay.

Most were just random concoctions of anime features, but some I could recognize. We passed a chick who was cosplaying Misa Misa (from Death Note), another was Yoko (from Gurren Lagann), and a group of guys who were cosplaying the entire cast of Kuroko no Basket. I started searching for a mirror to see what I was dressed as. I couldn't find a mirror, but I started looking at myself in the reflection of store windows as we waked down the street. With each window we passed I added something to my costume and slowly transformed myself into. A lot of it was added by the dream itself. I made a few minor tweaks by imagining something I wanted to add to my get-up. I was dressed as a Shinigami from Bleach. I had a long black robe that also had an equally long black cape attached. Where the robe opened up in the front, I had a white vest on. The solid part of the vest only covered my chest, but it had tons of long/thin strips that reached to my waist. The robe sleeves were tucked into long white Michael Jackson-like gloves. My hair was solid white and my skin was extra pale. It sounds a little odd, but it looked badass! I was very happy with how the transformation turned out. Brandon came out from a nearby building and was dressed as Wolfwood (from Trigun)

We ended up in a huge shopping mall area. I first found a sword holder laying on the ground, so I picked it up and decided to look for a sword. I couldn't find one, so I held the leather holder out in front of me. I then looked away from it and looked back again. Nothing happened. I decided to concentrate on the holder. I squeezed the leather over and over until I felt something solid within. I reached into the holder and pulled out a long, solid black blade. I started slicing up some clothes that were hanging from racks beside me. I put the sword in the holder and told Diddy to tie it to my back so it looked cool. He started tying, but was having trouble. It was too tight around my body. I noticed that my robe now felt tight as well. I tried to adjust the clothes, but they kept getting tighter and tighter. I now could feel that I had something tucked up under my shirt/robe in the front. I pulled my shirt up and 6 or 7 rectangular, cardboard, christmas boxes fell out. I chuckled at this absurdity as Diddy said, "Why were those under your shirt?" I replied, "Dreams, man. Who knows?" My clothes now fit properly once again, but the sword holder was still a fail. I decided just to hold the sword as I walked around. This dream was actually pretty long, but most of the time was spent walking around and looking at all the cool ass cosplay costumes. I felt myself waking up, but decided not to DEILD again in fear of forgetting my earlier dreams. I just let myself wake up and immediately hopped on here to type them up.

5/25/13

1. After I am mugged , me, a family friend, my mother, and a guy I do not know wake up. Each of us is in a different location. I am near the man, who is on the floor naked for some reason. Each of us cannot remember much, and we slowly find each other. We begin ranting about May 15. We discover that all of us are talking about the same thing. We go back to my house, and we find a nest of bees. The man does a search and identifies them as bees with hallucinogenic stingers. We conclude that after I was mugged, we went to an event involving May 15. There, we were stung by the bees, tripped out, and forgot everything. It is night, and we are in my house avoiding the bees. I actually go to them and aggravate three of them into stinging me. I do this to have more hallucinations. We sit there and wait until morning and until the high wears off. Then, we call animal control and they confirm this hive of hallucinogenic bees as the last on Earth. They drive away with the intention of safely mating the bees and re-introducing them to the wild. After it is all over and the others leave, I consider doing a reality check because of the situations bizarreness. I do, but it isn't working. I complain to my mother about it.

"It's okay; I'm sure you'll be able to figure out this is a dream all by yourself," she said. Satisfied by not allowing my lucidity, she bears a sinister grin. I force my eyes open to wake up.

2013-05-25 (apparently I had these dreams two months from now before)
In what I believe is chronological order, none lucid:

Fragment 1:
Another person and I were walking, possibly down the street. That's all I remember.

Fragment 2:
I was in some sort of jungle. I think I was racing 2 on 2 by swinging around on vines or something and I believe I/we won and ended up in my dad's backyard.

Fragment 3:
My sister had friends over and there was a lot that happened that I don't remember. At one point, I was in the front closet of my mom's house and they came, opened it and we all wanted a specific shirt. I walked over to the sink in the kitchen and saw a StackOverflow question inside, saying something like my mom should get it, which quickly got two upvotes. <Then, I woke up, opened my eyes, turned onto my side and immediately realized I suck at DEILD.>

I can't even remember their order, but the dreams were about:

1. Me driving a white car on the streets of a random city. I can't seem to find the brake so I keep accelerating and I run over someone riding a bike, then I climb a steep hill with the same car passing by two kids who are playing with a small egg.

2. Me and someone else are playing with an egg when it suddenly breaks. When we examine its remains on the floor we notice it had gone bad or it had something else inside it.

3. I am at a table in a bar or some house working on my laptop and suddenly I end up cuddling with a girl (we'll call her AnneX).

4. I am riding a motorcycle in my hometown, speeding and driving recklessly.
