Toboggan

I was watching 5 or 6 people go down a snowy or icy hill. I was viewing it as though I were going backwards, but it was more like a movie. I or a DC commented that two of the people on one toboggan were very small people.

Then I was going down the hill with them. I was listening to a song that I've only heard one or two times IWL. I would call it speed metal. I think it's funny that my mind recalled a song that I can't remember now that I'm awake.

Anyway, I was going about 50 miles per hour. It was very fast, and there were cars around. I started getting scared, but the music was awesome and I tried to feel like I would have when I was younger and more likely to get into such a position anyway--brave!

I relaxed a little, but I was going to hit a car. Then I found that there was someone who would wait until the last second and then hit any car that someone was going to hit. This person who hit them on purpose would knock them clean out of our way like on Sonic the Hedge Hog. It would be physically impossible in waking life, but it would clear the street for the tobogganers.

Now that I log this dream, this may have been induced by an accident that I saw yesterday. I heard a loud crash and then a red car spinning out of control. It got slammed!

In my dream, the guy cleared the way for me two times. I watched the cars clear my view in two frames. The car would be turned in another position instantly, then it was gone.

Almost with J-Lo

I was ready to do her. I asked if I could do her or something and she said "It's your penis, not mine."

I stroked it a couple times and as I was ready, the dream ended. Yes, disappointing.

False Arrest

I was in a room. Someone from AstralSoft I think, was in another room. We were being held against our will. My brother was one of the people keeping me in the room I think.

The floor had an inch of water, and there were snakes on the ground and on the walls. That didn't really bother me because I like snakes, but the entire scene was discomforting.

Snakes would fall from the wall from time to time and pop on the ground and die. Then there was a snake with different segments. I had a false memory of this snake as also being harmless. I started to pet it and maybe pop it by section.

Someone asked what I thought. I said, "False arrest is what I call it!" From there, I started getting more freedom. I was talking to someone explaining the situation. The floor became dry, and eventually I was out of the room.

The other guy was going to start getting more freedom.

I'm not Pretty

A girl was telling me she wasn't pretty. She had leaves in her hair as part of her attire. I told her to look at a Pin Oak leaf in her hair. I pulled it out and showed it to her. It was a dead leaf. I told her it was because the leaf was dead, not because she wasn't pretty.

So I'm trying out a new method of trying to induce AP/OBE

Basically in summary (though there's a lot more meaning behind the steps)

1. I take a small nap for about 1 hour to 90 minutes.

2. Wake up, stay up for 30 minutes to an hour

3. Practice relaxing, which shouldn't be too hard since the Pre-Sleep will make my body relaxed.

4. When I realize I'm in a state of complete relaxation and different awareness, I'll pretend there's a rope that I'm climbing, and apply passive awareness combined with deliberate force to keep climbing until I feel the sensation that I'm "Out of Body" Or in a "Dream Body."

------------

Not sure if the dream recall pitched a bit because of it, but I'm going to keep it up.

I'll probably still do another WBTB with it, but just practicing these small steps first.

Sex with Rich People Fetish (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

There's a thread on DV where someone mentions how they feel when they have sex with rich people, sort of like a fetish thing.

The Green Chalk Board (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

All I remember is being inside of a small classroom, and there was a guest speaker that was trying to explain to us a few things, but I remained passive and found the whole thing boring.

That was until he introduced something to the class that was actually interesting, and it enticed me to get up an interact with them. Some of the dream characters looked exactly like the main characters from the show "Recess."

It makes sense, since I was watching a MEP (Multi-Editor Project) video that involved using some song with clips from the show yesterday. The content was all on the green chalkboard, and I can't recall exactly what enticed me.

REM Cycle Graph (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I wake up and noticed there's a REM Cycle graph that tracked my sleeping cycles for the night apparently, similar to IamCoder's program involving using mouse clicks to record when you sleep, and for how long you keep it up before hitting REM cycles.

It was on a white background graph, and the lines of data, or heartbeat type of lines were various colors of blue, and there were a few red lines as well.

Suena and Link (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Suena mentions a post about some link that makes her feel a certain way, then I was wondering if she meant link as in my username Linkzelda. After having thoughts of confusion circling around for a while, I finally realize she just meant link as in a website link.

The Sidewalk of Changing Events (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

All I remember is that I'm walking on a sidewalk, mostly on the left side if you're looking at this screen. There's a lot going on, many people coming and going, many vehicles disappearing, and being replaced with new ones.

I turn around back and forth a few times, and realize that almost everything I do that, something changes in this environment. The atmosphere was neutral, gray colored and all, and it felt like morning or an afternoon with gray skies foreshadowing rain or something.

Random DV Thread (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

There's some thread I'm reading on DV, and there's a lot of members having conversations in it. To list a few:

f0rceez
Erii (I think)
Alyzarin
Linkzelda (me)

and a lot more, but I can't recall the rest. There were a lot of jokes exchanged and people recieving likes.

Other than that, I can't remember anything else.

Picture of Myself (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm looking at a picture of myself on a laptop, and I'm wearing a black shirt, and I have my hair at a low level like I do in waking life at the moment.

I put on a smile for whatever camera I'm talking the picture in, and I noticed my teeth don't belong on my face, it feels like I'm wearing someone's teeth. Maybe the teeth were just misaligned that made me presume that.

//No LDs.//

#1 - Totally Spies.

I was one of Totally Spies and our chief, Jerry, gave us mission. The problem is, I didn't know what is the mission. I also didn't know if other spies in my group knew.
After leaving Jerry's office, we went to the shop that is near my house. We were there with my little cousin, I even didn't know why we were in the shop. Anyway, I started wondering why our chief didn't give us any gadgets to fight. Then I left the shop... and entered it again. Cousin was arguing with seller. He was cursing on her, called her an idiot. I felt bad. It was my cousin behaving like jerk. Shame. I decided to leave him with another spy and exit the shop. Before I did, I saw S., whom I first met in the mental hospital. But I didn't want to talk.

#2 - Magic Tree.

I was on meadow. There was very big tree with holes in it. Next to me was some girl. I don't remember much, only the fact she had glasses and ponytail. She came into the tree and started going upwards. It turned out that it's REALLY big inside. She could climb and climb and there was no end.
I looked at the plate which was near the tree. It had words on it. "Once you choose downward, there's no come back". Somehow I knew that under the roots is only evil and up is good. People were supposed to choose the side. And when they wanted to do it they were receiving pieces of papers with letters from A to E. And again, they needed to choose letter. Each letter had different description. Description of character. People were deciding which one was just like them. If they choose wrong letter, they will get stuck in the tree forever.
I got my pieces. I didn't really know what should I do. Then I saw S. He was around 10 years old (like me) and had his pieces too. He went into the tree. In that moment, I was seeing through his eyes. There were two girls - one from the beginning and one stranger. They were kinda... hibernated? Alive, but hibernated. He took pieces and lay their letters on their shoulders. Then I saw light. It was nice, warm light around them.
I'm not sure what happened to them, but S. came out of the tree.
And I still didn't know what to choose. So he started helping me. There were at least two letters good for me. But if tree would think different... I wanted to choose wisely.
...And I woke up. *facepalm*
I find this dream very amazing and magical. Tree reminds me of those from the myths. Also, the dream is alike one about W.I.T.C.H. Choosing character, some guy helping me... Quite interesting.

#3 - Spider-Man and Hospital.

I was in the hospital with possibility to learn. It looked strange - like school mixed with hospital. But it wasn't bothering me. I went to the kitchen and wanted to make myself kissel. I couldn't find it for a while. Then I looked into the drawer and found it. In that moment some girl came to the kitchen and took kissel. At first I was confused and angry, but then I saw another kissel. So I made it and left.
When I came out, there was... Spider-man sitting on a chair. I wasn't shocked. I said 'hi' to him. After that he got electro-shocked. I thought it's impossible, because there was no sources of current. And I saw two little things sticked to his chair. I took them, showed him and said there is usually just one thing like that (?). He took a look and got electro-shocked again, when he touched it. Then I saw man who was doing it. I said "it's him!".
...and don't remember the rest.

There were a few dreams about homosexuality and Mitt Romney, and there was also a time where I had to take shelter in this orphanage type place to get away from a huge storm that had the potential to kill us all even inside the orphanage (there were even meteors falling) and at one point I think I was a tulpa and I was flying around by flapping my arms up and down

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

It's been the 3rd time in the past couple of weeks that I wake up obsessed with this word: tesseract. And it rang a bell but I just couldn't remember what this word meant, so only the third morning of waking up with this word hanging in my mind I decided to google it. The tesseract is an hypercube.

I'm sure I had come across this word and this object before, but I was actually in doubt that such word even existed. This only proves that the unconscious mind knows a lot more than my conscious mind can recall.
Is there any connection between dreams and tesseracts? Probably a reminder that dreams are existences in other dimensions, beyond the four that we experience through our senses. Therefore, they are like the extension of the cube to an hypercube.
Anyway, back to the dreams...

(...) There's a huge storm forming, enormous dark clouds and even a tornado in the distance. I am at the door of what looks like a huge barn and I start calling everybody inside. There are endless doors and windows and I start closing them carefully one by one. I go up in the attic or mezzanine and I see some of my childhood toys forgotten there. I feel nostalgia and I decide to bring it down with me. That's when I see some menacing dark figures outside. I realize it's not just the storm we have to worry about.
When the storm calms down, still very early morning, I go outside with a kid to see the damages. I tell the kid to stay close to me but he disappears. Then I see these huge black dogs with birds' heads. They've taken the kid away. Some lady who was hiding in the bushes tells me they are mythical animals from the Mexican folklore, who take children alive and no one knows for what.
(...)
Then I think I am on a boat to some island to save the boy.
(...)
Then I am at what seems to be the EU quarter in Brussels. Me and a friend, decide to crash and disrupt an important meeting. Like the "Yes Men", we enter a meeting pretending to be some of the delegates and we sit on the table, just by the side of Christine Lagarde from IMF. My colleague opens her briefcase and instead of papers, it contains lots and lots of ties, with different patterns and colours. They start looking at us. We say the problem that they are so square is that they all dress in black and white and for the good of mankind they must wear colourful ties. Then we start walking between the chairs of the delegates trying different ties on them, suggesting colours and so on. At first no one reacts, then Lagarde shouts at us. We say to her that instead of spending thousands of euros on Louis Vouitton bags, she should also wear a colourful tie, as she clearly is more a man than a lady. That's when we're kicked out.
Then I don't remember well, but I find out this kind of EU-city is a fortress on top of a mountain, almost like Mount Olympus. And I want to continue doing a lot of crap to sabotage it but I'm under surveillance, so I decide to fly outside the fortress' walls. My friend warns me of the monsters that guard its boundaries, but I go anyway, because it is the perfect shortcut to avoid guards and enter the buildings through a window.
Then I am flying around this fortress and then I don't remember.

I'm at some sort of huge comic/videogame convention, but it's different....like real. Scenery changes to a fantasy land, I see people sitting and drinking at a tavern, and it triggers lucidity. Duals are going on both in real life and on video games. I slowly transformed into Auron with my residual clothing technique. People who saw me were super intimidated. Not bad. I continued walking around looking for a challenge, and saw this room littered with street fighter joystick boxes. All of them had Dalhsim, and I couldn't help but laugh at everyone who had to buy one at the last minute. There was this guy there. Dressed in all black leather, black hair, skin was pale. He had a smug look on him, and he was waiting for me to attack. I lunged forward, and he blocked it with his hands, and threw me back. Then he pulled out a sword and gun and started shooting at me. I dodged the bullets, but was caught off guard that this guy was using real weapons. Maybe my weapons were real...I'm not sure...control is fading. This guy is just owning me with ease. He uses a spell that threw a swarm of killer clams at my ankle, and they munch away at my flesh while heading up it. I knock them off with my sword, but all they do is disappear and reappear back on my ankle. The DC is laughing at me saying I can't do anything..... Oh Hi Irken I'm in a random small class room, and I just rolled up a fat blunt. It's like the size of a hotdog, but it's falling a part. I take a hit, and realize I'm going to need to doctor it up. I head to the sink and put some water on my hands and try to reshape everything back in place (I really don't think I would have had enough spit to work it right) and Irken walks in. He wanted to smoke, and he bought his own. I told him I had to finish putting this crap together, and we'd hit it. Some other random DC comes in, so I put it out, and hid it. Meanwhile he was talking about some math class that he had, and I asked him "was it calculus?" He said yes, so I pulled out my book and asked him if that's the one needed....he did, so I decided to sell it to him for only 20 bucks. I knew it was at least resalable for 80 but it's all good. Then my bro comes in with a huge box that has all these games in it. I don't know if they're demo's or what but I ask him "why does gamestop always hook you up". He then tells me about how much he spends there on average. I don't know what to do with the stuff, because I only have old school systems.

Im in the forrest again (as usual) Im walking around aimlessly (as usual) and I start to hear people whispering all around me, but it's like in my mind ''Torre esk vienne." (I think) And I think I see Ben, but I keep walking around. I have the feeling Im not really meant to be there, then I come across a couple of people and they're all talking quietly and stop when I come over, one of the girls has dark hair, and for some reason I think ''This must be Irina." I asked them if they knew where Nika was, and they all give me really bitchy glares, so I walk away. I dont remember the next bit, but someone is holding my head underwater and Im screaming. Then I wakeup screaming at the top of my lungs -.-

Its like a re-occuring dream, Im in a massive forrest, it's all pine and it's twilight, so it's still light out. Im wearing a long red corsetted dress and Im calling out for Nika, I keep screaming her name out but nothing happens. I keep walking and I can tell someone is watching me, I look around and this guy steps out from behind a tree, its not C or A or any of them, but its a different ''group'' of people, he's really tall and he has big black eyes, no whites, and great white teeth, he smiles at me and I scream, and I turn around and start running, and he has this weird laugh, and he screams out ''I hope you last longer than the last girl.'' I keep running until I get to a cliff along the edge of the forrest, and Nika is there, I run up to her and give her a hug and she asks me where J is, and I say I dont know. And we just sat there, and I wokeup like usual, suddenly and my heart beating 45678 miles an hour and drenched in sweat. Lovely.

Took four 500 mg valerian root capsules last night. Had some incredibly detailed and vivid dreams. Tonight I'll be trying out 1000 mg. Waited too long to journal so much of it was lost but here's what I got.

Kenny wants to know if I have any money.
He offers to give me some.
I am humbled and I try to refuse,
but he insists.
I am debating which clothes to wear.
I feel as if I traveled to various places on my dream map tonight;
The school
The theater
The forest
The park.
There is a male here who is interested in me.
I think it's attraction he's feeling.
Tyson is there when I wake up (in dream).
He says he's been talking shit about me,
but he won't tell me what.
My dad is here now.
He has offerings of weed.
Handed to me in the scarab box.
I am humbled.
I am very happy.
I am in the school.
A section that I am familiar with.
The intersectional space where the hallway meets with the large gym and cafeteria.
I think that I'm preparing for a journey/trip.
I remember thinking about how I'll be able to buy food with the money Ken gave me.

Had a ton of dreams last night.

1. I was driving out on this country road looking to see if there were any pheasants in the area we always hunt. (Opening day of pheasant season is this weekend). Anyways, i then came across this strange bend in the road, and there was this huge mining oporation, where they were mining for aspirin. SUddenly the road turned into a hole and the car fell in and I just barely made it out. I can then remember just kinda sitting there for a while and eventualy it dawned on me that maybe I should ask for some help.
I called out and then some random girl started walking over to help me out. Then this other dude came over and gave me a hand. As he pulled me up though, he suddenly pretended to stab me. I asked what the "HELL" he was doing, and he said it was for a movie, and I should just go with the flow. Anyways, we then redid the scene and as he pulled me out, I apparently was supposed to stab the girl, which in turn made him stab me. Apparently my acting was a sucess and the dream ended.

2. It was snowing very heavily outside and I was with a bunch of friends. We were filming this cartoon or something, and then we went to this random arcade set up out in the middle of nowher, that appeared to be some backwoods cabin. Anyways, we went to this arcade and started up all the machines. I remember there was this one Sonic pinball one though, that I had rigged beforehand, and when we turned all the machines on, it glitched out and I won by an enormous score. After that I departed to my grandma's house which was conviently located right next to the arcade. I can then remember watching some old cartoon ( I believe it was Sonic X) that I used to watch when I was just a lil' tyke.

3. I was at our shop with my motorcycle and some other random dude. We were debating what would be the best way to fit all this stuff we needed to park in there. I remember jumping in a UTV to park it inside, and then somehow the ground magically shifted so I was parking in the correct spot. Once we had parked everything we went over to look at this jet ski. The wierd thing is that I can vividly remember some numbers entering my mind. The jet ski's odometer was at 193 for the current trip, and the craft was of 250cc displacement. Then, I remember resetting the trip meter, and watching the dial spin past all the numbers until finally resting on zero. ( I wonder if this was related to the shared dream at all?)

4. I had this giant propane tank that I was trying to detonate underwater to see if it would kill this whale I believe. I was underwater to see this thing go off (smart right?). Anyways, it detonated without a problem, but it didnt kill the whale. I then remember that I needed to come up for air or else i was gonna drown. however, there was this big iceberg blocking my path and I paniced. I couldn't hold my breath any longer and inhaled... except... I could breathe!!! Right then I was like... wtf? I must be dreaming! However, I then realized I actually had a diving mask of some type on allowing me to breathe, so then al my chances of lucidity were gone. I then remember randomly coming up to the surface and seeing the whale repeatedly jump up, land on the iceberg, then slide back down into the water.

5. I was at the store looking for a bag to put my friend's birthday present in. He is a fellow Sonic fan so, conviently, all the bags matched accordingly.

6. Playing Unleashed... Cool Edge Night Stage... Punched a snowman... S RANK! (i have no idea how that happened. hehe)

I dreamed I was in Canada.

Sleep Time: 11:00 p.m - 5:54 a.m

A Brother's Death

My little brother has died. I am somehow able to talk to him after his death. I am asking him questions I now can't recall.

Sleep Time: 7:00 a.m - 8:00 a.m

A Small Lucid

I'm walking around outside somewhere. The dream feels real but kind of off so I do a couple of RCs. They fail and so I continue on with the dream. I try another RC a little bit later and it works. The dream isn't very vivid and I don't have a lot of control but I know what I want to do. I try to fly and succeed a little. I raise my arms like superman and jump straight up. I almost make it up and over my house but I fall when I get to the roof. I then try to change the dream scene. I try going through doors and spinning but I alway end up in the same place. I eventually lose lucidity.

I awake with a jolt, and leap out of bed. Wait? Glycon? I must be dreaming. The great hand puppet snake god of anarchy laughs into mist. I create a portal with my ChaoStaff, and fly to the moon. I battle with some kind of gross astral parasite mother creature in the wormhole with a wormhole Wyrm. I spin out of the wormhole, burning with violet flame to kill those lil buggers. I land on the Green moon with a Boom, slamming my staff into the ground. Raven appears flying in the sky wearing as Queen of Night, wearing a long black dress, with onyx horns spiraling out of her head, riding Shadow, a winged black panther.
Oh, you silly Nomad! Let’s go on a Mission. Vegeta appears out of a wormhole. “You two! You have not trained for some time. Want some training?” He says angrily challenging me. He slams his fist into his palm, and his hands burst into flame. He growls like distant thunder. I charge at him. I am so angry, and I don’t even know why. He sidesteps me, and laughs mockingly. “Look at you. You’ve grown weak. You’re so pathetic. You have no excuse for your weakness, the once-great Nomad! Ptah!”
I see Raven fighting a double of Vegeta in the distance. Hmph. I multiply myself and surround him. He morphs into a million tiny versions of himself and swarms over me like army ants, striking me as he runs over my body. I scream in rage, and he laughs again. He claps his hands and shouts, ‘SCENARIO!”

Raven and I are in a forest, on a hill overlooking a bowl-shaped valley. We have lost lucidity. “There, she says. The Beast lies within. From it, we will have our treasure that was stolen from my people so many ages ago.” I look at Raven. She’s an elf with black hair and violet eyes. She’s wearing some kind of dark metallic armor that makes no sound when she moves in it. “Underground, the labyrinth. Nomad, don’t you remember the mission?”
A geometric shape comes out of her third eyes, and into my mind. Download. Mission: Recover Artifact in center of Labyrinthe. The Artifact is guarded by a great Minotaur.
Raven and I levitate, and fly over the ground in a vertical position about three feet off the ground. Around the labyrinthe there are puddles of water collecting. I am wearing the markings of… A Templar? No! Wait… I see on my chest are many sacred symbols… I am wearing the armor of an elven knight, and have sprigs of vines in my hair, and the hilt of my sword has a strange red jewel… The Bloodstone. I am a Drow. I look at my Dark Elf face in the water. I have a long face, pale lavender skin, white hair, pointed ears, nose, chin. My eyes are slanted and black as night. My sword drinks the blood of my enemies… yes. My sword, with the sould of an ancient vampire infused into it, forever cursed, bound to me. In my right hand I wield a staff with a Chaos Star emblazoned. I am a Chaos Paladin. Fuck. Yes.
The labyrinth entrance is a rectangular hole in the ground with a ramp leading down. Raven and I float down. I slam my staff on the ground and a magical fire burns. Raven casts a Glow spell, and light moves down to the end of the hall.
We walk for a few minutes uneventfully until we are deep inside. I see a map in my mind. The ground shakes. A stone is pushed into the hall from a wall, a rotted hand reaches out. Fuck. Zombies. They come at us from all angles. We race down the hall, burning our way through the zombie hordes, blades aflame. My sword complains that there is no nice blood in the zombies.
We come to a great abyss with just a small ledge. We see the hole on the other side, our destination. We take to the air. Suddenly a flapping of a great many large leathery wings is heard, and the din of a hundred harpies screeching in rage. Raven laughs at them, casting wind spells at them, flinging them to walls. I sonically counterattack, and the harpies get vertigo and fall.
Raven and I make it to the other side. Right here, it’s on the other side of this wall, I can feel it, Raven says. We rub the wall with our hands and vibrate it until the molecules resonate, then walk through. We are in a large room with the sun shining on a golden orb floating above an obelisk. Raven smiles at it, and walks to it, in a trance. “Raven!” The Minotaur leaps from the shadows and tackles Raven. She grabs him by his great neck, and then he laughs and morphs into a Dark Elf. “My love?” Raven says. She grabs the man and kisses him. I feel confused. Hail Eris. Eris whispers in my ear. “Turn around.”
A great snake with long hair, about 20 feet tall, the size of 5 busses rises and whips me with its tail. “HERETICS!” it screams at me. Raven and the elf fling knives into the snake’s throat. My sword flies at the fresh wound, drinking in the blood through the air before the red liquid can hit the floor. The Bloodsword pulls me into the snake, and we slice it up from the inside out.
“SCENARIO. END.”
We are standing on the Moon. Vegeta is floating in front of the three of us. “Good job. Til Next time.”
Who is the man we were with? I look at him. Oh, Spike. The Vampire returns.

Turns out that last one was technically a pseudo-lucid dream.

I'm in new york surrounded by super heroes. The government wants them, and they're hunted. They have a meeting, and decide that the boy has to evacuate. what boy?, I try to say, but I don't physically exist somehow. They bring out a boy, who is hovering 12 feet in the air. He flees the city by drilling through the ground, going all the way around the world to the other side of NY. why didn't he just cross the city?. He hears me somehow, and flys away. suddenly i'm standing in the road, watching him. I know i have to follow, I don't know why, but the feeling is overwhelming. I'm lucid! I want to fly but I can't. I remember a post from someone on the forum, saying to use the remote from Click or something like that. I pull it out of my pocket and use it like thor's hammer to fly. Man, that part was awesome!!! I never did catch the boy, but heck, I had a friggen lucid dream!!!!

I'm sitting on my boat in the back hard, and my blanket is wrapped around me (yup....probably because I just fell asleep) I see a cop car drive down the dirt road next to our house. WTF.....then I walked and peered down the road, and I saw a bunch of Mexicans getting out of a van....the cop car is no where in site. They walked by me, and I said 'hola'. Someone actually knew English but it took a while to get it out of him. I remember seeing this girl...very beautiful...blondish hair. Face all dirty..wore rags. She had to be about 9 or 10...I felt bad for her. Then something else happend....dead frogs on the windshield.....zombies....wtf, I can't piece it together.
