I thought Mind Awake/ Body Asleep meant sleep paralysis, but I misunderstood the whole thing. I thought I was struggling with reaching Focus 10 when I actually have reached it several times. I have experienced that I could no longer feel my body and I could actually imagine the sensation of feeling my body parts in another position that it really was in. For example last night I could feel my right hand scratching my left arm, but then I opened my physical eyes and saw that it was resting on the right side of my body. So I was in the state where I could imagine my body feeling different sensations. And here I could actually have done what most of the guided OBE meditations suggest, imagining my body float up and levitate or even just get out of bed. By the sensation that also Michael Raduga talked about. Now I finally understand what they meant. I am about to master the Discovery CD which taught me to achieve Focus 10. Then I am going to listen to Treshold which will teach me to enter Focus 12 which is is expanded awareness. The awareness is expanded beyond the physical body. In other words an OBE. (AP, lucid dream and so on). See you!
CRIPES! Now I know what they mean by "you couldn't have a lucid and totally forget it if you don't keep a dream journal"! I'm not sure if you'd call it a WILD or MILD, due to the ~20 minute gap between sleeping times, but when I did fall back asleep, it was like I was presented with some sort of messed-up (de-bug) version of the "Need for Speed II" track selection menu. The difference was that instead of "track 01", "track 02", and so on as one might expect (even though NFS2 doesn't have that in real life), instead it had "track 1a", "Track 2b", and so on. bear with me, 'cause this is weird: to change to the normal tracks, you'd press up or down... which didn't exist because the visual was all that existed. I did anyways. ....okay. But then by pressing right or left (again, how the heck was I doing that?), I could switch to tracks like 2a, 1c, 3a, 4e, etc. I selected/loaded 2a (I think), which deposited me in a first-person shooter setting. I wandered around, knowing I was in a video game, and picked up a MASSIVE gun. Kind of like what Heavy uses in "Team Fortress II", but longer and more hi-tech. I hoisted it onto my shoulder and messed around with the keys (again, HOW the heck was I doing that?!?). After a minute of not figuring out what key to press to load it, I put it back down and wandered into a side room of the over-populated compound that was the setting. Inside the room, there were maybe four or five people, and I went over and started to talk to the bored girl in the corner. She was... the girl from my previous dream! Then I became (as I call it now) passively lucid. I was lucid, but I didn't start jumping around the place and freaking out. To clarify, I had tried to WILD back into my previous dream by mentally repeating that I would "wake" back into the dream next to the girl so that I could punch the lights out of the hobo. Maybe that didn't happen, but I'm still happy to say that in a more MILD-ish sort of way, it worked. Anyways, back to the dream. As soon as I was lucid, I stopped having to control my dream-self by "pressing" the right "buttons", (thank goodness), and could function normally and fully. I talked to the girl about nothing memorable, and I poked her on the nose. I didn't have to explain to her (but I'll explain to you) that it's a thing I do to close friends. Random quote that stuck with me: "You know, you would really be more fun to talk to if you were wearing clean underwear." Okay, for one how did she know that? And for two, what the heck is that supposed to be? An awkward pickup line? Anyways, after probably almost a half-hour, I got up and... Crud. Gap in my dream recall. Well, I do remember that I fought a little when the room got attacked, and when we moved to a different room (I was the last in) and I went to sit down by the girl and talk to her some more, there was her slightly possessive older brother there. And... I woke up soon after. BUT THE DEVIL HIMSELF CAN'T DENY THAT I WAS LUCID AND IT WAS CLEAR AS DAY WALKING AROUND THAT DREAM!!!
3-22-12 I had left what must have been my dorm and headed down the road toward what I think was the cafeteria when I noticed that it was going to rain. Not wanting to get wet, I quickly ducked into a building on my right. The door was locked, but whoever had locked up the building must have forgotten to shut the door properly, because it had not latched, so I was able to go in. Inside, there were two staircases made like fire escapes: corrugated metal patterns that you can see through. I took the one on my right up a floor and found a door in the wall (that would have led outside, I think) and another flight. After going up another floor, I noticed that it was raining heavily outside. As I wandered around the building, more and more there were no solid walls, and more and more these metal staircases were the only thing in this 30x100 foot building. Then the hobo showed up. I call him that because I'm not sure what else to call him. He wore a grimy old torn suit coat over a dirty shirt, pants, and a beat-up top hat; he looked like he must have walked out of the pages of a Mark Twain novel or something. Either way, he began mumbling pretty much incoherently and never stopped, even when I ran. (he was really creepy, okay? And it seemed that he was going to get was he wanted out of me however he needed to.) In general, I just legged it around, tromping up and down the 4+ floors of these clanky, see-through fire-escape-staircases inside what I had thought was a classroom hall. >_< All the while, the hobo trailed after me, mumbling like a mentally retarded 12-year-old. He often referred to someone who he seemed to oppress him by not giving him what he wanted all the time; someone he called "Mr. Slippy". At one point, a girl in her later teens showed up through a ground-floor side door, but she didn't seem to mind the hobo, and I didn't stop to talk to her. I remember that there was a very shallow flight of stairs that I ran... across, more or less. It had a rise of maybe four feet and a run of thirty or forty. I say across, because it was pivoted in the middle and really just landed me on the floor as before. I went up a few more levels and saw ahead of me the girl and the hobo standing there, the one being silent (as usual) and the other mumbling (as usual) and yet again mentioning "Mr. Slippy". I ducked (really hairpin-turned) to my right and saw to playplace-style tube slides, both wet and both going down. Glancing over my shoulder and seeing the hobo shuffling over toward me, I dove into the slide on the right, which returned me to ground level and the door I had first come through. Well... I exited the building without any regret (it had even stopped raining) and continued to walk to lunch. Along the way, I joined one guy who seemed nice, and I asked him about the hobo. I don't remember all that he said, bud he seemed to think they guy was pretty harmless, which is believable since the girl earlier didn't seem to think differently. We were about to enter the cafeteria when my alarm clock went off The thing that scared me about the hobo (as far as I can tell), is that he seemed to be one of those retarded (literally) people that doesn't want to hurt you, but complains about everything and will get insanely upset if you don't agree or if you won't share what he wants with him. And somehow I didn't have the guts to just take and give a good beating? Eh. As soon I turned off my alarm, I noted that I wish I had been lucid so that I could have beaten some contentedness into the hobo. :/ Call me morbid, but I really just wanted the guy to stop complaining.
I was sitting in the back seat of the car and my brother was driving. I saw a picture and it was the two planets wallpaper I had on my laptop. Then he passed the street he was supposed to turn onto, so he did a really quick u-turn, stopping in front of someone's lawn. When we got out of the car we were only a few inches tall, and had to walk across through the grass. It was up to my chest.
I had two dreams. The first was set in my home. I was downstairs talking to my sister, when these strange monsters began to appear all over the house! They were people, but had mutated, and looked like moths! We ran up the stairs and went into my sister's room, shutting the door. But inside the room the boss mothman appeared! He walked past my sister, and kidnapped me! When far enough away he spoke in a gruff voice, saying he has no grudge against me, just my sister. But if I annoy him, he won't hesitate to punish me! With those words said he then wrapped his hand around my neck to demonstrate! The second dream, I was followed around by a spirit girl. She looked only about 7 or 8 years old. She saw that I lacked in confidence and said I could save a person's life! Someone had fallen down the school stairs, and their body was in a terrible state. I said I can't, because I've never had any training before. When I turned to walk off she grabbed me, and took me up the stairs, saying she'd tell me what to do!
This may have only been semi-lucid, because I went along with the plot of the dream a lot, but it was still nice. I was taking a boat to an island with people I didn't know. I was excited for it. The line to get on the boat was long, but it ended up moving really quickly. Someone said that the boat only came once every 20 hours in real time. I was a bit worried that it would fill up before I got to it, but I ended up getting on fine. We arrived at the island, and I'm not sure at what point I became lucid. I did a nose plug RC to make sure. At one point I tried walking at a tree and believing really hard that I could walk through it, and it worked. When I was going around doing stuff, my eyes felt a bit sore, like they were kind of dry and tired, but I felt myself slipping away if I closed them for too long. There was a meeting at a building on the island, where we were going to talk about games we were going to play and stuff. I think there was a game where we all had to turn into animals, because I was thinking about how I would turn into a cat. I got to the building before the meeting started. The inside was all light exposed wood, and there were lots of people there. It was big, too, with really high ceilings. I started talking to this guy, and he wanted to see my deviantART. I pulled out my phone to try to navigate to it and show him, but it was really difficult. The phone wasn't working very well, and I was having a hard time typing my name. I think I managed to show him a bit of it, but ended up giving up. I was only slightly aware I was dreaming at that point. Then the meeting was going to start, and I was a bit more aware. I wanted to stick around for the meeting, but I didn't want it to be boring, so I decided I would fly around during it. I imagined pink feathered angel wings growing out of my back, and somehow managed to make it happen. I shot into the air and started swinging on lights and decorations and such that were hanging from the ceiling. That's all I can remember now. The dream felt like it had been really really long when I woke up, but I'm sure it skipped sections to make it feel like that.
I am sent into a some tomb, I think as a dare, and it is filled with non-human skeletons and undead monsters. Coffins pull me in towards them, and when I get close enough to them, they open to reveal their contents. (I don't remember what was in them, or how I got away from them) A little kid is sent in to the tomb with me. He gets scared, and plans to escape. The perspective shifts to a more cinematic 3rd person view. I see the outside of the tomb, where the people that sent me and the kid inside the tomb are standing outside. The door opens, and the kid throws a cloak at one of the people, and they believe the cloak is a demon. (apparently the cloak was a cloak worn by the demons in the tomb, so they thought a demon had attacked them. I think the kid killed a demon and took it's cloak for this purpose) The kid took advantage of their fear, and took the cloak and ran. When we was out of sight, he put the cloak on as a disguise. He is on a dirt road next to a large town. People are riding horses across the road, some are carrying cargo. The kid gets on the back of a horse, still wearing the cloak. People that see him flee, because it is a bad omen to see a demon riding on the back of a horse. (switch to an older man and a younger woman at a lake nearby. still in 3rd person) Apparently the older man is a hunter or a fisherman, and the woman is just tagging along. The man sees what appears to a dead fish floating in the middle of the lake, and he goes off to get it. As he goes through the water, dead animals start turning up in the water. (switch to 1st person view of older man) First, a patch of about 10 dead birds float up to the surface as he wades through the water. More and more animals start turning up as he swims through the water. He reaches the dead fish, but then another fish turns up next to it. Then another fish, and then 2 more. Realizing what was about to happen, he turns around to swim back to the surface. But right when he does so, every fish in the lake comes up. I feels the sickening, fleshy feeling of fish moving up my body quickly as the man in covered from head to toe in dead fish. I awaken disgusted.
Dream One: I was at the river, in a sail boat. I see a tipped over sail boat, and decide to pull on a string attached to it to right it. I pull the string inland, but just as I'm about to reach the dock the string pulls me backwards and almost off my boat and into the water before I let go! I look back, and the sail boat has become a cruise ship and has tipped. I turn to look for someone to help, then turn back and it's a sinking Pirate ship. I wake up. Dream Two: I'm watching something about Psychic warfare on TV. My mom is there and when I ask her a question about the show, she tells me to talk to her Friend R, because R knows everything about psychic stuff. I ask R, and she starts to give me an answer, then she starts talking in Gibberish. I ask her what she's talking about, and she says she doesn't know. I ask her about Psychic warfare again and she tells me there's no such thing and not to be silly! Then I suddenly know there are soldiers outside the house and they're going to try to silence me because R did know something and let it slip before they rewrote her memories. A smoke bomb flies through my window, then I wake up. Dream Three: There were Skylanders in the dream but that part is fuzzy and I don't remember anything but seeing legendary Trigger Happy on the screen. Then my husband was talking to his father about snakes in the yard with swollen bodies. (This was during my nap because I only slept 2 hours last night due to sick kids and thunder storms) The snake and swollen body bit was actually reality bleeding into my dream. My husband had Skyped my brother in the living room in the front of the house (I was in the bedroom in the back of the house) and the kids were watching my brother feed his pet snake. My husband was asking how long the snakes body would be swollen with the mouse inside it, and apparently I heard it in my sleep and my dreams attempted to explain this.
Saturday, 3/24/12 ***day 2 of awareness*** 5-HTP 11:40 pm, bed 12:43am DR 2:39 LDing, DV site, posts DR 5:19 LDing, DV, members WBTB 5:19 - 6am DR RD10 - The end of the world came sooner than dec.2012, by 4-6 month. Either mayans miscalculated, or Earth rotation slowed down. I'm outside of a store on street where my high school is. I see 3-4 huge black boulders falling to the earth. They are covered in fire and smoke, huge smoke tails trailing them. I tell another pedestrian to look at that. >> I'm home on RD10. I look outside the hall entrance and there is a lion on he street. I quickly close the door, as he is coming closer. There are lions other places too, I guess the ZOO must have gotten hit. We send some kids to hide in the cellar. Everybody else is at my aunts apartment. I'm going to get the kids back now. More boulders are falling. One of them is flying overhead, slows down and changes direction straight for us. But it flies over and lands at other part of town. DR 9:45 Aliens are bombarding the Earth. After bombing stopped, I go outside. I have to go to pet store to get food for my kitten. People are moving their wounded and some are going away. I make it to the pet store. It's opened. They have the food. I give the guy $11.46. But he says, it costs 17.46. I get upset and he doesn't want to sell me the food. Then I remembered, that i took some extra money and have $18 on me. >>I'm in some kind of apartment building, where rooms are in a row, separated only by doors. The aliens are going door to door and checking something, taking some people away. I realize, we can destroy them with salt. So everybody gets a salt shaker and pour, throw and spit salt at the aliens. >> My chakras on my palms are opening. There are wounds in shape of lotus petals and the flowers are opening and closing. It looks nasty and you can see the inside of my hands. Somebody shows me something inside by touching it and it hurts.
Thursday, 3/22/12 5-HTP 10:50pm, bed 12am DR 1:50 I'm telling someone how to LD. Instead of squishing a spider black widow, I put him on my arm and want to squish him there. But I miss and now I expect him to bite me. DR 3:51 WBTB 5 - 6am Tried to WILD but kept loosing images because of lots of thoughts. I thought about what would I do, if my current job offered to relocate me close to my hometown where my family lives, but it's thousands of miles from where I live now and I like it here. ***NEW*** first time red and blue HI DILD 7:50 am 5min. long I'm talking to a friend of mine in SK, if she would room with me, if I relocated to work to B. in SK. I'm in college. I'm sitting outdoors, at a picnic table with a guidance counselor, talking about relocating to another college. She tells me about this school in Texas, that has excellent programs. Another person sits next to us and she is telling me about some other schools. As I listen to them, I decide to have an OBE. I lean my head back, so I don't slip off the chair, and I hope, the counselors don't wake me up thinking I had passed out. I have headrush & I'm in a dream awake, somewhere over street next to old poliklinik. I'm hovering. It's night and everything is black and grey. I say 'clarity' and some patches of color appear on trees and grass underneath them. I yell it 2 more times and everything blossoms in brilliant, warm colors. I decide to see my family. Start to fly over rooftops in their direction. I think about stabilizing and slow down, touching the roof tiles. Tiles are nice terracotta colors. There is one part, that's metallic. I can distinctly feel the sheet metal under my fingers. Then I hear helicopters. I turn and there are two police helicopters, circling and shining at something in the middle on the ground. I hear gunfire. At first I think it's one helo shooting at another and I'm worried I won't be able to help now. As I get closer, I see that they are getting shot at from the ground. The area is well lit and I say 'find me some bad guys' and I see them running around. I want to stop and help the helos, but having little trouble controlling my flight. >> Next, I'm on the ground in police infirmary. A police dog, german shepard is wounded. I think he got shot, but they tell me, he got bit by a snake. I put my hand on him and try to heal him. I keep saying 'snake bite'. He stirs. A tech walks up to irrigate his wound. To his surprise, he says, the wound has shrunk and swelling is down

Wednesday, 3/21/12 DR 3:35 It's an post apocalyptic world. People live underground in old buildings, industrial like, big elevators. We finally find them. They clothes are torn and worn out. We joke, that everybody will want to be our friend now. I feel like we just came back from a successful mision. And really, they are offering us their coats - it's cold. But we don't take them. Someone gives us pieces of foam and strips of cloth and shows us a box with more. We are suppose to make shoes out of it. DR Outside of RD10. We look at the moon obscured by some kind of wapors, chem trails and we compare it with pictures. They match, but they are both wrong. I can tell, that what we see as face of the moon is something completely different. We remember, the moon used to look differently. WBTB 3:35 - 4:20 Just reg. dreams, no recall
Tuesday, 3/20/12 bed at 12am, couldn't fall asleep for 1 ½ hrs. DR 6am WBTB 6 - 6:05 am ( I just read about CAT and WILD CAT on http://www.neurosoup.com/lucid_dreaming_main.htm, so I wanted to try it. DILD/OBE? 9am I'm in a class (looks like english class in Hotelka) with desks arranged in the rectangle. My friend Marcela Ch. is sitting next to me. I'm sleepy and as I realize I'm falling asleep, I tell her not to wake me up, I'll be dreaming (I remember slightly waking up to this and actually mouthing the words IWL). I fall asleep and immediatelly starting to feel some motion sensations. I add rotating to it (axis is my torso) and I'm spinning quite fast. To this I say "I'm out" and I quickly rise up. I realize I'm dreaming and out. But I also notice that i didn't go far enough and get pulled right back. I wake up. Wednesday, 3/21/12 DR 3:35 It's an post apocalyptic world.

Recall Start: "I'm Dreaming?!" I realize aloud, though no one around me seems to notice particularly. "I don't know how long I have left here, so we're going to have to make it count" I am standing in a corridor, several of the cast members of Persona 3 are gathered around. I have blue hair (Like the main character in persona 3) we are discussing a plan to do something. There has been an outbreak of shadows and we need to do something to stop it. We figure out the plan and go down an elevator. Blackness. while the elevator is descending, my consciousness shifts to outside the building, shadows are everywhere, feeding off of each other. Akihiko is doing his best to keep them at bay, but he is caught off guard when a shadow absorbs him. the shadows start absorbing each other, it becomes chaos. I return to my dream body as the elevator touches down. we are on the bottom floor of a complex. it is crawling with shadows. we dispatch two in succession as we make our way through the maze. I briefly ponder if I should tell them Akihiko's fate, but I decide it would be better not to, to keep their minds on the mission at hand. I find a blob of shadow as big as two men laying down foot to head across, I am about to engage it, but I realize everyone else is fighting. I get out of the room it is in, and assist the others. I am too late, they are all injured and need first aid. I think... where could I get some first aid? I know there is a box at the top floor where we came from. Then I remember seeing first aid kits around on the walls. I go to them. Each med-kit is 100 yen each, I buy them one at a time and take each to one of the three squad mates that descended with me. I get the last person healed and wake up, one minute before my alarm goes off.
First dream in a fresh journal. Woot! As I am restarting dream journaling, I am not recalling complete dreams, so this is just a fragment but I thought it was funny. A friend of mine was getting drunk with my roommate. I was off doing something else and I came home to her throwing up on the carpet. She had a toy poodle sitting next to her and told me that was drunk and she was trying to teach her poodle through imitation, 'cause it was drinking too. I forgot about the bizarre logic and backwards-rationalization used in dreams. This one put me in a good mood for the day.
Normal Dream False Awakening Night 16 I. It is night and I am outside with my brother and this person I do not recognize. We were doing something, it is one of my earlier dreams so it is pretty unclear, but it had something to do with money. I remember this person was trying to scam us, or something along those lines, when we were not going to give him our money. We ended up going into our garage and locking the door behind us, but the locks were faulty and kept coming undone when the person was hitting the door. We go out and confront him and he is mad, and all I remember doing is pushing him and he tripped to the ground, after that the dream fades. II. This is another one that I am having a hard time remembering all of the details. I am in the small city part of where I live, and I am at the main intersection at night, but it was like it was part of a movie or something. Looking around everything seemed to be destroyed, like a war has been taking place, and there was a big group of people that I joined which looked like soldiers. All of a sudden I look up at the sky and it was like the sky from Halo, how you can see the entire ring up in the sky. At this point it was really vivid and I almost became lucid because I kept asking myself, "How could this be real?", but before I actually realized it was a dream a huge explosion took place. Everyone started panicking and running everywhere, this caused me to stop the questioning and start running. I found myself entering this bomb shelter like latch, but it actually took me to a sewer, and suddenly two of my friends I knew from school were with me. We go through a gate where there is a zombie that we kill, so now it is actually a zombie pandemic lol, and then we ran into this room we found. It was like a bed room, at first we were looking for supplies, but there were beds there and we just started to chill there, this is when the dream ends. III. I am walking with my two brothers and my father down one of my back dirt roads heading back to our house. The road goes through a forest and small river and when we go over the bridge I notice that there is actually a panther in the woods walking towards us, he came right up to us and we didn't want to do anything to make him attack us so we are trying to stay calm for the hope that he leaves. He was first attracted to my brothers snack he was eating, so my brother threw it into the woods and the panther went to eat it. We jogged up the road a little ways away from him, but as soon as he we done eating he ran back to us, he wasn't aggressive in any way so we just stayed calm and were hoping he would just leave. I remember he started licking my hands, he was really nice and friendly but again we were still timid around him, and then we stared walking back to our neighborhood. A school bus actually comes up to us and opens the door, I think the driver was trying to help us, but we were not paying much attention and he drove away lol. We get to our neighborhood when some kids came up to us, we were telling them to leave in case he started attacking us, but they were not leaving. I then remember telling my brother to go get his car so we can lure him away while we are in a car, so we can drive away once he got back into the woods. While we were discussing it, animal control came and then they used some spray that knocked the panther out so they can take it away from here, I asked them not to kill it as I love animals and they said they would not. This is the time that I woke up. IV. I had a false awakening where I got up and got on my computer, I did a reality check and realized it was indeed a FA, but the dream faded right after.
