DreamLucidAwake

Once again I didn't daydream about anything in particular. I just wanted to become lucid. That may have influenced the last dream. It's also possible that I may have had spiders on my mind at one point.

Tunnel of Spiders

I'm really not sure how to describe this dreamscape. I guess it was sort of like a Colorado dessert with all of the giant rocks and crap. I was walking around the lower area of a mountain with Claire. We were walking along a set of railroad tracks for some time just talking about something. It was probably something important that I really wanted to know. Somewhere in this I either became lucid because of the conversation or because I remembered Claire is a dream guide.

The tracks led towards a tunnel that was blocked by some really tough spider webs. There was a small cave to our left with a huge brown spider standing in it. Not really huge, but it was like bigger than my foot. It just sat there watching our every move.

Claire pointed her sword at it and said, "Go kill it."
"What? Why?" I asked.
"Those webs won't disappear unless it dies." She said.
"Why do I have to do it though?" I asked her.
"Because you're dragonborn!" She yelled.
"There is no way I'm dealing with anymore dream spiders!" I shouted.

As I said this the spider from the cave behind me started running towards me. My danger sense alerted me and I started running from it. I kept running in circles as it kept trying to bite my ass. Claire nearly killed me a few times while trying to slash it with her sword. Eventually the spider did jump on me. I grabbed it and threw it on the ground before it could bite me. Claire then stabbed it with her sword repeatedly until the spider stopped twitching. I crawled onto the ground and curled into a ball.

"I hate spiders, I hate spiders, I hate spiders..." I kept repeating.
"Don't be such a baby." Claire said.
"It tried to eat me!" I screamed.
"Get off the ground already. We have a job to do." She ordered me.

As I got up, I heard a rumbling sound. I looked down the tracks and saw a train coming. The train slowed down until it stopped in front of the tunnel. Chris stuck his head out the window and waved to us. Apparently he was driving the train.

"All aboard!" Chris yelled to us.
"What's with the train?" I asked him.
"You want to make it through the tunnel alive don't you?" He asked me.

Claire climbed the ladder onto the top of the train and I followed her. Once I reached the top, the train blew its whistle and started moving again. As It moved towards the tunnel I saw hundreds and hundreds of those giant brown spiders along the tunnel ways.

"Oh F***..." I said staring at all of them.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Claire said trying to build my confidence.
"Nope, I'm out of here." I said walking back towards the caboose.

Claire grabbed my hand and pulled me back. She then forced me into a battle stance as the train went into the tunnel. Claire started charging her lightning magic in her one hand to create a light source. I could now see thousands of spiders swarming around the tunnel. A few of them tried jumping at Claire, but she slashed them with her sword. A few of them jumped at me and I just slapped them away. My heart was racing and I couldn't really think clearly out of fear. 10 or more of them soon surrounded me in my confusion. Claire then jumped between me and them and started defending me. Each time one tried to jump at me she would rush in and slash it with her sword.

"Calm down, I won't let anything bad happen to you." Claire told me.
"Okay." I said.

Seeing her slash spiders to pieces and saying that to me calmed me down some. I could still only punch and slap spiders though. I wasn't thinking about using any of my powers. Claire did a really awesome move with her lightning. She threw a ball of lightning at some spiders and it exploded into bunch of lightning bolts that killed many spiders.I looked at Claire and saw that she was getting exhausted. An extra big one snuck behind her an jumped at her. She turned around and tried to slash it, but she was too late. It held her down and started clawing at her (these spiders had claws).

This really angered me and I gave myself dragon hands. I gripped the spider's stomach with my claws and lifted it off of Claire. I ripped the spider's stomach open and threw it off of the train. Claires blood seemed to have attracted hundreds of other spiders who were previously docile. I tried to get Claire back up, but she could barely move. As the spiders moved closer I realized it was up to me to protect her this time.

I stood above Claire and created a shield of fire around us. It burned every spider that touched it, but they were starting to overpower it. I was really starting to struggle to keep the shield up. Claire then started to wake up a little.

"Release your fury..." She said.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Do it." She said before passing out again.

I really started to get angrier at this point and sort of understood what she meant. My whole body started glowing with a purple energy and my fire shield grew more poweful. I slowly let this power build up inside me. When it was full, I let out a powerful draconic roar and shot the flames out in both directions. I felt much more calm and relaxed after releasing my fury. Unfortunately this was a really long tunnel and there was another wave of spiders coming. I looked down at Claire to see how she was doing. She was more awake now and she took a drink of what looked like a healing potion. Her cuts started to heal and she sat up. She wasn't capable of standing anymore though, so I still had to fight alone.

I suddenly remembered Neji from Naruto using the 16 triagrams 128 palm thing on over a hundred spiders. I decided to mimic this with my fire element. I charged fire magic into my hands and got into the stance. All of the spiders started swarming in towards me. I rappidly hit all of them with my fire hands while circling around Claire. My main goal until we got out of the tunnel was to protect her. A bunch of them then jumped at me from all angles. I spun around and created a wave of fire in all directions to kill them. After all of this the train finally exited the tunnel. After getting a good distance away from the tunnel, Chris stopped the train.

I carried Claire on my back and climbed down the ladder. I walked to the front of the train to see what all of this trouble was worth. In the distance from the mountain I could see a bunch of floating islands. They were hidden in the clouds and had a bunch of dragons flying around them. I got too excited after this and woke up.

Flying Over Stormreach

A pretty short lucid dream (because I forgot most of it). I had just grown dragon wings and was flying above the ocean. I was flying towards Stormreach's harbor off in the distance. I flew over the city and was amazed by it. Some general guy then started yelling at me something about having to go one a mission with a bunch of other soldiers. I just ignored him and went looking for some friends to quest with instead. I flew over a gate and landed in a street. I saw a horse carriage running full speed down the street at some guy who wasn't paying attention. For some reason I recognized this guy as Colton/Coolb3rt. I jumped in and grabbed Colton. I used my shadow magic to turn both of us into shadows so that we would phase through the carriage. I know a lot more happened in this dream, but I just can't seem to remember.

A Lucid Contract

I was in a school like place called the "Lucid Academy". I most likely became lucid due to the name of the place. For the most part it looked like a normal highschool, but you would see kids practicing magic, summoning things, and flying all over the place. I was walking down the hall and talking to Chris about something before we bumped into some girl. She looked completely confused about everything that was happening.

"Where am I? What's happening here?" She asked.
"You're dreaming." I told her.
"I am?"
"This is the Lucid Academy." Chris told her.
"I don't want to lucid dream!" She yelled.
"What? Why wouldn't you want to lucid dream?" Chris asked.
"Because it's scary!" She said.
"Okay, let's get this straight. In a lucid dream you can do ANYTHING you want!" I said.
"Yeah, it's really fun." Chris said.

Chris then summoned a large piece of paper. He mentioned something about signing a "lucid contract" and training the girl. Oddly he wasn't going to sign it, but wanted me and the girl to sign it. He handed me the blank paper and a marker to sign. I handed it back to Chris and he examined it as if he was checking to see if it was legitimate. I watched the girl write her name on it. It was hard for me to read, but I think it was either Carly or Molly written on it. She handed it back to Chris and he examined it again.

"Alright, it's official! You will make her become lucid every night from now on." Chris said.
"Wait what?" I asked confused.
"Oh you didn't know?" Chris asked me.
There was a long pause before I asked the girl, "So are you lucid yet?"

She just sat there motionless wiith a blank expressionless stare. I waved my hand in front of her face to try to get her attention. With no response I could only assume she woke up or something.

"I don't do that everytime I wake up do I?" I asked Chris.

He laughed, but didn't give me a clear response. I spent the last minute of the dream trying to get the girl's attention.

End

Dream 2/14
I was on 4th ave changing clothes in this little alcove, getting ready to go out for a night. I had a new pair of shorts and when I put them on I was disappointed to see that there was a larger spot of grease (I thought it was brake fluid) on one leg already. When I took them off I realized it was a boil on my thigh that had popped and drained its pus. I messed with it but it seemed to be all drained. Friends were impatiently awaiting me somewhere I knew, but I decided that getting drunk didn’t sound too great, so I decided to leave, (this area was the Arcosanti commune like I noticed).

And so I walked into the night, and trudged up this dirty road with half finished construction of downtown Tucson on all sides. I was looking for a place to park, even though I was on foot, and as I started walking towards a good spot I noticed a sign wired to a chain-link that said “parking $5” and a guy approaching me ready to collect so I spun on my heal like Bo-Jangles and walked off. Then I realized I was close to my old shop, and when I came to a new shop whose property line and fence blocked off the road, I climbed over it. Inside was a woman who’d come the other direction in her Prius, realized she was blocked, and decided to turn around. I felt that I could just pick up the road again once I crossed the property. It was a Caterpillar construction repair place, and the owner was still there even late at night, although it was now more like evening. I talked to him and a guy that reminded me of Carrot Top I listened to the owner describe the coming economic collapse set to occur “Monday” when the stock market re-opened. He used the term “pregnant market” to describe various problems. He went on to talk about how he was ready to weather any storm out here on the outskirts of Tucson. The red-head guy left to his small property nearby, and I said goodbye and that I was going to keep walking.

The sky was dark with thunderheads and as I walked past the last buildings into the sonorant desert, there was a flash of lightning. It also might have been my imagination flashing and illuminating this mountainside for what I remembered it as before the drought. It was steep, ascending up away from me into the clouds, and covered in pockets of green, (desert palm trees like in the Kofa Mountains).Then the reality returned and there was little green. But I could see a family of contemporary African foragers quickly running along a path skirting the side of the mountain. I walked quickly up and intersected them, and said hello to the parents but I made them nervous and so they just nodded and walked faster. I ended up in the back with their three kids, 10yrs or younger, all boys I think. The wind blew hard and it was difficult to keep my footing on the tiny deer paths in the grass that we followed. The youngest boy tripped and spilled his basket of raspberries everywhere, and they scrambled to collect them as the parents hurried on. I didn’t know what language to speak so hoping they’d know English or Spanish I yelled “Here! Here! Aqui! Aqui!” pointing to a huge berry them missed. The middle boy replied in his language which I didn’t understand but I took him to say “you can have it”.
We were now running through Cyprus trees that were thrashing in the wind, and the boy was having trouble getting up these huge wooden steps dug into the mountain going straight up. The steps were old and sticking up so they made you trip sometimes, and I took a minute to lever one up with a stick, and take out the obstruction that kept it from sitting flat. It was a thick book of childrens stories, one I used to have as a kid that was blue with a burgundy box around the gold lettered title (don’t remember what it was). I kept the book and showed the boy the best stride to take to move faster, and we ran on with no one else in sight. Soon we did get to his house, a hobbit house built into the mountain, and his mom who reminded me of a Kenyan friends mom greeted me and thanked me for helping her son (in English), and her husband was there lighting candles. Their house was huge and made of wood, with tree trunks hewn into rough rectangular pillars holding up the ceiling beams. George showed me to his library and was surprised that I had found the book, because he found copies of the same one up there all the time on the mountain, and collected them. The mother talked to me of their preparation for a resource war and how she was training her boys in martial arts.

Then the dream shifted and I was talking to my dad as I watched my relatives frolicking in their fields. And he was talking about his mom and how his side of the family tended to have excellent relationship skills, that they were such “superb halves of a relationship bubble, that when they found another half, they were set”.

2-18-12(non-lucid): So, I was in a zombie apocalypse...Except I was a zombie. The zombies in this apocalypse could think, and weren't necessarily grotesque. The ones that looked normal (except for a very bright silver iris) were the ones affected from the first outbreak of the disease. I was one of those. Anyway, so I was with a fellow zombie and we were in a neighborhood, searching for people. All the houses were empty though, I might have found a skeleton and gotten a flashback, but I don't know if that's my mind just trying to fill in for the boringness of going through houses. Then there were zombie hunters chasing after me, so I ran through a few houses and hid on the second floor of one house and I saw their truck pull up to the house and I ran down the stairs as fast as I could and ran out the back door. Then at the next house over a van pulled up with a woman in the back (who was human) and said she needed help rescuing her friends in the capital. I got in the van and Rajin was there and I was a zombie no longer and I got in the driver's seat and drove out of there. It was night (as usual) and I drove through a countryside, a bit of boring driving that I thankfully forget, and then we arrived in the city...which was overrun with zombies. In the outer parts of the city they didn't know they were dead and felt like voicing that. Quite a few were yelling with disbelief "I'm not dead! I can't be dead!" So we pretty much ignored them and ran towards a roman looking building. Here, in the heart of the city was a massacre. There was fire and zombies killing people. I turned towards the woman and said "They're probably dead by now." She didn't care though, she needed to see for herself. So, we all ran inside, machine guns drawn and these people came out of nowhere. I freaked and one yelled. "Don't shoot! We're not infected!" A group and I headed up the stairs and I thought "We can just go out the front entrance!" So I headed down to Rajin's group. He explained we couldn't because there were too many and he smiled a little scary and said we were heading for the boiler room, which could contain an entrance. He showed me a map, which it was downstairs...in the dark...with red alarm lights going off everywhere...which meant something was down there...He rolled up the map and said everything would be fine and then I woke up.

I'm trying to improve my recall, and this is the first long dream of the week;

I am in a (dream) house (dream, meaning random, something I haven't seen before), in some sort of sleepover with my sister and her children and some random people (about 8+ people).
(Insert dream memory here) We end up in some forest, this part is especially blurry, were in a circle I think, some random bum is talking weird, and mentions something about the green leafs having healing abilities, he had like a pot of boiling water with green leaves in it or something, it smelled funny (green leafs from an RPG game on my phone :p) and then said something important which I don't remember, kinda like "Also, never forget that..." <-- this is important as it affects my dream later on. I wake up.

I go back to sleep, I switch dreams, or remember a fragment from another one, I ended up in my English class, my English teacher is talking about dream recall, and saying how important it is to have a dream journal.. (lol) Anyways, I am in some bus and I have some sort of metal object in my hand that shines a laser light. Some guy in a suit walks in and sits down in the seat across from mine, he is looking for something, I feel a bit scared, as if I have the thing he is looking for. The guy in front of me, has a large orange object, I didn't look at it clearly, the guy in the suit has a large man following him (his body guard). He pulls out an FBI badge, and sort of announces it to everyone, "I am an FBI agent" he pulls out some paper and mentions about how he has the license to kill to solve cases, "he can kill me if he wanted to" I think in my head. (yes this is unreasonable) So then he says a few other things and his bodyguard sort of makes fun of him by saying "Sure, mr. Green" a reservoir dogs reference, dunno how it made sense in the dream, I point my laser at the orange thing object the person in front of me carried. (I forget what happens after this) I end up in a forest with a group of people, and we are all wounded. I am sort of limping forward through the forest, incredible worn out, wounded (and safe in my bed xD). It's all a bit blurry, I think I am either the least wounded, or something I end up ahead of the pack, them being about 50 meters behind me in the (colorful btw) forest. I have a flashback? I remember the bum talking about the green leafs being able to heal. To my right I see a bunch of neon colored plants, purple, pink, orange... and green! I limp to it, and turn around to tell the people behind me, I see one of them fall to the ground, I think, man he/she didn't make it, maybe I can go give that person some after I heal myself (I see the situation as a game, where you simply heal and recover from serious fatal damage). Then I see (there was 3 people) the other 2 people fall as well, I am scared. I see the FBI agent clearly (even though he was at a distance), he had his business clothes ripped, his shirt ripped to his shoulders, and his pants looked like shorts. He had something red in his hand, and was walking towards me, "this is it" I think, I thought he had a gun, but I later see it's a knife (lucky me). He walks towards me, and I limp away, my limp later turned into jogging, as I remembered that important thing that bum said to me in the previous dream (I don't remember) haha I know it was important, because it helps me run. I step into an industrialized urban city with grey like colors. I see the agent come towards me, and I think about what the bum said to me. I know think, "Should I run away? (because I healed?), or fight him and ask him what he means?" I knew he was a dream character that represented something, but I didn't know I was in a dream!!!. So I still feared for my life. He is but a few meters away from me, he starts doing some crazy Bruce Lee like things as a way of taunting me, yelling in karate yells. He has a shuriken-like weapon the size of my backpack and he uses it like a nunchuck. I think maybe I could fight him a little and then ask him, or I can ask him and then fight. Still concerned for my life I decided to simply ask him, and maybe he would go away. I point my finger at him and say, "What do you represent?", His voice distorts as he says (well it is calm/yelled/spoken at the same time) "(something something) the one that you want." I think he might have said I'm the one that you want but I can't be too sure, as he said that I noticed waking up.

my dream starts out future based sky is red and everything around me is either blown up or destroyed. I hear yelling and gunshots and figure out im in a war and the war is based on who will rule Earth us, humans or the species that we were fighting. i am geared out pretty well and what i see is us and those creatures in a big field crowded together jus fighting like theres no tomorrow in which this dream probably wasen't . the creatures were geared up like us also and i kept getting confused on who was who. but, anyways i get tired of bieng in a trench and run out and charge towards a creature and it charges towards me i pull out the blade i have with me and when we meet face to face i stabb it it seems very effective but i look down and there was a blade in me also my eyes get real big the creatures laughs and i look past it and war is going on and i shout out i did this for my uncle i dont know why tho my uncle has been dead for a couple of years know. i fall to the ground my vision gets blurry i still see the war going on i close finally close my eyes i wake up and its a beautiful morning day.....

Friday night, decided to go out.. wasn't worth it, recall suffered.

1:00am
6:30am

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

Saturday night, I did remember a couple dreams, but I didn't write them down. I was imagining I was writing them though lol..

3:00am

Fragment: Me and some other people were looking around a city, I vaguely remember a fountain and multi-level carparks.

11:00am

1st Dream after setting intent. I sit in a windowless one room house. I like it. I get up to go outside. This one room little building is at the end of a paved path in the woods.

It is a friendly garden that I have fashioned into a natural woodland.

I turn again to my little one room building. I push the door open. I can see half the room and there is a 7 on the innerwall to my left.

Curious, I step into my room.

Behind the door is the other half of the little room and on that wall is a small number, (a digit) 2.

I wake.

It is now 11:01 am and I've been up a couple of hours.

You see, I set the intent to dream next Saturday's lotto draw 3193 and that was my only remembered dream. Last night I counted to 45 slowely Three times while watching and feeling the body go to sleep.

After a couple of hours thinking about the dream I think it was asking me to consider all fortyfive numbers as being made up of two halves of a whole. As in, say, the number one is not, (1) but, (0-1).

When the door is open only one side of the room is visible and the other half is not visible because it is behind the back of the door.

The number 72 is too big so I think the dream just used it as an example to get me to begin seeing all 45 numbers in two parts. One part visible on the left hand wall as I open the door and the other part as I step into the room and look at the right-hand wall behind the back of the door.

Still nothing special to tell about my recall, and I still haven't had the first lucid dream of 2012. I'm going to crank up the effort by having more consistent tries on WILDs. Meanwhile, the last dream from 2009 to enter in this journal.

Fear of Bodybuilders
Date: December 27th, 2009
Lucid: No

I was walking in what I thought was Helsinki, but it looked more like my hometown to be honest. Towards me there were these two guys walking, who looked like bodybuilders. I could have just gone by either side of them, but no, given that I was walking right in the middle of the sidewalk, I was stubborn and wouldn't budge - I was going to walk right between them.

You obviously already know that it isn't gonna end well. The right-sided guy, who had a moustache, had a wide, evil grin on his face as he grabbed me. I was fearing for my life, but the rational side of my mind also knew, that there would be no reason to kill me.

They pushed me around a bit before seemingly letting me go. But no, you don't think I would just walk away? No, I fuckin' flipped my finger at them! The guys were enraged and that seemed all the good enough reason for them to kill me. So I started running for my life, trusting that I can at least that well against those guys.

There was some kind of construction site next to me. The bodybuilders didn't waste time on chasing me, instead they just went there, picked up some tools and shit and started throwing it at me. Some were near misses, but I did get away unharmed.

Later I was in home and still terrified. I was afraid that the bodybuilders could somehow follow me there.

2/15/2012
While doing the laundry, I find out the machine came with complementary detergent. I press the button to dispense it. I get one large and three small jugs of detergent.

A girl I haven't seem since elementary school whose name I like is in my English class.

My mom is sleep-talking something about being suicidal. It's kind of disturbing, but it's still just sleep talk. She sticks me with the dog for my vacation. It's a large white poodle that looks neglected (my mom hasn't actually got a dog).

I arrive at the hotel room with the dog and my bag. I just booked my flight for tomorrow after getting here, but there's something else I need to do. For some reason I need headphones, but the only ones I can find are broken. I'm sure I packed working headphones. I make a mess while I'm looking, pulling everything out of my bag, but I don't find them. All of my stuff is so unorganized. It really bothers me. I go out to see if I can find some new headphones to buy, but I don't find anything.

When I get back, my things have been moved and I find two other people in my room: a man and his mostly grown daughter. We talk about random things while I try to put my belongings in order. I tell them I am going to Hawaii and that I have a couple of friends that go to college there. They say "no way!" I try to tell them the name of the university my friends go to, but I can't remember it.

It occurs to me I forgot about the dog, and I don't see him anywhere. I find him in the bathroom. Apparently the hotel staff put him there while I was gone. The other two people in my room have a dog, too. My books got put on the shelves, which are collapsing, and my books are all mixed in with the hotel's books. Several stacks of books fall onto the floor. It really, really bugs me to see books in that condition, but I have too many things to deal with right now to fix it. There is so much extra stuff in this room that I can barely move. There is a set of coins on the table that I didn't put there. The hotel staff left a barrette and a bunch of other crap here (I can't tell if it's complementary, or they charge you if you take it- regardless, I don't want any of this junk). I'm trying to ditch the unnecessary Hawaiian shirts I packed and get my bag ready for the flight tomorrow. I haven't even gone through it and made sure I didn't leave a knife or something in there by accident, which I am always afraid of doing anytime I have to deal with airport security.

I wake up. Blah, what a nightmare, having so much to do and not enough time and everything got messier the more I tried to organize things. I have enough of that sort of stress with going to college. I could do without in my dreams

I fall back asleep.

I'm playing Minecraft. There's a skeleton glitching through the wall (in a corner). I was on the other side of that wall earlier. I try to kill the glitchy skeleton, but I destroy the wall instead. I quickly finish off the skeleton and try to rebuild the wall. I don't have enough stone or cobbles. I frantically look through what I do have, to see if I can find something to finish patching the wall with. I almost use coal ore blocks, but then I decide to use planks instead.

My memory of this part is so fuzzy now, but I know I was lucid. I realized I was dreaming, somehow. There was a guy in a red plaid shirt. I almost forgot it was a dream, walking past some wood tables and chairs, but I reminded myself that it is a dream. At the end, there is a girl with special powers. Everyone is, or wants to, hold her captive because they are afraid of her.

I think I woke up, but it may have been a false awakening. It feels like I'm in SP now. I'm lying on my back, unable to move. My body rotates (or, depending which way you look at things, the room rotates), and my legs end up going through the wall nest to my bed. My body keeps moving, and I end up going all the way through the wall.

I'm in a car. It's very vivid. I take a minute to admire the details: the feel of the seatbelt, the soft interior lining. Kiki (from Sluggy Freelance) is here. I get out of the car. It's parked in a parking lot with construction materials, on a bit of land mostly surrounded by a lake. I tell Kiki to come with me. She jumps out of the car and scrambles up my shoulder. Everything goes fuzzy.

I feel like I'm in SP again. There is a slight but uncomfortable pressure on my midsection.

Now I'm on a sort of rollercoaster. It's a track twisting all around a pole, over this shallow elongated pool of cheesy muckiness. I don't see a rollercoaster car that I am in, but I am going along the rollercoaster. It's like I'm pulling myself along the tracks. My point of view ought to be rotating as I'm going along this twisting track, but it doesn't. I get to the end of the twisty part of the track. Now it goes straight, but I've somehow ended up on the underside of the track. This isn't right.

After the weird track thing, I walk across a bridge. I'm walking down a corridor and see a kid with short platinum blond hair that has a bit that sticks up. He reminds me of Harry Potter. I turn left, walking in his direction. There's a door here, different from all the other doors along the corridor (this place feels like a dormitory). The one odd door looks like it could be sealed from the outside, like a vault. I open the door and look inside. A girl with long black hair is in there. They fear her because she is a summoner. She's my daughter? My alarm goes off.

There is going to be a "history graph" tomorrow (in my Thread-DJ (click)). It won't be totally interesting because I haven't been marking my dreams with the app or actually using the reminders, but it will be a start for what's to come.

I was with Dread and I was lucid. We were in a video game palace room. The room was kind of small, but it had a porch. From the porch, I realized that this room was suspended in air. Some of the walls were made out of leafs, other glass, and some marble.

Dread was lucid as well. We were enjoying each other's company , but this annoying woman was invading our space. Somehow, we knew her name. Her name was Angel.

She kept trying to get in between us and/or kept trying to focus the attention on herself. We eventually managed to push her out of our dream.

I was playing around and showed Dread how I could pull energy out of myself and watch it suspend in the air. My energy was made up of two different elements: Feminine and Masculine. Words were written within the energies, and we watched as they slowly changed and morphed.

At one point, Dread got too excited and woke up. I knew he'd be back in a few minutes, so I spent some time fixing our palace. Some of the marble blocks were falling out of place, so I'd try to push them back in. It was difficult because they wanted to remain where they were, so they'd just snap back into their incorrect positions.

When Dread came back, I snapped to where he was, which was slightly different in terms of scene.

He rekindled my lucidness and we started talking about our dreams together, and the leafy palace.

Here I am not sure if what I said was a product of false dream memory, or if it was really true: But basically, I remembered that this was a common occurrence for us - that this lucid dream of a leafy castle was not the first, second, or third time that we have been here. That this happened often, but the dream memories usually were lost from deep sleep and stress.

I'm not sure whether to believe myself or not. I find that when I am closer to the dream state, AKA experiencing HH or about to enter a dream, I can recall dreams that I had forgotten before, which are verifiable when I wake up.

It was my turn to get too excited, and woke up.

I think I figured out how to mark my lucids/dreams on the graph, but I can only do it when the actigraph is still collecting data.

I was at my primary school and nobody was there, since it looked so creepy I decided to take a picture of one of the buildings. Once the photo had printed (seemingly out of nowhere) I looked at it to see a ghostly face in the window. I looked up at the real window and saw the spooky face still there, staring straight at me. Then it moved and I saw it was actually a school child, as it stepped outside I looked around to see that the playground was now filled with children (all of them playing dodgeball). I joined in for a while before going to help some kids on the monkey bars. They were't like the normal bars, I had to first balance it like a seesaw so a child could get on and then try and walk across. After I made a colourful square out of lego and said it could be used as my avatar on DV (Why did I not RC here!? ). Then I was outside the school looking for my headphones, I found a pair on the floor but they were the wrong ones and the wire was about 10 meters long. I went to the house I found them outside of and the old lady there said she'd found my pair, so we swapped and I went away. The dream ended.

I was walking down my lane with a girl with black hair (<-- HER AGAIN! I think she may be my DG or even another dreamer who always shares my dreams!). We were trying to escape the hold of the government and we'd tried everything we could. The only thing left which we could try was to fight. We continued to walk and I quickly text a friend to remind her of something (I think it was to charge her phone). Then once under the bridge at the end of my lane I drew the two swords off my back, the swords of a ninja. I saw what loked like an army of people coming towards us. The girl with black hair I noticed was unarmed so my priority was to protect her, I fought for our lives and must have slaughtered about 50 enemies. But suddenly one either caught me off guard or had a decent level of skill as they sent one of my swords flying. After a frantic battle I managed to gain my other sword back but it was broken. Even so I managed to kill the enemy. The dream ended here and what a brilliant one it was!

I was doing the last house on my paper round and the grass outside their house was abnormally long and overgrown. I reached the door and put the paper through, but then I heard the lady on the other side of the door say that she wanted the other paper (the one that I was holding). So I put that through too. Then I went up to the village shop with my mother and brother. I wanted to buy some peanut butter to help me get lucid (Why did I not RC here either!?!?!? ). Whilst I was looking among the shelves this shady looking man came up to me and tried to sell me something. I said no and he replied "Do you want me to teach you how to sell stuff and make alot of money?" I said yes. He then proceeded to pick up a book and after making it look well used he sold it for £15 which he then gave to me. But the price on the book actually said £50 in the first place so it wasn't a good method! I couldn't find what I wanted in the end so left and the dream ended.

I was at school and was hungry so I went down to the cafeteria. It was near the end of lunchtime so I knew there wouldn't be much food left, I grabbed a couple of sausages (<-- becoming a recurring theme) and ate them before heading off for my tutorial lesson. When I arrived I met up with my good friend R.B and to greet each other we kissed, she didn't seem phased by this at all. All the way through the lesson we kept kissing, getting more and more passionate every time. Luckily the lesson ended before it went too far, but so did the dream

Fragment: Castle

I actually got bits of a dream.

I recall I was cleaning out the front seat of a mini van, and as i was taking tons of shit out of the front seat, some asshole just walks around me and pops up into the seat, to which I asked him "you just going to sit there after I cleaned it all out?", I think he just said yep or nodded, something simple, so i just decided to not bother and just sit in the mid seat.

It started pissin me off as the vehicle started to move, so at a few seconds before it got any speed, i said fuck it again, pop the door open, and hopped out, chucking dr.pepper over the roof of the vehicle, having it land/pour down the front windshield of the passenger. Its almost like the car was taking a tour.... I forgot about the people inside.... and it just continued to move on, by my old neighborhoods.

I recall going through some classes, pretty much just leaving and ignoring said by the teacher. I wasn't supposed to be there in the first place, which is what i'd planned to say if i were stopped.

I got an interesting look around me..... everything was.... assembled wierdly..... just how you go from being outside to inside.... to beign in a building. Its likely it just seemed weird and i was just popping around a bit.

The people in my dream weren't shadowy at all, when I saw them, they look detailed like they are in real life.

I mostly walked around these rooms n places.... at least from what I can remember.... glad I can recall what i can :/

In many of my past dreams, especially the ones I take personal meaning from and learn from, there is usually a guiding, protective, or teaching figure watching over me. For some reason, this person always manifests himself as a big black guy haha.

I had a lucid dream this morning where I asked the dream for some guidance on a difficult situation I have been going through. Immediately a door opened in front of me. I walked through and saw a group of people. A tall older black man was among them. I walked up to him and asked if he was my guide. He nodded. I grew excited. I then asked for his name. He said, "Legend." I immediately felt the power behind the name, though it also reminded me of Will Smith from the movie "I am Legend." I was half in awe and half amused.
He then told me to follow him. I did. We sat down with a group of people eating the most delicious looking maccarroni and cheese I've ever seen. The whole time we were sitting there he kept making me laugh. He would make funny faces at me with mac and cheese all over his face, and I was laughing at it like I was a little kid. I felt like a little kid meeting his long lost father, and my dad in real life felt like more of a friend than a father compared to this figure. I remember him saying, "I love you," much like a father would to his kid...I said, "I love you too." The love emotion was overwhelming. I was crying for joy and laughing at the same time. It was absolute bliss.
...and then a text message woke me up haha.

In his own way, I believe the experience itself was the solution to my problem that I had inquired about in the first place. My guide was showing me to laugh and be joyful, rather than stress over my "problems."

DreamLucidAwake

I used my daydream awareness technique again before bed. I didn't feel like daydreaming about anything in particular. I just wanted to focus on the idea of becoming lucid.

Lucid Fragment

I was in Loudonville standing behind my grandmother's house. I'm not sure but I think I was Claire or seeing things through her eyes in this dream. I was trying to hide from an army of little kids who wanted to eat me. They found me and they charged at me. I tried shooting them with an LMG I had been carrying, but it was out of ammo. So I picked up a gold sledge hammer leaning against the house. I swung it around in a circle hitting all of the kids around me. It was quite comical until I woke up.

Tooth Ache

This dream started out with me in my grandmother's house (Mansfield). It was a flase awakening and I was lying in the bedroom. I got up and put my clothes on for the day. I walked towards the kitchen to get some breakfast. I got a really strange feeling in my one tooth though as I walked to the kitchen. It then started hurting really bad. I poked it and felt it with my tounge. It hurt even more and tasted like bood, so I figured it was about to fall out. I started panicking because I don't think you're supposed to lose adult teeth. I poked at it with my finger and really knocked it lose. My mouth suddenly started to fill with blood. I ran into the bathroom and spit it out into the toilet. I started questioning why I had a bad tooth and how I could fix it. I became lucid after remembering that I had a similar dream a few days ago.

I still wasn't sure how I was going to fix my tooth. After spitting more blood out I decided to call out to my sister for help.

"Miki...Miki...Miki..." I moaned holding my head over the toilet.

I didn't get any response from her. It seemed like she just decided to leave. So I decided to rely on a dream guide.

"Claire!" I shouted to bring her to me.
"What?" She said walking into the bathroom.
I turned around to face her and said, "Look at this tooth ache!"
"So?" She said thinking it was normal.
I then spat out more blood onto the floor and yelled, "This isn't normal! Fix it!"
"Alright, follow me." She said.

I followed her outside of the house. Even though I had just woken up, it was oddly night time. We walked across the street into a field. We were walking towards a huge statue. I think it was the head of the Statue of Liberty half burried in the ground. I then stopped walking and thought about my real life tooth. I thought the tooth pain in my dream could be related to my real life tooth. If so then it would be a good idea to wake up and check on it. I grabbed the fabric of my dream with my hand (if that makes sense) and started pulling on it. I pulled and twisted it until it ripped open. I let myself fall into the void and woke up.

When I woke up my tooth was completely fine. That made me a little upset that I woke up for no reason. I got up to get a class of water and then sat there for a while using my daydream technique.

Rope Swinging

Kind of forgot some of this dream because I put off writing it. I was standing on a platform built around the top of a very tall tree. I tried to see how far from the bottom I was, but there was only a thick fog below me. I was standing there with my cat. My cat looked as if he was about to jump off of the platform.

"No kitty! No kitty! No kitty!" I yelled.

He jumped off and I looked down to see had jumped to another platform. As high as it was, it looked like it should have killed him. I became lucid after thinking about how the fall should have killed him. I saw ropes hanging from the tree branches and decided to play with those. I ran foward, grabbed a rope, and swung towards another platform. To reach the next platform I had to curve around the tree with the rope. Oddly when I did this I had a quick gust of hot air blow at me for a few seconds. After I landed on the next platform there were no others to swing to. I ran and swung on the last rope anways. After I let go of the rope I fell far through the fog until I hit the ground. I did a roll when I landed so I wouldn't break my legs or anything. More happened after this, but I forgot it.

Improved Teleportation

I can't remember the moment I became lucid. I was standing in my grandmother's living room (Mansfield) in the middle of the night. Oddly everyone us up and walking around even though it was the middle of the night. I decided I would try teleporting somewhere. I don't like walking around the dream world at night or places that seem very normal to me. I had a little bit of a new idea on how I would teleport this time.

I swiped my hand down to create a rift in the wall above the couch. I jumped off the couch and dived into the portal. I fell and crashed into the void like I was expecting. Now that I was in the void and the previous dream scene was erased, it would be easier for me to teleport to a new one. I swung my arms out in a tearing motion to rip a hole in the void while thinking of a place full of snow. A rift opened up and I could see a bunch of snow through it. I stepped through the portal and I was in the middle of a forest covered in snow and ice. I also saw Chris just standing there watching the snow. The place was amazing, but it felt too cold there and I wanted to leave. I waved goodbye to Chris and walked back through the portal into the void.

I did the same thing as before when I was in the void, except I thought about the summer and the beach. I saw sand, water, and the sun materialize as I opened the portal. When the image was complete I walked through the portal. Unfortunately the exit portal was a little high up in the air and I fell out of it. I hit the ground pretty hard, but I at least landed on sand. After groaning in pain and complaining to myself I got up and looked at my surroundings. I was on a beautiful island with a bunch of trees and flowers behind me. I looked back to the beach and saw someone just lying there on the beach. As I walked towards her I realized she was Claire. I wanted to ask her a few questions, but she was sleeping. I poked her belly a few times to try to wake here up. I then decided that waking her up would be like waking an angry bear. I sat next to her and waited for her to wake up, but she never did. I looked around a little bit and admired this new world. One odd thing I saw though was the Statue of Liberty's head burried in the ground again. The dream faded away as I waited.

In a Painting

It was a false awakening and I was actually in my own room for once. I was packing my bags for yet another road trip. As I was packing I saw a picture on my wall. It was a picture of the Statue of Liberty. I walked over to it and stared at it for a moment. I don't have a picture of the Statue of Liberty on my wall. I became lucid after realizing that the statue was in the previous dreams. It meant that this one was likely a dream too.

For some reason I felt like I should go into the painting. I pushed my hand through the picture. It looked and felt like I had stuck my hand into a bucket of water. After pushing my whole arm into it, I was sucked into the painting. Next thing I know, I'm falling high above the buildings of New York City. I then felt an energy above me and turned towards the sky. Two seperate portals had opened in the sky. Out of one fell Chris, and out of the other fell Claire.

"What the hell are you guys doing?!" I asked them.
"Trying to save you!" Chris said.
"You're doing a pretty bad job at it!" I yelled at him.
"There wasn't much time to plan!" he yelled back.
"Shut up and morph into a dragon already!" Claire yelled.

I transformed into a full dragon real easy and spread out my wings. Claire grabbed onto my back and I grabbed Chris with my four legs. I was about to crash into a skyscraper, but Claire grabbed my horns and steered me to the right. I was about to hit another building, so she steered me to the left just barely missing two buildings. I nearly lost my grip of Chris and was barely holding onto him anymore.

"You guys are too heavy" I yelled.

Claire got mad at me and purposely steered me into the side of a building. That was a painful hit on the head.

I growled at her and asked, "What the hell was that for?"
"Watch what you say." Claire said.
"This too much weight for me to carry!" I yelled back.
"Maybe you just need to build some muscle" She said.
"Look out!" Chris yelled.

I looked back in front of me and saw the Statue of Liberty. I crashed into the crown thingy on it and gripped it with my claws. I grabbed Chris with my tail and and Claire held onto my shoulders. After some struggling I finally pulled all of us up. All of that craziness destabilized my dream and I woke up like 5 seconds later.

End

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Had extremely long and weird dreams last night, I can't be bothered to write them down really. Did a small WBTB and after that it started with a LD in which I was going to have sex, this led to the "unfaithful schema" being active and it all turned into a nightmare when I lost lucidity.

23.30: Sleep

Spoiler for 18+:

11.00: Getting down and dirty MILD
I'm with a latina girl and I intend to have some sex. I go down on her and notice a vein going from her belly down to her thigh. "What a cute vein" I say. She touches it. "This? It's a chakra vein, makes me able to control my chakra." I start pleasuring her with my tongue while she's rocking her body back and forth. I time it and she moans in pleasure.

The dream slips from me and I end up in SP. I lie still and visualize a scene in which I'm having sex with the girl. I almost end up in a dream before I black out.

I wake up in a bed next to a girl. I know I'm on a boat cruise. I position myself ontop of the girl who just woke up. I slowly start to realise what I've done last night. I drank myself stupid and ended up having sex with this girl, cheating on Monica. I get up and get out of there. I almost throw up from the anxiety. 'Fuck fuck fuck! What the hell have I done?!'

11.00: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 12½ hours

Supplements: Galantamine + Choline at WBTB.

That's it! Well, on G+C you're in for an extremely long dreaming period. That can be good or bad, unlucky me this time the unfaithful schema took like an hour to go away, it stayed there for a few dreams.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!
