I was on land, but water was all around. It wasn't really an island.

There were cars that had been parked and were now sunken into the water and sand. Only their trunks were sticking up in the air.

I was with a female. I liked here. All of a sudden, something swam up. I saw a fin sticking out of the water. It was a shark. I was afraid it would swim up to shore and get one of us as we were close to the edge of the water. It did come up and show it's open mouth. Then it was a killer whale, and another one came up beside it. I forget what happened then.

I went to bed last night all pumped to DREAM, remember it and maybe even LD It didn't work out that way. It took me a long time to get to sleep and then I remembered only a dream fragment...being teased by two men and enlisting the support of a strong woman

Im in a guitar shop, there are thousands of guitars hung up on the walls and hanging in shelf like containers.

I meet a woman there who sits me down and asks me to play her a certain rift (smoke on the water i think) and i have my guitar with me so i sit down and begin to play the rift. I'm playing the wrong notes but it sounds right, the woman shakes her head and tells me its wrong although i know it sounds perfect, she tells me to try again so i do. I end up playing it for her several times and each time she says its wrong.

She talks to her manager and gives me one more chance, i play it again but i accidently hit the Pick up selector and it make a weird sound, i explain it does that sometimes but they are having none of it. For some reason the manager leaves and i say excitedly "can i try a different guitar?" The woman looks around for her manager and when she is satisfied that she is not around, she tells me i can. I start to run around around the shop searching for a guitar to play, I'm trying to find a Gibson Les Paul but there doesn't seem to be one here, i settle for a Flying V, reach up and take it off the wall, it feels really heavy, a lot more heavy than i would expect.

I play the rift with this new guitar & she is still not happy with it, although i notice a definitive improvement. A old man walks into the shop, hes wearing a pink/red Hawaiian shirt on, with shorts and grey hair. He tells me not to worry about this thing, he said that he can tell i am good at guitar and that the woman doesn't really know what shes on about, i like him for that. He tells me he can also fix my guitar, i look down and a string is broken, "ok i say". Somehow he finds a £10 note on the floor, i tell him "I tell you what if you fix my guitar, I'll give you another tenner!" he laughs, "your on!" he says.

The man asks me to follow him so i do, he walks through a door in the shop that leads to some stairs so i follow him up those, there are so many flights and its getting tedious but eventually leads on to a corridor with a load of grotty looking doors on either side. I remember telling the man "im not sure i could live here" and he just smiles and tells me to wait.
He goes through one of the doors and its really dark, but i can see light at the end of the corridor, when we come out, we are in a beautiful courtyard, it has tone cobble floor and has a house on either side, both houses have steps leading up to the front doors.
The old man walks in front and sits on a step in front of the house on the left, the sun is pouring down into the courtyard and its really warm.

A bunch of kids run over right away shouting "grandpa" and the old man laughs and begins to play with them, i start joking around with the kids too and he smiles at me, i think he approves. The man seems to have a huge family, when comes in contact with the family he begins to start speaking Italian, so i switch too.
He introduces me to his family and we both go through a side-gate and enter his garden. Whilst there he explains to me that he is the don of this mafia, says he likes me, my character and could use a guy like me. I don't even hesitate and tell him yes id join him straight away.

The dream skips, I'm standing outside a house, its dark and im in the shadows, i have the side of my house to the left of me, and the wall of another house to the right. A guy in a hat, shirt, jacket and nice trousers and shoes is passing me a blue toy water gun, he is telling me we are going to play a joke on one of the senior mafia members. The man tells me to stay here, the Don's daughter is being moved from one location to this, he says we're pretty sure there isn't going to be a hit but just to guard anyway and get ready for the prank. I wait in the shadows so i am not seen , i see a car pull up and get ready. I recognise the guy im suppose to be scaring with the gun, so i back away a few steps until i am in total darkness, he rounds the corner and i put the gun to his face and say something about time to die, he looks shocked and really scared, i pull the trigger and squirt him in the face a couple of times. Everybody begins to crack up laughing, the Don slaps me on the back "welcome to the family, kid" The man i just scared starts laughing and then introduces himself "you nearly gave me a heart attack" he tells me.

The dream skips, I'm standing in the Don's garden again, its day time and pretty sunny. The garden resembles my grandma's garden. The Don and some others are talking about tactics, i hear them say the japanese yakuza are causing trouble, im shocked. I dont wanna get involved with those guys. The dons wife trips and falls, i think shes broken her ankle, i rush over, pick her up and put her arm around my shoulder so i can support her, another guy does the same thing. We take her inside and she collapses on the sofa in pain. I look out the window at the car and say "ill take her".... The Don walks up to me with a very stern look "take this with you" he says and hands me a real gun.


*dream 2*

I am on a street, in broad daylight, it is a street that is near my house atm and has a large downward hill. I am with Arch & Raspberry and we are all in wheelchairs, none of us seem to be disabled though, it looks like we are just in them for fun. We are going on the pavement and on the road dodging cars and seeing how long we can pull wheelies for. We are all laughing and chatting away. Raspberry suddenly looks upset "i gotta go, my dad doesn't want me back too late..." She disappears and i tell arch "lets go for that joint man" he agrees and we head off.

I get home and see joe. "hey man, this is Sean" joe says hello and we go to sit in the living room. I find my grinder and start to skin up, "where is josh?" i say to joe
"hes in his room again" he tells me and gives me a look as if to say "yeah again..."
I turn to Arch and say "have you met josh before?"
"yeah i think so" he says and describes him.

I spark up the spliff and we start passing it around, we're all high and watching tv but then i wake up.

9.4.11.WILD.muffinBattle.txt

this is after a night of gigging, coming home, then getting up a few hours later to do a photoshoot / album cover thing. i napped later, but still felt totally sleep deprived.

i almost accidentally wilded into this. as soon as i closed my eyes there were intense purple swirls, so i decided to count and stay alert. i probably only got to 15 or so... i cant recall the beginning but i was lucid for a while before deciding to do a RC.

i am in the corner of a blue-green painted room. like a baby's room maybe. i look at my hand, its all wavy and electric. at one point i am what i think is under a bed, but now it seems like i was actually looking out of crib railing. i rub my hands together. i am still somewhat aware of my body in bed as i do this, but it feels pretty solid.

i remember to look at myself (i have on striped pajamas?) indeed, i remember to think about my goals and waking life, but the only one i can recall doing is asking dream characters what they represent, and ive forgotten many of them as well.

... i am at a party, in the kitchen, feeling confident and curious about the dream. there are lots of loud girls. im talking to a really drunk blonde about working at the christian academy. the girl is telling me to take the job, implying that there would be lots of willing co workers.
shes trying to get me, i think. then she jumps on my back and when i grab at her my hand brushes her vagina and she makes a moan. this happens when there is dip in the volume of the conversation and everyone starts laughing.

here things get fuzzy, i remember asking characters at the party what they stand for and getting some enlightening answers, but its all very fuzzy. i do recall asking a portly young lad in a booth who was eating what he represented, and ruminating on his answer, but i can't remember it now.

also, my good friend and former trumpet player was there, but he was simultaneously like the Conan O'Brian Triumph the insult comic dog. i found his presence like this amusing and asked what he represented. he said "when you stick to your dreams you can go far." (Our trumpeter had just completed his undergrad and moved to Florida for his masters, while traveling and playing shows with some good sized bands. So this answer makes total sense.")

...

me, dad, and another younger kid go to this fancy hotel / spa / resort type place. dad thinks he has a good plan to somehow get all kinds of free stuff.

we go in and this server woman brings a big pot of coffee, some candy, and some kind of black USB thumb-drive. i know this is a bad idea. the thumb-drive has something to do with how yo pay for stuff. i was ripping the place off a little bit, but dad is wanting to totally not pay for anything. i refuse the coffee and sweets and decide to change the scene.

i wake up and move a bit then go back into the dream.

... i am in a compound / mansion type place, almost like a hospital or mental asylum. its sort of late Victorian, but i have all manner of futuristic technology, like a small hover ship. the place is bad.. not quite evil, but there is a bad dark haired man in charge. i play tricks and pranks on them. there is dark haired kid, as if he is my young doppelganger or is getting blamed for all the stuff i do.

these two girls / nurses are trying to catch me but i keep moving this black bag they put out to catch me. i keep draggin it through the walls. one girl comments on it. then another guy shows up and says, its time we consider this is something else, like im a ghost or something.

at one point i pass through this courtyard and tied to a tree is a big hagrid looking type monster / giant, swinging a club at me. i ask him what he represents and he growls "your fear of the unknown!" all the while trying to get me. (right before bed i had watched some history channel thing on Sasquatch being a primitive human.)

the dark haired man is chasing me in the grocery store, floating and then firing various foods at me, muffin / cupcakes in one scene. i am able to deflect them. then he has some secret configuration that i cannot stop, i decide this is enough and decide to show them power they have never seen before. i forcefully stop everything and wave my hand in righteous fury, dissolving the scene and fading it into something else.

... i am driving up a tiny road, at a ridiculous incline. its almost like i am driving up the side of an obelisk. i seem to remember this road and how dangerous it is, so i have to be careful. here, i lose lucidity, because i am worried about the fall if i don't make it. i am not properly on the road and when i reach the top my way is blocked by a black cable. i reach out and grab it, moving it aside so i can pass and i end up hanging off the edge of the road / tower. i pull myself up and there is a tiny, grey, foot high mailbox. i think this is odd.

... i am riding in a car down the freeway, talking to guy who looks like spy. i say i will be going to Addison virtual academy and he says i will be working for him. i awaken.

7.30.11.GLD.movieTheater.cloudBattle.txt

i woke up and took:
G+C+1 Ltheanine + kril oil + 1b6

i couldnt get back to sleep, my gf and daughter kept waking me up. i took another l-theanine later.

i am trying to fall asleep and sort of passively wilding, watching the lights behind my eyes. a dream starts to form, but its very dark and doesnt feel 3d, it feels third person-ish. i let it go, but i keep my wits about me and every so often i try to move off, to separate myself, to feel or see my body, but i feel stuck.

... im at a huge outdoor concert, but my perspective is that of a video camera surrounded by heavy cloth looking out onto the drums. one of the TOTMs was to play an instrument in a lucid dream. i have being trying to incubate this by focusing on it before bed, either playing a huge concert or playing the piano (which i succesfully did non-lucid last night.) but i cannot move, i am frozen in the camera perspective. when i try to move again the scene shifts.

... and i am out in an impossibly huge concrete skatepark, again in third person. the concert is happening off in the distance, which i think is pretty cool. there are two guys on a longboard, but one of them has one foot on another longboard, and they are carving the huge banks. (just like me, half-asleep, still aware of my body, with one foot in the dream world) <there is no way, they are gonna make it, how is he still standing?> they head straight for me and the scene shifts again...

... i am in a movie theater, sitting along the wall with my gf, waiting for the movie to start. this scene is another step towards the dream. there has been some kind of technical problem and we are all impatient. (i find this to be a reflection of me WILDING and waiting on the dream to start.) i see my friend danny over by some tables and go to talk to him, still feeling my body and not quite "in" the dream, but getting closer.

he has been on a trip, as our recent (imagined) messages have indicated and we talk for a moment. my gf comes over, grumpy and pregnant, and impatient. (this whole time she is sleeping next to me, occasionally moving and making noises.) we find some seats, but i have to force another guy to move so we can sit together.

the image on the movie screen is too small (another comment on the WILD transition) and a guy's voice starts droning. now its more like a class auditorium. he is expounding on the virtues of some scientist, all his accomplishments. i focus on his voice. it gets louder and louder. i try to contain my excitement because i know the real show is about to start! his words starts to blend together and get louder and rumblier and more jumbled together. soon it sounds like a jet engine...

... and i am in!i feel a shift and suddenly motion. i am in a fighter at a tremendous altitude. i look out the window and see full color, 3d, lifelike clouds. i hear machine gun fire as we zoom close to a cloud bank and i see that it is actually some kind of enemy turret disguised in the clouds.

<how am i going to get out? i know, i am a paratrooper and they will "fire" me into the mothership! i can then have some fun before i teleport / fly out and take care of the TOTM or one of my other goals.>



i look out the window again and see a huge floating fortress come into view. it is brown and has long tentacles floating, there are other ships battling around it. just as they are about to lanch my "pod"...

my gfs phone rings and i hurtle back to my body with almost painful force.

ahhh life is so beautiful.

Mayatara's Dream

I had this dream last night. I wasn't trying to attempt a shared dream or to even go to Chichen Itza. I was dreaming I was at my hometown and I got lucid and landed on top of a large square rooftop, which I though was of a normal building. Today I saw the Chichen Itza scheme here on this page and realized it looked so much like it! Even the strange ramp going up to the top of the building, which I found unusual to be on a normal building. I think I actually dreamt of Chichen Itza, therefore I had to post the dream here. Eventually there could be some synchronism with other dreamers.

"(...) Eventually I headed to my hometown. I lived some adventures down the way, but nothing worth mentioning. What matters is that eventually I got lucid there and I flew up in the air to absorb the detailed landscape from above while deciding what to do with my LD.
I landed on top of a large concrete building on top of a hill and I planned to pursue my latest adventure of getting the sword of Manjushri from the guy who had it. But as I was summoning a portal to go to the land of Aud, two giant white wolves appeared out of nowhere, growling and looking for a way to get me. I felt safe, because I was on top of a building, but then I noticed there was a ramp on the back of the building, from the hill directly to this rooftop, which I could swear wasn't there before. They were getting really close and I decided to jump through the portal I had opened, although I hadn't clearly figured where I wanted to land.
Anyway, I think I landed in Aud, I just didn't know exactly what part of it. It was a rough landing. I fell on the ground with my bottom. Everything was pitch dark and I realized it was night. I could feel grass under my hands and hear a murmur of water to my right side. I was afraid the wolves could have crossed the portal to, but after a while of hearing no threatening sound, I was rest assured I was all by myself. I cringed against a warm rock waiting for the morning. When the sky started to light up I saw I was on some prairie, with a lake and a forest in the horizon. I guessed the forest was the one around the town of Denn, but before I could even make plans about what to do next, I started waking up...

So I remember going to my town and it was like totally deserted and so I was with my middle school principle and maybe the DC that make me lucid from last night. So anyways we were there and I was gonna take a golf car with my friend home. So we got in and this one steered really weird and was super annoying. It had a little stick that came up and you would twist the top to turn. So I got out and got in a nice blue one that had a yoke style steering wheel. So I started driving and though that I would go to this guys motor-sports shop up the street. So I did that with my friend but he stayed in the golf cart. I went over to a car type thing that had snowmobiles but they were tiny and I tried one and it didn't work because it was so tiny. Then I tried this scooter thing and it was tiny and then I couldn't really find anything else I think.

Well this dream started out where I was hiking with these kids up this trail I had supposedly rode at Tower and so I was hiking with these little kids and they were annoying me. So this kinda went on for a while and I kept going and then we came to this chair lift thing and they did something there I think but I can't totally remember. (This dream didn't seem to have a real story-line). Then I remember being with a group of people looking at a banked turn and I remembered how much this trail was and that I wanted to ride it. SO I actually stood there for a while just think and talking about how I wanted to hit it. Then I saw a sign and it said something about minecraft 2.4 and it was saying look at the water and I could see my reflection and the joke was that in Minecraft you couldn't see your reflection. So then I decided to log on to Minecraft. So I did and I spawned near that little water area so I started swimming and I was like in the video game and I popped up and look at everyone then heard notch and his buddies talking about how people were doing what I was doing and they were getting very very angry. So I swam back and logged off. Then some other things happened that I can't remember but then I remember apologizing to Notch.

So this is gonna be kinda hazy because I don't have that good of recall this morning.

This one started out where I was on the back of a jet-ski with these viking kinda guys. We were heading down this mine tunnel to get to this area for god knows why. So I was a little freaked out because we were in an abandoned mine and they are dangerous and I was pretty scared. So we kept down the tunnel until we got to this chamber and it wasn't too big but there was some computer equipment. So as we were passing a lady told me I was in for a fight and I was really confused until we got to the next camber which was more of a long chamber. So when we went in I heard a roar and this giant water beast started swimming around the room and they told me I had to fight it. So I started shooting at it with a shot gun and stuff and it was pretty intense. But then I got knocked into the water and I was facing the creature as it came at me and I kicked it and I think one of the guys shot it and it died. So they were all happy and I got back on the jet ski and we went into the next camber which was like a treasure room or something like that. So any ways we were there and I can't really remember what they did but then they got back on the jet-ski and I was going to drive this time but except it was all new people and I was on my friend's wave runner. It was me him, his sister, his sisters friend and this lesbian chick. So I was going to drive and so we started ant when I went the jet-ski did a huge wheelie and I let go of the throttle and it went down and then my friend told me how to solve that and then we started leaving the mine and I was driving slowly but like it was kind of hard for some reason. So we got to the computer chamber and then the lesbian chick was going to drive and so I was on the back and held onto her shirt. So we left the mine and were out on priest lake and the girl started gunning it and I saw a tornado cloud to my left and she and I were flipping out. So we got back to my friends cabin which happened really suddenly and we were out in the water warning them about the tornado and my friend said it wasn't one and when I turned around the cloud had sorta separated. Then my friend Gavin wanted to go tubing and that's about all I can remember.

Goals: Recall
9 Dancing in the Rain Was at an amusement park with my brother and sister, just walking around in between rides. We are watching this huge ride that swings peoople all over the place when it comes loose and goes flying through the air. I rem thinking about how badly people would get injured because there is nothing protecting them from what they might crash into, It tumbles to the ground as me and my siblings talk and gasp about it. When this happens i start to question whether or not im dreaming. I start to look at my hand and quickly notice that my pinky is short and stubby like a thumb. As soon as i realize im dreaming it starts raining.

I begin running around in circles and just focus on feeling the rain and really being there in the dream. The rain starts to feel pretty intense on my skin, i even start singing that song "feel the rain on your skin"( lol) Unfortunatel the stabilization didnt work too well and the dream started going black. I was in a void and i decided to try and teleport back to the amusement park. I imagine where i want to go and start screaming with the intention, screaming so loud that i worry i may be doing so in waking life as well, i start to see something appear, i try to use my hands to interact with it but i end up moving my "real" hands and can feel my blanket,

as real as it seemed it turned out to be a fa, i rem getting up from bed and heading into the bathroom, dont rem what i do, i rem coming back and realizing i still havent wrote my lucid in my dj, i get ready to do so, dont rem afterwards, i awoke later pretty confused but still remembered the lucid.

*Flash of being in the woods with my brother and some others. We are watching someone through binos on the other side of the park, apparently there are people after us and they know were over here. All else i rem is my dad driving his truck to our area, i rem some dude who mustve been a park ranger or something showing him the way.

Another night of a stuffy head...Apparently at one point, a window was open while I was sleeping the other day and it is wreaking havoc on my nasal passages....Just when I got over the last stuffy nose, my father had to dish me out a new one.... HOWEVER, this time it DID NOT effect my recall.
I had a dream I went over to a cottage like home. I knocked on the window and my friends mom came out. She asked what I wanted and I told her I was there to face my demon- I was there to talk to Colton. So she went to get him, and his brother Tyler (also a friend of mine) came outside. We greeted each other and he figured out why I was there. He said to me, "You know, Colton is going to do everything in his power to stay away from you. He's still hurt."
I told him I knew now that I had hurt his brother and how badly, and that I was so sorry for it...I wanted to make up and make it up to him.
Colton came outside, and he saw it was me. I went to approach him and say I was sorry, but he merely stared. I tried speaking with him, but he would cover his ears. At one point, he spontaneously turned into a pair of coins that fell to the ground. I began crying. For some reason, Tyler hid away. I looked around to see a pony with a dark red coat and a white star on its forehead emerge from around the corner for no evident reason. It ran towards me and twisted around me. I merely petted it. Tyler freaked out about it, and I was slightly scared as it seemed so sparatic and wild, but I merely yelled to it to go home. It complied and ran back into the yard next door, and I joined Tyler in hiding in a small area next to him. He began to ask me how I did that, and I told him I had watched the horses for my friend Ashley before (true fact) and so I had a small experiance with them. I went on about how it didn't matter though... I still failed at the one thing I came to accomplish. I began to tear up again and talk about how much I missed Colton, and how terrible I felt and the whole sha-bang. It grew quieter as I began to sob and Tyler suddenly says to me, "He heard you. Look outside."
Outside of my hidey-hole was an orange octopus, apparently Colton in a random form. He asked me if I meant what I'd said and asked if I promised this would never happen again. I told him I never wantd this sort of thing to happen and I never wanted him hurt. That I was glad we got past the lies (turns out the reason we have been fighting this entire time because some of our 'friends' had been lieing to us all summer....) and could finally be together again. I hugged the small Coltopus, teary-eyed and smiling. He asked if I wanted a simple kiss or something I can't recall, and I gave him a big kiss on his Octopus cheek. He turned into a person again, helped me up, and we hugged.

The invitations for a party had to be rewritten and Mum was helping out in order to make sure that they were kind and appropriate. They each included hand written recipients and sibling attendance invitations. They also included personalised apology or condolence or encouragement messages. That is all.

13 Aug 2011

Our world consisted of a number of different districts, each with it's own government, city states if you like. Anyhow, we were of a group of tourists from a few local districts and we had a bus. We arrived in one district from the west. This district was south of our own region of districts. On arrival in this district, we were arrested for some petty crime and put on trial. The questions were all about trivial things. One question I think was about some event at dinner, something to do with the type or quantity of relish used by one individual. The most important issue discussed however was the health condition of one of our party. He had some weird condition of unspecified scope, which requires treatment of the consumption of 'black seed oil' or some such. The prosecutor questioned the witness on the legality of this oil and the witness complained that it couldn't be illegal because it was produced within his district and that would harm the economy. At some point we just decided to leave, and somehow we got away. We drove off in the bus to another district at quite some distance and went to a mass eatery. Something was wrong with it so we walked out and went to a different one. Whilst in the eatery and eating dinner, an attendant approached me and asked if I was from the bus. To this I replied in the affirmative and was informed that the bus was required to be moved before twenty-five people had disembarked. This seemed strange at the time but somehow we were all on the bus again and disembarking. I was the twenty-fifth person but I forgot to inform the driver and M from VTC was there and she asked if I had been aware of the situation and on replying in the affirmative she scolded me for not informing the driver as I was the twenty-fifth passenger. Actually, it strikes me now that the time scale was not linear, in fact on reflection, we may not have left the district but were allowed to leave the court because we had not been caught for the crime yet. In this circumstance it would make sense that we were in fact still eating in the same district, they were not looking for us so we didn't need to get away. The crime could have been in allowing me to get off the bus before moving it. This would also explain the incident questioned in relationship to an event at dinner and how we were told about how we were allowed to disembark the bus after doing so and then given the opportunity of doing it correctly. This doesn't explain the black seed oil however.

I did not really sleep much at all but I had a very large number of pre sleep hallucinations. Normally I wouldn't document these but they were all along a common theme. Each hallucination involved an encounter with a person I know. A conversation, an observation, a collaboration or some other type of human interaction. I ended each hallucination with some new idea opinion about the person. I have no clear memory of any of these except for one in which I watched J.T. stuff something up and then put in every effort to remedy the issue, sadly the details have left me but the conclusion is implicit. I wish I could remember more of these hallucinations but the whole process was very exhausting as I doubt whether I entered a single R.E.M.s cycle all night.
