I was at some kind of performance. I understood that the members of my IPRO team had all selected songs to describe themselves. They were performing them on stage in front of the rest of the team. Amar and I walked down to the front of the auditorium to find a couple of free seats. Autumn showed up and sat down next to me. For some reason, a number of people brought props from the Sword of Truth series or dedicated their songs to Richard Rahl. I wasn’t sure why this kept happening, but it was amusing. I clapped when I saw each of them refer to the series. Two people trying to walk past each other in the aisle got stuck, and I suggested folding their props in half so they could squeeze by, but neither of them did it. A dog of some kind put its head in Autumn’s lap. When I tried to pet it, its eyes turned red. It snarled viciously at me. She explained that it had a poor first impression of me… I tried to ignore it, but now that I had angered it, the dog started lashing out at me. It ended up pushing me to the ground, and I barely kept it from tearing my face apart. I was puzzled when the animal suddenly gave up and trotted away. While the performances continued, I feared that Limia would ask me to sing something… I had missed the day when we picked our songs, so I hadn’t rehearsed anything. If I had to, I could always sing Happy Birthday to the audience. The list of music I knew by heart was pitifully short and consisted mostly of children’s songs.
I was in my dorm room. It seemed that the world was going to collapse, destroying the souls of everyone in it. The only way to save them was to take them to another world entirely. Although I don’t recall doing it, I knew I had created a portal for them in my room to take them to Nyre. It was the safest place I could offer them. People ran through the portal in desperation. As I explained it to Autumn, we could save everyone who wasn’t actively dreaming up the “waking” world. In the end, it would only be as stable as the dreams of the last person dreaming it – probably not stable at all. Autumn was clearly worried that I would try to save everyone from the world’s collapse. I ran into the room connected to mine and warned everyone there that time was running out. They had a matter of minutes to escape. I checked the bathroom and found a little girl being attacked by shadow creatures. They pinned her to the wall. Drawing Apheri in a swift motion, I tore through the shadow beings and banished them from our world. The little girl threw her arms around me on the verge of tears. I reassured her and brought her back to my room where the portal awaited. With Autumn’s help, I convinced her to go through to Nyre. The other portals I’d created around the world were allowing billions of people to escape the crumbling world, but the number of people I expected to die with Earth was still enormous. Some of them refused to believe it was happening. “I have to try to save them,” I told Autumn. She grabbed my arm. “You don’t have time,” she replied. “Four minutes won’t be enough.” I almost argued, but when I thought about it, I realized she was right. I would die with the rest of them if I stayed here too long, and then what would become of Nyre? Perhaps it would collapse just like Earth. I gave in and joined her in stepping through the gray-blue rift. The dream jumped. Autumn and I sat on the back of a riding lawn mower with my grandpa. After coming to Nyre, he found an enormous plantation and built a house. It seemed like a lot of land for him to take care of… He was living his dream, so he didn’t mind the work. We accompanied him back to his house before going our separate ways. Autumn and I wanted to find the people we saved in Illinois. I also wanted to make sure no one had found Nocturn Isle. I couldn’t trust Earth’s society with Symphony. Autumn didn’t want to drive, so I agreed to it. A light snowstorm blew in as we departed.
I was playing on WMBRO. The character rankings indicated that there were four level 194 players. I observed that one of them was a thief, and another was a novice. I couldn’t imagine how such a thing was possible. There were at least two new game masters who announced random things while I walked around on my character. Autumn voiced her suspicions that these high level characters belonged to the game masters. How else would they have leveled so quickly? I wandered into a dungeon that combined elements of the Toy Factory with Glastheim. An abysmal knight and at least thirty other monsters attacked me in a swarm, but I was able to destroy them with ease. I sensed that I was using the wrong arrows, though, so I wanted a chance to switch them… Unfortunately, the monsters just kept coming, and I intended to pick up the items dropped by the abysmal knight first. It died, but so did fifteen other things standing in the same spot, so distinguishing the abysmal knight’s loot from everything else was impossible. The items disappeared before I even made it over there. After I killed all of the monsters on-screen, a game master teleported to me. He apologized for any latency and explained that the server was under maintenance. I didn’t care at all about that… The only problem I had with the server at the moment was the mysterious appearance of so many high level characters without the capacity to level quickly. I walked past the game master without speaking to him. Further into the dungeon, I found the other new game master standing idle. I didn’t speak to him, either.
In this segment of the dream, I've just managed to pry a bat off my shoulderblade. (Note: I have chronic pain in my shoulderblade and last night, for the first time, I tried an Icy Hot patch on the area. It seemed to be making my bed cold and wet whenever I woke up during the night, so I was worried about it.) I've also seen a mini-bat, a sort of cross between a black bat and a dragonfly, slip under the door to try to get to me. Then I feel sharp pains in my left shoulder. (Note: The Icy Hot Patch is on my right.) It feels like something is biting me. When I turn around, I see that there is a snake looking up at me from the floor. She's a pale-orangey kind of colour, the colour of a cake baked with orange zest. (Note: I'd baked madeleines the other day and part of the recipe called for orange zest, and I'd been unsure whether that meant all of the orange peel or just the inner flesh under the peel, so that had worried me.) The snake is looking intently at me as if she's on a mission. I try to shoo her away. I try to run away. She keeps getting to me and rhythmically striking at me - in the same spot. She finally says to me, "Look, I'm trying to help you. I need to give you the scars for the electrolysis." I think about it for a moment, but I don't know what she means. I'm not even planning to get electrolysis done. So I continue to run away. She always catches up with me. When I get out of the house - which looks a lot like my grandmother's house from when I was a kid - I'm finally rid of her. I go around to the back to get into the kitchen, which I do from an upper window. The people in the cast of my film are there, cooking on the stove, and Aunt Janet from the Road to Avonlea series is there baking. Aunt Janet starts to scream bloody murder when she sees me come in. The ceiling corners above me are dirty and covered with strands of cobwebs.

Notes Non-Lucid Lucid So, yea, the only thing I can remember is a fragment of before I woke up. I was sitting in Algebra. The teacher asked me what date Mississippi was "made". I just stared at her. She said something like "How about 1817?" I looked down my book. But, I still didn't answer her. She said "Well" and then I woke up. Very anticlimactic.
First attempt at DEILD last night, Im quite good at remembering what I said before I went to bed, so I did mantra for alittle while before I went to bed, saying "Ill stay still after the dream". I do remember waking up after a dream, but I got HH so fast I moved. Ill try again tomorrow. Other fragments of dreams. Non Lucid. Taking on IRC with nito89. Something about america. Poor recall last night.
I was in the living room, with mom. MY mom looked at me and told me that If i had been there for her more, that she wouldn't be unhealthy right now. I asked her why she thought that, she didn't know. The next thing I knew, I was in some strange house, with cousins of mine. They where eating out of what I knew was Berrys candy stash. I came up to a big candy stash and contemplated eating it all. I picked up a giant sweet tart bigger then I am. I was about to eat it, then I woke up.
Good morning, everybody. Dream #1 I was in a drug store, like a Walgreens. But it was huge, like a Super Wal-Mart. I was probably with someone else, possibly my sister. We wandered around the outer aisles of the store, going counter-clockwise. We went past the pharmacy counter, which was at the back end of the store. Just past the pharmacy section, my sister turned left down an aisle. I waited for her at the end of the aisle, possibly sitting on the floor and playing with some of the products from the store. Somehow or other it became apparent that my sister had got some shampoo. It may have been in a pink bottle. She may have gotten some bottles of some other brands of shampoo. My sister and I were now with a group of other people. The shampoo was brought up in conversation. But I realized that we hadn't brought the shampoo back with us. We now had to run to go get it. I may have been in the lead. Along with my sister there may have been a couple other people from the group. We ran through an area that looked like a big Warehouse store, like a Sam's Club, with huge shelves in an enormous, concrete building. But it also felt a bit like a Toys R Us. We ran to one of the really big aisles. I ran left down the aisle. There was a whole display of shampoos. Some of the shampoo bottles were scattered all over the floor. I may have picked up another pink bottle of shampoo. It was probably Johnson and Johnson's baby shampoo.
Lucid I wake up in my house, not my bed this time.I fall down , get up and hit the wall , i feel very unstable.I rub my hands and start touching objects near me.When i feel that the dream is stable enough , i go to the corridor and see front door open.I can see outside and go out .Everything seems as real as in real world,i remember celebrity i wanted to kiss i start calling her name and after few seconds hear steps coming from behind the corner.I get to her and she says hi , i tell her i want to kiss her and she smiles , so i proceed.After few seconds of kissing i feel my tongue so damn sore that i stop and everything goes black.I try to DEILD , can still feel vibrations but after some time i'm still not in a dream,it turns out i was already in a dream and my alarm wakes me up for real that time.

I was in an airplane. Or a place. I was trying to avoid someone. Or rather, someone was trying to avoid everyone else. An office? Jiji threw a cup of coffee at me. I looked at her, reprimanding. Manila? We talked about how I have things I have to do, and so changing clothes again just wasted time, and that I'll miss my meetings/games. I told her I play table-top games. I think I mentioned chess and another one. I was walking on board a plane. Leaving for Manila. I was going back home in a day or two. I was riding a vehicle with some people. Found a good place to park. Met with Ms. Sol in a stadium. Night. She was talking to someone. I overhead something about an agreement with DS to hold meeting in the company premises. I felt regret for not finding more people, and missed opportunity.
[COLOR="red"]Lucid[/COLOR] [COLOR="royalblue"]Semi-Lucid[/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]Dream[/COLOR] [COLOR="silver"]Thoughts[/COLOR] [COLOR="silver"]I am almost 100 % sure that I will start to have atleast one short lucid dream per day. Because I just discovered that every awakening from the timer, is an oppurunity to DILD, WILD DEILD, MILD you name it. But the timer method made me have 8 false awakenings this time, and I did a reality check on all of them, but I didn't become lucid. The reason was that the reality check I used didn't worked for me. I did atkins breathe through mouth reality check, but when I did everything appeared normal, no air came out of my mouth. But I am grateful to that it didn't worked, because I discovered that false awakenings is the best oppurtunity to have a lucid dream. And now I know that the timer method induces it.[/COLOR]
I saw a white horse and felt compelled to ride it. I jumped up on it and began riding it bareback. (I rode horses bareback years ago in my youth but haven't ridden a horse in many years). I began riding on a road in the mountains near my home but I felt that the asphalt may hurt the horse's hooves and I didn't know if it had on horseshoes, so I rode it onto a dirt road. The horse was easy to handle, I felt completely at ease while riding, in fact I never felt so comfortable on a horse before. I woke up with a very good feeling about the experience.
