    2. 22nd Shared Dreaming Attempt - Vesterguard's Dream

      Vesterguard's Dream

      Note: Had no recall for yesterday's attempt so haven't posted anything, however I hope my fairly productive night will make up for this

      22-08-11 I am at a supernatural convention. Basically it is a big hall where beasts and entities are gathered to find work or clans to hang out with. I am some kind of vampire and assassin and I am there with a mate who is a therianthrope.

      We have little cards that describe who and what we are and what sort of salary we are entitled to. My mate gets almost double of my 200 dollars, because he is a shifter and not just a vamp like me. We try and find work where there is room for both of us, which I think we are successful at.

      There may be an attack on the convention, which forces a skip to our new workplace.

      There is a female assassin dressed in detailed black/dark leather armour. I am somehow connected to this female, we seem to have special abilities. She can teleport and I am busy teaching myself how to fly in the courtyard of the hangout to increase my value.

      At first it is just long jumps with a slow fall towards the ground. Gradually I manage to remain airborne by adding large swimming motions with my arms and as the dream progress the movement requirements gets smaller and smaller.

      In the same courtyard the female assassin demonstrates her teleporting abilities by porting with the werewolf I am becoming friends with (might be my mate from the beginnig, though so may the female). She ports up drop off the wolf that starts falling she ports again, and the again while she keeps picking up the wolf and taking him higher and higher into the air.

      Her teleporting looks like Nightcrawler of the X-men films with the black smoke after each port.

      Our boss is there watching and I start flying around, while explaining the obvious benefits of having a flying vamp around. This I do to get a raise (xD). I think I manage to convince the boss, because he starts talking about us already moving into executive range, I am happy, so is my mate.

      I fly upwards sort of spiraling it is daylight and the sky is very blue with quite some amount of clouds in it, we are in a different larger rectangular courtyard, we fly upwards and I start to wonder how high I can go (My very first lucid included the experience of flying upwards and then reappearing at the ground later, thought it to be lack of imagination).

      I realise I can keep going, but it will just take time. I land on the building and starts running immediately, I am joined by my friend (I know not if this was the werewolf or the lady, though I am having trouble disentangling them at this point).

      I run as fast as I can for the sheer pleassure, I jump off the edge, enjoys the fall and takes off into flight at the last moment. I then fly to a little café on an elevated wooden platform and grabs the head of an elderly female before she realise what is going on, I drink a tiny bit from her neck and mind trick her into forgetting. I might give her blood to help heal (TB style).

      I look around no one seems to have noticed, I know I am the type that wouldn't kill, I know I only need a tiny bit of blood, though I am a bit unsure as to how much this business of flying will drain my reserves.

      Skip.

      First mission, we are in the realm of fae, we are in a building, with very small rooms, essentially not high enough to the ceiling for me to take off into flight. We are here investigating, something has happened and we need info.

      We end up in front of a small table with goblins/dwarf/halfling type creatues around, towards one of the bookshelves in the corner (which later appear on the table) I see a plop, it looks a bit like the non-specific construct when Reynolds is first learning about his ring in Green Lantern from the bird man, though I only see a part and glimpse of it and the colour is silver to grey.

      I know magic has been used then and I suspect we are talking about mind fucking magic (against the laws, as all Dresden readers will know ^^). The air around the table has taken on a misty blue feeling, feels more dense and colourful than waking life (outside the fae realm).

      I am about to switch on my sight, which will allow me to observe residual magic, I press the spot of my third eye, but realise there is fae/goblin around us and they seem to be helping at the minute, so I ask them to do it, because the sight off course will be with me forever and it might look really nasty.

      First I ask right, but he says he aint a practitioner, then I ask the halfling/dwarf on my left and he does it and confirms that there be residual magic, mind magic, from the way it looks he confirms that it has been “used for construction”.

      I get the meaning of this, someone is running around acting on either wrong ideas or images.

      Slight skip, due to montage and a mainly orange piece of crude artwork that describes fire goblins (one of the people I was just talking to) it says that they are vicious, can kill themselves or bring beasts in for the fun as well without any particular preference, they will follow your lead one moment and turn on you the next.

      Dangerous fuckers in other words.

      Skip.

      Back in the realm of the faeries I have a birds eye view of a river with green beds and lots of plants, I see a woman headed in one direction and then a person (presumably a fire goblin) shouts out for his beasts to start a good hunt, I see wolves, raptors and other beings as well start darting towards the woman.

      Then there is a voice that says “... for questions three” and the woman (apparently a cunning wizard) latch on to the opportunity, turns around and shouts “parley” (like the pirates films I think) and all the beasts stop, I mean they don't just break and stand there, they freeze in time, it would seem like the goblin is bound by words and promises as the rest of the faes.

      However the wizard wastes no time and opens a way back into the normal realm. This way or gate or portal looks incredible, a little area of all the colours of the visible spectrum.

      She and me back in the vamp character find herself on the same riverbed, but the real world version of it, in fact she is quite conveniently located, though she had to gamble opening the way from the fae, which you never know where will open up in the real world.

      I start flying back towards camp next to the river. Then I see my wolf mate, he is walking happily along the river singing something. I fly over him, but slow down and start walking on the muddy ground waiting for him to catch up so I can chill out to the lovely music.

      I start explaining that the woman is getting better though she was lucky as always with the way she escaped from the Nevernever and came out in such a safe location.


      I don't remember what led to me turning lucid, in fact I only remember fragments of the dream. Think that on this occasion, which is rare for me, I actually managed to continue sleeping after a lucid dream. Suppose that does score a point for the state dependant memory of dreams theory.

      The lighting is really bright. It is probably something like noon and I realise I am dreaming. I look out over the lands and expect Chichén Itzá to appear on my left. It does and I get excited. However it doesn't look completely like it does now.

      First of all I am not at Chichén Itzá, but rather I am at the sea and I have long travel ahead of me through jungle and Mayan villages. It is only El Castillo I see in the back ground.

      The villages themselves look like they would have back when the civilisation was active, rich in colourings. However the architecture of the houses also look like they have a mixture of 1001 night design in them.

      I start making my way through the city and although I am impatient, as I want to get to El Castillo really quickly, I continuously force myself to relax, which in the city results in me noticing and taking time to stroke a shoulder of one of the Mayans, who all look like farmers or common people dressed in white. There may be someone not wearing shirts as well.

      There might be something about a Jaguar, which might just be me thinking of a Jaguar in all fairness.

      I remember it being quite a slow trot to get to El Castillo and when I get there it might not look exactly like it does in waking life.

      I fly/run around shouting screaming at other dreamers that I am here, though I don't find anyone, I don't particularly remember being alone when I decide to light the beacon.

      My beacon isn't how it looks on the website and I know this, but this seems to be the most stable lucid I have had in a while so I try if I can make something cool.

      I raise my hand towards the sky and throw a spell. The spell is designed to make fire rise in a straight lance from my upwards faced hand. At first I don't look up, just waiting a bit so I can use the expectation trick again, it doesn't work though.

      The only thing that happens is the fingertips on my right hand turn extremely hot. I mean place your hand on a hot plate for several seconds hot, though I feel the heat, the pain doesn't seem present. But I get scared and stop.


      I don't remember if I threw the beacon before running around shouting, and I am sure there is more to this dream. Also I don't know where I got the following names from, but they are picked up in dreams and think they might be this one.

      Vanessa (or similar); Mary/Mara.


      I am at my grandfather's place. My mum is putting diapers on my niece, two of them. I ask her why 2, she replies “because I can”. Whatever.

      I pick up my niece and play a bit with her, my mum tells me not to over excite her. She turns into a cat and picks up a pillow and starts playing with it while I hold her.

      She is playing with it classic cat style, on her back all four legs stretched upwards, kicking with her back legs while holding on with her front paws and biting. (People with cats will probably know what I mean =P)

      Skip.

      Standing at the fridge, doing something.

      Something about buying chips and gambling, my granddad wants to teach my mum or niece. My dad tells him there is nothing to teach as it is just turning money into another form of currency.

      I just overhear this conversation.

      Basically a fragment where I'm going around wearing two pairs of glasses at once. I think I become lucid at some point, but I don't get to Chichen-Itza.

    4. Lack of sleep for unknown reasons.

      by , 08-22-2011 at 11:01 AM (Zelkova's Dream Jounral: Part Two)
      August 22, 2011

      I went to bed around 9 PM and woke up around midnight for unknown reasons. I couldn't fall back to sleep and just sat there for two hours before getting up to get something to drink. I finally got up around 3:00 AM.

      I should have WILD or something but damn kids gave me a cold so my sore throat been killing me.

      Good news is that the kids are finally gone so I may start dreaming again.

    6. 21st Shared Dreaming Attempt

      by , 08-22-2011 at 09:51 AM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      KushyBear's Dream

      I'm walking down the street, inside a neighborhood. This is the same tract my cousin lives in. I'm with a two friends and we spot some mutual friends. There's me, three males, and two females. The females are lesbian and are touchy feely with each other. The male from the other group is ignorant and just wants to blaze. He unleashes his insecurities on me by verbal abuse. I don't take any of it and leave, telling them I don't need to smoke. I had two small packages in my pocket, which if seen by police, would get me stopped. I tuck them down. One guy I was with originally explains that I know myself and won't let anybody tell me otherwise.

      I'm in a classroom with students. It seems as a normal school day. Someone with high authority at the school requests to speak with me. He questions my resolve to abstain from weed. I forgot the answer I gave, but I know that it wasn't clever. In certain points of view though, you'd know that it was strong enough for me to not smoke.

    7. 8/22/11 Despair and First Day of Dorm Life

      by , 08-22-2011 at 09:50 AM (Scrawlings of a Mad Man)
      1) Nightmare of some sort. Something that made me lose hope. Despair.

      2) NAP. >> Naps I rarely remember the dreams, but I can hold on to the thoughts from them when I wake up. Like thoughts keep on going as if I'm still in the dream. I could take advantage of that.

      Fragments
      I was in Saints Row 2 and then shifted to watching EastEnders where Kat was going to leave Jean and everybody.

      I was playing football and I was rapping.

      Dream 1
      I was in the sea or flying around a beach. I went to a hotel and there was a kind fat guy he looked a bit like Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons and he seemed to like everything I liked. The room was pretty small and he had lots of computers and stuff.



      I said I liked The Clone Wars and he said "me too" I said I watched Regular Show and he said "Regular Show is fun" then we laughed. The he said something about a droid invasion so we went with some Clones across the beach to a kind of island with thousands of droid factories and we had Clone on hover bikes fighting.



      We did battle I think we won and that's that.

    9. "aka tony stark?" january 24, 2011

      by , 08-22-2011 at 07:37 AM
      I was sitting next to a body of water alone staring into the water. The sun was setting and whatever I was trying to see in the water was becoming impossible. Then I was showing my sister to her room. It was like a little house inside of a bigger one. There was two rooms where her room was, mine and hers. The walls were made of glass. I showed her, her room. Her room was empty. Only a bed. Then I showed her my room down the hall. Mine was full of stuff. Very similar to how I have my room now. As we passed her room again I watched my cat Cookie walk into her room and get in her bed. I walked toward to the big window in the empty living room. I stared out the window. The view was a big water area. I teleported to the area I was staring. I was now standing in water up past my knees. I noticed a man sitting on a bench in the water. I walked over to him. He reminded me of tony stark from iron man. For some reason in my dream I knew him, I felt he was the only one I could relate too. I knew I couldn't hide my feelings from him so I just went with the flow. He reminds me of tyler....we had drinks in margarita glasses. I was on his lap kissing him. The water was higher than the bench. Then he said "nobody quite understands" and I responded "neither do I?" Then I notice the sun rising. It reminded me there was something in the water I wanted to see. I grab my drink and have him follow me to a good spot to see in the water. Then transported again while staring I ended up where I was looking. I began swimming in the water to find what there....then I notice a lobster looking thing coming for my face...it freeked me out for a second...but then the thought crossed my mind of eating it..I came up out of the water for a breath and better view....then I see "tony" and some younger kid were putting the lobster in front of my face showing me their catch...I wake up.

      Evolventity's Dream
      August 21, 2011

      (Regular Dream) Fell asleep ~5AM, woke up at ~8AM, fell asleep at 10AM, woke up at 4:30PM.
      -I'm walking passed a local Verizon store and it's night time. I'm with a couple of other people; I don't know most of them. We have a plan to do something. We arrive in an area like a parking lot. I see an apartment neighbor (W*) and he is talking to me about something. This crew I'm with wants to have some "fun." According to them it is fun to hop in a van, speed down a street, and let yourself crash. I don't think it's a great idea. There's already a white van with us that we're going to use. I remember seeing a large building with shiny windows in the distance. I see some flammable liquid on the floor of the back of the van in front of the passenger seat. I light it while someone is sitting there in hopes that it will prevent the van from being used. It ignites but goes out. (Skip) I remember holding a little girl in the back of the van. Her mother is near behind me. I'm positioning us so that when we crash, we will not be too damaged. I look through the front window and see we're zooming down a steep street close to an intersection. It's pretty dark. I see some trees at the corners and a couple cars' headlights. I see in third person outside of the vehicle that we're going to crash. (Skip) Ambulances and cop cars have swarmed the area. I see the passengers covered in bloody injuries. Everyone is going to be arrested for playing such a game. I talk to one cop about not arresting the little girl, and an older woman. I also think about how I shouldn't being arrested either considering I wasn't intentionally involved. (Skip) A large bucket, about 200 gallons, hangs in the air 10 feet above the passengers. It spills and splashes a green acid onto them. Punishment?

      (Regular Dream)
      -K*G* and I are in my sister J*'s bedroom as she is laying down in her bed. The scene switches to her laying in her bed in my bedroom. The sun is lighting up the room through the window like usual. K*G* and I are giving her sugar. She gets annoyed and goes to the bathroom. We go back to her bedroom. J* calls K*G* a bitch. I say "wtf?" K*G* is upset and pissed so she grabs her backpack to leave. I follow her to the door and feel angry at her. J* comes to the door and then asks K*G* to cuddle with her.

      (Regular Dream, Fragmented)
      -I'm at Ross with my cousin C*. She beings telling others about an outfit I picked form the store that won me a car from Oprah. She tries to find the specific pair of shorts but we tell her they won't be here because the stock changes. -I'm still in Ross with the same layout except it's like a hospital. I'm with another older woman and she has a daughter about 5 years old. We are waiting for her grandfather to come out of the surgery room. I walk through a hall and grab him. He didn't have surgery yet but we walked out anyway. He sees an unknown girl and says "Is that my grandson?" I direct him to the right and present him to his granddaughter and he says "Oh, my grandson." (Skip) He's sitting in a chair while other people he knows are talking around him. I feel like an foreigner. He looks at me and I see that he is very dusty. I give him a handshake and step back. Then I give him a hug. We both smile. -I'm still at Ross and am with a woman and her 18~ year old daughter. We are looking for shampoo and come across some bubble bath that I remember as a child. It looks very familiar, like the exact one I used to have. I pick up the grape one from the brightly lit shelves and try to smell its nostalgic aroma. The daughter also grabs bottles and sniffs them. A worker to our right seems to dislike this, even though the one I'm sniffing had already been open and they are not sealed. She speaks into her walkie-talkie to the supervisor, giving our description, what's happening and what our vehicle looks like. The three of us head to the white van, slowly at first, and then rushing. I pull the handle of the door and sit inside quickly. I think I have an eyeglass cloth with me. We drive in a circle and then exit near a Denny's. As we're driving, we see another van with people from Ross speeding over 10 mph faster. A guy from the passenger seat in the front yells "Pull over!" and uses his hands to point. They u-turn back around to speed past us again. I think about the cops coming and that I have a stolen item on me. I look for it and want to throw it out of the window.

    11. Iodsp: Roaring on the mountain!

      by , 08-22-2011 at 07:18 AM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      I am [IMG]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs30/i/2009/247/9/0/Carnal_print_by_nightrhino.jpg[/IMG].

      I am on The Temple of Nothing, the great ziggurat in the City of Nowhere on the Green Moon.

      I howl at the Earth, and roar at the Grey Moon as they rise over the horizon. I roar again, and the ziggurat grows even higher from underneath. I roar again, and slam my snake staff into it. Waterfalls flow down the mountain-temple.

      [IMG]http://img.xcitefun.net/users/2011/05/247503,xcitefun-mount-roraima1.jpg[/IMG]

      I then growl, and my rumbles make plants appear on the terraces.

      [IMG]http://www.crystalinks.com/pyramidbosnia555.jpg[/IMG]

      "This is the Temple of Nothing! This is the Green Mountain of Nothing! I am the God of Nothing, and now, I roar!"

      I start to roar, but I just fall over laughing at the ridiculousness of everything in the Universe.

      MoSh and Raven appear with a whole bunch of people.

      Raven: What are you laughing at?

      Me: Everything.

      Raven giggles. MoSh has some kind of sentient twig in his hand that is crawling and making noise. He says he gave his staff sentience, and now he has to train it. It's a baby snake staff.

      Me: Ok, whatever Moses.

      MoSh points the staff at me, and I turn into a Naga. My eyes turn red, and I open my great snake mouth and roar like a crocodile.

      [video=youtube;v7aOBcD3M70]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7aOBcD3M70[/video]

      My arms become wings. I fly into the sky, and Selene is there with me. We are Nagas.

      I fly to the edge of the atmosphere, and shout into space:

      THIS IS THE GREEN MOON, BITCH. AND HERE, WE ARE FREE! FOREVER!

      [COLOR="blue"]Dream[/COLOR]
      [COLOR="silver"]Thoughts[/COLOR]

      [COLOR="silver"]This night the WBTB alarm woke me up. So tonight I made an attempt!
      On my first awakening, I tried to look for images, listen for sounds and even imagine myself swimming, but none of these worked so I was not in a non-physical focus. On my fourth fourth awakening I felt that my my right foot were outside of the bed and was not covered by my blanket, so it was freezing to death. Then I felt that the rest of my body started to vibrate slightly and then it felt like my whole body was going to get on fire. Everything became so hot that got chocked and that made everything slowly fade back to normal. I said to myself, that I am not going to give up and continued laying still, and constantly checking if I were in a non-physical focus, but I was unfortunately laying in a really weird position, so I couldn't fall back to sleep either, so it was either la there for eternity uncomfortable with no effect or move and get back to sleep.
      I gave up and closed the rest of the alarms and just went back to sleep.[/COLOR]

      [COLOR="blue"]I had a dream about a girl named Johanna, we used to be ehrm in love when we were kids, and when we got older we broke up even if it wasn't that serrious. In this dream I met that girl and said "Hey, it's been a while", but she was shy and seemed a little bit angry at me, so I leaved her alone.[/COLOR]

      [COLOR="blue"]I was standing in my old Taekwondo club and was going to change in the locker room, but when I there I saw that I was standing in the girls locker room. I felt embarrassed and I went to the other, but when I opened the door there was standing a girl changing, then she looked at me and said "Oh I am sorry I must have taken the wrong floor again.." I said "That's ok I forgot my (taekwondo) clothes anyway.."[/COLOR]

      [COLOR="blue"]I were in a small room with nothinh except a big mirror on the wall. The characters from the tv-serie Chaos was standing there too, and they told me to smash the mirror. So I stepped back and smashed it with my elbow and it hurted.
      Behind the mirror my old teacher looked surprised at me, then the dream changed but it was still the same room, and I met my friend Jacob and he told me that they were going to watch a movie at his place and he wondered if I wanted to join.[/COLOR]

      [ATTACH=CONFIG]2456[/ATTACH]

      [COLOR="blue"]I saw a girl and she walked up to me and asked "Do you wanna have sex?" She was way out of my league, so I ... [/COLOR][COLOR="red"]become lucid haha. But at this point I felt soo tired that I asked myself while I was lucid, do I really want to do this? I just want normal rest right now[/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"].. then I woke up. I took the blue pill.[/COLOR]

      [COLOR="silver"]The next night I will start with the original Lucidology training, so this week I will just keep falling asleep through all the alarms.[/COLOR]

      I dreamed that I was smelling something I liked the smell. It smelled so good. It weirded me out that what ever I was smelling...smelled good. You wouldn't expect whatever it was to smell good. Like a dead animal....you wouldn't expect that to smell good?!

    14. "vehicals with no drivers" january 15, 2011

      by , 08-22-2011 at 05:58 AM
      I was standing in an isle at a store that reminds me of walmart. I was with jr, jj, and shane looking at the sex stuff. I was looking for something that would be fun for a three some. I didn't find anything that interested me and jr and jj was rushing me. I decided fuck them and I grabbed shane and started kissing him. The room changed to where we was alone in my moms old room at the farm house. I had an orgasm. Shane left and I walked into the living room and I sat down in the recliner with jr. Jr's dad keith was there in the recliner next to us. We was watching some show on tv....Tyler was on the show. I said out loud "god, why can't he just disappear?". Jr's dad asked me "what, do you know him?" I said "yeah, he's one of my ex's" jr's dad laughed at this. Then I got up and looked out the door. It was the outside of my grandma's trailer. I see pail blue headlights coming down the road. It was some type of truck and went slow like it was looking at me. I could clearly see there was no driver. It continued down the road out of my sight and another vehicle with the same lights came down the road but a car. It passed slowly just like the first one with no driver until it wasn't in my view. Then a four wheeler came down the road, same lights, no driver untill it was out of my view. Then a tiny remote control car with the same lights came up next to a tree and "died". The lights went out. Then I wondered iff all of the vehicles that had pass had "died" too? I went inside the trailer to ask my grandpa where the trash dump was...and why the stuff was attracted to this area? (The question made sense in my dream). I went in and asked him the questions and he got really excited I had asked. Enthusiastically he told me "the dump is down the road to the left. On the lake. Once you get there, there is a spoty and you can't miss it.". I went out side to get the boys (jr, jj, shane, keith and tyler) from behind the trailer in the woods to come with me. When stepping outside and I see the woods on the right of the trailer, from the road all the way behind the trailer was on fire. I ran out there to stop them from spreading and blew the fires out with my breath. I started at the road and progressed to behind the trailer blowing out the fires. When reaching the back of the trailer the window to the trailer was on fire. The weirdest fire I'd ever seen but beautiful! I blew it out. I looked to the front of the house and the fire next to the road was back. I went to blow it out but I noticed a figure in the fire. I stared and the figure became clear. Simon was in the middle of the fire playing with toys. I reached to pull him out and woke up with him in my arms.

    15. A Different Kind of Flambé - Cherry on Fire

      Notes:
      I was half-asleep a few nights ago and got some nonsensical imagery of flames, elephants and fruits, cherries being one of them. I then got the random idea to set a cherry on fire in an upcoming lucid. I didn't plan on doing it this soon because I had more dated goals, but in this LD, my logic wasn't completely turned on and my memory of waking life events wasn't too good. When lucid, I thought about what I wanted to do for a few moments, and only remembered to do the cherry thing. If I had the awareness I would've done something else, but...

      A final note, I had this dream after waking up in the middle of the night for two hours, feeling really sick, then going back to bed when my stomach settled down. I did a few RCs and awareness sessions during this time. As for the dream itself, I was pretty tired and fell asleep right away, so I'm surprised I remember as much of it as I do.

      I was in my "house", except this wasn't quite my actual house. It was a single square room, probably only 15x15 feet, and it was darkly-lit so I couldn't see what kind of flooring it had. I did see the walls were a lighter blue with a slight green tint, and the molding around the ceiling and along the floor was white, and relatively plain. The room was divided in two equal sections by another wall, of the same color, that ran from one side of it to the other. It had a large, clean rectangular opening so that if you were to look at the wall, you'd see the other half of the room. The opening in the dividing wall must have been three feet tall and six feet wide, and positioned more to the left side. On the right was a basic open doorway, with no door.

      I was standing on one side of this wall and looking at the other side; it consisted of a basic kitchen countertop, white in color with dark wooden cabinets. There were no chairs or tables, or a fridge, just the counters. The center of the room had a warm yellow light shining down on it, which dissipated towards the walls of the room. In the half of the room I was in, there was little lighting except a bit coming in from a window. When you looked out the window, you could see a very dark, pale blue street with snow. That seems to be a common setting for houses in my dreams.

      I leaned up against the opening of the wall and put my arms over the foot-thick structure; I became lucid as I did this. I noticed the appearance of the opening change a bit; before it was just lined by the blue-green wall, but now it was lined with polished, lighter wood (bamboo-color?). It was like the lining of a windowsill. I counted my fingers, one, two, three, four, five... But I knew better than to assume anything by just using the finger check, so I plugged my nose and I could breathe; the air felt still and it was room temperature. I also noted the location I was in, and then realized it was a combination of my old house's living room and a kitchen.

      For stabilization, I took a few steps back and looked at the wood on the rectangular wall opening; I could see a few small holes in it, probably the size of thumbtack heads, but it wasn't littered with them. I then put my right hand on the wood and moved it along, seeing how it felt. It felt like polished wood, where there was a bit of friction and it took slightly more effort to move my hand. It was realistic; the more intensely I observed the wood, the cooler it felt. I then rubbed my hands together and tried to think about what my dream goals were; after ten seconds I remembered wanting to set a cherry on fire, so I held my right hand out in front of me, forming a fist. After doing this, I moved my thumb out to the right and my last for digits downwards a bit, imagining a cherry to roll up a bit from inside my grip. A maraschino cherry appeared; it was bright red like the real thing, but the stem was half the size it should've been, and it was very slightly transparent, making its color a bit lighter than normal. I looked closely at it, then started to use pyrokinesis. I imagined warmth coming from the cherry and saw that the places where my hand was touching it ripple outward slightly, and these ripples glowed orange. The left and right of the cherry then started to show a sleek flame coming up from either side; this flame was mostly red-orange but also had some yellow blended in.

      It took about a minute to get a flame to fully encapsulate the cherry, but I did it. The flame was very realistic and seemed to come mostly from the bottom and rise up and around the cherry, but a few smaller licks of fire came from in between the fruit and where I was touching it. I'd never seen so realistic flames in a dream before, so I was mesmerized! I didn't feel a burn from the fire coming from the cherry, but just a slight 'fuzziness', as if I was rubbing my fingers against a chalkboard.

      The cherry looked the same as it did initially, not burning or anything. But as the dream started to end, I popped the cherry into my mouth. It tasted like pure white sugar. The outside was crispy as if it had been charred, though when I was holding it before, it was soft and visibly unaffected by the fire.


      I tried a DEILD, but it failed because I accidentally opened my eyes!
