I remember eating a pot firecracker and getting extremely high. So high to the point where I was in a field with a friend, but feeling like I was climbing a mountain. I also remember fragments of being in a mall. movie theater, and coming down from my high and having my dad extremely disappointed in me, but he said something like "well atleast you did it when you were with me, and not somewhere unsafe." I felt like complete crap afterward.

Finally, somewhere more exciting than Word 2010 to keep this log! You'll probably want to read this through; the title doesn't make sense until the end.

So, this is not exactly a "journal," but rather a log book for a project I am conducting involving lucid dreams. I have been doing mini-projects, but I am officially starting tonight. (This log is mostly for my own personal reference, but I figured I would post it here as well just incase someone wanted to read it!)

I have had countless questions involving lucid dreams that I've always wanted answers to. Some of these questions may have already been answered, but I'm the kind of person who wants to be able to tell people that I know something because I've experienced it first hand. If I have a question involving dreams, I will do an experiment, and write a log about it here. And eventually, I am hoping that others can give me ideas so I can keep this log going at a steady rate.

Enough chatter, time for the first experiment.

I've lately been wanting to know what would happen if I was to, in a lucid dream, play board games with my subconscious. This will probably be interesting considering your logic center is partly off when you're dreaming - so I want to know how advanced of a board game my subconscious can handle, if any at all. I have heard strange stories of people trying to do this, but I want to see for myself. As I said before, I will be documenting all of my progress on this experiment in here. I will be starting with Tic-Tac-Toe, moving on to Checkers, and then if all before is successful; Chess. This experiment will be done using the WILD method. I will write another log once I get some progress.

Game on!

In the meantime, here's one of my dream journal entries from last night:


DREAM JOURNAL ENTRY 2/23/2011 6:35PM

I had two dreams. One of them was lucid. The time they occured was most likely the morning of 2/23/2011; before 7:00AM.

#1: The first dream randomly turned into a lucid, not sure how. I was standing on a bridge with two Dream Characters. I was in the same setting as the second dream that I would have after this. This one, unfortunately, turned out to be a fading lucid, and it is hard for me to remember every detail, but I do know that it was pretty cool when I realized I was dreaming.

The bridge was big; going over some sort of dry lake. It was made of copper and iron, and me and the DCs seemed to be climbing over it. The sun was out. Then, out of the blue, I suddenly realized I was dreaming. I decided to go and try to convince one of the DCs that he was in a dream just to see his reaction. This DC had dark brown anime-like hair, and was wearing brown too. I don't remember his reaction because I started slipping out of lucidity even though I tried my best not to. Then I became slightly awake, then went off to have another non-lucid (normal) dream.

#2: Dream 2 was weird. The entire thing was based on me preparing for a giant pre-apocalypse battle in another dimension. I forgot exactly what we were fighting, but I think it was an army of demon-like creatures, led by some she-villain. I remember gathering practically every monster/being/soldier from every time period, dimension, universe, everything. I also remember giving war-tactics to some people who were working with me. I also remember some of our creatures dying. There were dragons, HUGE mecha robots, aliens I had never seen before, future-soldiers, etc. I was the human, and I was also a wizard - apparently, magic would be the skill that I would use in battle. The DC I tried to convince was in a dream was there too; he was an elf.

1st. Started off in the same world as yesterday. I stool all teh food from teh dietitians shop ran home, and I realised it was a mistake, I looked for my cell phone so I could revert to an hour prior and, unable to find anything, I collapsed on the bed, waking up now.

2nd. Don't remember much but, once again, started where the other two left off

3rd. I was in the mafia. I shot a higher up, and they were considering killing me. One of my school friends gave me a smoke... god I need a smoke

02/22/11

Three people sit around a table. Two of them are dead.

The bodies are slumped at awkward angles, twitching. Under their skin, tiny creatures mass and swarm and crawl, and at any moment, the meat-sacks will burst at the seams and the kitchen floor will be flooded with blood and tissues and squirming maggots.

A little girl sits in the third place-setting, quietly finishing her homework.

They play hopscotch on the sidewalk, and they make fun of her. They don't know what she could do to them, what she's about to do. Calling through cracks in the sidewalk, calling up all the little things that crawl.

She doesn't realize that she's raised a hand, fingers stretched out, until another hand is closing over hers and forcing her arm down. She turns and meets the cool stare and raised eyebrows, and knows that the black-clothed child is other, like her.

This "Samael" has a job offer for her, and so she follows.

Door after door leading to white hallway after white hallway. "You must remember the way," he says, "For you will return alone."

The next room is an airy loft, warm lights illuminating hardwood floors and brick walls, black leather furniture and red accents. Light streams in from the windows, but I don't look outside. My focus is on the jewelry box which sits on the black coffee table.

Dark stained oak, cheap brass clasp. Approximately six inches across, four inches tall, five inches deep. I flick open the cheap brass clasp. Red velvet? Darker. Not black, too repetitive. Inside the box is an onyx pendant, oval-shaped, set in silver.



My mind filters the details automatically, but I'm focused on the brief spark of red energy, invisible threads latching onto my energy reserves and trailing through another level of the dream-world. A horcrux, then.

Dark. Underground. Cavernous. Walls drip with slime and... blood, yes. No smell, no sensory input other than sight. Area is large, but confining. Can feel the thing trapped here, straining against its bonds.

Sharp movement. Living, shapeless mass of flesh and grinding bone. Something claws its way from inside, tears the creature open from the inside. A humanoid figure steps out of the bloody, writhing thing. This is the monster.

"Run," I say to the other man. "You need to get as far away from me–"

Too late. The room goes pure white in an instant, powered by the horcrux's parasitic bond. A cloaked figure unfurls itself across the room, stands up straight and I make a sharp gesture with my ebony wand, shouting and pulling on the emotions that I need to fuel the spell.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

White noise is deafening and the room gets brighter than should be possible and - nothing.






He sits poised on the far end of the couch, staring disapprovingly at his cup of tea. Earl Grey in delicate white china, set in a saucer that he holds in his left hand. I'm on the other end of the couch, looking straight at him. I probably have a cup of tea, or maybe it's sitting on the coffee table.

"So," I say casually, "From one dark wizard to another..."

He smirks at that. "A dark wizard, Harry? You?"

"This time around, it's different." I say with a scowl, "What was the first curse I cast at you, again?"

"As I recall," he says, taking a sip of the tea, "You attempted to cast the killing curse."

Attempted–?

"You lack the hatred required to fuel the spell." He explains, and he meets my eyes. "This version of you does not love, Harry. All you have is apathy."

Payback (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The dream starts IN SPACE!!!!!!! The location is a literal space "ship." It looks like a pirate ship, only with a series of pipes on the bottom. Instead of participating in the dream, I am instead watching Zuko from Avatar attempting suicide. He is in the pipes and starting to make his way to space. He jettisons from the ship and starts to die when Uncle (also from Avatar) saves him and starts making a bullshit speech about not death when they go back aaannnndddd the scene changes. Suddenly I am at my cousin's house. In it I find CoD: Black Ops. I get exited because I have never played it and want to see what it's like. So I begin playing when suddenly I am in the game. So for some reason instead of shooting I'm going Sam Fisher on the bad guys by sneaking and assassinating them a la Halo Reach. Soon though two enemys see me and begin shooting me with a rocket launcher. My team finally arrives though and we kick major ass. So I grab the rocket launcher and see ammo for it taped to the wall. I fill it up and we begin to climb a huge flight of stairs. When we reach the top, one of my teammates falls off and somehow starts walking on the wall. He says to get him down I have to kill him. Something about a machine that kills him, his skin falls off, a restraunt, and fancy bathrooms with fast food joints in the bathroom.

Vivid Dream (2-23-11)

This is after a failed WILD attempt.

I was in a dream and in that dream I felt like I had been to the exact dream before.

The dream was basically a secret passage into an area where I think I (And my friends.) had to blow up. (I say this because my friend had some sort of bomb.)

The passage consisted of multiple tunnels that we had to crawl through. There was also a guy at the beginning that threatened to do something to me if I didn't show him how to get in the secret passage way.

Because I had a dream like this before, (I think) I new how to get through the tunnels. There were also dead ends everywhere and the passage ways were kind of like a maze.

As me and my friends made it through the maze, we made it to a part where in the maze, there was a party where kids at my school where. There was pizza, drinks and everything.

I sat down and talked to my friends. I woke up to my vibrating cellphone.

Due to a completely fucked sleeping schedule, I haven't had a good dream recall let alone a lucid in a long time.

This one was definitely memorable though. Not necessarily in a good way.

After going on a starbucks run with my friend S (who has just gone through, yet another, serious breakup) I find out that the US government is after him. Why? For cheating on his girlfriend (which he did not do in reality). The sentence? He's going to be executed. Bit of a harsh verdict, but I don't think anything of it due to dream logic. I see him tied to a chair in the stairwell of our dorm building and suddenly I have a gun. I know that I have to shoot him or else bad things are going to happen. Not exactly sure what, but I believe the government was going to torture S. I aim the gun at him and question whether I can really do it. When I finally work up the courage to pull the trigger, I hear a click. The gun is empty. The whole time S sits there saying nothing. This makes me a killer AND my friend is still going to be tortured. I drop the gun and sit in the corner, almost crying.

I find out that if I can find a key I can at least save him from being tortured. I spend a large portion of the dream looking for a key until I found out that my friend P has a massive tank of water in her room which i have to stick my arm into to get the key. I use it and unlock a little medicine cabinet on the wall near the stairwell and it's filled with poisons and various little weapons. I'm still reluctant, so my other friend Andrew grabs a knife and joyfully goes to do the job for me. I spend time ruminating about the US government and how all he did was cheat on his girl. I wake up in a pretty bad mood.

Also, I think this dream was stuck somewhere in between my looking for the key. I'm hanging out with this kid from back in high school who I had absolutely despised. Me and him are going to the gym and then going to get jobs together at some place called Jelly Donut. I'm not getting along with him (as usual) but for some reason he's convinced me that we will both get jobs if we go together. Weird.

I was out on some random residential street. It was nighttime it seemed. Suddenly a large squad of police was there, roaming around the neighborhood. Apparently someone around there had been smoking crack or something (don't ask O.o), and they were searching for the person. They had multiple brown and black hounds that were sniffing up the ground and barking. There were also some policemen in these weird netted suits. I could smell this "crack"; there was a slight burned scent in the air.

Eventually I got away from this. There was something about some building and KR and some others. The last I remember was I was in some room with lots of food. I was lucid. I knew I was dreaming, but I didn't take that much notice or control over it. I remember thinking something about how I was dreaming and i could do anything, and that meant eating off of this random table of sweets. I particularly remember sipping from a mug of hot chocolate, but can't remember much else other than that.

DJ Log: February 23, 2011 – 7:00AM (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

A few random fragments from this morning include:
(1) Walking into my office and finding a large sinkhole in the middle of the floor.
(2) Getting into a fight with my steering wheel because the horn honks randomly while I'm driving.
(3) Looking for a dream on eBay. (Why this one didn't trigger a lucid is beyond me...)

2-21-11: It all started with a band trip to Disney; well actually it was the day before the trip. I woke up and looked at my alarm clock. It was 3:00 p.m. and I started to panic. It was the day before the trip and we had practice and it started at 3! I jolted up and checked my cell phone. It was the same day we had practice, but I had read the alarm clock wrong, it was only 3 in the morning. I sighed and went back to bed, when I woke up it was 2:00 p.m. and I rushed to get to the school. I got there and walked into the band room. I talked to someone for a moment and got my trumpet out, after that I walked to the field and had marching practice for an hour (thank God I don’t remember that!) The next thing I remember was getting on the bus to go to Disney and the scene cut to when we stopped, but it wasn’t Disney. We were at a harbor and Covenant (Aliens from Halo) was attacking us. I got out and grabbed a gun from nearby and started shooting. Almost everyone panicked and tried running away, but the Covenant got to them first. The ones that didn’t panic grabbed a gun with me and returned the fire. We had to retreat a little a couple people went into an old rusted building and we defended it from the attackers. I suddenly ran out of ammo and yelled for someone to help me find a gun. They ignored me and I searched through the bodies to find a weapon. I was suddenly attacked, a being choked. I pulled out the knife and stabbed the creature, then stood up and suddenly I was looking through the view of one of the Covenant. I had a gun and I was firing at a bunch of people near some rusted building. Then the scene cut back to me and I was on a ship headed back to Earth. (Apparently I was on some other planet when the Covenant attacked.) The ship landed and I got out and headed into the cafeteria of my school and it was lunch time, so I got a lunch and sat down and talked to D and E. We chatted about the battle and how well we were shooting. After we all got done chatting I got up to throw my lunch away and then I went outside for band practice. It was snowing out, but I didn’t feel the cold. I got my trumpet out and started to play it. Satisfied with how it sounded I walked to where the rest of the band was and watched as a few people started marching. I put my trumpet down and walked to a small cabin nearby and went inside. A fire was going and I went over and sat down in a chair at a table. I just sat there for a moment then heard some noise outside. I walked back up the hill, the school was no longer there, but a mountain and road were in its place. I saw a black car coming and it stopped where I was. D asked me if I was coming with him, I told him no and he threw me a gun and told me good luck and to be careful and drove off. I told the gun and loaded a magazine into it and looked up at the moon. It was orange and giving an eerie glow to the area around me. I started running down the road and I head a narration.
“And every yellow moon the warriors of the dead rise to do battle, trapped in time, not knowing how to end the loop.”
I thought to myself, so, was I one of the dead warriors? If not, what if I died on this night, would I become one of them? I ran back to the cabin and looked through the door for a moment and it felt like something was watching me. I turned around and a woman with black hair and a white dress was staring at me. I panicked and tried to shoot, but the magazine wasn’t pushed in all the way and I started running. I ran past her, she was a vampire, so that’s what the mysterious narration meant. I saw more of them, at least ten. I ran faster and finished loading the clip. Two of them were chasing me and I ran across a parking lot and as I ran I turned my upper body to face them and aimed carefully. I shot and it tore into one of them and I focused on running again. I came up to a city block and the remaining vampire that was chasing me got even closer. I suddenly realized something, if I got to a friend that owned a club nearby in a mall could kill the vampire. I turned around and tried running past the vampire, but it didn’t work. I was caught and suddenly felt very tired and dizzy. I was dying and I welcomed it. I couldn’t think at all, but a moment before death I remembered that friend at the club. I would be okay if I got to him.
“I know I’m going to die, but at least let me enjoy a moment at a club. Go gambling or something. I want to enjoy the last few moments of my waking life, please.”
I suddenly stopped feeling tired and I found that I could see again. No way, it actually worked! I ran towards the mall and the vampire followed after me. I got inside and kept running until I came up to a casino.
“I could’ve sworn his club was here.” I said to myself.
Someone at the door heard me and asked if I was Lilith. I said yes and the man said that the owner was expecting me. I walked inside with the vampire and looked around and walked towards where the owner was, but a man that looked like the Joker stopped me and was walking about dying. He said, “If you are dying fight to live, because if you just give up your life was meaningless.”
Then he walked away and I kept walking to the door and I woke up.

2-18-11: A coliseum first started to appear, and I became lucid, remembering that I wanted to fight in a coliseum, but the dream was just starting to form so I lost lucidity within seconds and the scene changed to the backyard of my mother’s house and I was fighting someone for a gun. I killed the man and took the gun. It could fit 32 bullets in it and had 32 separate hammers. It was an old fashioned looking rifle, but was a comfortable weight. I walked around the side of the house and the scene changed again as I walked. I was looking at the gun some more and the scene slowly changed into a pier, and I realized I was in Bowerstone Industrial in Fable. I saw a voting table and walked over to it and voted on something (I forget exactly what it was for.) Then I boarded a ship and went down a few steps and walked into a large room and looked at my gun some more. Something happened after that, but it remains absent from my memory. Then I remember traveling through a maze made out of old wood and my DG helped me out of it, by letting me walk through the walls, then after that I started walking towards a waterfall and all of a sudden I was on an island and someone told me I could fly and I would get an achievement more flying so far. I got a running start and then began to fly. I soon came to the other side of the island and a little past the water then ran into an invisible barrier. Frustrated I turned back and landed in the water. I swam back to the island and saw a giant bear and a spider then I was teleported to a jungle where I was on a dirt path near a town and I was supposed to kill all of the goblins in the area. I cautiously walked along the path then when I got near some ruins I went in between the trees and saw a caravan and some goblins. They were tall and green and basically looked like the orcs from WoW, except slimmer and not as muscular. I walked towards the caravan confidently and they saw me and I started shooting at them, my bullets not missing their targets. A group of people came up to me and explained they were also hunting goblins and wanted me to join their group. I agreed and we walked through a run-down town and soon found more ruins and another goblin caravan. I was shooting while their mage threw fire at them and the rest using bows and swords. We were almost finished with them and more goblins began to appear and everyone backed up, including me except for the mage and all of a sudden they burst into flame and I found that after they were dead I gained a power, which was called Rain of Blood, which made it rain poisonous-like blood. My quest ended I teleported back to the waterfall I was at earlier and I received a bright white sword and I started to climb up some ledges near the falls and I woke up.

DELETED

I have a hard time remembering what happened last night but I do remember being back in high school and I came across my old teacher who I hugged then I walked off into this blurry highway. Also somehow I think there was a dragon ball z character in this dream also. I told my body to remember my dream last night, oh well try again tonight.
