Lucid Dream 178: Not to Scale
Series: The Land of Dreams, Episode 2
DEILD

Category - Exploration


...I smoothly transitioned back into the dream state and realized I was still on the beach. It was night time though, and I decided to try and raise the sun. I left the beach area and walked to the other side of a nearby house. I looked into the sky, raised my hand slowly, and imagined the sun rising. Slowly, the sun began to peak out from the surrounding mountain ranges. The sun was a bright neon purple color. I raised it all the way up over the mountain range and it started to pulse. The sun was firing off deep purple shock waves that mixed into the dark sky...tenting the dark sky a deep purple color. As the shock waves passed over stars, the stars began to flash (twinkle) in many different colors. The stars began swirling and formed trippy formations. There were mushrooms, alien heads, u.f.o.'s, a dog house, large 5-point stars, and some other things. The stars were flashing different colors and the entire sky was like one big acid trip (maybe, I've never done acid, but you get the picture...lol). After just watching for a while, I decided to go ahead and light the sky normally. I looked off into the horizon and imagined the sun rising. With little effort, the sun rose into the sky, eliminating the atmospheric disco in the process.

I decided to call out to Seine (my dream pet/accomplice...he is a lunar wolf). I called his name several times and he eventually came barreling up over the nearby hill and stopped beside me. I telepathically said to him, "Lets fly!" I hopped onto his back and we took flight. The wind felt amazing against my face. The sun was warm, but unlike real life, I could stare directly into it and my eyes weren't effected. We flew over several mountains and forests when I spotted an airplane flying to my left (it was up much higher in the air than we were). Seine immediately howled and made a sharp turned toward the plane. He started growling and flew in its direction. I grabbed him by the fur on the back of his neck and turned him away. "No, we can't follow that right now, I'm looking for something!" I could tell he wasn't pleased, but he turned and continued in the direction I was steering him. He soon forgot about the plane and was wagging his tail as we flew. I pushed down slightly on his neck and he plunged toward the ground. I pulled up on his fur just before we hit then ground and we flattened out parallel to it. We began flying through a twisted path through the woods. There were tall, thick masses of trees on either side as we winded deeper and deeper into the forest. Soon the area opened up to a small lake (or possibly a large pond). I noticed some strange formations on the other side of the pond, so I steered us across. As we crossed the pond/lake I kicked off my shoes and let my feet skim the water. It was refreshingly cool. I dismounted Seine and felt the soft fluffy grass between my toes as I walked toward the strange formations.

I noticed they were extremely small houses. There was an entire mini village. The houses were around 1 or 2 feet tall. There were small sidewalks, mailboxes, and picket fences. I looked into one of the windows and saw the blur of a tiny person quickly slamming closed the curtains. All the houses windows were blocked by curtains. I saw a tiny note laying on one of the houses porches. I tried to read it, but I made the mistake of starting over and all the words had changed. It started with "Return to your giant village and...." There was quite a bit more, but I accidentally changed it. I looked out beyond the tiny village and saw a huge wall. As I examined the wall, I noticed that it belonged to an enormous house. To this house, I was about the size of an action figure (maybe a little bigger). There were many more houses behind it and it appeared to be a giant village. I was just about to take flight and explore the giant village, when the dream began to fade. I didn't want to risk forgetting this very vivid dream, so I allowed myself to wake.

My Notes
Non-lucid
Lucid
Awake

I awake to my alarm. I remember that I need to get up and wake myself up, so I do. First, I write down all the dreams I remember on my iPod. It's about 6:25 I think. I get up and go to get a drink of orange juice. I see my dad and say good morning. Back in my bed, I try to WILD. Everything goes well for about 15 minutes. I begin feel slightly numb.
I wake up a few hours later and realise I fell asleep.

Lisa Simpson is at an old, dirty, and slightly flooded closed outdoor swimming pool. She is trying to get it re-opened. Nelson is also there. He is saying to her she should drink the water, if she wants the pool re-opened. In this dream, the scenery is of a lower-class town. It is the early hours of the morning. Almost everything is made of old stone.

In the second dream, the scenery is similar to the previous dream. There is a reporter interviewing a 13 year-old gothic girl who is getting married. The reporter can't stand the girl's vocabulary.

In the third dream, a kid named Joe from my school is with another kid called Ash. They were messing about, but I don't really remember what they did. A kid named Daniel —also from my school— and I are trying to find our phones in a big, clear, rectangle box filled with phones. I find two iPads. They don't look like regular iPads; they have the button on the side, and they appear cheaper made. He hands me my phone. It's an iPhone, but it has a different shape and a orange back cover. I marvel at its looks, as I walk away.
I've just walked through some doors. I'm holding my school books. I pass a large pot-plant. It has big, dead, white caterpillars on it. Another kid and I both say how gross it is.

In the fourth dream I'm in a bed. It wasn't actually my bed. Behind my head was a window. It was completely dark. Smoke seeps into the room. My dad walks over and opens the window very slightly, letting in a tiny ray of light. The smoke gets sucked out. I thank him, but I'm slightly annoyed he let light in.

I don't actually remember the sixth dream, however it is still written down on iPod. Here's the direct quote. It may be messy, since I rushed it.
I'm at a school bench I think and ash and Joe are still with me. I think I looked at a coldplay cd and thought it was good, but kept quiet because I didn't want to look lame.

In the sixth dream, I'm with Joel Luke and Brant. Luke says how tall I've gotten. I go under something to grab an old piece of clothing, to compare it to what I'm wearing now.
We're all watching a film that I've already seen. I remember seeing a strange shape flying through pretty dream-flowers. A sad part comes on, and the theme music to the film Up starts playing. I look to my right and find Joel tearing-up.
I'm back in the room from the beginning of the dream. I run over to Luke, and am horrified to find I'm not wearing any pants. I run back, embarrassed.

I was with a friend from elementary school, B, and we were looking through the grass on the cliff we were on (we often hunted bugs as children ^_^) when B screams, scared of something. I look over to see something strange in the grass. As first it looked like a fake skeleton. I picked it up to find that it was real. It looked like a small monkey like creature about 1ft long.

I look to the direction we had come from (I just knew it is where we came from) to see that from the angle we were at there was a secret passage to another dimension. We crawl into it to see a bunch of bizarre things. The only one I remember is a bunch of birds having some sort of military drill. Me in the dream had some sort of "I told you so" moment (apparently in the dream I thought stuff like that went on XD)

dream skip (still in the same dream though)

I suddenly knew that the Queen of this land was from the future, here to prevent the start of a mutiny. For some reason, she was starting to forget the time she had come from, which did not have strange things going on. It was much more how the real world was. I was trying to get her to remember something from her time. And she thought of a memory of meeting some of her friends by a car, but her memory was becoming contorted by what she had seen in the time period she was in. And I knew that if she could not remember her memory properly she would be trapped in the time period.

dream skip (still in the same dream though)

I was in a group of people outside the queens castle. Everything was ok until she called out someone in the crowd on something. The person got angry and began to rile up the crowd. I turn to see it is B as an adult.

I realize her attempt to stop a mutiny was actually a self-fulfilling prophecy, and she was the one causing the mutiny.

That is when my alarm went off -_-

Unfortunatley this morning I didn't have much success due to the amount of noise everyone was making.
But I nearly have the wave and had heaviness I could also feel my astral hand moving a little bit.
I'm going to try again this weekend because School is going to mess up any attempts I make.

Ok this dream is now mostly too hazy to recall, but it was still AWESOME. Last night, I went to see Kids Can't Fly, Octane OK, Last Letter Read and The Exposed. Okay so I ended up crashing on my mate Alex's floor, still in my skinny jeans, clothes and all. Anyways enough about the kick ass night... :') More about the dream.

All I remember of this dream really is my best friend being in it and for some reason I was in some sort of bad mood with her. It was like I was seeing this dream through a camera lens... I could see, closer to it, I was having a go at my best mate. In the background Octane OK were playing further out into the background. I was thinking about the guy from Octane OK we met outside the wedge (the venue). He was so awesome, we all gave him a hug. And a guy from Kids Can't Fly. He was sweaty...

Enough about that! Today, I had got home and had a well deserved bath, I felt a bit crappy so I retired to my bed and put Papa Roach on full blast. It was loud. I was just layin' there, being slightly annoyed and stuff, when my head just got... fuzzy. That's the only word to describe it. My thought pattern just went so weird... All over the place. It was like... I was awake... but not awake. If that makes sense...

Dream Lucid Partially lucid


Feb. 12, '11: I was walking through some wide hallways with Adam and Nathan. We found a university-type classroom. It was open to the hallway, with a missing wall. There was no class at the moment. The professor was there. He was very strange looking, with a big mustache, partially bald with dreadlocks.
I didn't trust him, and I suspected that his mustache was fake.

He offered to teach us a class about modifying animal and human body parts. I was scared and left.
I found my family (and friends?) at a round table. I felt that the professor was coming after me, now as a monster.
I pretended to have a gun to protect myself. It was invisible, but it worked.

I was partially lucid. I had sex with J. She said "well that's cold." I pointed out that it was interesting how she said what I figured she would say in waking life (she is often sarcastic), rather than saying some fantasy thing.
I pretended that she said some ridiculous (cheesy) sexy thing and we both seemed to get more passionate.

I am most distracted by sex when I am only partially lucid, and not fully conscious.

In another dream, I think I was partially lucid. I was floating in the air with N. She showed me how to fly by pushing the ground with energy from my palms. I thought it was an interesting method of flight.

[This chapter marks the start of my ability to have my dreams feel like a movie. I am able to watch/feel anything from any person's point of view and everything is just centered around drama instead of dream logic or common dream weirdness or events. This is why I am able to watch Chris and Brad talk about me even though I am not present.]

Arriving at the Turtle Inn, it's nothing short of a tropical heaven. White sandy beaches, clear blue water. Except for myself and the occasional employee, there is no one else in sight, since I have made sure to reserve the entire place for myself.

The second full night I am there, I am enjoying a lobster dinner at sunset when I am approached by the Inn's manager, a man I have already met but have forgotten his name.

"is the meal to your liking?" He asks, making smalltalk.

"Oh yes, thank you." I say, smiling appreciatively. "Everything is lovely." I expect him to fall back and to leave now, but he still stands there uncomfortably, without saying a word.

"Is there something wrong? Am I doing something?" I am terrified at having offended anyone, and my mind races with things I could have done or said to warrant a special visit from the manager.

"Oh no, please excuse me for making you think that. It's just.." he hesitates, and stammers a bit. "I know you specifically rented out the entire inn but we have someone that is very insistent on wanting a villa, a very special guest that we do not like to say no to.." His voice trails off there and he coughs.

I nod, already knowing I should relent, as it's only the polite thing to do. Having been here only two days, I already feel so much better and at peace with myself, that I know I won't be minded by other guests. "I understand, please do not say no to this person on my account, I do not mind the added company like I once thought I would."

The manager brightens, clearing his throat once more before he briskly takes his leave. I am a little taken aback by everything, but clear my mind of any negative thoughts and go back to enjoying my dinner.

The next morning, I decide I want to pitch a tent on the north side of the island, a short walk away from the villas. I spend the entire day swimming in the ocean and running around in the sand and exploring. By sunset, I am in my tent, reading a book by halogen light.

Back at the Inn, Brad arrives. Since our introduction, he hasn't been able to get me off his mind. He cut the visit with Chris short, and after much sweet talking and trying to bribe the workers of various airlines figured out my destination and decided to follow me there.

As the bellhop helps him with his bags, Brad looks quizzically over the vacant landscape. "Isn't there another guest staying here?"

The bellhop nods and says "Yessir, at the villa number one, on the other end of the island."

After his dinner, Brad decides to take a "casual stroll" down the beach towards the villa where I am supposed to be staying, only of course to see me not there.

By now the sun is almost completely gone and it begins to rain, so Brad heads back the way he came.

Back in my tent, the wind is howling now and the rain is torrential. I am in a sleeping bag but wide awake due to the noise. Suddenly the tent collapses, rain getting everywhere and I shriek.

I grab my book and light, leaving the rest to the beach and start make the long run back to the inn.

I am soaked to the bone quickly, and I start laughing at the absurdity of my life. Staggering past the villas now, I don't even notice the extra villa with the light on, and continue to the other end to mine.

Brad sees me just as I make it to my door and I walk inside. He begins to sprint to my villa, overtaken by the need to see me.

I am still laughing as I close my door, running my fingers through my long hair trying to get the excess water off. I grab a beach towel lying on my bed and use that to dry myself as best I can.

Dropping the towel and before I can begin to undress and change clothes, Brad is at my door. As everything is transparent, I can tell it's him instantly and let him in.

"You followed me?" I stare at him incredulously.

Slightly out of breath from running and now as soaked as I am, he responds "I saw you running in the rain, are you okay??"

I laugh at his concern "Yeah of course, I was going to try staying in a tent on the shore but it capsized in the storm so I had to make a run for it." I pause for a moment and then ask "Are you okay?"

Brad smiles with a hint of embarrassment and replies "Yeah, I guess I just forgot to pack an umbrella."

I laugh loudly "Yeah, me too. But..what are you doing here?"

Brad runs a hand through his hair, embarrassed to tell the truth. "I didn't know how to deal with this."

"Deal with what?"

"The fact that I've fallen for you and I don't even know your name."

Wide-eyed, I am at a loss for words for a moment. I try to read Brad's face, and can see nothing but sincerity and I already know whatever I do, that this is going to end badly.

I step closer to him, both of our clothes dripping and let go of all the inhibitions I can muster. "My name...is Sera."

And suddenly we're kissing passionately, wet clothes are discarded and we are making love on the bed.

Post coitus, listening to the thunder and rain outside, my head resting on his chest, I can't help the next sentence that comes out of my mouth.

"Can I ask you something? Was I...okay?" I blush, unsure if he could tell I was a virgin before then.

I pull back from him now to watch his face and return to my own pillow and he smiles easily and says "Yes, you were great" and pulls my waist to be closer to him.

With a second thought, he replies "Wait..was I okay???"

I grin toothily at him "You were..amazing." and we begin kissing again, leading to more sex and finally sleep.

The clock reads 4am and I am wide awake in the dark. The storm has long passed and so has my reasoning to believe that a relationship between Brad and I could actually work. As quietly as possible, I get dressed and leave the villa.

Making plans with the manager, I leave on the first plane back to the States before Brad has even awoken.

Brad, after finding I have vanished, makes the flight back to LA, rushing to Chris' house unannounced.

When Chris opens the door Brad is frantic. "Where is she? SERA!?!?!?" He shouts past Chris into the house "Sera, are you here???"

Chris is shocked and tries his best to calm Brad down as he let's him into the house and Brad runs into the guest room I had previously stayed in seeing it still empty. "Has Sera said anything to you about where was going? I need to talk to her. I need to.."

Chris shakes his head "Brad, you need to calm down. Tell me what happened."

Brad sits down on the bed and tells him about following me to Belize, and admitting falling for me, and the amazing sex. "..but then I woke up and she was gone, man. Management said she had a family emergency and left and wouldn't give me any of her info or anything."

Chris tries to process all of this information "You slept with..?" unable to finish the sentence, he sits down next on the bed next to Brad.

"Yeah I mean, you know, you've slept with her. She's amazing."

Chris stares blankly at the floor "No X and I, we never..I mean we've kissed but that's.." Chris looks at Brad and Brad instantly feels like shit for saying anything.

"Oh man, I'm sorry. I just thought you know, that you and Sera had something. I'm sorry. But seriously, can I have her number? I can't leave things like that."

Chris feels like he's been punched in the stomach everytime Brad calls me Sera. He knows the pain Brad is in for and knows there's nothing he can do to stop it.

"Brad, I don't have her number. She's gone. The last time I will ever see her or talk to her is when you were over here."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I have no way of contacting her. No email, no phone, no name. Nothing. She's gone"

"But her name is Sera?"

Chris sighs and stands, trying to control his frustration. "No, her name isn't Sera. It's not X, or Lennox, or anything else she tells anyone. She's completely closed herself off from everyone, Brad. And there's no way for you to find her. She's a ghost. She's -gone-."

It finally starts sinking in for Brad as he tries to come to grips with everything that has happened.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In a family car a redheaded digimon trainer (or whatever) guy complains about his oldest brother behaving badly but nobody listens to him.

---------

The leader is taken away and replaced by another kid who tries to get them to agree about something and when they don't he replaces them with some funny looking gleaming metal spring dummies and they get the leader back.

---------

In the family car the redheaded guy is now more mature and it's now the time for the youngest brother to complain about the oldest one, but no one listens to him.

I am in a huge room. The floor is white and black, like a huge chessboard. Near the door there is a grand piano. I think there was someone playing it. I become lucid. One corner of the room looks like our sitting room. I go there. The dream feels a little blurred so I rub my hands together. That helps a bit. I had decided to do the totms when I went to bed. There are some people in the sitting room section of the hall. In front of me theres an ugly man sleeping in our chair. Well, he's ugly, but he is closest to me and just DC, so why not? I kiss him quickly on the cheek. Next I start to try making a wormhole for the advanced task, but I wake up before I can complete it.

I'm in our social studies classroom. It is bigger than usual. Also the desk is bigger than normally. I leave the classroom. Theres a transparent pipe in front of me. It takes me to the school building's roof. After standing there for a while I go back to the classroom. Our teacher is talking about some war. He makes us draw maps and mark which areas belonged to each factions. Soon I leave the classroom. I'm now in a cave. I walk for some time and leave the cave. In front of me there is a vast, flat, grey plain under a black sky. An enemy is attacking from there. The army opposing the attacker is also present. There is a small village of gnomes ahead. The next thing I remember is a tattooed gnome girl kissing me passionately. We enter an extremely small house, but it's already occupied. I ask the resident if he lives there. When he says yes I ask him to show us a house where we could live. He shows us a small caravan.
The dream skips about 80 years. Everyone else has now left the village. We have a small son, but he is ill. The two armies are still battling. I go back to the cave mouth. Some warriors are battling. A girl I know detaches from the battlers and comes to me. Her hair is black (its really blond) and she looks overall like a war chief. We spoke, but I cannot remember what.

DELETED

I hate dreaming about spiders. They're the worst DX

So I was at my mom's house with her and my sister Amy. Every once in a while a big spider would scuttle across the floor and they were popping up more and more frequently. Then a big, lanky, hairless, sky-blue spider with a white hourglass-shaped mark on its back (like a black widow's mark) bit my sister. I had to drive her to the hospital and the car I was in had no roof. It didn't feel like a car; it felt more like a horse and buggy but without the horse.
As I was driving I kept running into all these obstacles and I kept hitting other cars and driving off. Once I was ran into the curb by another car so a bunch of race cars could go by! I was getting really frustrated. My sister's bite was cold to the touch, which was a good thing because it meant the venom wasn't spreading quickly. When we finally got to the hospital, the bite was growing warm, which was bad. I woke up before we went inside.

Man, I'm itching for another lucid dream! DX
I can only attempt to WILD twice a week and I've never succeeded yet. I need a method to try in the meantime...-_-

this dream occurred 2 nights in a row a few weeks ago...the first night it was clear enough for me to make out...the second it was more lucid...i would appreciate if anyone has insight on what it could mean...it includes my ex boyfriend who i love very much...we were suppose to get back together in dec 2010..the last things he said to me were i love you and yes i want you here with me...we havent talked since..he wont talk to me and tell me what is goin on....i moved away from him in oct 2010...i woke up shaking and in tears from this dream...


i was here at the house with my kids..just an average day...got a knock at the door..it was my ex boyfriend..i was surprised since we hadnt talked in a while..we talked and it turned into an argument...(unclear of conversation)...i asked him to leave and he did...i went about my business and a couple hours passed..got another knock...i was worried it was him again...to my surprise it was 2 state troopers...i invited them in...they said they got my address from some papers in his car..my ex boyfriend had been in a car accident and was the hospital in icu...i called his mom and let her know and she said the reason he had come up here to me was to come get me and take me back with him...i rushed to the hospital...my husband had to investigate the crash site...he told me there were several things in the car that were mine...letters and a snoopy plush toy (i had given it to my ex the day i left)...his mom finally arrived and wanted to get him back to phoenix...the drs' said not until he is stable...she couldnt stay long cos of work..no one else from his family could come up...i stayed by his side night and day...

Non-lucid - Lucid

I was in this small office building, and there were people working at desks but their faces were blurred. "Hey I'm dreaming!" I yelled. Already I could feel the dream starting to fade. "I want more clarity NOW!" I started walking around and rubbing my hands and suddenly I appeared in front of a sandwich shop. I was surrounded by a ton of people, they were all staring at me strangely. "I wish for everyone to turn into hot guys!" They did. But some of them were a little too old for me so said, "I wish for everyone to turn into YOUNG hot guys!" And they did. Perfect, I thought.
I walked into the sandwich shop and saw the same guy that was in my dream the other night. But of course I didn't realize that until after I woke up. I walked over to him. "Hey." I said in a flirty voice. He had short brown hair, and was wearing a black jacket with a white t-shirt underneath, and dark jeans.
I grabbed him and leaned in to kiss him, but he pulled away and mumbled something I couldn't understand. I pulled him down again and this time he didn't pull away. The kiss felt weird, I could feel my lips go numb, and I realized the dream was fading. I pulled away, and was about to ask him his name, when the dream ended.

12/02/11

So i'm back in work.
There is a kareoke theme going on. John o' calls me over and tells me i've gotta sing. And there is a shortlist of a few songs. All christmas songs (because in my waking life, every christmas at work, in the pdr, we have kareoke ).
Anyway, Morrissey was one of the songs (moz never to my mind did a xmas song, but in my dream he had) and i knew i'd already picked moz on a previuos occasion. So i went for another one. But i seem to skip over my song.
THEN Michael Keaton, wearing 'batman' like ears is suddenly there, doing Morrissey.??????
Right after that, an old mate od mine- Nixi, turns up and tells us of his problems he has with working for his dad and his personal relationship with him. So i comfort him.
Then i'm in the delivery area, dressed as the honeymonster from the sugarpuff adverts, but rocking like angus to some ac/dc (complete with schoolboy cap!- knobhead!) and a sweeping brush in my hands, like it's a guitar. Whilst this is going on Luke is cleaning out the hygene store so there is dustpan n brushes everywhere.
I stop arsing about and ponder upon a hypothetical scenario of Carolyn being in the office at the time, and see me messing around and bollocking me! And how stupid i was for not checking her absense. And then remember an occassion where Simon got bollocked for something. And him, holding his hands up and saying "i havent't got an excuse, i'm sorry" with a smile on his face (which happened in real life).
Then i think of a scenario of a camera catching me picking my nose (which, if your chef, is NOT a good thing really, is it!? ).

Then i have a false awakening. I get up to write in my dj (paper one). And i'm not entirely sure if i was at home or not. Lewis from work is there who keeps talking to me as i'm trying to write, which does my head right in! Paul is in the background (work) i politely tell him to do one. And i continue with dj. Ann-Marie is there, wanting me to play a miniture version of draughts, to which my attention turns, then i start playing against coffee shop Sue, both thinking we have the best tactics.

what a load of drivle. still, in none lucid dreams, you dream what you dream really, don't you?

Another lucid! Still having trouble making it last, but I am making progress.

I was walking through some house with my dad. We were getting ready to leave, so I was getting my purse and coat together. I noticed that a light in one of the bedrooms was on, so I went to go turn it off. I flipped the switch but the light stayed on. I did it a couple more times and then I realized that I must be dreaming. I managed to keep my cool a bit more this time and didn't freak out or anything. I kept talking to my dad as if nothing was up. I ran my hands over the wallpaper to feel it's texture. My dad told me that he had to use the bathroom before we left. I took this opportunity to try spinning. I was surprised at how easy it was and how fast I could spin.
When I opened my eyes again, I was on a sunny street somewhere. I knelt down and felt the roughness of the pavement. I got up and started to walk, but again the dream started to fade away!
Within a few minutes, I was awake, and when I fell back asleep I had lost my lucidity.

I think I am getting better though!
