Synopsis: I'm told to find my friend who is lost in the dream world and help her. I feel like I enter my friends dream, and we have a crazy adventure! Water monsters and riding a manta ray! Lucid. Shared-dreaming theme.

Night Time Note: I had read a mantra before sleeping, but I forgot what the mantra was!

A Friend is Lost in the Dream
I'm in a large house with lots of old faces from my old job. I don't remember who told me this, or when, but I just remember being told:

Our friend is lost in the dream world. We have to go find her. Sam and Laura have already left into the dream to go looking for her.

I don't know who the friend is that's trapped in the dreamworld. And I couldn't remember who Laura was, I had trouble recalling the right face to the right name. But anyways.

Me and my old co-worker Megan get ready to enter the dreamworld. I decide to leave first. I make my way to the back porch. The porch is actually a staircase, that mysteriously stops in mid air. Below us is the dreamworld. My mother is sitting on the steps, I thought of her as a gatekeeper. A cat nearby seems to be a guardian.

Before leaping off the staircase, my mother tells me "The first person you'll find is Sam." I'm about to leap when my mom interrupts me again "Oh wait! Do you have Sam's number on your cell phone?" I go back inside and look for my cell phone, and I can't remember Sam's number for the life of me. Oh well.

I jump and become lucid! The scenery is beautiful and very bright and vivid. It's a forest. I fly quickly over the forest, remembering in my head my task. 'Find Sam, find Lori or Laura, then find the friend I'm supposed to help!'

I start to yell "Sam! Sam! Where are you!"

I fly into a small town. And right away I find Sam! She was in an old fashioned horse drawn carriage, being carried like a princess, of all places, through a boring apartment complex. Sam seems happy to see me and I quickly make room for myself in the carriage. Sam tells me she's already been dreaming for at least 45 minutes, and now she's going to wake up soon. She didn't find the friend we are supposed to help.

Excited I say "Sam! We're dreaming! Remember me when you wake up!"

She tells me I should be able to find this Lori/Laura. She gives me a big hug, and disappears. I assume she woke up.

I run through the neighborhood, avoiding random DCs by taking the back alleys. Eventually I come to a tall house that looks like something out of a fairy tale. Inside I finally find Lori/Laura. And the name and the face were completely wrong. This character was unstable, fuzzy, as the name and the face made no sense to me. I follow her outside.

But once outside she was completely different person. She was a 'name' and a 'face' I knew and recognized - Maggie. No one ever told me I would meet Maggie.

She asks me "Have you been looking for me?"

It doesn't even occur to me that this is the friend that I'm supposed to find and help! Still thinking I still have to find someone else, I tell Maggie "We should go!"

"You're right, come on!"

Maggie's World
(I remain with a light lucidity)
It didn't feel like it was my dream anymore. From the get go Maggie had me running! Someone is after her, who I don't know! It's a dream theme I know so well - I have a chase-dream tag.

"Come on! Hurry!"

Usually in my dreams I am on the run and my friends follow me. This time, my friend is on the run and I am simply following her blindly.

Maggie was a fast runner, one of the fastest "dream characters" I've met. I had trouble keeping up with her, flying was too slow, my legs were too slow. But Maggie would often look behind to make sure I was still there.

After running through several neighborhoods we find two bicycles. Oh perfect! Now we can really make some distance between us and these bad guys. But the bikes were rusty and crappy and we ditch them soon after.

I try to transform to make keeping up with Maggie easier, but it didn't help. Every now and then Maggie would run strange, like she has an injured leg. Then she would run normal, like there was no injury. We climbed fences, and made our way through a complex construction site with wires and pipes and giant boxes.

We snuck our way into a facility of some sort. All the while, Maggie is still leading the way. I'm not sure what this place is. But this seemed like a bad idea. So many walls, and corners, and doors. It's like a maze.

We hear something. . . is that. . . water? A giant wave of water was rushing towards us. If the wall of water wasn't bad enough, it was full of giant worm monsters that were made of water. The giant water monsters attack us! Damn! We need to get high, above this wave.

Just then, we see a giant manta ray flying gracefully, gulping the water with his giant mouth. Maggie has a most devious expression, lol, I just laugh at her crazy thought. We wait for the right moment and then we leap on top of the giant manta ray! Riding safely above the monstrous wave.

Woah! Riding the giant manta ray was wild! He was like a roller-coaster. A gliding roller-coaster! Both me and Maggie scream excitedly like little girls. At first I was crouched down, holding on tight. But when it became real fun, I stood up.

The manta ray swallows all the water and comes to a slow stop. We jump. We really need to get out of this crazy place.

"Come on! This way!"

Maggie leads the way again. We run through a supermarket that quickly transforms into a futuristic laboratory. Oh damn, the water is coming back. Maggie suddenly stops running, she has a pensive expression as if she's trying to think of something. No time to think!! I run right past her and down the hallway.

Bad move.

It was a dead end. Did Maggie know it was a dead end?

I turn around and the water monster has me cornered. The manta ray was drifting slowly towards the water, but he was flying real low. Where as the wall of water was towering high! Crap! The water monster comes crashing towards me! Scared, I hide in a closet that magically appeared for me.

Silence.

The closet was white. Just white. It would have been a void if it wasn't for the visible slits of the door. For a moment I wait for the water to seep in and flood the closet. But nothing happens!

I sigh deeply. Damn, I just ruined the dream didn't I? A lot of times if I leave the sight of a dream character, that dream character will disappear. I was afraid that this awesome "dream character" Maggie would disappear now. I sat there, waiting, any moment, I'll just wake up.

Then. . I hear footsteps splashing through a puddle of water. It's Maggie's footsteps. She runs up and down the corridor. Is she looking for me? I pop out of the closet. And there was Maggie waiting for me!

"Come on!" She leads the way again. Her legs are even faster now. I had to find ways to make my running path shorter than hers to keep up. We enter a warehouse. Maggie looks up at the crates floating above us. Good idea, if we can get up there we can safely get above the wave.

I press a button hoping to bring the crate down, instead the machine drops the crate and the entire thing smashes on the floor. "Oops..sorry!"

Maggie tries to find another way up there. Why don't we just fly? I try to transform again, and I try to fly up there, but I can't. I can barely make five feet off the ground. I hear footsteps. A large group of men surround us, their leader was an arab man in a suit. He had Sayids voice from the show Lost. Are these the bad guys Maggie has been running from?

Maggie tries to ignore their threats as she desperately cuts away at the rope with pocket knife. I'm not even sure what's that going to accomplish except - nothing! For the first time I seriously doubt Maggie's plan, what ever it is, will work.

I blast a fire ball at the leader! He's not impressed. "What are you doing in my warehouse? And why are you ruining it?"

So. . he's not after Maggie?

"Wait!" I said "We just want to leave this place. Can you please show us the exit and we'll leave you're warehouse alone?"

Maggie continues to cut away at the rope.

"Then, I will show you the way out." He presses a button and a door opens. Maggie reacts like a cat and bolts out the door. I just take my sweet time leaving. Once were outside, Maggie finally relaxes.

"I thought for sure he was lying about letting us out." She says

The man shakes his head and explains "I keep my promises." He turned out to be a really nice man. The next scene was vivid, but for some strange reason I have trouble recalling it. I think the man offers us two bicycles, but they were all rusty. Maggie complains that texas bikes don't rust. The man, a true sales man says "Ah, but do your bikes have big wheels like mine?"

I feel it's almost time, to wake up I mean.

I look about me. The scenery is gorgeous. Mountainous, green, ripe. Maggie talks to the man and laughs at herself for running away all this time. A lemon tree was growing next to us and I grab a fruit, quite lucid. It smelled so richly of lemon!

"I can't do it! I just can't do it! I know it's a dream but even then I still can't bite into this lemon!" My mouth waters at just the thought. Maggie laughs at me.

Quite happy that I left Maggie in a more peaceful and vivid dream, I say goodbye and wake up.



Sweeet

Fragments of weird, weird stuff.

I remember looking through a web/videocam of a woman shaving, a fat ugly woman, couldnt see her face though.
Skip ahead a minute, I'm looking at Emily from Pretty Little Liars shaving. What the hell?

Then suddenly, I'm in a gymnastics place. Its huge, im in heaven. I'm pulling moves on rings, tumbling like crazy, etc.
The weird part is, whenever ive tumbled before, Iw as doing it but I'd see it from a 3rd person perspective. This time, It was first person.
I pulled a roundoff double backtuck. Then a standing full. Then some stuff on rings, and dismounted with a full in-double full out (my dismount on rings right now is that).

I think I saw Ayla Kell somewhere, my brain was focused on tumbling.

Then I stunted a bit. Did a few chairlifts, put a girl high up, basket tossed, and I kinda zoned out.
After that I lost focus, and everything melted away.

I'm kicking myself because I woke up at one point remembering three dreams and fell back asleep saying I would record it when I woke up for good... After falling back asleep I could only remember the final one (first) and one of the three previous ones (second). Hopefully I will remember more as the day goes on.

Im in a large grocery store with a steep hill.... Go down on bike with my best little friend and he falls off without me noticing.... The whole hill is full of sand. We have a large diamond rock that is like a camera, worth 500(thousand?!?!?!) according to the worker at the store.6 Go to the candy aisle with my mom. Shoppers start shouting about Viagra!!!! Wake up.

Fragments of a dream where I find my brother has a DV account and is always on the forum but I dnt know why

I have stumbled upon the DEILD technique and I think it suits me very well. Though I didnt have results last night and messed up my recall because of it, I trust it will use both my extremely powerful biological clock while giving me close to nothing to do. I learned that the more a technique is demanding on my part, the smaller the results. In other words, I fuck it up every time. So a quick WILD looks like the right way to go, because DILD is too random. Even when I had my only two DILD, i feel like it was just a lucky shot and id rather induce my dreams. If I get any success with this it may also reconciliate me with the traditionnal slow WILD which has proven a complete failure so far. I also like how you get multiple attempts per night. Even though I have had no results yet, im unaware as of wether the problem is my ability to stay still when waking up or entering a dream. I guess light will shed on this mystery later on. And now, my only dream fragment of the night.

I am in Quebec in my family when I hear my Ipod ringing. I take it out of my pocket and answer. Its Shao but I dont know it. I ask who it is and he answers with something incomprehensible. I go: Ok...What do you want? He tells me to come at his place but im not even at home. I say I am in Quebec and I cant come. Whats funny is that my ipod is no phone, it cant ring!

I went to bed really late.

August14: I was at target with jordan and alex vincent I was looking at videogames it showed the gears pre-purchase and some mk stuff including a movie. I was suspicious because there were no price tags. After that I played with toy light sabers in my dream then my friends came back and we went by a white candy bowl I didn't look at.

Also in another dream phase I was riding my longboard around apparently but Stephen petro offered me a ride that's all I remember right now

august 15: N/A recall got to bed late.

august 16: N/A recall got to bed late.

august 17: only thing recalled was that I rubbed my eyes and they felt irritated and someone random ( DC ) told me my eyes were really red.

I really need to get some sleep because the past three nights have been bad for results.

Edit: This is a partial entry with one dream sequence omitted. See file 0813-0814; recall note: fast food restaurant, black coat.

Just laid down to get a little more sleep when I remembered some more details of what was either a separate dream or a long segment before the previous one (if so, I was myself at this point and not Bruce Willis).

-

And even just now I recall another separate sequence. At this point I'm not sure where in tonight's overall sequence it belongs.

I was riding a bike (with a helmet even, I remember checking--successfully within the dream--a few times to be sure I was wearing one) up 10th street, I think I was on my way to work (noting of course I don't work anywhere going that direction). I turned left onto 19th avenue and decided I move to the sidewalk and stop taking up space on the street, only before I was able to do so I fell into a small crowd (maybe 6-7) of people walking (apparently I was biking really slow?) west down 19th avenue. They were talking to each other about something I wasn't paying attention to. I decided to go along with them as they moved onto the sidewalk and started moving behind some beige-colored buildings where the strip mall would be on the 10th street/19th avenue corner. We kept going and the crowd sorta slowly grew larger; I was still on my bike (I checked for a helmet here for sure at one point). As we reached the end of the buildings heading west still, someone pointed out that there was a large wooden fence blocking further passage west as well as one to our left blocking passage south. The north-south fence was slanted slightly diagonally southwest to northeast, so we turned the corner of the building to the north and kept going. The fence and the building reached a point where the formed a small passage at the building's northwest corner.

I volunteered to go in first and check it out (at some point after turning the corner I'd gotten off my bike). Inside the passage it was very narrow, made out of wood planks like the fence outside, and the passage was uneven (ie not straight, the walls zig-zagged slightly at random intervals, mostly small but with interesting patterns, for instance there were small alcoves where people would be sitting). It seemed like it was not longer outdoors somehow, but there was a really high ceiling. It sounded crowded, like there were a lot of people outside the wooden-fence-passage area that I couldn't see, and even the passage was fairly crowded with random people just loitering of passing through in the opposite direction. It was slanted slightly downhill, so I remember thinking it felt like I was moving out of a mountain passage amusement-park-log-chute-style. My memory of this sequence ended at some point as I was navigating this passage.

PART 1 - MIK HILARITY

At work. My friend Mik goes through a checkout. As they do, they say something absolutely hilarious, in a casual way where they don't laugh at their own joke, offhand as they're passing through. I think it's like the funniest thing ever.

ANALYSIS

Mik has randomly dropped into my work places before, so it would fit with that pattern.

The main element here seems to be how nonchalant they were.

- - -

PART 2 - COLB WC3

Playing an old friend I haven't seen in years at WC3. He is Orc, I think I'm human? It's both of us against the computer.

At one point I use chain lightening and he likes the ability. I say we should start over both as a race with chain lightening so we could both do it (which is odd as IRL orc actually has it and humans don't.) He decides against this.

ANALYSIS

This felt like an expression of their "polarity responder" nature. They're the type of person who, whatever you say, will tend to take the opposite position.

- - -

PART 3 - BINGE LIMITED FUNDS

I'm back and forth between the grocery store and current home, trying to make the money I have last for 3 days of junk food.

I decide against 3 pizzas and go with 2, use the extra money for other things, for "variety."

ANALYSIS

I haven't eaten anything unhealthy in almost 4 months now. I think the idea did surface in my mind yesterday, which may have been the trigger, but was quickly negated as it's an impossibility due my ailment anyway.

I tend to take thoughts of binging as a sign that I'm not managing my emotional state well enough, not keeping occupied enough.

- - -

PART 4 - CEE

Something about talking to Cee...

ANALYSIS

Still an "open loop" in my life, undoubtedly they will continue to surface in dreams periodically until some form of resolution is achieved.

- - -

PART 5 - MISSED SC2 PARTY

I find out that there was a big SC2 party held at the local theatre, but I've missed it. For some reason this is quite devastating.

I think Jo from work may have been there.

ANALYSIS

I plan on gradually phasing out my SC2 playing time (which isn't that much to begin with) in favor of other pursuits (drawing), perhaps this is a metaphor for that, the sense of loss.

- - -

PART 6 - DANCING AND 9/9/09

In a room full of people (one is Melinda, an acquaintance from Jr High), all the chairs and tables have been cleared away to free space for dancing. I "dance" (stepping along in small circles) along with everyone, which I remember finding surprising even in the moment, as I wouldn't normally expect myself to go along with something like that.

Later, the room is filled with tables, each having a computer. I look at mine, and notice a pattern in the time and date - it's 9/9/09, 9:09:09.

I remark about this to the person next to me (Borges?), they simply say "no it's not" because by then the time has passed.

ANALYSIS

The first part could be looked at one of two ways: surprising myself by following along with others, or surprising myself by going outside my comfort zone. It definitely feels like the latter.

The main idea of the last bit seems to be, remarking about something amazing to someone, and them not appreciating it. Borges may represent superficiality, which would also be congruent with the theme.

Sex dream, super odd one. Started at some sort of corporate board meeting. Started mostly third person, apparently I was Bruce Willis. There was some sort of drawn out argument over something, other than that I don't remember anything notable.

Cut to what was evidently my house (but not anything I'd recognize from real life), now in first person, with who I apparently identified as my wife, only it was Jennifer Aniston, who had also been present to a quiet degree during the board meeting (and she had kind of a super skinny build). We were sitting on a brownish couch watching TV for a while, but then I caught a glimpse of her breasts and we started going at it, feeling each other up. During this foreplay, whatever was on the large screen TV turned into a handful of number meters representing various aspects of her arousal, so I was half making out with her, half watching the screen to adjust my technique. At some point, she said, "That was the second time I've ever been satisfied!" We stripped down and were just about to get down to business when I woke up.

I've never been particularly attracted to or a fan of Jennifer Aniston.

I am in outer space in another galaxy. I curl up into a ball, and vomit. The fabric of time and space ripples. I drink my vomit, and turn into a fucking PLANET.

I evolve, and all kinds of creatures crawl all over me... I can feel them. The sentient bipeds evolve into little green tree goblins.

I evolve them too much, and they make me sick... I teach them how to leave, and I send them to explore outer space to build colonies elsewhere. My fellow planets get pissed off at me. They tell me to stop spreading my disease.

I tell them the goblins are very nice, just over populated. One of the planets shoots a volcanic green gas at me. It floats through space, and covers me... making me sick. I can't get enough sun. I teach the goblins how to get rid of the sickness.

A lot of them die. I get a fever. My ocean water level rises. Goblins begin building underwater and underground citiies. They try to implant themselves with gills to survive. I help them evolve gills.

After millenia, they recover. I decide it's time for revenge on the other planet. I teach the goblins about my sentience, and the sentience of the other planet. They decide to go to war for me.

I tell them, I simply want them to colonize the other planet, but it must be terraformed first. They nod.

A huge portion of the population decides to leave, which creates a panic. People are afraid to stay. Global war breaks out. A few hundred years after the war, the goblins begin to recover. They rediscover the space technology. Some secretly plan to leave. The tech is leaked. Many countries gain space travel. When a group of people try to leave, others chase them, and only a few make it to the other planet.

They land, and build a tiny Biodome model, though it is alive. The other planet... it's red like Mars... Gets pissed and sends it sentient natives to attack the goblins. Huge white hairy simians emerge from craters. The goblins are fucked. They tear the goblins apart, and eat them.

Damn. I didn't know he had all those....

I don't remember how it started, but I was on a grass plane in biologigränd in umeå with my brother jimmy. It was night time. Suddenly I realised that I was dreaming somehow. It was kinda funny because at the same time I realised it, I therefore realised that Jimmy was only a DC and not real. However I asked him to give me the notepad which he was holding that was apparently my DJ. I wrote "dreaming" for fun on the last page to somehow strengthen the fact that I was dreaming and to see if it would be written in the real notepad when I woke up (I don't really have a notepad like that anymore).

Now I wanted to try something with my lucidity so I flew up in the sky fast like a rocket. It worked and I remember thinking that it was somewhat clear to be a dream (I am not sure anymore if it was, because my memory has faded some. Maybe it was just something I thought in the dream). I flew only for a short while over the roof tops before thinking "okay, what to do now then?". I couldn't really think of anything to do and then the dream kind of faded away.



I think that I wasn't really fully lucid in this dream for several reasons. Firstly, I wrote that word in the DJ that doesn't exist. That is like something you would do in a dream and if I would have the complete mindset of awake, I doubt I would have done that. Secondly, the thing that I couldn't figure out what to do when lucid. I have heaps of stuff I would like to try.

Anyway, it was awesome. XD

14-08-10 Fragmented stuff, pictures of dragon golems and 7 armies that had to be vanquished. Kept being conscious about dreaming, although in reality I never think I was dreaming in the first place, just basking around in HHs. Tried asking people around for my dream name, but there was no audio what so ever. Gotta say I was drunk to boots yesterday, which might have had an influence on the entire experience. Throughout the series of 'dreams' I felt like someone(thing) was guiding me though..

I have been away from this forum in a long time, because i suddenly thought that it was all bullshit and lies.. as most of this newage crap is (I began jugding the art as some newage crap lying and all my "lucid" dreams where illusions caused by sitting to the middle of the night reading about stupid spells and mumbojumbo.. Now im rejugding).. But due to having a lucid dream this morning, i am feeling like re-entering my training again, but not focus too much on it..

Heres the Dream:

I dreamed that i wanted to look at some picture on the internet, bu then suddenly i got a fuckload of addware and virusses out of nowhere.. I was sad, my computer slowly degraded from a highend pc to some sloppy crap.. Seriously thats the worst i can dream.. Then i figured out i was at some hotel, and then i ran around.. also i read a map of suprising detail compared to other dream cartography i have aqquired, and speaking of information generally.. Then i found some other horrific stuff but i dont know what.. Then suddenly my dream faded out, but i was still able to think "Wait if the world is fading out, then i must be dreaming!" so i stabilised the dream, just by holding my hands on the head and concentrating.. As when you try to concentrate, with a headache.
But i didnt do anything about it, i didnt try to fly, i just kept exploring untill i was so aware that i just kinda slipped out of the dream and into the waking world, with my eyes open..

Recurring dreamsigns: My computer getting virusses Running around in circles?
I dont know.. i cant find my DJ papers.. proably trashed.. Due to my disbelief..

[I]This worked very well, but I did lose awareness, and fell asleep.[/I]

Ok... so I laid in bed on my back, hands resting on my sides. I kept focusing on my breath. Bad habit... Okay, think about something else. BAM. SP!

SP usually hits me in a few seconds. GRAB THE ROPE. GAH!

My muscles twitch as I try to grab the rope. Don't think about that.

gRAB... the... ROPE... GAH

It's right there!

I feel myself doing the energy rocking thing that I do. I could feel my energy moving up and down. No, just try and grab, and keep pulling up.

I felt rocking work better, so, I do that.

I begin having auditory HH, and talk to my HH.

No... just grab the rope!

I feel my hands get all floaty... Awesome! More intense SP....

just focus on and grab the rope.

I AM ABOUT TO GO OBE! YES.

Huh? What?

I talk to my HH again. AH STOP IT!

GRAB THE ROPE. Sit up! ROLL! STAND UP! IT'S NOT WORKING NO..... DON'T FALL ASLEEP YET...

am I slipping into a dream... I d..... don't...

I don't remember anymore. I slept for 30 minutes, and I woke up to an alarm in a deep sleep. I think next time, I will set my alarm for ten minutes then, go down to five if I fall asleep.

1) Became lucid, me and my friend forbes walked around throwing cars and stuff. Still lucid my dream directed some sort of star wars dream where i fought darth vader and we ended up falling down some sort of exhaust shaft but i survived.

2)I am at my place of work and some of my friends. My friends who are there have (in reality) had life transforming events which has taken us far apart. In the dream one of my best friends, neil, has returned to work with me. My friend G didnt have her kid and is still young and beautiful. My friend Mike hasnt turned into a total bible freak. We are messing around, having a laugh. We goto Amsterdam, we are all sad that they shut down the sex musum and then we play rugby with a cake....
