      Major Dream Sign Discovered!

      Something I really have to look out for in my dreams from now on is getting my phone wet. I know it's not in any dreams here, but the past few years it's cropped up excessively. I'll be swimming, or fall into a lake or something, then find to my horror that my mobile phone was in my pocket the whole time. When I check it, it works fine! This has actually happened about 12 times in dreams and never in real life. I guess it must be something I'm subconsciously paranoid about... So far, every time this has happened, I've merely gone, "Phew, thank god!", set my phone somewhere safe, then gone swimming again!
      I'll have to look out for this in future.

      Violent Storm (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Me and a few friends were staying in a caravan I used to own, except it was on top of a hotel. From the living room window, all you could see was the sea, with the beach below. It was early evening, maybe six o'clock, but the people in the carvan next to us kept telling us to keep the noise down. This went on for a while, until a huge storm brewed. The wind was so loud you could barely hear anything over it, and the rain was being blown completely horizontally. There were 20 metre high waves crashing outside. I commented to whoever was sitting beside me, "Look how strong the wind is, it's making the waves break sideways. I'm glad we're inside!" The waves were indeed breaking long-ways across the beach, and spray was getting blown away by the wind. I looked out the back window and was surprised to see a man in a hat and trenchcoat walking his dog along the street. The wind barely seemed to be affecting him.

      Bin Lid Frisbee (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was across the street from my old house playing some sort of game. I had to throw the lid of an american-style garbage can into a large bucket on the front lawn of my house. The game was very long and intricate, but I can only remember this small section. I threw the bin lid in the way you would a frisbee, but when I saw that it was going to miss by miles, I pointed my finger at it (while it was in flight) and redirected it in such a way that it started to orbit the bucket. The orbit was huge and irregular. It went down to the bottom of my street and back up again, and sometimes went to the other end. I don't remember what happened next, but after some time it actually landed right inside the bucket. I told an onlooker that it had been orbiting for nearly half an hour. I was very pleased with myself.

      Diving for Treasure (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      The dream started with two guys sitting in a castle trying to roll a joint. They were trying to smoke a dead mouse. The dead mouse was stolen from the ingredients cupboard of an evil wizard who lived in the castle. He often kept people as slaves, and these two were his current ones. The men were then summoned (by a booming voice) to the wizard's room. The castle was dilapidated in general, but the wizard's room was the worst. It had no celing, and most of the walls were broken down around it. There was snow on the floor and a blue aura of coldness. The wizard was enraged when he saw the mouse-joint, and blasted the slave holding it out of the room. The other ran after him. The booming voice then said that all slaves were to head down to the lake to search for treasure for the wizard.

      This is the first part where I became involved in the dream. It was a difficult walk to the lake. Me and about 7 other people had to cross over the top of a high, rocky ridge. When we got to the top we could see the lake. I said something to the effect of, "Jesus fuck, we won't find anything in a lake that size!"





      Everyone seemed to automatically know that whatever we were looking for would be on the very bottom. The lake was really deep, and we didn't have any diving gear. I decided to run and dive into the water to get a head start. I took a run up and jumped off a small cliff, superman style. As soon as I left the edge, I saw that the drop was a lot greater than I thought. In fact, I had misjudged my dive so much that I was going to land in the shallow area by the shore, where the water was only inches deep.
      What shocked me into lucidity here was that when I landed, I wasn't dead or in any pain. I jumped up in the air and took off gliding over the surface of the water. I had a bit of trouble with this, because it seemed I could only glide like a paper aeroplane, rather than control my altitude. I ended up back in the water, and immediately went down to the very bottom. It was murky, muddy and dark at that depth, and I could just about make out some other people in the distance searching for something. I felt sorry for them because they were having to come up for air, whereas I could breathe. When I resurfaced, the rest of the people in the lake were being forced to swim and find whatever the wizard wanted by a fat woman with a kind of cattle prod. She looked like pure evil, and would shock anyone who came into the shallows for a rest. She was cackling maniacally as she did this. I vowed to get her. I submerged again (I could move faster underwater) and kicked off the ground in such a way that I would come up right beneath her. I was exactly right, and resurfaced at her back. I grabbed her hair with one hand, and shoulder with the other. With my right foot, I kicked her in the spine, breaking her in half.

      After this encounter, I tried to teach the other DC's how to breathe underwater. I said, "I'm able to do this because I know I'm actually sleeping safely at home and can't drown!"
      Turned out this made me lose lucidity because while I was demonstrating, my subconcious convinced me that I was sleepwalking in the dream, and I was only able to breathe underwater because I was asleep and didn't need as much oxygen.

      Attack of the Giant Hand (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was the character of Chev Chelios from the "Crank" movies. I was in a car chase- I was doing the chasing. Some woman was talking to me in an earpiece I was wearing, telling me where to go. I reached a huge spaghetti juntion, and the car I was chasing sped off up a ramp, which had a barrier put in front of it immediately, preventing me from going that way. The voice in my ear told me to keep following the road I was on; it would lead me to the same junction as the other car was approaching from a different direction.





      As I got closer to this junction, I
      began to question my driving skills. In real life, I can't drive, and I quickly lost confidence in my ability. It was the fact that I was driving which slowly brought me to lucidity. (Becoming lucid in this case was not as immediate as the colour change implies!)

      I discovered that I could have fun driving, and totally forgot about the people I was chasing. I weaved between lanes, pissing off other drivers, and had several near-misses. Before long, it was getting dark and I was driving in countryside. There was a narrow bridge going over a river that my car could just about fit over (turns out it was a 4x4), and I put the boot down to fly over it. As, I landed, I saw a white van pulling out of a field to my right, and I had to swerve dangerously to miss it. I ended up flipping the car into a field on the left. It landed upright however, and undamaged. By some miracle it stopped just before hitting a caravan which was parked beside me. I was a bit shaken, and decided to take a rest in the back seat. It was now night time.

      I happened to glance out the left window, and saw a horrifying sight. It was a giant, disembodied hand, crawling over the top of the caravan. It was like a giant (non-green) version of the hand from the Addams Family. It was scuttling about like a huge spider, then it made right for me. I was shit scared, and although I knew I could make it disappear if I wanted, it seemed like less effort to force myself awake.
      For half a second, I could see the spider-hand on the car window "overlaid" on my duvet. Kinda weird.

      X-Factor (DEILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      After waking up from my previous dream, I gave it another go. This time it was incredibly easy to go straight back in. I remembered a technique I had used in a previous WILD attempt, where I imagined my dream body rhythmically pressing buttons. I did this again, and a dream formed up around me in a few seconds.

      I felt a real sense of "entering the matrix", where I was lost for a fraction of a second, then zoom I was in. I had arrived in my friend's house after a night out. We went into the front porch and were greeted by my friend's mum. I said, "Hey, how's it going?" to her, and she replied, "Not bad, John, not bad." With that she turned around and walked into the living room, where my friend's family were watching the X-Factor. God I hate the X-Factor... Like before, I wanted to do something outrageous, but I was scared to, in case this was real life. I don't know my friend's family well at all, and I think it might have been my nervousness that stopped me trying to bust through a wall or something. I thought, "If this is real life, I will look like a proper dick if I try anything!" I leant over the settee to look at the TV, and experienced a false awakening.

      EDIT: The previous paragraph was curiously precognitive. That exact situation happened in real life a couple of days later. I had never been at that friend's house after a night out before, so it was quite a coincidence! No doubt my mind was just simulating a possible scenario which, if I thought about it at the time, was quite likely to come true.

      This was my first proper false awakening where I was in my own house and I actually got up out of bed to test if I was awake. I'm not sure if I should do this section in dream colour or lucid colour, it was something in-between. I threw my bedclothes off me and got up. Looking down at my hands, I was surprised to find there were actually the correct number of fingers on each! This really confused me, as I was pretty sure I was still asleep (or maybe sleepwalking!). Everything was blurry and the room started spinning slowly. I became very dizzy and stumbled around the room bumping into walls and my TV- but staying on my feet. -This is how I know for sure it was a false awakening; if I was stubling around my room I would most certainly have hit the deck because half my floorspace is covered in piles of clothes and unpacked suitcases! These were absent at the time, but there when I woke up for real. I think I fell back into a normal dream.

    7. First entry WOO

      by , 06-27-2010 at 10:30 AM (Soup, delicious soup. Also my dream journal...)
      This was my first intentional lucid dream:

      I have no idea how this started off!lol. I was walking up a flight of stairs, the walls were purple with very thin, vertical, yellow stripes. This seemed very strange to me Out of habit I grabbed my nose and tried to breath. "Success," I thought to myself. I almost got too excited and lost it, but kept my cool. I looked at my hands and said firmly, "Stabalize lucidity now!" I was skeptical, but it worked. Everything was much sharper. I stepped down the stairs,into a very small livingroom/dining room.(it had a big table and a couch)I stepped outside, into my own front yard. I gathered myself mentally, focused and took to the skys! I was on a mission to find a specific person, to do things I won't mention.I searched, with no avail, then doubled back to the house I started in. I sat in the yard(it was about twilight) admiring the detailed sky. A few cars drove by and I flagged down one of the drivers. I told, NOT ASKED, him to give me a ride to Pizza Pipeline. On the way there, in the back seat, I discovered I could make small torches of fire with my hands.There was no one in the passenger seat, I have no idea why I sat in the back.During the car ride I apeared to be in a NewYork-ish city. As I got out of the car I noticed it was now about mid-day. I walked inside, and without ordering, began eating my delicious dream pizza. I closed my eyes in delight as I ate this miraculous concoction of my mind and when I opened them up, I was in my bed. I checked to see if it was false awakening (it wasn't), then went to bed.

      My first LD and my first DJ! Hope you guys like it!

    8. The Toys are Alive!!

      by , 06-27-2010 at 09:02 AM
      Noelle and Owen are visiting so I suggest a game of "Dungeons and Dragons" but it isn't really D&D.. I set up TONS AND TONS of figures from Warhammer, D&D and Heroscape all across our room. Everyone then gathers in my 'cave' (We call it that because of the way the bunkbeds are set up) And then suddenly everything comes alive. We shoot at everything with our guns furiously..

      Next thing I know I am running toward this giant wooden thing in a 'sit n' spin' shape. It is a "hover" thing and I go forward with my legs and then I push myself up in the air and float down, I do this for a while it is fun. The thing that makes it hover is constructed from erasers or something..
    9. The Space Mission

      by , 06-27-2010 at 08:56 AM
      I was sent into space for 2 weeks.

      Fragment 1: I am in some sort of giant room with HUGE portraits of a Klingon couple of varying ages. I overheard some klingons talking about how they would need to travel back in time 25 times in order to get to the correct timeline, They were trying to stop an accident involving stairs with the klingon couple..

      Fragment 2: I found myself in some sort of elevator with Cameron, only it didn't really take you anywhere. It just went up..

      Hudson is standing outside the closing doors, trying to decide if he wants to get in. Cameron and I pry open a panel with a screwdriver and I smash a button.

      This sends us flying up to the space station ceiling, we can see up and we are about to hit a huge window. When we finally hit it all it does is 'BONK' and then we gently float back down...

      Fragment 3: I go inside the spaceships 'WAL-MART' first thing I know I am in the fabric section. I have the intention of finding a specific type of woman and engaging in coitus before I return to earth.

      Next thing I know I am leaving and Evan is singing.. I meet up with Adam just outside of the wal mart like place and there is a sign on some sort of pinball machine that says "Free or Take" or something like that. Adam needed something from it so he smashed the glass with a regular hammer. I asked how far the car was with the intention of going to get a rubber mallet. He replied with a firm NO.

      It turns out I already had the mallet in my hand so I smashed what little glass was left and then continued.
    10. Mah cheezburger!!

      by , 06-27-2010 at 08:45 AM
      I was in our home but in my dream, my Aunt Becky owned our house.

      A.J. , Hudson, Cameron and I were in the living room, we were going to eat some cheese burgers. Mom sent us outside so that we would not spill or stain anything.

      So there we are at night, eating cheeseburgers on the porch. I had one of our pink plastic plates and I left some mustard and ketchup in the middle of the plate.

      Next thing I know everyone is gone and some woman pulls up the driveway, both her sliding doors are open I go down to see, she gets out and comes around to get her baby out.

      Inside the car, the two passenger seats are normal, one has a car seat in it. The back seats are put down. The baby is not in the car seat.

      Bull Fight (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      This Dream was in first person perspective.

      I was a passenger of a truck, going to what i think was a bull fighting show. The environment was grassy, we were on concrete roads, it was sunny and the sun was setting. When we got to the bull fighting area, we were staying in the truck, waiting for the fight to begin. The bull fighting area was a large blue tent, with brown doors leading into it. But before the fight begun the bull got loose, so we had to get out of the truck and run for it. I remember running down the pathway, feeling terrified and running as fast as i could. Untill i saw people trapped by the bull, so i ran back and climbed up the corner of the tent. The people were trapped infront of the doors while the bull was blocking there way. I actually can't remember how i did it, but i managed to the save the people and stop the bull. I was hanging on the bottom of a rope, while the people i saved were higher up on the rope. I also saw myself on a big TV screen, while the news was talking about the rescue.

    12. bonnets, 2-3 men and a horse

      by , 06-27-2010 at 05:27 AM
      I was someplace outside a house that I am either unsure if it was some kind of old-fashion togehter or just a costume party. In the dream there was one girl I don't remember what the she look like but she looked like pilgram "goodywife".

      When she got to the steps of the house (the house was a pretty big house-a masion practialcly-sp?) and the girls' bonnet somehow chocked the girl to death. I could even hear her screaming. I somehow ended up inside the house. I was off to the side being a "wallflower"-I know, I know Pligrams didn't appriceate *sp?) dancing.

      You hear screaming again at the front and I was suddenly back outside and another girl was being chocked to death by her bonnet. Than I went back inside and you hear horse hoofbeats.

      A man who basically looked like the first Doctor Who (I mean in the oringal series-not the David Tennat and Mat Smith in the new series-and what he would have looked like in colour) was on the horse. He kind of took me as his "compian" for a couple of years in the dream (or that what it seemed to be to me). Than I ended up someplace with no clue how I got there. A guy (who I assume was some kind of bad guy was moving through a crowd of people at somekind of old fashion "sport"). Forget about whatever happens after that.

      But the next thing I knew I was falling through a celling (no I haven't seen 2010 Alice). and the person who "caught" me (in a way) looked like the current Doctor. He checked to see if I was hurt and for some reason called the other man "Grandfather" (the one who looked like the first Doctor).

      dreamed I was in high school (I'm in college at the moment) the cafertia was having some kind of celeberation and I went to the Ladies' room and when I stepped into the room I wasn't in the 21st century anymore but in the wild,wild west. All my highschool best friends +my parents were wearing cowboy/girl outfits. Someone was the sheriff (don't remember who) and they were sick of it , so they gave the job to me. the first thing I did was to get rid of all the rules. After that one of my sis dog's (who in the dream can talk) said that the______ Kid is coming. I tried to find out about this_____ Kid and didn 't discover anything. I went back outside and tried to get help but everyone said the no rules rule got a lot of people into trouble. I than faced the _____Kid and it was an evil version of me. I and the ____kid had a shown down but the ___'kid's gun ran out of ammo. SO _____ kid ran off. I than decided to instated most of the rules back.

    14. 06/24/10 Nex Vomica - Death Plague Interrupted

      by , 06-27-2010 at 04:21 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      "There's no time!" the man insisted, "The Ascendentae will answer all your questions, but you have to come with me! It is no longer safe here!" The man opened a portal and I followed him through…

      On the other side of the portal I was in what looked like a temple. I felt the dream was slipping. I was about to wake up, but I wasn't done there… so I didn't want the dream to end yet. I repeated what I had done last night, using Allura's method to dilate time. I focused on the 12 hour clock, then morphed it into a 24 hour clock… then to a 48 hour clock… and I felt the dream stabilize. I looked around again. The man who had come to help me with the goons was standing there looking at me strangely.

      "Come," he said to me, "The Ascendantae awaits." He turned and walked away.

      I followed the man as he walked through the halls. He knocked on a large door at the end of the hall. Someone on the other side said we should enter. The man I was with opened the door and we both went into the room. There was a man sitting on the other side of a desk looking at us as we entered. The man referred to the man who had brought me as Salus, and said he could go now. Salus turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.

      I'd had a million questions I'd been wanting to ask, but now I didn't seem to be able to manage any of them. The man behind the desk, the Ascendantae, stood up and came around the desk. He looked at me closely as if evaluating me or something… I didn't like that much. Something about him reminded me of Sean Connery…

      I wanted to ask what he was looking at, but he started speaking before I got a chance to. He said Salus had already told him about finding me. He said Salus had also told him about the everto finding me. He said that was not a good sign. He said that if the everto had started looking for their… then he trailed off. He paused and then said he was sure I wanted some answers. He said all the answers I wanted awaited me at the end of the negotium.

      "At the end of the what?" I asked, having no idea what this negotium could be. He said it was a simple task. All I would have to do was go to the end of a passage and retrieve a book. A special book that, if I was who they believed me to be, would be able to retrieve. And I was the only one who could retrieve it. That all sounded really strange to me… The man pulled a hidden lever on the desk. A section of the floor slid aside and there was a stairway down into darkness below. The Ascendantae said that the answers awaited at the end of that passage. I looked down the passage into the darkness. I wondered what might await down there… I wasn't sure what I was going to do… but I figured I would not know what was going on if I didn't go down there.

      I was about to go down the stairs when the door to the office was flung open. There were a bunch of people in the door… Templars! Wtf? My full lucidity came rushing back to me as I let myself get out of character… There weren't supposed to be Templars attacking here… the Ascendantae was also perplexed. Of course he was a DC I had made for the game… But he was programmed to respond. He went over towards the Templars. He demanded to know the meaning of this intrusion. I told him those were the everto, so he might want to go down the passage himself to escape. He didn't leave, instead he pulled out a rather fancy looking glowing sword and attacked the Templars. One of the Templars hit him with a blast of energy, and since he was a DC that wasn't even intended to fight, the Ascendentae disappeared. I was prepared to fight the Templars now. I was more focused on them, so the dream set I had created fell apart around me. It turned out I was now on the moon.

      One of the Templars came towards me and seemed pleased to see me… wtf? He came over and shook my hand with one of his hands and said it was good to have me on their side. What? I asked him if he was on crack… He looked at me strangely and then laughed. He tried to lead me back to the others as a friend would do. I pushed his hand off of me. I asked what he wanted, intruding on my dream… He said it was time that we got down to business. I said I didn't have any business with him… He said if I could just convince MoSh to join us… I repeated that there is no 'us' going on here… He looked at me strangely. He said the joke had gotten old. I said I wasn't joking about anything. These guys really thought I would be working with them!

      I asked him what would make him think I had joined their side. He said I had clearly accepted the dark energy… I told him that doesn't mean anything… unless the goals of controlling people by force that and the rest of the Templars were aiming for had drastically changed there was no way I would ever be helping them with it. He looked at me strangely. He didn't seem to be getting the point. I told him to go away and let me finish my dream in peace. The one who had been talking to me looked over at the other Templars. He didn't seem to know what to say now. I told him we had found a good balance… they don't interfere with my dreams, and I don't kick their asses on sight. So unless there was something else that didn't involve me joining them, please go away and let me finish my dream. The Templar closest to me grabbed my arm and said I would be going with him. I said no, I would not, so he would have one more chance to just leave in peace… Instead he tried to pull me with him. I shook him off and opened a vortex portal that dumped all of them someplace around Pluto…

      I went to focus on restoring my dream world and continuing my video game development dream. Before I even had a chance to get the dream realm reformed, however, there was another visitor. This one attacked me on sight, throwing spears of light down at me. There were explosions all around me as I jumped out of the way of the attack, getting quite annoyed at my dream being interrupted yet again. I looked to get a closer look at the attacker, and I saw he looked like an angel of some kind… he didn't even pause in his attack, though, throwing another wave of glowing spears in my direction. I used Whiplash and sent the energy spears right back at him. He avoided the attack and landed on the ground not far from me. I asked him what he thought he was doing. He said he does not talk to demons. He continued attacking me. A whirlwind of golden light erupted around me, mixed with fire. This guy was really annoying… This attack was easily countered with a small wave of dark energy that neutralized the attack. The angel was already throwing more light spears at me, I jumped out of the way and hit him with a bolt of lightning by using Battery. Electricity didn't seem to hurt him… I tried a bolt of lightning made of dark energy… that did hurt him. It knocked him backwards. I told him he should get a better definition of what a demon is before attacking random people, then used a vortex portal to send him where I had sent the Templars. Maybe all of them would have some fun together.

      Ok… now finally to get back to my video game dream… But the dream was slipping again. I focused on doing another time dilation. The clock with the 12 hours, changing into the clock with 24 hours, changing into the clock with 48 hours… but it didn't seem to be helping this time. The dream slipped away and I woke.
    15. Dream I just remembered.

      forgot a dream

      crazy dream

      I was outside my old fourplex in didsbury, when it began to rain. But it was raining pink stuff. It was plastic pink stuff... I think I remembered Asuka saying something about it. anyway i ran to the other side of the fourplex facing the street. The stuff didn't hurt. I ran into a neghbor who was speculating where the pink plastic rain had come from. He said "the way it has fallen here is in the shape of a man. obviously a man in has been throwing these things everywhere."

      i looked around... I saw no man throwing this stuff. I said "this stuff is falling from the sky... a man throwing it around wouldn't have this effect... This is probably plastic garbage from a UFO and they decided to just dump it on us"
