The dream started some time in the past, showing a time where certain people were actually dragons. They were humanoid but had dragon-like appearances and could transform into a true dragon form at will. This section was set up like a prologue of a book, and was set near a the base and inside of a cave system. The cave itself was very rugged, and rocks jutted out at various points of the exterior going up to a flat top, that connected to a winding pathway inside that had lava on either side. Most of the dragons were gathered near the base of this cave system, preparing for a huge battle. I was one of them, and I was excited to be about to join the battle. Without them saying anything, I knew we were going to go up against an army of regular people who were ordered to slay all the dragons by their evil king. (I watch a lot of fantasy). Before I could join them, however, my mom and someone else, who was either a close friend or my dream brother, who were both normal people, told me not to go. I was disappointing, but I listened, and didn't enter the cave system with the other dragons. It turned out to be a good thing, because when I looked in the caves after time had past, there were no dragons alive anymore. They had been killed by the humans. The dream skipped later in time at that point, where the king had issued a law that anyone who protected dragons could be arrested, and for all dragons to be killed. I was one of the only surviving dragons left alive, and had been hiding my identity along with my mom and (i think) brother, who were both normal. My life had been a struggle to prevent people from knowing the truth about me, which has starting to get harder and harder, as my powers grew. The first thing that had started to develop was snake-like eyes. They could be controlled, and made to look like human eyes, but as a grew more dragon-like this was getting harder. My family had house hopped for a few months, avoiding procedural searches for dragons in each town or city. Unfortunately, one time, we were to late in moving, and a guard had come to check if we were dragons. My mom got checked just fine, and my brother was getting checked just fine, but while they were checking him, my powers started to grow, partly due to nervousness, and partly because they were bubbling under the surface wanting to be used for some time. Unlike normal dragons you see in fantasy, my kind of dragons, had powers in human form and dragon form that were unlike simple flying and fire breath. I could control the wind, had psychic powers, and more that I can't remember. (I'm going to try to use various methods to get back into this universe and find out what else I could do, it was so awesome). Without my even realizing how stupid it was, I started to test these powers, and made a burst of wind blow over a nearby patch of grass. I could feel the wind from behind me blow over to the grass and make the grass bend and quiver. The wind also made the grass pulse with varying levels of light and shadow from moving up and down. As the wind subsided the guard noticed me doing it, and grew suspicious. He said he said he would have to do a full body search, (like in airport security), and I knew if I let him he would probably realize I was a dragon. Now not sure what to do I looked at my mom, who seemed to say to try and fake it. I looked at the guard and realized, all I needed to do was stare at this man, and his mind would be mine to destroy. I didn't need to let this man search me, I could kill him in my sleep if I wanted to (pun intended). A this point the dream ended while I was deciding weather or not to kill him. When I woke up, I used A LD induction technique I read about, and modified it to fit for the purpose of entering the dream and becoming lucid in it. Not MILD actually, it was in the thread of "Silverbullet's possible key to lucid dreaming". Silverbullet showed four youtube videos that really helped. Everyone should watch them. While I did not become lucid, I did re-enter the dream. WOOT! The dream had skipped later though, and it was me, my mom, and my brother buying supplies at a town that stood before a huge pine woods with scattered mountains. We had realized that living in towns and cities would not be possible anymore, and we were heading to a remote location to perfect my skills so I could defend myself. After we had gotten the supplies we found an empty area outside the city, where I transformed into my dragon form, and they put the goods in a sort of saddle bag, got on my back, and we took of scouting for a spot to train. We found a spot in the mountains away from people and the chance of forest fires, and got to training. Sadly, I woke up at this point and never got to experience the training. But i'm hopeful that i'll visit this universe again someday. I have so many questions like: what's the name of the land, what powers do I have as a dragon, do I ever defeat the evil king, do I meet other dragons, do dragons ever walk in this universe normally again. Now I sound like it's a bad movie or something. But I do want to get back to this universe again, if only to experience being a dragon again.

I wrote this some time ago, but not in my offline DJ: "I had a dream that made me sad when I woke up. I don't remember when I dreamed it, but I recently remembered it. It wasn't the dream itself that was sad, so it wasn't that my day was affected by something imagined. However, the emotions in the last moments of the dream did stay with me at the instance of wakefulness. In the time just after realising you're awake but before you realise where you are, I went from so unbelievably bliss full to hollow and empty feeling. I don't know how the dream started or where it went to get to this final point - it's probably inconsequential and certainly nonsensical - but at the final point in my dream, I was happier than I can remember being for a long time. My dream was very simple, I think, but since I only remember the last moments I can only say conclusively that the idea was simple. In the dream I was seemingly as I am now apart from one single difference. You may see it as minor or you may see it as major. I was married, presumably, and holding the love of my life who was pregnant with our first child. I remember the sunlight on her face and her smiling. I just felt content, and wished things could stay like this for ever. Then I woke up. Not like being torn away or fading out but instantly jerked into that semi-concious state, one moment there, the next here. I realised I was alone and wondered why. Then I realised I didn't know this woman and couldn't remember her face. How could I forget her? Finally, full conciousness hit and I remember life as it is. I realised that I had been dreaming. In the moment I remember being the saddest I have been in some time. I remember feeling hollow. Then I got on with my day, and forgot about it, mostly." That was the most emotially intense dream fragment I've ever had. I don't know what made me remember it now, but when I do remember it, I feel sad. It sounds cheesy, but I can still see her face, when I remember this dream.
23rd May 2011 Notes| Dream I had no recall during the 21st and 22nd.. Apparently there were vampires living under the soil in my backyard.. Some asian spiritual people/exorcists came. Seeing as it was still bright outside, they went to spray holy water on the soil. The exorcists armed themselves with silver blades of some type.. (very much like katanas but very slightly thicker). I asked for a katana in case one of the vampires got past their defend, it was very light. As they were getting ready to face the vampires, a male and female (both in their late teens) stood in front of the garage door (?) and started playing on an instrument what i can only describe as Asian version of a violin. Instead of having nylon(I don't know much about violins) strings, it was strung with what seemed to be thick rubber. Integrated into the side of my house was a bus full of high schoolers (no idea why). I climbed into the bus, watching from the windows into backyard. "Here they come.." I said to everyone on the bus. The I heard music played from the violins followed by a sharp scream. The vampires had come out.. A vampire with black hair and black trench coat flew into the bus and stuck his fangs into the girl in front of me. Instinctively I stepped forward with katana in hand and went for an exorcism head lob.. the katana did about as much as chisel at his neck. The vampire looked up at me and leapt at me. I blocked with the katana but he was way too strong. I ran out the bus and fled. He chased. I sprinted into my room and grab a Gameboy Advance off my bed.. just as the vampire was about to strike at me, i offered to vs him. (WHAT ON EARTH) He accepted my offer and left my room (phew). I jumped out of my bedroom window and climbed over the fence in my backyard, running up the driveway of my neighbors house for help. The house was.. different. It was like construction was being made on it with fluorescent orange tape around areas. I climbed up the stairs (they don't actually have stairs at the front of their house..) and just walked into the house. I looked out the window into the backyard of my house-

These dreams come in different segments but they're all connected. Also, I've had these dreams before on several different occasions. This time I had more lucid control over them, they were much more vivid, and I have little trouble recalling them. The start of the first dream took place in a ravine, some dark rocky trench flanked between two buildings, like an alley. I was with a friend and we both came across a mannequin at the bottom of the trench. The mannequin was alive and she told us to retrieve the key inside her in order to continue to the next half of my dream. There was a hole in her thigh, so I ripped off the plastic skin there and found a series of plastic tuppaware containers that were filled with food. We opened each container and emptied the contents to find the key. The hole in her leg that held the tuppaware got deeper and the small plastic containers got bigger. The more bins we opened, the more rotten and bug infested the food became. My friend was disgusted and didn't want to continue looking. But I finished on my own because I wanted to continue the dream. I found the key in the last largest maggot inhabited container. The dream continued without my friend but I was accompanied by Vin Diesel (the actor) and Optimus Prime (a Transformer). We had a mission to stop a latex fetish woman who tortured and killed people. While we staked out the factory she used as a hideout, Optimus and Vin were perched on a nearby warehouse roof. Optimus was in his truck form and I suddenly realized that he was stuck in this fashion and he couldn't transform. Vin said he knew a way to unlock this, so he jumped off the roof and wandered into the latex lady's factory. I've had this dream before, and I consciously remembered that Vin gets tortured and killed inside the factory, so I jump off the roof and pursue him in order to prevent the same outcome as it would usually happen. I entered the building and it was lit by red lamps, like a dark room. Vin Diesel was floating in a pool of blood and tied by the wrists and ankles so he was immobile and couldn't escape. The woman was beginning to saw into his skull and I fought her off. At first, I thought it was somebody else fighting her, but it was me, just in a different body. I have brown eyes and black shoulder length hair in waking life, but here I had long blond hair and white eyes. I also had gloves with the imprint of skeleton hands on them, but when I fought with them, they became real bones and claws. The woman continued to struggle against me and eventually pinned me down and cut my face into a very intricate pattern that resembled tiger stripes on my cheeks and a thorned crown on my forehead that had the word "condemned" inscribed in the middle. They looked like a henna tattoo rather than scars or fresh wounds. She laughed at me and said I was worthy of making a movie out of. That upset me, I felt mocked and belittled. So I smiled and fought her back more viciously, saying that movies are fake and nothing like real life. The real world is full of pain and suffering and confusion and the cinema world is something that takes us away from fake synthetic things like her. I could clearly hear the song "Blue Orchid" by The White Stripes as I continued to scold her and beat her. Thoughts and Stuff There were other small segments that involved stuffing hundred dollar bills into my bra, more tuppaware incidents that had nesting doll qualities, and screwing a girl that I used to have a thing for (still have a thing for? lol). Most of my dreams have been very nostalgic and exhausting to recall lately but this one made me wake up refreshed and curious. If you would like to share some insight, feel free.

This dream makes no sense without the context, so here it is. Throughout middle school i had a few friends, but only one best friend, we will call him J. One day early in high school J decided he hated me? er something? anyway, i was kind of rattled up by this. So here's the dream... I was standing in front of my computer, behind the chair like i was about to shut it down, but then i got a message from my old friend via the messaging service we used. I then sat down, i was immediately teleported to a road that is very near the street on which i live, and for some reason i was in the military, and my unit was with me, we walked down the street till we got to my house, i went to the front door "Youre going in there?" one man from my unit said "Yeah theyll be happy to see me" i replied in reference to my parents "I screwed up with my parents too bad before i left" another man said "I screwed up too but theyll still be happy to see me". I then went inside my house, there was an easel on the table with a peice of paper that showed the first line of my favorite song at the time (Aeriels- System of a down) "Life is a water fall, were one in the river and one again after the fall" my father recited these words as my mom came over with a tooth pick and stuck it into a hardly healing bullet wound i had on my leg. I awoke screaming. I have 2 interpretations of this dream, one is that if i go back to talking with him i will just wind up getting hurt. the second is in reference to the quote, Life is a waterfall, we're one in the river and one again after the fall, what if this was the fall? and we would be friends again after it? Tell me what you think in the comments! thanks for reading! (The issue has been resolved, we are now good friends once more, the dream however still puzzles me)
Out of the many dreams I had last night this is all I can Remember in great detail. I had a dream about being younger although knowing I was older in a playground with a lot of other kids. I was apparently taking 2nd grade school classes again and was at recess, I walked around the park, it was covered in wet grass and puddles, it was a little chilly. But not too much to worry about. There were colorful slides and structures on the playground so I went towards one of the yellowish blue forts and decided to play on it. but three big kids were in my way and said they wouldnt let me on and that I would never get passed them, but I did, one by one my stubborness pushed them aside and I got to the top of the slide fort, they were angry so they started to chase me . I ran all around and hid behind slides. as I was hiding I noticed my school building, it was familiar in a way I could not explain. My teacher and some kids were playing in a large puddle it was deeper than most of the kids.I looked over and to my horror the three older kids found me and were running towards me, I noticed a HUGE slide easily taller than three school buildings combined and started to climb it knowing that it would be the best place to secure myself in, also aware that I could kick any of them down if they chose to start climbing, halfway up, however them pulled on my legs and threw me down, then they started wailing on me. I lost conciousness. 2. (LUCID) I was in dark room with a couple of candle lights illuminating the room, there were two portals on either sides of the walls I fought to stay lucid using every stabilization trick I knew, but soon after wandering around the candles the dream ended. (Lucid) After I awoke from my first lucid I decided to fall back asleep and after about 10 mins of Sp, Large gusts of wind pulled my from my bed and threw me into a new room. It was a very brightly colored house. Very clean and nice. The walls were a bright feiry orange with blue to the sides. I looked around the rooms and saw my mom cleaning like usual. I went back into my room and saw my little brother playing video games (also like usual) I felt like the dream was trying to trick me with things I was comfortable with, so that I would just accept reality. But I knew there was something different to this place. A whole nother vibe to it. I walked outside and down the stairs around me were some quaint shops and a large cathedral. The whole town was vibrant with color, but very empty. I wandered around the streets in hope of finding someone new and interesting but i found no one. I woke up soon after ( or atleast I thought I did) I awoke in the middle of my room telling my big brother about the dreams I had just had (later noting that I had no recollection of ever telling my brother that, because he had left for california the night before, which meant that I was in a false awakening and therefore still in a dream.) Tricked by my mind, I lost lucidity and continued with the dream plot. (Fragment) The next thing I knew I was in a large field joining in on a huge sport that most of my classes were playing. I saw alot of kids from my school and teachers as coaches. I joined in my World Civ 2 teachers team and grabbed a lights blue jersey. The game was played with a round ball and the object of the game was to tackle anyone who had the ball for a point. I played a couple rounds of the game until it ended and socialized with some of the friends I knew how I normally would. I woke up.
Okay so I've had a few dreams over the past week which I haven't had a chance to log, unfortunately no lucids and generally fragments so I'll just stick to one colour. 1. Full Dream I'm on the run from Iron man's sidekick again. As I walk down a road near my house I pass a costcutter and decide I need water. Whilst sneaking down the side to steal some I get spotted by a group of local kids, they heckle me and dare me to come closer. For some reason there is some sort of storage facility where the road should be consisting of low concrete walls and wire fences. I walk up to one of the walls and confront them, this seems to work and I leave. I now enter a casino where I am now being hunted down by a man in a grey suit who I know is very dangerous. Somebody says to me that I need to master my powers just like in a lucid dream, particularly flight and telekinesis. I cannot believe I missed this dream sign. I sit at one of the tables and start playing blackjack, using my newly mastered telekinesis to lift cards and chips at the perfect moment so that I win a large amount of money. I store my winnings in a tube of chips. The man in grey comes to find me and I used my mind to flick chips at him, all this does is annoy him and next thing I know we're fighting. The situation is just like the boss level of House of the Dead 3. We're suddenly in a cylindrical room and he's flying around me making me dizzy. The fight is deadly but I am aware that I can win with my powers. I stab at him with pencils whilst he pummels me with his fists. Eventually he swoops beneath me and I fly down and grab his head. As he struggles to escape I disconnect his lower jaw and throw it away as he roars. He tries attacking me with the remaining upper teeth and somehow I disconnect these too so that he has no weapons left. The next thing I know it's as if that fight never happened, I see my girlfriend on the phone to her Dad. It turns out he's damaged his jaw and needs a dentist. 2.Full recall which has now faded I only have the notes for this dream "Cranborne. G_. E_ down. Gig. Struggle for tickets." I can hardly remember this dream except for the fact we were in G_'s flat, I assume we were all going to a gig. 3. Full recall which has now faded I'm on a train near Bournemouth in the exact same location where I had a dream before. All my friends were there then but now only VH is. The train is going downhill and I show VH a teddybear, he likes this teddybear and thinks it's cute, treating it like a baby. We talk for a short while and then I go into the next carriage. Here I see A_ who tells me she has had a boob job and insists on showing me. She looks like someone out of a magazine (and definitely doesn't in real life, sorry!). 4. Fragment I look in the mirror at my spots and find that they've all gone bubbly and are layering upon eachother, they appear infected like a man's leg that I saw on television the other day. I feel relieved as I know I have a new spot cream from the doctors (also in RL) which works really well. 5. Fragment I walk in on my Dad pumping up footballs. I ask him if I can borrow the pin so I can inflate my American Football. I do so and am happy that it's no longer flat. 6.Fragment from a while back Don't know why but I remember this fragment really vividly despite the fact that it was from two weeks ago. I am at a nightclub and get offered drugs. One gets poured into my hand and I do not want to take it because I never have before. I decide to take half of the tablet. I notice that these tablets look identical to one of the ones I used to use when I worked at the pharmacy. 7.Full recall which has now faded I have no idea why I didn't record this dream ages ago. I leave Hurn House near where I live and the geography is all wrong. There is a huge hill sloping downwards in front of my and a monorail to my left (see dream 3). I can look out onto the sea as if a section of the town has been chopped away and the sea moved closer. All of my old school friends are outside, J_, VH, T_, L_, R_, B_, S_ etc etc. Me and J_ start doing a weird dance which involves mirroring eachother whilst we twist our hands left and right whilst outstretched, like turning on a tap or something. We both find this dance funny as if we purposely learned it at an earlier date.
It starts off we're on an island with a deep river separating the two exact halves and the only way across is by hanging off a metal bar while standing on another directly beneath it. it's very stormy and myself, my crush Danielle, and other friends of mine are trying to cross this bar to get back to what seemed like a little holiday home. three people have crossed including Danielle. I am halfway across when the wind picks up significantly. it almost blows me off but I make it across. once I touch ground Danielle runs up to me and hugs me tight and then asks if im ok. i say im fine and i then ask her how she is. she says as long as me, her boyfriend is there to protect her, she's fine. Since I'm not her real life boyfriend it flashes back to a point where we were at school and our hands touch while walking. our fingers interlock before we both pull away. then it flashes forward to the island house where she is curled up on the couch by herself watching TV. I come in to the room and then explain to her how i feel about her. she says she shares these feelings so I sit down next to her and put my arm around her. she smiles and rests her head on my shoulder. another flash forward to two weeks later where I am out on the deck watching the dusk set in and watching the waves crash onto the beach. Danielle comes out on to the deck and asks what's wrong. I explain to her about my last relationship and how i dumped her because i had a very vivid dream about being with her (Danielle) and being much happier than i was with my girlfriend. I then explained how i had an identity crisis and had to dump the girlfriend to think. then it rekindled my feelings for danielle. she then says everything will be ok. i ask are you sure, and she then kisses me on the lips and then says i know so. it then flashes to the present after i had crossed the bar. Danielle and I walk hand in hand back to the house after everyone had crossed the bar.
Normal Dream Lucid Dream Side-Notes ------------------------------------------------------------(I'm not sure if these dreams, are all connected or if they are separate. I'm just guessing.) Fragment: I'm in my house and my cousin is living with us again. (He use to live with us, but then he moved out.) We're actually getting along. Dream 1: I'm a superhero fighting a monster. I know it's my responsibility but I keep leaving to watch Avatar. (I don't know why I left because in the dream it was recording on our DVR. Also, I went back and forth lots and lots of times so this part of the dream was pretty long.) Then the scene changed and my mom, sister and I are driving in a car. We go down a one-way road that is blocked and continue through the detour. The workers say the detour isn't finished being built and we have to go back through the one-way road. Going back up is uphill and since I'm the guy I have to push our car up the hill. We make it home and watch a movie.(Not Avatar) Dream 2: My mom wants a locker, like the ones in my school. I take her to school and as I'm showing her my locker my Spanish teacher comes up says stuff.(I forget what she says.) Then some other teacher comes up and says more stuff. The scene changes to a play. My family and I are in the back. We start talking about dreams. Dream 3: I was a library trying to meet a guy that is a master at lucid dreaming. I decide to reality check and realize I am dreaming. The dream gets blurry. I Lick the bookshelf to stabilize the dream, it gets really clear. The guy told me to make it brighter. I tried using verbal commands but it only worked a little bit. My alarm woke me up. ------------------------------------------------------------Side-Notes: *This was my first real lucid, I'm so happy. *It probably would of lasted longer if it wasn't for my alarm. *Next time hopefully my lucid comes earlier in the night.

Just one fragment: I'm in a cinema. The movie finishes and there is a preview of an new movie: it's some kind of parody and it's called : The revenge of the douchbags A few scenes are shown and it really seems that this movie is about 2 douchbags. The people in the cinema look awkward and don't know what to do or to say
11.28.10 Type: Lucid, Memorable Lucidity: 8/10 Vividness: 9/10 I'm just going to write this one as a pretty direct translation from my dream journal. Library with my Dad.. return to the library later with my friend alex. I'm sitting on the couch with my cousin L and also J.Z., a girl I used to like and respect in highschool, in the same library, playing guitar. I think we are all playing music together and the sound is incredible and everything just flows together like water in a stream, really beautiful. The dream changes and we are exploring a massive basement in a house, supposedly JZ's, concrete floors and generally abandoned. Feels like a warehouse almost. One room we enter has a big worksmiths metal cabinets with boxes of junk and tools, as JZ passes by she laughs and pulls a joke by pulling out in succession boxes with rocks paper and scissors out- very funny and cute. We leave and go to 2 other rooms, one is dilapidated like one of those rotting/falling apart old abandoned houses I saw quite often in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, also massive and completely empty, like a house inside of this basement. The other we enter and close the door, steel push handle pretty classic big heavy door. There's a huge AC/furnace in the room big enough to power a hotel, and there is a massive storage unit which JZ jokes that she might use if only she were tall enough to reach it, and indeed it is about 12 feet tall with no way to access it. Now here's the really incredible part of this dream - I realize that I'm dreaming when I experience a sort of dream overlap which I haven't ever experienced before, I described it upon waking like this: Somewhere along the line I realize that I'm dreaming because I feel LIsa's foot moving next to my ear. It is like my view is 50/50 in the dream state, half of my perception is occupied by feeling her foot moving and see the foot/ my head interacting in some sort of architecture rendering mode, all grey and blue lines like a vector model of the scene mapped out - on top of that or simultaneously I see the dream scene, the room and L and JZ on top of that. It's like a ripple in the dream state. I tell L this and she says that we should wake up since it isn't good to leave out your instruments while we sleep since the temperature change at night could ruin them [lol..s igh] but I insist that it is okay, trying my best to convince her not to wake up, which I do wind up convincing her not to. I feel this sensation of overlapping dreams several times. Lisa jokes that she can't open the door as if we are stuck in this dream room, and JZ and I are like wtf you're joking and she is, we all run out of the room laughing and vault up some big concrete stairs with yellow large painted railings like you see at loading docks at supermarkets. At the top of the stairs we walk into the same library that I have already visited twice tonight, and though I don't realize it we are all sleeping in some corner of that very room [so I believed at the time]. L asks what I want to do now before we wake up, I think about it and recall some hilarious joke images I saw earlier in the night [ or maybe in waking life] that I wanted to enjoy again or recreate.. I feel the dream starting to fade, so I touching things and focusing on their texture- clothes, large leaves on a potted plant nearby, stone of a raised circular sitting area, and finally the carpet on the floor, which has tiny raised squares and is soft with a very pleasant active texture which brings my dream back into full vividness [sweet, first time I've remembered to use this and it as very successful].. at this point though I lose some lucidity and walk over to the library computers and pull up the images which are displayed in some sort of WoW/WC3 program, some of them are funny internet type joke images and just weird, but after going through a few I get bored and feel that L is waiting for me so I log off and find L and tell her we can wake up now, and I actually do wake up : ) SO.. pretty incredible and exciting experience for me. When I woke up I was totally blown away by what had just happened. Becoming lucid in a dream within a dream shared with other dream characters! haha! I realized I was dreaming when my perception was interrupted/expanded [I wrote down this phrase "interruped/expanded" in my DJ and I feel like it describes the sensation perfectly- has anyone else also had this experience?] to the view of the food near my head on the pillow. I wasn't fully fully lucid though I don't think, since I had confused my situation in that the last dream I had exited to be waking life, instead of just being the last dream I had experienced. Also, this lucid had a much different feel to it than all my other lucids.. in those I became totally aware that I was in my head and imagination or whatever, and thought only about my control over the situation and what sort of things that I should do, almost like I'm set in that white loading dock in the Matrix movies where you can summon guns and everything, but with nothing really happening around me.. But in this dream I was aware that I was dream while simultaneously enjoying the freedom of interacting with a fully formed dream scenes and stable dream characters.. I really enjoyed this a lot. In the other lucids I was so focused on my own ability, my own power, that it felt almost crippling, like I was trying to grasp desperately onto what I might be able to do, my lack of capability for control, etc. This dream felt so free and revitalizing in comparison. I think that perhaps the overlapping perspective may have been an actual awareness of my physical body, my head on the pillow, and the foot may have been a hallucination that my mind used to compensate for a stable world environment.. what tricks the mind plays in order to keep itself afloat! Really beautiful experience though. I hope everyone is waking in their dreams, and having liberating experiences. Sweet jam I just found, not anything to do with dreaming but fun to write a DJ to hah
11.18.10 Type: Non-lucid, DS Vividness: 7/10 Lucidity: 1/10 I'm in a small carpeted basement of this girl's house, and there is a stack of pillows against the wall which I immediately think is a grow room for whatever reason, and it turns out I am correct. There is a rather small square shaped crawl space in the wall which apparently leads to a grow room, but she says [some name] the guy who actually takes care of it doesn't like her showing people. Then I see the shadows of his footsteps near the entry of the room and decide that I want to spy on him, so I run up a flight of stairs that are incredibly similar to a childhood house of mine, but then the stairs continue, and are very windy and massive, going up a down in ways similar to a roller coaster but not so extreme , I crouch down and wait for him.. He comes up the stairs and walks over to a computer desk, and I realize that he can plainly see me and I'm actually quite close.. not a very successful ninja. He calls me down and asks me to check out this projector- apparently he is producing and selling a new movie and is going to project it in a room and wants me check if the screen is large enough, which I affirm it is because it's massive. There are a bunch of oak desks with cell phones and other weird paraphernalia that are apparently related to the movie. Other DC enter into the room and the dream fades This dream is important to me since it is another occurrence of a suspected common dreamsign of mine- huge spiraling/twisting staircases, paths, or roads which are an incredibly obvious impossibility in waking life . I will use this as a visualization for becoming lucid this week. Jim Carrey I'm riding on a bike in a city [similar to Boston which I just visited], riding through many shops, restaurants, a writers guild [?], all of them are empty and incredibly elegant decked out with hanging glass and crystal lights, dark oak woodwork on the benches tables and walls, white drapes and large windows. Made my way to a main road, and now there are cars and people walking about normally. I ride down the sidewalk but feel out of place.. the shops I just rode through felt like they were from another time period . I felt like I was experiencing two time periods simultaneously in the same city. I ride away from the buildings and wonder what it would be like to attend a food market/buy food in the older times as I cross a large road. I come across a large open area, with green grass and some sparse trees and what seems to be a market of sorts. There is a pretty huge hill next to the market which is also incredibly thin, [definitely physically impossible, looked like a poorly rendered video game environment] and I decide that I'm going to instead ride to the top of the hill to collect some rare fruits instead of shopping at the market. So I'm pedaling my butt off up this mountain while hearing the people below playfully joking at me since it's so silly. The terrain changes quickly under my wheels from grass to rock to dirt to snow, I'm so high up I can't even see the market. I reach the top of the hill, there's a small area next to the path and I find Jim Carrey looking like a bum laying in a pile of leaves! [haha!!]. He's unable to move for some reason [faking injured?] and I think "Well, I didn't find any fruits but if I save Jim I won't look so foolish", so I pick him up and put him and his bags on a nightstand which is now behind me instead of a bike [looks just like the nightstand next to my bed, probably appeared as I wondered how I might transport him on my bike] He's in some weird sort of character acting completely pathetic and demanding and ridiculous, so I let him fall off of the shelf that he's laying on and he looks up at me full of mock hurt/ offended. Hilarious and fun ending to a very enjoyable and abstract dream. Funny that I missed the DS of my bike morphing into my BEDSTAND. hahah.
11.16.10 Type: Lucid, DS Vividness: 6/10 Lucidity: 6/10 Hide and Seek Walking along a cobblestone path, the same on that I was walking on in one of my first lucids, this time walking with a girl I don't recognize.. I do a nose RC because of the surreal landscape, and perhaps because I just came out of a nightmare I think.. anyways noseplug RC succeeds and I affirm that I am dreaming to myself. I remember how last time I was occupied trying to fix my fading vision and thus woke myself up, and recalled that in fact touch is the most prominent stabilizing factor in dreams, so I directed my attention toward my body, my posture, the weight of my jeans on my legs, the smell of the grass and forest we are approaching.. the path ends and we enter some woods with trees with rather large trunks, perhaps cedar.. the girl playfully hides behind some trees and I'm trying to find her, and cannot locate her anymore. Vision starts to fade and I focus on my body and remain conscious, and maintained consciousness through the fading dream into waking, awoke feeling incredibly refreshed. Well I was happy when waking from this LD because I maintained lucidity for approximately 2min, longest achieved thus far that I can remember. Also, I remembered to stay calm and do what I had intended to do which is also a first, rather than try to immediately jump into the sky without thinking or sex up the lady that I was walking with. 11.14.10 Car Nap I don't remember what the dream was about, but I remember taking a nap on the drive back from Boston to Detroit.. I suddenly became aware that I had slipped into the dream state while experiencing HI, the first time I've ever accomplished that. I then tried to run and was incredibly excited and immediately woke myself up. ..
Hi Type: Non-lucid, vivid, memorable Lucidity: [1/10] Vividness: [9/10] A family reunion at a resort settled on the side of a gorgeous beach, rock faced cliff leading down to the beach, huge glass doors, the whole shibang. It's a beautiful sunny summer day, dark green foliage and healthy trees everywhere, white sand. All is well, children playing, until one of the Aunts of the family notice the youngest child of the family is missing, a little girl. The whole family searches around the house, no girl - spreads the search outside around the house toward the beach, everyone is calling for her. As more time passes without finding her, the girl's mother becomes more and more frantic and paranoid [as any mother would in the situation]. Since these huge rocks [like Red Rocks in Denver, except normal looking with green moss] are right behind the house, the mother is convinced she's fallen off and everyone heads down to the beach below and recruit the beach goers for a search party. A bell sounds in the distance and everybody gathers around - a man sees something in the near distance floating in to shore. The scene skips to flashes of some pictures of the little girl laughing and playing with a guy in his early thirties probably, pretty normal looking, that somebody must have taken earlier that day, showing that she must have been abducted by this man and killed. The family finds the work-place of the guy since he is nowhere to be found, a video rental/convenience store, and go there late at night after they hold the girl's funeral on the side of the hill near the place she died.. The father of the girl walks behind the counter and register and holds him up against the wall by his throat, acusing him of what he did and getting angry, not shouting angry but more of a morbid/calm/sad anger instead of hysterics. The whole family files in behind him, takes pictures of this happening, and proceeds to walk around the store like tourists, beach clothes, big glasses and all, checking out the movies available and eating food off the shelves [evidently terrorizing the guy]. Some of them go outside to smoke periodically. They leave after a bit , silently staring at the clerk [stealing lots of stuff from the store as they go], push him over and say "This isn't over." Focus switches to the clerk ,sitting on the ground behind the counter with a kind of confused, thoughts burning through his head - he never abducted any girl. He was spending his break on the beach, and happened to walk past a little girl with a sunhat and dress on. She looked up and smiled at him, and as if the rug was pulled out from under his feet, the world turns hellish - black stormy sky, the girl has become a nude red demon with distorted and malicious looking features, and the ocean has morphed into a swirling vortex of fire and lava. The demon grabs his leg and starts hauling at his leg, pulling him into the ocean of fire. He loses conciousness, and comes to his senses lying on the beach, alone. He looks into his lap, where the family threw the pictures of him playing with the girl happily, hauntedly. After this I'm on the hill where the girl is buried, digging through her coffin, which is like a shell of a coffin around hers, so she's not lying there dead or anything. It's dark out, waning moon and lots of stars, it seems that the hill is near the backyard of the supposed abductor. I'm looking through this bag and I find a comic, which shows the entire dream I just had, and at the end it shows this place 2,000 years later, and the place where the girl pulled him into the fire, there is a swirling rock formation that resembles the vortex that had appeared. This adds to the creepiness of the whole thing, and I run down to the water to investigate. I'm wearing beach clothes, feel the cool sand under my feet. Incredibly clarity. Well, there's nothing there, just an ordinary beach, and I run back up to the coffin to fetch the comic book to show my friends, but when I look it is no longer there! I don't feel compelled to open the casket, nor fearful of it particularly, but close the coffin and start heading to my car. As I do my black cat Tori runs past me and meows, I chase and pet her a bit [ADHD LOL] then dash to my car to drive off quickly since I'm trespassing on this guy's property. I get in, foot on the break, try to quickly search for my keys where I usually stash them - find it! - fumble a bit and stick it into the ignition, lights on, turn the key and the car won't start and I wake up. This reinforces, yet again, that driving a car is one of my most frequent dream activities, for whatever reason. I've been in a car in several dreams just in this past week. I've resolved to do an RC every single time I get into a car from now on . If I'm in a car and realized I haven't RC'd yet, then I missed the target but RC anways. This way I'll have it in my head "did I RC when I got in the car?", and if I didn't I might think to myself "Well how and when did I get in this car? Who is with me?" and might impel me to examine my situation more intently and BAM LUCIDITY. well.. that's the plan at least.
