Busy week. Posting a super short summary for reference. 02 May # 1: With Rumplestiltskin again, this time lucid. We talk and explore around. # 2: aggression induced ld, dodging bullets by slowing time and phasing. Later went after the attackers using super strength. 05 May # 3: distractions . Later recalled the basic smell task - found an aromatic candle, which unfortunately didn't smell at all. Then smelled a little bottle of shampoo next to it, smelled like one of those aroma essential oil extracts. 07 May # 4 (++): Wild + deild and unidentified ld fragment: remembered the basic task again, smelled the air - cold and fresh with a gentle tree scent. Met a friend - actually imposter DC, talked a bit, listened to dream music in the distance. Memories of a cave scene.
Date: 08 Aug Pre bed: 1/2 cup soy milk, 350 mg arginine (combo) Wbtb: 1/2 latte, felt discomfort due heat which made it harder to concentrate. I tried doing 1-2 ssild cycles to relax, but mostly gave up due discomfort. WILD: First was a transitional stage of me in bed and my body rotating, as I was trying to figure out which hands I'm moving. Kind of blurry memory here. This later switches to another scene in parents' old bedroom where I appear feeling rather floaty and unstablish. In front of me are wooden shelves, so I run my hands on the surfaces multiple times to anchor myself. At the same time a glass case catches my attention, where I can see my reflection - averagely normal with something weird lurking behind. As I turn around to see what it is I am faced by my own doppelgänger and she is somewhat aggressive. She throws herself on the ground initially in some sort of a unexplainable act. Then approaches menacingly but I put her on hold - at an arm's distance with my mind. As I manage my own reactions she calms down and now I decide to look at her more closely and make some manipulations. What if I were taller and she is now much taller. I examine her with curiousity but still have a bit of an after feel of aggression so decide to make sure she is harmless. I give the overly tall DC a hug around the waist and watch as she changes features to a different DC. Then, I see the door behind her and feel like doing some tking. I look at it in order to will it open but the dream slips away. Back to my body and still for a DEILD DEILD: I appear on the balcony, the one that looks over to neighbors. Quite excited about being here as this brings memories of past non-lds. There is a guy that pushes me ahead (as to move further, him being quite active) as I examine the neighbors' balcony. The dream is rather unstable at this point but I'm glad to have a companion and cross over to the other balcony where there is some sort of mattress, thinking both of us can sit here for a bit and plan the dream. Forgot the exact words now, but told him something like "let's talk about adventures" or so and was waiting for him to sit. He disappears in the kitchen (neighbors) but then is back again, wearing the same red t-shirt as I make a mental note (resembles somewhat Michael Cassidy). My voice is barely coming out as I say the adventure sentence and I wonder if it would count if I ask him about the basic task telepathically. But how is he going to answer? Too complicated and I decide to go with normal speech, struggle to speak but finally ask him. His reply is "Woof" which sounds as if he is barking. Me: "Woof?", are you sure? He: Uhum. (as in yes) Me: Ok, then. So what does that mean? He: Hoof. I ask for confirmation and he gives me another uhum. Oh well. The dream soon falls apart. I'm not feeling quite in shape to deild so let it go at this point and after a brief ld review go to sleep. Non-memorable dreams, something vivid that forgot and then. LD: I am near this familiar building. Something clicks and I recognize this as place of older dreams. There was a false memory or thought about the place too. I get inside and decide to experiment with door summons to see where they lead. I open a door - there are two DCs coming out of something that looks like a sparsely furnished bathroom. I don't quite like it, so close the door and wait a bit till it changes to try again. In the meantime, more DCs appear around me and one of them makes aggressive moves towards me. After an initial super strength outburst, which comes out like some sort of a force push, I decide to chill out and try to calm them down while taking a moment to examine my inner state. I'm still slightly apprehensive of them, so try to control my own reactions and feel more at ease. From the tense situation I work on my indifference, relaxing more and at some point I start walking around freely and making funny zen moves (but not the Xanous move alas!). Don't remember when but at some point the dream ends. Lucid FA: I wake up at home, the room looking very realistic and bf is walking around. I decide to play a bit stupid and ask him if I'm dreaming couple of times as if I've lost my mind and can't tell that this is reality. He reacts almost normally but I am still unconvinced. There's something in his reaction that is a bit off. "Hey, am I dreaming?", I continue shouting as he vanishes behind the corner. A female DC with a dark red cardigan comes in and then there is no more doubt. I feel a bit euphoric about being able to catch this fa as it felt like quite the thing I would have missed. Contrary to other times when I have entered the other room, it now turns to a different place altogether. At first I don't catch the clues, but after more examination of the classical wooden furniture, it clicks how this place can indeed be the interior of Howl's castle. Without any intention from my side, I notice that there is a fireplace to the side and the fire is as real as it gets. It dawns on me after seeing it that it is calficer. I approach the dream fire with astonishment for it is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It's not just a regular fire - there is so much light in it, it shines like a little star, while at the same time being surrounded by flames. I feel almost mesmerized by the sight of it and am so happy to have it in the dream. Spontaneously, I place my hands around the fire and try to absorb some of its heat and energy. As my hands get closer to the little fire, there is slight tension as in heat related sensation but insignificant to dwell on. In the meantime, the fire gets smaller and smaller as if this process is really draining it. I don't want to do away with it altogether so stop whatever it is I'm doing. The thought crosses my mind that I have spent way too long playing around and risk not completing the task because of that. I face the room and see that the girl is here again. Now she has a pony tail, blue top and and slightly disturbing facial hair. As I approach her, her face clears a bit and I ask her couple of times if she is Sophie, to which she replies yes. Perfect, now all I need is a door. There's a small door on the wall that I open, but it turns more into a small window, plus I need to turn the color dial wheel first. I face the other wall where there is a white door and look to see if there is a dial next to it - there isn't. I recall couple of techniques I thought of using in such case, but instinctively pick another one. Bf's DC is just nearby so I ask him to hand me a dial wheel to put next to the door. He gives me a round knob-like white object that I place next to the door, cover with my hands and start spinning, until the second layer of it starts to reveal multiple colors. Initially it stops on blue, then it moves to orange. I feel like I want to pick a particular color but am not quite sure which one. I rotate it to yellow, remarking to myself this is taking way too much time. Curious whether the outside will be the same as what can be seen through the nearby window (garden), I think it's high time to stop messing with the wheel dial and open the door. But it's too late - the dream abruptly ends and I find myself in bed, moving my hand and feels like I've lost the opportunity to go back and complete the task.

[Had this dream at around 6:30AM yet again, just like yesterday's lucid Seems like i follow some kind of pattern here ^^] [For some reason the dream collapsed on me around 15 times, so i won't mention it every single time, since i can't tell all the exact places where it collapsed] I was at the end of our garden, near the raspberry bushes, with lots of random people i don't know and some scorpions and lethal critters were attacking those people. It got me lucid, since that was just stupid The first thing i did was fly up into the air, just to get away from the scorpions, just in case. Then as i was about to go and explore, i woke up. [I went back with DEILD]. As i was back in, i realized how fast the dream collapsed... i hoped it won't happen anymore, but even unwantedly i kept thinking about it's possibility. Then i wanted to stabilize a little, since the dream was almost black and white, which is actually not that usual for me. So i thought that i'll try out something new. I remembered the talk about ASMR on DV from some days ago. Basically as i was floating in the air, i induced the ASMR feeling. The waves went all over my body and it felt good, but a little weak. As i did this, i kept thinking about how awesome it's to be in a lucid dream. These two things combined caused the world around me to gain lots of color. It was amazing to watch how the colors suddenly returned to the environment I didn't really have much idea what to do, so i kept stumbling around our outbuilding and the garden, when i noticed a squirrel eating from our cats' bowl. I went up to it and started petting it. It seemed peaceful enough, but i felt like it didn't like being petted. [Too bad, since it was really cute ^^] As i was petting the squirrel, i woke up again. [Back with DEILD of course]. Up to this point the dream collapsed multiple times, but i didn't worry. I just stabilized by ASMR everytime when i got back in. The colors coming back into the world was just too good to see to pass this kind of stabilization Then i realized that the squirrel ran away, it wasn't at the bowl already. Well, i guessed it didn't like being petted for sure now. I flew up into the air and while doing so, i had some black backgrounded forum's picture popping in before me. All i could see was that people on that forum were talking about Dream Guides. As this was over, i got an idea. I'll get on the roof and shout out for a Dream Guide, since Lucy doesn't seem to be happy to help me out. [Of course with it in mind that i wouldn't accept the approaching DG if it would look/act stupid, i still plan about Lucy]. So i kept flying towards the roof, but i got trapped in a loop. As i was flying upwards, through the plastic roof we have over the ledge, anytime i passed the roof, there was another same looking plastic roof above me. I gave up on it because i woke up multiple times during trying this. Instead i flew towards the street. At this moment something passed my mind: Someone on DV was complaining about how i always just fly everywhere in my dreams. I thought that i'll change that now just for the sake of it I got to the closest crossroads and thought about a place in the city where i could easily call out for a DG. [Sadly i don't remember what place i planned to go to]. So to get there, i didn't want to fly, so i descended to the ground. I thought i'll go by car, since i don't remember driving a car at all in lucids before... and since i go by car like 1-2 times a year max [we don't have a car] it might be even fun to drive it. So i walked up to the closest market's "parking lot" and checked out the available cars. There was a huge black jeep there and it seemed like an obvious choice I walked up to the car and as i passed it i grabbed the left side's mirror and broke it off just for fun. Then i looked inside the car. There was a random guy sitting on the backseat, holding some bag of clothes in his hands and staring at me with half-open eyes. He seemed to be injured or just basically sick. I grabbed the guy and just teared him out of the car along with the door, then thrown him away. [I know i was mean, but he is just a DC]. It felt kinda good that i just teared that door out with the guy so easily... This is a sight i rarely see. So i hopped onto the front seat, not caring about the missing door. I didn't even use the keys, the car just started as soon as i wanted it to. At first i even forgot to use the gas pedal [haha]. The car went surprisingly fast and took the corners so easily... totally not like how i remembered it... probably the dream altered it a little. Even the feeling of sitting in the car felt differently. I passed some pedestrians, carefully to not hit them, then i started using the gas pedal to speed up. I drove in the direction of the city, taking corners at extra speed. I was wondering that maybe i should use the brake, so i stepped on it at the next corner... But it seemed useless, after all i was just dreaming... why would i use the brake? So as i was on my way, i woke up yet again, but accidently moved a little bit and couldn't get back anymore. [Well, i guess it wasn't that bad of a dream, even while i didn't do much... driving a car was interesting, yet it didn't feel so realistic... Maybe another time ] [Is that right that the brake is on the left side and the gas pedal is on the right? Because it was like that in the dream.. i'm not sure if it's like that in real too ]

[This is my first dream journal entry here, hopefully i'll post it the right way ] [Things in brackets like this will just be my thoughts on the dream, ect.] [I'll also ONLY post LUCID DREAMS] So today i tried a WBTB along with SSILD [which i tried for first time] and it was successful. After around 1 hours of sleep i got lucid randomly [DILD]. I was in our kitchen and i remember someone being close to me, but i couldn't see anyone. Since it was kind of dark in there, i thought it's time to get outside. Before going outside i noticed a bun on the desk and decided to try a little telekinesis on it, just to be sure i can Mass TK something later on [the whole challenge thing was in my head all along]. It was really easy to telekineses the bun and i smashed it into the window. Then after that i walked up to the window and just passed through the glass, but for some reason when i noticed our neighbour taking care of her garden, i just fallen back inside our house. I went through the glass once again, thinking that it won't stop me. For sure it didn't, i got outside. It was kinda sunny, but i felt like a storm is coming or something like that. I started with flying up in the air, then i sit down on our fence and looked around. [At this moment i forgot a small part of the dream sadly]. Then i noticed a random ugly old guy sitting in a small car near out fence and he was nude and was smiling weirdly at me... I was just about to go and throw his car away or something, but then suddenly it became night. Since night is not so good and makes it easier to wake up, i decided to find a light source. I noticed a street lamp nearby, which was almost at the right place where it is in reality. I went under it and i was concentrating to create huge a vivid light and make day from night. During this attempt i accidenlty closed me eyes for a little longer, which caused me to wake up. But i got back to the dream easily and fast [my eyes didn't open completely and i just had to wait some seconds to open my dream eyes again]. I was at the same place again and now tried to control the light of the street lamp. It went where i wanted and lighted everything, then i tried to create daylight again, which halfway succeeded as it started to be sunrise slowly. I decided to fly on, but just to the closest crossroads which is close to our house. While flying i wanted to practise more on my telekinesis, so i picked a tree out of the ground and thrown it away, althrough it wasn't the biggest tree, just a smaller one. When i got to the crossroads i just standed in the middle of the road waiting for cars. I noticed some big pile of snow on the road and decided to create a firestorm on it to melt it... i heard the sound of the firestorm, but it didn't appear for some reason... After this the dream started to fall apart harder, so i rubbed my hands together to stabilize it, it worked well. [it was my first hand rubbing stabilization, i used a different method before]. It didn't take long for some cars to come to me. I wanted to use my super strenght now, so i took one of the cars and smashed it onto another with one hand, they got crumbled up well. I thought to myself that this goes easily so i want more challenge. I thought about a truck, which then appeared behind me. I took the truck with two hands and smashed it as well, which caused a kinda big mess on the street. Then i wasn't really okay with it and wanted a truck that has oil or fuel in it. TWO of them appeared immediately, one of them was already threatening me because it was sliding towards me with full speed... It's not a problem, i thought... nothing can hurt me, so come on big guy Just as the truck hit me, it fallen into 2 parts and the oil/fuel all spread on the street. Now was the time to get the other one. I picked it up and smashed it on the oil/fuel [really don't know which one was it] and it caused a HUGE explosion, which i was standing in the middle of. I thought to myself that i caused kind of a big trouble for the neighbourhood now, haha. Then while the flames were still going on, i decided to fly on and for some reason i had a thought that "I was just about to check the time" and got a feeling that i need to fly down one of the roads because of it... While thinking this a clock suddenly flashed in front of me like a vision, which said 10:58 as the current time. [After this i woke up, but i couldn't get back to the dream again... When i woke up the time was 8:05 in reality]. [I went back around 3-4 times to the dream the same way as i written once up above, the dream wasn't that stabil now for some reason]. [I also used the hand rubbing stabilization one more time, but it didn't work this time].
