I'm passing by a house with a beautiful garden with lots of flowers, and I'm seeing it from far distance. I see a yellow caution tape all over the garden; I think to myself "the owners of that house really want to keep people out of their garden". I believe I'm in a car so a keep driving down the street. Then I get into this big, kind of empty parking lot and I'm going in circles trying to find a good spot, I guess closer to this big super center similar to Waltmart. So I finally park the car and I walk couple of steps to enter the store. There are some big and wide stairs to my right so I continue going up, and when I get to the top there's a construction in progress, I take a quick look inside, seems like a big kitchen and there are some guys working on it, there's also a guy just going inside. I continue walking in the store but then I see other stairs heading down, but half way is under construction too and I could see some other guys working on it; so I'm starting to think if there's any other way to get in to the shopping area...So I remember seeing an elevator some where on that second floor, I walk a few steps and I see an elevator but there seems to be no access, there is a rail and next to it the elevator on a dead end wall. I say: "there's no way to get into that elevator", so I head back to the entrance; as I go down the stairs I say to my self " this is a dream", things don't change much but as I get to the bottom of the stairs there's no parking lot, the ground is unpaved and it's night time. Then as I look on the ground I start to see dollar bills, $10's, $20's but as I pic them up more and more start to appear, so I remember to look at my hands no to focus too much on the money; I see 6 fingers on each hand, I rub my hands and stabilize the dream. Then...BINGO!, so I say to my self: " I think with this money I could buy the BOUQUET OF FLOWERS!, so as I'm walking I see an old ranch house to the distance, then my vision gets like a magnified glass, and I see this bouquet of yellow and white flowers, wrapped on a transparent cellophane, and next to it there are some medicinal herbs; they're all hanging in front of the old ranch house, on the roof. as I get closer to the bouquet the dream start to vanish, but I remember to stay still and relaxed completely. I'm back in front of the house, but this time I see an old couple sitting in front of the porch, and as I look down I see a garden full of flowers with many colors. then I hear a voice saying: " you need to wait for the flowers, to be offered to you". I'm not focused on the bouquet any more ,but I want to get the flowers from the garden.. and I think "that would be stilling"..(I guess I'm not lucid anymore?since is a dream, would it be stealing?, Now I stare at the old couple and the dream continues... without lucidity...

NOTE: My recall takes off once again where I became lucid. I've had to sleep with only one blanket recently. It's one of the ones where the design makes it have holes on the whole thing. So I've been sleeping uncomfortably and my recall is shot.

I was outside my apartment right after becoming lucid. I have no clue how I did though. I saw a car and decided to drive it. I noticed I was to big for it though. Hm. Weird. So, I squeeze myself in, and I start the car. I drive all the way down to the end of the development. I was coming up towards three cars at the three-way intersection. So, I slam on the brakes. I ram into the first car. Oh damn it all. So, I now get out, and take the right turn. I run up the street until I reach a streetlight. I see Steve Perry on a stage in the middle of the street. He's singing to everyone(INCLUDING ME TOTM!). I notice he's all alone up there singing "Wheel in the Sky." I jump up and grab a guitar, and stet playing(Yes, I know this song on guitar). The guitar solo now kicks in, and I play it. Soon I see someone who's terrorizing everyone. Really?! Oh well, at least I did TOTM. I go back to the car crash, and I see one of the mechs from Avatar(the movie, not the anime). I get in it, and I pull out my weapon. Really?! It's a bunch of different colored missiles on a pistol. I fly up from the mech and see the guy. I fires the missiles at him, but they don't do jack shit. Oh damn it all. I noe get back in the mech, and sit down. I close the cockpit and go back to the missiles. I pull out a big shotgun. I shoot the missiles, and a shitty foot radius explosion happens. Dammit! I notice the guy got away now. Fuck! I see him flying away. I get out, and hold onto the mech. I try ki speed flying, but I can't. What?! Oh it's the mech, but I wanna take it with me! I can't seem to get away with it, to I go and sit upon a tree until I awake.

05-08-11 I am in holland again, I am outside and I am sleeping, though I am partially awake. There is chatter in the background and I believe they wouldn't actually wake me up, due to me having specified having an interest in dreams and sleep.

I keep waking up and looking out down towards the garage. At one point Ant comes over, I hear him before I see him and he intends on waking me up in a rather funny, but unpleasant matter. He intends to pour a glass of pickled cucumber over my face.

As he approaches I look up and laugh a bit, he doesn't seem to want to stop so I look at him, still smiling and start making some physically impossible move and tell him to lay off or “there will be violence”.

He lays off and we decide to head out. We head towards a supermarket at first and I am quickly left behind. I think about Ida who is standing a bit ahead and I think it is fair enough she doesn't want me anyways, I have little interest in her anyways. However it does spark a hint of emotional discomfort though no way near as much as usual.

As I am climbing over the wall I look down and I see a blue beetle that is best described as a mixture of a lady bug and a LEGO Duplo piece, with legs. I hear Ruth shouting to the others “He is coming I have just seen him jump”.

I notice how gracefully I jump both down the wall and past a couple of people over a pool of water. I notice my dream sign that I am capable of parcour. I become lucid.

I start looking around and fly a bit. I am in a city that seems like a crossover between Århus and Amsterdam. The rest of the crew is in a warehouse on the top floor and when I see them I start flying up towards them.

On the way up there I decide to try out some spider man stuff instead and I procede to crawling up the wall. Close up the wall is mostly redish with a lot of black to gray texture in it. The way I am stuck to the wall is remarkable in the way that I don't seem stuck as such, but it feels like my hands and feet are magnetically attached to the wall.

I start thinking if there is somethng I am supposed to do. I have decided to give the confidence issues a bit of a rest and decide to go playful. What is the TotM. Get a DC to sing and go to the chocolate factory, right.

I let go and drop to street level. I burst out in song in order to get the rest of the many DCs on the street to join me. I think I am going with “Dangerzone” off top gun, but no one seems to join in except a guy from behind me across the street and he just shouts Danger!

That won't hold up and I get a bit annoyed.

I ask to ladies walking by if they want to sing for me, but they refuse.

I think at this point the dream starts to fade and I command it to come back verbally. Things go blank and as the dream comes back it feels like I have one eye open in waking life and one in the dream world. I have felt like this before though and this time I decide to just ignore it.

I command the dream to stabilize and between that and ignoring the open eye syndrome (Coined!). I get the dream back on track. I run into a tanned guy wearing a yellow sports T-shirt with a sports bag over his shoulder.

I ask him to sing for me, but he only looks at me briefly before he turns sround, take on an arrogant attitude and tells me that he won't. Now I am getting angry so I grab hold of him place my hands on both sides of his face and looks him in the eyes. I briefly think of vampire compulsion, glamour or whatever you want to call it and start talking to him.

He stares blankly at me.

“God damn, this is my dream and I am sick and tired of getting refused”
He reples with an astounding empty stare.
“Now you will sing to me!”
He starts singing “Happy birthday to you...”
“Yeah yeah that will do” It is boring and not my birthday, but task accomplished.
“Why do you need me to sing for you?” he asks
“Don't worry about it, you have done your part thank you”
“You keep information tight, don't you”
“As I said, this is a dream, so once you have been integrated with my consciousness again you will understand”

Now to the chocolate factory. I immediately think about doors. I have to find a door and expect the chocolate factory to be on the other side. It is getting darker, but I find a door inside a building and try and will the chocolate factory on the other side.

When I open the door I expect a portal to be there, though I only find a white canvas. I try it out and try and walk through it. It is difficult in particular my head doesn't really seem to be willing to. After a couple of minutes of faffing around inside a door that isn't a door the dream starts fading.

I pull the move I tried out before and when I come back in the dream again things have changed slightly. The scenery is darker and I am not sure what is going on. I am pretty sure I am dreaming, but I am uncertain so I pull a hand RC. Sure enough.

I was trying to open a portal to the chocolate factory, right onwards. I spot something that looks like a hotel up the road. I walk to it and prepare for the door to be a portal.

Now unfortunately the front door is made of glass, so it will be difficult imagining anything but the hotel I can see through the glass door. So I decide to walk through it and find another door I can try with.

As I open it there is no portal behind it, but a small passage way and a mirror at the end.

A mirror, that is interesting. That could be used as a portal, but first I observe my self reflection flicker in the mirror. It isn't like anything is missing, but my reflection is there one moment and gone the next flicking on and off.

I decide to hop through it and having learned from the first experience I go through head first. I manage to get my entire body fully through and then I just hover there. I start falling a bit and I figure that will work, never done portals before I don't know what to expect.

I keep falling and eventually looking up I see a door, I reach up for the handle and try and pull myself through, however I wake up just as I get the door open.
…

I am with some superhero crew. We are gathering some black obsidian bars, that are to be transformed into a single adamantium bar. I proclaim to someone that it is stupid to try and do that since adamantium can't be altered. I wonder if Stark can do it seeing as it is him collecting.

Notes: Third night in a row with a lucid. The technique of awakening from a night of dreaming, trying to recollect them and then go back to sleep seems to work wonders. Though I didn't have many dreams to recollect this morning the Obsidian/adamantium dream was fresher in my mind, but I have spent much time with my niece while writing down the dream, so memories have faded a bit.

Stealing a flute and turning King Arthur into smithereens. (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Well, it has been over a month I did not write down dreams. I have been horribly busy and did not focus as much (this proves my delay in getting these ToTM done.)

This will change soon in the upcoming weeks, but let's go for the dream!

I was in a big room with a lot of people. I was giving a energy healing to a lady. I did not recognize the place where I was in, as it was a different place where I use to give my energy healings, so I realized I was dreaming. I checked my hands to make sure, the hands looked OK but I still knew I was dreaming. I finished the energy healing, just in case it was an astral being in need of a healing rather that just a Dream Character. When I was done, I took flight and flew through the window.

It was sunny and I was not in San Diego, but in a different country. I was going to project, but I recalled that I still did not get my ToTM done, so I went for it.

I started to look for a musical instrument. As I was walking, I saw sticks on the floor. I focused I could play them as if they were flutes, but I felt that it could be a poorly done ToTM, as I needed to find an actual instrument.

I saw a building that was my hight school. I decided to find the music room, I was sure I could find some instruments there. I was flying towards my school and felt that I could wake up, I did not feel anchored to the dream at all. The school was crowded, so I wanted to do it fast.

I entered the school and found a lot of random people. I was going to the second floor, hoping I would both remember where the class was (it has been 10 years since I was no there) As I was going to the second floor, I saw a kid with a flute. Perfect!!! I took the flute from his hands. While he started to complain, I played it. It sounded exactly like a poorly played flute. I gave the flute back to the DC and left school.

I knew it was time to go to Where the Wild Things Are. I was not exited at all about this task, but I needed to get it done to not break my eleven month streak.

I entered a building and saw some dream characters. I had no idea how to get to this place, so I asked for assistance. A dream character told me that if I entered "over there" I could get to it. He was pointing at a small wine refrigerator. I shrunk my self and started to walk inside the refrigerator, but I could not go further the wall. I complain it was not working. I was advised to push the wall so it could move.

I started to walk by the wall and I started to push it. After a few moments, it started to move until I saw a hole. I went to a room that was all brown. It was like a big maze. I figured if I flew through the maze, I would get to Where the Wild Thing are. I saw a portal at the end of the maze and felt a little bothered, as I could have opened one from the very beginning. I walk through it and I appeared in a place where there was a big black ape with a ring on its nose. I did not read this book so I had no idea what to do, their names or whatever.

I asked the Ape to be escorted to my palace. The Ape told me, "Your palace?" I agreed. The Ape was confused and I told him, "I am supposed to become your king." The Ape told me that I had to kill the actual king. I told him that was not an issue.

We arrived to the palace and I saw... King Arthur from the Merlin movie (WTF) He was in his kid's form, and he had his crown next to him, because his head was too small.







Merlin was not around, which I was happy, as fighting a Magician would be more of an issue. I opened my hand and created a blast. A purple ball with small lighting appeared and launched towards Arthur's. He disintegrated, including the Crown and the Throne. I told the Ape, "So, am I king, right?" He said yes, I was. A few weird monsters appeared from no where and said, "Hail the king!" I figured I succeeded the ToTM and I decided to get out of there.

I started to fly away from this place when suddenly, I woke up.

I've been taking a lot of breaks from Dreamviews lately and I decided to finally start my journal on here and get back into it! Since I have left I have suddenly had A LOT of luck in lucid dreaming and love it! I read the TOTM Earlier today and I decided to nap and give it a try!
Anyway here is my TOTM DJ:



It was nightime and the stars were illuminating the sky. Millions of little magical sparkles. I could hear cars in the distance. I look down and found I was standing on top of a skyscraper in a HUGE city. I was memorized by the beauty of the city. I always had loved cities. I looked down at a taxi driving across the busy road. Every time the Taxi hit a tiny bump the taxi grew in size. Suddenly I asked myself How I got to this roof and I realized I was dreaming! Everything sort of flickered. The lights all went off for a second and everything came back clearer then it was before. I was lucid! I was going to float down from the rooftop into the street but then I remembered the TOTM that I had just read earlier today! I remembered the play an instrument one but I couldnt remember the advanced task. I decided to stay on the city rooftop and play it while looking down at the beautiful city. I assumed a box would be on the roof with an instrument in it and when I looked around I saw one! I went over to examine it and wanted the instrument to be a flute. I opened the box and was surprised to find a trombone! I took it out and held it in my hand. It seemed really big. I put my mouth to the mouthpiece and thought about synesthesia which is the mixing of senses. I have a form of it where when I see objects move I hear a small sound, but there are many different forms of it. There's one form where when you hear sound you can see color. I decided I would try that in my dream. I blew the first note and a beautiful sound that I cant explain escaped. The city froze and a ripple of purple appeared in front of me. All of a sudden I was floating and moving slowly. I kept playing random beautiful notes and more and more colors rippled around me. I was close enough to the ground now I could see people staring up at me with a shocked expression on their faces. They stared at me in amazement. I smiled and waved at them. For a moment I even forgot I was dreaming. I was just focused on all the colors. I decided to land on the street and give the trombone to someone random. They smiled at me like they needed that trombone to survive. I sat down on a city bench and tried to remember what the advanced task was...I remembered it has something to do with a movie and....OH MY GOSH! Where the Wild things are! I was so excited I remembered the dream started fading away. But I managed to grasp onto it. Everything was little blurrier but I didn't mind as long I was still in the dream. How long had I been napping? Surely 20 minutes had passed maybe longer. The dream would end soon!



I hurried through the first door I saw and I came out in a forest. It was a lively forest with animals everywhere. I turned around and saw an owl staring down at me. I smiled at it. I had never seen the movie or even remembered the book so I had no idea what the story was about except a kid with a crown with buffalo-like friends. Suddenly I heard stomping in the forest and all the animals scattered. A HUGE wild thing came out of the bushes. It was bigger then I thought it would be! I looked up at it and touched it's finger. "I am in control of your species now." I said. It nodded and stared at me with wide green eyes. I told it to go get its friends when all of a sudden I woke up.

I was amazed that I actually completed the tasks the day that I read about them! The dream felt really unreal and I would love to go back to that city again. Thanks Ninja for such a great TOTM! I am off to a GREAT start in coming back to DreamViews.

Guitar Task Of The Month (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

After a good long WBTB I attempted WILD and didn't do to bad but still lost consciousness right before I fell asleep.

I woke up and believed that I had failed my WILD attempt. I wondered if I should try again. For some reason I got up and walked out of my room. I realized that that was illogical so I did a reality check and became lucid. I was in the hallway so I walked into the family room. My mom and sister were watching the TV. I thought about how I should spend the dream. I saw the mirror and was tempted to walk through it in an attempt to teleport to my dream guides tower. I decided it would be better if I tried making an energy portal again so I can master teleportation once and for all. Then I remembered the basic task of the month which is to play a musical instrument. I planned on playing my electric guitar. I thought I should do that first because it was a task that I know I could complete.

I walked back down the hallway toward my room. I was amazed at how much it felt real even if the visuals weren't especially vivid. I could have sworn I was awake before I did a RC. I went into my room and picked up my guitar. It wasn't plugged in but I didn't really need the amp to complete the task. I played the Song of Time from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. One of the notes sounded wrong even though I played it right so I replayed it and it sounded great. Now that I had completed the task I thought I might have some more fun so I plugged in my amp and turned on distortion. I was curious if I could make the notes sound like what ever I wanted them to no mater were I pressed. I hit random frets and imagined a song as I went but it still sounded random. I grew bored and wanted to try teleportation again so I put the guitar down.

I didn't feel like going to the family room so I stayed in my room which has much less open space. First thing I needed to do was to accumulate the energy to make the portal out of. I held out my hands in front of me and imagined energy flowing through my body, out of my hands and into the space between my hands. I didn't see and aura like I did last time. I kept trying and I noticed that my hands were gradually getting fuzzy. The whole dream seemed to be going out of focus. I was to interested in watching the dream get all fuzzy and forgot to rub my hands before it was to late.

Jupiter's great red spot... beware of the Shitties if you go there... (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This broke my lucid dry spell. Its count was up to 10 days. I have been extremely busy these days where I did not even recorded dreams. I told my self I had to do the ToTM this month. I have a 10 month streak completing the ToTMs within the first 7 days, so I did not want to break it.

I had a different job, with a few days off in between. For some reason I could not be at home so I spent most of the day out. I decided to enter a bank and spend the day there, using their wifi with my laptop. I was in the lobby, next to the ATMs and some PO Boxes. A post office employee arrived to drop some mail. I felt I was on the way so I moved away. I realized that if I went there everyday, they would end up calling the cops thinking I was homeless or something, so I exited there.

I decided to go to a McDonalds. I met some people there, along with some girlfriend I had. We sat in front of each other and we had some talk. Suddenly, a train with milk and condiments passed behind me (inside the McDonalds) and dropped some milk on me. I got pretty pissed and complained about it. After some chat with the manager, he told me to sit in other place. I sat on a different table, and the manager sat on my old seat, next to my dream girlfriend. I texted with her a few times and also went by her and kissed her. The dream started to fade, but I wanted to travel to the future to see what was going to happen.

I was in a huge church. I remembered I wanted to search for that girl and find out what was going to happen. I met with some folks and her dad. I told him I was her boyfriend. The dad smiled and told me where she was

I suddenly turned lucid and realized I was dreaming, but I wanted to follow the plot. I saw my real wife sitting in a table, alone, and she said hi to me. I ignored her but then I went back next to her. She looked at her hand and wore no ring, she was shocked. I could feel my ring in my hand. I told her I was dreaming and I had some girlfriend, but no worries because it was just a dream and I loved her in real life. I kissed her and left.

While I explored this church, I recalled the ToTMs and how late I was this month. I started to fly and flew through a few windows, as usually, they shattered. It was very sunny and warm. I saw a huge sea, where I decided to dive into it. I needed to find some sunken treasure. I went down and down and it became darker, but I saw a wooden chest. I opened it and found a few golden bells. I shook them and they made some noise (Same noise as Polar Express ones) I found it funny and brought them back up into the surface.







As I was flying with the basic done, I started to fly at a very high speed, and told myself I was going to fly high up to the moon and beyond. I realized that I needed to go to Jupiter and realized it was going to be quite a trip. I saw a heavy storm and I flew to it, again, at a very high speed. I landed where the storm was and realized that I could teleport from storm to storm. I felt the wind and could hear the lightnings. Suddenly a rough voice (the storm's voice) told me what I was doing. I demanded the storm to teleport me to the Jupiter's storm, on the great red spot. The storm asked me if I was sure, I said yes.

My body lifted and I started moving at light-speed. A few seconds later, I could see Jupiter and how I was approaching to the red spot.







I was excited in seeing Jupiter for the first time. I suddenly landed abruptly and I was there.

The ground was intensely red. I could see the clouds. They were red, gray and black. The wind moved super fast, I felt a few times how the wind hit me in the face and body. However, the wind never lifted me. I could hear a lot of lightnings, happening like every 1-2 seconds.
I looked up into the sky, and all I saw was a huge mass of red and black clouds.

I tasted the storm. It had a watery taste, but it was sour and salty. I also could feel the smell of sulfur and rotten water. I felt the water very strong on my face and hands. The water was warm, but not too hot.

As I was done with the storm, I planned to go back to the previous plot, however, I saw beyond the storm an enormous city with a ton of lights. It looked extremely futuristic. In addition, it was crowded. I decided to explore the city instead and see how Jupiterians were.

The storm told me, "Do not go there, you will piss of the shitties!!!" I ignored the voice of the storm and flew over this town. As I was flying over it, I could see how this futuristic town vanished and saw instead small orange houses inside a red forest. I started to land and these houses looked like pumpkins. I landed and I could not hear any noise, until a Jupiterian appeared. They were like giang grasshoppers. They looked angry at me and became hostile. They were walking on two paws, the largest ones they jump with. The other two pair, were like arms.







I started to fly away from there while I could hear the storm saying, "You won't be able to scape now, the Shitties will eat you. You will not even be able to scape your dream body!" I felt that was a lot of nonsense so I started to fly away Jupiter, while the storm said, "The atmosphere in this planet is way far than yours. It is an extremely long flight to exit this planet, you will not be available."

I kept flying for a long while, until I tried to wake up myself, as I felt it was time to record the dream. I appeared in my bed, but it was extremely hard to open my eyes. I could sense the shitties fighting my eyes so they would keep closed. I saw a dark figure behind my bed, but ignored it. I felt it might have been my dream guide in Freddy Krueger form waiting for help. But I was fine on my own. I kept fighting to not fall back asleep until I woke up for real.

DELETED

I am in a snowy area. Quite soon I become lucid. There are people I know in front of me. There is also a pipe that leads into an underground world I discovered some weeks ago. I tell my little sister to go there (or then I pushed her). She goes and peeks in, but I say that she doesn't have to go there if she doesn't want. After a while we go in. Now there are three people with me: my little sister, a friend and a girl I don't know. I know that they don't know were in a dream. The place is frozen. There is snow and some crystal. A man drives towards us on a snowmobile. I tell the girl they shouldn't drive here. We continue to right, to the place where the man called Prince was in the previous dream where I visited the place. He's there this time also. The large room looks pretty much the same as last time. There is a concert of some kind arranged in the room. It's full of crowd. I join them. The Prince comes at me and kisses my hand. I go to my friend. Soon I leave the room and get above ground. I appear in our house. My parent's have had a baby and they are discussing about her name. Theres a door that used to be there some years ago. I try to open it but it's locked. I decide to go another way to the room but when I go past the kitchen, I see my parents sitting by the table. Somehow I realize I'm back in my childhood. I go to the stove. There's a pan with sauce boiling in it. "Oh, now he went to the pan". That's my mother. "He's touching it". They can't see, but my actions are somehow reflected to my baby form that I can't see. I leave the room and go back to the door. I look at my watch, though it doesn't tell me anything. I think the dream has already lasted about 45 minutes, but I don't feel like waking up. I think I went to the kitchen again and was there about 5-10 minutes. I come back to the door. I decide just to go through it and to the underground world. But when I try it, I bounce off the door. I close my eyes and walk straight towards the door and through it (that, by the way, is the perfect way to draw your attention off something, which makes it nonexistent).
I start falling. I open my eyes. A silhouette of a town starts taking shape (seen from the bird perspective). I decide to do the task of the month. Part one: find Santa and steal the gifts. I see Santa and the reindeer. I tie his sleigh with a lasso and start swinging it around. Finally I slam him on the ground and take the bag with the gifts in it. Now Grinch appears. He has huge, black claws. Also Santa come at me. The rest of the dream is pretty hazy, but I think I gave the bag to Grinch so I didn't get the task of the month done.

NON-DREAM NON-LUCID SEMI -LUCID LUCID

As you can see, I have finally decided as what to use the above scale as the measurement of my lucidity. I won't be changing this anytime soon. Also, I will only post in this DJ for ToTM & ToTY dreams (as this one is). I already maintain a dream journal in the student workbooks, I don't feel it necessary to copy between my memory, my physical DJ, my DVDJ, and my SWDJ. I will use my Student Workbook as my primary online dream journal until the Shared Dreaming class is over.

I was at school, walking around the quad. People started to form a crowd behind me, and I wasn't sure why at the moment. Soon, half of the people I knew were with my inside the shaded cafeteria. It was around 8:00, a fog was blowing away, and the air was crisp and tense. Soon afterward, another group of people stepped in front of us. They were leaded by one of my nerdy friends, B. He looked ready to hurt something. My team was in kinda light clothes, while his were wearing dark clothes. I yelled "GO!" and a member of my team charged at a member of the other team in a race around some coned track. My 'team' was losing. I thought 'I know I have to have a short IM with someone, but why?' Whatever. (This was for ToTM but I forgot about it until later before I woke up) I got on the computer, entered a school chatroom, and everyone was discussing the race. I typed in "Crap! We're losing!!!!" I looked at the screen for a while then closed the laptop. I noticed one of my teammates was sleeping. I shook him and said "Get up! You're next! We're gonna LOSE!" He mumbled and got up.
[Dream Skip - Next Day]
All I remember is that I sat down with a few friends to discuss the race. The dream started to fade out, and I woke up.

I was in the living room watching the television, it was a show about fat people and ways to lose weight. I watched it a bit more and I realized it was a Dr. Phil show, he was talking about the importance of exercise in losing weight, I was feeling particularly fat right then, but I didn't want to exercise… Dr. Phil kept talking about the various things that could happen to overweight people, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attacks, strokes… endless amounts of problems that can come from being overweight. I was thinking I really should get out and exercise, so maybe I would take a walk, I certainly didn't have the patience to listen to Dr. Phil any longer.

I went outside and started walking, the weather wasn't as hot as I had expected it to be, so I thought this walk might actually end up being a decent length one. The main road near my house is under heavy construction, so I didn't think it would be very pleasant to walk there right now, so I decided to look in other directions. I headed down a path I had never noticed before and I soon found the landscape changing around me, I was slowly leaving the desert landscape and entering a forest of trees. That seemed really odd… odd enough for me to do a RC, which revealed I was dreaming!

So now that I realized I was dreaming, I stopped to think of my goals for the night… at first I couldn't think of any of them, but I finally thought of the one from Mortal Mist where the goal was to explore a forest and note all of the details of the season long with the animals, weather, and other details. That would be a nice relaxing dream to have right now, so I thought I would do that. I walked through the trees, looking at the place and making note of all of the details I could, the trees were beautiful, the leaves were blowing in a gentle breeze, all of them were changing color to various shades of red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, and teal… um… blue, purple, and teal? Well, that didn't matter, this was a dream forest after all… I wondered if there are places where the leaves really do turn to shades of blue and purple, then I thought of course there are! I'm in one!

I continued walking through the forest, making note of and enjoying every detail I could take in, the feel of the cool breeze on my skin, the smell of the trees… it smelled like it might rain soon… I listened to the birds singing in the trees, the crunch of the fallen leaves on the ground as I walked through them, I caught glimpses of small animals running around in the trees, several squirrels, a couple of bunnies. One of the squirrels was quite brave, it ran right up in front of me to grab a fallen nut and then ran back to the trees and disappeared into its branches, I figured the squirrel was storing food for the winter. I saw more movement in the trees, and this time a fox emerged, cute! The fox was definitely brave, the fox came trotting right over to me and looked at me as if he expected me to pet him. Wait a minute… that fox could be none other than Pablo!

I sat down in the fallen leaves and stroked Pablo, the dream had become so vivid as I focused on every detail, the fox's fur was so silky and soft as I pet him. Pablo was a red tailed fox with a white chest, red fur on most of his body, dark brown feet, a long fluffy tail, most of the tail was red like the rest of Pablo, but the tip of the tail was pure white. What I noticed most that I couldn't get over was how soft the fur was, as soft as petting a cat, it was too soft to resist putting my arms around him and giving him a hug, burying my face in that soft fur. I saw movement near a tree and I looked, there was an animal I didn't recognize digging a hole in the ground near the base of the tree, I figured that would be a den, I wondered if that might harm the tree to dig right there… Pablo changed from an adult red tail fox to a fox cub so I could scoop him into my arms and continue walking, such a cute fox cub… I carried Pablo farther down the trail until I found a stream flowing across the path, the sound of the stream was so clear, the water was also clear, I could see some small fish swimming around in it. There were rocks positioned perfectly for crossing the stream, things were so clear that I could clearly see the difference between the dry rock and the wet rock that was being splashed by the stream.

I had to do a RC again, because I thought I would soon forget I was dreaming if I didn't remind myself, so I re-confirmed that I was dreaming before crossing the stream… and then the fox disappeared from my arms! I was momentarily alarmed, then I realized Pablo had probably just woken up, so I got down on my knees by the stream and splashed some of the cool water on my face, and it felt wonderful. I sat there for a bit longer, letting myself take in the details of the blue sky which I could see between the trees on either side of the stream, and there were some fluffy white clouds drifting across the sky… nothing looked like rain, I wondered why it smelled like rain… I got up and headed back into the forest, watching the birds flying around as if they were in a hurry to get something important done. I was walking down the path, getting close to forgetting it was a dream, when a huge shadow fell over the forest, a huge dark shadow. I also heard a loud "THWUMP… THWUMP…" sound from overhead and felt a rush of strong wind blowing down from above. This wind felt a bit chilly, and many of the colorful leaves that had been hanging on to the trees now fell off and blew around in the hurricane type winds. I looked up just in time to see a huge winged creature fly overhead, creating the wind as it flapped its massive wings.

The animal had flown farther along the path, so I followed the path faster, I really wanted to see what that thing had been. I knew it was a dream, so I had no fear that I would be in danger from it. I finally exited the thick part of the forest into a large clearing, a meadow, and I spotted several deer running past me and disappearing into the shelter of the forest. Whatever that thing was, the animals were scared of it, and maybe with good reason. I looked up and I could hardly believe my eyes… it was a dragon! A huge dragon, it flew over the meadow, swooped around in a large arc, and then returned to the meadow. It flapped its massive wings to slow down and land, the force of the wind almost knocked me over, and finally it landed and roared a deafening sound. Wow! The dream was so vivid and now I was meeting a dragon! Awesome! I had barely found a bit of voice to my awe, "Wow… you are absolutely AWESOME!" I said to the dragon, "Absolutely AMAZING!" I stood there taking in the details of the dragon, his size… he was huge… his scales, they were of various colors of greens and browns, but all of them glistened in the sunlight like gems… he had claws like spears on each of his limbs, teeth, huge white teeth, and his wings! He really could make a hurricane with those wings! I was sure of it!

So now I was facing this huge dragon, I had no idea what its intentions might be, but I felt like I was losing the dream, like I was going to wake up. No way! There was no way I was going to let myself wake up now that I was face to face with this amazing creature! Refusing to lose the dream, I focused on Allura's method of time dilation, and by doing this I managed to stabilize the dream, which I will continue in the next post.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I finally decided that just outside the biodome, on the moon itself, would be a good place for a storm, so that's where I headed…

So I carried Pablo a bit farther through the biodome and then I leaned over and set him down. He gave me a look that said he really didn't want me to leave him behind, so I told him where I was going and what I was going to do, and if he wanted to come watch the show, that was fine with me. He jumped back into my arms, so I took that as an obvious 'yes' to going with me. I opened a portal and went through it to the surface of the moon. I didn't see anything around, just the gray surface of the moon, and the earth was hanging in the sky like a very colorful moon. I set Pablo down on the moon surface and decided to get busy with the thunder storm.

So now I focused on the song Battery. That summoned a bolt of lightning from the sky. Since there weren't multiple targets, however, there was only one large bolt of lightning. One bolt of lightning does not a thunder storm make… So I focused on Battery again, this time I focused on going through the entire song which is something I haven't had to do for a long time… I no longer need the song to do a bolt of lightning. So as the song played through, the moonscape was filled with many bolts of lightning. The sky was lit up with all of the electrical flashes. I know that in space there would not actually be any sound, but I could hear the thunder roll across the landscape. The thunder started rolling across the landscape in time to the music, it made quite an interesting light show in my opinion. And there was a red fox beside me watching the whole thing.

After the song ended, the lightning faded away and clouds that had somehow formed over the moon also dispersed into the nothingness of space. I stood there looking into the sky, gazing into the stars that seemed to go on forever, and I took a deep breath of the non-air of the non-atmosphere of the moon… The fox beside me decided he'd had enough of being ignored and he jumped back into my arms. I stood there and stroked the fox for a bit longer, then I felt the dream slipping away… time for a time dilation. I used Allura's form of time dilation and stabilized the dream. I had said something about checking back on MoSh to see if he wanted to go on an adventure, but I figured I could accomplished another task of the month for Mortal Mist in the process. I would go through a mirror to get back to the biodome!

To be continued…

I became lucid twice but woke up immediately

I'm travelling somewhere by elephant. Then we're walking on some narrow pathways. We're at the cave churches in Cairo and I'm giving a tour. G was there.

Late morning nap:

I went to have a nap with the intention of trying to WILD. I lay still for more than an hour - no SP . Eventually I just went to sleep. I dreamt that I heard my wife coming home with the kids from school. My daughter came into the room to wake me for lunch. I pretended to sleep and she was pinching my face and stuff. I woke up for real. I did the FILD technique and literally felt something happen in my mouth when I transitioned. I slowly did a nose RC with my dream eyes closed and I could breathe I lay still for awhile trying to calm down. Eventually I slid out of bed there was a moment when I almost lost it cause I could feel my real legs. I remembered the TOTM and immediately went over to the dresser and started looking for colorful objects. I picked up a small bottle with it's lid painted red (I think it was a lip stick bottle) and two female deodorant cans one with a blue lid and one with a yellow lid. I was super happy but when I looked at my objects the yellow lid had turned to green and I panicked. I rummaged through all the items on the dresser and found a glass bowl with a yellow glass lid that was slightly transparent. Happy with that I headed over to the window to either teleport or just go outside, I was planning to find some unicorns. As I approached the window I started loosing the dream. I spun around slowly and felt the wooden cupboard door. It helped and I decided not to go outside but to go and see what my family DCs were up to as I got to my bedroom door I woke up.

I exited the portal right next to the koi pond, which was where I had expected to emerge, I looked around and saw I was alone. There was no one waiting there right now. Maybe I should wait around for a bit? I felt the dream slipping… I was going to wake up… but there was so much left to do. I also wanted to see how long I could make this dream. I focused on Allura's method of time dilation, and the slipping dream stabilized.

I looked around the koi pond again, everything looked more vivid now. I was by the koi pond, and I didn't see any sign of anyone else there with me. I remembered that Blake was going to meet me there, but I didn't see him, and wasn't I going to meet someone else here? Was it Yuri? I didn't think so due to our inverted sleep schedules, I know time isn't linear, but somehow the idea of dreaming with someone who won't have their dream about me until after I had already posted my part of the dream seemed like asking for a paradox… So who was it? Miss Maya from Mortal Mist? That sounded possible, but I didn't remember making any actual plans to meet, my intention had been to read some more of her dream journal to find out more about her inner world and her dreams, but I have been so busy with my job and homework and school and journaling and… and… There was a lot to do! What was I doing hanging around here? I had to get going!

Next I wanted to complete the task of the month, which is to ride a unicorn. Stardust is a winged unicorn, so there would be no problem there, and it would be fun! I opened a portal to my inner world, focusing on getting to wherever Stardust happened to be, then I went through into a wide grassy meadow. There was a nice breeze blowing across the tall grass, and Stardust was grazing in the meadow with her wings folded neatly back, the feathers on her wings glistened in the sun, her pure white coat was contrasted by her flaming mane and tail which were literally made of fire, her single horn reflected in many colors and looked razor sharp on the tip. Such a beautiful animal… After briefly admiring her, I walked over to Stardust, she greeted me with a friendly nuzzle, then a bit of a nip, I got the idea she was annoyed at me for not visiting more often. I climbed onto her back and we took to the skies!

Riding on the back of a winged unicorn, or I guess Stardust is a pegasus and a unicorn combined, was a wonderful sensation. Even though her mane looked like flame, it didn't burn me as I leaned forward and held onto Stardust's neck as we flew through the sky, watching the landscape of my dream world below me, the fields, the forests, a town that looked like a pleasant neighborhood… I could see my own house down there, it doesn't look like my waking life house, but somehow I still recognized it. I had just flown by when I realized there was someone outside of my house… I urged Stardust to circle back and I got back just in time to see Walms disappear into the house. Was he looking for me? Good timing, I just happened to be here! I landed in front of the house and dismounted, patting Stardust on her muzzle before I approached the house. I opened the front door of the house, nothing in here is locked since the shield keeps the undesirables out, and I looked around the living room. No sign of Walms. I looked through the house, it isn't very large, so that didn't take me long, but no sign of Walms. Damn… he must have woken up. I could wait for him to come back, but I wasn't sure he would come back, so I thought maybe I had better move on to my next goal.

So now I wanted to share either a DDO dream or an Oblivion dream with Tigress, the main idea is for both of us to remember the dream. So I focused on locating Tigress with my next portal, from there we could go to a DDO dream or an Oblivion dream, or maybe she would already be involved in something cool and I could join in. I focused for a bit and finally the portal opened, I went through it…

And I exited in a desert, it looked like the southwestern area of Arizona, somewhere in the Sonoran desert definitely. Since Tigress lives near me IWL, and I live in the desert, this didn't surprise me, it was just that Tigress was having a dream in the desert. I looked around to see if I could find Tigress anywhere, but I didn't see anyone at first, so I started walking around until I finally spotted someone. There was an aged Indian shaman here wearing a hat and looking at me with a very intense gaze, I wondered who that was and why he was here while Tigress didn't seem to be. Since the man seemed so focused on me, I walked over towards him… I recognized his energy. Somehow, instead of ending up in Tigress' dream, I had ended up locating don Juan…
