Sounds like you were assimilated by the Borg to me!

Roller blading, your dog, your cabin, smoking...sounds like you were getting all kinds of signals to RC...

And even better, if they were Dream Views Forum designed!

You know that idea has gone around before (T-shirts, bumperstickers, etc.)--but I don't think anyone said it exactly that way--that's great, a classic bumper sticker!

We should do that.

P.S. I dont' know about the DV part tho, since this is owned by somebody now.

A lady I work with, has a friend that had just crossed it and it fell behind her.

I haven't really heard much about it for a while. I don't watch regular TV to much. Only DVDs. But yeah, I heard there were bridges all over the country that are being looked at now.

its scary when you are there just before something happens, I bet the lady you work with has a phobia of bridges now! dam thats scary about your sister....I bet she was a little freaked by it

I remember the 7/7 bombing in london I was meant to go for a job interview that day but It got rearranged at the last minute.

hey thanks man

But after I've been asleep a while I don't have a problem with waking up and falling back to sleep. At least most of the time that is.

insomnia eh? lol I wouldnt want to mess with that its well bad! I know the feelling when your mind races I hate that so much!


oh and your dream about the office that must have been class to work ith a multi personality wonder what its like!

Yeah, I guess that was kind of like the borg. But it didn't have that kind of feeling to it.

Pretty scary you were almost in that bombing Mark! Glad you were not!

Hmm, probably right about the DV shirts and bumper stickers. Wouldn't be a bad way For Asher to make some extra cash though. And promote the web site, and Lucid Dreaming. unless nobody bought them I guess. I would
though. Blue and white shirt with the mountains could be kind of nice. probably wouldn't be to hard either, for someone who knows how to do it.

Slightly longer WILD
I wasn't really even trying to WILD. I had less than three hours before having to get up for work, and I was just trying to force myself to fall asleep as fast as possible.

I enter a work dream scene, with partial Lucidity. There are three old fashioned revolver pistols laying out in my work area. I'm thinking that it isn't a good idea to leave those guns laying out. But I remember it's a dream and it does not matter. as I watch, a coworker comes by and picks up one of the guns. He is messing around with it, then looks at me and tells me that he isn't going to give it back to me. I tell him that I don't care what he does with it, because it's just a dream gun. then I slide back awake.

Partial Lucidity
Then I have some skiing dream. don't remember a lot about it. But, at some point I am on the side of a road, at the bottom of a steep hill. I don't remember why, but I start sliding up the hill on my rear end. I come to a cross road, and I hop into the air to jump the road. I'm afraid I will come a little short, and painfully hit my ass on the curb on the other side of the road. I will myself to make it across, and I am aware I was able to do so because it was a dream. And I remember telling somebody about how I was able to do that because I was dreaming.

A past Star Trek Wild
I thought I would share this because of Mark's journal.

After watching a voyager DVD, I lay down for a nap. I was just laying there looking at the blackness. Not letting any thought at all enter my mind. The blackness becomes some kind of sheet, or barrier of some kind. And it begins to stretch like I am pushing through it. the blackness is almost rubbery. It stretches tighter and tighter, until I kind of pop through it. I then land on my feet Fully Lucid, on the bridge of the star ship Voyager! I stood there just stunned in wonder. every thing looked exactly like it does on the show. The officers were rushing around doing their thing. I just looked around in amazement for a moment before waking up again.

That would have been cool, If I could have introduced myself as the Q.

I had a scary dream about the Q this summer at the cabin. I never got around to writing it down. He had complete control of my dream world. And he was terrorizing a group of us. Not only did he have Complete control of the dream. But he could also read my mind. So he knew exactly what I was going to do before I could do it.
but in the end, he turned out to be not such a bad guy. And was just trying to bring out the best in us in a twisted kind of way. sort of like the way he was in the show.

Yeah, bumper stickers would be great!

Your right about the signals, I feel like I've been in a dry spell because of focusing so hard and not getting to far. but getting closer I think. It always happens like that with me. It will feel like it's impossible to get Lucid. but once I get enough energy built up for it. I'll get a bunch of them all of a sudden.

It would be nice, if another monster would chase me down and throw me into the sky again. It would help if I actually sleep sometime maybe. lol
I haven't slept much more than 8 hours total in the last two days. And that's just in a series of short naps. I plan to sleep in and get some REM rebound tonight.

man I wish I was as good as you at the wilds!

love the star trek dream! it must have been great to be lucid on the bridge! and man it would have been great to introduce yourself as Q lol

I'm just laughing at that! I kind of forgot about the Q.

To bad I can't turn those WILD's into true Lucids! I've been thinking, maybe if I change my attitude towards them, And give them more significance. Maybe with a bit of motivated work I could possibly get better at prolonging them. It's worth a shot anyway. A good goal for next year.

That star trek wild was interesting. it was weird how I stretched through the blackness that way. That's something that never happened before.

Yeah, I loved episodes with the Q. And that was a pretty freaky dream. Freddie could take a few lessons from the Q!

I've read some of the new badges thread, pretty cool idea! Makes me wish I knew more about computers. This is my first computer and I haven't had it that long. Or really tried doing much with it.

A lot of recall but nothing really exciting to write about. There was one about being held prisoner by some psycho family. But I don't remember it well enough to write in good detail.

New apartment
Nearly Lucid in this one.

Was moving into this awsome new apartment. It had many rooms, it was huge.
I spent a lot of time exploring the place. It was actually a pretty cool dream.(Not sure why I always dream about moving into new places. It definitely has some symbolic meaning. I'm starting to think it has something to do with a change in my state of mind. And the tunnel in the ceiling I always find, that leads to adventures.)

In one of the rooms, there is a closet. In the ceiling of the closet, I see there is a square cover to an opening. Right away, I recognize it as being from a recurring dream. I am excited about climbing up there and seeing where it leads. And I tell myself, that when I
climb up there I will do a reality check. because I know the place from a dream. I didn't climb up there right then because there was stuff going on. and I was going to wait for a better time to explore it.(Not sure why I didn't just do a reality check right then. It's not like it takes any effort to reach up and plug your nose.)

I never got around to going up there. because I woke up before I got the chance.

There was a lot of smoking dreams! Not sure why that's been coming up so much lately

Todays WILD attempt
I decided to focus on hearing before the visual.

At first, I here my sister ask me if I took her bicycle.
Then I hear a dog barking outside to come in. I open my eyes to see if there really is a dog. I get up and look outside. a family members dog is out there and wants to come in. I think it's strange, I hear a dog in my mind, and then there really is one. Then I wake up! I opened my eyes into a dream! That never happened to me before. I think I remember Clairity talking about doing that though.

There was a few other ones, but that one was the most interesting.
I tried a couple early morning ones but fell asleep to fast. the one from above was during nap time.

Cool. And during a nap too!

So close to becoming lucid in both of those dreams you posted! I hate it when I'm so close and I just cant grasp it.

Yeah, that happens to me a lot! but it's better than not being close lol.

If I read you right that sometimes happens when I WILD.

A Lucid Dream!
Monday/November/5/2007
Lucid Dream # 48 of 2007
Animal attack dreamsign noticed!
Reality check induced Lucidity!

I'm up at the cabin, and taking the dog for a walk. We are walking along the road, and there are a bunch of cows in a field along the road. Dog starts barking at the cows, and running toward the fence. I notice that one of the cows is actually a huge black bull. It begins charging down a hill toward us. I'm not to worried because there is a barbed wire fence between us, and I figure the bull will stop at the fence. But the bull charges into the fence at top speed. The fence stretches outward, and the barbed wire gets pulled down a little. The bull kind of pops over the top of the wire and is free!(you can imagine whats going through my mind at that moment. I'm pretty much screwed!)

The Bull comes charging into the the road, I'm standing in the middle of it. The bull stops just a few feet in front of me. Head lowered, very mean angry look in it's eyes.
I know running is futile, so I raise my arms in the air and try to look as scary as I can.
I then start screaming at it, hoping I will scare it into running away. The bull backs up a step, but I can tell it's not convinced. I know it's about to attack me at any second. And I think, wait until I write in my journal that I got Attacked by a bull for real this time. But, I decide I should do a reality check. I pinch my nose and I can breath!
OK, I'm dreaming! I don't get to startled from being able to breath. As you can guess, I was hoping I would be able to. I'm not really afraid anymore, but a little tense. I still have to deal with this bull somehow. And the bull is quite intimidating looking. I decide to try what I wanted to do the next time I got Lucid during a bear attack. I looked the bull in the eye and said, "I love you! Why do you want to hurt me so bad?"

(You won't believe what happens next!) There is cow on the other side of the fence. It heard what I said to the bull, and the cows head and neck stretches across the distance. So that it's face is right before my own. It has long feminine eye lashes and is wearing bright red lipstick. And it begins mimicking me! (This is very cartoon like.) It turns it's head from side to side, and repeats "I love you why do you want to hurt me so bad?" And it says it in a really teasing kind of voice. It repeats it twice more, then the cows face shrinks back, and becomes just an ordinary cow grazing in the field .. I'm so surprised and caught off my guard, That I just shake my head and laugh at how strange that was.

Meanwhile, the bull is still standing there. I repeat to the bull,"Why do you want to hurt me so bad?" Instantly the bull shrinks, and transforms into an ordinary looking man. The man shrugs his shoulders and walks away.

Now, relieved and proud of how I handled that. I begin walking down the road. remembering the problems I've had with waking up from Lucids lately, I start to kind of panic because I don't want to wake up yet. I look around trying to decide what to do, to stay in the dream. I decide to spin, But the spin actually makes me wake up. I wake up in mid spin!

I'm very proud of this Lucid. For both the way in which I became Lucid. And how I was able to handle the situation.

Sort of Lucid
I was having a crazy dream about space ships and aliens. Must have gotten it from thinking about the star trek stuff. The dream shifts so that I'm no longer in it, but watching it on TV. And smoking again! I'm watching some strange stuff about the earth turning into some fantasy world. And there are all sorts of weird creatures in the show.

I then decide it's time to go to sleep, so I turn off the TV. I walk outside to get the mail first. But, it's so windy I can't make it to the mail box. I actually get picked up and carried into the air by the wind. Instantly I realize I must be dreaming, because this is my best dreamsign. But, I'm confused and unsure, because I was just planning to go to sleep. And I had not laid down to go to sleep yet. The wind starts to carry me higher into the air. And I'm thinking that if this isn't a dream I could get hurt. I'm still contemplating the situation when I wake up.

I'll post more dreams later tonight. And I still have nap time.

Yeah, that was pretty fascinating. it took me by surprise when I woke up for real.

Yeah, when I opened my eyes after hearing the dog bark in my mind, I was actually in a dream.

I thought I remembered you saying, that when you feel a shift you open your eyes and get up or roll out. and your in a dream.

That is a great lucid man! I have read about doing that in dreams but I have always wonderred to the effect lol and dam what an effect that was ha ha I would have laughed so much at the cow.


oh and on a side note lol another bull dream love it mate!

LMFAO!
Caradon, that was PRICELESS! I think that was by far the best dream I have ever read!

Those animal attacks are coming in handy! A very funny and inspiring dream!

Yeah, telling dream enemies you love them does have interesting effects. well... it has interesting effects in any situation.

And in real life up at the cabin there are cows in just about every field. And just down the road a little ways is a long horn ranch. Every time I walk the dog by there, they stare at me with a really mean looking glare! I often wondered what would happen, if one charged into the fence to get me.
So no surprise that I run into them while dreaming of walking the dog up there.

They always say that if a bear comes near you, you should raise your arms like that and try to scare them away. I really didn't know what else to do. Besides a reality check! That turned out to be the best thing to do.

And thanks for the compliment!

Yeah, hopefully I can remember to do reality checks more often when animals attack! And hopefully, if it becomes a good dreamsign it does not stop happening! Like it did with my falling elevator dreams.

And I finally got to talk to a dream animal!

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Didn't end up taking a nap today. I slept in to long so I wasn't very tired. Sleeping in turned out to be worth it, because my Lucid was on the last dream I had.

Rafting
I had a small rubber raft, and was on a lake with it. I had two short canoe paddles, one for each hand. I was sitting on my knees and paddling on each side of the raft. It worked so well, I was able to fly across the water at speed. I spent the whole dream racing around the lake with my little rubber raft. I was as fast as the motorized boats.
It was really fun. Every now and then, I would let myself coast. then I would lean to the side and go spinning out of control. I was a little worried about the raft popping and sinking into the lake. But I didn't let it ruin my fun. Thats all I did until I woke up.

ha ha sounds fun mate! I love things like that, I used to do it alot when I was younger
