Vex Kitten's Lucid Romps

[Caradon]

great dream! I would love to let a machine like that rip me apart.  Sounds like you have been watching the "Saw" movies.

I was just thinking about sound in dreams. Because I was having a dream that I could hear rain pouring  down outside. And when I looked out the window it was. the sound was very realistic.

Nice job on all the teleporting, and recognizing the dreamsign. That would be cool to see so many different colored leaves.

Hey, Vexxie - that is an awesome and beautiful dream you had there on the 12th.

Would you consider letting us feature it for the next month?

[Vex Kitten]

Moonbeam: To wake myself never occured. I'm glad it didn't occur though. The machine was like some sort of test I think. If I didn't escape I think my lucidity would have suffered greatly. I think it was a wake up call, a reminder that I could lose it if I don't use it.

Dr. Technical: Thanks. I think I stayed with it more out of subborness than anything else. Glad I stayed with it too. I don't recall being able to teleport that easily before. Maybe that was a reward for escaping the machine?

Caradon: You're nuts! You want to be ripped apart in dream? Haha. Well, I hope you get your wish and I hope to read about it sometime soon. Music, like your rain, is the thing that usually sneaks into my dreams. Has that ever happened to you? A few times I burst out singing and sounded just like the singer that was seeping into my dreams. Oh, and the leaves were very cool.

PJ: Sure you can use the dream. Glad it could be of service.

Done.

And thank you!

The end of your last lucid sounds amazing. "Dreamspinning" Also, the falling sounds fun/

[Caradon]

Lol, I always like to face the most dangerous situations I can find.

Oh, you misunderstood about the rain. That all happened in the dream, I was sleeping with earplugs.
But yeah, I've had sound seep into my dreams before too. One time I was having this crazy "Star Wars" action dream, with the music and all.
I was living in an apartment at the time. when I woke up I found out that the people next door were watching "Star Wars," And they had the sound cranked up really loud, causing me to dream about it.

Congrats on having the Lucid of the month! 

[Vex Kitten]

Xox: Freefalling is amazing, almost as great as flying. You have to try it if you haven't.

Caradon: Haha. You like danger you can have my lucid dream straighjacket machine and let it do what it will to you. It's my xmas gift to you. Have fun. 
& Thanks.

Just a note that I had a lucid dream but I can't remember what happened in it. All I can call back is a fragment of being lucid and face to face with something that startled me enough to wake me up.

[Moonbeam]

Wow, that must have been pretty scary, to wake you up!  Maybe not scary?  Maybe something else.

[Vex Kitten]

It was something that scared me. I haven't awakened in that condition in a very long time. I woke up, rolled out of bed and looked around like something was about to pounce me. Felt like a little kid for a moment or two and then laughed at myself. I sat down and tried to recall the dream but couldn't. Still can't remember it.

Return of the Impossible Shapes

I am sketching random patterns in a book. Don't know where I am but there is a lot of  noise. One of the noises reminds me of a  dream I'd had. In it I saw impossible shapes that almost terrified me because they were illogical or something. There were two shapes. I let my hand draw whatever it will hoping that it will autodraw something resembling the shapes.

I can't begin imagine or draw the shapes and this makes me think harder about other dreams I might have had with such impossiblities in them. I suddenly wonder if I'm dreaming right now. Instead of putting my finger through my palm I use my pencil. I slowly twist it into my left palm. It pushes painlessly through but I refuse to believe I'm dreaming until the pencil skewers my hand. When it does I am overjoyed that I am dreaming.

I want to see the shapes again. In the midst of all the hustle bustle of the dream I stand. I look up and try to will the impossible shapes into existence. No matter how hard I try I can't. For that to happen I have to be able to image them in my mind and I can't seem to do that.

Doors. I remember that sometimes one can simply open a door and find whatever they want behind it. I decide to try this with the shapes. There is a closet in the distance, one with ornate lattice-work on it. I stare at the door and imagine that the shapes will emerge from it. It was from my bedroom closet in my previous dream that the shapes had come. I know this will work.

Beams of brilliant white light spill out from the openings in the lattice. The shapes are in there. All I have to do is walk over and invite them into the dream. I make my way through a mass of frantically busy people (all of whom don't notice the light) to the closet. When I place my hand on the doorknob a pang of fear rattles me. I suspect they are from a different dimention. I wonder if they have been to the 11th and back. I remember that I felt as if I were going crazy in the previous shapes dream because my mind could not wrap around the possibility of such odd formations.  Would it happen again? Could I go insane if I stare at them for too long? I have a feeling that this is a possibility.

I don't remember anything after this, which really annoys me to the point of frustration at times.

*** forgot to mention that I've been sick for the last few days, which probably factors in to me having a couple of LDs in a couple of days.


The Orchard and the Brothers

Me and some others are at a recital. It has many children dressed up like kittens and singing songs, dancing. The crowd slowly thins out and I wonder why. I think the show is pretty damn good considering it's a bunch of kids.

I look to the door. Someone slips out with the rest of the crowd. I suspect it is someone I hate so I decide to follow. We have some unfinished business. I follow the guy at a distance. He meets up with someone else and together they go into a large yard that is entirely surrounded by a massive white wooden fence. I can not find a way in and I stand there dejected for a few moments before it dawns on me that I'm dreaming.

I have something in my hand, an umbrella or a walking stick or a cane, something of that sort. I flip it upside down and place my foot in the hooked end of the object. With a simple tweak of the will I begin to rise into the air. The ride is not smooth. Every few seconds I have to reassert my intention or else I begin to drift toward the ground again.

I slowly rise up and over the fence. On the inside is a vast orchard. All of the trees look dead though, the ground is dry and dusty. It's odd to see such an expanse of dead in the midst of a city full of life. I just stare at the odd scene for a few moments, the rows of blackened skeletal trees really impressing on me.

AFter a bit I see the guys I am looking for. They lay on the ground side by side as if staring at the clouds. They see me as I drift into view. They point and yell but I can't hear what they say. I gently land in the midst of the two and immediately kick the one guy, (the one I hate) in the face. He rolls onto his side and yelps. I tell the other guy to get lost. He shouldn't be hanging out with such a sack of bastard. The other guy refuses to leave though. HE claims the hated guy is his brother and he will not leave.

I say, "Fine then, stay. But I will kill you if you get im my way. Got it?"

The brother nods and backs away.

I set to work beating the hell out of the other guy. And I do it with such ferocity and remorselessless that to think about it now it kind of scares me. I will not go into details but at the end of it all the guy was nothing but a twitching, broken pile of mess. It wasn't even apparent that he was human anymore.

My rage depleted, I turn to the brother. He is weeping hysterically. I know he wants to attack me but he is afraid. He starts screaming, YOU KILLED MY BROTHER! over and over. I feel bad for the guy. I can imagine myself in his shoes, how I'd feel if someone did something so savage to one of my siblings. After a few moments I can not bear the brother's screams anymore.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" I yell over him as I move back toward the barely living heap of flesh on the ground. I pick it up by a piece of cloth and by the time I raise it up to my shoulder's length the heap of flesh has become a whole and completely fresh looking man again. I let the guy go and he scrambles back from me. The brothers reunite and simply stare at me as if they are on the verge of losing it.

"It's just a dream." I inform them both. "I can kill. I can ressurect. It's just a dream. Now get out of my sight before I get pissed off again."

The brothers flee. I feel very odd about the whole situation. For a while I roam around in the dead orchard trying to figure out what that feeling inside of me is. When I come upon the cane/umbrella/walkingstick thingy again I set it up and step into the hook again. I rise up into the air and I refuse to look down. When I am up high enough I toss the can/umbrella/walkingstick thing from my. I let myself fall. I still refuse to look down as I fall. I stare straight ahead. I know that I can fall forever if I just don't look down. I want to fall forever.

I didn't though. I don't remember anything after this.

[Moonbeam]

I remember that I felt as if I were going crazy in the previous shapes dream because my mind could not wrap around the possibility of such odd formations.  Would it happen again? Could I go insane if I stare at them for too long? I have a feeling that this is a possibility. [/b]

I've had that feeling too--that something in the dream is going to drive me completely insane, or maybe that I've already gone insane and will be that way when I wake up.  That's one of the scarier things that can happen in dreams.

YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!

You dirty rat, you killed his brother!   What old movie am I thinking of...Jimmy Cagney?....

I know that I can fall forever if I just don't look down. I want to fall forever.

I didn't though. I don't remember anything after this.

  Maybe you did...

[Vex Kitten]

LOL @ you dirty rat. I don't recall the name of that movie, sadly.

The 'wake up insane' thing is what got to me in that dream as well. I didn't want to go completely nuts in dream only to wake up in that same state of mind. Though... I wonder if we'd realized we were crazy if we woke up that way? Maybe we're both stark raving mad right now and don't realize it???!! Maybe we're both holed up in the same mental institution and ticking messages back and forth to each other through the walls of our respective cells?
 

[Moonbeam]

Vex...don't look now...but your face just went sideways.

[Budster]

... yay violence? o_o
