[Tunnels of Madness]

02/16/12

Note:  I have not posted any dreams for quite a while… and that is because I haven't had any recall at all for quite a while.  It has been getting very frustrating, and I really hope my recall improves soon.  Combined with not having any recall, I have also been busy with homework from school and a new job.  That's why my resolution to post something every day has gotten pushed aside.  Well, I have finally been able to recall a dream.  It's not much, but right now I am willing to take anything I can get!

Tunnels of Madness
I am in what appears to be an underground tunnel of some kind.  The tunnel is perfectly circular and is made out of a metallic substance.  There is a band of light going down the tunnel, four of them.  One of the lights is directly overhead, I am standing on a second, and there are lights to the right and left of me.  The tunnel looks very strange, and I can't remember how I got to be here.  Somehow this doesn't trigger a reality check, though.  I walk down the tunnel, which seems to go on forever.  Sometimes it curves to the left or right, and it does so often enough that I become really disoriented.  I am wondering if the tunnel is ever going to end.  The quality of the lighting changes… it is now flashing, now it looks like little balls of light are zooming down the sides of the tunnel.  That is even more disorienting, they are going in such a pattern that makes it seem like the tunnel is spinning.  That makes me feel like I might vomit.  Instead, however, I wake up. 

[Kidnapped!]

01/24/12

NOTE: Yesterday was the first day I failed to post something even if it was to say I didn't recall anything. Well, I didn't recall anything. School homework took priority and then I forgot. But today is different, I have 2 dreams to post!

Kidnapped!
I am with a couple other people I don't recognize and we have all been kidnapped. There are several big guys there guarding us. I am looking for a way out, waiting for an opportunity to present itself. I don't have to wait very long. I see a chain on the ground near me. It looks heavy, but when I pick it up I find I can handle it quite easily. One of the guards sees me and asks what I intend to do with that. He laughs at me, clearly not seeing me as a threat. I throw the chain at him and somehow manage to loop it around him like a lasso. He barely gets out a, "What the fuck?!" before I loop it around him again. That is everyone's cue to act. I manage to secure the one guard to a tree by the chain, he is letting out a stream of expletives like I've never heard. One of the people with me, a young man, grabs a hang glider that was beside the goons' tent. He jumps off the cliff and flies a bit then circles back and crashes into two kidnappers. I think that looked like fun... so I go to the hang glider. Unfortunately it is too badly damaged for me to take a flight on it. Damn. All I can do is wait for the authorities with the other people and the bound/unconscious goons.

Midnight Sun
I am at school, my class just ended so I am ready to go home. I leave the school and have a bit of trouble finding where I parked. I wander around for a bit in the dark feeling a bit dumb, but I finally find the car. I get in and leave. The freeway home is weird. It has changed dramatically since I came this morning! It is so much wider, and there are bright lights all around. The lights make it as bright as daytime! I think I don't need headlights, I need sunglasses!  I am curious about what changed. I turn down an exit I don't remember seeing before. I follow the road for a while as it twists and turns. I find a dead end. My car chooses right now to die on me. I get out and see all four tires are flat. Wtf?! I see a building, I'll go there and call for help. I slid down an embankment. I notice the ground is so very dry and cracked and hard. Like a scorched desert much hotter and drier than where I live. I am approaching the door when it opens. A woman steps out. I am overcome by a feeling of dread. I do not want her to see me. I can't think of a logical reason for that, but it feels very real. I dive behind a large rock. I'm sure she saw me... she was looking this way. I peek and see she is looking in my direction with a puzzled look on her face. Why do I feel such dread associated with her? She doesn't look violent or dangerous... But the feeling is strong, I know I have to get out, and I do so by waking up.

“Amelia”
I seem to be reading a feature article that Amelia has written for a newspaper.  It seems to be linked with her upcoming cabaret because a little banner with similar images runs at the bottom of the page.

“Lost in Town and the Stationmaster.”
I’m with my younger sister, J, lost in a town.  We contemplate catching a bus but when it pulls up and I ask where it goes, it clearly won’t get us home to S H.  I’d happily walk home but I have no idea how far away that is because I’m not really sure where we are, so I decide we must make our way to the train station.  Somewhere along the way my sister drops out of the dream.

I meet a stationmaster and ask him if various trains pass through this station.  For some reason, I mention Penrith, which is really a long way away from where I need to be but at least the line is right.  The stationmaster, a friendly man in his fifties, is interested in helping but he tells me I must first weigh myself.  I don’t query this; instead I place myself at the bottom of a metal contraption and cling on, using arm strength.  The “scales” are a platform shaped like a huge flat peanut.   I’m wondering if I’ll weigh more than usual, having apparently just consumed a large meal.  As I cling there, the occasional playful child attempts to hang on and the stationmaster shoos them away.  It’s only after I’ve weighed myself that I realise it would have been much easier to stand or lie on the platform.

“Seeking a Former Love”
I’m tracking down a former love.  Somehow, I’m aware that he’s living in Parramatta, and I also know he has a beautiful view of gardens and an arch (?) outside his apartment window.  In this dream I am married and I know it’s a risky thing to do, because I still have feelings for this person.

I’m standing on the vivid green lawn outside the hotel.  There is a board with the photos of the hotel occupants and little descriptions that they have written about themselves.  Reading is no problem in this dream, though it occurs to me in after-the-dream lucidity that reading in dreams isn’t always a matter of reading like you do IRL; in dreams you can sometimes just see the lettering and know what the words say without really connecting the two.  This is one of those occasions.  I look at the photos of the hotel occupants but some do not have photos.  I cannot see the person I seek there, so I begin to read the descriptions, trying to ascertain if I have a feel for the kind of person he is.  I immediately eliminate one with poor expression and spelling. 

Now an image flashes before my eyes, like a TV programme superimposed over the scene.  It’s a thin man in jeans and t-shirt with a crocheted cap.  After a brief interlude, he disappears.

I look around the hotel again.  My vision becomes omniscient: I can pretty much see wherever I want to and from any desired angle without moving from my spot.  I notice a feature similar to last night’s dream: plants on display, this time on a large board, presumably for sale. I can see the gardens that the tenants can view from their windows.  They’re pretty but there’s a sense of incompletion: some have only just been planted.

I make my way to the door I suspect belongs to my friend.  He does in fact live there and we greet comfortably, like people who haven’t been apart for many years.

The programme superimposes itself over my awareness again.  It’s the same guy, standing in profile.  He’s talking about the near extinction of humanity, saying that there are three years where we come closest to it: 1915, 2015, 2056.

Plan:  Night 3 of my MILD challenge, when I fell asleep last night I was wishing I could do something to help with the disaster down in Japan, things are such a disaster down there... I don't even have money to donate... I was thinking if I could just AP a lot better than I could use that ability to find survivors, even to find those who have passed so their loved ones could have closure.  I was focused on that, and I had a lucid dream where I did just that.  It felt like my consciousness was jumping from one animal to another and searching for survivors...

I am in a different place, I am lucid, but I'm not in Japan, which is what had been on my mind when I fell asleep.  Instead I am on the moon, and Nomad is there with me.  He says he thinks some of the people from other worlds that we are in contact with such as Washu, Q, etc. can possibly manage to communicate with the people trying to keep the nuclear power plant in Japan stable… if they can manage to communicate, maybe they can help.  I tell Nomad I really wish there was something I could really do to help…  He says all we can do is try.  We teleport to the nuclear plant, along with the people I mentioned who are going to try to help, there are somewhere around 180 men and women rotating in and out of the plant, sea water is being brought in to cool the reactor core, radiation levels are high.  Washu says the right kind of energy field can help neutralize some radiation… which is also energy…  though it won't help if there is a meltdown… there doesn't seem to be a lot I can do there.

So now I am in a city, or what's left of a city.  The place is a complete disaster, it looks like I was completely wrong about there being even a vague chance of finding anyone in that place who is still alive.  I am having feelings of hopelessness, but since I am non-corporeal right now, I go ahead and phase through some of the rubble to look farther underneath it.  More destruction… solid rubble… just a total disaster.

The dead, I only spot a couple of bodies, but there are spirits of those who have passed being drawn to me since I am in a form similar to them but still connected to a living body.  They are lost and confused, some don't even seem to realize they're dead.  I try to tell them they need to move on to the next world, some do so, others don't want to admit they're dead, and still others don't even believe in another world after this one.  I find a survivor.  Now what?  She is trapped, unable to move, too weak to make much sound.  I find a short way to the surface.  After a short look I find a rescue dog and enter the dog's mind, a friendly dog, a good dog wants to help.  The dog and I guide a rescuer back to the trapped woman.  Perfect!  I can get the animals to help!  I enter a bird and harass a rescuer until he finally follows me to a some trapped animals that are still alive.

As a kitten, I lead a rescuer to a man and his daughter who are trapped, drawing attention with plaintive mews.   Still as a cat, I find a woman buried in rubble.  I can't find anyone to help, she is so deep down… and hurt too badly.  All I can do is stay by her side and purr… she seems to find some comfort in the kitty beside her purring… the kitty is also crying…

[Sleep In]

Plans:  The only plan I had made for today was to meet up with MoSh in a Hogwarts dream, though I really want to increase my lucidity and get my recall back to its normal rate.  I really wish I knew why I have been having so many problems with that lately…

Sleep In
It is time for me to go to bed, I have no idea that I am actually already in bed and dreaming.  I am getting ready to lie down in bed when my mother comes into the room and asks me when I am going to be up the next morning.  I tell her I'll probably be up at the usual time, of course.  My mother says she wants to get going sooner than that.  I don't remember where we are planning on going, but I am thinking it is somewhere really fun, and I definitely don't want to miss getting to do it.  I tell my mother maybe I could get up a bit earlier than normal…  My mother points at the clock and says it's only 11:30 at night, so if I sleep until my normal time, I'd be getting 12 hours of sleep!  She says I really don't need to get 12 hours of sleep, do I?  I agree that 12 hours is probably overdoing it, I tell her I'll get up around 10 instead, so it will only be around 10 hours of sleep.  She seems to think this is still quite unreasonable, but she sighs with exasperation.  She says if I can manage to get out of bed a bit sooner, please do, she really doesn't want to wait that late and might just end up leaving without me.  This idea makes me a bit nervous, so I decide to set my alarm for 8:00 in the morning and settle for the usual 8 hours of sleep that is the recommended amount.  I fall asleep in bed without even considering doing a RC at any point.

Rock the House
I am going to a concert that takes place in a small club.  There aren't that many people there to see the band, and I figure that is because the band rather sucks.  There are overly aggressive bouncers guarding the stage, maybe they are afraid someone will attack the band members for sucking so bad.  One guy tries to get to the stage, though it looks like he is happy and wants to meet one of the band members rather than like he is hostile.  Apparently someone likes the music.  One of the bouncers grabs him, punches him hard in the gut, then drags him outside as he is gasping for breath.  The bouncer throws him to the ground and shuts the door before returning to his post.  Wow… so violent… everyone else sits down in the seats to keep from having the bouncers attack.  I really don't like this.  On a hunch I do a RC and find out I'm dreaming.  I fly from my seat and phase through the ceiling of the club, out into the open blue sky.

Ok, so now that I'm lucid, I need to decide what to do.  I don't remember my goals… damn… but I do remember that in some of my lucids my dream control hasn't been as strong as it should be.  So I fly over the city and start practicing my dream skills.  I discover that anything I can focus on and visualize I can create.  Of course I can, I am inside my own inner world… it is entirely under my control…  I do things such as alter the forms of a couple buildings, I bring a statue to life.  It is the statue of a horse that is about 50 feet tall, the horse gallops away, freaking out all of the DCs in its path.  I instinctively can tell that all of the people around there are DCs rather than real people.  I fly over a park and spawn a huge and beautiful tree with large golden fruits growing on it, I pick one and eat it… it tastes like chocolate.  Yay!  Chocolate flavored fruit!  A DC is beside the tree and staring at me with his jaw on the ground, it is an older man, I fly down over him and tell him if he's going to have his mouth hanging open, put something yummy in it!  I break off a piece of the fruit and stick it in the man's mouth where he doesn't even seem to notice it.  I decide to go back to the concert to see if I can make it more interesting.  I head back, and I find that for some reason there is now an iron grid around the club… where did that come from?  No matter.  I focus a circle of heat to soften the iron, then I rip out the circle of iron to create an entrance.  Wow, that was easy!  Inside, the same band is still sucking, most of the crowd have left.  I use a puppet kind of control on the band members, my DCs, and I summon a guitar and join in.  Now we rock!  We play a song I don't think I have ever heard.  But there's no one there to see it.  I summon some more DCs to be the audience.  For some reason the DCs that appear are dressed as if for a wedding.  Weird… but no matter.  I continue using the band DCs to accompany me as I play guitar and sing.  It is fun.


The Perfect Storm
I am in a castle like the one in Harry Potter, I am in Hogwarts.  There are people around me, everyone seems to be rather huddled together, though I'm not sure why.  They have everyone crammed into the great hall, all of the people from all of the houses, and this is creating more than a few arguments amongst the less friendly students.  Mostly everyone is keeping to themselves, however, and the talk is mostly about a storm.  I listen to some of them, then I go over to a window and look outside… and there sure is a storm out there, it looks like a serious blizzard.  The wind is howling outside and looks like it must be blowing at hurricane force.  I look beside me and I see MoSh is there.  I ask what is going on out there, he says it's a major storm.  No shit, Sherlock…  I say it seems strange, where did it come from?  MoSh says no one is sure, it is the worst storm Hogwarts has ever seen, and it came out of nowhere.  The temperatures in most of the castle have plummeted to sub zero levels, there is no way the fires and such can keep things warm at all.  The great hall has been placed under an enchantment to keep it warm, which is why everyone is here.  Wow… that is one serious storm.  I wonder if the storm is definitely natural.

I wander around the room more, I see Crabb and Goyle near another window, staring out, apparently fixated on something out there.  That gets my curiosity up so I go over to them and ask what they are looking at.  Crabb said nothing, they are looking for Draco.  I ask why they are looking out there for Draco, shouldn't he be in the great hall with everyone else?  Goyle hesitates, Crabb says they're not supposed to tell, Draco said it's a secret.  I say I won't tell anyone, so go ahead and share it with me… I'm sure Draco wouldn't mind if I know.  Finally Goyle says Draco went outside about an hour ago, before the storm got so bad, and he hasn't come back.  Crabb said Draco had been going out to get something to do with the tournament task, but students aren't supposed to go into the forest… and he hasn't come back.  Wow… Draco is out in the storm?  I decide I have to go out to get him.  Goyle says I promised not to tell… I ask how they can keep that secret when Draco could die out there?  I add not to worry, I don't need to tell anyone… I'll go get Draco myself.

I go to leave the room, but McGonagall stops me and says no one is to leave the room.  I had thought that might be an issue.  I go to the other side of the room and find a secret passage behind a suit of armor, the passage leads outside eventually.  And it is freezing out, though it doesn't feel as bad as MoSh had indicated.  Then again, I am used to the cold pretty well.  I wrap myself in some cloaks I find near the exit and head for the forbidden forest.  There is no point in calling Draco, the wind is much too loud.  The sleet and snow is like needles against my face, not comfortable at all, but definitely bearable.  Once I get to the forest I find there is a bit of shelter, I look around, not sure where to find Draco.  Somehow my instinct guides me, and after I have traveled a short distance, I find Draco huddled under a particularly large tree.  He has his robes pulled tight around him, but those do no good… they are soaked from the sleet.  I have seen movies and read books about arctic survival… wearing wet clothes is worse than none at all in the cold… and I have enough cloaks around me to share…  So I start getting Draco out of the wet robes, he seems too out of it to respond much… I wrap my cloaks around both of us, keeping him close to share some body heat as we head back to the castle and into the passage I left through.

McGonagall meets us just a short way in, she says if I thought she didn't know about this passage, I was sorely mistaken… how dare I go outside and risk my… she sees Draco with me… good lord, what happened here?  Where did you find him?  I answer with the first thing I can think of, I say he was outside looking for herbs and hadn't gotten inside before the storm started.  True, but I didn't mention the forbidden forest.  McGonagall looks at Draco, mostly naked and shivering under my cloaks, she asks if he didn't hear the storm warning, or if he didn't take it seriously… he should really have listened… but save that for later.  She asks for me to help her get him to the hospital wing.  We get Draco to the hospital wing, where another spell has been cast for warmth, and put him into a bed to be cared for by Madam Palmphrey.  Outside the hospital wing McGonagall says that my going out in the storm alone was very foolish, why hadn't I told someone, told a teacher that Draco was outside?  But it was also very brave… she doesn't know whether to punish me for leaving the castle in this storm or reward me for bringing Draco back safely… so she will do neither.  She says to get back to the great hall through the hidden passage and no one will know I had left, or at least they wouldn't hear it from her.  I head back to the great hall.

I was in a bedroom that wasn't actually mine, but my waterbed was there along with a few other beds crammed into the room.  There were a total of four other people in the room, four beds other than my own, there were two men and two women there, I knew them all as friends.  It was larger bedroom than my room IWL, but it was still very crowded with five beds crammed in there.  I was lying on my waterbed, fading in and out of sleep, when someone got my attention.  It was one of the guys, he was boasting and bragging on how he pwned some mugger that had gone after him, he said he had pulled out his knife and gutted the guy, that sounded a bit violent to me… the worst part was that when he stated he had knifed the mugger in the gut, he drove his knife down into my waterbed, tearing a big hole in the mattress!  I was pissed off at him, I told him he was paying for the new mattress, he said the leak was small and could be fixed.  I got the leak repair kit out and tried to put a patch on the leak, but it was too big for that.  I repeated to the guy that he would be paying for my new mattress.

I thought for a bit, trying to think of the name of the place I went to last time I needed a new waterbed mattress.  I was annoyed at the fact I couldn't think of it since it hasn't been that long since I have gotten a new one.  I couldn't think of the name, but I opened the phone book to the right spot to find the bed stores.  I finally thought of the name… A Bedder Bed… and then I went straight to the phone number for the place.  I picked up the phone beside my bed and was going to dial, but there was no dial tone on the phone… I immediately figured someone had forgotten to pay the phone bill.  Well, I knew where the place was, so I would just go out and get the mattress.  I pointed at the guy who had stabbed my bed, repeating one more time that he would be paying for my new mattress, which would probably be $70 to $90 dollars, so he had better have it ready.  With that I got in my car and left the house, which was a place I didn't recognize at all, and headed to the main road.

As I left the house, I reminded myself that the house I had been staying at is downtown, so I would have to drive out from town to get to A Bedder Bed instead of in towards town.  I drove along a couple of the roads, was force to take a detour by road construction, and then I proceeded to get completely lost in a really confusing neighborhood before I finally found my way back to the main road.  I went to the shopping area where I knew A Bedder Bed was, pulled in to the parking area, and went to park in front of the store… but it was gone!  It was seriously closed, there were boards over all of the windows, there were signs on the boarded windows and door that said the place was closed for good.  Shit!  Where was I supposed to get my waterbed mattress now?  I saw what looked like a yard sale in the parking lot, so I went to check it out.  There was a man selling off the remaining inventory of A Bedder Bed, so I looked for my mattress.  Unfortunately I didn't find one… crap.  The man said the stuff in questionable condition was in the trash dumpster out back, so I went there next.  I was literally digging through the trash until I found a waterbed mattress that said Super Single, the size of my bed, and was still sealed in its packaging.  I just hoped it would be ok.

So I got back in my car and drove back to the house, this time I managed to avoid getting lost.  I was thinking I might just go ahead and tell the jerk who had stabbed my bed that he owed me some money, but maybe drop it to a round $50 and said it was a going out of business sale.  I was debating as to if that would be an acceptable thing to do or if that would make me an asshole.  I parked in front of the house and went in through the carport.  There was a guy, not one of the ones from the bedroom earlier, sitting in a car with the engine running.  I immediately noticed there was a hose going from the exhaust into the cabin of the car, he was in the process of killing himself!  I went to the driver's door and I was going to do something when I realized the window was wide open.  Actually, all of the windows were open.  I asked the guy what was going on, he said life wasn't worth living so he was putting an end to it.  I told him the windows were all open… he said yeah, he'd tried it with the windows closed, but the exhaust had smelled bad, so he opened them so his dying moments wouldn't stink.  I figured that obviously he would never successfully kill himself like that.  I told him that he was, however, wasting gas and putting off unnecessary air pollution for those of us left behind to deal with… so he should turn off the engine while waiting to die.  He said I had a good point, no reason to ruin the environment for those of us left behind, so he turned the engine off.  He leaned back in the driver's seat and continued waiting for his suicide attempt to work.  I didn't bother telling him his attempt at killing himself was destined to be an epic fail.

I went into the house and looked for my waterbed, I found it was still filled with water.  The asshole who had stabbed it was putting one final piece of duct tape on the mattress, which was practically entirely covered with duct tape.  It looked like the entire mattress was made from duct tape.  The guy looked at me and said my mattress was as good as new, so he wouldn't have to pay for my new one.  I told him I didn't think that would hold, but if it did, then I would agree to that.  He seemed happy and drank down a beer in one gulp, following it up with a loud burp.  I didn't really want to hang out with these people right now, so I went to leave the house again.  The guy who had been killing himself met me at the door and said he had decided against suicide.  He said it just takes too long, and it's so damn boring!  That completed his epic fail at committing suicide.  I just shook my head as I walked out the door and woke up.

Note:  I started off this night with three major goals, the first was to meet up with MoSh and see if I am able to be with him when he meets up with Romano, the second was to meet up with Nomad and go into the oceans to communicate with dolphins, and the third was to go through time and view a dream Walms had where it seemed that some insane version of me was attacking him for no apparent reason.  Unfortunately, I was not successful in entering my WILD upon falling asleep, which made remembering my goals in the dream state considerably harder than it would have been had I been able to use my WILD.

As I was heading to class at ITT Tech I was convinced that there was something I was supposed to be doing, someone I was supposed to meet with, but I couldn't think what I was supposed to be doing or where I was supposed to meet with someone or even who I was supposed to meet with!  That was driving me nuts that I couldn't think of what I was supposed to be doing and who I was supposed to be meeting!  I was so distracted by it that I drove right past ITT Tech… well, that was easy enough to fix, I would just have to make a U turn and head back to the school.  There was a lot of traffic coming from the other direction, so I wouldn't be able to make a U turn, so instead I waited for a brief break in traffic and turned left into a neighborhood.  I was going to just turn around and head back to the main street, but there was a concrete median in the middle of the road and I couldn't get to the other side to head back.  So I continued driving down the street looking for some way to complete my U turn, some way to turn left and then head back in the direction I had just come from.

So I kept on driving along the winding road, there was no way I was going to make it to class on time now, so now not only would I end up defaulting on whatever it was I had agreed to do with whoever it was I was forgetting I would also be late for or miss my class.  This was not going well at all.  At least I had a pleasant drive, though, through a curvy road lined with nice houses and a lot of trees, it looked like a very nice neighborhood to live in.  I came around a curve and drove up an incline towards some nice homes at the top of the hill.  There was no longer a median in the center, but I had ceased caring about turning around and heading back to school.  One of the houses at the top of the hill looked strikingly familiar, though I couldn't place where I had seen it before nor could I think of how I might have seen it before since I had never been down that road.  I pulled up next to the house, going slowly as I tried to think of where I had seen the place before and what it might mean, when a man came out of the house and looked right at me… great… now he was going to think I was some kind of crazy person casing the joint or something…

I moved to drive away from the house, but right as I pushed on the gas my engine died even though there had not been any signs of trouble just seconds before.  The man was coming over to the car now, I was wondering if he realized I was having problems or if he thought I was a nutter, I figured I could tell him I had slowed down because my engine was making noises and then it stalled.  At least I would have a good excuse for having stopped right in front of his house.  He came over to my car and peered in through the driver side window, smiling in a friendly manner, it was a young man who looked to be in his 20's, he had short dark hair and a nice smile and I found myself staring into his beautiful brown eyes…  He asked me what I was doing, and I realized it was rude to stare at his eyes or any other part of him, and I said I was just having car problems…  He looked at me strangely and asked what I was doing using a car for anyway when I normally just use portals.

The man paused, then he said what I needed to be doing was cloaking myself so Romano wouldn't see me if he was to come tonight.  Romano?  Who in the world was Romano?  Was Romano the person I was supposed to meet?  It didn't sound like it, since this man was saying I should be hidden… or cloaked… how was I supposed to be cloaked?  I must have been giving him a puzzled look because he asked me what was wrong with me, get out of the car and get cloaked, Romano might be arriving at any moment, and he wanted it to look like he was alone here…  I was still confused…  He asked me if I really had no clue as to what was going on, he asked me if I wasn't lucid, didn't I realize this was a dream?  A dream?  This is a dream?  The man said yes, it was a dream, so hurry up and cloak myself, Romano might be there at any minute, I still didn't know who Romano was, but I was realizing who this man was… it was MoSh… and this was a dream, so I would be able to cloak myself.  I got out of the car and focused on making my energy invisible, then I focused on Of Wolf and Man and changed into a cat, a black house cat… I did that and hid my energy.

Now I followed MoSh back to the house, I was a little kitty trotting along behind him, he seemed a bit impatient and acted as if there was something that wasn't going well at all.  I was going to ask him what was wrong, but all that came out was a meow.  I rubbed around his legs and purred, purrs are supposed to soothe anxiety, and it seemed like he had too much anxiety right now, he absent mindedly reached down and scratched me behind the ears, so I purred louder.  I saw a dog entering the room,

a big dog I didn't recognize, MoSh reached down and scooped me up into his arms and started petting me, I continued to purr.  The big dog came over in our direction, and sat down in front of MoSh, he was looking at me strangely, then at MoSh.  I thought I heard voices, telepathic communication?  Between MoSh and the dog?  Was the dog Romano?  Maybe… I was trying to tune into the communication and hear the voices when everything faded to black and I woke… it seemed I woke awfully suddenly…

[*Archery Competition*]

Note:  Here are a couple of non-lucid fragments I remember from the rest of the night… they really don't make a lot of sense at all and sound rather retarded, but I have been posting everything, so here they are:

*Archery Competition*
I was in my house.  I was practicing archery right there in the house.  There were targets hung on the wall and there were several other people there with me, also practicing their archery skills.  I was doing pretty well, hitting the target on most of my shots.  I fired a few more and then realized I was out of arrows… crap.  I asked someone to get me more arrows, and he came back with crap.  He said he couldn't find any arrows, so he had found a bunch of junk.  He handed me several pencils, a couple of knitting hooks, and an awkwardly shaped stick… um… I wasn't sure how I was supposed to practice archery with that.  I put a knitting needle in my bow and fired.  Of course it wasn't easily aimed.  The knitting needle embedded itself in the head of another archer.  He reached back and pulled it out.  He looked irritatedly at me and said I should watch what I was doing before I hurt someone.  A thick pus was oozing from his head wound, but he didn't notice or didn't care…  Somehow I found some arrows to shoot and went back to practicing with arrows.  Maybe shooting knitting needles had thrown me off, because my first arrow missed the mark majorly and stuck into our flat screen TV! I went over and pulled it out, needless to say there was a hole.  I found the missing pieces and was trying to put it back together like a puzzle… would the cracks be noticed?  Probably… then I would have to pay to have it replaced.  Damn… I don't have that kind of money!

*Parking Maze*
I was in a data center like in the hospitals where I used to work.  In the dream, I still held a job there.  I was getting off work now.  I left the office and met James, my ex boyfriend, outside the office.  In the dream I guess he wasn't my ex…  we headed down the hall and to the elevator.  This was the beginning of the weirdness… the elevator didn't go down, only up.  We went up about five floors, then we had to find another elevator that would take us to the parking level.  What a pain.  We got to the parking garage.  That, too, was confusing.  I knew I had parked on the 3rd level of the parking garage, but I couldn't find stairs that led there.  James and I looked endlessly.  We were getting mad at each other for being lost.  He said I can never find the right path… I told him we had been following his directions.  He didn't have a response, and we finally found my car.  Now to get out… which proved to be even harder.  The parking structure was a maze of up and down ramps, dead ends, and loops that were easy to get stuck in.  James said it would be quicker for him to walk.  I told him to get out and do so, then.  He didn't want to get out.  I finally found the exit from the parking garage, but there was a giant sinkhole blocking the road.  I knew there was another exit, but we would have to find that one… which promised to be a huge pain in the ass…

*Grand Theft Yu-Gi-Oh*
I was in my car driving down the road.  It was a bright sunny day, and there was not much traffic.  I had time to kill before I could go home.  I didn't want to get home before my mother expected me.  If I did, she would have me doing chores or cleaning or doing some kind of manual labor.  I didn't want to do that.  I saw a collector's card shop and decided to go in.  I parked and went inside.  There were so many different kinds of collectible cards.  Many of them were from CCG (collectible card games) such as Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic the Gathering, etc.  There were cards from sets I had never heard of.  I saw a few sample cards… and it looked like a deck with those would be unstoppable.  All cards were guaranteed to be tournament legal (at least until they became more widely known and might be banned), extremely rare, and neigh impossible to lose with.  They were also extremely expensive.  I wanted them.  I thought I could go to the next Yu-Gi-Oh tournament and wipe the floor with my ex boyfriend, who sometimes plays in those tournaments.  I thought I could at least kick ass in the tournaments.  I started slipping packs of the cards into my purse.  I took quite a few, though I don't know how many.  I walked out of the store.  The owner of the store was trying to stop me.  I was sure he had seen me steal the cards.  I reached for my keys to leave… I couldn't find them.  Damn!  Of all the luck.  They were probably buried under stolen Yu-Gi-Oh cards.  The shop owner caught up with me.  I was definitely busted.  He handed me my keys and said I had left those inside.  I thanked him, and made a note to myself that after I won a couple of tournaments I would be sure and bring money back here for that shop since the owner had been so nice.

It's a me, Mario!
I was Mario in this dream, from nintendo!!! I was in my room and i had a rifle, i was trading something with another species, i can't recall their appearance... Eventually they came back and me and Luigi changed our minds then, and didn't want to trade anymore. The other species told us that our spirit friends had something for us, that Wario gave it to them. The spirits were also another species... We said that we're tired of Wario, and that it's time he started dealing with us directly, instead of sending us on all these stupid quests... The things Wario always had for us were new skills and abilities we could use.
Then my room was under water, and we had changed into these big jellyfish, and there were also little round fish, wich could inflate and trust us upwards. They would get underneath us and bring us above the water then. Once we came out of the water (still in my room) they kept going and we crashed into the ceilling...
Then later everything was 2D, and i was walking alone in some jungle area. There was a yellow talking flower, and a fertile spot on the ground, in front of a wall of vines. I convinced the flower to plant itself in the spot, and then it grew and i could use it to jump over the vines!! I'm gonna be playing some nintento today!!!


Ghost hunters!
I was with a group of ghost hunters, i think we were ghost hunting in the UK, and my 2 partners were also British, one girl and boy. First we investegated some cabine or something, i can't recall much of that. Then we came to some fields with sheep in them, and there was some sort of treehouse / watchtower construction. We walked underneath it and the the girl found a blanket. Then we got in the treehouse but we didn't find anything worth investigating. But then we saw that all the sheep in the field next to ours, had all lined up like some sort of army, and they were all watching us! Then the view goes bird perspective, and we see that there's a scary image of a man choking / grabing someone burned on the top of the tower... Then some guy in a wheelchair joined us?


Drunk!
I was in my old house, the living was in it's right spot, wich is unusual for my dreams, normally everything gets switched around! I was sitting with my friend F and some lady who was supposed to teach us something? Me and F were bozing some strong liquor. I got up and went to the toilet, by the time i came back i had such a strong headrush and i was seriously wasted, i couldn't walk straight anymore, and it was pretty obvious. I returned and sat down, my friend F was playing a videogame, and the lady always wanted to engage conversation with me. But i was just to wasted, and i took an old game boy advanced magazine and started reading this, while passively talking to the lady... Then F made it clear to me that something was wrong with my face, i thought i just looked pissdrunk. I got up and went to the bathroom, and there was some junk on my face, small black dots, as if i shaved myself but the hairs kept sticking on my face... I cleaned em of and returned, feeling a little bit more sober after having some water in my face...


Hanging at T's!
I was at my friend T's place, sitting in the couch with my friends G and C. Some other friends were sitting in the yard. I took a laptop and checked my email. Turned out my friend Ka is having a sleep study done, interesting! Then i opened another mail from my friend Kr. He said he had a 45hours surgery done, wich opened him up from top to bottom... And he was now gonna be in a wheelchair for some time, and had to remain in the hospital for another week. He also said the times we could come visit, so we were gonna do that... Then my friend B entered, in the dream i thought it was him who was the man in the wheelchair in my previous ghosthunter dream (but he wasn't). He was now out of the wheelchair and healed, he commented on my friend Kr's mail, that it was gonna be hard...


Huge boat heist
First i'm seeing a port from a bird perspective, from really high in the sky. A huge cargo ship is being dropped in the water, but really, huge! I then knew it all was a setup to catch us...
Later i was in the passanger seat of a car, we were driving through the port, escaping... We managed to steal 2/3's of the boat... We had planned to steal the entire boat, but it didn't matter because the boat was so huge and valuable after all!


Swimming
I was at the swimming pool in my hometown, i entered the pool area in my clothes. My friend E was sitting at the side of the pool, getting dressed. I walked over and i found a bus ticket on the floor, it was his and i gave it back. Then he left and i was alone in the pool. I started to undress and get ready to swim. There was a kid and his mom sitting in the cafetaria in front of me, behind the glass. The kid said that i was undressing and that it was already 8 o'clock and that the pool closes now. Quickly i took of the rest of my clothes so i could at least have a quick dip. I dived and started swimming. Then the pool owner came and told me i could still swim for twenty minutes!


Unkown road
I'm running at an unkown road, it looks vaguely familiar but i'm not to sure. I remember passing a big liquor store, and thinking that i'm heading the right way, because i recognized it!

Slept 6 hours, woke natural...
I know i woke natural somewhere but i was to drowsy to recall dreams or take notes  


Gameshow
There was this gameshow, first some people played but i can't recall that part anymore. Then two sisters came up and the show host made fun of em in front of everyone...


Study town connection
I remember walking in my study town A. Exploring some part i didn't know yet. And eventually ending up in a familiar place and thinking it's cool that i've found this new route...


Let's get it on again
I'm with my ex-gf A and her fictional uncle and dad? We just went somewhere but i can't recall it anymore, i know i broke my ex-gf's lighter there. But i managed to snatch a new one from somebody... Now were sitting in a living room, i remember her uncle was drinking beer or asking for beer or something? My ex puts her hand under my leg and starts touching me while were sitting in the living room with her family. Then she saids she wants to get on top of me and does that... We then start touching eachother, her family only sees her back so... I think to myself that her family shouldn't know that we're still having a little fun but aren't dating anymore...


DDK23
I'm sitting in a dark unkown living room, next to a familiar stranger. I don't know who he was supposed to be in the dream, i felt like i've known him for a while but i didn't exactly trust him... My friend R is sitting on the floor, maybe playing videogames? The stranger takes a bag out of his pocket and shows it's to me, i feel inside it. Lotsof bottle's in it. He tells me it's ghb, xtc and hasj. He show me a piece of the hasj and makes me a cheap price, but i tell him it's to bad since i stopped smoking everything a couple of years ago... Then i ask him if he happens to have a flyer for the freeparty we're going to later. He gives me one, i look for who's playing tonight. Deaddollkitty's name is on the flyer. Cool i think, i can't wait to meet her and see her play live!

1 MM
I'm on the boards, i remember seeing DrT in a thread...

2 Traffic line
I'm standing in a traffic line, in a usually quiet street in my hometown, close to the old boys school. The apartments on my left side are gone and there's now a house. My friend T is in the yard, i yell at him and we briefly say something to eachother. In front of me i see my ex-gf K looking in the mirror in her car...

3 Smokers
I'm in an unkown small yard, there's a guy smoking weed. He offers me the joint but i pass, instead i light a joint with shrooms in it. We eventually sit down and start talking about lucid dreaming. He then advices me a good book on it...

4 School zigzag
I'm in school, in gym class. My friend K from highschool is there, and also alot of girls from elementary school. The class gets divided in groups of 2 people each. There's 17 people in total and i end up alone... We then have to run and go around cone's. Because i'm alone i don't have to zigzag these cone's, and i catch up with everyone.
Later it appears this was a thread on a forum, and i'm now going to another thread?

5 C photo
I'm at home, my friend C from college is coming over. She wants to buy my camera. I show her how it works and she has to lean in close so that we both can look at the screen. She then stars kissing me in my neck. I'm suprised and she stops but i tell her it's ok and we continue. We end up having sex in my kitchen.
Afterwards she buys my camera for a very low price. As she's gone i realise what i've done, it also appears that i've given her the wrong SD card, now she has the expensive one, and i kept the original one. I also sold 3 nintendo DS games with it, apparently i confused the camera with my gameboy...

6 Babysitter
I'm in my old study town. I run into S, she's family of my mom. Her daughter J has just gotten engaged in RL. In the dream she already had 2 kids, and S was asking me if i could watch em for 2 hours in the evening, she would pay me. I agreed.
Later i remember parking my car close to my old study dorm...

7 First person shooter
I'm inside an online videogame, a first person shooter. I'm playing against a friend of mine, he seems to be the only one i'm running into on the map. I play very tactical, hiding, ducking, flanking...
Eventually i get away from him and run into the rest of the team, they are all gathered at a hidden spot, just running around like headless chicken, not even shooting eachother. I frag all of em and it's game over, killcount has been reached and i win!

8 School toilet part 1
I'm in school, in the Dutch class. I remember going outside of class a few times but can't recall for what. Then my pc crashes in class and i have to reboot, i tell the teacher that i'm gonna go to the toilet while it reboots. I'm then in the halls, walking down the stairs. I'm not paying attention to the stairs and i almost fall over the ledge, a couple floors down... I pass an open door and see my friend O sitting at a desk. Then i'm in the hall were the toilet is supposed to be. I enter a room and it appears i'm now in a small lunchroom. This isn't right, i go outside again and see my classmate D. I ask him where the toilets are, he points me to a door, i think it's strange i overlooked em. I remember another guy my age leaving as i enter and go have a piss...

9 School toilet part 2
It's almost lunch break, me, a girl and my best friend from elementary school, are walking outside. We then split up and are gonna meet for lunch a bit later. I stay in the school because i need to go to the toilet. I'm in the toilets, taking a piss. First a small kid, maybe 6-7 years old comes in and starts peeing. Then an older kid, maybe 12-13 years old, comes in and also starts peeing. He's standing next to the younger kid, and turns around so that he's now pissing on the younger kid. I tell him to stop and he tries to run away. Outside i see my old teacher J, i tell him to stop the kid. I then take the kid with me to student counseling. He starts making something up and puts the blame on the school. The woman from student counceling makes him sign a paper. As the kid is gone she tells me we wont be seeing him again next year, because of the paper he had signed... We then talk a bit and agree to meet outside for lunch...

Soup fragment
I want to eat some soup at home, when i come in the kitchen the soup pot has been spilled over and there's soup all over the kitchen plates...

16-04-10

Slept 8 hours
Woke up twice, once after 6 hours, and once after 7 hours.
Thought about getting up after 7 hours, luckily i didn't


1 final fantasy 6
I was on a bus, my friend S was also on it. There was some guy with a sega megadrive and some games. S told me that he had fixed me the megadrive with final fantasy 6. Later i was at home, playing it a bit. And also thinking how i'm wasting my time on one of these longe rpg games...

2 Murderers
I was staying at a hotel in my hometown... I think the hotel was where the post office is. I was walking to the side of the road, everything was snowy outside. The cops were inspecting a spot on the side of the road. They uncovered some snow and found a dead body. The dead body was laying there for a long time. And it was pretty messed up. I saw the cop scrapping away snow with his feet, and he also scrapped pieces of the body by doing so.... I was watching it and was afraid, because i murdered the person, together with my friend. Then some kid on a bike drives by, with his father following him. The father was my partner in crime, and he was Stany Crets, a famous dutch actor. The cops suspected us, because we were the strangers in town. They started running after Stany and hadn't seen me. So i crossed the street and ran the other way. The streets were all changed. It divided in 3 roads, 1 going up and 2 going down at each side of it. I recognised this in the dream... And took the left route. At the end of it i came at some sort of covered exit, like a garage, but it led me into someone's house, i walked passed a table with some girls sitting at it. Then i turned back and went back outside, and tried another route, wich led into that house's yard... From there i ended up back inside the house, the girls were following me now, once they reached me it turned out the girl was L, a girl who was my classmate in elementary school. I told her i was lost and she led me out....

3 menage a trois
I was at 'I love techno', a famous dutch dance event!
Only the dance hall i was in was much smaller then any of the real halls, and it went up like a cinema hall, with seats, but there was a dancefloor in front of these stairs. Marco Nastic was spinning the decks. DJ Rush had already played, but it was filmed and i wanted to see it again. I remember thinking to myself that it was strange to have DJ Rush play in such a small hall...
A group of girls was sitting in the cinema seats, they had a laptop. I went over there, to watch the DJ Rush video on their laptop. As i got over there i got lucid...
I immediately started kissing one of the girls. It did occure to me that there was more then 1 girl. I dragged two of the girls with me on the floor behind the seats... We all had a nice threesome. It lasted very long, one of the girls was tired after a while and left. The other was also tired, but i convinced her to stay and we continued in the seats untill she really had enough, and left all worn out!
After that it was strange, i was sorta doubting i was awake now or not, maybe using the seats as a bed confused me? I can't really recall my surrounding after the sex... I guess the lucidity was very low level, also explains why it was so long!
I kinda feel stupid for wasting it on sex, but i guess i shouldn't complain! And i probably would have woken up alot earlier if i started thinking about dreamgoals...


PS :  Burned up, when you commented on the catwoman dream, it made me think of another dream in wich i could have had a threesome, but i just had a twosome...
So your comment probably had something to do with me remembering to do it right this time, thanks

 29-03-10

Slept 9 hours
woke up a few times but didn't take any notes in my phone, and now i can't recall most of my dreams anymore...


LU : Agharta, the city of shamballa!
I was in a neighbouring city to my hometown. First i was with a friend, i can't recall who. We were standing in front of the toystore. I told him i could play through Warioland on gameboy in no time (wich i cant in RL). So we went inside the toystore, i asked the owner for a gameboy with Warioland. First he wanted to give me this weird DS, it was different and bigger then the RL DS. And then he offered me the old purple gameboy advanced model. I took that one. There were no battery's in it. He said that was ok, that it could get power over the wireless network... Weird i thought, and turned it on. A red light started burning but that was it... I concluded the owner was messing with me, but then the game suddenly booted. I don't recall actually playing anything...
When i went back to the videogame section to return the gameboy advance, my friend K was standing there, and he asked for this game. He hadn't seen me yet. This was exactly the same as what happend in RL a few weeks ago...
I thought to myself : "Oh no, not this day again..." And i turned around and walked out of the store... Weird!
When i walked out i remember that M was walking behind me, i didn't say anything to her either and pretended i didn't see her.
Then i was talking to my math teacher from in highschool. I was explaining him about lucid dreaming and reality checks. We talked for a pretty long time...
As i was talking to him, i saw M cross the street again, then walk up to a fancy sportscar and drive of...
Then i wanted to go home, so i was walking to the big parking lot. On the way over there i remembered i also wanted to go check out the book store, so i continued moving up to the center.
It's a shopping city, so alot of people were walking the streets.
I came at the road were there is this clothes store were a friend of mine works (in RL they are demolitioning a building next to the store)
I thought about her and looked for the store but it was gone, there was this big white building standing there.
So i walked on and couldn't find the book store, it was gone... There were now all these big white beautiful buildings. An old lady asks me if i knew where the bookstore went. I tell her i dont know, she go's on to the next person and asks her. It's in the 'cornerstreet' she says to her. By now i'm at the big market place in the center, everything had changed here, all these fancy restaurants at the side of it. I knew where this 'cornerstreet" was so i walked on.
After a while i went into a small alley but it couldn't be that street, so i went back out. Few meters later the real street was there. So i walked on but couldn't find the bookstore. Then there was this big ancient tunnel with a gravel road, it was beautiful, so i just went inside to explore. Someone with a bicycle passed me by, and almost ran into me. I thought to myself, 'watch it!"
Then i reached the end of the tunnel there was this big field of grass and in the distance a huge ancient building with lotsof people around it. It was amazing! I said to myself, "You do realise your dreaming right?" So prolonging my dream was my goal, i never go with the plot once i get lucid, so this is what i wanted to do, in hopes of having a long lucid dream. I tried to block out my thoughts, think of nothing, and so i just started counting. And then i started flying towards the ancient building. Flying overthere without thinking was hard, like if i had little control over my flying abilities, and i just kept speeding up. When i reached it i had to do one of those hockey stop landings. But i landed it with my feet on some guy who i tackled, wich was pretty cool. I felt like Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat, doing flying kicks! So i tackled him hard and everything went black. This was weird, it was as if some of my friends were sitting in the grass there, and my friend T was calling out to me. "Are you allright?" You're not moving?"
I was staying still to try a DEILD...

Now again like yesterday i'm pretty sure that i briefly woke up once or twice somewhere during that dream and then continued it.
Because i remember thinking some stuff about this dream. I'm not used to waking from dreams and then going back to sleep and continuing them, maybe my awareness is just increasing.


Anyways, i woke and started experiencing SP. My head felt nausia, like it was shaken up or something, and i experienced some strong and disorienting HI lights wich helped to this nausia i felt.
Now i'm not sure, but i think i rided the SP out, i tried to stay still and just let my body go with it...
Soon it was over and my body did feel like it was in a lockdown, and like all my limbs were laying in the wrong place. I couldn't be sure in what position i was laying, so i guess i was paralysed?
So the HI and SP sensations stopped and i was just laying there, feeling like a broken doll with twisted limbs. I wondered what was going on, i felt to aware to be in a dream or to enter a dream, i did some RC's and i wasn't in a dream. I waited for 5 minutes, and just kept feeling very aware. So i eventually moved, moving wasn't hard... Like if i wasn't really paralysed, but my body did feel like it was in a lockdown again...
So now i'm not sure if i rided the SP out...
Could it be that this SP is easily to break free from for me?
Or do i really have to be paralysed, and does it HAS to be so that i can't easily move?
The fact that i sometimes doubt in what position i'm laying after experiencing the SP sensations leads me to believe that i did ride it out...
So was i just to aware to enter a dream?
Or is 9 hours of sleep just to long to be trying DEILD?
Also i was laying with my feet on the bed and my knee's in the air, so that my legs didn't actually touch the bed, weird position to sleep...


On another note, 2 or 3 days ago i did a WBTB, wich resulted in shitty recall and me wasting half of my day.
It had been 2 weeks since my last somewhat decent lucid, so maybe i was trying to hard?
I decided i needed a break and stop thinking about LD'ing so much, and looky here, 2 nights in a row i get lucid!
I was planning to try WILD again tonight but i'm gonna wait and just sleep, see if i'm on a winning streak here
Though i have slept for 9 hours last 2 days, maybe that's what causing it.

[23-02-2010]

This one was pretty amazing for me, it also was one of the longest LD's i've had in a long time!

23-02-2010


1 LU : it's oh so real.

First i was at home, i feel like i had a FA but i'm not sure anymore. Then i was in my room watching tv, a program about the newest movie releases.
It was night, i got a phonecall from my brother, something was wrong.
He was with friends. So i rushed over but i can't remember how.
Anyhow i got there and he and a friend were siting around. Somehow i now seem to think it was in the inside of a cave???
I asked him what was up but he wasn't very talkative, he did seem shocked or something. But i couldn't tell by what. I had the feeling they might have done something terribly wrong...
Another black hole later i'm sitting in my car, at 200m infront my house at the side of the road.
I can't recall what i was doing there, i knew i stopped and was waiting around for something??
It was still the middle of the night.
I have an old car so the windows were starting to get damped (is that correct in english?? probably not :p)
I turned on the heat and i took of. The car didn't do what it was supposed to and i was driving backwards at the side of the road.
I couldn't see much through my windows. As i was driving backwards i couldn't get the car to stop.
I was afraid of driving in the ditch at the side of the road. I managed to turn the car around and was now on the road again, with the car facing the opposite direction of my house. I drove and very soon the world around me turned fictional, i didn't know where i was and i turned the car around again.
Another black hole later i'm 2 streets away from where i started out with my car, driving past an old school (wich hasn't been in use for as long as i remember, but my mom did go to school there)
I drive past it as i get lucid. In front of the school is an open garagedoor and a guy standing in a mechanics suite.
Somehow i felt he looked threatening, i was lucid and i don't think i ever had a decent fight in a lucid dream. So i stopped the car and wanted to go woop his ass.
By now he was standing with his back towards me.
I wanted to energy blast him, i've never succesfully pulled one of, i think it might be because i always try em while i'm flying or something.
So not this time, i just stood in front of him, i tried three times, really trying to visualise the impact of it on the surrounding, but it just wouldn't work...
Then i want to go over and start fighting, but by the time i got over he turned around and didn't look so threatening anymore, just a normal kid :p
So i just passed him by, going inside the school, once more rushing into the dreamworld.
Inside there was a small class of 6 very young students and a teacher.
Somehow i seemed to be invisible for the teacher, but the students would see me. The teacher noticed something was up and the students didn't say they saw me. I guess this is why i thought i was invisible to him, because he didn't pay any attention to me, but the kids did.
Well i guess i didn't like the school, probably not exciting enough. So as i wanted to walk back out i remembered Shift's previous realistic beach dream.
I stopped for a second, rubbing my hands against eachother. Then i went back inside to the class. I just stood next to them and took a good look, it was truly amazing how real it was. It seems the longer i stood there the more real it looked, i've never payed attention to it and i was really wowed by it. I remember about a stabelizing technique of touching objects. So i put my hand on one of the plastic tables, it also felt very real and cold. There was a leather book on the table, wich i also put my hand on for a few seconds. This felt kinda special, i don't know, i got this buzzing or kindof burning feeling in my hand... It was nice.
But again i remembered Shift's dream, so i started looking around for hot and cold. There were some water drains at the side of the room. I went over and turned on two different water cranes. One for hot and one for cold. The cold one felt very realistic. The warm one was warm-ish but also not really, i could definitly distinguish the both of them but i was a bit dissapointed by the feeling of the warm water... It just wasn't warm enough.
So now i wanted to go out, i was very cautious, i didn't fly or run through walls in fear of waking up...
So i ran around using doors :p
In the street is a bar where i used to hang out years ago, i wanted to go there, meet some young folks.
On the way over there i passed another bar, one wich isn't there in RL, i see 2 pretty girls sitting there through the window as i passed by. The RL bar is still a bit of a run, so i decide to turn back and go into the other bar. As i enter the girls weren't sitting there anymore, and it turned out it wasn't a bar. It was a foodstore where you could eat french fries and hamburgers.
Now looking back on the realistic theme i should have tried some food but again this didn't cross my mind...
The store owner was an older woman, but i noticed how beautiful she was for her age. There was a young girl placing an order.
Anyway, i got in and i kinda acted like i normally would in this situating, i said hello to the owner and took a seat...
Through the window i see a car stop in the street, two young girls get out and enter the foodstore.
They both looked very different, one was more of a skatertype with loose clothes, she also had pale skin. And the other was more the makeup type with fancy clothes and very brown skin.
The store owner seemed to ignore me and take those girls orders. So i was invisible to her to? I don't remember if i got a reply when saying hello...
As the makeup girl placed her order the skatergirl starts talking to me.
I don't exactly remember her opening line, but it was an unreal line to start talking to a stranger.
But then she started talking like we knew eachother, like she was my ex-girlfriends younger sister...
So when she did i kinda saw the resemblance between em, but it was as if she was 5 years older in the dream, i didn't recognise her when she entered...
Now this time i do remember the rest of the conversation very well, it was also amazingly realistic!
She told me how my ex was doing, and that she was looking for a house with her boyfriend, so she really talked like she was 5 years older... I think she's 19 now...
I'm not gonna go into detail but she asked some realistic questions regarding my life and how i was doing... I got so caught up talking with her, it was amazing Now during the whole lucid dream i rubbed my hands against eachother alot, but i got so caught up talking with her that i forgot to. I woke up in the middle of the conversation...
Also during the dream i kept thinking about how long it went on, it's been a long time since i had a decent length LD... I'm so happy about this one!

[*The Simpsons*]

Note:  The rest of what happened in this night consists of dream fragments.  There are several fragments here, and I am listing them all together.

*The Simpsons*
I was watching an episode of the Simpsons on television.  Bart Simpson was sitting in his bedroom working on some kind of a computer.  He was laughing as he typed things in.  The scene shifted to the Simpsons living room.  Suddenly I was sitting on the couch between Homer and Lisa.  Marge was in the kitchen doing something, Maggie was on the floor sucking her pacifier, Santa's Little Helper was curled up and sleeping, I had Snowball II on my lap purring.  I watched the news.  Kent Brockman was giving the news.

"So rest assured, my fellow alcoholics," Brockman said, "The next shipment of beer is already on its way.  In other news… uh… you really want me to read that?!  Ok… not that this is news… everyone knows that… alright!  I'm reading it!  In other news, Homer Simpson's butt has been assigned its own zip code, and is now officially known as the largest ass in the world.  Better watch out if that one farts!  Hahaha… um… you don't seriously want me to do that, do you?  But seriously…  Alright!  Yes, I want to keep my job!"  Brockman climbed up on the news desk, turned his back to the camera, dropped his pants, bent over, started mooning the camera and bobbing his butt in rhythm to My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas… "My butt… my butt… is smaller than Homer's butt…  My ass… my ass… would fit up Homer's ass…"

Homer was getting madder and madder.  He finally turned off the television and went upstairs to Bart's room.  Lisa and I were following, looking to see the train wreck about to happen up there.  Homer barged into Bart's room and snatched the laptop device from Bart, telling him it is wrong to mess with the news and to stop making that poor reporter look like a fool…  Homer took the device and went back downstairs.  He set the device on the coffee table.  He watched the news a bit more, it was the weather… and then went back to Kent Brockman.  Homer kept looking sideways at the laptop.  He finally picked it up and started typing on it and laughing like a kid.

"And today in sports," Brockman was saying, "… uh… come on, people, seriously?  Alright, alright… Highlights in sports today include a new contest that is all the rage here in Springfield.  The person to drop the most scorpions down Ned Flanders' pants will receive a special trophy commemorating the length of time it takes before Flanders is able to sit without pain."

"Hey, Homer!" Bart said, having just come downstairs, "How come you get to play with it and I don't?!"  Insert canned laughter here…

*Nexus of Worlds*
I was in a hallway.  I was walking down the hallway, and I could see there were doors on both sides of the hall.  All of the doors looked the same, and the hall appeared to go both ways from where I was without any sign of ending.  It looked like a typical office hallway.  But there was no end in sight.  I walked down the halls for a ways and looked at one of the doors.  I wondered where all of them went.  I opened a door and found myself staring out into the vastness of space.  Stars, a distant galaxy, a comet flew by… and amazingly there was no pressure change, I didn't get pulled out into the vacuum…  I closed the door and went to the next one.  It opened into a human rainforest.  There was something in the trees approaching fast… I closed the door.  Another door led to a raging flame.  Was the building on fire now?  I shut the door and kept going…  Another door led to a scorched desert… the next to a cave… and the next to… waking up.

*Book of Darkness*
I was in my bedroom.  I was lucid.   I was sitting on my bed looking at what appeared to be an ancient book.  The book was locked closed tight.  I wanted to get the book open.  I looked at the book very closely.  I was looking for some kind of keyhole or lock that was keeping the latches in place.  I couldn't find one.  I wondered how I could possibly get it open…  I played with the latches a bit, but it was getting nowhere.  I thought maybe I could ask Q.  When I thought of him, Q appeared as if I had summoned him.  He looked at the latches.  He said those were energy locks.  They would only be released with a certain energy flow.  I wondered what the book would want… I tried to use a flow of stable dark energy to prove I could control that energy once I had it.  The book vibrated in my hands but didn't open.  I tried light energy, to show the book I had not given myself completely to darkness… the book vibrated some more, but nothing else happened.  I thought maybe I had to use both dark and light… show I can control dark but hadn't gone completely over to it.  The book was vibrating quite violently now.  Was it going to unlock?  Would I finally see inside?  I got so excited I woke myself up… Damn!

*Criminal Mindlessness*
I was in the living room of a house I didn't recognize.  I looked around.  It was a very nice looking home, although it was a bit cluttered.  There were kids' toys around, a couple of game systems plugged in to a big screen TV, some of the games lying around, a half finished glass of soda on one of the end tables.  I wondered where I was and how I had gotten there…  I was about to sneak back out before I got in trouble when I heard a scream from the basement.  I headed down the stairs to the basement.  The basement was an unfinished basement, with the wall beams still visible.  There were people tied tightly to those beams… five of them, all naked and gagged.  A man, a woman, and three kids that looked to be around 4, 8, and 12 years old.  The youngest one was crying openly, it was a little girl.  The 8 year old was also a girl, the 12 year old was a boy.  There was a large and ugly man pacing in front of the people.  There was a pile of charcoal around each of the prisoners.  And the man wasn't just pacing… he was squirting something at the coals… it was lighter fluid.  The psycho took out a match and prepared to set the charcoal ablaze.  All of those details had really only taken me a second to see, and that was all I needed to see…

"Hey!" I yelled to get the asshole's attention, "Why don't you pick on someone who can fight back?"

"Ahhh," the man said as he smiled at me, "More fun."  He threw the match into the charcoal.  The coals didn't burst into flames as I had expected, the flames stayed buried in the coals.  The coals were heating up to red hot, and the heat from the coals was burning the people's feet and lower legs.  The people were screaming through their gags and struggling pointlessly against their bonds.  The man said the music of their screams was perfect for killing to.  He came towards me, he was muttering about what he was going to do to me… cut me apart?  Let me burn with the others?  He said he would have to be inventive with someone foolish enough to walk in on his play time.  He said I was making him all hard, so that was the first thing he wanted… he came towards me rather quickly considering his size.  He reached out for me and I easily dodged to the side.  I wondered what I was going to do now that I had his attention… if only I had a weapon… but then I did!  Out of nowhere a sword appeared in my hand.  Awesome!  I didn't know where it had come from, but it would do great.  The man looked quite shocked… and that was also how he looked when he died.  Shocked, as my sword ran him through the chest.  I went to get the people free.  It was a nasty setup.  The coals below their feet were smoldering and putting off a lot of heat which was burning their feet and legs badly.  They weren't tied to the beams with rope… they were tied tightly there with barbed wire!  The barbs were digging into the prisoner's skin in many places.  I scattered the coals from their feet first… then I found a wire cutters and cut them free as carefully as I could.  The woman seemed oblivious to her wounds as she grabbed each of her children and then her husband in relief that they were all still alive.  She then came over and hugged me tightly, thanking me for showing up at the right time.  I thought their wounds must be very painful…  I was wishing I could do healing IWL.  I was thinking about Voices from the Macross Plus soundtrack.  The song played… I sang it… and their wounds healed!  Wow!  Maybe if I wanted it badly enough, magic would work for me IWL!  But that hope was crushed when I woke.
