..like reality with no limitations

i had made arrangements to go to the skate park with my friend from school and his older brother. at the last minute, chris and i changed plans and decided to go to a different skate park.

when we got they, my friend and his brother were already there waiting out front or us and i asked them how they knew we were going to show up here. they told us that they just figured we would do it.

we skated around for a little bit, but i remember every time i tried to do a trick, i could never get enough run up or speed.

the dream skipped and i was in my drive way. my dad and my neighbor were having a very casual argument about something i don't remember. i do remember, however, that it escalated very quickly to the point where my neighbor pushed my dad. my dad turn around and punched the guy straight in the face, but it didn't seem to hurt him too much.

he didn't hit back, but we went inside and i remember thinking that my dad was somewhat embarrassed because he didn't hurt the guy.

i had my second lucid dream last night and i must say it was probably one of the coolest things i've ever experienced. i started in a really creepy bathroom, just looking in the mirror. i saw nothing but a large black oval where my image would have been. the fact that i was dreaming didn't come into my mind until i looked to my left, where i was what looked like a bathtub. the only problem with it was that it was only about one-fifth of a bathtub. it was cut and shoved up against the wall. i found that pretty odd an immediately became lucid via a nose reality check.

i realized how creepy the bathroom i was in now and i really feared it was going to being a lucid nightmare. i turned to the door and closed my eyes before i opened it and imaged a very surreal landscape on the other side. when i opened the door i realized that i had again failed in my attempt to change my dream scene. i recognized the rest of the house, but couldn't put my finger on where i had seen it before.

i made an immediate right and crossed another room where i found my dad and my brother playing in what appeared to be the kitchen. i told my dad that i was dreaming and he obviously didn't believe me. like my previous lucid dream, i decided to prove it to him by making something behind my back. he suggested i make a fan. i pulled a paper fan out from behind me as a joke, knowing he meant a fan like the one on the ceiling above me. he gave me an impatient look and i dropped the paper fan and made a real one. amazed, he didn't say a word, so i decided to go do something fun before i woke up.

i walked out of the house where i again recognized my surroundings, but couldn't put my finger on where exactly i was. i immediatley remembered the lucid tasks, having read them before i went to bed. i felt like i had a pretty good amount of control so i tried to enlarge myself by closing my eyes and sucking in a massive amount of air. when i opened my eyes, i was a little disappointed because i was my regular size. i then realized how far off the ground i was and started fly around over the huge city.

i first flew over a park with a few odd things randomly placed in a open field by it. i don't remember most, but i do remember seeing a little miniature version of our galaxy floating by the edge of the field by the sidewalk. i thought it was really cool, but i wanted to do the lucid task still. i flew around until i saw a bridge-type area that looked like something you would see in italy. it had amazing architecture and i remember being so excited to go an see what it was all about.

when i touched the ground, i saw a group of random kids from my school sitting at a table eating lunch. i ignored them and looked to my right where i saw thing beautiful girl skateboarding. i figured i'd try to impress her so i "summoned" my skateboard and tried to do a tre-flip. i messed up and when i turned to look at her, she was gone. i figured it wasn't a big deal, because if i really wanted some "action" i could summon someone for it. again, i remembered the lucid task and looked around for something to paint on. since i had failed at the advanced task, i figured i'd try and do the regular one. i saw a big bulliten board with a dry erase board on it, but i figured that wouldn't count because i drew the picture instead of painting it.

i tried to make a canvas for myself, but couldn't seem to get it. i didn't realized how much was really possible in a dream until now; so i made myself some paint brushes and painted myself a canvas in thin air. i was so excited until the paint started to drip and the cavas wasn't really a canvas any more. i figured i could paint on the dry erase board, but when i turned around there were already some people drawing on it. they seemed like they were having a really good time, and i didn't want to disrupt them so i imagine and canvas set up behind me, instead of in my hands behind my back. when i turned around i was overjoyed to see it sitting there, perfectly set up for me. i started to paint and only got about halfway done when i woke up.

a false awakening! i was still lucid and i had my first false awakening. at first i was unsure it was a false awakening because i tried the nose plug reality check and it turned out unsuccessful. i'm not sure how i recognized it as a false awakening, but i continued outside. the house and the outside scenery were still the same. i was still questioning reality so i read a poster on the wall, looked away, and read it again. the words had changed! i'm not sure of this part of the dream.

---

i was now getting up, getting ready for school. this time i thought i had woken up for real until i walked outside and saw my brother was riding to school with another kid from my class. he usually takes the bus, but i thought nothing of it. he was playing a song by the suicide machines that i liked a lot and it was broad daylight, but again, i thought nothing of it.

i got into the car with my usual ride to school, brandon, and we began to drive. as we were driving down the turnpike i saw this scary looking witch lady outside the front of the car, hovering upside down. i turned to brandon and asked her who she was and what she was doing. then, i realized i was dreaming.

---

i woke up again, and walked outside. again i questioned reality and i'm not sure why, but i checked a clock, looked away, and check again. the time was different and i was still lucid! i heard a loud noise that sounded like the phone ringing and i feared i would wake up for real. after a few seconds it stopped and i start to think that i may be stuck in my dream forever.

i began to walk outside, only this time my mom was in the kitchen. i said something to her and decided to walk outside again, only this time i wanted to try to change the dream scene again. i imagined another surreal landscape outside and when i opened the door, the house was on top of a snowy mountain. i walked outside and was met by a group of green goblins with christmas hats on. i knew they weren't much of a threat so i just took off flying. i closed my eyes and imagined and big volanic-like valley below and when i opened my eyes it had change.

i remembered a previous post i made on dreamviews where i said i would fly to the sun and meet the people who lived there and that i would go on a big adventure with them. again i closed my eyes, only this time it was to the sun. when i opened them i was what looked like the surface of the sun, but with all the flames, i was afraid to fly down. i changed the dream scene to the volcanic valley again, and my mom walked out as i was flying.

she seemed to think nothing of it, but she told me to do a trick. i landed on some raised up plateau and did a big backflip off it and landed on my feet. it felt amazing. then i woke up :(

the dream started with brandon, chris, and me skating at some school that reminded of forest glen middle school. brandon challenged me to do a nose manual on ledge and i did it first try with easy. after this we decided to go, brandon leading us.

as we opened the door, brandon started to run towards a park when he was cut off by a police officer in his car. he immediately stopped, and turned around darting off the other way. i hid behind a dream and dropped my skateboard in some tall grass so it couldn't be seen. as i had my back to the tree i noticed chris throwing his board over a fence and he climbed after it.

i peek around the tree and realized brandon was caught. the details are vague at this point in the dream, but i remember the security let brandon off with a warning and he walked over to me. chris started to climb back over the fence and met us soon after. we turned around a noticed a big series of little stories on the sidewalk and walked up to one.

there was a bunch of people outside this one store so we decided to check that one out. when it was our turn in line i realized the man was selling bread. he gave us a choice of three different types of bread. the only one i could remember was sourdough.

i somehow go to my school just outside the cafeteria. i looked around and chris and brandon weren't with me anymore. i decided it was time for lunch anyway, since i hadn't gotten my bread bowl, so i started to walk towards the line. a bunch of big kids from my school that i'm not particularly fond of were standing in the middle of the hall so i casually walked through them. i remember one of them was on a bike, but that is trivial.

i was pushed from behind and assumed it was one of them. i wasn't sure who and at this point i was really angry and hungry so i punch them all. oddly, they didn't retaliated, they just called me names.

i guess i forgot about lunch and started to walk around school. at one point, i met up with keith and he told me he heard i punch all those kids in the face. i said:

"ya, but it wasn't like a whirlwind punch were i hit everyone at once."

he laughed and at that point brandon's friend's friend walked up to me. i wasn't sure what her name was, but i recognized her face. she looked at me very seductively. she was pretty hott so i got really excited.

at that point, someone made and annoucment and called an assembly where i had had the fight with the kids. there was only about twenty or thirty people there and they were all sitting indian style, myself included. casey schumaucher then got up and started to "adjust himself" in front of everyone. we all found it pretty amusing.

he was then called to the dean's office were they said they knew what he was doing because someone texted them on his cellphone. i'm not sure on the details on that part, but i think thats what happened. it was pretty confusing at the end. then i was woken up.

i had recently joined the soccer team and i remember being at a practice. i saw something that triggered recognition of this dream. i didn't realized that i was dreaming, just that i knew what was going to happen in the dream. it was a nightmare, so i started to run for wherever i could find to try and prevent this dream from playing out.

i found a very wide staircase going upward. it had about three floors and i ran to the second one and stopped. i felt i was safe here. i was with a friend, i'm not sure who. all i know is that i felt safe with them. if something bad were to happen they would try and help me out. i saw a group of people come in a door one the first floor and i knew they were after me so i started my way up to the third floor to hide.

i don't know what my friend was doing, but as i got to the second floor i realized it was a well-lit arcade and not a great place to hide. the people were at the second floor know so i knew i had no choice. i attempted to climb on top of the games and camoflage myself somehow. it didn't work. i had been caught. at this point i "blacked-out."

i awoke inside what appeared to be a jail cell with chris. i'm not sure if he knew what was going on, but i imediately knew what was happening. we were in a toture chamber run by a gang of about twenty people. i knew chris was the first to go from my previous dream.

the leader said something and chris was handed a tiny baby dragon. they removed him from the cage and the dragon bit him. it then grew much larger and was very vicious looking. chris grabbed something he was supplied with and killed the dragon by cutting its neck. before it died, the dragon cried something i can't remember.

his second test was coming. i don't remember what i was, all i remember is that he passed unharmed. a man in an executioners outfit stepped forward and present a mechanical box and annouced it as the third and final test. the leader explained the rules of this test, and that if he passed he would be set free. chris got to choose from three buttons, each determining what the test would be. he chose the center button. the test: he had to crawl across a pit of fire on a tiny wooden board. it was thirty feet long. he didn't seem too troubled by this and did it with ease. he was released from the chamber he was in.

now it was my turn. i remember from the last dream that i lost a finger from one of the tasks so i was very scared. i was lead out of the cell by the executioner and had a noose placed around my neck. i told to stand on a stool in the center of the room. as i was standing there, the gang leader began to explain the rules. i would not make out a word she was saying. i started to ask her to speak up or repeat herself, but she kept on going.

my hands weren't tied behind my back so i decided to take the noose off and try to escape. i undid the noose, and a metal door was immediately shut. it was my only escape. at this point, the gang leader was the only person present in my room. i saw my friend from before on the floor above us, and i mouthed to him to find some help. he gave me a puzzled look, like he didn't understand, so i repeated myself. he immediately turned and ran.

the gang leader then casually walked to a table and grabbed a gun. she cocked it and muttered something about pokemon that i couldn't make out. i grabbed a gun, and we started to fire at each other. neither one of us could hit the other.

the rest of the dream was vague. all i could remember was that i ended up living and never losing any fingers or anything. i came out completely unharmed.

additional comments: this dream didn't strike me as a nightmare. for some reason it was very "unemotional." i didn't feel like i was in danger at any time. it seemed odd that i never did a reality check when i realized that i had had this dream before.

i had many other dreams this night, but this was defenately most vivid of the lot. i was sleeping at chris's house and didn't have my dream journal to write them down as i woke up, so i forgot most of them in the morning. i do remember having them and remembering them right when i woke up though.

i had a dream that i was interviewing dakota fanning with another person. i couldn't make out the other person. she was showing us how her armpits were smooth and shaved.

i remember my mom trying to bribe me with five-thousand dollars to do something that i would normally do on a daily basis.

i'm not 100% positivie on what it was, but i think it was getting up in the morning to get dressed for school. in any case, i wouldn't do it.

additional comments: this could have some significance to the fact that my mom has a lot of trouble getting me out of bed
in the morning on week days. its seems to her like nothing she says or does will get me awake.

the dream started out with me getting up from playing world of warcraft. i was sitting in ironforge and put the afk tag on. when i got back, ironforge was being raided by the horde and i was very, very close to dying.

i guess the horde didn't kill me all the way because i was afk, so i sat there and let myself regenerate health. there was a few low levels around me, so when i did get health back, i killed them.

the dream skipped. i'm in the game now. i was running around killing people, and i started to attack these two kids. at this point, everyone was now an actual person, not a world of warcraft character. so i was chasing these two kids around and i slowed one, ran up to him, grabbed his helmet off, and threw it on the ground. i believe the two were brothers. he ran away, so i started to chase the other one. he had trapped himself in a corner and i was sitting there shooting at him, when the brother came up and started to attack me.

i said: "why are you attacking me?"

he responded: "because i know how it feels to lose your helmet, and have someone come by and pick it up before you have a chance to!"

at this point, i woke up.

additional comments: i found this dream odd because at the time i had it, i didn't even play world of warcraft.

the dream started out with me playing basketball with shaquille o'neal. the game seemed like a pick-up game because no one was wearing any specific jersey. shaq and i were the only two people on our team, and we kept making these therrible plays and getting scored on. we were playing against the lakers.

the dream skipped as i was running down the court with shaq, who had the ball. instead of the rest of the lakers, the other team had changed into agent smiths from the matrix. there was about twenty of them. then, shaq made this terrible pass and the ball went flying and got stuck against the wall some how.

the coach of the agent smiths said: "take off your jackets, and make a pyramid!"

they all started to make a big pyramid to get this ball, and the dream ended.

the dream started at my friend's house. i was lying down on the couch and my mom walked in and told me i had a very early hockey game/practice. i argued a bit and eventually fell asleep. i woke up and my dad was rolling my hockey bag into the room and told me it was time to go. i got up and again argued a little. i realized that i had fallen asleep on the couch and awoke in a bed so i did a reality check. it worked, i was dreaming!

to make sure i tried to put my finger through my palm. i didn't work, so i began to question if i was really dreaming. i used the nose plug reality check technique again, and again it work. i was indeed dreaming. at this point my dad was gone. i turned around to look for him and i saw chris in his bed. i woke him up to tell him i was dreaming. he didn't believe so, to prove it, i put my hand behind my back and pulled out and ice cream cone. chris's dog was next to him so i summoned a dog treat for her. i suggested we go outside so we headed to the door.

i saw this as a perfect opportunity to change the dream-scene. i imagine there would be a huge operation ivy concert outside and eagerly opened the door. it didn't work. outside there were a whole bunch of black and white vans. i obviously didn't have as much control as i thought. we walked past the vans across his driveway and to the other side of the street. we started running to the right, and there were a whole bunch of cars parked on the side of the road, like there was a party going on somewhere.

as we were running i started to hear a bunch of kids coming towards us on bikes. they were chris's neighborhood kids. chris started to run a lot faster, so fast that i couldn't keep up. when i reached to corner i gave up, chris was too far ahead. the kids caught up, so i stopped. they surrounded me with bright yellow dodge balls. one of them signaled the rest and they all threw their dodge balls. they road away and i was standing on the street corner alone for a little bit.

i was trying to think of something to do, and decided to go meet a dream character. i saw a house that i recognized and walked up to it. i knocked on the door and eased its way open. i noticed a birthday cake on the table with four candles in it and decided that the family is probably having a birthday party and that i probably shouldn't disturb them, so i shut the door and left. as i turned around, i noticed chris and his friends walking down the street towards me.

i ran up to them and power-slided to a stop in front of them. they stared in awe and i tried to fly, to show-off some more. i got a running start and jumped with my hand in a fist pointing towards the sky, and jumped. i didn't work. i imagined myself floating off the ground a little bit and it worked. i was flying. i eased my way back to the ground, and was woken up by the alarm clock.

additional comments: i did not have as much dream control as i initially thought. i could only make things from behind my back, and i could barely fly. on a scale of one to ten the dream control was probably around a three.

the dream started out with me sitting on the school bus with my head lying on my crossed arms on the seat in front of me. the people on the bus weren't the usual people, and i couldn't make out who most of them were. robert mcmickle was sitting two seats a head of me and he turned around and asked me if i wanted a gummie bear.

i responded: "no thanks. i'm cool."
again he asked: "you sure? they are really good."

again, i declined. he turned around and continued what he was doing. the gummie bear was clear colored.

additional comments: i found this dream odd because robert mcmickle is more of a friend of a friend to me. i know who he
is, and i know stuff about him, but i've never formally met him or spoken to him. he is one of my
best friend's good friends.
