Cody(camera/EFX) "Lucid Minecraft + first person shooter + social justice = best welcome to your birthday month dream ever? Yes." -12/1/11
01 December, 2011
So I am never particularly exited for my birthday,(Dec. 20,) not that I hate birthdays, i just dont usually get hyped for my own. However, this year is different. Today I woke from a particularly satisfying dream. Okay, okay, let me start off by saying that I am an active supporter of the Occupy Wall Street (http://occupywallst.org/) movement, and a frequent visitor of the Occupy Phoenix (http://occupyphx.org/) movement here in Arizona. I was even lucky enough to be arrested and beat up by a group of Phoenix's Finest on the first night of the Phoenix movement... for filming, the farcical amount of police they sent to deal with 50 people saying "we love you!" *More on this at a different time* You now will understand why this particular dream was so sweet. That and the fact that alot of my dreams lately have involved being rounded up into prison camps :/
Any who, so the dream starts of with me in a fresh new world of Minecraft, (dream minecraft is AWESOME by the way,) so I got to work building this castle that I was mostly carving out of a mountain, but something about being so underground in the mystical caves of this wierd mountain castle was really starting to make things incoherent, and a little nutty. So I left the castle, built over the door and started bulding a town on top of the ground this time. Some time goes by and I have a nice little village, with other people, and everyone is happy. Until one of the little boys breaks into the castle that I had closed off. I spawn from my bed, walk outside of my little sponge house, and am immediately bombarded with a mob of angry people, telling me that there son was deranged and it was all my fault! Things get kinda fuzzy here and next thing I know I'm in a present day looking America, but still in Minecraft form. So I spawn from my bed, walk out of my crappy, one bedroom, nether-brick apartment, and get shot at by a sniper! This is where this start getting wonky. As I dodge into a nearby alleyway to avoid getting shot, I bring up an assault rifle with ACOG scope! (I know, video games will be the death of me.) I turn around a corner and BAM! Dead. Excruciating pain...Re-spawn in my apartment, this time I take the minecraft surroundings into account. I look out the window, count blocks to the house I see the gunfire from, then start digging underground. Out of fear for my life, and fear of the painful rebirth thing, I ignore the weird underground vibe and dig up under the sniper, and knifed him. At this point I felt extream remorse for what I had done, and the questioning of awareness really kicks in now. As I go around the map digging and killing all other players I become aware that I am dreaming, at first, I stood still, than, I got shot and it still hurt like hell, so I ran into a building, and threw down my gun, at this point the minecraft and the first person shooter worlds were gone, and my lucid state is fading in and out. I walk out of another door of the building and see a huge crowd of protesters, who were all shouting something that I just understood was a codeword for something, that gave me the feeling of hope in a time of now or never. So I walk to the front of the crowd, (which is at the bottom of a curvy road lined in razor wire fences, that looked like it went up to a corporate remodeled version of an extremely familiar building,) and right as I get to the edge of the people, I see the big gate like doors open, and a ton of riot cops start running down, in huge squads! So the crowd of people started pushing up while the riot cops were coming down, and the whole time everyone was screaming that codeword, and it seemed to make our group bigger and full of hope, so I started shouting also, and as we met int he middle, I was lost in chaos for a minuet, and we were getting pushed down, but as we came to the bottom of the curvy road, I realized that a large number of the riot officers where grabbing abusive officers and arresting them! So abusive law enforcement were being arrested left and right, and there were a group of marines that came out of the building, with blood of what looked like three different colors on their uniforms, and they were holding the doors for another team of military and police personnel that were running inside followed by tons of people with cameras, and now me. We followed the team of marines in to the building and up all of its floors, into the top executive office, (where I now find out we are in a federal reserve bank.) It is here that I discover that this is happening all over the world and they were on live feed to all the city's worldwide, and planning to barge into the security rooms all at once. The security room was a false wall that opened and showed a room sized elevator, we were given the signal, we all step into it. One of the soldiers rifles in the oak desk and finds a necklace, it is a golden owl with ruby eyes. He walks into the elevator and puts it face first into a matching indent on the inner wall of the elevator. The wall doors shut, and we start going down. We get off of the elevator and are led down a hallway lit by torches, and into a humungous conference room, that I recognize as the main great hall of the first castle I built. Here we find a whole slew of financial and political leaders, who are responsible for much of the global crisis right now, and who I will not name, hiding out, and praying to this giant, living owl. At this point, all of them were detained by the soldiers, and put in prisons, that the people have gained control over. From what I remember things were back in minecraft mode by the time, the soldiers had killed the owl and we got back to the surface, everything looked all destroyed, but there was a lot of hope in there air! This lead into some other dreams before I woke up, but I don't remember much more after that. I hope you enjoyed hearing about my birthday gift from the dream world!

Sara (Astral Girl) LUCID Dream - May 11th 2011
11 May, 2011
Tonight, I ran into a neighborhood friend. During the middle of our conversation, I realized that I had not seen her in a few years and that we weren't even that great of friends. I suddenly became confused as to why we were carrying on an in-depth conversation as if we had grown up as life-long buddies, inseparable since the diaper days!
I soon though that I must be dreaming... but everything seemed so real! I decided to try a reality check, so I looked at my friend Cydney and announced, "You are a dream character!". She looked highly amused and began laughing at me. Her reaction indicated to me that she was in fact a dream character and I was lucid!
I soon became very excited... which is a good and bad thing! Too much excitement can easily wake you up! Unfortunately I woke up quickly. Danny told me to fall back asleep ASAP and try to return to the same dream. Mission: Failed! Hopefully next time I can become lucid and stay in the world of lucidity to explore the unknown territory of the imagination!
See you in the Astral Planes!!

Sean (Jason) LUCID dream - April 21st 2011
21 April, 2011
I was riding in the Squeegee van and I was sitting in the backseat with a girl I don't remember. I tapped the seat with my finger and somehow I instantly knew I was in a dream. I think I verbally said I was in a dream and got really excited and the girl just rolled her eyes like it was uninteresting. I then told her how it was okay because us being in a dream didn't make it not real and that this was a real place to be.
I don't remember anything after that. I think I wondered about while lucid for a bit, but I don't know exactly. I end up watching a lot of people when I'm lucid. I'm in complete awe at them and their conversations and how much each of one seems to be so alive.

Sean (Jason) LUCID dream - March 9th 2011
09 March, 2011
I only wrote down a few things about this lucid dream, because I woke up in the middle of the night and typed it into my phone.
I'm in a hotel with Victor we realize we are dreaming. Both of us. We leave a crowd of people and find a private corner. We discuss what it means that we are both lucid and try and find something to say to each other when awake to confirm this is happening. We were standing by a pay phone and a toy car tilted on something.
This dream was pretty fucking sweet because it may have been a mutual dream. Sadly victor has very poor dream recall and cannot confirm anything. So this one will remain a mystery!

Sean (Jason) LUCID Dream - Feb. 24th 2011
25 February, 2011
Hurray!
While waiting for my boss to pick me up for a filming job this morning I was able to almost slip into a W.I.L.D.
As I was laying down I began to hear my roommate John's voice. I knew however that he was at the International UFO Conference running sound and was not in the house. I recognized the hypnagogia and attempted to ignore it while allowing it to grow louder.
I started seeing faces fly past me that I did not recognize. I felt like I was falling and I started hearing my own voice saying "open the door".
Now this is SUPER significant to me personally because my past two W.I.L.D. experiences have had a reoccurring theme. Two times I've got to the half state I am about describe but got stuck at a door. Both times I attempted to "phase" through the door.
And finally after the second dream I was like, "Dammit Sean! You don't need to phase through the door, you aren't Kitty Pride. Just stand up and open the fucking thing with your hand!!!"
So when I heard my voice telling me to open the door I was very shocked. I saw a hallway for a brief few seconds but never fully materialized. I continued to fly through the in-between state chaotically.
The unfortunate part about all three of these dreams is that I never attain full body awareness while being out of body. Meaning I don't reach my Astral body. Everything is kind of blurry and is almost foggy.
I remember flying through my star wars posters and oddly thinking that it was strange since I didn't go to sleep in my room, which I did. Near the end of the experience I realized I was in my childhood home that I grew up in. I was with a friend who I'll explain later. But I still didn't have a good grasp on the astral reality so I tried to verbally say, "Increase lucidity" but I couldn't really speak. It was like my mouth was being held shut. I tried a few more times, but to no luck.
After that point my boss called and I woke up.
Earlier in the experience I remember seeing a girl I know sitting by my window on a bed that is not next to my window in waking reality. I've had a few astral encounters with this girl recently and I find it rather fascinating. I sat behind her and touched her shoulder and then she turned and we kissed. This was the most "in body" moment of the experience, which is funny. The kiss was hilarious though, it was technically the second time I had kissed this girl in a lucid dream, but the previous time was in a D.I.L.D and I immediately stopped because the kiss is what gave me lucidity. This kiss was proper strange and was fairly real.
That was as far as that went, I'm not about to just give it all up for free! I remember jumping in my room trying to go through the ceiling but feeling the hardness of it. Also, remember that this wasn't a full on holy fucking shit out of body experience. The difference is a lot of this is more mental and like thoughts with images, rather than direct experience just like you are awake. I couldn't go through the roof and it was really bothering me. The girl and I walked out of my room and that's when I ended up in my old house.
I know I saw and heard more things but unfortunately I had to work and then write this all down so some of it is lost to time. I'll also update on a few dream events that I haven't written about yet.
I have to go now though because I was supposed to leave for the UFO conference to do video, but I just had to get this down. So just know I didn't proof read any of this.

Sean (Jason) Lucid Dream - Jan 30th 2011
30 January, 2011
I woke up earlier in the morning and drove home from a friends house. I stayed up for a few hours and then went back to sleep.
I was dozing off when I heard somebody walk in my room and turn on some music. I figured this to be Danny coming home from church, but when I opened my eyes the music stopped and I knew it was part of a hallucination. I closed my eyes and I began to feel my astral body. I could feel my 2nd pair of eyelids opening up.
I see a figure standing outside of my closet, I think it may be Danny again, but then the figure peels back the curtain and hovers over me. I can see it leaning down and waving its hands in my face. I believe its intention is to help me get out of my body, but it still makes me feel uneasy because it seems as if the figure is really there and hovering over my body, but I feel myself in my astral body.
I open my eyes and see that I am alone, I have sleep paralysis and cannot move my body. (this happened to me last night as well)
I close my eyes and again I see the shadow behind the curtain and then the thing pulls the the curtain back and again is waving its hands in my face. There is something scary still and again I open my eyes.
Frustrated with myself because I know I am so close to getting out of my body and only fear is holding me back I close my eyes again.
For a third time I see the figure behind the curtain but this time instead of coming into my closet I see it walk away, this enables me to finally fall out of my body into my room. Everything is very vivid I walk towards the front door and am compelled to open the bathroom door. A tall kid I went to high school is in there, I have little interest in talking to him and the strange figure directs me back to my room.
I remember seeing a small child sitting in the room, it reminds me of Hara the half cylon/half human baby from Battlestar Galactica. I don't remember anything else.
This was a very intense experience for me because the mysterious figure seemed to really try and get me out of my body. Although I knew this to be a friendly action I couldn't help but recognize some kind of fear. I need to overcome this and become more inquisitive while lucid.

Sean's (Jason) Dream - 11/12/10 *lucid
11 November, 2010
I've been editing episode V for the past week and most of my dreams have been somewhere in the editing hell. Sometimes I feel like I'm scrubbing through footage at a very slow rate, or looking at the same cuts over and over and over again. It's like a mental prison until I finish editing. Which is why I work in such fast bursts most of the time. Dive in, grab the treasure, and get the fuck out!
That being said today after a pleasant mid day shower I decided to lay down. Not exactly for the purpose of gaining Lucidity, but just to relax.
At some point I fell asleep and this is what I remember:
I'm standing on a huge cliff. On a road or something. Cody is near by. I don't think anything in particular makes me aware of that I'm not in my body. I simply realize it. Everything is still a little bit fuzzy, not a pure lucid state. I decide that I want to jump off the cliff and fly, but I hesitate. I remind myself that I have to have faith and not hesitate. This gives me the courage to jump. Sadly I don't fly and simply fall into the water. I'm very nervous swimming because I don't know what's in the water with me, but I again remind myself I have at least some level of control and I should be fine. I am able to swim and slowly start rising out of the water. I am able to fly and go somewhere I don't remember.
All in all a decent lucid experience, nothing profound or adventurous. I find it interesting I've been in nature environments lately in my dreams. I'm usually such a city dweller. Maybe I just need to get out more.
