/yume/ - Dreams

Hey, fellow lucid dreamers! My dream planet that I worked on for a long time from my visualization hiatus indicates there is going to be a war between my own dream characters I call Lucians versus Chasers, the source of our nightmares. I just whipped up a MS Paint map to show you what is happening while I was not there. In my last visit to that world, I was stationed at the Lucian capital as a coming of age prince on my way for coronation, but was besieged and left for dead by a local Chaser army. They let me go after I made a selfish decision to lose my ability to dream in exchange of not besieging again for a set period, and going back again before their terms are up would mean an all-out war that my “dream people” can’t win by themselves alone.

This map does not have translated locations yet because I still do not know much about the terrain other than the eleven Soul Towers and two metropolitan areas. These Soul Towers power up anyone’s abilities when near, but only under that respective faction’s control. There are 11 of them scattered about, and the goal in the next series of dreams anyone can participate is to capture all towers and then destroy its capital. The meter will tell you how close either faction is to winning that factors in population, towers controlled, and territory owned. This world is quite vast, even if you go at top speed on a prototype vehicle, it will still take you hours to reach the next destination, and driving is on the left hand.

Caution: Traveling in Lucia in anyone’s dreams including mine can be very dangerous, due to the extreme weather patterns that take place at certain times of the year, but anyone can force this phenomena either to their benefit or to wreak havoc over a wide area and stay there for a half-day. Speeds in futuristic versions of today’s vehicles and abilities related to agility can go over 400 km/h. In addition, for every minute going by, there is a ridiculously high chance the scenery or outcome of the event witnessed or not may change almost instantly because of the instability coming from thoughts. Every day on Lucia is equal to roughly this (45 mins daytime, 30 mins nighttime) in summer, and vice versa in winter (30 mins daytime, 45 mins nighttime). You suffer almost no social consequences only outside of a metropolitan area, but people in Lucia will remember your actions if you start causing chaos anywhere on their territory.

A brief info on the two factions:

I know this is kind of a hit-or-miss question, but it's worth a shot. Do your dreams ever take place in their own "world" or are they inconsistent or just regular places from your life. If they do take place in their own "world", can you describe it?

My dreams seem to take place in a somewhat more dilapidated variation of the state I grew up in with a few altered areas/new places. Also for some reason, all of the cars seem to be pre-2000.

By some miracle/coincidence, I found a picture on flickr that represents my dream setting very accurately. There is a junkyard that shows up often in my dreams that have hundreds of old cars crammed inside of it. My dreams are always in this weird vintage "filter" where everything is a blurred, brownish haze.

I keep procrastinating on mapping out the world, but for now that picture is the only thing I have in regards to visuals of it in real life.

Let's post pictures of things that inspire you, or things you want to see/be/meet in your next dream.

*Pic unrelated, just kinda cute*
I had a dream that my crush was starting talking to me and he was starting to like me. We walked under this really pretty tree on top of a hill and talked about things we liked. We would always be smiling but not in a creepy way, a comfortable way (for being in the dream). This "magical hill" was on a college campus of some sort? Then he suddenly disappeared; leaving notes and clues for me to find under this weird tree we hung out under. He had apparently been taken by some evil gang/tyrant/government or something and left me all of his… "clues" to complete. It was this whole crazy lucid adventure involving government conspiracy papers and rescuing my crush from this weird prison place where they held him captive… It was pretty intense and as much as I enjoyed my funny dream they of course never last; sadly.

Is it possible to inherit the ability to remember dreams more easily from your relatives? My grandmother and I can remember our dreams pretty well.
Our dreams our pretty different though. My dreams are more like Mado's and Sabi's while her's are more like Chie's with a bit of Uro's.
We each have a place that keeps appearing in our dreams. Mine have the schools I went to in the past, including my current one. Her's involve this candy store similar to ones you would've gone too if you were a child in the 50's. Actually, lot of her dreams are about her childhood.

A week ago, I surprised myself. I Tweeted that I should lucid dream, because I haven't done one in awhile, and on that same night, it happened. I guess i either got lucky or just by thinking about it before bed made it happen.
It started where I was in this Disney's Aladdin setting. I guess it was the Cave of Wonders because it has a large carpet and mounds of gold. I found a portal that leads to a different setting: a backyard with three grey tabby cats and a back and white cat, Angel/Boo, which is the cat that lives with me outside from my dream. That's when I started to become lucid. I took Angel with me and explored the backyard garden. There's a space, like a zoo exhibit, where a few breed of dogs were kept. A glass wall was separating me and my cat and the dogs. I can recognize a Great Dane and a few white Yorkshire Terriers in one. The others were a varied group of small white dogs. I recalled a memory I had where I didn't bother stopping to look in the garden in past dreams.
We went back to the backyard garden with the three cats. I decided to find out if one of these cats were Angel's real life friend, Gizmo. None of the cats are familiar, so I chose one that looks more like the cat I had in mind. Out of curiosity, I went to the back porch to see if I can fly off of it in my dragon-bird form I like to take when in a lucid dream. Slowly, I did succeed. After the transformation, I shrunk down to the size of a house-cat as soon as I flew to a window. I can smell someone cooking in the kitchen while floating above the dining room. When I entered the kitchen to see who's inside, where was an invisible person. The only thing I saw was a knife chopping mushrooms into slices while the gasoline stove behind it was turned on. Before I focused on changing my eyesight to see the person, I was pulled out of the house by some unknown force. After it placed me with the cats again in the backyard, I woke up.

So, I can't even remember the last time I've had a good dream…I think my insomnia somehow fuels me to only have nightmares, and they're very extreme nightmares.

Does anyone else here only experience nightmares?

I sometimes implement them into things I do, such as art, writing, and ideas for my game I am making. So I don't mind it I guess..

Bonjour je suis obèse

So this dream I had in a hospital is creepy as hell and it very much so resembles some parts in .flow. I should say though that the hospital I had the dream in was a "different kind" of hospital so that should make things make a little more sense. (WARNING CONTAINS .flow SPOILERS)

So the dream starts with me waking up in my hospital bed (this is strange because all the other dreams I had there were set in my house). I woke up and after seeing the staff come around for their 15 minute checks I got up and went to use the bathroom . So I went in the bathroom and looked in the mirror and I found it strange because my eyes were extremely bloodshot. I ignored this used the bathroom then left back to my bed. Soon after though my face felt wet so I went back to the bathroom and when I looked in the mirror my eyes were bleeding. (This last part is really where it starts to resemble .flow) So I was in shock then in the mirror the reflection put his hands on his face and then looked up and smiled at me. Almost identical to the White Room event in .flow. I started freaking out but I calmed myself and left the bathroom to go talk to the night nurse. On my way to the door of my room everything started becoming more and more distorted until it started to look like a YN game. On my way to the nurses station I began to fall apart and decay like in the good ending of .flow.

This is by far one of the creepiest dreams I've had , but it did make me realize a YN game with some ties to that kind of hospital would work really really well.

Hello. I'm a newfag in this chan, but I only wanted to know if there's a way for remembering dreams. Thank you.
