Back in 2013 I was originally going to post my dream stuff here but I ended up posting it all in a blog. Now that I have been gone for a year or two, I should probably just post it here.
I've horrible Nightmares and night terrors. I usually remember them because its a crappy reoccuring one where I'm running down the stairs and I can't get out of my front door. I get this feeling that someone is slowly walking up behind me, but I'm too scared to look. They keep pressing their hands against my shoulder and face and it really gets to me even after I wake up.
For some reason something happens which has never before. This pony just opens the door I''m trying to get out of, then basically blows away the nightmare. You know like when you blow air into a cloud of smoke and it just fades away. The whole house sort of fades away and I'm just sitting in space. I wake up shortly after. I didn't WILD or anything because I wanted to write it down so badly. This pony was my hero, destroyer of nightmares. I've been trying to incorporate her into all my lucid dreams, sometimes it works, sometimes I just get too excited and wake up.
The next dream with her I sort of had started off as a nightmare. I remember being in space and hurdling towards some red-ish molten planet, then orbiting it. I have a bit of astrophobia, so I get dreams where i can't change directions and stuff in space pretty often. Suddenly i'm in a room that's in the center of the planet. I wasn't sure how I realized it, but in dreams you know stuff for no reason. I'm sitting in the corner and there are about a dozen shadowy figures. Every time I'd think of them they'd turn and face me like they could read my mind. Suddenly, my dream pony bursts through the wall. There is no sound but everything goes zero gravity. She just pushes her hoof out and it makes a shock wave that just makes the shadows dissipate, which I think came from DIablo (PC Game) or something. She looked so heroic and brave.
Last I remember I'm in a space station thing with a grassy field.
Her first words are like gibberish, and I have no idea what she said. '
"You're dreaming, stay with it"
I suddenly become Lucid and she smiles. I can't even describe it. I'm standing in front of this little orange pony that saves me from nightmares. I hug her tight and lift her off the ground. She felt sort of warm, proof my dreams are cheesy. Lasted about 15ish seconds before gravity became heavy and I dropped her.
I have some questions, but I forgot most of them, so I just ask anything I could think of. I ask what she was, but when she was half way through answering I faded away and woke up. I tried to do WILD to get back into lucid dreaming but I was too excited.
Mirrors are one of those things that just don't combo well with dreams. Pretty much every dream involving a mirror turned into a nightmare. All you need to remember is that its all a dream and that nothing can actually hurt you. I tend to think of some cartoon characters when I need to stray away from nightmares, they usually just appear and remind me that none of this is actually real.
Triggering Lucid dreams is pretty inconsistent, but when you start doing it more, it becomes more common. Practice looking at your hands every so often in real life, and you may do it as a reflex in a dream. When you notice an oddity, you'll realize your lucidity.
I eventually named her Haven, mostly because she was like a Safe Haven from my nightmares. I've used the username RogueHaven for awhile now, that's the reason why.
I think mid-april I had another dream. I was sitting on a blue water lily pad, one with tables and chairs and an outdoor cafe. I become lucid and sort of 'call' Haven, being the cheesy man I am I sort of shout her name and lift my arm up into the air. She rises from the water and floats next to me, replying with a simple anti-climactic "Yes?"
I ask "How long?" meaning how long I have in the dream
"A minute"
I ask her the few questions I can remember. "What are you" I ask
"I think I'm a nightmare." Her voice sounds telekinetic, like shes not actually speaking, but I can hear her. I got a bit scared because I thought it would involuntarily turn into a nightmare, but nothing sort of happened. She just stared at me. "Aren't you just part of my mind, why aren't you like the other Nightmare?" I ask. She just smiles
"I was a nightmare, I just want to protect you, squishy."
I remember a clanging/static noise before I work up. I had a dream straight after, but it was unrelated.
In November 2014 I had another. It started in the shower in one of the houses I had when I was 8. It had a huge window in the front with no curtains, so at night it terrified me. I do a reality check and look at my hands and notice 7 fingers. I regain my lucidity and Haven sort of appears in front of me, no flash or anything. "Hey, do you ever sleep?"
"I slept a good while, but seeing you is always my dream. Dreams are unpredictable. Don't you worry, I would never let you hurt me"
She was alot smaller in this dream, and she moved sort of like the Ghosts in Thir13en. A bit unsettling but not scary. Don't want to give an example, the actual scene is really gorey.
She came closer and put her arms over my shoulders, like a hug. Then it suddenly ended
I haven't had any other dreams of her since. I haven't really had any other dreams of her either. I'll most likely put some artwork of her in my profile if you want some. I can't do art like I used to before, so I haven't done stuff recently. Will most likely request stuff later though.
Thanks to Lockerobster for the pencil sketches
