I changed night to day stabilized the dream handrubbing
I went to a concert and train station there was people with guns aswell

It seems that we've made quite a leap last night regarding DR, in the end I was able to note down a total of 6 dreams!
This means that my DR, if it remains stable with atleast 4 dreams a night we can soon start practising some induction techniques, I never really thought it to be very effective to try and have LDs right away when you don't have sufficient DR yet.

1. The exam

I'm in my old schools canteen with most of the other students in their last year, it's exam which isn't that uncommon to take place in the canteen. However this isn't a normal exam from the school itself, it is the entrance exam I talked about in my 'welcome back' post. Once it's over I meet up outside infront of the canteen with some of my classmates who talk about how difficult it was but somehow I already know my results and I've passed. Then it starts raining and I walk home with a girl I know from school but don't really have (had) any interaction with.

2. Secret factory

I'm aproaching an Industrial looking building which turns out to be a garage or factory of some sorts, there's a lot of workmen around and I know this area is actually restricted for me but for some reason I have to be there for something important, you could say I'm some sort of spy.
In the beginning I don't actually try to sneak around I just walk through a large open room where men are working and nobody seems to notice me, then again I just look like any other person so I'm not too worried about them getting suspicious yet. Then the dream jumps forward and I'm sneaking around avoiding to be seen by anyone. I think I'm eventually cornered which causes the dream to go blury and skip to the next one.

3. Lost at sea

I'm in a rowing boat in the middle of the ocean, in the boat itself are besides me a few wooden boxes and a paddle which I use to navigate.
It doesn't take long before it starts raining, at first I'm not too worried about it and just sea the ocean surface rippling from the rain but then I notice my boat is filling up with water from said rain. I try to scoop it out using a muck that floated around in the boat itself but it's too late and the front of the boat starts to lower under the ocean level and the whole thing just sinks. I panick for a bit and jump out and somehow quickly turn the thing around which makes all the water fall out and I'm good again!

4. NOT Interstellar

I'm watching some kind of film which seems very similar to IRL Interstellar, only the space ship is much smaller and there are 6 crew members instead of 4. And the main protagonist is a woman instead of Matthew McConaughey. The space ship falls into a wormhole but the whole experience and special effects are not nearly as good as in the real film, it all feels a bit dull and low budget.

5. Contraband

I'm working with two dudes who drive a truck and they want to smuggle two small packages, the packages are not heavy and quite small, about the size and mass of the average cat. We try to hide them on the most stupid places, like on the roof of the truck or the side almost in plain sight. The duane quickly spots it every time but gives us some sort of second chance with a small warning and we try again. Then one of the packages is placed on top of the cabin which for some reason is a bad spot and I have to take it off there while we're driving. So I'm Climbing along the side of the truck which is shaking violently back and forward and nearly fall off, then I manage to place my food just above the wheel when suddenly the dream ends.

6. The dive

I'm with my family driving somewhere in Brazil on a road that runs along the shore line on an extremely high cliff, it's at the very least a 100 meter drop straight down to the water. After some time when we make a curve I climb on the roof of the car and jump into the depth, just like that!
After a while I splash down just next to a tiny Island that has palm trees on it, I swim towards it but I'm picked up by a police boat and taken to prison.
There I somehow know that I'm facing a 6 month sentence and my family comes and visits me with cake.

The first thing I was able to see is two police officers in a SVU show talking. I must have been in third person point of view as I became in 1st person shortly after. My brother and I were seeing this cop show playing and we realize it had started from the beginning. So I told my brother I would fast forward the clips as there were some scenes I didn't care to see. The remote controller was refusing to work properly, instead of fast forwarding it simply pause. Not too long after I have an FA and during this transition I began to realize that I had been dreaming all along.

That's when the transition had end and I awoken to find myself in the bed. I was in my father room and could tell a few things were different how it usually look. Outside was dim but when it shine through the window it made it darker than usual. I figure I must still be dreaming. There was a mirror all the way at the end of the bed. I can see an apple underneath my mouth near the top of my neck. I get off the bed, my dream memories told me that I had fallen asleep with this and apple and now it has become apart of me.

With some effort I manage to pull the apple out. I rather eat apples not wear them. I then toss it on the carpet and found my way back to the bed. I notice that one of the covers I usually sleep in was missing. Suddenly I wake up. Lucidity Time: 52 seconds

I never Lucid Dreaming before, I heard people saying the they could fly and control their dreams sometimes, and I was never able to do any of that. So here goes nothing!

Read a little bit about the "Starter Tips" and tried to recite the mantra before sleeping, also did a quick reality check by counting my fingers and trying to touch the palm of the hand with my thumb. Thing is, I remember dreaming that I was walking in the street near home that I always walk by when I go to work! And in the dream I did the same RC and nothing out of the ordinary happened! Haha I counted my fingers to 10 and couldn't "pierce" my hand using my other thumb... so in the dream I didn't know I was dreaming and only realized that after waking up! Weird huh?

+ need to play in concert, and read a text as well, I'm wondering how I'll do both on stage at the same time. I ask conductor (MSK) when rehersals will be, he says "soon enough"

+ playing music lying on back on ground, the music is a syncopated 8th note rhythm: "DUT dut DUT DUT dut DUT dut" repeated, looking up at white ceiling (in bathroom?), some ceiling spots are dirty with a black spotted mildew-looking pattern, wipe black spotted dirt off, some guy concerned about (gremlins?) underneath us, I twist and turn trying to see what is underneath me and have trouble turning very much

+(f) practicing martial arts in a class, can't kick/land, I'm off balance

+ circular bar, sitting around it with a group, a DV friend forwarded email to forums containing my real name in the headers without removing it, revealing my identify, I'm very upset, and I keep thinking about this for a long time.

Outside in a large open area, I've done something good for a woman, she offers me a choice as a reward of <something> or a BJ. I hmm and haw and go back and forth "I guess a BJ would be pretty cool" but I'm not really into it seriously. We're standing outside and I'm embarassed. We're standing up against something (large chair, small fence?).

Spoiler for explicit sexual activity:

She opens my trousers and starts slurping on my schlong, which is flaccid, I feel it and it's good but I'm just not into it. She's doing it for a while and I'm still not getting hard, and I'm thinking of a way to politely stop her without hurting her feelings "Oh this just happens sometimes."

+ dark, outside, aggressive/angry man throwing rocks at me, I confront him, he's angry and approaches me threateningly, he seems to have an endless supply of small/medium sized rocks in pockets in his pants, he keeps throwing, I back off, frightened, I'm blocking with my hands, I feel the rocks smacking off of my palms, then 3-4 fireman coming from a building to the left, see the situation, rush the guy and tackle him hard to the ground, I'm happy, and make some positive comment about union workers.

+ epic: The Diva:

I arrive at a large building, outside, (there are young hipsters on stairs leading in to the building?), inside, in a row of seats, I sit next to the lovely "Diva", we make out sensuously and I rub my groin up against her leg and feel my self getting hard and think she notices it too.

I notice to the left and above us, 3-4 of my high school buddies (looking like they did in HS) have arrived, I particularly clearly see N and DD. I explain that DD was my best friend in Jr High because one year we had every single class together, from first period through 9th period. I say this a few times and a random DC sitting nearby is amazed.

I'm flying through the theater which is a large open area with tall columns, I will myself to fly faster and faster, swerving around.

I'm in a (hotel room?) with (the Diva and some others/) in bed, closely examining delicate, intricate small carvings from a white-ish ivory-like material. I run my fingers over the one I'm holding, amazed at the detail, say "it's like ivory." One of them is like a fish or bird with intricately carved miniature scales/feathers. There are a lot of little protuberances on the objects.

I'm walking outside the theater, look into a room and see a group of people seated around a table. I think this must be the Diva's/theater's staff meeting. I see a few women I "recognize" and try to catch their eye and nod in recognition to them.

Inside (the meeting room?), the diva's public relations staff is there, they say that I'm the Diva's official 3rd choice (of lover/man) (this is still a great honor). Such candidates must sign an extensive contract, I see large numbers like "4,000,000" there are many words, the contract places really egregious restrictions on the man. I don't want to sign. I see another man holding and reading the contract, he is trying to heavily modify it to be more in his favor, I think if he can do that so should I.

They're telling this man one of the conditions is to wear a small wireless network dongle and to tell them all of the websites you visit, then this device will capture all the contents of these web sites. I do not want to have to do this.

I decide this is a bad deal for me, and I want to leave without being noticed. While the public relation agents are busy with another guy, I sneak off to the end of the room and around the corner. I need to quickly put on my shoes and my socks, but my socks have been modified and I can't fit them on my feet, they've woven extra threads which block the main hole of the sock, I pull hard and break through these threads. There is another strange (bra-like?) plastic device attached to the socks.

I make a break for it out the room and down the hall to the stairway. At the stairwell some people are in my way preventing my progress. I make my way around to the top of the stairs but I think I'm out of time: someone's coming from the room. I see a (piano? narrow desk?) with barely enough room to fit under, I get down in there, it's a poor hiding place, if anyone's seriously looking for me they'll find me, but maybe if they go the other way they won't see me. I see the legs of someone approaching on a (scooter? Segway?), they stop and face me, I know they've spotted me.

(wake up? Think about the dream, and re-enter picking up where I left off?)
The Diva(? or a small girl?)) flies out of the building in a candy airplane (racing other girls in candy vehicles?) through a dangerous amusement park of her mother's creation.
Some of the attractions has her breaking through weak barriers. The girl says this is the first time she's done this. Her mother told her that (it's possible to get hurt?)

I was with S. We were at a ski resort. (Being at weird ski resorts used to be a dream sign of mine. He was driving this weird vehicle that was sort of like a snowmobile, but it could also cross water like a Jet Ski (as the title implies.)

I remember we were doing some kind of filming thing for our youtube channel, that in the dream, we had started, but we had to go to one of the other resort lodges to do so. We were with someone else as well, I think S's friend who we can call L. He started taking us out over the water when he unzipped a large duffel bag. In it was mostly clothes and towels, but he also had his laptop computer in there.

I remember he took it out, and dipped it in the water partway. He told me he wanted to wipe all the software while keeping the computers' essential functions working, and that what he was doing was not going to permanently kill his computer. I was a skeptic but it worked.

We got off of the lake and started going downhill along one of the ski runs. I remember that almost nobody was on the hill. There might have been one or two skiers, but it was basically deserted, despite being perfect weather for the sport.

We stayed on the move for several minutes, mostly moving downhill through a maze of runs and chairlifts. I became semi-lucid at one point and was wondering why the dream was deserted. I was also wondering why my dad wasn't present in the dream, he's always present in these ski dreams, and usually they are one of the few times he isn't an annoying DC.

I then remember S took us through this half-pipe. I remember complimenting him that he was really good at driving this thing. After we came out of the half pipe we arrived at another ski lodge building. This one much smaller than the other. We got off the snowmobile and went to the front door to meet with our film crew, but we were locked out. S admitted that he was actually completely lost.

L and I decided to just enjoy the view. The view was that of some huge swiss-alps type mountains. We couldn't see very far because it was cloudy. S got out a map and started trying find our way back.

High School Reunion
I'm watching some massive waves coming through. I'm unsure if I'm in the water or just a spectator.

I'm at a shopping centre and I see a few people from my school. I think there's meant to be a high school reunion.

I'm at a water slide and there's a lot of people waiting. I feel as if it's going to be a while before I get to go down. I see my brother. He goes down with 6 others in short breaks between sliders. There's a baby that goes down. He grips to the slide a bit, but eventually gets going down the slide. I'm in the slide somehow, maybe to help the baby go down the slide. I try to climb back up the slide and struggle doing so, but get to the top eventually. I sit back in line for my shot.

Im at a pub drinking with some of the guys from high school.

A Different Looking YCW
I'm at YCW surf beach but it looks different. Everyone is instructed to get out of water and move to the other beach which is only about 20 meters away on the opposite side of the sand. The waves are big and thick. They're breaking instantly. The waves are are forming from a man made wall that's keeping the water in. The water is rebounded off of it and instantly forming a big wave and breaking. I see a lot of young kids sitting under the wave, letting it break on top of them. I find this crazy. I figure it out after a few waves that it's fake. The whole wave is like a hologram, and the scene changes still has the wave and kids. I see the waves in the distance, they're coming from different angles then normal.

Dave and maybe Josh are have found a frisbee and are throwing it to one another. We're not the best at throwing. We can't seem to find the right amount of power in our throws. The scene changes to my house. They're in my bedroom throwing the frisbee. Dave throws it and it goes into the laundry. I struggle finding it and eventually find that it went under the door and is outside. I bring it back in and throw the frisbee to Dave, who is on the bed.

I'm in the water with Josh and Daryl, and it looks to be getting dark. I see a guy in the distance swimming.

I'm on dry land now and Daryl wants to buy some weed. I tell him that it's a silly idea considering that he hasn't smoked in over a month due to having to get a medical for work soon. He tells me he has passed it before and will pass it again. I tell him it's not worth the risk because of the situation his in with money, and really needs the job. Daryl seems to be getting a bit pissed off, but I continue giving him the tough love. Also it surprised me that Josh wasn't backing me up and he was almost giving him suggestions on how to get some weed.

We're now walking in a strange area, which looks similar to terminator 2 scene where they're getting chased by the truck through the sewer. I'm walking up top on a small ledge and the others are on down below. They seem to be thinking the way I'm going will be blocked by something. I
noticed that it's a clear path for me, and that it had been removed. I get to a end and look down. There's a way of getting down but it's tricky. I see lines appear, showing me the way. It feels like I'm in a video game. Without any logical thinking, I jump and try and land on one of the safe spots. As I'm floating down, it feels like gravity isn't normal, as I seem to have more time to try land correctly.
I'm now a video character, a small red looking creature I think. I land in a good spot, but the danger isn't over. I've got to continue find safe spots which confuses me, as I feel rushed and don't exactly know where to jump to. I feel as if I'm getting close to end but get stuck. My health starts depleting and I'm not looking too good. I still feel I'm able to make it, but end up dying.

I wake up in a small room. There's a radio in the room with someone talking. Im imprisioned. A man comes into the room but unsure what he said or did. I look outside and notice there is a path of water drops on the balcony. One of the other characters must have reached the Safe zone and left the evidence behind.

Morning of July 19, 2015. Sunday.



After smoothly moving into blissful sleep paralysis after love-making, the “portal” begins to form, the thin short glowing lines (some moving as if racing with others in pairs) and asterisk-like sparks coming together into forming the usually generic city streets setting, by far the most common rendering of origin in the last ten years or so. I am too integrated to be pulled back by a hypnic jerk (as is often the case where my first very short lucid dream of many nights is of walking on a sidewalk and eventually tripping somehow and falling forward, with an intense body-wide sensation before I begin to integrate back towards the flow of a new dream creation) and am soon in my dream’s incomplete setting and where parts of the street are not yet rendered. I also had not scripted a dream concept the previous evening so I relax my focus as in a semi-lucid dream.

Shortly, letting my thoughts wander, I begin to remember a brief previous focus on an old dream titled “Yakety Yak” (August 11, 1974) which featured Mad Magazine’s “Spy vs. Spy” character heads and which I had posted on tumblr earlier. As I have learned, it does not take much for a dream to form out of a very short time period (even with full lucidity) involving the focus on even a very old dream or a brief glance at an insignificant and impersonal article in a old newspaper (as with another recent dream).

A white 1974 Cadillac Coupe DeVille convertible comes into the scene from my left side, seemingly driving north relative to my dream’s implied orientation, but south based on my conscious afterthought concerning my house’s orientation, based primarily on the transition of direction from living here as opposed to living in Wisconsin in America (as it seems a bit like a La Crosse setting), something that is fairly common in dreams that utilize La Crosse settings, and which also make some composites a bit ambiguous in directional orientation (assuming a particular dream does not rotate house layouts and features ninety degrees, or sometimes also symmetrically mirror them).

There is some sort of confusion with names; “Coupe DeVille” warping into “Cruella de Vil” and I briefly falsely recall that this character is Cruella de Vil in a pointless “aha” moment. I soon realize that this is not the case and that, regardless of my lucidity, it is typical invalid word association gibberish, as the Spy driver is male.

Soon, however, Spy is not Spy at all, but is now my Revell SnapTite Pteranodon Model from around this same time period (age 13), though there is some transient ambiguity during my focus on the eerie similarity of the heads. As I focus on the memory of how the model’s head swiveled about in reality, its head begins spinning as it is driving (although there is a brief period where the Spy/Pteranodon seems to be shaking his head “no”). Eventually, in spinning so fast, it becomes a helicopter rotary propeller, spinning faster and faster, creating a slight sense of in-dream vertigo as the car and the head smoothly transform into a helicopter, which rises in the air and flies away, leaving a sense of awe but soon decaying into abstract hypnopompic forms.

Just writing to update about what happened tonight. It is currently 4:34 AM on the 4th night of my attempts to Lucid dream. I was attempting this method: https://www.reddit.com/r/LucidDreami...e_time_for_me/ and the strangest thing happened: the alarm didn't wake me up. I am not what one could say a "heavy" sleeper and majority of the time I am woken up by alarms. I still woke up, but it was at a different time then I was supposed to. I made the decision to stay up for the rest of the day in an attempt to rob my body of further REM cycles, so that they can be more potent the next day (this is another method I heard about) or so that I may be able to have a lucid dreaming if I decide to take a nap today.

With group of friends we were going back from a party. It was late at night, but we could see everything. We were walking down the road leading nowhere. It was empty and silent, but we were in good moods.

I looked to the left, and saw a huge power plant. It was newly built, but covered with smog already. I was sure that I'd suffocate if we had to go through it.

Suddenly we were teleported to a forest, near a huge river. There was a ranger talking about some kind of mining works underneath the river. He also said that they don't really know what they are doing. We crossed the river by walking on water.

Then we were back on the road. The power plant was still standing, though the smog was denser. We wandered for a while, and a friend got a call. He said to someone that we are going to a shop.

It was a wooden hut, probably built with larch wood. We entered it, and got teleported into Bonehoard from Thief:Gold. It was a complex of catacombs and crypts, forgotten by everyone.

We climbed down a rope, and got attacked by zombie, which in fact was my sister. I ran quickly past her, enduring scratch to an arm, and called friends to a shelter. The zombie ate one of us, and nearly killed another, but we escaped.

7.18.15

slept from 1:30 - 9:45

My alarm woke me up from this awesome dream.

I look up and one of the stars starts to smoke and sparkles are flying off like when someone is welding. Piece of it starts falling down rather fast and we watch it change direction towards us. We realize it's an attack. I rush to hide behind a building and I just make it when I see it the ground and the shock wave is coming fast.

I see others do the same. Another star missile is coming and I rush to another location to hide. I realize if the shockwave is strong enough, it will bring down the building on me, and sure enough, chunks of concrete are falling all around me.

The missiles are hitting hard and fast.

Dream jumps ahead and after the attack people are deciding what to do and scrambling to get home.

I'm leaving too. I find an opening in the wall and start walking away and I come to a modern building. Door is opened and I see a large lobby with tiles and brightly lit. I know why nobody else is going that way. Its some kind of an agency nobody wants to mess with. But I have no choice, I have to go through it to the other side.

I'm walking the hallways when I hear footsteps. i duck into an office when I hear that person sighing and returning. So I go around so she doesn't see me. It's exciting. And here is when the alarm wakes me up : (

This is the 4th night I have become interested in becoming lucid in my dreams; I have also decided to restart my dream journal into this site. My other 3 nights have been unsuccessful in becoming lucid in my dreams, I have even failed to remember my dreams for the past 3 nights. This suggests that I need to work on my dream recall more before I even have a lucid dream. Here are the techniques that I used when attempting to LD my previous nights; understand that before these days I have had no experience with LDing whatsoever and am complete newbie to this:

1. FILD
2. DILD
3. DILD
4. Tonight I plan to use a method found on reddit, I will post the link below

Here is the link to the technique I plan to use tonight: https://www.reddit.com/r/LucidDreami...e_time_for_me/
It reminds me of the WBTB method quite a bit but seems more directed in a sense, I will see how it goes tonight.
