    Lucid Dreams

    1. The first nightmare.

      by , 11-01-2012 at 12:33 PM
      In my dream, my sister is having nightmares that seem to get worse when I'm there. We are both on a bus, and we start out talking and as I glance around, everything seems fine and the bus if filled with cute guys. Suddenly I look over to my left and there are three sinister men wearing black suits and shades. I am unnerved and mention them to C, but as I turn around to mention them to her I realise that the cute guys from before are gone and behind us there are more frightening men in suits. One of them sits down beside me and I jerk away. I see that Cathy is terrified and for some reason I am too so I suddenly wish a trapdoor would just open up under us so taht we could escape; and it does, making us tumble out onto a wide, black asphalt road with tenebrous forests on either side. By this point I've realised that C is afraid of the dark, and she's made me afraid too, so I think "Sh** this is black too" and C screams as another man dressed in black appears by some shrubs.

      The next thing I remember, C is holding my DS and with it is trying to eject me from the nightmare/game/whatever I thought it was. She seems distraught and adamant about getting me out of the game/nightmare. I step onto the DS and the next thing I remember I believe I have woken up but am still in the dream.
      -x-
      In the same dream, I am in another of C's nightmares which starts out fine, in a jungle with colourful and zany creatures in it. C suddenly tells me that she fears sheep and as I look around for sheep in the jungle, sheep are there. Small ones, large splayed ones, colourful yet malign sheep hybrids. The quantity of bright disorientating beings around me multiplies as we run, making me feel ill and feverish and inducing fear and the belief that I am making this nightmare worse by being in it. I whip my head around and come face to face with a dingy, yet also sickening neon green, purple and blue zombie girl. The shock makes merealise that I am dreaming. Yet I am still terrified and cannot seem to banish the creatures. C yells 'I know!'and we keep running until the surroundings melt ito white; I am too disorientated to pick up details. My DS is on the floor again and C is agitated and tries to force me out of the nightmare with the DS. I wake.


      I normally don't update my DJ but this is a rather significant dream for me. This is my first nightmare in years; I'm not sure if I should class it as a nightmare or not because I don't know what a nightmare should feel like and I did awaken feeling a bit frightened.

      I would love some outside opinions on analysing the dream.

      Notes:

      I have also had other dream fragments that are unrelated to this dream.

      C told me once that she used to have frequent nightmares as a child and she was able to naturally lucid dream and instead of trying to control the dream, she would use a red button on her wrist to escape and awaken. I think the DS console was similar to that button defense mechanism and it was brought about by C being in the dream and my mind remembering the comment she'd made about the button on her wrist, and as I've not had a nightmare in years I think C was a guide for me and helped me to escape.

      C's (and my) fear of black, although odd is not irrational and could have been caused by my darkening my room before sleep last night rather than leaving the shutters open and it was unnerving. The fear of sheep, however, seems completely irrational as I'd never been afraid of them in RL. The Bus could have been brought about because the night before I had taken a bus with my two sisters and C's boyfriend at night, and I realised that public transport was so stifled and lifeless, with the people on the bus not acknowledging each others' presence, but I also thought it was very relaxing. The fear of the dark could also be due to the fact that I had gone trick-or-treating last night in the dark and cold and on occasion wondered if I was dreaming; an odd occurrence seeing as I've barely been doing RCs and so have not had many LDs.

      I think C could be the side of me that is afraid of things, and that is why when she became frightened by the black and the sheep I subsequently became frightened too.

      I would love some opinions.
      Thanks,

      I am lucid and in my living room. I have a shakespeare performance coming up in real life and I think, 'Hey, why not practice here where no one can hear me?' I say my lines for the Duchess of York, like 'Bloody thou art, bloody will be thy end' and I bore myself.

    3. First full LD- vivid clarity

      I have just moved to a new town, where my family and I have moved into a drab, grey apartment. I went next door to visit the neighbors, and to offer to babysit to earn some pocket money.
      For some reason, I realised I was dreaming (Light switch failure?) and suddenly the world around me burst into colour, green paint lining the room and cyan skies above. Everything was so vibrant and vivid. I spin around to increase clarity as the scene changes and I jump out the window.
      I attempt to fly, but fail and freefall to the ground. I land with little impact, by an abandoned warehouse by a lime green field and try to materialise a broom. One appears, but I cannot fly.

      I give up and head out across the fields into town. I see hordes of civilians rushing somewhere, and I want to find out why so I run with superspeed to catch up. I gain tunnel vision and everyone else around me are blurs in slow motion. I join the crowd and run ahead to the front where a little brunette girl names pandora is dancing, skipping and selling her charms as the villagers follow behind her. I'm not too impressed and I hold out my hand with the intent to create some charms. Suddenly I feel as if weighted objects are tumbling out of my hand and into my hand, as long, lime and rose green tubes charms appear in my hand, almost jumbled masses before they form into charms.
      I try to create something else, but black liquid oil pours into my hands and a bystander claims that it is liquid chakra.
      ----

      I am in a comfy, rustic log cabin with a roaring fire and musky green sofas. Some of my friends are there. I tell Skye that she is dreaming andshe looks shocked, mutters "oh crap" and fades away. Kyra doesn't believe me, even after I grow an extra arm and can see myself in the third person, almost ghostly.
      I grow bored and soon find the world fading so i spin and walk into a grey room with machinery. Wake.

      I am in a communal home, as there are a lot of people walking around. I am going out to visit the fields. I am walking down a large, dirty, damp spiral staircase that reminds me of a dungeon. I am with a slimy green humanoid creature. I reach the end of the staircase where it abruptly stops, and there is a sheer drop below. It is a massive cavern, with scientist labs dotted on columns rising from the depths. I turn and try to go back upstairs. I am scared of falling through the staircase as I climb. Because I am afraid of falling, I really do fall through the floor. I am falling, and panicking as I can't see much around me. I then think that if I'm going to die, I may as well enjoy the ride. I start to enjoy the fall, and all of a sudden my surroundings change and I am falling over a soft, blurry space of grey dotted with flecks of colour. I then stop falling suddenly, and I float as if in limbo. I realise that this is unrealistic, and I realise that I must be dreaming. I panic, then try to fly. Below me there is an expanse of grey with small dull coloured rectangles below me. It looks like cars stuck in traffic.
      I wake up.
