lucid

I haven't had any good Lucid dreams of late, most I had lasted only until a couple of seconds after realizing it was a dream, but this one was different.

Non lucid / Lucid

The first thing I remember is me getting a package I ordered online, it was a package containing laptop parts, but also iPhone parts.
I was thinking about upgrading my laptop with the parts when I started becoming suspicious, I just ordered the parts and they were already delivered.
So I did the nose pinch reality check that I do as often as possible, mostly when I think something strange occurs, it worked it was a dream
After realizing I started rubbing my hands to stabilize the dream, afraid it wouldn't be enough I also looked at my hands, which looked pretty normal, but after looking for a few seconds they started deforming and I felt that the dream was stable enough to continue. I found myself somewhere outside in my street (I didn't pay any attention to the scenery switch at the time), I went on walking, thinking of things to do. I came across some plants and inspected the leaves, they seemed so real, when I looked very close I could see more tiny details on the leaves then I probably ever could with my eyes in real life. Before continuing on I stabilized the dream again by looking at my hands until I felt I could continue.
Next up was flying, I wanted to fly and so I did, I flew about 5 meters up in the sky and went back to the ground being afraid I would wake myself up, but I wanted to fly higher than the buildings I wanted to look over the entire neighborhood, so I flew again straight up, this time about 15 meters, just above the buildings. I could look over a lot of houses, and in the distance there was nothing there but sky. (as in a video game where the map has not yet been loaded) I realized this and was again afraid the dream would end so I went back to the ground and decided to walk around a little.
I kept thinking to myself "This is a dream" because I was afraid I would lose lucidity if I didn't. I came across streets with lots of Dream Characters, to my regret I didn't interact with any of them, I just observed and continued walking.
When I came to the park I saw an empty bench and I decided to summon someone to it to interact with, because the park was very empty at the moment, I looked away from the bench and back expecting someone to be there, and there was. It was a unknown girl, who I do not recognize other than the slight representation of Kurisu from Steins;Gate
I went over to talk but as I got closer the dream started to fade away very quick, and I found myself back in my bed, trying to DEILD but to no avail.

This is as much as I can vividly remember, although I'm pretty sure there was more going on as I walked through the streets, as I started to think to myself "This is the longest lucid dream ever" during the walks in the dream.

This entry will be a little bit different, they will be entries from lucid dreams that I had before I even knew what lucid dreaming was (I was about 8-12 years old back then, which is about 10 years ago now).

Dream 1:
This is the first lucid dream I ever had as far as I can remember, it probably also was the most vivid and long lucid dream I ever had and remembered even until this day. Its quite ironic that the only thing I thought about doing back then was waking up.

I remember walking in a mall, and there was nobody close that I knew so I got scared and thought I was lost. Somehow I became lucid and just knew it had to be a dream, still being scared I just had to wake myself up, but how? I didn't know.
So I went around asking different DCs if they knew how I could wake myself up, but nobody knew. Eventually there was a nice older man that wanted to help me really bad (Dream guide?), so he took me to a place that was a little higher then the rest of the mall, and he shouted to other DCs walking below, asking if anybody knew how to wake "this boy" up... But still nobody knew. I said that I shouldn't be worried and that we would find a way to wake me up. This calmed me down.

Dream 2:
I have a very vague memory of this dream, and I only remembered it after reading my own post about the previous dream.

It was at a train station, there were a lot of people and we were all waiting for our train, somehow I knew it was a dream (I have no idea how I knew this back then). This time I wasn't scared and wanted to test what it was like to die in a dream, and I thought that it would probably just wake me up. So I stepped on the railway and I saw the train coming.
After a little while as the train came closer, I decided not to do it because what if it wasn't a dream o.o . I was lifted off the railway by one of the DCs, and he also said it was probably better if I didn't do it.
This is when the dream faded away and I found myself back in my bed, this is the first lucid dream where I actually noticed the transition.


After remembering these dreams I wonder how many more lucid dreams I have had in the past that I don't remember.

Not lucid - Lucid

I don't remember the starting dream very well but I know I was at a street of a good friend (which I visit quite a lot) but the street was closed at the end so I had to walk around it, I then noticed that all the other streets where closed at the end too (they had build extra houses at the end).

I thought it was strange so I did the nose pinch RC and I could still breath so it was a dream, but I had wondered during the day if that means that your real breathing is the one in your dreams (which it probably is) so I paid attention to my breathing and I felt my real body (What I experienced as my real body) which made the dream instantly fade.

I did the regular DEILD method next, just laying still I noticed that I still had my dream arms (I could move them very easily), so I started rubbing them together to make the use of my dream bodies senses and before I knew it I could actually see my hands and I got out of my bed.

Which was a false awakening, I luckily thought doing the nose pinch RC again but this time not paying attention to my actual breathing. I noticed the dream was very vague so I paid attention to my left hand and the more I paid attention to it the sharper it got. Until I could spot some birthmarks on the inside of my finger (which I don't actually have) and there was a weird line through my vision like with a old VCR where the tape has been damaged, But the sharpness of my hand amazed me.

As soon as it was sharp/clear enough I continued to walk through my house, I walked downstairs where my family was but I remembered I should summon a sword for my dreamgoal but I didn't care enough and was too fascinated by the vividness of it all, I went back up the stairs again to look for fun things to do... when the dream vaded. My vision was gone but I could still feel the floor onder my feet so I knew I just had to stabilize. I rubbed my hands again and when I could see them I would look at them closily to regain vivedness again. I still had the birthmarks on the inside of my middlefinger so I thought lets continue the dream and do my dream goal.

But before I could start it vaded too fast to do anything about it and I woke up for real this time.


I also remembered myself writing down a Call of Duty like dream that I had, but when I checked my dream journal there was nothing there. So I actually dreamed about writing in my Dream Journal.
