lucid

29/8/2015

Didn't try tonight as went out and got back very late and very drunk.
Had a couple of short DILDs in the night but couldn't be bothered to write them down and not much happened in them anyway.


30/8/2015


I'm aware I'm Dreaming as a Dream forms, I'm standing high up on a massive container ship out to sea.
I can move but don't have full control of my body, I can't put my arms out in front of me or move them at all, so I'm not fully in my body yet.
I move over to some rails and leap over them to get to another deck below, it's about a 20 foot drop and I get that falling sensation in my stomach as I fall.
I land on some containers and then walk to the edge of them and leap off, again falling about the same distance onto the lower deck.

I now feel fully inside my body and can move everything properly, the Dreams getting a little hazy so I clap and rub my hands fast, I also shout and try and ground the Dream.
I feel as though I'm not in my usual body, my arms look different and my voice also sounds different.
I walk along a thin corridor along the side of the ship, it's daytime and sunny.
I pass a steal door with big clamps on but loose the Dream.


I come round still Lucid.
I'm in a shopping complex now, there are lots of people about.
I walk around a little and again feel as if I'm in a different body so look for a mirror.
I see a full length one a ways from me so walk over to it and look.
I'm in a Chinese/Asian woman's body!
She's about mid 20s to early 30s, good looking pretty face with jet black shortish hair.
Conservatively dressed wearing a long black skirt down to the ankles, black low heals, a grey jacket and some sort of scarf.

After looking at my new self for a moment I walk through the shopping centre and pass a pretty big stage set up for something.
I see a couple of my friends preparing for something on it so walk over and say hi and ask them what they're doing?
They say hi and start talking back but it's funny to see how they treat me so differently as to how they would if they knew it was me.
I lose the Dream quickly and wake up.


lasted about 3 minutes.
Pretty vivid but not the best.
Waking memory not all there, I knew what I was doing and was in full control of own actions (after the first 20 seconds or so) but didn't think of or attempt any goals.

Brilliant Lucid!


I'm sitting on my bed (non Lucid) looking at my iPad, it's not working properly and I think I might have damaged it.
I then think "I might be Dreaming", pinch my nose and can breath.


I get up and walk over to my window, push myself up onto the ledge but it hurts my stomach a little for some reason so I stop.
I try again but imagine myself lighter and it works, I go through the window and as my head pops through I see and then feel it's raining heavily.
This is the first Lucid I've ever had where it's naturally raining and I haven't made it so.
It feels great, I haven't made it rain in a while and forgot just how good it is, it sounds great also hearing it fall all around me.
My hair gets all wet, I look up at the sky and can feel the rain hitting my face, the clouds are very stormy looking and very dramatic.
I imagine lightning striking and flick out my right arm towards a part of the sky towards the top of the street and don't see any lightning but hear a crack of thunder.
I shout out lightning as I flick my arm again and this time get fork lightning shoot down from the sky in a slim forked streak.
I do it quite a few more times and it's brilliant!
They are all quickly followed by loud cracks of thunder like the storm is right above me and sometimes instead of just one streak I see lots fall from the sky.

The rain slows and abruptly stops so I decide to go behind the flats, not for the Stargate this time but to look across the open field and attempt this new goal I've been thinking of, just as I get a few feet though the Dream fades.

I come back round in the same place and I'm still Lucid so carry on towards the flats and instead of walking I try a quick fly using Jetpack and it works.
I only fly a few feet from the ground as I'm very nearly there, then land and look out over the field.
The field is all wet with big puddles all over it which is pretty cool I thought as it had just been heavily raining in my Lucid.
I put my hands out in front of me with clenched fists and imagine a detonation of a nuclear bomb in the distance, I then smash my fists together.
I see a little reaction towards the horizon and a small dust blast rolls across the field towards me but nothing very big so it's not very successful.

The Dream starts to fade and I lose it but then come back round in the same place.
Well I think it's the same place but as it forms I see where the wet, soggy field was is now a beautiful crystal clear, deep blue, flat calm sea!
In the distance there is Ancient Greek looking architecture and it all looks so beautiful!
The sun is shining in a clear blue sky with no clouds in sight, it's so vivid and colourful and I just start to laugh with joy, then run straight into the water and feel its warmth all over me.

I swim and splash around, then go under water which makes my eyes go blurry at first so I come back up as I don't want to lose the Dream.
I go back under again and can see fine, I breath in a lung full of water on purpose and can feel it all go into my lungs which feels strange but not bad.
I think about trying to see some turtles or exotic sea creatures as there's nothing in the water with me at all but then hear what sounds like someone's shouting, it's muffled by the water so I surface.
There's a guy on the bank where I was standing before but he's not shouting anything.
I get the impression a Shark might be in the water with me and someone was shouting because of that so look around but see nothing.
I then think that it would be great to see and swim with a shark so imagine one in the water with me and as I look around, see two big Sharks swimming together away from me!

I go underwater and swim over to them, I come up behind one of them and hold onto its tail and I slowly pull myself up its body, I know it can't hurt me but I'm still cautious of it snapping its head back and grabbing me.
I pull myself right up over it and it doesn't care at all, just keeps slowly swimming so I surface and they both surface with me.
They look really great! They're very colourful, more so than WL I think.
I run my hands along its skin and it feels like a wet wetsuit, which I suppose they might do in WL and it's another great experience, they look so real!

I want to see the ferocity of them so place my hand in the water by my side and imagine pulling out a fish, as I lift my hand I have a pretty good size one by the tail so throw it in the water next to them, hoping they'll go mad over it and start splashing around.
They go to it and eat it but they don't go mad, they just eat it casually.



I swim back to the bank and get out of the water, I look over towards the architecture in the distance and see there is also a high cliff over to my left, very high about 300 feet or so.
As things I've been trying have been working with the Sharks and fish I try my goal again.
I hold out my clenched fists in front of me and imagine a nuclear detonation, then smash my fists together and BANG!
This time I hear a huge explosion in the distance, followed by an intense bright white light.
Straight after that I see a massive dust cloud shock wave heading for me and can see it shooting out in a big arc from the centre of the explosion, it looks very cool!
It hits me and it's hard to see anything so I wait for it to pass to see if there's a big mushroom cloud, but as the dust settles there's only a hint of one.

I want to go up to the top of the cliff to get a better view and there's another guy here now.
I see there are ladders all the way up that look very old and dangerous so I think "ok let's go up them rather than try to fly" (because in WL I have a pretty big fear of heights and wouldn't go anywhere near these ladders and I often have trouble flying up high for some reason).
The guy wants to go as well and we walk to the bottom of the first ladder, it's not very wide at all, only about the width of one foot and I can see where the clips clipping it to the wall are starting to come lose.
The guy goes up first and I start climbing after him and as we start getting high it's still a little scary as it's so vivid, I know I can't die though so the fear makes it more fun and we continue up.

The guy gets his foot stuck and it freaks him out so he wants to go back down.
I'm just about to try and float from the ladder to let him pass but lose the Dream and wake up.



Excellent Lucid!
Got in usual way.
WL vivid with complete waking memory.
Pretty long, lasting about 15 minutes or so.
Woken up feeling great!

27/8/2015



I've been drifting on and off not Dreaming, I come round and can tell I'm nearly in.
I can hardly see anything at first but feel as though I'm standing up so put my hands out in front of me.
I start to see them but everything's still very dark, I count my fingers and only have the normal amount but I know I'm Dreaming.
I shake them about and then clap them quickly and the Dream brightens and clicks in properly around me.

I'm in my kitchen, it's night time but I can see as the kitchen light's on.
I still feel a little disconnected though so walk to the sink and turn on the tap.
The water runs out fine so I run my hands under it and it feels a little cold, I splash my face to try to enhance the Dream and it does make it better.

I get the feeling it's not going to be a very long Lucid as I know it's late and happening in my very last stage before I need to get up.
I go out my front door, around my hedge and walk down towards the bollards and as I get about halfway towards them I hear a plane in the sky.
I think to myself "it's probably going over my house in WL and I can hear it while sleeping".
I start to imagine it above me and imagine it low, as I look up a passenger airliner all lit up flies directly over me and it is pretty low, about 3000 feet or so and looks big.

I try to fly to catch up to it but fall to the ground, I try again but fail.
The plane flies into the distance so I carry on walking towards the bollards and try Jetpack technique to fly but no success.
I then try ironman technique for one last attempt and it works.
I lift a few feet from the ground and am only using hand thrusters as I float along into the street.
I then kick in my feet thrusters and get more lift, (I'm still upright at the moment) and I can really feel the power from the extra thrust.
I direct my hands behind me, then put my arms out behind me also and start to fly properly and really get some good speed, I try to go up high but for some reason I top out at only just over, about the roofs of the houses high.

I fly past R's house and think about going in her bedroom window to mess around a little but decide against it and then fly over her house and into the fields behind.
I lose the Dream shortly after and wake up.


Very vivid after the initial 20 seconds or so.
Good WM.
Lasted about 3/4 minutes.

25/8/2015

Didn't try tonight as had a late night and busy day.


26/8/2015


I'm trying to MILD/WILD in my Dream and I've been trying for a little while but feel awake, I imagine myself falling and feel myself go into a Lucid right away.
It's like I was always aware but only realise I'm Dreaming now.


I have a bit of sexy time before this lol, but I'll start my Lucid here.


I walk out of the room, down the stairs and go into the kitchen, the light's on but I start to lose the Dream.


I manage to come back round and am still Lucid.
I'm at G and Ps again so think ok let's go outside and I do, I walk down the path and out the gate, I see a matchbox laying on the floor and kick it.
It's night time but I can see by the streetlights fine as I walk down the road.
I use TK to bend one of the lampposts in front of me as I walk and it strains and bends right over, changing how it lights the road.
I then think I'll have a little fly and try to take off but struggle so I imagine ironman and lift off like him and it works, I'm a little unstable but I get good lift and some good speed.
After a little flight I loose the Dream again.


I come round in a non Lucid briefly where again I'm trying to MILD/WILD and I feel myself slip into another Lucid in the Dream, making me again realise I'm Dreaming.
I'm at G and Ps so walk outside and down the path, I see the matchbox again so I kick it again.
There are people in the street this time though but it's still nighttime.
There's a couple of guys talking and one of them rides off on a moped but the other guy's shouting for him to come back.
I use TK to stop him and as I concentrate the back wheel of his moped locks up and he skids to a stop.
The people watching are impressed so I say "watch this" and use TK to pick up, what looks like a light blue Corvette with some guy sitting in it.
I lift it high up into the air and then slowly lower it onto the top of a fence, balancing it length ways across the top.
They all look stunned so I leave them and walk out onto the main road.

I walk a little and as I approach the corner there is a nice sunrise, the shafts of light flickering through some trees and buildings.
I stop to look and see deep purples and reds, it looks really nice but not the best I've seen.
I walk towards a garage and think to myself I want to get somewhere nice, then as I round the corner of this building things start to change.

I can see more grass and the road has disappeared, I round it more and there are trees and it's also fully daytime now.
I'm somewhere very different and I call out and ask if anyone's here?
I get no response but I can hear myself perfectly, (in a lot of my older Lucid's I could always hear myself talk but it sounded like it was internal, in my latest Lucid's when I've talked I've heard myself like WL for some reason).

I look around and see a large treehouse, there's a boy on an outer balcony part of it, he looks a little different from a Human, though not enough to be sure.
I ask him where this place it?
He comes down from the tree house and as I look to my left there is a huge tree trunk, It's massive!
I back away to see how high this tree goes and it goes straight up into the sky, pretty much as far as the eye can see.
I then see there are lots of them, like giant redwoods but much bigger.
The boy comes over and I ask him what trees they are but I lose the Dream quickly and wake up.


Didn't get up for WBTB just read a bit on my IPad.
Usual technique worked a charm, drifted on and off a few times though before hitting REM.
Got multiple Lucid's again though so happy!

Totally real, full waking memory, fully in control of own actions.
Lasted about 10/15mins.

24/8/2015


I can feel I'm nearly in and start to see water all around me like I'm in a pool.
I can see my arms out in front of me and I'm in lovely, crystal clear water.
I can feel my arms are floating on the surface and then feel myself snap in fully as I clap my hands together quickly.
It's a very bright sunny day and I'm floating in, more of a clear lake than pool now and think to myself "it was hard getting Lucid tonight".
As I can tell it won't last long I just float and feel the warm water all over me, I can also feel the sun on my skin, it feels really nice and I slowly lift my arms out of the water, watching and feeling it slip out of my hands and back into the lake.

I swim a little to see if it feels like WL and it does but then go underwater and it makes my eyes go blurry for some reason, I try to keep it but lose the Dream.


Vivd but short, lasted just over a minute I'd say.
Struggled to get Lucid tonight for some reason, I think it's length is due to it being in the very last stage before I had to get up.
Waking memory good.

23/8/2015.


I can feel myself rocking so go with it and exaggerate it, I tip myself over, falling onto my front and feel as if I'm laying facedown somewhere.
After a few moments I can see my hands and I'm in!


I'm in my kitchen, it's very washed out though so I keep saying clarity, make it more vivid and stuff like that but I can't get it to look better.
I wrap a plastic bag I pick up from the side around my thumb trying to really feel it to help the Dream develop and it does get much clearer.

I'm in my kitchen so walk out the front door, I'm trying to take the bag off but it's wrapped really tightly and when I try to pull it hard, I feel my real body trying to move so I stop.
I leave the bag on and walk towards the bollards, when I get to them I look at them to see how much detail there is and I can see the concrete flaking and it looks perfect.
I look to the sky which is bright and blue, it's daytime and then I see a shooting star.
I imagine more and some more come so I imagine a huge meteor arc across the sky but only another small one does, still looks cool though.

I think ok let's go to the Stargate and try and get to Rome again so I go behind the flats, as I do I pass some bright red flowers, I grab them and smell them but they don't smell very strong so I discard them.
As I round the flats it's a little different than usual and because of this the Stargate isn't there, I walk up to it anyway thinking of Rome and walk through.
I'm now standing in a small pit but still behind the flats, it feels a little different though so I float out of the pit and walk out between the houses.
Before I can see where I am the Dream fades.


I come back round still Lucid in a room with no ceiling and walls made from irregular large stones, all painted or stained yellow.
It looks like some ancient setting (not Rome though) and I walk out into a much larger expanse.
Most of the large stones making up the walls have patruding Human faces carved onto them and the floor is made up of large square(ish) slabs coloured a more dark brown, they are painted with cool looking designs on each of them.

I walk towards what looks like the front of the building and can see from the distant landscape that I'm pretty high up.
There's a big opening in the walls and some steps going down, not very far down onto another big open area.
As I approach the stairs I see two big bowls of brown liquid, it looks like whiskey and I think about tasting it to see but then think maybe not.
I call out asking if anyone's there but get no response, so I walk down the stairs and start making my way across this long section towards the edge.

I can see there's a small wall at the end of this section I'm walking along, only about 4 feet high or so but it's blocking my view as I'm still a ways from it.
What I can see though in the distance is thick black smoke coming from the top of what looks like a Myan temple or pyramid of some kind.
I can also see an American type landscape with big sand coloured cliffs jolting up into the sky with flat tops (like you see in Westerns).
The sky is also quite sandy coloured, a mixture of yellows and reds blending together as the sun tries to shine through.

All of a sudden the black smoke drifts closer to me and as it does, I see it's actually made up of thousands of bees!
Thousands of them fly straight towards my face so I imagine an invisible protective shield around me and they all start hitting into it about 2 feet from me.
I call out again if anybody's there and this time hear a voice coming from behind me in the building I'd just come from but as I look back, can see no one.

I continue walking towards the edge but the bees are building up on my shield so much that it's hard to see, I'm just about to use a blast of energy to get rid of them but I lose the Dream and wake up.


Washed out at first but nice and vivid after the bag thing.
Complete waking memory and control over actions.
Lasted about 5/8 mins.

Just wanted to back log one from a couple of nights ago as I really enjoyed it.


20/8/2015

I can tell I'm nearly in as I feel like I'm standing up so I start to fall forward and get the falling sensation.
I put my hands out and get up, even though I can't see anything yet, I can feel my body and as I get up the Dream forms and I'm in.
I'm in my kitchen (surprise, surprise) so I walk into my living room and see if the picture of space is there this time.
It is and instead of picking it up I do what I thought of yesterday and run and try to jump into it, I try but land on the table and knock it over.
I go to jump into a bigger picture hanging on my wall but there's a different picture hanging there to what's there in WL so I don't bother as it's to abstract.

I go out the front of my house and try the zoom thing I wanted to try to get to space, I look at the floor and pinch my finger together trying to zoom me up into the air like zooming out with a phone but it doesn't work, I try a few times but get nothing.
I walk down towards the bollards but can feel the Dream slipping and I can't hold onto it and wake up.


Disappointing Lucid with not much done.
Lasted about 2/3 minutes.
WL vividness until the last 30 seconds or so as I could see and feel it slipping.



Now the good one



(2)

I'm in my kitchen and become Lucid as the Dream forms, I go out my back door and around the side by my pond, it's daytime and nice and sunny.
I try to imagine a phone in my pocket and pull it out to try the zoom out trick again.
I try fist just pinching my fingers together over the ground but it doesn't work, after imagining the phone I open google maps and then try but it doesn't work.

I then see if I can still lighten or darken the Dream so put out my hand and lift it slowly up.
It works, the scene gets much brighter and as it was bright already, it looks kind of washed out now so I slide my hand down to darken it.
I then try to make it night so do this again a few times each time making it darker and darker until night.
Now I know I can still do it I pull the light back to a nice sunny day and as I'm doing that I notice the field opposite me starts to change, there's a very large lake with lots of water lilies on it and it looks really nice glistening in the sun.

I now change my goal and decide to just explore this instead so I jump over my fence and I'm standing by the lake.
There's a huge open space out in front of me, it reminds me of a huge game reserve in South Africa or something.
There's huge flat plains of pale yellowish grass that's been beaten by the sun and in the distance a few trees scattered around.
I start to scan the horizon looking for signs of life, I think about my get to the Triassic/Jurassic period goal and start imagining dinosaurs in the distance.

When I look over to my right I see two massive Elephants! They're quite a distance away but they look really huge and so cool!
One looks up at me as I walk towards it and it puts it head down and starts to charge me.
As it get closer it's coming with at a good speed and is getting bigger and bigger as it closes in on me.
I'm not scared as I completely aware I'm Dreaming and enjoying the sight when I think of something, I think it was on hulk I watched the other day where they just kind of run into each other head first, so I thought "yeah, I'll try that" and as the Elephant got very close I bend my head down and charge it head on! Stopping it right in its tracks instantly.

I didn't want to hurt it though and it was fine, it was now standing right in front of me and it looked incredible!
I've never seen one in W life before but they must look just like this!
Everything about it looked so real! it's skin had little cracks all over it.
It's sheer size and the way it now slowly moved as I walked around it, touching its trunk and feeling it's skin.
It even had flies on and around its eyes, it was that real looking!
It's just amazing what the mind is capable of when I've never seen an Elephant in W life but now feel like it would be exactly the same if I did, only I wouldn't be able to get as close in WL as I could here to a wild one at least.

After admiring it for awhile I felt really great and didn't mind if I woke up right after as it was a great experience in itself.
I didn't though, I walked a little way and came across a building.
Inside was a room with different corridors going out from it, so I walk down one of the corridors and into another smaller room.
Inside was a small, old fashioned TV playing something, a fruit machine and a few other bits and pieces.
I then see hanging on the wall above the door there's a baseball bat, so I take it and think "f**k it, let's smash some stuff up" and I smash the TV screen with it a few times.
The sound of the breaking screen is great, sounds, looks and feels very real and satisfying so I start smashing up the fruity, which again feels good.

I walk out the room and move a little way more down the corridor and there is door after door all the way along, so I check a few more doors and just quickly peek inside each one and it's like, inside every room is something different to try.
In the first one it was set up so you could smash things with a bat.
In another there was tons of sweets and cakes to eat.
There was some other activity in another room but for some reason I can't remember what it was.
I think to myself this is a good idea! To get lots of different experiences in one Lucid by having a corridor full of different rooms, each with a different activity or experience inside is very cool and that I'll have to try to get to this place again.

I walk into another room slightly bigger than the rest and there's a sword, baseball bat and lots of other weapons in a tall bucket of some sort.
I pick up the sword, it's a long, straight, slim sword with an angled tip rather than your classic sword. It's also a dull grey.
I know this must be a killing experience room about to happen and I've never really killed any Dream characters before, not on purpose anyway and I've never stabbed or hacked any up.
As this place is built for experiences I think "ok, let's see what this looks and feels like" and some guy dressed in a strange looking uniform comes through a door holding a sword.
We start to fight and I stick him in the right side of his neck and as I pull the sword out, it's followed by a trail of spurting blood, again this looks very graphic and realistic and the guy drops down dead.

I drop the sword and go looking for another room but the Dream fades.
I come back round and I'm in my old school, outside k block.
It's break time and there are loads of people out.
A girl walks towards me and she's beautiful, she's older than most of the other people there and looks about 22.
She has dark blond hair styled in a kind of scruffy looking way but it looks really good, she's wearing a short top showing her stomach and just looks great.
I somehow know that we're together and she just walks into my arms and we kiss.
Another couple come over to us and say hi, again I can somehow tell we're friends and it feels kinda like I've stepped into another life, like Sam Becket from Quantum Leap lol.

I lose the Dream though and wake up.



Excellent Lucid!
The Elephant was so amazing and I can't wait now to get to a period involving Dinosaurs! If they look half as good as the Elephants then WOW.

Got in my usual way and after having a short one that I was a bit dissatisfied with as I didn't get anything done, this more than makes up for it.
WL vividness and complete W memory.
Nice and long lasting about, 15/20 minutes? Maybe more.

Just thought I'd post my Dream Jornal up starting from last night.
I'll pretty much just copy and post them from my IPad so forgive spelling, grammar and punctuation.
All will be Lucid Dreams but I'll put them in red anyway as some start off non Lucid.



22/8/2015

I'm lying in bed looking at my IPhone watching something on it.
I don't know I'm Dreaming yet but I'm trying to get it to snap me in to a Dream, not realising I'm already in one.
After a few moments I feel different and know I'm Dreaming laying in bed.

I get up and jump out my window, I hover in the air for a few seconds using the Jetpack method, then land in the street.
I still have my IPhone in my hand so I chuck it at a car on the bay to see the window smash but it hits the door instead, I then think I need that phone to try something so pick it back up.
It was a little smashed by otherwise ok so I imagine a button on it to transport me to Ancient Rome but as I press it nothing happens, I try again but again nothing happens so I try pulling the Dream scene from the corner like I read on the forum a yesterday but it doesn't work.

I then walk round the back of the flats over the road where I got the Stargate to work before, at first I can't see it but as I walk towards it can see a red energy and know it's there.
I try to imagine Ancient Rome and see a scene through it briefly but then it goes away.
As I walk through it though the scene comes back and I'm now standing inside it!
I'm standing near a sea or massive lake and it's very Romenesk looking.
There's a large depression close to the water like a beach but made of thick paving stones with carvings on each one.
There's also an awning of some sort and it's held up by big bits of smooth, carved driftwood.
You can see it hasn't been cut but nicely shaped and each one has carvings on the sides showing the lighter wood coming through.
There's also lots of colourful flowers all around, not in the ground though as it was all quite light and sandy but in big porcelain or China tubs.
The flowers are mainly reds and purples.

I walk around looking at the different things and smelling the flowers but lose the Dream.

I go on to have a few more Lucid's after this.
WL quality with full W memory.
Not sure of length with this as I linked a few together but nice and long period of Lucidity.
