lucid

I go to a video game store at night. A friend of mine shows me everything that I need to play a game and then he leaves. I wake up.

Book 1

Back to sleep. I decided to go back to the video game store and I can't find the video game I want. They hand me a 2 foot by 2 foot by 4 foot box and I ask what it is and am told that it is the audio book trilogy that I ordered. I get home and plug in my headphones and set it next to the bed. There is also a bank statement right next to my bed that didn't make any sense at all! I laid down and listened to the book. There is a narrator the whole time and he is telling me what is happening at the exact same time that it happens. It is very similar to inception, Donnie Darko, and Looper. If you don't know these, then I won't point out the similarities so that you can enjoy them later (I haven't seen looper, but know the whole story, don't plan on watching it).

I am in a building and I am waiting on my crew, apparently they didn't get sent back in time like I did. It is a big building that seems to be a cross between a hotel and a business. It reminds me a lot of the second level in inception (if you remember it). I start noticing that everyone is staring at me angrily and I get stuck in a big game of hide and seek (this part is quite elaborate, but I don't need to go into it. I end up leading them all to the roof and realizing that it is a dream while I am up there. That should make this easy. I notice that there are wires connected to the building from the other buildings and I make the people following me see something that looked just like me go across both wires. I head down the stairs to the main floor while they are all debating and I enter the lobby. There is a bar to my left and a fountain to my right. I go right to the fountain and notice that there is no water, but there are 5 empty cups set on the fountain. I imagine water and imagine all the cups full and then I make the water shoot straight up and fall back down. The ceiling here is about 50 feet high, and I stop it right before the ceiling. The narrator mentions a golden ring reticle that doesn't appear. I point my finger up and draw a reticle. That should help if I need to fight with guns at all. I then put all the water in the fountain and it starts working like a normal fountain.


I wake up and go change my son and then back to sleep

Book 2
back in bed, but the book is over. I click to the next book.
I am in a motel, but this time I am actually joined by my crew. We are at a small building under a monorail system that we are going to destroy. My crew is going from room to room deciding who needs to leave the building that we are destroying (kinda crazy deciding who lives and dies). I start thinking about the previous book and the next book which reveals that we are in a "tangent universe" inside a dream, and we needed to set things up so that the tear in the universe would fix itself. So the people that we were killing weren't really gonna die. It was just so that I could die since I was the living receiver. I then thought about this dream and the previous dream. With the water vortex I created and the metal transitional element of the bridge. That means that I am setting this up wrong... Wait... this is a dream version. That means This is a dream. Way more things around the general vicinity... all sorts of nick knacks that don't make sense. A bottle of lube on the counter, strange. I wonder what that feels like in a dream. I put it on hands and start rubbing them together. Creepy strange feeling. Put it somewhere else as well. I walk outside and leave my men to take care of the manipulated living. I imagine the monorail and imagine something break it apart. It looks like a lightning ghost. very strange. It starts breaking. I get a strange flash of Neil Patrick Harris. I realize that he must be close. I tk the next door open and hear the shower. I wait and he comes out in a towel. I think about the goal that I had of celebrity high five. I give him a high five and decide to jump into the shower because showers seem like fun in a dream. I tell NPH to leave so that he doesn't die when the monorail destroys everything. He leaves and I start checking outside. I can see the monorail falling. The narrator starts talking again. I see a lotion candle. A candle that you can use as lotion as well. I decide to smell it since it was a TOTM. It smells like caramel. I think about tasting it, but decide against it since I know the taste of all three of those things, and only one was good. I get out and tk the next door. There is a small family there and I tell them to leave. I notice that the narrator stopped talking again and that my reticle is gone. I point my finger forward and recreate my golden reticle.


I wake up shortly after, might have been the monorail crash that woke me, tried to DEILD back, but my arm was tingling like it was waking up from being asleep.

Another dream of playing madden, showing my sister why it is hard to tackle towards the "weak side" I have no idea what that means... My mom gets home and we go get some groceries. There is a huge amazing special awesome looking sandwich and I think about eating it, but then I woke up.

DEILD back to a dream.
I leave a huge store and see a lake. It is getting dark out, I find a family camping. I see two little girls (ages 7 and 10) and ask them if one of them is Nyxcc, and they both answer "no".
I follow them to a water slide and their dad is watching me. I slide down and before I hit the water I float back to the slide so that I land perfectly at the edge (shouldn't be possible. the older girl is amazed, the younger less so. I look at the amazed girl and say.
"You definitely aren't Nyxcc." Look at the other and say " but you are!" She smiles and nods. She looks like she is about seven and has brown hair. I can't remember eye color, they seemed bright.
"This is a dream." She says.
"What is your next dream goal?" I ask as I grab her hand so I don't lose her.
"I want to visit old central America."
"Ok... I am having trouble remembering anything from central America... That is like... Mexico and can't remember much else."
We walk into the tent where I see a TV. I go to the TV and change to the history channel. I try changing the words on the screen and fast forwarding and rewinding. I can't seem to get it to say anything except prehistoric turtles and all. I give up and look at Nyx.
"I got it, close your eyes." She says and puts her hands over my eyes.
I close and she takes care of the imagination and old Mexico appears. It is a place filled with ruins of native Americans. There are ziggurats as well as things that are and never were a part of Mexico. The place we are in is a bit of a jungle. Nyxcc looks my age now, still brown hair, but lighter brown and bright eyes, she stands at about 5'6. I tell her to get on my back so we don't get lost. We run around for like 10 minutes. I notice that the ruins are hot enough that some of the animals are being cooked as we run around. I pick one that looks like a huge snail, in the middle is meat (makes no sense whatsoever). I take a small bite and hand it back. She jumps off and seems to run away. The dream ends.
Looking up pictures right now it seems like it was a mixture of aztec ruins, amazon rainforest, and animals that are bigger than they should be.

This dream is a little of a mixture of once upon a time, tsubasa reservoir chronicles, and yu yu hakusho. A little lucid at the end. It is a telling of how far I would go for my beloved wife.

I am at a dinner table. My family and Laura (my wife) are there. I am a bit older. My mind is programmed with a different past, I am in 100% control and my mind is 100% there like most dreams. It is just a reprogrammed past and my "ego".

My programmed past:
Someone has taken away all of the world's memories of Laura snd me together. No one except for me remembers it. A spell has been cast that says that she won't remember me, and I will die if I tell her. I had to look for her at first and reintroduce myself, get to know her, be a friend first (like I did the first time). She doesn't trust me very much though, because the spell left her with a sad past of her husband leaving her and abandoning her and and their daughter (which of course is my daughter that is due tomorrow ) So she is kind of a hurt woman. She hasn't told me any of this, but the warlock did. She hasn't even told me about her having a daughter. She seems ashamed of the fact that she had a failed marriage.

I look at Laura sitting next to me. It has been a year already, how long would I have to wait till I could have my wife back again? She was laughing at all my family (and brother in-laws. They are pretty much normal since they just lost the memory of us together. Laura seems so happy with all of us here, she can tell that she belongs here. After dinner I walk her to the car. A few child's toys in the back that she tried to hide say that my daughter is about 4. I haven't seen her yet since the spell was cast, I wish Laura would introduce us so I can see her again.

"That was really fun!" Laura says as we get to her car.
"Yeah. Are you coming to the show and games tonight?" I ask as she rolls the window down.
"Maybe. I'll have to see if..." She pauses, trying to think of a good way to explain "maybe." She smiles at me. I can barely stop myself from jumping in the car and holding her, telling her that she doesn't need to worry, and that I will always be there for her and never leave her.

She drives away and I start a long walk to the theater where the "play and games" will be at. Doesn't take me long to get there, I think time skipped a bit here. I know I was walking so I could think and pray. I do that a lot because of how much I have to think about.

I step into the theater, sit down next to my mom. Not really paying much attention to her or the rest of my family because I am thinking of Laura and looking for her. The "play" is someone reading the script of the movie "you've got mail" they spend a long time reading and it is booooooring. Halfway through they realize they have been reading the wrong thing and decide to stop and play a game. They start explaining and Laura walks in. She sits next to my sister and I am frustrated that I didn't save a seat for her. I look for my wallet because it seems to have gone missing.

The game starts and everyone is rummaging through candy aisles. I find my wallet, and notice a spell. No one else would have seen it unless they were acquainted with them. I jump to the ground and everyone is locked in a never ending game. Except me and the warlock.

He is far too powerful for me to fight, I learned that the first time. I know how to escape a spell or two, but he could kill me in a second if he wished. He didn't want that though. I followed him outside and we sat by a tree and started talking.

"You've been doing well." He says. He is like a tall rumplestiltskin.
"You mean I have passed your tests?"
"When this started I would have said you had no chance of being with your wife ever again. Now I am not so sure." Hr pauses and looks at me "I would say that you would stop at nothing to be with her. I literally sent a menacing demon after you and you somehow escaped. Not to mention all the roadblocks I have put between you two."

He pulls out a spell paper and sets it on my skin.

"I could curse your body and keep you away from her." He makes me cursed as he says this. My skin turns green and flaky like a dead man "I could make you unbearable to be around." He makes my skin reek worse than a skunk. "Or!" He snaps and my skin goes normal "I could make you unrecognizable!" He pulls out a different sheet that has skins on it. Changes my skin color to jet black, but he changes it back "but... I am not going to do that. I was gonna make a fortune off tonight, not just off of screwing with your story." He walks away slowly.

I pull my wallet out and grab fifty dollars. "It isn't much, but I want it there as a help to you. When people do good things and it costs them they end up regretting it, and I want you to have a little of what you would have had."

He snaps and my money disappears and my wallet. "That wasn't your wallet. Your wallet is in the back of your pants." I pull out my real wallet. "No, I don't need your money, I am not so forgetful as a human is."

He had switched all the people's wallets out of their pockets with a simple hiding spell. He would have gotten all of them throughout the night as the games continued. But not anymore.

We walk up to the door to get in "I put a timed spell on this. You are better at breaking spells than I am, how would you get in if you needed to?" He asks.

I am dreaming... I think as I walk up to the door. I wonder how much has been a dream. I might as well finish this story as much as possible, I would love to see where it ends.
"I would do this." I put my finger through the glass and when it is halfway through the glass I pull out and it shatter part of the glass.
"What spell is that?" He says, attempting the same. I mumble something and wake up. A little sad, but happy to see Laura next to me.

So my wife is 37 weeks and pregnant and apparently very uncomfortable at night time. So when she goes to bed she has been keeping me up for an hour or two lately (note a bit of cold streak). Last night I kept falling asleep and she would wake me, this probably happened 10 times. When you do this it normally puts you in some FAs. So here is how they start.
sleep.

Laying in bed for 10 minutes and then the light turns on. I look around and can see, but my eyes are closed. I start to open my eyes and think that I will wake up and just go around the room with my eyes closed. After I leave the room I wake up.

RC. Back to sleep.

I am in a castle. dreaming again. I see some kids playing baseball in the courtyard. I jump down and see an old man teaching them.
Old man: you can't just go around doing whatever you want in dreams.
Me: yes I can.
Old man: these kids are better than you.
Me: I can hit any pitch they throw
(apparently not very understanding right now) I hit 2/3 pitches and then I grab one of the children (age 1-2) and it is a little boy.
Old man: I am better than you.
Me: you raise one. I raise the others. Mine will be better.
I take off in the air and fly into outer space really quickly. The scenery outside of the castle is all just clouds (unexplored territory on a map. Castle is really freaking huge. Not on earth, but a flat land that goes on really far, even from space I couldn't see the whole planet.


Wake up. RC. Back to sleep.

I had a few more false awakenings i think. Didn't catch them.

I am in the castle again. Aparently I didn't bring the kid with me, but I was infiltrating the old man's castle. Apparently he had been training the kids to be ninjas. I am walking through an arcade and I realize that none of the games are real and I am dreaming. I know that there are about 11 ninjas hiding. I decided to not use dream powers, except foresight. I all of the sudden knew where each of the ninjas were and how they would attack me depending on how I go (read blink for more info). I step across a game and a ninja with two swords attacks. I jump to the side and grab his sword. Twist it around and he loses his hand and head. I drop the sword, I would die with it. Two jump me with curved knives. I ducked and kicked one of them onto the other. Stole one of the knives as he flew over. The two of them got up and attacked me at the same time. I slipped between them and stabbed them both in vital places that would drop them. I kept walking down the hallway to the bathroom. The rest of them were in there. I jumped into the stall and kicked the toilet out. As soon as two jumped in they got blown away by the water shooting out. I grab a bomb out of the dead ninja and drop it back into the pipes. I grab three more ninjas and throw them into the stall. Run out of the bathroom and the dead bodies fly out as I exit around the corner. I then woke up.

I am in a video game. this isn't real. Everything is set up. There are a bunch of my family members there in this small town. My pastor, wife, dad, sisters, brother in laws, friends and randos.

The place is about the same size and shape as Nuketown, but the middle has a lot of trees, and the houses are closed and hard to get in. In the middle there is also a little shop run by my pastor. During the day time you need to make the alliances needed to survive the night, because you will die if you are outside during the night. Each night a roulette of Edgar Allen Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, and other macabre tales get chosen for those inside and out. It is harder to survive in the dark, so you need to be inside. Probably 100 people the first day there, trying to survive. The first day lasted like ten minutes. The first night I went to sleep and when I woke up about 5 people from my house were missing and it was still night time. The sun was rising and people had started setting things up. There was lots of fighting and looking for people. Everyone pretty much decided to not look for people since it was a game. No idea how many people left, because everyone was spread out, busy, and conducting secret meetings. The day lasted an hour or so. Didn't go to sleep that night. It was pretty blurry till the fourth day of this. I think that there are about 20 people left. The idea that it is a game has left me. People are dying everywhere. I found the roulette that chooses the night time. You need to be in the right place or you will die. People are getting more and more violent though. (I am cutting out a lot of this dream... There is a lot of stuff I am skipping out). I see one person that isn't fazed by this at all. He is talking to my sister. Hukif is teaching my sister a few things about survivalhe is also teaching albino squirrels how to manipulate ice so that they can fight. I start thinking about the dream and realizing how long I had been there. In my mind I remembered 20 different times of being there. So I might have forgot some nights there. It seemed very consistent and crazy fun..I then found a friend of mine being burried alive. I dug her out and gave her CPR and revived her (didn't think she was real, but thought that it was a consistent realm). Part of the game sent zombies at me and one jumped on me. He bit me and I started turning into a zombie. My arm started rotting and I started wanting to eat people (partial transform). Then Hukif sent the squirrels after me. Struggling with understanding how someone could do all this, I realized that this isn't a consistent realm anymore and I could use full dream powers. The squirells were jumping off of things trying to bite me. I am not a part-zombie anymore. One of them flies at me and I back hand smack it across the deck. It shatters. The other one I lift in the air (tk) and it shoots ice at me. I stop the ice and then send it back to its head and freeze it off. It falls to the ground and the head shatters.
I teleport to the basement. There are about twenty people celebrating that the game is over (it was getting violent and everyone couldn't get out) and that it is a dream. One guy is flying across the ceiling dancing and there is loud music with the party. My pastor asks me if I want a beer and I say no. My wife takes it and drinks up (apparently not pregnant, but it is a dream anyways. ).



Fun freaking dream!

Dream Title: Crazy fun
Dream:
It is a pretty normal dream, but then I decide to go to sleep and try to WILD. I lay down and instantly teleport to the Dream Army Base (at the time I thought that I had WILDed, but then I realized that I had not. This is actually just a variation of how I teleport and how I WILD, which are similar enough for this to happen in my dreams)I go outside to the forest and travel through to a town. The sky is red, and I am pretty sure that it is night, and the sky is that way so I can see and so that I know that it is dangerous around there. I travel and a cat-girl meets me. Extremely cute. I think for a second that she is an extra, but she doesn't have that vibe. She tells me that she is going to show me a safe place and takes me upstairs. I ask her how the town got ruined and she says that a different girl like her has ruined it. I know that the girl must be an extra.

Dream Title: Extremely dangerous
Dream:
I wake up and lay still and DEILD. I am not sure if I actually woke up or if it was just going back to the other layer of my dream (I know that dreams don't actually work in layers, but if you fall asleep in a FA, and then wake up later you have a higher chance of another FA IMO). I appear away from the cat-gal. I am in the streets. There are not many people. I go into a grocery store and hide there. There is a lot of people in a room up the stairs in the back and they are hiding. The catgirl comes in. This is a different one than before. I create a barrier to save all the people I am with out of a red ribbon about an inch off the ground (2.54 centimeters). I step in it, but only have the barrier part, not the teleportation part activate. I ask her what she wants and she says that chaos is the only fun she can have. I step out of the barrier and teleport the people back to the base (sorry, they were all clean. I take them away later). I attack the girl and she dodges. She runs away from me and I chase after her. I force shove her as she is running and she almost gets knocked over. I can't seem to throw a fireball, so I think of another thing that will work. "Incendio!" I cry. It shoots fire and she dodges and get burned a little. She disappears behind some houses. Drat. Almost had her. Awake.

Dream:
I do the same as last and I still don't know if I woke up. I will count it though. Back at the Dream army base. I notice all the people are gone I must have teleported them away. I thought. I jumped into the red ribbon and appeared at the grocery store. The good Cat-girl was there.
"You shouldn't leave the ribbon because it is too dangerous." She says. Her smile never falling from her face.
"I am not afraid of anyone out there." I say. I know that I have to treat dreams as real as possible to keep them realistic, so I don't say why.
"It is much more powerful," she says "they are not happy with you."
"Are the people alright?" I ask.
"I led them home." She replies.
I watch the city through a window. It has somehow gotten darker and more evil looking. I want to save the city from this darkness, but I also want to take the advice of the local. She doesn't know what I am capable of, but I know that I should limit myself before I demolish the other catgirl.

I think about writing down my dreams, but decide that it was too fun to forget. I RC and go back to sleep.

Fell Asleep: Forgot to check
Dream Title: Crazy neighborhood
Dream:
I feel the same way I did the last few times like I WILD into it, but I do not realize it is a dream. I do not know how, but my dream got me to think that I was in a video game instead. I am in a different place. It reminds me of my parents neighborhood. I run around and the idea of the previous dream lingers a little. I am fighting an army and I need to win. I do not know why though. I run into a leader and he lets me know that wolfmen (opposite of cute catgirls) are running around and we need to defeat them. I spend a long time going over lame strategies with him that make no sense. I wake up. I am in a room with some friends of mine and telling them about the "game" I was just playing. They said that they are in it too. I jump in and out of the dream multiple times and talk to my friends. Nothing big happens till the end when I get out of the dream and am talking to someone when all of the sudden I feel something behind me. I turn around and I automatically know that it is one of the strongest wolfmen (They look more like wolves, but walk upright). It has a bat and swings it at me. I dodge and it hits a door frame I was standing in. I kick at him and grab the bat. Spin around and while peeling it from his claws I swing it and hit him in the head. A little confused about how he got out of the game I wake up for real.

Notes: Google search that image for a full size image of that cat-girl. It is uncanny how similar she looks to the dream girl except the dream girl wasn't animated.

So, I haven't been lucid in a few days... I was a little sad. I think it is because work has been making me work late, so I knew that my I was going to bed too tired to DILD. I just thought of it this afternoon though, that if I am physically tired from work, I should be better at WILDing! So my wife wanted to take a nap this afternoon and I joined. The way I WILD is a little weird. I feel like when the dream starts I do not have enough anchor in the dream to stay in it, so I just watch. I was trying over and over to WILD, but I would slip into a dream and when I tried to move, I would only move my real body. Also note, that when I was trying to WILD a huge pain came in my head and I imagined doing eternal backflips through space. Then a dreamscene would apear, but I would wait till my dream self would move around enough to stabilize me, then I would quickly stabilize.

Dream Title: Workout
Dream:
I am in an underground army base and there is workout equipment everywhere. I am very aware that I am dreaming, but I just watch to see what dream me does (this is actually quite fun... I recommend it, next time you realize you are dreaming, surrender control to your subconscious). I am jumping on the equipment and I realize that I jumped about 15 feet in the air up and 20 feet out. I know that this isn't a big deal, but the guy down there asks me how I did it. I tell him that it is because it is a dream and he tells me I should show "her" that. I take control of my body and look at my hands to stabilize. The dream is fading and I decide I didn't want to be lucid underground anyways, so I will DEILD.

Dream:
I am back where I just came from, a little disappointed, but I realize my wife is there, so I am okay with that. I tell her to follow me. We go up stairs and there is an enormous room overlooking a beach. There is a huge glass in our way, but we both faze through it. We walk around to the side of the base and she keeps kissing me (dream kisses are goooood . Anyways, we get to talking about the dream itself and then she kisses me a lot and then I tell her she must have forgotten that she was mad at me, she looked stunned and ran away. The kiss had made me lose stability and when I was shocked that she ran away I forgot to restabilize. Meh, I can DEILD.

Dream Title: basic TOTM
Dream:
I am back at the beach, but this time I am on the beach, I can't find my wife... Think... Aha! it is cold and she went inside. The weather follows my lead as I run up the slope back to the army base. It starts snowing! I don't feel the cold, but I stabilize. I walk up to the glass, now covered in ice. Basic TOTM! I think, break something! I slam my fists into the glass and think about how strong I am in dreams and how fragile the glass should be since it is frozen. So it shatters into a million pieces. WOOT! I stand next to my wife. She is still a little frustrated because of the last dream. Still don't know why she would be mad at me.I have flashes of a dream that might have happened before all these dreams. I am still unsure of it, so I left it out. She is also frustrated that I broke the glass. She said she wanted to go somewhere warmer. I told her that you can have anything you want and you choose to go "anywhere warmer?" she says yes. I tell her that I can teleport her there. Crap! I think I need to teleport someone else, not just myself... this could be difficult. I shut off all the lights and the whole place goes dark (yes, the sky too) I keep rubbing my hands together and keep stabilizing. Warm place! Agrobah!

KABLAMPH! We are here. She thinks that I was being sarcastic about this and looks angry at me (my real wife would have been a lot happier ). I turn the light off. Happy with myself that I had transported two people, but also extremely thirsty, so I didn't want to go there either. I turned the lights off and couldn't think of any place to go. I started losing the dream and just rubbing my hands together wasn't doing it, I needed light and a place to go. I created some fire in my hands and lit the infinite void that we were floating in. She asks if I can just change the settings. I think that I could just put my right hand in front of me and create a menu like in Sword Art Online... Sword Art Online! Aha! We pop up there in all its animated glory. I start walking and notice someone breathing in my ear... hmmm. I wake up.


My wife is blowing in my ear accidentally, we fell asleep pretty close. I look up and watch the TV. It is a game where they seem to be pulling out numbers at random and ROFL pops up. The host decides to do this and starts rolling on the floor laughing. Interesting. Then I wake up.

I am shopping with my wife. Then my sisters join in, and then my mom. We go to a book store and EE is in there. She asks me where Les Miserables is and I take her to a copy of it with the movie poster on it. We talk about it, she leaves. We are driving around and everyone wants me to get a massage (I am pretty against getting a massage because a stranger touching me is not relevant to my interests). We take a the massage girl with us and start driving around. I go to a bunch of nostalgic neighborhoods and get a bunch of fake memories. The massage starts. She talks to me the whole time and I am pretty amazed how she doesn't make it awkward and all. We finish and she leaves. I then start looking for her so I can pay her and I go back upstairs to the book store. She left her card in my wallet and programed her number in my phone. Then my phone goes off and basically says that she is in proximity by flashing this symbol and saying that her wifi is available. She is close! I realize I am dreaming somehow and then also realize I still want to meet her. She is awesome and seemed like a beast enough to be on my team! (Dream team ). I take off running out of the book store and look for her for a long time. I talk to dream people and then the symbol on my phone disappears. I see a girl I know in real life and start talking to her.

I have never seen anyone else say it happens to them). My phone goes off with the symbol again! I grab my bags laying on the ground and take off running at her. She is wearing a purple shirt and I don't remember much else. The crowd is pitted against me. Pushing me away. I thought this place was fun the last 2 times I was there, I might have to create some rules for it. The crowd get too much to just run around and someone jumps in front of me and throws a fist. I sidestep and punch the guy in the face. With my momentum I knock him over and just keep running.

There was a ton of girls on balconies looking at me and I realized that there is only girls DCs here.

FA!!!!
I wake up to the sound of a dog barking. My wife tells me to go check what is wrong. I tell her we don't have a dog and she said it was the neighbors dog and she heard something in our house. I try the lamp, and nothing. I get up and try the light. Nothing. Power must be out because of the ice storm. My wife tosses me my phone. I look in the hallway and don't see anything. I turn and check the bathroom. As I check it I think that someone could have gotten behind me while I went in there. I ran out and looked in the bedroom. A hooded figure stood over the bed and my wife didn't see it. She was looking at me. I ran over and tried to tackle the figure. It ducked and I landed on my back on the other side.

I look around. I am driving across a canyon. I am on what would seem to be a plateau that has a "kansas" vibe to the sunrise, but there are no trees, it is old fashioned kansas.
"Do you like seeing what you made?" He asks
I laugh and look in the canyon. (canyon on left, kansas on right) There is a river and trees down there, but the river is so blue, and the trees are every color (mostly green, purple, and blue, but there was some red and yellow thrown in). I stared down there for a while and then woke up.

We don't want it in a huge city with tons of DCs. I wake my wife up and somehow all her clothes disappear. I freak out a bit, even if it is a dream, I don't think my wife would want to walk around naked with me and the people that got lucid tonight. That would be embarrassing. I start thinking of ways to get her some clothes.

I have a few more dreams I shall post later. These are all the lucids though.

Write previous entry on here. Back to bed. more lucids.

I SSILDed and it worked better with the WBTB since I have been sleeping too heavily and barely waking up during the night.

I had a normal dream about my family having a bunch of issues and I started playing video games (like I did when I was like 15). Someone mentioned work and I checked the time. It looked like 7:30, crap! I checked again. 8:30! Checked again, 6:39. I tried to explain the family situation to my wife and then I woke up to my wife saying "is someone else in here?" I freak out real fast and am not 100% sure what she said. I try to ask her to repeat. My mouth doesn't work "C... c... C... Can you repeat that?" Aha! SP! I broke out of it too! I look over and my wife is asleep. She must have been sleep talking. Only the second time I have been in SP though!

I went back to sleep. A little sad about not just WILDing through SP.

To make up for it, I WILD! Yay. I remember that the two dreams I forgot to stabilize and to look for HQ. I stabilized. Thought about a forest behind me. Aha! There was one. I walked over. It was so dark. Not too bad. I need to get there stealthily in case of extras. I walk through the tree line and notice that there is a huge ditch with aroad going down to a pool. Weird. There is a group of people coming up the road. I need to get away from the road. Secret base won't have a road to it. they had flash lights. they are looking for me. five groups of 3... Fifteen people. I haven't fought against anyone, I don't know if I can take 15. I hide in the trees and when they get past I start going to the thick part of the forest. After walking for a minute I got off the road (gonna upload a picture drawn of this place). I then woke up because of how dark it was.

I woke up. Back to sleep. I am in a huge building and people are letting their dogs out on me. Since the building had doors it was easy to get away.

Woke up. Back to sleep. Another WILD . It is day time and I am looking at a neighborhood. I think of forest again and turn around. The swimming pool and forest! This time there are people at the pool. I start walking by, and am contemplating flying to the HQ, but don't want to give away its location. DCs at the pool call me over. My throat hurts really really bad. Like someone is sitting on it. Ignoring it doesn't seem to help. It is causing me to be pretty unstable even with the vividness. I start losing the dream and let it go.

Ah! Thirst. I had been laying on my back with my mouth open. It is time to get up to work anyways.

I have been really tired lately (even with 8 hours of sleep). After these 7 hours though, I feel great though!

First LD in a while. Not too much got accomplished, but Frick, it was fun!

Decided to try and WILD from initial awakening again. Like everyone told me not too . Second attempt, second success.

I go to bed a little late (1130) and attempt to get into almost a medatative stance where I am visualizing and kind of just playing around with that until a dream starts. Then, at about 1230 my upstairs neighbors decide to drop something on the floor and chase fifteen elephants around their room and pick it up. That jolted me and made me wake up a bit. Then I made it back into that trance like state. I am standing! Aha! In a Dream! and then I wake up. Same thing that happened last time I tried this. I was in a dream, but then got kicked out. I lay still. I am getting the hang of what you need to feel in order to get in the dream from the waking state. I DEILD back into the dream, and the same thing happens. Over and over dunno how many times, I am a little ticked off by this, but then someone starts talking to me and I get up out of bed not lucid and go about some boring dream business. I then woke up again and was ticked off because I realized that I hadn't been RCing upon waking and that may have only been one lucid with scene changes. . The motionless RC worked (I am in reality). I tried to DEILD again. This time less confident since I think that the last five or so times that I thought I had "found that feeling" might have just been fake and my dream trolling me. I tried to get to the feeling and...
I am in a dream! I look at my surroundings. Not too many people in a neighborhood. It is a little cloudy out. I take to the sky and my wife joins me. We start talking about the dream and she pretty much has no dream control except being able to fly (so my subC got it right). She asked why it was so cold in this dream world and I told her I would warm it up. I lay back while we are flying and look at the clouds (I think nina flies like this... Might have been someone else though. I would recommend this though! It is fun!) No sun... I use all my might and get the sun out of the clouds by willing them away. We started getting caught up in the dream a bit. She (like a normal DC) steered the conversation to how in the city we were in there was an election today and everyone needed to vote. She told me to remember that they didn't nominate anyone this year, so you can vote for whoever you like. I would have lost my lucidity, but she kept reffering to the place as "a dream" so that kept me with it.

Then she started complaining about the cold again. The sun was setting, so I tried to bring it back... Fail. It dissapeared even faster. We landed and went to a house. We needed to vote soon or it wouldn't count. I was following her and she went through a garage to vote in the back. I decided to mess with her and flew past her and slammed the door shut. Put a barrier around the door. I then flew out the garage with her chasing me (that may sound mean, but it was more like flirting. Plus I had realized that I didn't need to vote since it was a dream. I woke up right after that.

Day 3 of multiple lucids in a row.

A little scary

I became lucid in my parents back yard, there was no one there, but there was a bunch of cars. I looked in this jacked up F-150 and then a kid appeared in it before my eyes. I thought for a second No one should be in my dreams!. Then I walked up there and opened the door, poked him in the face, my hand went through it like he was a ghost, and I woke up.

A little forgetful

I am in a locker room and I become lucid I forget a little bit of what infinity looks like, so I start searching in there. I started going through the rooms and found a friend of mine. He told me he wanted to be my dream guide. I politely refused, and he got mad at me. He kept telling me what it would be like and how fun it would be, but I told him that I was looking for my DG right now. After arguing, I woke up.

They see me rolling, they hating, patrolling they try to catch me riding lucid

I woke up, RCed and laid in bed SSILDing. After a while my mind trails off and I am all of the sudden looking around this house. I catch myself as the story is coming around me. I am dreaming! I start walking around looking for something to do... Can't remember my major goal, I need to teleport, better wait till I know where I want to go. My friend that wants to be my DG comes around and starts telling me what to do. I ignore him and think I should get in a car! I always have fun in cars! I start getting in and he tells me that if I get in it I will regret it. As he does, the dream starts losing stability. I rub my hands together and shout "Stability!" Everything gets clearer and stable. I jump in the car and it is not moving very fast, when I hit the peddle, it just barely goes. A car swerves out of the way from hitting me. I don't remember how this one ended completely because I am in a car in the next one as well.

Close!

I am running around looking for cars to break into and I realize I was just doing this in a lucid dream. That means! I am dreaming! I walk up to a car that is locked and I just pull on the handle and open it (Like a Boss). I start losing stability. I rub my hands together and yell "stability!" works like a charm again. I get in the car and holy crap there is someone next to me. She starts to say something, but I just ignore her. I need to get to infinity! I start driving around. Noticing that all the cars are avoiding me. I hit the gas pedal and it just barely goes not good enough! I touch the pedal lightly and imagine it revving up like it did when I slammed on it. As I press harder it really gets going and I start flying through traffic. What to do, what to do. Oh! I can go at oncoming traffic! They are all dodging me anyways. Every single one of them dodge me, and I am going fast. I pull on the steering wheel and start to fly. I do a U turn in air and drop onto another street. This street will take me to infinity. I keep going, and the street ends at a graveyard. How did this happen to infinity?! I wonder. I get out of the car and start walking around. I can't think of anything fun to do, my whole plan was get to infinity. I keep losing stability and regaining it by rubbing my hands together and shouting. Nothing comes to mind of what to do until I see a car drive by, I always have fun in cars. I stop it by jumping in front and then open the door. As I sit down I start losing the dream. I try to regain it, but I am too late.

Just a strange place

Me and my wife are at this strange apartment complex and we keep going in and out of our room. There is a drawing, and this man comes up to me and says something in Spanish. I grab my wife since she speaks Spanish and I don't. The man waves her off and she just leaves. He says it in Spanish again and I tell him I can't understand.
He said "it is fine to reply in English, I understand you."
"I don't understand you though." I reply
"Well I don't know english, if the drawing comes up your name will you give it to me? My name has already been drawn."
"I don't think so."
"Makes sense to me." My wife replied.

Our name was drawn and she gave it to the man that pretended he didn't know English.

I forgot a dream I had yesterday:

space!

I was on a place that reminded me of the island in Jurassic Park (the second island they go to) on the landing strip. Except everyone was wearing space gear and bouncing around like we were on the moon. Really fun! One dude fell over though and his oxygen tank exploded and killed him. kind of sad.

The mall again!

I was at the same mall I have been lucid in before and had lots of normal LDs there. became lucid. A little weird because I had a bunch of control I normally struggle with, I just wasn't worried about it. I didn't remember my goal and I just flew around and walked around for like 10 minutes. The flying was awesome because I normally don't, and I saw a frozen lake and started flying in and out of it without breaking the top. It was so fun!

midwife Brandon

I had a dream that my sisters were both midwives and we were all invited to a birth . I really wanted to help , and when we got there, there was a huge party just waiting around. Some dude invited me to help in the kitchen. I decided that that would be fine. He was really nice and started talking about LDing. He then proceeded to show me his lucid dreams. They were amazing and awe inspiring. It was like I lived through ten LDs. Impossible to explain them really. I left the kitchen realizing that I was dreaming. not knowing that everyone was fake though, just knew it was a dream. I was helping with the plates and someone asked for a clean plate. I flipped the plate over and flipped it upright. It was clean then. She asked if I could get her some food. I tried flipping it again, but all I managed to do was make it dirty like it was before.

If I make it to that mall again I am going to buy a nerve gear. .

I went to bed at 10. Woke up at 230 and decided to do SSILD.

10-230 dreams.

My family and I were going on vacation... kind of boring until we get to the huge hotel that was stocked with free candy everywhere. Alltl the guys were going to the pool, and when we got back the gals were missing. I found a place that was filled with about 50 girls, my wife wasn't there though. I kept looking after releasing all the gals there. I went to the top floor and found her drugged and with 5 men in suits. After talking to the guy I got him to release her to me. One of then stood up and started talking about how it wasn't fair and how we should. Just let them take us away. I got mad and said "all we did was check into a hotel, why do we have to be punished?" He replied "it is enough"

230-3
I don't remember how, but I woke up in a car. While there I remembered a dream that was lucid that told me about how my wife was gonna die (I think this was a fake dream because of the way I remember it now) I was in the passenger seat and my "wife" was driving. She was nothing like my wife, but I started rembering the dream and told he to get off the highway because the glass in the car was all breaking and I wanted to save her. When she got off the highway a car went up the off ramp and hit our car, just a fender bender, but three guys came out of the car and I was trying to tell her to drive away, but my throat caught and I heard a voice commentating inside my head that was supposed to be me remembering my dream that had talked all about this.

Wake up, get up and go to the bathroom. Lay down and SSILD.

3-330
I am walking outside the hotel. I start thinking of how I got there and realize I had to be dreaming. I walked across the street and started waking up. I looked up and blinked. Every time I blinked the scenery changed. I started seeing lesss and less of each until I tried to keep my eyes open and woke up.

Laid still and started walking on the street again. Realized again that I was dreaming. Spun like crazy because I didn't have time to do anything else. Could feel myself spinning, and a dream formed around me. Lost lucidity and forgot what I did after that.

330-5
Woke up laid still. Started going through cycles of SSILD. I then noticed a beautiful girl leaning over me EDIT: added because I wrote this quickly years ago knew I wouldn't forget this I was in the void and she was the only thing with me, she was an ageless being, I couldn't tell if she was 16 or 35, she was just the prime example of a human. Light seemed to emanate around her and when she reached down and touched my arm, electricity shot through my body and I was hoping that I didn't jolt myself awake. Color exploded around me and I was now downtown on one of my routes. I forgot to stabilize, but I started looking for infinity. I turned around, and that changed the scenery behind me. Not to infinity though. Started tripping and decided to walk around the corner where infinity would be at. After about 2 minutes into the dream I woke up.

The rest of the night was just me trying to get into a used tire store and telling everyone about my dreams..

So I spent the better part of yesterday on this site, hoping that it would cause me to have another lucid dream and Poof! it worked.

I was in the middle of a pretty fun dream watching Goku fight Boromir and all of a sudden I awake in my bed. I get up and start walking to the closet and notice that my teeth are loose, and I grab one and it just falls out. Another one falls out a second later and I automatically think This is a common thing that happens to people in dreams! I must be dreaming! I look at my hands and lo and behold, they are all messed up. I start walking to the other side of the room and think about stabilizing myself more to the dream, but then think better of it for some reason and just walk over to my door, as I open it I wake up.

I was pretty frustrated, I have had four lucid dreams that I just thought that it seemed like a stupid idea to stabilize myself while I was in them. Pretty lame dream, but it was still lucid, and I really love false awakenings since I almost always become lucid after them.
