    1. 9/22/13 - Possible first?

      by , 09-22-2013 at 02:45 PM
      I may have just had my first lucid.

      In the dream, I was in a first-person video game. The backstory: I am an old, undead man whose wife is afraid of him and I need to catch her. I could see myself (well, my undead, dream self) in a mirror in a bathroom. The bathroom looked like my grandmother's, but nothing else did. Eventually, something happened and I was in front of the mirror again, but I looked like an Asian man. I said, "Wait, we're Asian now?" and, "Wait, am I dreaming again?" I plugged my nose and could still breathe (though it felt strange), so I knew I was dreaming. I closed my eyes and said, "Clean slate," and the dream world became a blank, white space. I closed my eyes and said my crush's name and she appeared. I immediately started having sex with her, but it felt strange. I felt detached. It didn't feel like I was *ahem* thrusting. In fact, the dream switched to third-person and ended quickly. Unfortunately, I wasn't tired enough to re-enter the dream.

      Now, I'm not entirely sure this was a true lucid. I didn't feel truly concious and felt detached, as I said before. Also, the sex part didn't go as I had planned it; I had planned to do a bit of romance and foreplay, as opposed to mindlessly diving into it.

      I think I either a.) was dreaming about being lucid or b.) attained lucidity, then lost it. Either way, it's progress!
    2. Helping in Africa

      Monday, 2/11/13

      Before bed, I watched "The Office", where Michael boards the bus to Mexico with church members to help build school or something.

      DR: I'm getting off the bus in central African country. It's a camp, where people live, get food, help and education. I look at the mois ground and see bugs and caterpillars ad stuff. I try not to panic but I yell for someone to get my shoes. Looking at maps of country and village to get my bearings.

      DR: Regular dream that I become lucid. Start pushing thumb through palm, but it hurts so I stop. But it would go through. Pinch my nose and can breathe easily. Exit out. Hovering over street at night.

      Yelling commands and can hear my voice loud and clear. "Take me to beach, tahity", "Take me to space" and I think one more place I wanted to visit for a long time. But I don't think I'm going anywhere.

      I'm looking at the dark skies and expecting something to happen. I think maybe I should yell for some visual clue or something.
    3. A Very Inception-Like Dream About Lucid Dreaming (Also My First DJ Entry)

      by , 05-05-2012 at 04:03 PM
      First of all, I am new on this site. So Hello Everybody! Before I write down my first dream I want to share with You I should point out that English is not my native language. So please don't offend me for little mistakes.

      I got this dream with a MILD and WBTB attempt which failed. It was totally non-lucid.
      Now onto the dream:

      I was on a bus with some of my friends going to a hotel or some sort of house. Then I found myself in my hotel room which was almost identical to my real room. Me and my friends wanted to lucid dream that night. So we went to sleep. I tried to WILD and MILD in my dream! Here is the Interesting part: I had a dream in the one i wrote above (very much like Inception )! I dreamt that I was lucid in my dream inside the other one. Of course I wasn't really lucid. So I found myself in a big glass-room full of vases, bushes, trees and stairs. My friends were there, too. We wanted to have a great gunfight. One of us even told that we can't get injured because we're dreaming! I replied: We shouldn't do such things in our first lucid dream because we will maybe feel pain (just like in Inception, again ). So we decided to try out smaller things first. We then went through a restroom-like corridor. There a tall guard scanned us with a metal detector. Nobody got caught . On the other end of the corridor there was a part of a typical English town. It was like Christmas with lamps, decorations and a lot of snow. Near some tall buildings there was a small park. I went there with my best friend. I know that to conjure things in LDs it's easier to imagine a thing hidden somewhere and then find it so maybe the next scene was be because of this --» My friend then walked to a bush and picked up a handgun from the ground. Then he wanted to conjure a whole soccer team. (weird... ) In the next minute a whole soccer team arrived from the street next to the park. I got my headset out of my ears and wanted to get a minigun. So I imagined that I'm in the game Left 4 Dead killing zombies with a shotgun . I also heard that to stabilize a LD you should use all your senses so I started punching the zombies. Maybe this was the reason. At first it felt like my sleeping dream body was doing the same motion. My hands didn't really want to move. Then I had a rest for a while and the punches felt like real punches once again. At the end of a corridor full of zombies I found a chest. In it was the Minigun! Then I woke up (still in my dream body ). I talked to a friend about the dream in my room then I went to sleep again. Like previously I tried to MILD. I woke up again, I didn't have a dream in the dream now. This time I was talking to 2 of my friends in the living room of the hotel about LDs. And I went to sleep once again. I woke up, then I saw one of my friends (again...) with my dog. The was an other dog like mine but it was slightly bigger. There were 2 cats, too. I hard some whispering behind me and when I turned around I saw a wet cat. It stood like an aggressive statue and one of its eyes was blue, the other red. Then my friend said we had to go. I went out of the room and finally woke up in REAL LIFE.

      This dream was one of the most vivid dreams I have ever had.
      Luckily, I know where most of the dream sings may come from (like the cats, dogs, the English town and the hotel).

      I am still a newbie to LDing but I practice RCs, MILDing, dream recall, WBTB and even WILD regularly. I have practiced meditation for about half a year now so maybe if I consider WILDing more seriously this will come in handy.
      I will hopefully find some time to update my DJ and profile in the future.
    4. Dream about Lucid Dream

      by , 02-13-2012 at 07:58 AM
      First of all it has been a while since I wrote here on my dream journal, I had lost motivation etc, again. For soon about a week ago though, I thought that I must continue. My recall the past month hasn't been good at all, but now I've recalled the 4 last nights dreams!

      Tonight I'd a dream about having a Lucid Dream. I have no idea if I shall count this as a Lucid Dream, as I kinda dreamed about having one, I think?

      The (lucid?)dream:
      I were in my dads house (where I live irl), it was very dark and my dad was sleeping. I had moved in to my sisters old room instead of my own. I was quite tired and went to bed where I layed still.
      A couple of seconds later I started to feel dizzy and it felt like everything was shaking. I tried switch on the light but it didn't work at all, I had in mind that what if I have a lucid dream. While thinking about that I felt some sort of power inside me, it felt like I could do whatever I want. I tried to push my hand through the wall while I started to visualizing. The hand didn't go through the wall, but everything become more dizzy as I visualized. Suddenly I were in the living room, it was bright and now my sister were there. She was very thin, looked like aneroxia.

      Then I'm sure I'd some more experiences in this dream lucid dream, but can't recall more of it.
