Not as much success than previous WILD entry there, but still interesting. I originally planned to do TOTM but i guess i forgot about that mid-dream...

I am in my bed, eyes closed, i feel different somehow and binaural beat i am listening to is ending(it's not looped), i take off headphones and the still head a bit of ending, thus confirming that i am in dream. I get up and recall my goals, i remember to stabilize, i try feeling the bed and i also rub hands. I look around and i am suddenly in a different room of my house now. My next goal was to try phasing through balcony door, but i get a bit puzzled since i am in a different room. I notice a door 'leading outside' that's placed there instead of windows that are there IWL. I run towards it and imagine phasing through it, but door opens by itself as i touch it, so i end up falling.
Mid-fall i try to teleport towards balcony, but fail, then i end up accidentally closing eyes, but after i open them it don't seem to effect the dream and i am still falling. Suddenly i feel the wings, so i slowly glide to the street.
I look around and there are alot of people walking around, i notice that some of them look like my family, but nobody really notices me. At this point i presumably forgot my goals, so i decide to just explore. I also decide that it would be good to move faster, so i start running quite quickly, there's at least a few meters between steps. Dream starts fading out and i wake up.

Lucid | Commentary | Non-Lucid

Wow, I'm really suprised I achieved a lucid-like state within my first night. This definantely has boosted my self-confidence, and I feel like I'll achieve the real thing tonight! Anyways, last night I woke up a lot, which may have helped my odds in becoming lucid. I also would like to appologize for the impersonal style of my dreams and the lack of conversation, hopefully my recall will improve so that I can personalize my journal a bit.

Confusing Fragment

I was attempting to induce a lucid dream with Dreath (from Soul Eater) and someone else in my room by a method similar to DEILD/CAN-WILD. With all the alarms, I would 'wake up' (really a false awakening) and think I was in reality, which made recalling this dream especially confusing when I woke up for real.

In the Darkness

Some awareness was triggered between all of the false awakenings of the last dream, which I think resulted in this short semi-lucid dream. In terms of awareness, I was proabably at a 5/10.

I was in my room. I took a look around, but I could barely make out objects because it was so dark. I tried to make the room brighter by attempting to manifest an orb of light within my palm with the intent of light, but nothing happened. I looked out my window, and the first glimpses of the sun were starting to penetrate the night sky. I looked at my car, and the trunk and doors were wide open. 'Crap, I must have left them open from yesterday,' I thought, but obviously this was a false memory.

Friends and Gliding

I was in a huge complex with several segmented rooms. I searched for the bird from before, and found her; however, she took a more humanoid form that resembled a huge black woman. Apparently, she had feelings for me in the past, but we cleared that up now and decided to be just friends. The next thing I know, I was in a cave-like room that had a redish hue to the rocky walls. The scene reminds me of shaolin showdown, in which I was using hang gliders to combat various enemies.
[Scene Shift]

I was getting the groceries out of the car for my mom. I felt something against my skin; it started to rain. My meal for today was prime rib, and it looked absolutely delicious in the packet. I traveled to the parking lot next to McDonalds about 7 minutes from my house and met with my girlfriend and her friends. Turns out of them had a hand glider, and I had an urge to fly it (probably from the last dream). I got a running started, and lifted myself of the ground, and the hang glider caught wind. I was lifted high into the air, and even in a non-lucid, this was an amazing experience. I looked down, and I noticed that my hang glider had now turned into a sort of levitation skateboard. As I was looking, I noticed how freaking far I was from the ground, and got intimidated. This intimidation resulted in me loosing my balance, and I was forced to take a rushed emergency landing towards to ground. Back at the house now, the rain started again, and I went to the car to retrieve the prime rib for my mother to cook.

We Are Dreaming! Yay! Go Crazy!!! (DILD)

NON-DREAM | DREAM | LUCID | FA | HH

Sorry I haven't been as active lately. Last week was soooooo busy with end of semester work. I should be back to reading DJs and being active again this week!

We Are Dreaming! Yay! Go Crazy!!!

AT is at my frat house. She is visiting me and asks me to help her out with something. Someone she lives with or near is up to something. I agree. All I have to do is befriend that girl she lives near/with.

Girl #2 comes to the house and sees AT. They act as if they are friends so I think everything must be all right between them. I talk to Girl #2 for a while and before we know it, we are talking and laughing about all kinds of things.

Girl #2 walks into a room in the house and I follow. AT walks away from us. Inside the room, the girl opens a closet door in which she has stored all kinds of items. Apparently, this is what she is hiding from AT.

She gets something from the closet, then leaves the house.

AT finds her way back to me.

Should I tell her what Girl #2 had hidden in her closet?

I am about to tell her, because I know and trust AT. She is a good person.

A blur in memory.

I am in my Philly house. I am standing in front of the door that leads to the backyard. It is nighttime. The door has one of those square window designs. Through the reflection of the windows, I see a pair of yellow shoes. They move on their own.

I wonder who might be outside. Then I realize the windows are reflecting someone who is inside this room with me!

But no one is in the room...

Another blur in memory.

I am in a huge wide building with like 5 floors. The walls are pure glass! Through it I can see outside. The sun is setting and it looks amazing.

A couple of girls are here with my brother and I.

It hits me.

This is a dream! We can do whatever we want!

Immediately I turn it into a crazy party that is not possible in waking life. I tell everyone to control everything however they want.

Everything becomes flashy and bright-colored. Talking ponies run around the building. Some people fly while others glide. I run and glide around everywhere for the hell of it.

I tell everyone to be careful and to not fall out the glass window walls.

I hallucinate all kinds of scenes and it is just a mash of dream party craziness.

It wasn't really a lucid dream, just one of those dreams in which I'm having a lucid dream. I was in a field, floating upward so that I could skydive in my lucid dream. But I couldn't get high enough. I tried about 4 times, floating upward, trying a few different things, then gliding down. It was fun to glide down, I seemed to have wings like a flying squirrel, but I wanted to get thousands of feet up and free-fall. I tried not looking at the ground and just going up for a couple minutes, but when I looked at the ground I was still only about 100 feet up.

Later, I was walking with my family down a sidewalk and arguing with my mom over whether one could skydive in a lucid dream. I tried to tell her how real lucid dreams feel and that it would be possible, and she said she knows, that she's had lucid dreams before and knows they can be real but still doesn't think it's possible to skydive in one.

I started out doing what I was doing before I fell asleep, which was working on homework for school on my roommates computer. Only I am on her computer in what looks like an elementary school classroom. With a whole bunch of desks you can put things in. My boss (irl) Charlene and friend from school (irl) La La are randomly there too.

Suddenly Larry C. (friend from school irl) runs into the door way armed with some kind of weapon that looks like a taser, Charlene and La La seem to know exactly what is going on and start running for the door. Before they can get there Larry fires hitting all of us with some kind of medical suction cup and begins electrocuting us.

I fall instantly to the floor in horrible pain, writhing as the jolts go in waves through my body. I the suction cup begin to get warm, hot, and then start burning. Soon my whole back is hot, and my muscles are so tense they feel like they are going to snap. La La begins to say how she can not believe that a "Burn-y" is so intense. I figure she has been shocked more than once, and that this is not even the worse of it.

It seems to go on for minuets but finally subsides, leaving me as an exhausted, fried heap. Charlene is up in an instant and grabs me saying "Get up we gotta GO!" I can barely move my body at all but force myself to my feet. She begins to put me towards the door but I resist saying "No I have to eject my hard drive first! I can't leave yet!" She lets me go to the computer and eject my drive. They keep giggling at me in almost a mocking way. I realize they are laughing at me because I am white.

After I get my drive we run out of the room and down a hallway. I start hearing small beeping noises as we are walking, and think that there must be motion detectors along the floor. So I jump and begin to glide through the hall way using my arms to keep myself buoyant and to steer.

We leave the building to see the entire "gang" (or whatever) that is trying to attack us. I jump again and try to gain distance above them, but I can't get enough air. I am high enough to stay out of reach as everyone grabs at me but I am sinking in the air.

I end us where the leader is. He is much larger that everyone else and quickly snatches me out of the air. He holds me up by my wrist and gives me a look. I know he wants to break my fingers so I begin to try and wiggle away.

That is when I wake up.

"Freestyle Walking"

I was walking through the street with a group of what I think were probably (ex-)fellow TMC employees. There was just a huge mob of us, strolling along through the parking lot of a strip mall. I definitely did recognize A.B., who really make me think that the entire crowd was made up of my co-workers at the time. Off to one side, we passed an almost comically large truck/van. Someone told me that there were G.I.'s in there, undercover. Again, almost comically - there was an oh-so-incognito, massive antenna sticking up out of the top of the vehicle. The first urge that I had was to blow up the van. I got into Call of Duty mode, and saw a HUD come up in front of me. I kind of "scrolled" through weapons, seeing the barrel of one come up in front of me, before I switched to another. Yet none of this made me lucid. Someone beside me told me that I should use the Mac-11's. I told them that I was planning on using grenades. Whatever my intentions, I didn't ever actually get around to blowing up the vehicle. I ended up just abandoning the idea, and we kept on walking.

Stepping passed an intersection, I saw this insanely hot girl, crossing the street. I could only see her from her back and profile, but she was smokin. She looked Spanish, with long, wet hair, pulled back in a ponytail. She had a purple-ish shirt on, with a low-cut back and a tattoo visible between her shoulder blades. I can't remember what it was, though. Her body was incredibly fit, muscular in just the perfect propotions - remarkably toned, but not the least bit masculine. I lagged behind a bit to check her out, and nudged a few of the people around me to look over at her. A.B., who is a bisexual girl, was like "Hell yeah!" Apparently there was someone leading our group, because some girl beside us asked if 'so-and-so' would mind if we all stopped, so she could go to the bathroom. None of us figured it would be a problem, though someone in the group said that 'she (the group leader) might'.

Noticing that we were all falling way behind, I tried to speed up my step a little bit, to catch up with the group. When I did this, I noticed that I began gliding; sliding across the concrete parking lot with my sneakers, as if I were in a hockey rink. At first, it began to freak me out. I couldn't figure out why it was happening. Quickly, though, it just became fun. I was passing everyone, without the slightest effort - just kind of speeding up by sheer intention alone. At one point, I turned around, 'skating' backward, asking a few other people in the group about how hot they thought that girl back there was.

Suddenly, another tall, more-slender black man 'skated' up close to our group (also gliding on his own shoes, as I was). Without breaking stride, he cocked back and punched one of the white guys in the group, laying him out with one hit, and skating then toward me, as I was the next person in his path. Just by looking at him, I could tell that I was either going to have to defend myself, or I was going to get knockedthefuckout. Still sliding backward at a speed which just about matched his glide, I slipped aside his first punch. He then reached both hands in at me, grabbing me by my shirt and one arm. My left hand grabbed one of his arms, and instinctively drew my right hand down to my pocket, grabbing hold of my folding knife. Just when I was drawing it out of my jeans, I woke up.

Lucidity: 8/10
Vividness: 9/10
Length: ~20 Min.

I believe this one was a WBTB. So let's get started. I was walking with some people and when I found out that I was in a dream I decided to try to fly. I thought it was really cool that I could glide over and over again. When I saw a cliff I, for some reason, put a helmet on. I don't get it. But anyways I jumped off and I glided over a bunch of trees. It was very detailed. I soared behind this one building and landed on my belly. I got up and decided to jump on top of the building. I jumped on the first 3 stories of the building. Then the next. So I looked around because I had a better view and I could see where those people were. So I looked to my right and I saw more people. There was a tree next to them and I wanted to try to make a lightning bolt spider web and I did. I swung down there and looked at the girl, she was trying to find movies. I said "you can't summon movies, your limited by your own imagination." She said "oh" then I was thinking how awesome it was to be in the dream for a few seconds, feeling the texture of the ground. It was white. So then I got up and decided to try running fast. I found a good stretch of land and ran, I was kinda fast. So I tried it again and this time I kinda ran in place. This time I was so fast everything was all blurry. I could see that the planet that I was on was round and I could only go in circles. So I found them and did it again. This time the planet was smaller and when I looked behind me I could see the guy behind me as if I didn't go anywhere. Then I woke up.

This was also last week. There was stuff leading up to it that I don't remember, but...I was on a freeway curving out over a large, still body of water with some trees growing out of it and lots of greenery along the banks. I didn't have a car, but was just gliding along the road at very high speed (a common dream sign for me). I was going so fast I flew off the road and was heading for the water, and for a second I flashed back to a childhood falling-off-a-bridge-and-drowning dream, and got scared, but then I thought "this whole situation seems familiar, I'll bet I can get out of this." So I slowed my fall, and looked around for a place to land. There was a stump sticking out of the water, and I aimed for it but missed, and I was still losing altitude, so now my legs were dragging in the water. I made another pass, and now there was a statue growing out of the stump, like maybe a statue of a saint in robes with one hand stretched out, and I missed again but saw a tree closer by, and got to that (waist deep in water) and climbed up out.

So, I figured out I was in a world where I could slow down and control a fall, but didn't figure out it was a dream world.
