    1. Roller coaster with man-eating dinosaurs!

      by , 04-02-2016 at 11:35 PM (Awake to take in the view...)
      So I have an insane amount of crap to get done in the next two weeks. But I had to stop by and write this dream down, because it was awesome. This was essentially my first successful WILD.

      I only slept 5 hours last night (usually sleep 6.5-7.5), so I laid down for a nap when I had a spare moment - around 1:30 PM my time. I only had 25 minutes or so to sleep. My body has been really tense lately, so I focused on relaxing my muscles completely as I laid there. As I did, I noticed my body going relatively quickly into sleep paralysis. I let myself descend into the dream that followed.

      It was hazy and not super vivid, but it was definitely a dream and I was definitely lucid! I found myself falling until I was on a roller coaster with a very good friend of mine. It was a sunny day as well. This roller coaster was cool because I had some degree of control over where it went and what it did. We went through all sorts of environments. As we rode, there were these giant dinosaurs and snakes leaping up trying to eat us. One smaller theropod did successfully bite my arm, but since I had control, it had no effect on me and I really didn't feel any pain. They were all just part of the ride, in essence! For one portion, we reached an apex and then went backwards (sort of like Expedition Everest in Disney World, only steeper). I think music was playing, but I can't remember clearly. We even passed by a giant image of my friend in the air, and a factory filled with inventions!

      Unfortunately, I think I involuntarily moved or something, and woke up after that. D: However, I was able to get myself back into sleep paralysis for a few more minutes, and kept my eyes open this time. I stared at the light right above me (in the real world) and saw what looked like a squirrel sticking out of it, as though it were popping out of a hole on the ceiling. It looked around the room curiously. Reminding myself that it was just a hypnogogic hallucination, I attempted to change it with a limited degree of success. It turned into a few other mammals, then a man's face with a beard, then a lady. After that I woke myself up fully because my alarm was about to go off, and my roommate came in right then too.

      Freaking awesome! I need to try this WILD thing more often.
    2. Sunday 2nd December

      WILD attempt

      At 11:30ish pm I put my headphones in with pink noise for 15 minutes. I woke up with 4 minutes left of this so this lasted 11 minutes.

      I walked out of my house (it was nothing like my current house but instead looked rather typically American style with lovely white wooden features, quite large and pretty.) wearing jeans and thought to myself, 'What can I do?' As I thought this I almost instantly became invisible. My first thought was 'wow! This is cool!' but then as soon as I began walking down the street (by this point I was completely sure I was in America. It looked like most average American streets in late summer/early autumn time before the leaves have started to fall with wide paths on either side of the road with lots of grass) I realized that it kinda sucked because no one knew where you were and when you were on your own that wasn't fun.

      After this revelation I went to my boyfriend's house and climbed up to his room and through his window. "Hey! It's me, Katie! I'm invisible!" I smiled, standing by his window.

      "No way!" He exclaimed, climbing off of his bed and trying to look for me. "That is pretty amazing."

      "I know right?! Want to go play tricks on people?" I grinned, leaning against the architrave around his window.

      "Hell yeah!" He pulled on his coat and we both set off, finding ourself at, surprise surprise, a stereotypical American high school! When we got there I found a bucket of water in my hands and started throwing this water at people, putting the bucket down over my head (so it hid my face) and starting to spin it to confuse people. As I did this someone threw bright blue paint at me, creating a slightly human shape out of the paint in mid air. After this I dropped the bucket and ran with my boyfriend, finding ourselves in a tiny railinged-off little garden/park spot, that was surrounded by building on three sides (each building a different age and architectural style). We started to laugh together.

    3. First Successful WILD attempt!

      by , 12-02-2012 at 02:00 PM
      Yes, you read that right. I have successfully managed to WILD.

      At about 12:30pm I decided I'd try and WILD again, I had a few bad experiences the last times I'd attempted this but my room was very light and it's been over 24 hours since my last medication so I decided nothing could go wrong. I put some pink noise and 10 minute restless to learning binaural beats through my headphones, set my alarm to go off 10 minutes later and lay back to try and fully relax my body until it were asleep. I kept reminding myself in my head that I would be dreaming when the next thing came into my mind and soon enough I could feel my limbs beginning to have a slight twitch in them and images forming in my mind.

      I saw a coffee cup in my mind which then transformed to being on a desk that I was sat behind. I don't drink tea or coffee but I picked the cup up and took a sip. Looking down at myself I realized I had a smart business suit style dress and high heels on, neither of which do I normally wear. I had already convinced myself I would have been dreaming and by this point I had confirmed it to my brain. Looking up again the background of my position had formed itself into a typical office with a few plants in it. Laughing to myself I got up and started to walk out of the office, leaving the door and reaching a corridor.

      As I got to this corridor I wondered if I could run in heels, normally I can't even walk in them so I gave it a go and sure enough, normal running, in heels that were at least 6 inches high. This time I laughed aloud, "Brilliant!" I exclaimed, reaching down to take them off as I stood in the middle of this grey concrete corridor. "Absolutely brilliant! ... I really don't like this dress..." After I'd thrown my shoes to the floor I started to unzip the dress, sliding it off my shoulders to find myself dressed in my favourite jeans and t-shirt. I looked up again and found the glass wall that was at the end of the corridor to now be right in front of me. For no other reason than because I could, I decided to jump out of this window thing.

      As I started to fall to the ground, no glass impaled in me at all I realized I was in the centre of London. I hit the ground in a classic crouch with one hand on the floor, my first thought being 'Ow, my shoulder hurts.' As soon as this thought had entered my mind I realized that in actual fact, none of my body hurt. My conscious mind was aware that my limbs were twitching again, in correspondence to my dream actions so I stood up and began to look around me. "I have absolutely no idea where I am" I laughed, being completely useless at Geography. "Well this is great, I finally realize I'm dreaming and don't know where I am, typical Katie" I hit myself in the face with my hand, laughing at my own stupidity for both my lostness and the thought that had just crossed my mind. "Oh you are stupid sometimes. You're dreaming, you can do whatever you want to do!" I cried, grinning as I went to kick-off into the sky, intending to fly to where I wanted to be. As I got about 10 feet off the ground I had another brain revelation. "Wait, why fly, when you can teleport if you want?" As soon as this thought had crossed my mind I was no longer in the middle of London, a couple of feet off the ground but right in front of my boyfriend, who looked at me in relief.

      As I threw my arms around him in a tight hug I smiled slightly. "I missed you" I sighed.
      "You've missed me?!" he cried, hugging me tightly, "Katie, you've been missing for 20 days!" he exclaimed, pulling away to look at me properly. "I was beginning to think I'd never see you again!" I looked at him with anguish and confusion on my face.
      "But, I was at work... in an office in London... I can't have been missing..." His expression instantly turned to one of pity as he studied me.
      "Katie... you work in the RAF, you're a doctor, remember? You were taken from your office 20 days ago, you've never worked in London..."

      At this point I lost my grip on the dream and it faded because my mind decided it had to remind me about the coursework I have due in tomorrow! But I'm quite proud I managed to get that far! This whole process lasted 7 minutes as when I removed my headphones after loosing the dreams I had 3 minutes until my alarm went off.

    4. A beginning to my Dreams

      by , 08-02-2012 at 05:49 PM
      WILD before sleep #1


      My dream started off in a very crowded Area where there was cartoon people running around, the area was very colorful with all the colors of the rain bow surrounding me as i walked and used my hands to get though the crowd, i then started to poke my hand to see that i was Defiantly Lucid and i was. I then Though to my self " remover people" after saying this it was only me in this colorful environment.
      I then Teleported myself to a void to then create my next dream scape which was a field or the greenest grass and the most bluest of blue sky's. This was where i then have a very long walk off into the distance looking at my surroundings.

    5. The bouquet of flowers. (this was the TotM of April that I never shared until now)

      by , 08-18-2011 at 05:22 AM
      I'm passing by a house with a beautiful garden with lots of flowers, and I'm seeing it from far distance. I see a yellow caution tape all over the garden; I think to myself "the owners of that house really want to keep people out of their garden". I believe I'm in a car so a keep driving down the street. Then I get into this big, kind of empty parking lot and I'm going in circles trying to find a good spot, I guess closer to this big super center similar to Waltmart. So I finally park the car and I walk couple of steps to enter the store. There are some big and wide stairs to my right so I continue going up, and when I get to the top there's a construction in progress, I take a quick look inside, seems like a big kitchen and there are some guys working on it, there's also a guy just going inside. I continue walking in the store but then I see other stairs heading down, but half way is under construction too and I could see some other guys working on it; so I'm starting to think if there's any other way to get in to the shopping area...So I remember seeing an elevator some where on that second floor, I walk a few steps and I see an elevator but there seems to be no access, there is a rail and next to it the elevator on a dead end wall. I say: "there's no way to get into that elevator", so I head back to the entrance; as I go down the stairs I say to my self " this is a dream", things don't change much but as I get to the bottom of the stairs there's no parking lot, the ground is unpaved and it's night time. Then as I look on the ground I start to see dollar bills, $10's, $20's but as I pic them up more and more start to appear, so I remember to look at my hands no to focus too much on the money; I see 6 fingers on each hand, I rub my hands and stabilize the dream. Then...BINGO!, so I say to my self: " I think with this money I could buy the BOUQUET OF FLOWERS!, so as I'm walking I see an old ranch house to the distance, then my vision gets like a magnified glass, and I see this bouquet of yellow and white flowers, wrapped on a transparent cellophane, and next to it there are some medicinal herbs; they're all hanging in front of the old ranch house, on the roof. Religion and Myth-bouquet-flowers.jpgas I get closer to the bouquet the dream start to vanish, but I remember to stay still and relaxed completely. I'm back in front of the house, but this time I see an old couple sitting in front of the porch, and as I look down I see a garden full of flowers with many colors. then I hear a voice saying: " you need to wait for the flowers, to be offered to you". I'm not focused on the bouquet any more ,but I want to get the flowers from the garden.. and I think "that would be stilling"..(I guess I'm not lucid anymore?since is a dream, would it be stealing?, Now I stare at the old couple and the dream continues... without lucidity...

    6. ACCIDENTALLY WILDED-The greatest thing ever!

      by , 05-15-2011 at 02:18 PM (Lucid Series-Adventures Within The Mind: Izanagi's Dream Journal)


      I agree with the banana dance party ITS PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME because wilding is the most epic thing and i did it by................accident! ok on to the wild: so im lying there trying to wild for about an hour just lying there counting then not counting then counting again and after this disappointing hour i wanted to give up but i still tried a little more. Then i was like i'm done and just layed there thinking trying to go to sleep i was thinking about random things then i noticed i was drifting off usually when i notice i'm drifting off i just kind of wake up but this time i didn't (maybe i was in a deeper state of sleep than usual when i realize im drifting off). after realizing this almost immediatly i was ambushed by a kaleidoscope of colors and entered vibrational state after about thirty seconds of this the colors faded away and the vibrations got stronger. i then felt my body being lifted out of my bed and i felt myself standing as the vibrations continued i opened my eyes to see i was laying down in my bed.

      i did a reality check it didn't fail so i thought i was awake so i went to use the bathroom and while i was i realized my vision was messed up one eye could see a totally different image than the other so i did another reality check the one where you close your mouth and nose and try to breathe and i could breathe so i looked down and thought if right now im going to the bathroom in a dream does that mean im doing it in real life! then i was like screw it if i am it doesn't matter because ive come to far so i finished up and went to look out of my room window i slowly opened it getting ready to dive out i was trying to summon music i wanted epic music like "Ichigo's theme-number one" a song from the anime bleach as i jumped out the window i was on a school ground covered in thick mud i was humming the song loud hoping for it to play. i looked around it appeared like it had just rained i called out to my dream guide apologizing about everything that made her angry i heard her voice say what are you humming and i said "an epic song that i want as background music" then she was like "fine if it will help you look for me" and we started humming it in sync and it had started playing then she said to go and find her and i noticed from the location of her voice a shadowy figure on the roof of the school with their arms crossed i then saw the same figure appear on the other side of the school grounds but clearly could see everything but the face which was covered by hair blowing in the wind. i was like "WAIT THERE PLEASE I'LL BE THERE IN A SECOND" i ran as fast as i could but as i was running an object obstructed my vision of the figure who i was sure was my dreamguide. and when i got past it two little girls were standing there instead. i asked them about my dream guide and the one said "she said that you have till 5:00 that means tomorrow, to find her" and the other one sat there looking around. i looked to the other one and got the attention of both of them i asked "Can you at least tell me her name?" to which they changed the subject saying they were my dreamguides i said "no you are not if my dreamguide was just standing hear then you are not her neither of you are!" then my dreamguide said that time was up and i woke up.

      as i was waking up i stayed perfectly still so i could attempt the WBTB but i was too excited to even start to try and now im typing out this journal entry . so it seems i have to find her tonight hopefully i go lucid again i have had 4 lucid dreams this week pretty good so i think i can pull off another. As for a description of the dreamguide shes probably (considering my height) 5'8" or so she had short orange or blonde hair (it was sunset so it changed some colors) and was wearing my schools uniform the white polo and a vest over it with a skirt. So bottom line WILD FTW!!!!!!, my dreamguide is playful/likes to prank or trick me, and hopefully i find her tonight as its apparently my last chance! and on a side note shes good at teaching dreamcharacters to annoy me.
