That was a fun one. The one danger of following the story line like that, is that it's easy to get caught up in it and lose Lucidity.

Fantastic! I can imagine exactly what you were feeling. You describe it well but you and I both know that all the words in the world can't portray the actual height of the exhilaration LDs like this generate to anyone who is not a LDer themselves. These instants, as fleeting as they are, make all the 'hard work' worthwhile.

Yeah you're right. I had one of the best flying dreams ever last night. And there is really no way words can get across the experience. The work put in is so worth it.

Ha ha ha lol If that's not a hint from your sub then I don't know what is!!! Ah, I used to get PO'd at my missed dream cues but now I just find them funny.

LOl I know. The way my dreams are, practically everything in them is a dreamsign. If I got angry about missing them, I would be always pissed at myself.

Cool. Love it how our brains get these random objects. Like, why the dragon? LOVE the "complex maze of roads that would only be found in dreams". This sort of thing makes me wish I could draw so I could paint some of my dream scenes.

I think the dragon came because I was thinking of house decorations, and I have a statue similar to that one.

at "They may not know it"!

Yeah those DC's were probably getting all in a panic for nothing.

Grrr! This is what lead me to become exhausted by the whole LD thing and take a forced break for the last three weeks. I was getting lucid soooo easily many times a night but just waking up straight away.

Oh, that. It's not a big deal. I would get that all the time anyway. It's part of my insomnia thing. I'm kind of a natural WILDer I guess. I always enter dream scenes like that, either Lucid, or I get Lucid shortly after entering the scene, and wake up. It can happen several times before I actually fall asleep. I was pretty awake after that Lucid so it kept happening. Yesterday I kept entering the same work dream Lucid. It was funny because every time I would enter the scene I was there in my underwear. I didn't care because I was Lucid. But Like always, I couldn't get more than a few moments in before waking up again.

That would be awesome, I agree. Hopefully if I keep pushing it, I will start getting more multiple Lucid nights, and longer ones too.
I used to get a lot more of those kind of nights in my younger days. I want to get back to that.

I really loved that dream. It probably didn't seem all that exciting reading about it. But I was loving that place I was in, And the control I had with the commands was so much fun. I'm sure going to practice with commands more.

Also loved how you recognized the boat scene as being so beautiful it was probably a dream. That happened to me a while back when I was driving down a freeway and I saw a UFO in a tree far off in the distance. It was twilight and the whole scene was so surreal and beautiful. I will never forget it as long as I live. Interestingly, it led to my longest lucid dream so far of 20 mins.

That used to happen to me more often than it does now. It is a really cool way to get Lucid. I don't know how you can judge how long you have been in the dream. I have no sense of time there. Sometimes I am aware that the dream is going on longer than some, but that's about all I know about it.

Well, I'm definitely inspired again to get back into it. Just hope it doesn't
take too long to get the right mindset back.

Sounds like it didn't take long at all! I'm glad reading my journal helped you out.

Lucid Dream # 53 of 2009

No reality check needed

I'm walking along a country road. there is a farm to my right, and an open field that stretches out ahead. The field ends at a steep hill. There are cows in the field. Where the field meets the hill there is a wide trail going up the hill, and disappearing over the top. I know that this trail leads to a place I want to be. I have to cross the field with the cows to get there. I see a farmer and ask him if it's ok for me to cross his property to climb the trail. He is ok with it.

But now I'm a little nervous about the cows. I start crossing, and near a building I see a black shape I didn't see before. for a second I think it's a mean bull, and I almost run away. But I see that it's just a black cow. It turns and looks at me, but that's it. I walk towards the trail. There is a black and white cow that start running towards me. But I can tell it's friendly. It has the manner of a happy dog that want's to meet you. I somehow end up just passing up the cow, though. And I make my way to the steep trail.

I start climbing. I find myself climbing through some tall wheat like grass. It's taller than I am, and it becomes and effort to push through it. But the wheat/grass gives way to an all rock hill. It's a smooth kind of rock, and I continue climbing that. It seems to steeper and steeper as I go. And it's really a struggle but I eventually make it to the top.

Once I clear the top I'm moving at a fast pace, and there is a huge crevice open in the rock before me. It's too late for me to try and step back from the edge. If I don't try and jump for it, I will just fall in. I leap and I make it. But just after landing, there is another crevice just ahead. This one is even wider across, and I have no choice but to jump and hope I can make. I'm moving too fast to stop now. So I leap through the air again, and I barely make it. But I have to keep going, there are more crevices. I keep running and jumping and flying. I get going so fast, that I'm just skimming over the surface of the rocks, barely touching them as I make my next leap.

Sometime during this flying across the rocks I become aware I'm dreaming. My Lucidity is pretty much full. I know, because of my clear minded thinking about how I will ever be able to describe this incredible dream when I wake up. The place I am at, is just wow. It's a place of smooth rounded orange rock formations. Similar to something like in Utah. But for me, it's like a stretch of park in front of Pike's Peak, in Colorado, called "Garden Of The Gods." I'm very high up, doing my skimming, leaping, flying thing, across the top of one of the orange cliffs.

Now, I'm right on the edge of the cliff and there are formations of rock jutting out from the side. I'm now leaping the gaps between these, and getting longer and longer hang times over open air. looking down, I can see lots of people walking along, and I'm just in wonder at the sight of all the twisting, smooth rounded rock formations below. They are so complex, and entwine with each other. This is the kind of mountain flying Lucid I've always wanted to have.

Eventually I come to a spot where I dive head first down the side of a smooth rock face, an inch from the wall. Where the cliff meets the ground, it's a smooth curve, like it was made for this. And I just swoop down, then I'm flying across the surface of the ground at high speed. I come to another cliff, this time swooping right up the side of the wall, then leaping over the entire cliff. I can see a group of people below, they all have long staffs and are in some kind of battle. I briefly consider landing right in the middle of them, and doing some fighting with them, then leaping off again. I like the idea, but instead I end up swooping down, and along the ground again missing the group.

Again, I'm flying across the ground at high speed and come to another cliff wall. I swoop up the side of this cliff face again. This time, when I reach the top, I don't go over the top of the cliff, I keep going up up up into the sky. My speed carries me like a rocket, much higher than I intended to go. I lean backwards into an end over end free fall. My intention is to dive back down the side of the cliff again, like a ramp. But the ground is so far away now. As I begin my end over end tumble, all visual is gone, and I wake.


Reading over this I don't feel I've described it very well. But I think it was one of the most fun flying dreams I've had.

Random reality check induced Lucidity

Some bad recall early in the night caused me to lose most of this one. But I've decided to count it anyway, because I've had so much Lucidity not worth counting this month. And I'm just so annoyed that I lost this one.

I'm in a room of some kind. I don't remember much about it. There is quite a few people around. I don't know why, I think it was just completely random that I reach up and pinch my nose to try and breath through it. I can breath through my pinched nose. I'm both surprised and excited about this. This is a dream!? I try it again. Yes, I can definitely breath through my pinched nose. I look around at all the realistic looking people in wonder. They seem to be all busy, moving about doing stuff. I remember noticing one guy in particular as he walks by me. He had blond wavy hair. I briefly consider trying to tell these people that they are in a dream, But I decide against it.
From here I start walking, on my way out of this room. And I'm just watching the people as I go. After that, the memory is lost. But I know that there was more to it.

Pretty sure I had some Lucidity in an early nap dream. I just have a vague memory of trying to tell some people that it was a dream.

Lucid Dream # 55 of 2009
Lucidity trigger unknown

I'm driving my car down a city street. There is a pick up truck in the lane next to me, on the left. The truck starts merging into my lane as if the guy is trying to run me off the road. I begin to move over to the right as he comes into my lane. But then I get pissed off and pull hard to the left, slamming into the side of his truck. I'm not sure if my car is going to be able to do much against the truck, but at this point I'm too pissed off to care.

Nothing really happens. It's like I'm pushing my car up against a wall. I can tell he is still trying to push me over too, but we are just rubbing sides as we continue down the road. Then the road comes to what looks like a suspension bridge. This is not any ordinary bridge, though. The bridge is crossing a body of water so large, that it looks like an ocean. And the bridge goes on for as far as my eyes can see.

I recognize this bridge, and I become afraid. I remember crossing this bridge before, and something really scary happened to me here. ( I don't really know what this scary thing was. I do have a lot of bridge dreams. Sometimes they are scary, but most of the time they are really fun.)

I come to a stop. So does the truck driver. We are no longer in our vehicles, but standing there. I tell the truck driver not to mess with me here, I don't want anything bad to happen. We will cross the bridge, but very carefully. Walking down the center.
I feel that if I'm careful enough, the scary thing that happened before, won't happen again.

We begin crossing. After a moment of walking, I'm smoothly aware that I'm dreaming. maybe I recognize this as a dream place, I don't know. But as Lucidity comes fully upon me, the bridge changes. It becomes a corridor with all windows along the sides. Like the skyway's connecting the the buildings downtown. There are a lot more people in the corridor with us now, and it is no longer as long as the bridge was. I can see the end of the corridor, there is a exit door at the end.

Out loud, I begin to yell," I'm Lucid! " I'm Lucid!" "What?" I hear somebody ask, as I go by them. "I'm Lucid!" I shout again. Then I look back and say, "I'm just saying that to make sure I don't Lose Lucidity." Then I continue down the corridor, shouting I'm Lucid as I go.

I come to the exit door, and go through it. I am now in some area that looks all red. It's as if there were some stained red windows, making everything glow red. I see a man and a woman talking near by. They are dressed in business attire. When I see them, I remember one of my tasks. "How can I win the powerball?" I ask. Both the man and woman look over at me, then they begin laughing and walking away.

They go through the door I just came through. I open the door and shout at their backs. "Hey! come back here! That was my task!" But what ever, I don't care. I close the door. I'll just ask someone else. Thinking of tasks, I remember my watch.
I look at my watch. The number "5" is displayed, nothing else. Yup, That's a dream watch alright. Then I notice how weird my watch looks. It doesn't really look like my watch. And on the upper left corner there is this weird looking yellow caution sign. It looks so weird that I stare at it for several moments thinking about how weird it is.

Now, to spin. Again, I do a lazy worthless twirl. I now notice that I'm wearing some thick cumbersome coat that has made it difficult for me to spin very well. Cool, I think, I've just remembered and completed three tasks. I begin to go somewhere else, and wake up.

Lucid Dream # 56 of 2009
Random reality check induced Lucidity

I don't remember much of what was going on before I did the reality check. I was at home. My family was here. We were having what seemed like some holiday dinner thing. I think, maybe it was supposed to be Christmas. For no reason, that I can remember anyway, I look at my watch. The numbers are all broken up, And right away I know I'm dreaming. I try showing my watch to my brother, but he is not really paying attention. Then I start getting excited because I know I have another countable Lucid going on. Everything I put into it last night payed off. I see that my dog wants to go outside. I know that she does not have her invisible fencing collar on. but I think that since this is just a dream it would be ok to just let her go run lose.

I decide to do a nose pinch reality check right here, just to make extra sure. yes, I can breath easily through my nose. I don't let the dog out right away. I'm a little confused on what happens for the next few moments. I can't remember some of it very well. I was rushing around the house trying to hurry up and do something before leaving. While I'm rushing around, I remember that the next time I was lucid in my house I wanted to get out of it right away, and find something else to do. But I'm not quite ready to leave. I felt compelled to finish doing what ever it was I was trying to do. I just can't remember what that was.

The next thing I remember clearly is being in the kitchen. My Mom is there, and other family members. And also people I have no idea who they are. I tell my Mom that this is a dream. I tell her that she should pinch her nose and see if she can breath through it. Surprisingly, she actually does it. She pinches her nose and inhales deeply. I see her eyes go wide. Then loudly, so everyone in the room can hear, she says. " Caradon has done an amazing thing tonight. He has rescued us from our unknowing situation." I then see that my step Dad is pulling a pan of baked chicken out of the oven. It looked really good actually. "So", I ask. " Are you guys going to do something fun then? Or just keep making dinner?" I don't remember getting any response to that, I leave and end up going back to letting the dog out.

I open the back door the dog goes running outside, and I step outside too. It's night, and there is snow on the ground. I notice I'm bare footed. my feet are freezing in the snow, And I begin to lose Lucidity here, as I think about going into the house and getting my shoes on. I then notice that my dog has run out of the yard and down the street. I panic, and forget all about my cold feet as I start chasing after her. There is a little bit more of me trying to get my dog back. towards the end I regain some Lucidity, as I realize with relief that I will wake up pretty soon, and my dog will still be right here with me.

Best dreamsign recognized
No reality check needed

There was a lot more to this dream, but I'm going to start it here.

I'm in a car with a group of people, and we are driving down a city street again. I'm a passenger this time, and sitting in the back seat, on the right side. There are a lot of cars around us on the road. Some of them are driving really crazy. There is a bunch of people racing around us. They are swerving in and out of traffic. Even going up on the side walks sometimes, causing all sorts of chaos.

My perspective shifts, and I'm somehow flying up and over the buildings on the right side of the road. At the same time this happens, I see that a girl from one of the racing cars has fallen out of her car or something. She is on foot and running fast out of control, from the momentum of her speeding car. I watch as she runs face first into the side of a building, then bounces off and falls to the ground unmoving.
Ouch, that had to hurt, I think to myself.

Then I realize that I'm flying over the tops of buildings, and I think, hey, this is my best dreamsign, Why did I not realize I'm dreaming? I become very annoyed with myself for not becoming Lucid. Then I think, wait a second, it's not too late, I'm still dreaming. This is a dream! I'm Lucid! I look out into the street and see a bunch of people running around. Then I come down on a roof near the building where the girl fell. I jump from the roof to the ground. To the girl, I say. " You're ok, this is a dream. You cannot be hurt in a dream. You just think that you're hurt, but you're really not."
The girl seems to understand this, and starts getting up.

I leave her there and go out into the street. The car I was in is now long gone down the road. For some reason I feel the need to get back to them, I feel as if I was left behind. No problem, I have the ability to run faster than any car ever could. I start running, and wake up. Darn.

Lucid Dream # 58 of 2009
Subconscious induced Lucidity?

I start out watching this one like a movie. I'm in some mansion, and I'm viewing a scene in a dark room. There are two people. One person is performing some kind of ritual in the dark. There are candles burning. There is another person kneeling on the floor on the far side of the room. The person performing the ritual does not want the kneeling person to see what he is doing. There is a cat involved.

Now, I become the person that was kneeling on the floor. The person that was performing the ritual has somehow vanished, And I'm now in the place where that person was doing his thing. I can see the cat. The cat has been killed. The cats legs have been cut off in the middle and are laying next to the body. But now, the cat gets up and runs across the room with it's legs miraculously intact.

I realize that the cat had been killed, and then brought back to life as some kind of demon cat. The cat begins to grow. It is a black cat, and it grows to the size of a panther before my eyes. The demon panther turns it's attention to me, and it's about to attack. I have a knife in one had, and prepare to try and defend myself.

Scene shifts here. It's a false awakening. But it's not my false awakening. I'm watching like a movie again, as a young girl sleeping on the front steps of a building, wakes up and looks around. Her surroundings are very eerie. It's like the town from "Silent Hill."

As the girl looks around, I hear a female voice. The voice says, "This is a dream." Then the voice repeats it several times. I believe this to be the girls voice, but her lips are not moving. It's as if I'm hearing her thoughts as she is looking around. The girl has somehow woken up into a dream. At this point, I know I'm watching the girl in a dream, but I'm not sure if I could call myself Lucid. I'm still watching like a movie, and it's like I'm watching her dream.

The girl climbs the steps of the building, opens the door and enters. As she enters the building, I become her. But I'm not her, I'm myself taking her place. Now it's my dream, and I know it's a dream. My Lucidity is rather low, and I'm kind of nervous as a dark skinned man, and a small boy enter the room I'm in. But then I relax. I reassure myself that this is a dream and there is nothing to fear. And I remind myself of the abilities that I have to defend myself if I feel like I need to.

The dark skinned man, and boy. Are dressed in what I can only describe as some kind of ancient Egyptian outfits. And they are wearing these huge elaborate head pieces. I have the feeling that beyond this room is another realm. The man approaches me and says, "Welcome to our world. Since we are from here, we are able to recognize our situation much more often than you do." I wake up a second after he says this.

Lucid Dream # 59 of 2009
Awareness induced Lucidity
No reality check needed

I'm in an unknown house, along with several unknown people. But both the house, and the people in it, seem familiar to me at the time of the dream. I'm sitting at a table eating a hamburger with all the fixings. A couple of bites into it, I remember that I should be staying aware of whether or not I'm dreaming. (I always forget while I'm eating.) At the same moment that I start trying to become aware of all of my senses at once, Lucidity washes over me. There is nothing specific that I notice, I must have just recognized the feeling of being in a dream.

As I become Lucid, I'm still chewing on a bite of my hamburger. I remember the last dream where I passed up the chicken, and I sit here for a moment just eating. The hamburger tastes very good. I take a couple of more bites, paying close attention to the texture of it in my mouth, as well as the flavor. The texture feels very real to me as I chew it and swallow.

Then I think, I had better get up and do something. I get up and walk into another room where there are several people, while still carrying my hamburger with me. I mention that this is a dream, and I'm having a Lucid hamburger. But then I throw the hamburger on the floor. I walk down some stairs and enter a bed room. The lights are off and I decide to flip the light switch. I wonder if the lights will even work with the switch. I flip the switch up, no lights come on. well, sometimes it takes a couple of tries before they come on in a dream, so I flip the switch up and down several times. Still no lights.

I remember how well my light commands worked in another recent Lucid, so I yell, "Lights!" Nothing happens. Well, maybe I just didn't put enough power and intention behind it. So I try again, very forcefully, and much louder this time "Lights!" Nothing.
I try couple of more times, still nothing. I'm actually pretty surprised, I was sure it would work again. I see someone get up out of a nearby bed. It's a girl, and she is not wearing much for sleeping. I think about making a sexual advance, then decide against that idea.

I leave the room and yell for lights a few more times. Still nothing happens with that.
I go back up stairs to where the group of people were. I decide to start doing stuff to freak out these people. I end up doing some things so weird that I don't even want to say what it was. It was weirder than anything I've ever done in a Lucid before, or read about anyone else doing. It was funny though, and the people got a good laugh at me. They are all Lucid too, they believed me when I told them it was a dream earlier. And the dream lasts for some time before I wake up to my alarm clock.

I wake up thinking jeez, I don't even want to write that one down.

Weird sounding car horn recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm a passenger in the back seat of a car full of people. I'm sitting behind the driver. As we cross an intersection, Cars come out of nowhere nearly hitting us, and they are honking their horns at us. The car horns don't sound right to me, so I decide I should do a reality check. So I look at my watch, turn it away, and look again. Wait a second, did that just change on me? I do the RC again. Yes there is something odd about the numbers. Pretty sure I'm dreaming now, I do the RC one more time. This time when I look at my watch the second time, there is only two numbers spread apart, and they are broken up.

Oh yeah, those are dream numbers alright. At the same time I become completely sure it's a dream, the car pulls over to the side of the road. I get out, along with the others. I guess we have reached our destination. "Hey guys, This is a dream." I say to the others. " Do a reality check." As I say this I'm walking around to the other side of the car. The others have listened to me. I see that they are all looking at their watches to see if it's a dream. One of them says, " Hey, Caradon is right, this is a dream." The others continue to get stuff out of the car. The one that spoke opens the trunk and is getting something out of it.

I look up and see telephone poles and street lights. Since there isn't anything real exciting going on at the moment, I'm thinking about leaping up to the top of the street light, and jumping and flying around. But I'm smoking a cigarette. I didn't really notice that before. The cigarette is almost gone, I'll just finish smoking it first. Not really thinking about how I don't smoke anymore, or how it tastes. I try to hurry up with it, taking several fast drags.

All of a sudden, I can feel something fluttering at my eyes. Some kind of insects that I don't even see are flying at my eyes. I can feel their wings beating. I try to brush them away, but it doesn't help. I keep trying to brush them away, but it's not helping. It's driving me crazy, and I keep brushing at them. Out loud I say, "I know there are no flying bugs in my eyes. I'm actually laying in a bed sleeping with the covers pulled over my head." I can remember that I was feeling cold as I was falling asleep, so I had the covers completely over my head. I wake up while struggling to clear my eyes of bugs.

I think I know what caused this. Lately the muscles around my right eye have been spasming a lot. It probably started happening in my sleep, making me think it was the wings of flying insects fluttering at my eyes. I'll try and remember that's what it is if it happens again. It totally messed up my Lucid.

Haven't been here in ages

Nicely done on these lucid dreams!

I always admired the frequency of which you became aware..and the length of your LD's.

You seem to have ever-improving command on your dreamscapes..that's wonderful.

Many of your LD'is seem to come spontaneously from DILD's, do you make a conscious effort to try WILD ever, just curious..everyone's got their methods that work for them.

Lately I've been having more success with WILD and am playing with a "REMdreamer" lucid induction device I bought..though I like to remain proficient and hone my LD'ing skills without a machine.

Best of luck on more Lucids my friend. I'll be checking up every so often.

Thank you.

Thanks. This year has been pretty slow actually, up until the last few months that is. I've had a lot of distractions. But I've been working hard to get over them, and get the Lucids going before the new year. I'm hoping to make 2010 my best year yet.

You seem to have ever-improving command on your dreamscapes..that's wonderful.

Well, that always varies from dream to dream. I never know whats going to happen.

Many of your LD'is seem to come spontaneously from DILD's, do you make a conscious effort to try WILD ever, just curious..everyone's got their methods that work for them.

I gave up on the WILDing for now, at least for the most part, to focus all my attention on inducing DILD's. WILD's are too unstable for me. I always wake up from them too soon after entering the dream. And I've been having a lot of problems with insomnia lately too. So I just try and fall asleep as quickly as possible now. I have another journal here where I was posting my nightly WILD attempts for a while. It's probably a few pages back by now.

In order to induce DILD's I use a pretty extreme constant awareness technique. I'm always trying to keep my mind focused on a single thought, while staying aware of all of my senses at once. When I'm doing well with it, it gives me pretty good results.

Lately I've been having more success with WILD and am playing with a "REMdreamer" lucid induction device I bought..though I like to remain proficient and hone my LD'ing skills without a machine.

Thats cool. I remember you were having some pretty fascinating WILD's before. I hope it works out for you. That REMdreamer sounds like fun to play around with. I've always wanted to try one, but I was never sure how much I would like it. So I've always been hesitant to by one.

Best of luck on more Lucids my friend. I'll be checking up every so often.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear I'll be seeing you around more again.

Lucid Dream # 61 of 2009
Best dreamsign recognized

I'm driving down a country road with the dog in the car. I think I'm supposed to be on the way home from a cabin trip. In a field to the right, I see cows. Really big scary looking tan colored cows. Wait, they have horns on their heads. They are bulls. They look very mean, and I'm glad I'm safe in the car driving past.

I have no idea how it happens, but the next thing I know I'm flying straight up into the sky, no longer in my car. Looking down, I can see an ever narrowing corridor of trees, where the trees line each side of the road I was just on. I become Lucid, but the full realization comes over me rather slowly. Once fully aware, I make my way back down. As I come down, the trees lining the road become walls. I fall between the walls, and come to land on a stairway. I'm now on the stairs of the town house I lived in as a kid. I jump up onto the railing and slide down. I then enter the living room.
The change between flying above a country road, to being in my old townhouse home, is so smooth that I don't think anything of the change at all. My dog is still here.

I spin a couple of times. I'm kind of stressing out, thinking that I'm about to wake up. My spins are pretty crappy ones. I tell myself to just relax, knowing that stressing about waking up is likely to make it happen.

Wondering what to do next, I remember that when being Lucid at home I should leave the house quickly. But I end up jumping around on the furniture for a moment first. I say to my dog, "Lets go outside, I then leap off the top of the TV and open the front door. The TV falls over after I leap off it. It hits the floor with a loud crash, stand and all. A piece of the stand breaks off and falls to the side. The way in which the TV fell seems just a bit too realistic to me, and I start to question if I really am dreaming.

I step out to the front yard, and once outside I pinch my nose and I can breath really easy. Yup, it's a dream alright. Totally forgetting to look at my watch, I think it's cool that since I stopped doing nose RC's while awake, they should always work in my dreams. There is a cool breeze blowing. It feels a little cold, but kind of good. There isn't much going on out here either.

I walk down by the road. There are cars parked along the side. There are people doing various things. leaving and entering their homes. Some people getting in their cars getting ready to go somewhere. And others just walking down the road.

Well, I think I'll just take my cloths off and see if anyone notices the weird guy getting naked in public. There is a small grassy landscaped hill near the road. I walk to the top of it and sit down in the grass. I then start removing my cloths. It's kind of a struggle actually.

I see a man and woman walk past. They walk by paying no attention to me at all. "Hey lady!" I shout. She stops and turns my way. I make a rude sexual comment, and her reaction is very realistic. She has a disgusted look on her face as she walks towards me and asks, "What did you just say to me!?" Enjoying that I'm actually getting a reaction, I repeat what I said, then throw my shirt at her. I abruptly wake up.

Lucid Dream # 62 of 2009
Random reality check induced Lucidity

I was having a work dream. I was just finishing up for the day. There was some weird thing going on. After the day was over the boss wanted us all to sit down and watch some movie. Not something I would normally be interested in doing at work. But for some reason I was looking forward to this. Some confusing stuff goes on that I don't remember very well. The events end up taking place in a room that is like an apartment living room. I think it's supposed to be my bosses place.
In the living room there is a TV set up on a tall stand, and there are a bunch of metal folding chairs set up in front of it. I'm the last person to to show up.

I sit down in a chair, then randomly look at my watch. ( I'm actually unsure if I was trying to do and RC, or just checking the time.) When I look at my watch the numbers are all broken up like they are in dreams sometimes. What the hell? Is this a dream? It doesn't feel like a dream. I turn my watch away and look at it again. The numbers are still all broken up but it doesn't seem like anything changed. I pinch my nose and I can't really breath through it. ( Nose my have been stuffed up.) I look at my watch again. Still broken up numbers. I'm starting to believe that there is just something wrong with my watch. I try to feel if I'm dreaming, and it feels just like real life to me.

No, I think, don't give up. If I let it go and then wake up I'm going to be very annoyed with myself. I stand up from my chair. My boss starts asking me what I'm doing, annoyed that I'm making a disruption. I try to ignore him but he is persistent. "Hold on, I'm trying to figure something out here." I walk across the room trying to think of some full proof way to figure out if I'm dreaming. Then I remember the finger through hand RC. I hold up my left hand and start pushing my finger into the palm as hard as I can.

My finger begins sinking in. Sweet, this is a dream for sure. I push my finger all the way in but it does not come out the other side. It's like there is some kind of dimension inside my hand. I show it to my boss and say, "Look it's a dream."
Then I pull my finger out. For some reason my brother is there. I think it's really him him and not just a DC. I tell him we are dreaming. He asks me how I know. I push my finger into my hand again. This time, instead of my finger going into my hand, my finger smooshes down into a flat saucer like mass. I hold the smooshed finger up and show it to my brother. I say, "I could not do that if this was not a dream." I shake my hand real hard, and my finger stretches back out to normal.

Hmm, what to do now. I was recently thinking about walking through walls, I've not tried that much in recent years. I remember thinking about that and walk up to the nearest wall. I say to my brother, "I should be able to walk right through this wall."
I put my hand flat on the wall. I slide it across feeling the texture of it. The wall feels as real and solid as can be. I try leaning into it a little, and it feels just like leaning into any real world wall. I know I'm not going to be able to just walk right through it.

I may not be able to walk through it easy, but I know I can do this. I put the fingertips of my right hand up against the wall, and begin to push as hard as I can. Just like with my hand, my fingers begin to sink into the wall. I keep pushing until my entire arm sinks into the wall, up to the shoulder. Then I pull really hard to the side. The entire wall tears off and crashes to the floor. It is so realistic, there is broken chunks of plaster all over the place, and chalky dust in the air. I see my boss frowning. " It's ok." I tell him. " When you wake up your wall will still be intact. " The fallen wall has revealed a hidden room on the other side. It's a little dark, but I eagerly walk into the room hoping to find some cool new dream place beyond the wall. As soon as I enter the room I wake up.

Lucid Dream # 63 of 2009
Spontaneous Lucidity

I'm standing on a grassy incline on the grounds of an apartment complex when Lucidity spontaneously washes over me. I don't remember anything before this point. There probably wasn't much since I was on snooze time. There is a little dog laying in the grass nearby. I take a moment to take in the the realism of the scene. Down past the incline is a courtyard with a park. There is a tennis court surrounded by a chain link fence where people are playing tennis. There are paved walkways, and there are many people about.

Wow, this is so cool, I think. And I get this feeling that's hard to describe as I decide what to do. I casually begin walking down the incline as if I have all the time I want. And I feel like I do. I do a couple of good quick spins and continue. I make my way down by the tennis court, walking along the outside of the fence. I see this really nice looking blond woman walking my way. She is wearing a blue dress. The dress she is wearing is a very elaborate design, and I wonder at my minds ability to create such a thing, in such perfect detail.

Considering making a sexual advance, I quickly do another good spin before the thought alone can cause me to wake. As the woman comes near me I wrap my arms around her in a hug. I then slide my hands down her back, then give her ass a really good two handed squeeze. Then I let her go not wanting to push my luck. I do another spin and continue walking. (Maybe the spins helped. I didn't wake.)

I then remember I want to continue playing with pushing through walls. I look to the nearest apartment building. I think I can probably push through the wall and into the building. But just then I become aware of the fact that I have to piss so bad it feels like my bladder is going to explode on me. And before I do anything I need to go. forgetting that I can just go anywhere I want in my dream, I walk towards the apartment building doors to find a bathroom inside. I'm also forgetting that It's not going to do me any good to go in a dream either.

As I enter the apartment building I remember briefly thinking about the danger of going to the bathroom in a dream. But I have to go so bad it's a fleeting thought. I must be losing some Lucidity here, because I think this is where I live, and I have an upstairs apartment that I'm trying to get to.

I climb two flights of stairs, then open a door and am in a long corridor. There is a bunch of people in the hall. It looks like somebody is moving out. One of them says hi to me as I come near to them. I say hi in return. I then walk right into the apartment that they are moving stuff out of, and find the bathroom. I start trying to go, then wake up right away.

In dream WILD

My Mom is taking off for Mexico in a few days, and will be gone for the rest of the winter. I spent some time with her. We went to lunch, and did some shopping. When I got home I took a nap and had this dream.

I'm in a store shopping with my Mom. She goes and does what she needs to do, while I go and do some browsing of my own. I soon get bored of looking around at stuff. I come to a spot that has beds on display. I lay down on one thinking to just kill some time here.

I close my eyes and visualize myself walking around the store. It works, I VILD into the scene Lucid. I walk around a little, then see this woman that I decide to mess with. I pull up her shirt and fondle her a bit. She just continues walking along, like a robot. I follow her continuing my hands on exploration of her body as we go. It's kind of weird, there are lots of people around. And like the woman, no one else is really taking notice of what I'm doing either. After a little bit of this, There is someone waking me up.

It's a false awakening. Store security has noticed me sleeping on the bed and has woken me up. The security guy says that they had called my Mom and found out she had left for Texas a few days ago. "What?" I say. "I came here with my Mom. And she is going to Mexico in a few days, not Texas. A little confused, and wondering where she is, I go looking for her. I can't find her anywhere in the store, and I'm starting to feel like a lost little kid trying to find his mother. I remember that I have a cell phone, and so does she. I get out my phone and try to call her. The phone rings and my Mom picks up. There is something weird about my phone, and I can't figure out how to work it right. But my Mom knows the phone I'm using, and is telling me how to work it. I'm not really sure what's going on here. There is a bunch of buttons, and I'm pushing them trying to make something happen. I'm not sure what. But I wake up for real while doing this.

Abnormal snow cave recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm outside on the street, it's night time, and it's winter. Not sure what I was doing, waiting for something, I think. While I was waiting I was passing the time by making snowballs, and throwing them at a snowbank across the street. I notice a dark hole in the side of the snowbank. It looks like the opening to a cave/fort, that maybe some kids had made. Cool, I want to check it out. I loved making those when I was a kid.
I have my flashlight, but the battery is a little dim. I take it to go check out the cave.

I climb the side of the bank, and enter. I'm very amazed by what I find. It's a huge beautiful cavern inside, not of snow, but of rock. I'm standing on the edge of a very high underground cliff. The place is dimly lit by a bluish glow, from some kind of glowing blue liquid river, far, far, below. I feel a wave of heat rising from below. Not uncomfortable at all, it feels very nice. The formations of rock, are incredible. And in places I can see that there is vegetation, giant leafy plants. I can tell that this is some kind of cave system that goes on indefinitely, deep beneath the earth.

Immediately upon entering this place, I know that this can not be real. There is no way all this can be inside of a snowbank, on the side of the road. A couple of times I repeat to myself, "This can't be real." I then reach up to pinch my nose, to check if I'm dreaming. Sure enough, I can easily breath.

Without hesitation, I take a running leap off the side of the cliff. As my feet leave the ground, I wonder if maybe I decided it was a dream to easily, and I feel a slight tingling in my stomach as I begin to fall. But no, I can fly. I swoop down across the canyon, and around this tall pillar of flowing twisted rock that is rising up from below.
Then I begin kind of drift/glide in a circular descent around the towering column.

It's getting darker though, I can barely see anything now. I try to shine my flashlight, but it's not giving off much light. It's a dream flashlight, no wonder it's not working right I think, and I toss the useless thing. A couple of times things start to get brighter, but when I focus on the lit areas, it goes dark again. And I wonder if it gets too dark, if the dream will destabilize on me. In the darkness off to my left , I can hear a strange clicking sound. I can tell that there is some kind of unknown creature making the sound. I think, Wow, this is going to be so cool weird creatures and all.
But then I abruptly wake.

After that I have a really hard time falling back to sleep. But when I do, I find my way back to the cave.

Return to the cave
No reality check needed

I eventually fall back to sleep. There is a little bit more going on this time. there was some weird stuff going on, and I'm with my brother. But then I see the cave opening again, and I remember it. I say to my brother. "You have to check this out. There is a whole other world inside this snowbank.

I'm not sure if I was Lucid before entering with my brother, but I think I must have been. I took my brother by the arm and dragged him into the cave. I just had to show him this place. And as I enter, I know for sure I was Lucid because I was thinking about what an incredible, and rare opportunity it was to be returning to the same dream place again. And I think about the one time this happened to me before. And I'm very excited about getting to try this again.

I pull my brother to the edge of the underground cliff. And with out even mentioning that this is a dream. I know he is going to freak, but I let go of his arm and leap off into open air. Everything is pretty much the same, but there is much more light this time, I can see easily. I'm so excited as a fall and swoop down across the canyon yelling, "Woooooohoooooo!" I swoop around the tall pillar of flowing rock again, and then to my left, I can see the creature that I could only hear in the darkness of the previous dream. It's a giant green lizard like thing, crawling across the side of the cavern wall.
Thrilled to see it, I begin flying in that direction intending to interact with the thing in some way. But as I get closer I abruptly wake.

I think my excitement cause me to wake up.

I almost got Lucid again in a later adventure dream. I had to enter some dangerous caves and battle some creatures with a magical sword. Before entering I remembered how I had gotten Lucid twice while entering caves, and briefly wondered if this could be a dream too. But then forgot about it and went in to be confronted by a swarming hoard of giant monsters, that were too much for my pitiful sword to handle.
And I woke up while being killed. I could not get away from them.

Monkey recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm at place that is supposed to be my job, even though it is nothing like my work place. And there is a person with me who seems like someone I know well, but I can't think of who it was supposed be. We are standing by a wall that is all glass. The large window does not look outside, but out to another area of the building. There is a bunch of people walking about out there, and my friend and I are just standing there watching them.

I see a lady out there walking a monkey. The monkey is wearing a harness with a leash attached to it. It's actually a small chimpanzee. I point this oddity out to my friend. The chimp notices me, and walks right up to the glass and stares at me. To my friend I say. "I think it's reality check time!" I pinch my nose, and I can breath through it easier than any other time I've done this RC. This is a dream? I then look at my watch, And a quick glance is all it takes to confirm that I'm dreaming. The face of the watch is filled from corner to corner with funny looking scrambled numbers.

Excited now, I nudge my friend on the arm and say, " See, reality check time! It is a dream! Lets get out of here and find something fun to do!" He easily believes me and follows as I turn and hurriedly make my way to an exit door.

We exit through the door into a series of corridors. For some reason I seem to know exactly where I'm going, and follow the corridors at a jog to some fun dream place. I look back and I see that more than just my original friend has followed. There is six or more people trailing along behind. And I know they are all aware it's a dream too, and want to come along for the fun. "Wow." I say to my friend. "We have a whole train going here, cool" I'm so excited I begin to sing. "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands." I clap twice, and he others do too. "If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it, if you're happy and you know it clap your hands."

I leave off at that, starting to feel stupid singing that song. We come to the end of a corridor with a door. I swing the door open, and we all exit to the top of a tall stairway. The stairway leads down to a huge grocery store. "We're here!" I say to the others. (Why I'm thinking this to be the cool dream place I'm not sure.) "Ok now what to do." I say. Then all of my Lucid friends descend the stairs and go running off through the store to do what ever it is they feel like doing. I then cup my hands around my mouth and shout as loud as I can across the store. "I want to fuck someone!"

At the time I actually believe us all to be having a shared dream. This makes me feel even more obnoxious than I normal do in my Lucids. I want to show off or something I guess. I descend the stairs, in what manner I don't really remember. Near the bottom of the stairs is the check out counters. I run to one of the check outs and leap up onto the conveyor belt. I sit down and ride it to the cashier. The cashier is an older lady, and she has not noticed me. She is messing with the cash register. "Excuse me." I say
to her. "I'd like to purchase a young hottie that looks like such and such." I go on to describe exactly what type of female I want. Then, "Do you have anything like that here in your store?"

I don't wait for a reply though, I just laugh and leap off the counter, then take off running. As I run past a vegetable stand I see a bunch of really large green cucumber looking things. They look kind of like those seedless cucumbers, only much bigger. They are a couple of feet long at least. I grab one off the stand, and with both hands I hold it down in front of my pants like it's a really big dick. I continue running through the store like this, and I start shouting. "Hoot hooooooooot!" Like a train as loudly as I can. I'm trying to make as big a spectacle of myself as I can. There is lots of people in this store.

I see a couple of really hot looking women shopping, they are browsing through some food stuff. One of them in particular catches my eye. As I come upon them I shout. "Hey you! Come over here and bend over!" I run up to her and start trying to poke her in the behind with my big cucumber. She squeals and runs away. I chase after her.
I chase her all around the store brandishing my big cucumber dick, and shouting, "Hoot hooooot!" Like a train.

I see my original friend that I had started this dream with. "Hoot hooooot!" I shout to him. He just starts laughing.

After a bit of this I finally burn up some of my obnoxious excitement over being Lucid, and slow down. I see Stella. Somebody that I work with in real life. Without even mentioning that this is a dream, I somehow know that she is Lucid as well. She smacks me on the arm and asks, "What are you doing?" Referring to my outrageousness. I start thinking about how cool it is that I'm having a shared dream with so many different people. I think that I should try and get some information to confirm this is a shared dream, like a password or something.

At this point I think I accidentally make myself wake up because I start thinking about it, then it seems like the dream is starting to fade.

Then I open my eyes and it's my real eyes. But it felt different from when I normally wake up from Lucids. It felt like I had forced my physical eyes open while still in the dream. Normally I wake up from Lucids with my eyes still shut, then open my real eyes after I'm sure I'm out of the dream.

Bear attack recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm outside my house in the back yard. There is a black bear in the yard eating a large fish. I'm standing right next to it, I'm not sure how I got there. The bear gets scared and runs away leaving the fish behind. I'm surprised that the bear ran form it's food, and I think that black bears are really as chicken as people say. I take advantage of my good fortune and make a dash for the house.

The bear notices that I left the food, and it realizes that I'm afraid of it. This gives the bear new confidence, and it charges back in my direction. I try the door but it's locked. I fumble with my keys but it's too late, the bear is upon me. I turn and face it.
I try to look as mean as I can, raise my arms in the air and yell, "Raaar!" This works, the bear backs off some and I am able to get in the house and close the door.

The door has a window on it, and I look out and see the bear circling around. Then I think, wait a second, it's a bear. I should have done a reality check by now. Disappointed in myself for not doing an RC as soon as I saw it, I reach up and pinch my nose now. I can breath, but I'm confused by this. I was sure that it was real this time. I do the reality check again, and I can still breath.

Slowly I realize that it must be a dream, and that I should just let myself believe the RC. But it seems so real, it does not feel like a dream at all. I make a run for the nearest wall, jump up, kick off it, and do a cartwheel flip. Yup, this is a very familiar dream feeling and I'm completely sure I'm dreaming now. As I land on my feet I realize that I can now safely confront the bear, and I'm excited to do so.

The bear has somehow gotten in the house. It's just a little baby bear now, and it's laying in my recliner. I go to the bear, roll it over on it's back, and start scratching it's belly. I wake up while playing with it.

Lucidity trigger unknown

I'm flying, and I'm Lucid. I'm not sure how I got to this point. I have earlier dream memories, but I'm not sure if they were a part of this same dream. I'm flying very high above a road that runs between mountains. The scene is very beautiful and I'm just enjoying it as I leisurely fly along.

Ahead, between two mountain peaks the land drops away. It would be like a waterfall if there was any water, but its a road that just drops off. I fly out past the drop off, and my height becomes ridiculous. Far, far below are scattered houses like a wide spread town.

Looking down, I can see a woman I know standing near the edge of the drop off. She is a co-worker, and is looking up at me. Trying to show off, I begin a tumbling free fall. But I don't fall, I just kind of turn end over end, staying in one spot. Well, since I'm not falling I'll just fly even higher. Higher and higher I fly, and the co-worker below laughs. I can see power-lines running along near me. I think it's odd that they are this high in the sky, but they don't hinder me in any way. I get so high that even though I can still feel the sensation of motion, I don't feel like I'm really going anywhere.

To my surprise, the woman below has begun levitating upwards to meet me. She is levitating in a straight backed, cross legged sitting position. When she gets to me she says that she normally does not like to fly this high in Lucid Dreams, because of something happens to her perspective or something. Then we begin flying together in the direction that I was originally going in. Out over the town below. As we are flying there are colors that appear all around us. They are like wispy reds, blues, and
yellows flying all around us. They are hard to see through, and I think that this is what the woman was talking about. I also think that these are coming from her mind, and not mine.

I fly through them a little ways and the dream shifts. I lose Lucidity and there is someone talking about something horrible that happened to some people. And they are trying to find the answers by examining their skeletal remains. (This is because of the stuff I was watching on investigation discovery before I went to sleep last night.)

What a beautiful flight. You're lucky that you found a friend to share it with.
