TV show transition to Lucidity

Here is an old one I had written down in 99, not a part of my signature count. I was trying to get back into Lucid Dreaming, but then I got into dirt biking and forgot about it for the most part.

It started out that I was watching a "The Dukes Of Hazard" TV show. The show was taking place at "Garden Of The Gods" park in Colorado Springs. It's a park At the foot of the mountains below "Pikes Peak." Home to towering orange rock spires where many people go rock climbing.

As I watched the show I realized how much I missed the place and I started looking for exact details of places that I recognized. Then I was no longer looking at a show on TV, but ended up in the scene. I find I familiar spot. At the real life park there is an indent in one of the rock faces. But in this show it's a little different.

Now, it's a room with a large door on the entrance. Daisey Duke is there with me and she opens the door. The room is kind of like a jail cell, with jail like beds along the walls. There was a stairway leading down into the room. Daisey and I go down the stairs into the room. I'm thinking about how this pace is so different because it's on TV. Then to Daisey I say. "You know, in the real world." That's as far as I got with the sentence, because the words triggered the full realization that I'm dreaming.

I begin walking around the room in wonder and amazement. I was mumbling to myself "This is a dream! I finally got Lucid again! I start to think about how I must look wandering around gawking at everything and talking to myself. I look over at Daisey, and she is staring at me with an odd expression on her face.

I go back to the stairway entrance and levitate up the stairs and out the open door.
Once outside I keep rising into the air, slowly at first, then faster and faster until the ground was left far below. I could see "Pikes Peak," And the rest of the mountain range stretching into the distance. The wind picks up really strong, I think that I may not be able to make it to the mountains.

I bring myself back to the ground, and my worrying about not being able to get to the mountains made them disappear completely. I was now standing on the shore of an ocean, the total opposite. As far as I could see was just water, and there were many freighter type ships on the water. I could hear Loud festive music seemingly coming out of the air itself. I now notice a crowed of people around me, and I'm in the middle of some festival.

(After waking I realized that the festival must have manifested out of my intense feeling of celebration at becoming Lucid again.)

I was disappointed that the mountains were gone, I wanted to go flying through them. I decide to try and bring them back. I close my eyes and try to visualize the mountains in front of me again. When I open my eyes I had half changed it back. I must of only half believed I could do it. The ocean became a swamp with hilly islands and shallow water between them. I start splashing through the water towards the islands. The water was ice cold, and I was fascinated by the realistic coldness.
I started to wonder how much more time I had before I woke up. And I then woke up.

Tuesday/May/12/1993
Moon Recognized

I found this one last night, It's probably the earliest Lucid I had written down in a notebook. Not a part of my signature count.

I'm with my brother, and we are climbing on a telephone pole. This does not seem safe to me, so I convince my brother that we should get down. We climb down and are walking along when I notice the moon in the sky, and how abnormally beautiful it is.
I start thinking that it is like the way the moon looks in my dreams. As soon as I think this I realize I'm dreaming. I told my brother that we are dreaming and he believes me. I fly into the sky then yell down to my brother to follow me. He does, and we fly together for a little while before I wake up.

A Lucid Dream
January/29/1998

Found a couple from 98. There couldn't have been many in that year.

Not counted in my signature.

I was on the roof of a skyscraper building, Lucid. I don't remember how I became Lucid, or how I got here. I can remember the dream, but the description of it in my notebook is pretty vague. I remember being surrounded by many other skyscrapers, in a huge city. I dive off head first, falling and falling until I near the ground. Then I stop myself and fly back up to the top of the building. I then do the backwards falling thing.
I hold out both arms, relax, and fall backwards off the roof, tumbling end over end all the way to the ground. I land and enter another building. I wander around exploring the place for a while. I have a vague memory of throwing a chair through a window. I eventually come to a place where there is some people sitting at a table. I sit down and talk with them. My notes end there without describing what was said.

A Lucid Dream
Monday/December/ 14/1998

All I have written down is that I met up with an old friend that I had lost contact with. We were both Lucid and thinking we were having a shared dream. And that we were flying around having a good time.

I remember having this dream, and the excitement of it. But not any of the visual details.

A Lucid Dream
Date: Unknown

I never put a date on this one but it's probably from 1999. Not counted in my signature.

I'm on a space ship, and in one of the walking corridors when I become Lucid spontaneously. There are doors along the corridor and I go through one. Through the door is a room, a living space I think. I wander around the room look at things. I try to find something about this dream that does not seem real. But I can't, everything looks perfectly real to me. After a it I decide to exit the room the same way I entered. I want to try and phase through the door instead of opening it. I take a deep breath and relax, sending my awareness through my body, trying to make myself insubstantial like I used to do in the old days. I then walk into the door.
Instead of passing through the door, the door instead explodes with great force into splinters. Surprised, I go through the opening. I end up losing Lucidity and getting caught up in the dream.

A Lucid Dream
August/19/1994

I was thinking about skipping this one, But I may as well get them all down. Not counted in my signature.

My mom and I were getting ready to go live in the wilderness for some unknown reason. While we are getting stuff together, I become Lucid, probably spontaneously. I go outside and levitate into the air and begin flying down the road. There is person walking and they ask how come I can fly like that. I tell that it's because this is a dream. I think I woke up there. There isn't anything else written down, and I don't remember anything else about it.

A Lucid Dream
Monday/May/11/1993

I found this one written down just before the other 1993 one. I missed it before. Not counted in my signature.

The only thing I have written down is that I convinced everyone in the world they were dreaming.

I don't remember the details very well, but I remember being out on a street, and lots of people around. There were a lot of open air food stands. I tell someone that this is a dream and they believe me. That person goes and tells someone else, and then that person tells someone. Then so on and so on, until the word spreads and everyone knows it. People begin looking to me like I'm some kind of messiah. Crowds gather, everyone wants to talk to me. It was pretty weird.

A Lucid Dream
Date: Unknown
Wheelie recognized

Not counted in my signature.

I was at my brothers house riding my dirt bike. I pull a wheelie and start doing circles around the garage holding the wheelie. I become Lucid knowing that I'm only this good at wheelies in my dreams. I slow down the bike trying to decide what to do. I decide It will be fun to go Lucid dirt biking, so I hit the throttle and go riding around like a maniac. I hit this really steep jump and do a complete back flip in air with the bike.

(This was back when people were still trying to figure out if it was possible to do a back flip on a dirt bike.)

I smoothly land the bike. My brother sees what I had just done, and asks me how I was able to do that. I tell him it's because it's a dream and there is no gravity. From there I keep riding, but I end up losing Lucidity.

Lucid Dream # 7 of 2010
Malfunctioning device recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I wasn't going to count this one at first. But since I've decided to be less strict on my DILD counting this year, I'm going to count it. I actually got Lucid four times last night but I'm only counting two of them. I've also started doing nose-pinch RC's again. They are so much easier for me to remember to do in dreams. Still not giving up on the watch though.

I have a false awakening. I wake up in bed the bedroom of what is a lot like my old apartment in Colorado. The apartment is just a little bigger than it really was, more rooms. I get up and walk into the hall. There is another bedroom that wasn't really there in real life. I open the door and look in. I have the feeling that there is some unknown person sleeping on the bed. The sun has not yet come up yet, so it's still kind of dark. I flip the switch for the light. The light comes on but it's dim, and not doing much to light up the room. I walk up to the bed to get a closer look. There isn't really anybody on the bed, bed the blankets are messed up in a way that it kind of looks like a person there.

As I'm leaving the room I notice that the way the light on the ceiling is so dim, it's a lot like how lights can be in dreams sometimes. So I decide to RC. I pinch my nose closed, And I can breath through it. Lucid, I walk out into the living room. I'm in a second floor apartment and there is a very large window that over looks the parking lot. I can't see out of it though, because it's still dark outside. I'm about to dive head first into the glass, to get outside. But then I get the feeling that I'm about to lose the dream. This stresses me out and the dream slips away from me.

Lucid Dream # 8 of 2010
Bear recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm at the cabin. I'm outside in the front yard when I see I large dark shape coming through the woods in my direction. I start walking backwards when I remember to do a reality check. I pinch my nose and can breath. Lucid, I have a weird thought. I'm thinking it's really cool that this is the third time I've done an RC, and gotten Lucid in as many dream. ( As far as I know this was actually only the second time, unless there was one I didn't recall.)

I look back at the bear. It's no longer a bear, but a giant turtle. But no ordinary giant turtle. This one has the head of nerdy looking human boy, with large glasses. turtle-boy stops in the woods, now seeming scared to come all the way out. I sister comes walking up, and I realize that the turtle-boy must be afraid of her. "Quit scaring the turtle boy!" " Here turtle-boy." I call to it/him. And he reluctantly starts coming towards me again.

I notice that the huge bulk of the turtle-boys shell has cut a wide trail through the woods. I forget about the turtle-boy, walking right past it and down the new trail.
I ways down the trail I come to a group of people that are working on this new trail.
There is a wide stream and they have just built a new walking bridge over it. The workers are singing a song in celebration of the new construction. I walk out onto the bridge and look out over the swiftly moving stream, and wake up.

I had another Lucid last night that I was going to count. But I decided not to because I can't remember it very well. I just remember walking with some girl at the park. I remember asking her if she has heard of Lucid Dreaming and that we were in a dream right now. And I'm pretty sure I became Lucid from another nose-pinch RC. Then later I did a random watch RC. The numbers changed on me, but I woke up the instant I realized it was a dream.

Lucid Dream # 9 of 2010
Spontaneous Lucidity

I'm in the middle of a wide open field. There is a girl on a brown horse standing immobile. There is another woman standing in front of the horse, and the two women are talking about something unknown. I sort of remember what happened just before this moment but it was kind of weird, and completely unrelated to this moment. The dream just kind of shifted here.

I'm not sure why but I walk up to the horse intending to take the reins from the girl and lead the horse away. As I approach, Lucidity spontaneously washes over me. I take a moment to appreciate the moment, and how real it seems. Both the girl and horse are very beautiful, and as real as life. I slide one hand along the side of the horse, and I realize what a great opportunity this is. I become worried about waking up too soon, because I've had that problem lately. (Should have remembered to spin. I was just thinking about spinning last night too.) I leap up onto the back of the horse behind the girl, then reach around in front of her to take the reins. Just as we begin to take off running across the field, I wake.

Lucid Dream # 10 of 2010
Spontaneous Lucidity?

This one was pretty low level, but I did know I was dreaming.

I'm with a small group of people, one of them was my brother. We were outside and walking along a snowy trail. The trail isn't really anything more than a narrow path in the snow made from others frequently walking there. The path circles a large rock structure that is to our left. It is like a small mountain that can be walked around.

For some unknown reason we are just following this path, around, and around. Suddenly I say to the others. "This dream is getting boring, time to get Lucid!" I'm calling it spontaneous Lucidity, but it's more like one of those dreams when I feel like I had known the whole time. There was no sudden rush of realization.

With great agility, I make a running leap up the side of the rock structure. Leaping and flipping from boulder to boulder. Ah, this is more like it, I think, as I begin a crazy routine of acrobatics across the rock face. There are protruding boulders here and there, all at differing height levels. And I'm having fun doing perfect flips between them. Sometimes front flips, sometimes back flips.

As I'm doing this, the scene smoothly changes without me even recognizing the change. We are now indoors, and I'm now bouncing off the walls of some room instead of a rocky cliff. I then begin climbing up a wall, once I get to the top of the wall I begin crawling across the ceiling. There are are wooden beams crossing the ceiling at intervals. And I can see lost of spider webs connected where the beams meet the flat of the ceiling.

I continue crawling across, pretending I'm a spider. I look down and say to my brother, " Look, I'm a spider." Then I think, duh, Spider-man, I'm always Spider-man in my dreams, nothing new here. Then for a second I'm afraid I'm about to fall, but then I remember it doesn't matter. To prove it I let go of the ceiling on purpose and let myself fall. I spin around in mid air so that I'm falling face forward, then land on my feet and wake up.

Lucid dream # 11 of 2010
Lucidity trigger unknown

This is kind of weird to try and describe. I'm with my mom and already Lucid. We are outside, possibly walking, I'm not sure. But we are moving along at a steady pace. I'm describing something to her about Lucid Dreaming. I can't remember what exactly was said, but there was something about movies too.

I start flying, I'm not even sure how that happened really. It's like we came over the top of a hill or something and just started flying into the sky. This is weird, because I know my mom was with me, but I don't really see her. I'm concentrating on my flying, and yet I'm still talking away to my mom. There is some point I'm trying to make to her.

Below, are rolling hills covered with houses. The flying becomes increasingly fantastic, to the point where I'm having difficulty continuing what I'm trying to say.
It's like trying to have idle conversation while in the middle of an orgasm. I start diving down towards the ground, then swooping upwards and high into the air. Then once at a certain great height I would let go and get a sense of anti gravity for a moment before dropping downward back towards the earth. I would do this over and over again.

The thing that really sticks out to me is the way it felt. Especially the point where I would reach the highest point, then let go of control for a moment. It was totally a physical sensation, like nothing I remember feeling while flying before. I remember saying out loud, "Now this moment right here is what makes all the work worth while." It was so blissful. I start thinking about how long this Lucid has been. There was more Lucidity before the point where I started recording this. But when I wake up I'm unable to recall the beginning of the dream.

Lucid Dream # 12 of 2010
Lucidity trigger unknown

I'm in a narrow tunnel inside of a wall. It's like a ventilation shaft. I'm already Lucid. I possibly WILDed into this scene, I'm not sure. I make my way down the tunnel, scooting towards the grate that covers the opening. I can see movement beyond the grate. There is somebody in the room. I make it to the grate, and the opening seems to small to fit through, but I know that it doesn't matter in a dream. I just pull myself through. The grate flips up like it's on hinges, and I enter the room.

There is a stunning blond girl in tight jeans. I say, "Wow you're hot." I force myself to ignore her and move on. I make my way to the exit door of this place. On my way there I start rubbing my hands together hoping it will help keep me in the dream.
I focus my attention on the feeling of my hands rubbing together. It's interesting, it feels realistic and I can even feel the heat being generated by the friction.

I open a door and step outside to a sunny day. I'm outside the town houses I lived at as a kid again. Only I just stepped out of the neighbors door, not the one I lived in.

Ok, now to continue the task I was working on before my dry spell started. To practice pushing through walls. I walk up to the wall of the town house That I had just exited. I put my right hand up against the wall, it feels solid as solid can be. I put my other hand up against the wall too, and begin to push really hard. Nothing is happening. Wait, I'm doing this wrong. I know that I can at least push my arm into the wall.

I stop pushing and put my fingertips up against the wall instead of my palms. I start pushing, steadily increasing the pressure. It works, my hands sink in like it's soft rubber. I keep on pushing all the way up to the ends of my arms. This time I don't stop here and I push my face right into the wall. My whole body sinks in.
Cool I did it, I'm inside the wall. I keep pushing until I kind of pop out the other side.

I'm excited to find out my new location. Disappointed, I find myself right back in front of the wall I started from. I look behind me to see if the wall I just passed through is there. But it has disappeared. I have gone nowhere.

I try again. This time I put my head against the wall and push. My head sinks in, and I push until my head pops out the other side. I look from side to side along the wall. I have my hind end still sticking out one side, and my head sticking out the other. But I look ahead, and see that the townhouse wall is still before me. I push the rest of my body through. And like before, the wall behind me disappears and I'm standing in the same spot from which I started.

Ok, what ever. I'm not going to just do this over and over. I jump back and do a weak little spin. I walk in the direction of a small play ground us kids always called the little park. Opposed to the big park, which was a little ways in the opposite direction. I tell myself that I have all the time in the world because this dream will last forever. (A technique mentioned by both Vex Kitten and Naiya.) But I fear that just thinking about this, is enough of thinking about waking up to cause it to happen.

I look to the sky and I see dark rain clouds despite the fact that it's sunny out. I think it could rain soon. The dream fades.

That experience pushing on the wall sounds disorienting. I'm sure it was frustrating at the time, but it sounds very cool looking back on the dream.

Well, it was annoying that I wasn't getting anywhere. But I was having a lot of fun experimenting with the wall anyway. I'll have to try it again, maybe from an inside wall next time.

Lucid Dream # 13 of 2010
Anxiety induced Lucidity

I start out viewing a scene outside of a high school. There are a bunch of teens sitting at a picnic table hanging out. There is a weird conversation going on. I don't remember it word for word but one of the kids had created some money making scam and tricked the others into giving him money, and they were confronting him about it.

Next, I'm in the scene and I'm one of them. One of the kids pulls out a bag, it's crystal meth, he starts putting lines out on the table. Everyone starts snorting the lines and someone asks me if I'm going to have some. "No," I say. "I've tried it before but I'm not stupid enough to get into that toxic stuff." But then I end up changing my mind thinking it won't kill me to do it once. I put my face on the table and snort a big dose. I start feeling pretty good.

Suddenly it starts to rain pretty hard. All of us start running to the parking lot, heading for our cars. Once to the parking lot there is a surprise waiting. Cops, lots of cops. It's a drug bust! The cops start ordering everyone face down on the ground. And there are others going through each car looking for drugs.

I start to freak out. I don't have anything on me but I know that they will somehow be able to tell it's in my blood. Why oh why did I have to decide to do a line of that shit.

As my anxiety increases over being about to get arrested, I start to imagine this not real at all, but a dream. As I start to believe that I actually am dreaming I start to run.
As I start to run I become more fully Lucid. I get an explosion of excitement and energy. My running becomes super high speed. I run and run until I come to small mountain like hill. I run up the side of it so fast it takes seconds to reach the top.
I rocket into the sky. The dream fades to black. No! Damn it! I really wanted this one. I refuse to admit I'm waking up and I pretend to still be Lucid Dreaming. I continue my flight over the landscape. I'm flying, flying. The dream isn't really there, but not completely gone. I can feel it there, even though I can't see it.

Suddenly I'm in my kitchen, looking in the freezer. It's not very stable it keeps trying to fade away. Wait, I'm not even sure I'm still sleeping. I'll check by trying to open my eyes. Oops, mistake. My eyes open for real and I'm awake.

Good job holding on to the dream! What a weird way to get lucid!

Thanks Nomad. Holding onto the dream when it slips away is something I really need to work on.

Lucid Dream # 14 of 2010
Lucidity trigger unknown

I'm not going to post this one in detail because of mostly sexual content. And it was somewhat disturbing. I'm surprised I even recalled it because I didn't get a nap in yesterday, and I woke up from it after only about an hour and a half of sleeping.

I'm in a bar. I don't remember how I got there. Something has caused me to become very angry, enraged actually. I want to kill this guy. He is the bar tender, I think. I have no idea what he did to trigger such a rage. I look around for a knife. I don't find one, but there is a screwdriver laying on the bar top. I pick up the screwdriver and attack him. I don't remember the actual attack that well, but I do remember that I stabbed him in the head, plunging the screwdriver all the way into his skull.

After this point I'm Lucid. It's one of those times when I just know without any sudden rush of realization. I'm pretty sure I was not Lucid while stabbing the guy in the head. I'm still a bit crazed though. The rest of the people in the room are freaking out after seeing me kill the bartender.

I demand that everyone there remove their cloths. They do it. I rub my hands together to help keep me in the dream. (It must have helped because I stayed in it for a while.) Once they are all naked I tell them to start having sex with each other. They do. After some time I decide to join in. I don't wake up right a way after joining in, but it's not too long before I do.

Not having a good week. Trying to shake myself out of this mood I'm in.

Acrobatics recognized

Not much to tell about this one. Very low level Lucidity

I'm in the living room of a house or apartment. There are some other people there as well. I don't remember why but I start doing this circular moonwalk break dance thing I used to think was cool to do when I was a kid. I start going in circles faster and faster, until I get into one of my all out crazed acrobatic fits. I gradually become aware that I'm dreaming as my speed becomes such that I'm running across the walls of the room. For a while it's like centrifugal force is holding me to the walls as run across them. I begin flipping and leaping all over the room. The whole thing is super fast. Until I finally run up one wall and start casually crawling across the ceiling. From this vantage I tell someone that this is a dream, and for a moment I reflect on how easy it is for me to know I'm dreaming right now. It seems kind of weird to me that I know, but I just know somehow.

Unfortunately I end up losing Lucidity and getting caught up in dream events.

Lucid Dream # 16 of 2010
Spontaneous Lucidity

There is some kind of dark demonic winged horse like thing after me. (I don't remember the beginning very well.) I'm going to need my sword to defend against it. Lovingly I draw the sword. It's a beautiful sword. It's not just any sword, it has an enchantment designed especially for sending these types of beings back to there own realm. I'm not afraid, I'm fully confident. I engage the beast in battle, sword against sword, we fight.

In the middle of the battle Lucidity spontaneously washed over me. At the same time the scene changes. I'm now in an apartment, I still have the sword, and still fighting the beast. only now I notice something very odd, I think it's kind of funny and wonder how I will describe it in my journal. I'm standing in front of this huge stained wood dresser type thing. Out of the dresser reaches the arm of the beast, and it is swinging it's own sword at me. This is so cool I think to myself. The sword in my hand seems so real. It's my sword, but I wonder how I will find it again next time I'm here. (In a dream Lucid.) For some time I continue to battle the arm of the beast. Having fun easily defending against it's attacks.

After a while I forget about the beast and just start playing around with the sword, spinning and twirling it all around me. I enjoy the feeling of being a sword master.
After a bit of this there is a knock at the door. I go to answer it. As I answer the door I completely forget I'm dreaming. There are two guys at the door I seem to know. I let them in. The dream continues for quite a while. I only remember bits and pieces of the rest of it. At one point I tell them about how I had been Lucid, and try to describe to them the dream battle with the beast.

After only an hour of sleeping I wake up and go to work. I come home and sleep for three more hours and get Lucid again in the next recalled dream.

Lucid Dream # 17 of 2010
Best dreamsign recognized
No reality check needed

This entire dream was very vivid and fun. Kind of odd since I've not had much recall in my naps at all the last couple of weeks.

I'm on the run from the law, I don't know why. (Maybe watching too many prison shows lately.) It's night but there is a lot of light form the moon. I'm outside climbing around a group of grassy hills. I climb to the top of one really steep one, that is more like a towering grassy cliff. At the top is a bowl shaped depression. This seems like a good place to hide. I lay on my side in the bottom of the depression, and curl up, planning to spend the night here. I can here the voices of people below. They are searching for me. One lady in particular is in charge of my capture. She is not a normal cop, a bounty hunter maybe.

Suddenly I see a hand, then the top half of the bounty hunter woman pulling herself up over the lip of the bowl shape. She sees me, and is so startled to find me there that she loses her grip and starts to fall. I reach out and grab her arm and she is dangling over the side. fall. "Don't drop me." She pleads. "Don't worry I've got you, I won't let you fall." I pull her to safety. She is grateful that I saved her life but she informs me that she still needs to bring me in. I understand, but I'm not about to let that happen.

My fear of prison is greater than my fear of falling and I leap head first off the cliff. As I leap I wonder how I will manage to land without being killed. But Then I become Lucid and I swoop upwards high into the sky. The bounty hunter woman is a small speck below. I shout down to her. "Just try and catch me now!" And I start flapping my arms in a silly imitation of a flying bird.

She yells something up at me I don't remember her exact words. They were not angry words, more of a playful frustration at my ability to get away from her. I realize that she is now Lucid too, and she has decided to take me up on my challenge. She leaps into the air and starts flying in my direction. Ha, she doesn't have a chance. There is no way she can match my speed, height, and over all flying skills.

I fly for a while, then turn to watch as she tries to get closer. I'm in an upright standing position, and I look around at the landscape and forest below. I'm struck by a sense of profound joy at being here. And I yell to the woman. "I so love it here!" "I could never wake up!" As loud as I can I shout several times. "I wish I would never wake up!"

Then fearing that these thoughts may cause me to be woken up, I start rubbing my hands together. Then I continue flying. I come to this massive tree and land on one of it's limbs. The tree is almost like something out of the "Avatar" movie, only there is no greenery on it. It's a labyrinth of giant trunks high in the sky. The trunks are so wide I can run along them with ease. The bounty hunter woman has made it to the tree and continues the chase. But now it has just become a playful dreaming game. And this is the highlight of the dream.

For the longest time we run along the many branching limbs. With my dreaming agility there is no way she could ever catch me. There are vines hanging from many of the limbs. I run and leap, doing flips through the air grabbing vines, swinging then letting go, flipping and landing on other limbs. running and running, swinging and flipping through the tree. What a joy.

Eventually we come to the end of the tree, I leap and fly out into open air. The bounty hunter follows. She is close to me now, but it's no longer a chase. We are just together.

I see this somewhat wide canyon. Lining the opposite side, is this army of really mean looking chimpanzees. They are making lots of noise, screaming in the chimpanzee way. The bounty hunter says to me. " You better not be planning on going over there." Now I have to, of course. I swoop across the canyon and land amidst the raging chimpanzees. But before any of them have a chance to attack me, I leap off the edge, swooping back to the bounty hunter. I say to her, "This is face your fears week you know." (Just made that up on the spot.) She takes my lead, and I watch as she swoops across the canyon as I did. She passes right through the line of chimpanzees, and continues beyond. I move to follow and abruptly wake up.

Lucid Dream # 18 of 2010
Malfunctioning device recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm in an apartment. I'm about to go to sleep. The bed is in the middle of the living room for some reason. I lay down and and get situated to sleep. I decide I want to look at my watch to see what time it is. It's too dark to read it, so I push on the light button. Nothing happens, the face of the watch remains dark. I now notice the watch is broken, the back has fallen off of it. I get out of bed to see whats going on with it, or if I can fix it.

As I walk across the room to turn on the light switch, I realize that my watch might be broken because I'm dreaming. I pinch my nose closed and I can breath through it. At first it doesn't really register that I'm breathing through my nose, and just keep walking over to the light switch.

I'm In the kitchen now, still breathing through a pinched nose. I think, well I am breathing through a pinched nose, I must be dreaming. But I'm not quite convinced.
I flip the light switch. The only light that comes on is the light in the stove. Annoying, If I could just see a little better I bet I could figure out if this is a dream or not. I go back into the living room and flip a light switch in there. A little light comes on on a shelf. It gives off about as much light as a night light. Even though I'm thinking that the lights probably are not working right because I am indeed dreaming, It doesn't seem like conclusive evidence, I need more proof. I think about shouting "light!" to see if that will work. But I don't really want to shout for some reason. I think I was afraid of waking someone up.

I walk into the hall that leads to the bedroom and bathroom trying to decide on a better reality check. Oh, I know, I'll just try to fly, duh. I jump into the air, kind of diving head first. Then I try catching myself in the air using TK, before I can fall to the floor.

It works, I hover a few feet above the floor levitating. Yay, Lucid. I levitate up to the ceiling, then I start flying all around the apartment. For some reason I'm thinking that this is my second Lucid of the day, and I'm excited about that.(This is the only dream I recalled very well today, Maybe I lost an earlier Lucid.)

After a little bit of flying around the apartment I decide to go out into the hall. I see a blond woman carry a basket of laundry into the laundry room. Then I notice that I'm wearing some weird pajama outfit that I don't actually own. Well, it will be funny to go around inn my pajamas. I walk to the end of the hall, through a door, and down a staircase. Then through another door and into the ground floor hall.

I see another woman, she asks me to keep the noise down. At first I'm thinking I don't give a shit this is a dream, and I'm about to tell her exactly that. But then I start listening to what she is saying. She is telling me that her daughter is sleeping and has to get up early for school for some music thing.

As I listen to her I start to lose Lucidity, thinking it's probably a good idea to stay on good terms with my neighbor, and not piss her off. She goes on to tell me about how noisy I am sometimes. She starts talking about a night when I had some friends over being loud all night, and one of them was carrying a shot gun. I'm confused at first, then I remember the incident she is talking about. I tell her that I was having some problems that day with some other people that were trying to break into my apartment. ( This incident actually took place in a completely different dream quite a while ago.) After finishing up the conversation I start making my way back to my apartment and wake up.

No reality check needed

This entire dream was very vivid and fun. Kind of odd since I've not had much recall in my naps at all the last couple of weeks.

I'm on the run from the law, I don't know why. (Maybe watching too many prison shows lately.) It's night but there is a lot of light form the moon. I'm outside climbing around a group of grassy hills. I climb to the top of one really steep one, that is more like a towering grassy cliff. At the top is a bowl shaped depression. This seems like a good place to hide. I lay on my side in the bottom of the depression, and curl up, planning to spend the night here. I can here the voices of people below. They are searching for me. One lady in particular is in charge of my capture. She is not a normal cop, a bounty hunter maybe.

Suddenly I see a hand, then the top half of the bounty hunter woman pulling herself up over the lip of the bowl shape. She sees me, and is so startled to find me there that she loses her grip and starts to fall. I reach out and grab her arm and she is dangling over the side. fall. "Don't drop me." She pleads. "Don't worry I've got you, I won't let you fall." I pull her to safety. She is grateful that I saved her life but she informs me that she still needs to bring me in. I understand, but I'm not about to let that happen.

That dream sounds amazing. Nice to see you're still having such great adventures, Caradon.

Hey Oneironaut! Thanks. Yeah, that was such a fun Lucid.

Interesting that you posted here today. Because last night I had a dream that I went to the DV meet up and met you. It was just a brief fragment but it was cool. Recall sucked last night. I watched a couple of your guitar playing videos by the way, you sound great.

Thanks, man! Very much appreciated.
And I haven't checked that thread in a while. Is there any chance of you coming to the meet up??
