I'm with some friends and we enter a closed school. It's kind of a mysterious place, lots of dark halls, rooms, and stairways. We are not supposed to be here. We start running all over the place. The school gradually transforms into a mall. The mall is still empty of people, except for now there are security guards that we have to avoid.

Things begin to get weird, difficult to describe. I continue running through the mall but not a normal kind of running. It's kind of like I'm doing the crab walk, only a super fast agile crab walk. There are these hilly structures all over the place that are almost like mini pyramids. I'm running and leaping over these things in my crab walk way as security try to catch up to me.

The setting transforms again and the mini indoor pyramids change to rocky outdoor cliffs. I'm running across the rocks. About this point I'm aware that I'm dreaming.
There is no sudden rush of realization, I'm just aware of it as if I always was. Coming up is the edge of a cliff. A good distance beyond the cliff is a great tower of rock. I want to leap the gap and land on rock tower. The wind begins to pick up really strongly. The wind is so strong that for a moment I don't think I will be able to make the leap. But the wind dies as suddenly as it started.


I want to do a long back flip across the gap, to land perfectly on the tower. But my control is not so great at the moment. I leap off the cliff and instead of going straight across, I go straight upwards. Higher and higher and higher. My climb into the sky is angled so that I end up over the rock tower. The way everything looks is incredibly beautiful. It looks like I'm in the middle of the grand canyon. It's intense.


I let myself fall straight down, feet first. I pick up speed, faster, and faster. It really feels like I'm falling out of control. I wonder how the impact is going to feel when I hit the top of the tower. I crash into it with great force but it's ok. It seems like a harsh impact but I land fine, on my feet. I walk to the edge of the rock and look down. My height is still very great. I can see people far below, they tiny like ants.


The tower I'm on is wider at it's base, so that the vertical cliff I'm looking down eventually, gradually, begins to slope outwards. I dive off the cliff head first, aiming for the sloping angle. I hit the slope on my hands, then hand spring off it and begin to flip through the air. I wake up in mid flip.

I'm in the ocean surfing. I spend a lot of time surfing. I keep trying to catch waves, but they just are not as big as I want them to be. I'm able to ride the small waves to the beach over and over again but it's somewhat dull. I keep fear going to far out into the water thinking I'm gong to get pulled out to sea by a riptide. At one point I hear a sucking noise. I look and see what looks like a small whirl pool. It's a little scary to think I could get sucked under, But I don't. I believe that there is supposed to be a tsunami coming, and I'm anxious to ride the giant wave.

On the beach I have a friend that is making a sand castle. I stop there to work on it with him for a little bit. After a bit, I see that the ocean waters are receding. Uh oh, I know that this means the big one is coming. I see a towering wall of water rise from the sea. Wholly shit, I grab my surf board and start running in the opposite direction. I want the water to catch me on the run and smoothly lift me.

The water catches me and I dive with my surf board then start riding on my stomach. There are houses ahead and I somehow get pushed through a door and into a house. The rooms of the house are flooding with water that's rushing like a fast river. I clutch my surf board like a floatation device as I'm being washed all around the house. I pass a front window and think maybe I should try to get out that way. The water is rushing and swirling so fast as it enters the house out there that I don't think it would be a good idea. At this point I reflect on the fact that I'm not afraid at all, and I wonder why that is. I'm just not.

I ride on my surfboard through the house to the back door. I get outside and somehow there is no water in the back of the house yet. I stand on the back steps holding my surf board, and over looking what looks like a huge construction site. A huge dirt pit with many construction vehicles and building materials. my perspective is high above it. I prepare myself for the water.

As the water comes upon me again, I'm aware that I'm dreaming. Again, there is no sudden rush of realization, I'm just aware of it. I easily step up onto the surf board and the wave lifts me into the air. I'm on the top edge of the wave and it carries me out over the construction site. I'm high in the air feeling like I'm flying. I'm thinking that this is a cool way flying. I start thinking about Mark, and I'm thinking that he should be the one having this dream. Because Mark is the surfer. I ride the wave for a little while, then the dream fades.

I'm out on the street on foot. It's a winter night, and I'm in a hurry to get somewhere. I'm not exactly sure where it was I was trying to go. Up ahead there is a big yellow front end loader plowing snow. It goes onto a road off to the side, a parking lot. I know it's going to come back out in a second, so I start running to get past that spot before the thing comes back out. I run past and I keep running, it feels really good to run. So good in fact that When I get to the place I'm supposed to be going, I decide that I just want to keep running, I run right on by and keep going.

I decide I want to see how far I can jump. I visually mark a spot on the road ahead, then leap. It's pretty far, I don't know if I can make it. Through sheer force of will I defy gravity, keeping myself in the air long enough to get past the spot I marked out.
I pass the mark, and still in the air I wonder how much farther I can make it. I'm able to keep myself in the air and I'm going a surprising distance.

I'm dreaming! Excited, I start flying higher until I'm a good distance above the houses. There is a cool winter breeze, it feels kind of good. I fly around about the house.s It's still night, so it's kind of dark. Windows in the houses are lit up with light. Even though it's dark, it's quite a realistic and beautiful scene. I'm feeling pretty good.
I think I might want to land so I start coming down. there are some big leafy trees with thin branches. I crash right through the branches of the trees. Then, on a whim, I grab I branch and use it like a vine and swing, using the centrifugal force to propel me back into the air. I fly out over some more houses, then I hear someone calling my name. It's my brother! He is half hanging out the second floor window of a house, calling me and waving me to come over.

I fly over there, then land on the edge of the roof just above him. I reach down and grab both of his arms, pulling him out of the window. The leap off the roof, taking him into the air and swinging him all around. I think about how good it feels to have super powers.

After a bit of swinging him around, I swing him right back into the window and into the lighted room. I enter after him. Then my brother starts showing me something he was doing on the computer, that's what he was calling me for. I wake.

The first part is kind of weird to describe. There is a herd of stampeding sheep. I'm running away, trying to keep from being trampled. This is taking place indoors. I run up a very steep stairway. The sheep follow up the stairs. I start kicking some of them back down the steps. They tumble down, as if falling down a cliff. The sheep become humans and I'm now trying to kick some woman back down the steps. The stampeding people have some kind of infection causing them to become crazed. I notice a team of people dressed in what looks like black bio hazard suits. They are carrying flame throwers. They begin torching all the infected people, and I run away not wanting to get torched. As I run away I'm thinking that this experience is going to cause me to have some freaky dreams.

I run out the front door. As I step outside, I'm exiting the townhouse I lived in as a kid. Down the front steps, I take an immediate right, then another right, running around the side of the building into the back yard. I keep an wary eye on the patio door, half expecting the guys with flame throwers to come running out after me. They never do.

I cross the back yard and run out into the street. I'm making for the Bridgemans restaurant that's across the road. (Everything is exactly the way it is in real life.)
for some reason I feel like I'll be safe if I can make it to Bridgemans.

As I cross the street I can see people everywhere. They are stumbling around. I realize that everyone is zombies. And I say out loud. " It's zombie time!" I must be starting to become Lucid here, because I'm unafraid and thinking of of the zombies as something fun.

I big fat zombie guy stumbles towards me. The zombie trips and falls down, then continues to drag and crawl after me. I'm becoming surrounded, there are more and more of them.I punch one dark haired zombie guy in the face, then struggle with it a little. I nearly get my hand bit and I think I had better be more careful.

I smoothly become fully Lucid here, there is no sudden rush of realization. I'm done with this stupid hand to hand zombie fighting. It's telekinesis time. This is awesome! I've never been Lucid in a zombie situation like this before. I'm completely surrounded by the zombie mob. There has to be hundreds of them, all coming at me.

I start TK'ing them like crazy. It's pretty humorous. I reach out with my mind, send one zombie after another flipping and flying through the air. Then I remember the TK force field I created In a non Lucid last Sunday. I want to see if I can do that again while Lucid I'm pretty certain that I can. I remember clearly how I did it.

It works! Instead of locking onto individual zombies I encircle myself with a force of power that violently repels anything that comes near. I charge through the mob of zombies cutting through them with ease. Zombie bodies flying everywhere. Then I leap into the air, flying just above their heads. I send out a wide force of TK in front of me, and down into the zombie mob. As I fly over them I cut them down like a lawn mower. Zombies are falling in waves. My flight of destruction lasts a minute or two and I wake.

Not sure how to describe the beginning. I have a cylon friend from from Battle Star Gallactica. It's one of the big cylon models from the original series, only this one is black. There was some stuff about being in this enemy place. Their commander was killed somehow and I know that my cylon friend and I are about to be blamed for it. I grab my cylon's arm and pull him out of the place.

Then we run and run, trying to get away.

We come to this road. There is a wall on each side of the road. I jump up onto the wall on one side and I'm running along the top of it. I'm smoothly Lucid again, I'm just aware it's a dream. No sudden rush of realization. I start doing sideways cartwheel type flips from one wall to the other, over the tops of the traffic on the road below. I do this all the way down the wall until I get to the end. Then I try to do a front flip off the end. I can't rotate all the way. I decide that since this is a dream I don't need to. I just land directly on my head, still in tuck position. And I just balance there upside down for a time, amused. Then a DC walks up, he bends over so I can look directly into his face from my odd position. He says something but I don't remember exactly what it was. And I wake up.

I had another Lucid TK dream last night but I only remember a fragment of that one so I'm not counting it. I also became Lucid in my final dream of the night. A dead, headless, frozen black bird, was growling at me like a dog. I get confused wondering how it could be growling at me. It's obviously dead, and frozen stiff. And no head even!

I decide it would be a good idea to do reality check now. I calmly reach up and pinch my nose closed. Remembering how I didn't get Lucid the last time I did a nose pinch RC, I make a point to closely pay attention to the way it feels when I do the RC. I can breath. Oh wow, I'm Lucid again! wake up.

I like that. I also like how the herd of sheep turned into people, then into zombies. You must be spending too much time in airports, or something.

Lol, I don't how that ended up happening. No airports for me.

Lmfao. Man, that sounds amazing. Reminds me of Shaun of the Dead, a bit, with the running to the restaurant.

Lol. You're right, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe next time I should try and pretend to be a zombie.

Excellent nap recall full of crazy adventure. Oddly enough, I get Lucid during the most mundane of them.

I'm in a house. The house is kind of a combination of the house I lived in as a teenager, and the town house I lived in as a kid. There is one person in the house with me, my mother. My Mom isn't actually with me at the moment as I go about doing ordinary things. She is sleeping in another room somewhere, I think.

I end up going upstairs to take a shower, everything is normal. No weird dream bathroom stuff going on. I get out of the shower and I'm drying off with a towel.

I hear my Mom shouting my name. "Whats going on!?" "What are you doing up there!?" "Taking a shower!" I quickly get dressed and go out to see what all the fuss is about. "Do you hear that?" "What is it?" She asks. I don't hear anything at first. I don't hear anything odd at first. Then I notice what sounds like the TV on in the other room. "It's just the TV." "Not that," she says. I listen more carefully. Then I hear a faint something, sounds like voices.

I following the sound. It takes me to a room. (Still upstairs.) There is a little white radio on a dresser or something. The radio is on and inaudible voices can be heard through a bunch of static. I turn the dial trying to better tune in to the station, or any station. But I just keep getting mostly static. This radio sucks, may as well turn it off I'm thinking. I try to turn it off but it won't turn off. I unplug it from the wall, that works.

I leave my Mom and go back to the bathroom to get the rest of whatever I left in there. Once in the bathroom I stop and think. Hey, that radio was malfunctioning. I should do a reality check just in case. Then I think, this will be weird if it turns out to be a dream. I pinch my nose closed and I can breath easily.

Instantly Lucid I leave the bathroom again and find my Mom. "This is a dream!" I tell her. Then I make my way to the stairs. My Mom follows. On my way there I remember to look at my watch. I look at it a couple of times, it's kind of hard to see but I can tell the numbers look weird. My Mom walks down the stairs. I leap over the railing and fly down.

We walk through the main floor. I open the basement door and leap head first down the steps, then do a perfect front flip, landing on my feet at the bottom of the stairs. My mom follows. I walk into the middle of the basement, it's the town house basement. I wonder what my purpose in coming down here was, or what I should do next. I then remember that practicing changing dream scenes is on my to do list.
I also remember the Dream Views island carnival meet up task.

I decide I will try and change the scene, teleporting to the Dream Views island carnival. Even though lack of practice at this I feel fairly confident that I will be able to do it, at least teleporting somewhere, if not the exact place I want to go. I try to get the feel of the location I want when I notice my Mom watching me, wondering what I'm going to do, I guess.

I realize I shouldn't leave my Mom here, I'll take her with. I put my arm around her, thinking that this will cause her to come with me.

But once my arm is around her, I kind of enjoy the close feeling that we never shared in real life. Now, instead of trying to change scenes, I start talking to my Mom. We have a conversation that I can clearly remember. I start telling her things That I never would for real. I enjoy it but at the same time I feel kind of uncomfortable worrying that maybe it's really her, and that she will remember this.
But then I forget about that, doubting that she will, even though it seems very real. I even notice her eyes getting teary. I start to feel like I'm kind of ruining the dream. I know I won't want to post the conversation in my journal.

I tell her I have to go. I turn from her and walk away, then wake.

I'm in the movie theater getting ready to watch some 3-D movie. It was a pretty long dream. I kept waking up and going right back into it after falling back to sleep. There was a lot of annoying stuff going on that seemed to last forever. Trying to find the right place to sit. Peoples heads in the way of the screen. Can't find my 3-D glasses. weird things going wrong with the movie screen. Weird events taking place with other people in the theater. Odd bathroom stuff.

Eventually the movie gets going and something odd happens. I don't remember how it happened but I'm now in the movie. I find myself climbing some kind of tall tower. When I say I'm in the movie, I am literally. As I climb the tower, I can look out and see the audience watching me from below. I'm not alone on this tower, I'm being pursued. There are these scary looking green humanoid creatures climbing up after me.

I'm able to pull off large pieces off the side of the tower and throw them down at my pursuers. One by one I knock them off the side of the wall and watch as they go tumbling away. The last couple actually jump rather than have me knock them down.

With some struggle I pull myself up the rest of the way. At the top it's just a flat level roof. There is furniture all around. I can still see the theater audience watching from their seats. I wander around up here for a bit, wondering what the heck to do now.
It's kind of awkward with the people watching me and all. Then I see this little cartoon creature. It's kind of shaped like an hour glass and has these big eyes. It's hopping around all excitedly. It doesn't make any sound, but it's very expressive.

Suddenly there is a dark foreboding. Something evil is coming, and it's coming for me. The green humanoids are returning, and I see some kind of flying creature coming towards me from the back of the theater, right above the heads of the audience.

I become frightened, I don't want to be the star of this movie anymore. Surprisingly easily, I quickly climb down the tower and I'm now among the theater audience. Maybe I can find a place to sit and just hide among the audience. The flying creature begins firing missiles. I realize I'm not going to be able to get out of this that easily.

The missiles are kind of like heat seekers. They know their target and their target is me. The missiles themselves are kind of odd. They are like wide flat arrows made of cloth. down the center of the arrows are little flashing lights that move along the arrow directing them towards their target, me. I try to run and dodge, up and down the isles, and between the rows of seated audience. Try as I may, the arrows always turn and come after me. One is right behind me and about to strike.

The only thing I can think to do is reach behind me and grab onto it. I then leap up into the air and stand upon the flying cloth arrow. I use it like a magic carpet and begin flying around the theater, up over the heads of the audience. I hear the oohs and aahs of delighted surprise.

As soon as my flight begins recognize the feeling as being like a dream. I decide I should do a reality check. I pinch my nose closed and I can breath easily.

Instantly I know it's a dream. I barely even acknowledge that fact as I get caught up in the moment. I fly all around. I grab a long piece of cloth tearing it off a wall, It's the movie screen curtain I guess. I wrap it around my shoulders and it flaps around behind me like a long wide cape. More ooohing and aahing in ensues. Around and around the room I fly. I lose the cape. I show off doing a series of back flips from the back of the theater to the front, just over the peoples heads. Then I land on the movie screen spider-man style. And crawl across the screen.

I leap off fly around some more. I swing around the back side of the movie screen. It's like the screen is free standing in the room and there is space behind it. I see a cartoon like person behind the screen with a projector I guess it's supposed to be. He is making the movie happen. I wake.

I don't really remember this very well but well enough tat I'm going to count it.

I'm skiing on some ski slopes. There is other people around and some kind of action going on. I don't remember what was going on exactly. I become Lucid. I'm not even sure of the exact point of becoming Lucid. I remember feeling like a stage of the dream had just ended and that I was going to wake. I try to avoid waking by focusing my thoughts a certain way, then continue skiing down the hill.

I clearly remember all these jumps. they were big double jumps, like something you would find on a moto cross track. I jump a series of them, landing on the down sides. I go a bit too far a couple of times, landing on the down ramps of the next jumps in line, making them like triple jumps.

After a while of this I think, hey I'm still dreaming! I managed to keep myself in it somehow. I remember, don't think the "W" word. Then I think that not thinking the word probably doesn't matter. because I'm thinking it without thinking the word anyway. But I do my best to direct my thoughts elsewhere.

There are these snow covered pine trees on the sides of the slope. I ski along the right side edge of the slope, reach out my right hand, dragging my right hand through the branches of the pine trees. I try to focus on the sense of touch to help keep me in the dream. I'm fascinated by the feel of the branches. And I can even feel the cold of the snow as I knock the snow from them. I do this for a minute. It's the last thing I remember before waking.

I was pretty surprised about getting Lucid. Because of a general lack of concentration. Shitty recall, and less than two hours time to sleep last night. It was the only dream I recalled. Maybe just making the point to try and get back on track last night was enough to trigger some Lucidity.

I was having a really long dream about hanging out with an old friend. There was some really weird stuff going on. Purple octopus alien people, and we were fighting a giant at one point. (Definitely Aliens vs Monsters influenced.)

Anyway, eventually we are just out walking along a street. I have this long staff and I'm swinging and twirling it around as we walk. We come to this wide outdoor stair case that leads down the side of an incline. I start using my staff to pole vault down the steps. Vaulting down several steps at a time. Once to the bottom I don't stop. I keep vaulting along. I get higher and go farther with each vault. Until I'm basically flying.

At this point I become Lucid. I look to my left and see that my friend is somehow in the air with me. I get all excited thinking that we are sharing a dream together. But then I'm Lucid enough to think about how I will probably wake up and realize it wasn't a shared dream after all. I dismiss the thought though. The moment feels too real, and even if it's not true, I decide I want to believe it and just enjoy the moment of thinking that we are dreaming together.

There is a tall tree and I land on a long narrow branch. When I land on it the branch swings all around from my weight. My friend lands on another branch and we are both kind of swinging all around for a few moments, until the branches finally settle down.

I start to tell my friend about how he should learn to use telekinesis in his dreams. I notice that my voice sounds really weird. My voice is loud and mysterious sounding. Like I'm some kind of dream guide sage or something. The closest I can compare it to, is like in Star Wars when Luke Skywalker hears the disembodied voice speaking to him. "Use the force Luke."

There is another tree near by. There are these huge round lights hanging from the branches. I reach out with my mind, locking onto one of the lights. I then levitate the light through the air. I make the light circle my friend several times. I then tell my friend to try it. I tell him to try and reach out and feel the object with his mind. As I explain this, my voice still has that loud weird mysterious quality to it. I find this effect to be very annoying. I try to ignore it as best I can so that I can say what I need to. I wake up about here.

I'm in this weird place. It's like some type of YMCA health club or something. The weird thing is that in the middle of the facility there is a cell. there is a blond woman locked in the cell. The cell is made of transparent walls. I am standing on an upper level balcony with the blond woman's boy friend. We are observing her in the cell. She is locked in there by her own choice. It is some kind of spiritual thing she is doing. She is to be locked in there for several days doing some kind of yoga exorcises. She is to do this before going off to complete some other portion of the ritual.

It's weird because she is on display in the middle of this health club place. The people there are supposed to be observing her and learning something from what she is doing.

As her boyfriend and I observe her, something weird happens with my thinking. It's time for me to move on. I take a few steps back, getting ready to make a running jump and leap off the railing of the upper balcony. I want to freak everyone out by jumping from the balcony and flying out over their heads.

But, just before I make my run. I stop and think, what the hell!? I'm not dreaming right now! I can't do that kind of thing when I'm awake!

(Some part of me must have been aware that I was dreaming for a moment there. So weird. It seems like Lucidity comes more naturally all the time. To the point where it's sometimes hard to tell if I was even Lucid)

To the guy that is with my I say. "You know, I've always thought that being locked up in a cell like that would be good for Lucidity. With nothing else to distract the mind, one could just sit there all day working on inducing Lucids. I have this completely illogical thought and I say to the guy. "It would be nice if I could fall asleep at will. That way I could run and jump off any cliff. And by the time I got airborne I would be dreaming."

The guy and I walk away from the scene. I don't remember going outside but the next thing I know both of us are outside and running down the street. As I'm running, I decide I want to make a long jump. I look out ahead and pick out a spot on the ground that I want to try and jump past. I leap, and then try to use my mind to hold myself in the air as long as possible.

It works. I feel that familiar telekinesis connection. I start flying, and I'm fully Lucid. As I fly higher I see that the guy I was running with has figured it out too. I watch as he leaps into the air and starts flying. We meet in the air and give each other a high five.

Like in the previous nights dream I see a tall tree and make a landing in the branches. the branches swing all around just as in the other dream. It's almost exactly the same. Just a different DC and a little different environment. After a little bit of swinging around on the branches I see the guy fall and land on the ground unmoving.

I jump down there. "Are you ok?" I ask. I think that he must be trying to fake me out, pretending like he fell and got injured. Like I have done a few times. he suddenly jumps up and says something weird like. "This is so cool! Someone should make a movie out of this!.I wake up.

Lucidity trigger Unknown

I'm still having some recall issues, but it's starting to get better.

I'm on a bridge high above an ocean. I'm aware that I'm dreaming but my Lucidity level is very low.

(I think I figured out how to describe this weird natural type of Lucidity I keep getting. It's like I know that I'm dreaming without being fully aware that I know I'm dreaming. If that makes any sense.)

I'm with someone. There is a powerful feeling to the dream as I look out across the ocean scene. The waves in the distance are huge. They look like blue mountains on the horizon. It's not scary at all.It's very beautiful. The person with me is female, that's all I really remember about the DC. The only reason I'm even sure I was Lucid at this point is because of what I remember saying to her.

I say, "I just want to jump off this bridge, fly out over the water, dive in and spend the rest of this dream exploring underneath the ocean." But it seems as though there is something more important that her and I were doing that needed to be finished. I'm not even sure what that is. I follow her along the bridge for some time. Some stuff happens that I can't remember, then I eventually decide I'm going to make my jump from the bridge. At this point I remember thinking, since this is a dream I can just dive off the bridge.

The girl I was with continues down the bridge as I step out onto this small half circle platform. (This part of the dream I remember The most clearly.) I shout to the girl several times. "Watch this!" until she finally turns and looks my way. I look down at my feet and I have no shoes on, just socks. The scene now is kind of weird. Directly below me is land, a little ways out the ocean begins. There is this huge structure out in the water. It's like a giant elaborate stadium bleachers with many people on it.

Just as I'm about to jump I get confused. I think, what if this isn't a dream? Why do I even think this is a dream in the first place? I think back and I don't remember anything causing me to become Lucid. Now everything is starting to feel too real and I start tho think I was crazy for thinking this was a dream. But then, oh I know I should just do a reality check to find out for sure. I pinch my nose closed and I breath in and out a couple of times. I then say out loud. "Well, I can breath, it must be a dream."

I decide to just believe the reality check and I dive head first from the bridge. Just before hitting the ground a swoop up and out over the water. I fly up above the heads and over the people on the weird bleacher thing, then dive into the very turbulent waters of the ocean. I start swimming across the waves when I hear someone yell, " Watch out for sharks!"My alarm goes off. I was on snooze.

Very nice and touching dream even though you didn't go into the specifics of what you talked about. It must be nice having a couple of LDs a week

Hey BigFan. Sorry about the late reply. I've been having some problems with my computer. Thanks for checking out my journal.

Yeah, It's nice when I can get a momentum going and start getting a lot of Lucids. Something came up recently That caused me to lose focus a bit and put me into a slow spell. I'm trying to get things going again.

A Lucid Dream

Lucid Dream # 30 of 2010
Best dreamsign recognized
No reality check needed

Watching my step Dad ride the four wheeler. The grass is really wet and he spins out and rolls the thing. I run over and check to see if he is ok. Then I get on the four wheeler. The weird thing is that I stand up on the seat. As I do the four wheeler gets smaller and I start skating around on it. I'm doing all sorts of tricks jumping around off of things.

Then my brother is there and he is standing up and skating around on a small four wheeler as well.
We start to race and the four wheelers disappear. We are now doing the skating on feet thing that I so often end up doing in dreams. I'm too fast for my brother, but he manages to stay fairly close behind. I start doing all sorts of tricks jumping over and off of things.

Eventually I come to this wall that I use like a ramp. I shoot straight up into the air flipping, then coming down. I do this a couple of times, but I feel like I'm not getting high enough. I try again. This time getting as much speed up as I possibly can. I hit the wall/ramp and I'm thrown upwards at speed, and the ground falls farther and farther away. Ahhh, now that's the feeling I was trying for

Then Lucidity washes over me. "Whooo hooo, Lcuid again!" I shout down to my brother. When I say again It's because I can distinctly remember being Lucid some time before this point. It was like I had lost Lucidity at some point and I'm now just regaining it. At the time I could actually remember the previous Lucid, but now I can not.

What happens next I have difficulty remembering in detail. I was celebrating my Lucidity in the usual way. Running, leaping, flying acrobatics off of and over everything. I remember some power-lines I had grabbed onto, pulling on them and stretching them all out.

The next thing I remember real clearly is taking a moment to reflect. I remember that I'm in a period of bad recall. I think back and try to remember the earlier Lucids again, but they are already fading from my memory and I'm not even awake yet. I realize that I've been running around so crazily that I probably won't remember much of what I had just been doing either. then I think, to hell with it, I don't even care. Remember this, or not, I'm just going to enjoy myself now, while I'm here.

I then see this bird fly past. It looks like a small hawk at first. But on closer inspection it's actually a giant bumble bee. It actually looks like a large humming bird with the colors of a bumble bee. There are a couple of them now, and I'm thinking of them as bees. I think they are really cool and I decide I want one. I reach out with my mind, using telekinesis to control one of the large bees. I control it's flying and make it follow behind me as I walk back to where my brother is.

As I walk the bee lands on my head and stings me with it's long beak like stinger. For a split second I'm afraid of being stung, but then remember it doesn't matter in a dream. It can sting me all it wants. But I force my will on it and gain better control of it's actions. After a little bit I don't have to force it anymore. It just becomes my pet bee/bird.

I find my brother and my sister and show off my new pet. I hold out my hand and it lands in the palm of my hand. It's colors have changed now, and it looks much more like a humming bird than a bee. It's very beautiful. It has a white breast with this indescribable luminescent red orange kind of color glowing around the edges of it's body. The outer colors are kind of moving, like they are swirling together. It's fascinating. After a few moments I move on and forget about the bird.
I end up getting into to some naughty things that I'm not going to go into detail. until I wake.

Lucid Dream # 24 of 2010 - I'm in a house. The house is kind of a combination of the house I lived in as a teenager, and the town house I lived in as a kid.

Do you remember any other dreams about this mix of locations Caradon?

Guess you aren't the only one with the late replies Same here, lost some focus on LD for over a year, but, hope to have many more LDs once I get to a certain amount. Yours seem to be focused a bit about recognizing dream signs and possibly just being aware. Mine have been more awareness than anything else but I've only had a couple of them and they aren't as vivid or long as I would like. Anyways, nice journal and very interesting dreams. Read some of the earlier entries such as the tornado one back in 07 or 06 which was interesting, same with the other ones. Keep filling this DJ

Hi MrdreamsX. Thanks for checking out my journal. Yeah, That's something that happens frequently More often during work dreams. A lot of times some or all of my previous jobs will blend together into one place. It's weird.

Thanks BigFan. Yeah, my induction method mostly consists of trying to stay aware of whether or not I'm dreaming as often as I can. It's always worked pretty well for me. I do a little bit of WILDing, but when I do that it's mostly just a little bit of Lucid HI, or brief little Lucid moments that I can't hold onto. I don't usually count those. Sometimes I post them in my WILD attempt journal.

Good Luck getting back into it! I've been having a lot of distractions lately. It's hard to refocus after being mentally lazy for a while. I'm taking of this Sunday for a trip to the cabin. I'll be spending nine days alone in the wilderness. I plan to use the time to work on my dreaming. Hopefully I'll be back on track by the time I get back. With any Luck I'll have something to post.

Right now I'm pretty pissed off about my journal being fucked with, and I'm not intending to post another dream in this journal, or on this forum, ever again. I just want to get my farewell post in before this thread is locked for good.

Good bye DV Journal. I'm going to miss you. Thanks for all the good times.

When I decide to continue updating my Lucid Dream journal, it will only be at the Mortal Mist site. At least there, I know it won't be fucked with by the staff.
