(False) WILD within a Dream:

I wish I remembered details better on this one. I do remember that I was involved with doing something within the dream. Then suddenly I started seeing the ocean. It didn't go with what was happening in the rest of the dream. My dream self suddenly "realized" that I just had a successful WILD. I felt so proud of myself. I decided I wanted to get closer to the ocean. Instead of flying like I usually do, I just pulled the ocean scene closer to where I was standing. I could see the setting sun gleam off the water and boats in the harbor. I remember just thinking about how beautiful it was and how real it looked.

I also remember that I was conscious of my "physical body". I was very sure that my physical body was standing in the real world. I could feel my arms hanging at my sides. I thought it was really cool that my mind could be seeing something completely different from my real body. I continued to stare at the ocean scene in front of me. I then carefully lifted what I thought were my real arms. I placed my hands over my eyes. I could see a faint shadow of my hands which darkened the ocean scene. I thought it was fascinating how I could be conscious in two places at once, and how I could be moving my real body yet not really seeing it because my mind was in a dream.

Then I "woke up" and went back to my original dream.


This kind of dream has happened to be several times before where I feel like I have entered a dream, yet I still am very aware of what I think is my real body. Yet the whole thing is all in my head.

Dream (Lucid):

I was walking with several people. I remember my sister and Jeff being there. We were walking toward the beach. It was late evening and the sun was setting. It was the most beautiful thing I ever remembering seeing. I suddenly became lucid.

I started floating. I wanted to fly down to the water. But Jeff grabbed my foot and wouldn't let me go. I got mad and started kicking at his hand. I said, "Dang it--I'm lucid! Let me fly!"

Finally he either let go , or I kicked myself loose and started trying to fly off. But then my sister started grabbing my leg. I said, "What's wrong with you people? I'm lucid. I need to go."

She let go finally. But I was still having some trouble flying very high.

I thought of all the things I could do in a lucid dream. But in this dream I decided I didn't want to be in a hurry. I would fly over the ocean (shore) and then I would decide what I wanted to do.

Since I was having problems flying I kept trying to find things to kick off of (kind of like when you are swimming) to kind of propel me forward.

I finally got out over the water, but I kept sinking lower, so I had to aim myself for this guy's boat. I was going to kick off of it to help me fly.

But then I felt the dream fade.

I just did the Advanced Lucid Task!


It started off in an elementary school. I went outdoors with another teacher and a group of kids to get something. We went out across the street and I noticed a big storm coming in. It hit us with a sudden fury. I thought that that was very unusual. I looked up at the clouds and noticed that I could see a funnel cloud starting to form.

Again that hit me as strange since we don't normally get tornados where I live. Then I thought, "Could this be a dream." It actually took a few seconds before I was totally convinced. I decided to try to fly. I almost was doubting that I could because this dream felt very real-life. But I jumped a couple of times and then took off into the sky.

I immediately remembered what I was supposed to be doing. I flew into some clouds, and when I flew out I could see the ocean ahead. I flew out over the ocean and came to the closest thing to an island. It was a long string of rocks and boulders sticking up out of the ocean. I looked around. I really wanted to have CoLd BlooDed, Ranma, and Oneironaut show up and help me with this since we had been talking about it. But I could see no people.

The boulders were covered with an abundance of animal life. I was in a hurry to get started because when I had the dream last night I woke up before I even got a chance to land on the island.

I swooped down and grabbed the closest animal--a sea turtle--and flung it as far as I could into the ocean. Then I moved on and grabbed some otters and also flung them out into the ocean. I moved along as quickly as I could flinging all manner of sea animals back out into the ocean.

Then I suddenly stopped and thought, "Wait, something is not right here. Snakes....I need to be getting rid of the snakes, not otters and marine iguanas.

I looked around again and saw a couple of cobras in the rocks. I grabbed them by their tails and swung them out into the ocean."

I flew along the rocks until I was sure that there were no more. And I was confident that I had rid this small chain of rocky islands from all snakes.

I had totally forgotten in my haste that I had planned ahead of time to use my "mind powers" to get them off the island. But I seemed to get the job done regardless.


Now my lucid dream goes on, but it gets a little weird.

I transistioned and was suddenly flying around inside a very large church. I was flying over people's heads, but wasn't paying them any attention since I knew that they weren't real.

I came to a very large reflective glass window. I looked at my reflection. I took note of what I was wearing. I had on a really strange outfit. I had on a whilte blouse and over that I had on a white tank top with a light green camo tank top. I was also wearing a white, almost see through white skirt.

I thought it was really the ugliest outfit I could possibly be wearing. I decided what I really wanted to be wearing was a pink bikini. I tried to make myself instantly be wearing the bikini. I couldn't do it. But I knew if I took off my other clothes, that I would have the bikini on underneith.

I must have felt like I was in a big hurry in my dreams, because I didn't just take my clothes carefully off--I ripped them off. And sure enough, there was my cute pink bikini that I had wanted. I looked at my reflection and thought I looked good. I am embarrassed to write this but after looking at myself for a minute, I decided to take the bikini top off and see how I looked. I did, and looked at myself and thought that I looked the same as in real life. And I'm going to have to stop here....sorry......


Note:

I had awakened at three in the morning. I got up for about an hour, took 50 mg of B6, then went back to be and half-heartedly tried to WILD. I had the Task fully on my mind as I fell back to sleep. And it worked.

Old LD from 3-21-07

Before I went to sleep I took some B6 and laid in bed imagining how I would complete the Lucid Task this month. I decided to skip straight to the snake task. I thought the hard part would be to find the island. So I decided that since I would probably be flying, that I would make myself fly over a cloud , then when I was past the cloud I would look down and see that I was flying over the ocean, and I would then see the island.

Once on the islnd I would see these bushes with snakes hiding behind them. I would then use my wonderful mind power and pick up the snakes with my mind (like I did with the rocks in a past LD) and fling them into the ocean until I had cleared the whole island of the snakes. That was my plan.


Dream 1:

I was flying. I suddenly realized that since I was flying it couldn't possibly be real life--that I must be in a dream. I immediately remembered what I was supposed to try to do. I looked around for a cloud and saw one ahead of me. I flew over it for a short time then looked down . Below I saw that I was flying over the ocean. I flew lower and tried to find an island. I did see an island. As I flew closer I focused my mind on creating bushes and snakes so that I would be able to drive the snakes away.

But on the way to the island something terrible happened. I woke up.


But this goes to show that I just need to focus more on LDing right before bed, and I will have more success. Not that this will happen everytime I try. But I think the extra focus always increases the chances. I will try this again.
