The path to Lucid Mastery

Non-Lucid
Semi-Lucid



This dream was a really cool one. I nearly got lucid but I woke up even though I started stabilizing my dream by looking at my hands.

I don’t remember the entire dream but the setting was a rather gloomy town. Everything was a really dark shade of purple. It looked like the city of Derse from Homestuck. I vaguely remember walking around there and talking to Sollux (also from Homestuck).

What I do remember is meeting Aradia (Homestuck again) on a plain. She greeted me quite cheerfully and took me for a walk. While walking through the narrow streets we discussed about the role of the Space and Time players and the problem of Jack Noir. Then we suddenly weren’t in the city anymore. As if we’d stepped through an invisible curtain we were now in a vast, open area. There was nothing there, just dark purple emptiness. I asked Aradia how we should get past here and told her I had already tried before but failed. But she just smiled at me, jumped and landed about one meter further, causing ripples to flow through the surface, as if she was standing on an invisible rock beneath a tiny amount of also invisible water.

Now that I knew what I was looking for I managed to find other invisible stepping stones and took a different route. After some jumping around we got to a large platform in the middle of the emptiness. There were also some other trolls and humans there (Sollux, Nepeta, Dave and Jade).

Suddenly I realized I was dreaming and did the nose reality check and started looking at my hands to stabilize the dream immediately afterwards. It was to no avail, though, as I woke up.

It’s a shame I was deprived of a lucid dream yet again but at the same time I’m glad I remembered such a cool dream.

Non-Lucid, Semi-Lucid


The dream I had last night was really weird and it almost resulted in a LD! The only reason it didn't was because the situation at the moment I realised I was dreaming was very threatening, so I forgot to do a RC and stabilize my dream.

When the dream started, I was staning in my backyard on a sunny day. Then, my mom called me to get something (I don't recall what it was) from our shed. So I went into the shed and started looking around, but when I looked under the couch I noticed our Hippogriff (from Harry Potter) was gone. I hurried out of the shed and told my two youngest little brothers (I've got three) our Hippogriff was gone. They said they would try and find him and left the backyard, only to return moments later with a half-eaten head of a bull and a young but apparently unharmed (besides being dead) deer. This startled me and I told them to put it back where they got it as the smell might attract the now loose Hippogriff, which might be dangerous.

Then my mom came outside to see what all the commotion was about (my little brothers had already left). So I told her about the Hippogriff. It seemed to scare her a lot that our Hippogriff had escaped, while I wasn't that worried at all. I told her to calm down; the Ministry (as in the Ministry of Magic) would capture the Hippogriff and erase our memories. I was just toying with the idea of blinking when they'd cast the amnesia spell to negate it when several hooded people appeared out of thin air.

There where about seven of them. They were all pretty short, about a head shorter than I am (I am around 1.8 metres tall). I couldn't see the faces of six of them, as they had black cloaks with hoods over their heads, concealing their faces. The one in the front, the seventh, did have his face uncovered. It was Voldemort and the other six were Death Eaters. Voldemort didn't say a word but walked straight past us with his Death Eaters until he was standing next to our house and then he turned around. I was really scared and my mom was making squeaky sounds, as if she tried screaming but couldn't. I was afraid Voldemort could attack at any moment and was about to run away when I realised that I shouldn't be afraid in a dream.

Now I realised I was dreaming and I didn't have to be afraid anymore so I charged at Voldemort without doing a RC or stabilizing the dream first. The running was rather sluggish, but it didn't matter since Voldemort didn't move at all. I crossed the final bit of distance between us and punched him in the face with my right fist. When I made contact Voldemort simply disappeared and the death eaters around started running away, still not talking and not even trying to fight back.

I figured I'd better use some more agressive methods so I summoned a Rasengan (from Naruto) in my right hand and smashed the closest Death Eater in his side with it. The effect wasn't what I expected; lighting came off on impact as if I'd used a Chidori instead and the Death Eater didn't appear to be very harmed besides staggering a little bit. I turned around and saw Voldemort again, now facing me instead of running away like his Death Eaters. I ran at him again, this time not sluggish and tried punching him again, but he dodged me and tried punching me himself, only just missing me. Then I summoned another Rasengan to my right hand and hit Voldemort straight in the face with it, which caused him and to disappear along with his Death Eaters.

I then walked inside to go to the toilet and as I was entering the bathroom I had a False Awakening. I was really excited so I got out of bed and ran downstairs where my mom was already having breakfast. I told her what had happened and then the dream ended.

I didn't wake up for the rest of the night (nor did I recall any other dreams). When my alarm went off I sat up in my bed and tried to recall any dreams when this one came back to me and I wrote it in my DJ. I'm really excited about my nearly successful DILD and I hope I'll have my first full DILD soon!
