Awesomeness's quest for lucidity

Real life Dream Lucid Nightmare Dream sign Thoughts

Hey guys! It's been a long time. I've had a dry spell of lucid dreams and recall, a long one, but I'm coming back! I'm starting to remember dreams again.

School fire alarm dream
A dream. It seems like a nightmare in the end though.
I'm visiting another school in this dream. I'm in the gym at this school, doing stuff; can't remember what. After a while, we were finally done and we were exiting the gym. Up the stairs, there were two sides, the left one marked with "GIRLS" and the right one marked with "BOYS". However a large group of boys AND girls were all sitting on the "GIRLS" side, with no one on the other. I said to the group, "You don't all have to cram together on one side, you know..." and some of the boys agreed, and decided to go to the "BOYS" side.

I kept going up the stairs and crawled through the first set of dwarf doors. They were tiny! "So how do you like the gym?" someone said. "The gym is great! Getting out is the problem." I replied. "Yeah..." she agreed. Not wanting to crawl through the second set of doors, I looked for another way out. I saw some deep red fire escape stairs, the kind that swing into place, except slightly different. I asked "Can we use those without setting the alarm?" with a reply of yes. Someone jumped off the top of the stairs to the bottom, without deploying the stairs. I decided I would use the stairs, as they were not cramped at all. I pulled out a little red pin which allowed the stairs to swing into place. The second I did so, The fire alarm went off.

It looks like I set off the alarm on purpose! Oh no! I left the stairs, frowning, and crammed through the second set of doors. A steady stream of people was leaving the building, all because of me. The alarm didn't sound like anything I had heard at school. It was like an analog version of the Star Trek "Red Alert" sound. With the combination of all the weird things that had happened, in addition to the strangeness of the alarm, I got this creeping feeling I was dreaming.

I wasn't lucid enough to try anything, and even if I was, this is a lucid nightmare. Chances are I wouldn't have fun in it. I decided to do the one solution I thought of: Wake up. I closed my eyes really hard, which usually brings me to reality, however it didn't work. I started rolling around with my eyes closed and I woke up.

What a dream. At least I could remember it! I've had problems with recall lately.

For me to remember, dreams are #067300, and lucid dreams are the color below blue, #4169e1. Nightmares are dark red, #8b0000, and dream signs are the light purple, which is up one and left one from blue, #483d8b.

Another decently long lucid. As usual, became lucid near the end of the REM cycle...

My home lucid dream
May have been a false awakening. As usual, I don't remember much before I became lucid, but I think I woke up and did my morning routine inside the dream. At some point after breakfast I became spontaneously lucid. (I pretty much always become lucid this way)

I said something to my mom like "Bye Mom, got to go" and walked out the front door. I looked around, and suddenly my little brother came out with my usual vitamins, saying I forgot them. I took them and proceeded. I never noticed him walk back inside; he became insignificant and I forgot about him.

I walked over to my neighbors' house, unfortunately with no clear goal in mind, (I forgot my dream goals) and as I did the dream faded. No! My dream just started!

School with no shirt dream

I was at school. I forgot something as I approached my class. I ran all the way back to my backpack to get it, and hurried back to class.

Suddenly, I had the insight that I had no shirt on as I approached my class. I panicked, and ran back to my backpack, hoping my shirt was in there. I saw Clark on the way to my backpack.

I got to my backpack, and realized it was black instead of orange, which made me question my situation a little. As I looked through my backpack, I realized my shirt was not in there, that there was no way I could have gotten to school without a shirt, nor did I have three pairs of glasses, and that the glasses I did have were not the same.

I went lucid, and woke up.

I have skipped like five lucid dreams due to my science project. Sorry guys. But in those dreams I mastered flying, and now I am getting better at attaining lucidity. I am having one or two lucid dreams every other day now.

Messed up school dream
I was at school. I understood it as my school, though it was nothing like my real school. There was no one there I recognized. The walls were blue and purple.

I walked around. There were lots of people, a first in any dream I have encountered. I heard the bell and went to... gym class. I went to the gym teacher, who was outside the gym. The walls around him were white and there were a bunch of windows. The floor was light colored, finished wood. He had very short, straight blond hair. His face was tall, bony, and militant-looking.

I suddenly realized that I don't take gym class. (I don't in real life) I panicked as the tardy bell rang. I needed to get to class! As I went down a bunch of stairs, it dawned on me that I had no idea what period I was supposed to be at, and couldn't even remember by schedule from real life for some reason.

I must be dreaming. I swam through the air. (I am proficient in multiple methods of flying at this point) As I swam through the hallways, which were the same colors as near the gym. I looked around. Busy people were walking down the hallways. They didn't take it as strange that I was swimming through the hallways. I saw people with a pale dead body on a stretcher but decided to ignore them, since I knew if I got scared the dream might turn bad.

I turned right. I was back in the purple-blue area I started in. I kept going forward. At a corner, there was a girl, who looked like a smaller, toddler version of Dora with normal human proportions. Her voice was much higher than Dora's. She beckoned me to come wither her through a door, but I sensed bad intentions inside her somehow. I turned right at the corner.

The wall to the right of me was blue and flat. To the left was like a mixture of three quarters purple and a quarter magenta. It had a vertical texture that looked like paste with a fork waved through it. I noticed how the texture seemed blurry so I pulled glasses out of nowhere and put them on. Nothing. I took them off and remembered what I was supposed to do when I became lucid in the first place: I said "Increase clarity."

Suddenly everything shifted to be as clear as real life, like focusing a camera. It was AMAZING. I had never thought that dreams could approach real life in realism until today. I could see sharper than ever.

Note: I need to devote the next entire section to one action.
I had an idea and I said "Supersensory!", but nothing happened. What I wanted to do was something I read in another dream journal (which I can't find anymore) where the author, inside one of his dreams, realized dreams are only projections onto dreamer's minds. The author figured out he could control what his senses experience. When he tried it, he didn't have to say anything, and suddenly he could see more colors than physically possible in real life. It sounds amazing!
Nothing happened for me, but I'll keep trying.

I started going back. But then I felt the dream cycle starting to end. Everything's colors smeared together and the dream ended.

Strange video game dream
I was playing this hard video game where all these red balls were bouncing around and you had to drag a certain ball to the exit without touching the bouncing ones.

I became lucid at some point and beat it by dragging the ball straight to the exit, through several balls, knowing that since I was lucid I couldn't lose.

Went to bed late; it was about one or so.

Funnest card game ever dream
This dream probably came from the fact that my little brother was playing Pokémon for an hour before I went to bed.

This whole dream made me feel like I was having a lot of fun. I mean more than I've ever had in my whole life... Maybe more than what is physically possible in real life. My family was taking a vacation to Japan. Everything was awesome! The buildings were modern and cool, and everyone was too. There was a building that was the headquarters for some really popular Japanese card game. It wasn't like one using the deck that has 2-10 and a jack, queen, king, and ace; it was a game like Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh! that had many, many different kinds of cards. My brother and I and I thought we might visit it to see what it was all about. We asked my parents if we could go inside, and they said yes. We got cards and the game was the most awesome thing ever! We played it the whole vacation and were sad to leave when we had to. As we left I woke up at 3:06 in the morning.

I was convinced the game still existed for a while. I wanted to know its name and I was like "I'm going to look up Japanese card games and find this in the morning!" over and over. Slowly it dawned on me that it didn't exist and I was filled with sad longing. When I woke up this morning I searched anyway, just in case...

Sigh...

Fragments of school
The only moment I remember in this dream was me at school talking to my IT teacher about lucid dreaming. I said, "I'm still trying."

I feel so stupid. I didn't do a reality check.

WTF
The only thing I remember was pressing a button over and over to make all these random cartoon-y warriors on some grey rocky shore come out of a set of stone doors and attack these cartoon attackers in the ocean with giant earthworms.

I know for sure there are many parts I missed of these dreams; I can just feel it.

I still want to play that card game again so bad... It simply gave me a feeling of utter joy and awesomeness. When I lucid dream that's my first goal, even before flying. This is all the more reason for me to lucid dream.
