My comments

I checked my mail and there was this list i my inbox.. It was a list i got from school, and you had to put your name/class etc. under it if you wanted to come to..?. There were also kids from other schools on the list. One of them was named Barlon/barzon (something like that)

I wanted to buy a train ticket those daytravel tickets or something like that for €38,70 (wow i remembered that?) after some thinking i said 'Oh wait, nevermind, sorry. I don't really need it yet. When i need it my dad can come and buy it. Otherwise my dad will have to pay me back and such.

Last dream i can remember is some dream with my sister in it..
My recall is still not yet where i want it to be
Perhaps i should just sleep more.. (even more )

I was walking in Walmart with one of my friends. (I will be calling him JP from now on.) I don,t really know why we were in Walmart. I think we were just bored. Anyways,we stopped and looked at football cards. They were in some weird Pokemon containers. I look away then I look back. The cards were completly rearanged, so now I do a RC. My finger gos straight through my hand. I stare at it a while , and then take it out. In instinct I clear my mind, and begin to lift off the ground and fly around Walmart . I start thinking about my finger going through my hand, and then I decide to try and fly through a shelf or two. I go straight through two shelves, and come out into a hospitals hallway. JP pulls me down to the ground. I start to fly again,and JP pulls me back down. I throw him at the wall getting mad at him. I try to fly through the ceiling to find my dream guide,but instead I smash my face into the ceiling. I land and start flying again. Now JP is holding onto my leg. I try to slam him into the ceiling, but he is to heavy,and I fall back down to the ground. I fly out the window into a families living room. They have hot chocolate and cookies while the children' s mom reads them a christmas story. They can't see me so I wonder into the kitchen. A kid is sitting there eating his carrots. He sees me and freaks out. I tell him i' m a ghost thinking that will calm him down. He doesn't get it so I show him that I can put my finger through my hand. My alarm clock gos off then so I wake up.

Sadly...nothing to report haha I wish was better at recalling my dreams.

My goal tonight: recall my dream so I can get on with the show

<3

I am taxi driver or something. I think there are three of us that are friends and as such sort of driving in line with a little space in between. The two other guys stop at like a café somewhere. I go back to find them. One of their cars gets stolen, but I, we, take it rather lightly. When we leave the café, the narrator is an author of a popular thriller saga, announcing that his little campaign has concluded, where people could recommend alternate ways in which to gruesomely yet effectively kill someone, and that he now knows a way that is “stupidly effective”.

Note: Tonight is the first challenge of the tournament at Hogwarts, so this is my main plan, to go participate in the event. MoSh is coming for that, of course, so we will see how the first challenge goes. For now we will be working in teams for each house, so that means I will be working with Draco, MoSh will be working with Harry and Hermione. There are two other schools visiting, and each of them have four houses, two contestants from each house, also working as teams this time. I'm not sure how many challenges will be done as teams before it's everyone for themselves. That was my only goal, so I focused on that as I slipped into a WILD…

I am in bed, in my bed at Hogwarts. I am immediately aware of that by the feel of the bed, and the sounds going on around me, it seems everyone else is already up and moving around but I have been sleeping in. I get out of bed and dressed, then open the curtains to see what is going on out there. The other girls are talking to each other, and they seem happy to see me, all of them asking how I am doing, if I am nervous about the challenge, Marie says I am lucky to be able to ditch classes today, Shanara says she can't wait to find out more about the challenge, Andie says she knows Draco and I can win… I am not really sure what they are talking about, but I figure I will find out in due time, so for now I just go with it. As the four of us go down to the common room, my mind is clearing up, the last of my sleepiness is passing, I think it is odd that I am sleepy after waking up in a lucid dream… When we get down to the common room I see Draco there, it looks like he has been waiting for me, my memory is completely clear now. I remember that the first challenge of the Tri-School Wizard Tournament is today, and I will be doing it with Draco since we are from the same house. Draco has a strange look on his face, but he greets me ok, and says all of the contestants are to meet near the Quidditch field… that was something I hadn't thought of at the school yet… Quidditch! Is there not going to be Quidditch teams this year? Maybe the season just hasn't started yet… So after going to the great hall to get some breakfast, Draco and I go out by the Quidditch field.

When Draco and I reach the Quidditch field I see that McGonagall is there, and she is waiting for the contestants to gather. Several of them I recognize, others I don't, though. Viktor Krum is there, he doesn't look to bright, but that could be decieving… One of them I recognize as Fleur Delacour, Hermione is there looking nervously up at the castle, I recognize some of the others as fellow Hogwarts students and the others I am assuming are from the other schools. MoSh shows up, it seems he has appeared from nowhere, Hermione is glad to see him, she asks him where Harry is, he is running late. MoSh said maybe Harry is still getting his flu shot. Hermione gives MoSh a strange look, says she hasn't heard anything about a flu shot, but she doesn't take the thought any further as Harry shows up at this point. Finally everyone has gathered, Hermione is asking Harry where he has been, but Harry doesn't have a chance to answer before McGonagall starts talking. She says we have the morning to make any finally plans, but we should be made aware that no items can be taken into the maze. She says no wands can be used during the challenge. She adds that any items found on the course can be used, some of them may have magical properties, but we would have to know what to do with it, of course. She points at an amulet one of the students from another school is wearing, and says she sees it has magical properties, so she will have to leave it behind. She points at my Witchblade bracelet and says the same goes for that. It seems both of us are reluctant to give our items up, McGonagall is a bit impatient, she says she will make sure nothing happens to either of them, and they will be waiting for us at the other end of the challenge course. I finally give her my Witchblade, figuring I can summon it back if needed, and the other girl hands over her amulet. McGonagall tells us to meet back by the Quidditch field at noon, lunch would be provided, then we would start at 12:30 sharp. So don't be late, she looks at Harry when she says that last part.

On this map: MoSh, Harry, and Hermione are the red line, Draco and I are the green line.

So Draco and I look over the map one more time to plan out our course, we are not allowed to have the map in the challenge, so we will have to memorize the path we want to take, and we meet back at the Quidditch field right on time. Everyone else is there on time, too, so the challenge begins on time. For a short distance it seems everyone is going in the same direction, but finally we split up and head in our own ways. Draco and I are following the green path on this map, while MoSh, Harry, and Hermione are on the red path. The map shows a lot, so I will just hit the important parts. The first darker green area on the map is a vine covered region, as Draco and I pass through there, we collect some long pieces of vine that look strong, and take them with us. That way when we reach the ravine, I am able to tie a stone to the end of the vine and then throw it over the ravine. The ravine isn't really that wide, but it is really deep. The rock proves unnecessary, though, the vine has a magical property and it plants itself right where it lands. Placing the other end of the vine on this side makes the vine plant itself here, too, and the vine across the ravine goes tight. I tell Draco we can just use the vine to cross… he doesn't seem to like it much… I take a second vine and throw it over, using a rock just so I can aim better… and a little TK helps… so I land this one on a slightly higher spot, place the second end… then once more, now the three vines form a triangle, a bridge, with two vines to hold onto and a third to walk on. Draco is looking at the bridge not far along the ravine, and says we could just use that… I point out that someone else is already there, and there are small specks bombarding them, apparently the enemies Draco's father had warned him about, warning him against taking what appeared to be the easy route. I wonder if that's MoSh, Harry, and Hermione… I see there are three of them, and I am sure Hermione would not want to cross anywhere but at the bridge since she is scared of heights. Draco and I use my vine bridge and cross, heading into the forest on the other side.

The forest is deliberately made confusing, but we don't get lost. We soon reach the other side of the forest where there is a large rock there, I am thinking up there is a good spot to survey the land from. Harry, MoSh, and Hermione show up right after us, Draco makes some remark to Harry about being behind already, it's a good thing he and I are nice enough to let them catch up… after all, we don't want it to be too easy. I tell him to leave me out of that. Harry says he is surprised Draco made it this far, and adds that he and I probably cheated by using magic to get to the rock first. I look over at Harry, but all that comes out of my mouth is, "Excuse you?" While they are getting into that, MoSh is climbing the rock to get a view of the area. I join MoSh in the climbing of the rock, not wanting to deal with Draco and Harry arguing, MoSh and I vent about our partners… MoSh says Harry thinks he knows everything, I say Draco is about as mature as a two year old… We are almost to the top when a monkey about the size of a human jumps from one of the trees and grabs at MoSh. MoSh throws the monkey back to the ground, where it lands right between Harry and Draco, effectively breaking their argument up. The monkey gets up and looks around at us, but MoSh isn't done with him yet. MoSh jumps off of the rock, grabs the monkey, and slams him into a tree… then slams him into the ground a few more times, stomps on him for good measure, then throws him up into the sky and over the forest where it disappears from sight. Harry, Hermione, Draco, and I are now all staring at MoSh, not entirely sure of what to say, apparently that monkey had really pissed MoSh off… MoSh starts climbing the rock again, Harry comes up behind him and grabs his shirt to get his attention. "Are you…" Harry starts, then MoSh jumps on Harry and slams him into a tree. I am asking MoSh why he is attacking his own teammate, it makes no sense, is he ok? I jump off the rock and help Hermione pull MoSh off of Harry, Draco is laughing his ass off, saying if they keep that up, there's no way they will win… Gryffindor will be the first house out of the running. Hermione tells Draco to shut up, MoSh has stopped trying to attack Harry, but now he feels like he has a fever… he is sick? Hermione shoots up emergency sparks with her wand… we have them in case of emergency but are not permitted to use them… and soon a couple of people swoop down on brooms, they carry both Harry and MoSh off. Hermione says she wants to stay and finish the challenge, there's no way she's letting Slytherin come in first… then she looks at me, and says she means no offense to me.

We leave the rock and head in different directions, Hermione heads off to the east, Draco and I are heading west. We come to the river we had been told about, and it is rapids, but they don't look too bad. I use the last of my vines to tie together some wood that Draco and I collect, and make it into a raft… surprisingly, it floats. Yay! Draco and I use the raft to ride the rapids and take the shortcut by steering off onto the right fork in the river. Not only have we avoided having to do the extra climbing to get past some small mountains, but we are moving much faster than we would be if we were on foot. As the river veers back off to the west we pull our raft over to the shore, where Draco and I get out. We follow a path that leads up to some steep sheer mountains, there is a steep and difficult path that goes over the mountain, and there is a longer but easy path that goes around the mountain… or there is a tunnel that passes through the mountain, and an easier path that goes over. Draco and I choose the tunnel that goes through the mountain, it is well hidden, but Draco had it marked on his map, and we remember where it is. So with that little extra short cut we get through the mountain and out the other side first. The two of us are greeted with an array of cheering and booing… rude people booing… shortly later, Hermione shows up, and stares at us, she says she doesn't know how we managed to get there first. She seems very out of breath, close to collapsing, but Draco and I are hardly winded after walking the mostly level path through the mountain.

There are judges there, all of the members of the judge's panel, I see Umbridge there, she is glaring over at us, she accuses Hermione of cheating since there is no way one person could have made it through. I ask another of the judges how MoSh and Harry are, I am told that the two of them are going to be fine, Harry just had some bruises, MoSh seems to have the flu, he was most likely a bit delirious when he attacked Harry. I ask how MoSh could have the flu… The woman I am speaking to says she doesn't know, but Madam Palmphrey will be more than able to get them both back to full health. I feel like I am going to wake up soon, so I tell the others that I am going to the hospital wing to check on MoSh, then I leave. If I make it to the Hospital wing, then I am not remembering it now, because this is where my memories end.

7th Lucid

I'm not sure if this is a DIELD or a DILD I think it's both though.

Key
Blue = Lucid
Red = False Awakening

It's 4 AM just woke up from my alarm to preform a WBTB into a DIELD. Once I wake up I set another alarm that will go off later and will turn off automatically.

The DIELD attempt didn't work so I decide to go back to sleep and try again at 5 AM.

I wake up check my cell phone to see what time it is. It says 5:59 AM. I think to my self (Meh I got to get ready for school in an hour.)

I wake up again check my cell phone. It says 5:30. I was pissed off because I just had a FA. I go back to sleep.

Some where around here I was aware that I was dreaming I try to RC but I wake up but quickly fall back asleep.

Somehow I became lucid I think it was because I was trying to DIELD at the same time. I lift my arm just to make sure i'm moving my dream arm. I get up out of bed and stabilize the dream. After that, I walk through my window. I take off to the sky to fly. After flying around I wake up.

I try to go back into the other dream by DIELDing but instead I just did a RC to make sure I still wasn't dreaming.

Day 25... Nice.

So far I have had 2 LDs as a result of this regime... Either I am doing something wrong here or I need up stay patient. I feel like I'm not keeping up with my RCs during the daytime and that I turn PassObs when I am typing on my computer (like now) or when I have conversations with people. At these times I try to increase awareness as much as possible because I am trying to change my behavior and notice when I have fallen into routine. Hopefully, by bringing my attention continually back to the present moment, I will adopt a similar habit in my dreams, which have become more and more recurrent.

I am noticing similar patterns occuring in my dreams now. The major dreamsigns I have are
1) PassObs: This is a state where I am basically the camera for a movie with thoughts that roll through my head. I am a disembodied thinking machine basically. I analyze the situation, the voices, everything, even my own analysis! This dream-state I think is a result of my previous experiences growing up and trying to alienate myself from the world, zoning things out so as to not be affected emotionally. When this occurs today, I immediately RC and listen to sounds actively and notice what is going on around me.
2) HSfriends: This is where I am in my high school or see anyone from my grade. These people are appearing regularly in my dreams, and should be a clear sign that I am not awake. I have not developed the habit yet of recognizing this, however. This dream-sign is obviously because I attended the same school for twelve years so most of my associations revolve around that particular scene, which should be to my advantage actually in my attempts to gain lucidity.
3) FAwake: A false awakening. Usually I wake up exactly where I have gone to sleep, depending on the bed I am using. Surprisingly these occur in pairs or triplets when they happen instead of it being an isolated incident.
4) Levels/Video Game: Recently, I have run into dreams where I am in the middle of a what seems to be a quest. I need to perform an action or complete some task in order to beat a level or win the game. I don't know why these have only started recently, but they are very recurrent, and should be another helpful dream-sign. Maybe the root of this is my competitive nature or how I was brought up to view everything in life: as a challenge with a prize at the end.
5) Running without Speed: I have no acronym for this yet, but sometimes in my dreams I will try to jog or run but I will be moving excruciating slow. It's as if I move slower when running than when I am walking.
6) Checking the Time: I do this a lot in dreams, and I have not isolated the anchor as a reality check in real life enough yet. I am trying to RC everytime I check the time now, but it is difficult to remember. Checking the time espcially occurs when I look at my iPhone!
7) Teleportation.

Last night was interesting. My room mate came back at like midnight so I had to stop my alarm from sounding at 3am, which upset me a little bit because I couldn't perform my WILD technique that night, even though I had practiced it earlier that day! I didn't get as much sleep as usual, but the amount of dreams I recalled improved, which is strange. I'm trying to figure out why recall improves and decreases but there seems to be so little correlation to anything I can figure out in real life!

Mistakes from last night:
1) No CAN, no ability to test WILD techniques!
2) Rolling around too much and not resisting the impulse to shift in order to stay asleep.
3) Didn't type or record notes of my dream throughout the night.

Solutions:
1) Set CAN tonight (hopefully) and attempt to separate/indirect techniques.
2) Affirm intention throughout today and before sleep to not move and perform techniques upon awakening.
3) Keep iphone close to pillow to record little notes throughout the night.

Sharktooth

I think im getting close to overcoming my inability to fly since I flew for real this time while being lucid from start to finish. Next time im gonna have something I can think about when I try to fly and remember how I did it.

Dream 1: In my school bus with friends. We chat around until they all decide to get out of it and I follow them. Why? Because then you can hop into another bus with one side ripped off. No sense but watever.

Dream 2: I go to my class like usual, but our room has changed. The school decided to merge us into a big class with another group. I think I had this dream twice that night. I dont know what class were in and noone seems to be telling me. On top of that my science books are not even mine but someone elses from my new group.

Dream 3: With Mr Cormier, we have an exam in geography. The questions make no sense and include drawing various circles and shapes. We have absolutely no time to do it and I obviously didnt study for it . It looks like pretty much everyone messed up bad.

Dream 4: As my awareness goes up I realise that test was completely ridiculous and the questions had nothing to do with school. As soon as I get lucid I see a window. Instinctively I rush into the window and wish so hard that Im gonna fly. The window was closed but watever . Next thing I know im outside in the air and all I see is the night sky with clouds. I look back and see my house far away. I slow down and start flapping my arms. After that, I automatically start...skating with my feet in the air. Dunno why but it worked pretty well. I want some more excitement, so I think of a bunch of little yellow birds and they appear. Then guns pop up and start shooting them. I gradually wake up.

Towards the end of my sleep, I kept getting plonked right in the middle of annoying situations. The second last one was at my primary school and I was still doing work experience. Our class had to get on a bus for an excursion, but the class was split into 3 and one of the groups thought I was an actual teacher and just got on the bus.

I got on too, and the bus drove off. I was trying to decide whether I should have waited for the teacher, because I could get into serious trouble. I eventually decided to tell the bus driver to stop, but a teacher randomly appeared on the bus and said "It's okay, I'm a teacher."

I sat back down and some kids were talking about Gold Class cinemas. I said "You can put your seat all the way back in Gold Class."
__________________________________

Immediately my dream cut to me sitting in a Gold Class cinema, but I had come with nobody. So, rather than waste the $50 on seeing the movie with no one else, I decided to go back out and get a ticket refund before half an hour into the movie. The beginning of the movie had the Columbia logo where there is a lady holding a torch. As I was walking towards the door, I thought "Why do I keep ending up right in the middle of situations? I must be dreaming."

Unlike the other lucid moments I've had, this realisation came on slowly, so I didn't wake up. All I did, because I was so happy, is rub my hands. It felt so real, but this time I knew it was still just a dream.

I proceeded to walk outside the cinema, rubbing my hands the whole time, as I was just about to change the scene...

Someone turned on the shower in the room next to me, waking me up.

Here's how to NOT have a lucid dream:

- drink 2 cups of coffee and 3 energy drinks during the day
- work until midnight
- come home, lay in bed wide awake for 3 hours
