Because of the street construction going that has been happening on my road starting around 7 am, I decided to go to bed early. I set my alarm for 4 am and then listened to a relaxation tape in hopes of having a WILD directly after falling asleep. I figured worst case scenario, if I feel asleep without it, my alarm would wake me up at 4 and I would try again. There were a number of minor set backs, including my alarm went off at 12 by mistake, I set it to snooze and it went off 10 mins later!!!! Then at 1:45 one of my tenant's guests decided to leave the house very loudly and that distracted me and put me in a rather bad mood. I laid in bed most of the night trying to find and then observe the lights in the back of my eyes. I spent a lot of time focusing on them and tried to let them guide me into my dream but nothing worked. I never fully fell asleep. I was up and out of bed a few times, last one was at 5:30. Laid back down and still couldn't fall asleep. My kid said goodbye at 7 am for school, so I refocused and tried again. I had my ear plugs in due to the noise that was about to happen. Not only could I not LD, I stil couldn't fall asleep. Around 9 am I was frustrated but gave it one last attempt. Something weird happened. I was so tired that I was falling in and out of sleep very quickly. I would become aware that I was dreaming and in a dream "world" but that awareness woke me back up. This happened maybe five times. Had to be less than a minute each time it happened. Finally on the last time I attained Lucidity. It started off in my neighborhood. However it was not fully under my control. I could not fly very well.. but when I did I saw a beautiful field from my view above (a field that does not exist where I live). From there I flew around the neighborhood in search of people. The neighborhood changed around me and soon I had no idea where I was located. I briefly remember being inside of a warehouse of some kind at the top of some stairs. Then I woke up and was not able to achieve lucidity again. I think in total my lucid trip was about 5 minutes. Sadly I must have gotten a total of 10 minutes of actual sleep throughout the entire night. Again I am frustrated by the possibility of having a whole night to explore and felt that I was on the right track. But at the same time this makes it three Lucid Dreams in a row (even if the last two were frustrating and brief.)
I was riding with my dad, step-mom, and step-sisters in my dad's semi. I was in the sleeper with the girls, and was holding what I called a "high-power sniper rifle". It didn't have a scope. I asked dad what would happen if it went off, and he said the truck would roll over and we'd all die. He then told me I had to assassinate somebody, and I was all for it! Then, as we got nearer to where my target was to be, I got all emotional and told dad I couldn't kill another person for somebody else's reasons, and dad got pissed! He kept going on with "this isn't about you!" and stuff like that, but I stuck to my morals and flat out told him I WOULDN'T shoot any body and he'd have to do it. We got to the dude's house who I was supposed to kill, and he came outside and tried to tackle me. I grabbed him and tried to throw him on the ground, but he was stronger than me and ended up on top. I tried to roll him over to gain the upper hand, but I was simply not strong enough. I yelled out "Uncle Johnny!" and uncle Johnny ran out of the house and kicked the dude in the head, and I rolled on top of him and my uncle and I beat the crap out of this dude. I woke up feeling proud of myself for being willing to stand up for what I believe in in my dream, and also for beating up some terrorist guy...or something like that...
I was talking to someone in school who just moved to our town about music. He used to play drums, then quit. I told him about my experiences in the school band, and how much I used to hate it. We wound up in the auditorium, which looked a lot like the auditorium in my old elementary school. We took our seats and waited. A girl behind me drooped a t-shirt she was holding, and it floated all the way over to the side of the stage. I offered to go and get it for her. I went over to the stage and behind the curtain, and sure enough, the old band teacher was there. I asked her if she saw a shirt back here and she started to get really mad. She told me "HEY! I happen to LIKE Hannah Montannah." I think she was eating a salad, but I don't remember. Then I had a FA. I was mad that I couldn't remember my dreams that night. I got up and walked inside, and out into the backyard on the porch. Then I woke up for real.
Had a real awesome dream last night that felt like it took ages... I was at home and I had some kind of map in my hand. I looked at it and remembered that I wanted to drive to Berlin (which is very far away from where I live ^^). I told my mother goodbye and got in my car. I marked the way I wanted to drive and started. The strange thing for this dream was that it was like RL. There was nothing in this dream that was unnormal (except for me driving to Berlin haha). I drove down a road and noticed that I forgot to turn right and got on the wrong road. I looked on the map and looked where I was driving. The next possibility to turn around was in a village about 1 kilometre away from my current position. At that point it felt like I already drove for a few hours. When I got into the village I stopped at a gas-station and went inside. I looked around and it was a real small shop. I looked at the magazines and took one. A guy was standing next to me and grabbed one, too. The magazine was full of pictures about nature and that stuff. On one of the pages was a naked women and I was like "What is she doing there?". I walked to the other side of the shop and grabbed myself a bar of chocolate. I went to the cashier and she told me that I don't have to pay anything. On top of that she gave me another candy bar. I thanked her and went into my car. I noticed that it was evening already and I thought about where I could sleep. The first thing that came into my mind was sleeping inside my car. This seemed okay but then I remembered that I forgot to take my sleeping bag with me. I thought about driving back home to get it so I called my mother. I told her that I was going to drive back to get the sleeping bag. I looked at my map to see how far it was. My home was about 40 Kilometres away from my position. I got back in the car and got on my way. At that point it wasn't evening anymore but it was midday :O Another realistic but strange part about this dream was that I really had to drive the car. I had to move the gear shift and break when another car was in front of me and that stuff. Suddenly I noticed that I forgot again to turn right. I drove up a really big hill and saw a sign of the fire-department. I thought about going there but when I arrived at the top of the hill I woke up. This dream felt like it took ages because I really felt every hour. In reality I only slept 2 hours :O

My dream started with a canoe trip. I was in a large canoe with 3 women and a man. We were on a river and these 4 people were training for some big river challenge that was going to be held in Australia. I was slightly concerned about our safety. I was a lifeguard earlier in my life but I didn't know how well these other people could swim, but then I looked behind us and there was some kind of motorized craft trailing us for rescue purposes. It started raining and I held my forearm up overhead to shield myself and one of the women. I had some kind of gauntlet covering my forearm that offered us some shelter. We pulled into a dock and there was a festival going on. I heard music that I really liked and it sounded kind of familiar. I saw the band finishing their set and realized it was my band! They played without me! But I was on this cane trip, so I guess they had to do it by themselves. The good thing was that they sounded really sweet.
i had another dream about being late for work and considering not going into work, the dream itself lasted quite a while but i cant remember that much. i know my brother had just broken up with his ex and he wasnt really bothered about this. i am still in a mega dry spell but things WILL get better!
I was outside of a school, it was dark an in front of me was a track an the people running on the track were from band. (Just the day before I had track tryouts at school so I know where this came from.) As we were running, our coach (who sounded like one of my previous coaches) came over a bullhorn and was shouting at us, that we did not get to eat if we did not show better work. The dream scene switched and we were now inside. Mostly everyone was sitting on the ground while I was standing up and we were all eating pizza. We were watching something on tv that I didn't see but could hear and I think that it was "I Survived." After this I barely remember me going into the main hallway and having a conversation with two ladies sitting in chairs with an umbrella over them. (All of this dream I was seeing people that I know which is one of my dream signs and the fact that they are all from band, which is another one of my dream signs but yet my brain still does not recognize this fact and it makes me miss out on a lot of lucid dreams because just about every one of my dreams has a person I know (or I'm in a band area.), in a place or situation they would not normally be in. Hopefully this gets a lot better. )
this is real. i was laying in my bed and my friend came in and she said her friend john was coming over. i thought i would like to meet john but i was feeling pretty tired. i fell asleep. i woke up again and my friend and john were talking in the the living room, i lay there thinking i should get up, go meet john. And then i must have fallen asleep again. in my dream my house was two story and nothing like the house i actually live in, but i knew it like the back of my hand. i went donw stairs to use the bathroom, my plan was to go down stairs then i would go up stairs and meet john. down stairs it was dark, and somewhere a tap was dripping, i flicked the light switch, but it didn't turn on.suddenly i was so terrified, like never before, i streamed out my friends name as loud as i could, but nothing came out of my mouth. This was when i became insanely lucid, for the first time ever. i walked up the stairs and it was light and there was a window infont of me with a really nice day out of it. everyone has always told me that the best thing to do is fly, so i jumped out the window, and flew, it wasn't that great, but i was esatic anyway. then i thought, what do i want the most, and in real life that is this dude i'm inlove with, so i called him into my dream, and he lay on this giant tower with the sun all around him, and i think i was flying above him. but when he was there i got this feeling that he really didn't mean that much to me, and that there were things way more exciting and important. i spent awhile just opening and closing my eyes, with great amazement that i wasn't waking up. just breathing and blinking in my dream. Then i met john and he had six or eight hands, i went to shake them, but they would slip away from my each time i tryed. they were covered in old pirate tatoos. i laughed i was so estatic about everything. i said, 'you have very elusive hands.' I was down under my dream house and my friend and john were picking mulberrys from a tree, and i was so damn happy about it all. then i woke up, and i shouted out my friend's name and she and the real john came running into the room. in the dream i would fall in and out of control and lucidity but them dream was the most vivid and amazing dream i've ever had.
non lucid - lucid i was in a pool and swimming. out of the blue a blue eyed blond teen got in my way and wouldent let me pass. we passed on cursess and argued untill I said something and called her a fucking bitch (bad bad lenguage ) and she sulked away. somehow I found myself in my room looking at myself im my big mirror. noticing my hair was curly and blond and comented that I dyed it too light. after looking away for a second my reflction showed me with brown hair. a second look a way and my hair turned ginger. At that I did an RC (nose pluge) and became lucid. (Yayyyyyyyy!! ) i want downstairs and into an unfamiliar living room. I looked out the window and saw a huge van (blue and with white writing on it), Ice-crean van style throwing some sort of bombs at the buildings around it. the bombs were thrown into the air and then landed on the ground causing a small explotion. I flew out the window to see what was going on and after I saw it I flew back to my house and told my parants to run away but they sayed it does that all the time and that they were fine. I belived them and flew down to the street.
After I awoke this morning, I laid there trying to recall as much detail of my dream as I could. I'm not quite sure of the order of the events, so it might seem a little jumbled. I'm outdoors and standing on a dirt road in what seems like a national forest of some kind. A steep hill rises on one side. There are other guys standing around and we're all wearing shorts, t-shirts and running shoes and it appears we're in some sort of race or competition. But this isn't the actual competition because we're all following a small group who are leading us in running up the hill through the trees. It appears we're doing some sort of dry run and being shown the course. We run up the hill and eventually come to a lake, which we have to get across. The leaders tell us that the first ones who make it across will be able to ride back on a fire truck. I next find myself at my parent's house. I've gotten everything I need for the contest and am walking out the door but just as the door closes, I realize I left my keys inside the house. So I pick up my stuff and, in doing so, find my keys. (Big sigh of relief!) I read the rules for the race and see that there's a part where you have to go 10 miles on a bicycle but I don't have a bicycle so I'm worried how I'm going to do that part of the race. Then I find a little temporary tattoo with instructions to apply the temporary tattoo on your hand after you're done with the bicycle part of the race. I come up with the idea to just go ahead and apply the tattoo so I can skip that part of the race and start licking the back of my hand so I can put it on. Next I'm running down the dirt road, trying to find the spot where you run up the hill. I think I find it and turn and start running but the path leads me to the right and I find myself back at my parent's house, running through the yard and down the driveway. Now I'm worried that the dogs will bark, alerting my Mom that someone is in the yard and that she'll see me and wonder what I'm doing. Now I'm worried that I'm so far behind that I'll lose the race. I keep running anyway and eventually find the right spot in the road where I'm supposed to be. Two of the leaders are standing there so I tell them what happened and ask where everyone else is. That's when they tell me that the race is tomorrow, not today.
Dream Fragment - checkered Early on in the night I remember standing on somekind of black and white checkered board, around me are other platforms which are striped and checkered black and white, some other people are with me. Bunny comic I am with an old friend who I haven't seen in a while - he is showing me what he has been working on recently, a dark humor comic book - in the same style as the simpsons 'Itchy and Scratchy' I flick through the comic book - the images are nice, it seems to be about a floppy eared bunny - kinda like this: But nicely colored in, one frame has a detailed pic of a giant beetle, another has a skeleton. My friend tells me that he just did the penciling, which didn't look as good as what they do now after being colored by someone else
[COLOR="red"]Lucid[/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]Dream[/COLOR] [COLOR="silver"]Thoughts[/COLOR] [COLOR="lightblue"]Hytpnagogic[/COLOR] [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]2593[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [COLOR="blue"]I was in my phiosophy class, but my favourite teacher Therese wasn't there. Instead there was a substitute and for some strange reason she still called me the name the other teacher uses to call me "Chrille". But this teacher wasn't either fun or interesting to listen to. So the whole class got bored and in this vivid dream I even got so angry that I throw all my books on the floor. And I remember that I could control my Spotify player with my mind, although I didn't realised that I was dreaming. Then outside of the classroom I drank salt water and I was told that I was going to be able to do magical things. I went out of the school and a cocky guy approached me and said "Hey tough guy, you want a fight huh?" I said "You really don't want to disturb me right now.." "Hah you think you are cool or what" he said. When he tried to box me I just grabbed his hand and jumped really high, and he looked nervously at me as we flew through the sky. When we landed I didn't make fun of him, instead I hugged him and said "It's okay I wont hurt you, but as I said don't try to bully or dusturb anyone again". He looked scared at me.

I was just reading through my old DJ... My recall was so much better. And I was friends with a lot more people. I guess that's my fault, though, for not posting for a long time and falling out of contact with everyone. I'll just have to start again. ~So, fragment from last night. A school bus was tipped over in my yard. Apparently it was some kind of test for the bus's emergency systems.
For the past few nights, I've had dreams about writing and learning to improve my handwriting. the night before last, I dreamed I was in a house taking part in a calligraphy class. Last night, I dreamed I was back in grade school (although I wasn't any younger), learning to write in cursive for a contest. I wonder what this means, if anything. My handwriting has always been a bit of an annoyance to me. It hasn't changed since fourth grade, and sometimes people find it impossible to read. Maybe my subconscious is using that as a symbol of something else going on in my life. Or maybe not. Maybe it's just "dream gibberish". But the fact that it's happened two nights in a row really intrigues me.
