This was the first lucid dream I've ever had:

So I was in another dream, and I awoke into my bed and remembered to think "next time I'm dreaming, I'll realize I'm dreaming." Then I was floating in pure whiteness and said that thought out loud to myself. Instantly upon doing so I was hit with a full body rush similar to intense shivers and tingling throughout all my extremities and I burst through the clouds and began my descent down towards the ground, fully lucid. Not having any previous flying experience I decided to experiment how exactly flying is done. I would describe the sensation to swimming, where treading with your arms will direct you in the path you want to go. This was the happiest I have ever been as i felt the wind whipping through my hair and could see the ground rushing underneath me.

Then I saw a large pack of wild animals, some wolfs, deer, moose, and others all charging in a heard below me. I stuck both hand out in front of my face and directed the momentum and path of the herd to my exact liking and laughed out loud while doing so (I've never felt so empowered and free in my life). I continued to fly after the herd had disappeared out of sight and flew up just about a tree line. There I saw a random telephone pole and perched right on top, out of breath. I remember thinking to myself, "gee, I've never free fallen before.." and then I put my arms straight out to the side and fell backwards off the telephone pole all the way down to my bed where I awoke THRILLED at what I had just achieved. I would classify this as a life changing dream/event.

There is some PlayStation game that I am playing and I am remembering watching my
brother play it. I forget what game it is. I get to a point where I had stopped watching him
and I go through this entire part until I get to the part where I came back in and continued.
I'm not sure if this memory is real or if it is a footprint.
I am at a circular bazaar type place and there are men in black suits looking for me. I go
around the bazaar and see this lady selling some music stuff. I ask her if she has a Clarinet
or Alto Saxophone mouthpiece. It had a name, something not real, which I forget. I then talk
to another lady and she gives me a valuable piece of information which I forget. I go around
the circular bazaar and up some steps off the side up to a fountain. There is a naked woman
there who walks toward me. I hug her and find myself naked as well and start... you know.
The dream snaps to my room at home. The woman is still there. Then she disappears and I
am fully clothed and forget about her. A bunch of other people are in my room with me, my
brother and some girl I do not know. We are planning something to do with the information
that lady had given me. I get a phone call from my crush and she tells me to meet her. The
dream snaps to a road in the woods with some gravel offshoots to what looks like a park or
something. I see my crush and she tells me that the lady who gave me the information was
taken by the men who were looking for me. The dream ends.

One of my strangest ever
I was kind of hesitant to write the explicit part in my dream journal...

I am in a convenience store looking around and I see all the isles, I see chips and candy.
I get to the refrigerated isle and I see milk and ice cream, etc... I am still cautiously keeping
an eye out for the people who were chasing me in the last dream. I can hear a radio playing
on the store's speakers in the background. It is an interview. I go up to the corner of the store
and there is a bar there. My dad is standing there along with one of my instructors from
marching band. The instructor has some sort of blue gel that he is rubbing on these sores he
has. As he rubs in the gel it turns a white soapy color, kind of like vicks vapor rub. He complains
about the sores getting worse. I hear a song on the radio and say thats ( I don't remember )
by From Autumn to Ashes. There is more talking on the radio then I hear Long To Go by the
same group. I say "Thats Long To Go by From Autumn To Ashes". I then realize that the radio
is playing a documentary on the group which is pretty interesting. The dream ends.

Interesting backstory or this dream. Every night, I get my shower, dress in my clothes for
the next day and go to bed in those clothes. From Autumn To Ashes ( FATA ) is one of my favorite
bands and I have a t-shirt of them. It is that t-shirt that I decided to wear for the next day.

This dream scared me a little.
I am in the entryway to a building. The entryway looks quite similar to that of the music
building at my university but the rest of it is like some convenience store. I am holding one
of those Nesquick chocolate milk mix containers and it is filled with homemade nitroglycerin.
I think that came from watching Fight Club two nights ago...
Anyway, I set the container down on a bench-like part of the wall that juts out near the floor.
There are some subtle electronics on the top of the lid. I leave, lapse in memory, and come back.
I notice the container is gone. I make another one and think "It should have clued me in when the
building was still here". Suddenly I see a couple people and I hide. I try to avoid them while setting
the other container. I get ready to leave and they spot me. They start chasing me and I run. The
dream snaps to my best friend's driveway. The people are still there but further off. My best friends
sister comes up from behind and says we need to get out of here. She pulls up an ATV and we ride
away on a trail. The dream ends.

I am in some sort of store that sells video games. I look at a shelf and there are
all the major systems. I look through these for a while and run into my friend Kyle.
I say hi and suddenly a bunch of other kids our age start throwing rubber balls at us
and we start playing dodgeball. After a short game, the dream snaps to my yard by
our shed. Kyle is still with me and my Dad is there as well. I look up into the woods
and see an Antman from Dungeon Master Java.

I look down on the ground and see its spiked club. I pick it up and throw it at the
monster. The dream ends before it hits.

On two separate occasions in my dream tonight she kissed me. I can vividly remember her face and her pretty blonde hair during the whole time, which is unsual for my dreams. Not going into names on the off chance that somebody I know reads this. It was a thoroughly enjoyable dream. At one point during the second part I actually realized I was dreaming for just a moment, because I realized it was too good to be true. Some reality check. I was actually upset to go lucid and let myself fall back into normal dreaming. The first time it happened we had been playing some game and the place we were in turned into a locker block where it was just her and I. We flirted for a bit and it finally happened.

Second was in the elevator after we had gone to the gym with a group of people. I remember the walk back but that pales in comparison to the way she was all over me in the elevator, crazy about me. I remember not being able to get my lips wet enough for a good kiss though. This is because my mouth often dries out while I'm sleeping. This may have been the sign that made me realize I was dreaming.

[I]Last night I believe I had a mixture of lucid dreaming and normal dreaming in one dream, but I only remember parts and from the lucid parts I remember, I don't remember having much control, but read on...[/I]

[I]Anyways, I decided to try FILD last night and I believe it worked, as this is the first lucid I've had in around a week, trying every night with WBTB. Since I can't remember the beginning of the dream, its hard to say whether it was the result of FILD or not, I really need to improve my dream recall.[/I]

Anyways, the first part I remember seems to be non lucid, as I was in my garage and two of my friends were there and I was telling them about the FILD technique. My theory is that it worked and I was ecstatic, and in the process of moving from my bed (FILD almost always starts as a seeming failure/FA) throughout my house, I lost lucidity, but my dream continued to be about FILD as it was on my mind.

[COLOR="green"]Next, I remember being in my kitchen to tell my sister about FILD also, but she was screaming at me for something. It was hectic and I tried to make her disappear by swiping my hand horizontally across in the air and saying "Go away" or "Disappear" or something, which failed.[/COLOR] I don't remember much more than this, but I believe for this part I was lucid or I probably wouldn't be trying to make my sister just disappear :P

[I]Not too sure if this all was the result of FILD or not, like I said. But I have a pretty good feeling it was, but its just my dream recall that is failing me. Ill need to work on it, I've heard a banana aids vividness and recall ability, so I'll try that tonight. I'll also be trying FILD again. LDing is really exciting![/I]

Ugh I have the most horrible time remembering dreams when they're not full blown nightmares. Need to work on that, especially considering my last one was rather pleasant up until the the end. Oh well I'll write down everything I can recall, which isn't much.

I know that I was in a strange house with a group of people that I knew in the dream, but have no memory of ever meeting in the waking world. I was in an attic that was nothing more then the wooden skeleton of the house. No carpet, or color on the walls. There were boxes packed with stuff shoved off to the side and it was really bright. Much brighter then an attack should have been though i don't remember seeing any lights. It was almost like it was natural sunlight though there were no windows.

I was running. I think it was some sort of race that I was determined to win. So determined that when my cat Dahlia stepped out in front of me I didn't bother to stop. I simply jumped to try and jump over her, but I failed and ended up stomping on her. At first I didn't feel bad about it until I stopped to pick her up and look her over. She was badly hurt with scratches on her chin and face, but the worst of it was her front leg. The skin and muscle had been completely torn away leaving bloody exposed bone. The skin was just dangling from her with her entire paw hanging off of it. She wasn't acting like she was in any pain, but just had this really angry pissed off look, though deep down I knew that she was dying. I was so upset that I actually ended up waking up from it.

I then proceeded to hunt down my cat and snuggle with her under the covers for the rest of the night, much to her annoyance.

Dream Lucid Partially lucid

Feb. 10, '11: I was driving my car on the highway, going to work. I did not have very good control over the car. (a common dream sign) I blacked out for a few seconds and realized I had been in an accident. We pulled over. someone was hurt and had to go to the hospital. Another man was angry.
I was very upset. N arrived and I told her what happened. I told her that I was going to work, even though I don't work there anymore. I thought I had woken up from a dream, thinking I had to go to work, like I was still in the dream state of mind after waking up. So I thought I was confusing dream and waking reality. This is another example of a dream screwing with my mind.

Then I was in my parents' house, in the kitchen. Finally it occurred to me that I could be dreaming. I was too caught up in the moment earlier to think of it. I pinched my nose and breathed through it, confirming that I was dreaming.
My parents were there and I slapped them in the face (playfully?).
I talked to Anna and told her that I never really knew her very well.

I'm sitting outside my house at a picnic table. The unfriendly housekeeping girl with the short hair is sitting across from me, and one of the kids, CH, is walking around behind me. I'm eating french fries and the housekeeping person asked if I put salt and pepper on them, and I said yes. Then she put on an unreasonable amount of salt and I thought she did it just to annoy me, but I was nice to her anyways.

...

I'm standing in line waiting for something, maybe in a mall.

2-10-11: I got inside of a Warthog from Halo and I was supposed to be on a rescue mission. I put a very miniature bookshelf in the back seat. I had to find artifacts of power before I could rescue the person. I sighed and started the vehicle and drove down the muddy path. I looked at the sky and it was very dark and cloudy. Something appeared and I started shooting at it. It was a very strange looking bird. It looked like a Moa, but with a larger beak. More appeared and I kept shooting and kept driving and looked to the right. I seemed to be on top of a mountain, there was a valley below, and all of the leaves on the trees had very dark green leaves. There soon was a hill and upon going down it more of the moa came and I kept shooting them and running them over. I saw the person I was supposed to rescue then all of a sudden it reset and I was back at the beginning of the mission. I looked at my map and there were little red dots of where the artifacts were at. I drove down the same path. This time there were no moa and soon I drove up to a house and got out. I walked through the door and down to the basement to look for the artifact, and I found it. It was an opal heart with a pearl in the center. I picked it up and put it in the miniature bookshelf and started walking back up the stairs then I heard a noise. I went back and checked the corner. A plastic container lid came off of the container and I studied it for a moment and put it back on and started walking back up the steps again and I heard the same noise. I checked it out again and the same thing happened. Then for some reason I came to the conclusion that the house was haunted and I ran up the stairs, forgetting the mini bookshelf and when I got to the door it felt like something pushed me and panicking I ran outside and shut the door. I looked back and saw the door starting to open and I began to use some energy to make the door close then I realized I was dreaming. I yelled that I was dreaming and suddenly remembered to use all five senses to make the dream more vivid and better lucidity. I looked around then smelled the air. I smelled nothing and then I made it smell like a pine forest. I heard a couple walking by and I ran over to them and poked them and for taste I bit one of the people’s arms. Then I ran off and thought of my lucid goals, which one of them was to have shared dreaming. So I saw a wall and said “An image will appear and I will be in D’s dream.” I ran towards the wall as an image appeared and ran through. All I saw was blackness and all of a sudden I stood up and my vision cleared. I was standing in a dark department store and people from my school were looking for things and I somehow pinpointed his position and kept walking. I came to a small hallway and he was on his computer and I yelled to him. “Hey, D!” He looked around confused and got up and started walking, looking around.
“Who is that!?” He asked unsure.
“It’s T! What’s wrong?”
He looked around. “I can’t see you.”
I placed my hand on the wall and forced energy through me to make me visible. He looked at my surprised. Suddenly my vision started failing. “Oh crap! Hey, I’m waking up! I gotta go, see ya!” Then for some reason I had a false awakening then woke up right after that.

I had this dream several months ago, but just recalled it

It is dark out. There is a carnival in town. The bright, lit up signs are displaying names of the acts. The signs and a few flood lights are the only thing lighting up the area. Otherwise, it is dark. There is a maze of metal roofing parts that is an attraction. I am scared, because there is barely any light in this maze and I get the sense there are people in this maze besides just me. I begin to walk through the maze, trying to get closer to the lights of the carnival, but I keep hitting dead ends.

A black boy, maybe my age, walks out from the shadows. He is wearing a navy sweater and jeans. I know he is dead, a spirit, and become very alarmed. I start to run through the maze and other spirits start to appear beside me. I come across another family, a father and his two girls, and they are as scared as me. We can tell the other is alive and we join up together. We are running through the maze and I have the hand of one of the daughters. The shadows behind us are alarming and I want to get out of there quickly.

Suddenly,we find the end and spill out onto the dark green grass and muddy soil. We see the pitiful carnival, which consists of one food vendor (the kind that is a trailer with glass and lightbulbs to make up the lighting) and I see a fence that is blocking off the metal maze. They tell me it is off limits and that I wasn't supposed to go in there. That it wasn't part of the carnival. I get in trouble, because of it, and they ask me to leave, closing the chain link fence behind me. I am in the dark outside the fence and I am alarmed that I will have the spirits follow me now that they know me.

Dream - Lucid

I know I had more dreams than this last night, but this is all I can recall.

I was with my mom and brother in the car. We were going to eat at Subway. We drove up to the Subway, and it looked closed. There was a note on the door, saying they were moving locations or something. We went in anyway. There were still people working there, and they took my mom's and brother's orders. When my turn came, the girl behind the counter was going very slow, taking her precious time. We were talking as I told her what I wanted on my sandwich. When I told her I wanted a few jalepenos, she said something along the lines of

"You've gotta watch out for those jalepenos!", and then something about the owner of the restaurant.

More people started to come into the Subway now. In fact, a lot of people were in there, waiting in line. The girl that was making my sandwich was holding up the line. By the time she finished and gave it to me, my brother and mom were almost done eating. I walked over to them and said "Finally..."

Then, the Subway had two sandwich bars and two registers. They had opened up the "other one" because it had gotten so busy.

Then, I started to see these cloud dragons, with heads like Chinese dragons, but clouds as bodies. Their cloud bodies were just a long trail of clouds, trailing behind them. They had no limbs. They were floating through the air of the restaurant.

Then, I was in a cloud world, full of beautiful colors like a sunrise. The cloud dragons were everywhere. I was walking along some path in the sky, when I came across this tiny monkey-looking creature that was about the size of a guinea pig. I held out my hand, and it climbed on, scratching me a little with his nails, but it wasn't that painful, just uncomfortable. He started to talk to me, though I can't remember what he was saying. As I walked along, I encountered more of these, and talked to each one. Then, I saw a mini stegasaurus-looking creature, about the size of the monkeys. I called to him. He looked very sleepy, but slowly made it onto my hand. He didn't have nails, so he didn't scratch me up like the monkeys. He talked to me as well, though I can't remember what he said.

I had this dream the night of Feb. 9, 2011. My memory of it is limited

My fiance and I were at my aunt's house. We were watching the news and a story came on about the end of the world. It said we only had 2 weeks before a massive phenomenon would destory the planet. I began to panic and my fiance got up and walked out.

--

We had gone to my grandfather's ranch. Others were there. No one seemed concerned about the end of the world. I continued to ponder what it would mean for the world to end. What I wanted to do in my two weeks time. It was morning and I had just gotten up. I looked outside and he was working on a car with my grandfather and some other men. I thought how infuriating it was that the world was ending in a matter of days and he was out working on a vehicle.

I pulled my robe around me and walked outside. I noticed some new horses were in the pastures. They were tall and bucksin or gruella paints. I noticed a little girl with curly, blond hair standing by the cabin and a horse standing in front of it with a bridle on. It was a nice looking, gruella paint mare. She was nervously prancing around. The girl was looking at the horse and seemed scared. I saw my fiance had gone into the cabin and I walked up the steps, then saw another man sleeping on the cot and just waved at my fiance, who gave me a peculiar look.

I then walked back down the steps and I was dressed in my regular riding clothes with my boots on. I grabbed the mare by one rein and moved her back from the little girl. I asked her if she had ever been around horses and she shook her head. She reached out to pet the horse, but the mare was prancing and I warned the girl not to get too close because the horse might step on her. The girl retreated and looked scared again. I walked to tie the mare up to one of the trees and as I did so, the girl lit up and yelled out a name while looking at the horses. I said "Do you know these horses?" in a sly tone, and she smiled at me and I said "Are these your horses?" She smiled and grinned with a giggle.

Woke up to the alarm

---Non-dream---Dream---Lucid---

The dream apparently started in my backyard. Three or four people were standing next to the tree there, and most of them were holding a gun. I approached them, and fortunately they didn't shoot at me. Suddenly one of them fell over, and I picked up his pistol and loaded it. As soon as he got up, I pointed the gun at his head and shot him. He fell to the ground. The other people began walking toward me in a threatening manner. I loaded the pistol and shot two of them, leaving only one to go. It was a girl with what looked more like a Nerf gun that a real one. She just casually walked past me toward a swing set in the yard. I pointed my gun at her, but the trigger did nothing. She grinned evilly at me, and put my ammo (I had no idea how she'd gotten it) into her gun. Suddenly I became lucid and stood up to her. She began shooting these rectangles at me, but they did nothing, even when they hit me dead-on. I loudly declared, "I'm lucid! No matter what you try, you can't harm me!" My opponent disappeared a moment later.

The lucid dream continued from here, but I don't want to post the whole thing. There are some things in my dreams that I just don't want people to know about. However, I will say that during this lucid dream, I completed the Basic ToTM for February; a record of that is posted in the corresponding thread.
