Non-dream Dream Semi-Lucid Lucid I don't know if this is the beginning of the dream, but it's the earliest part of the dream that I can remember. Right away, I know that I am dreaming and that my goal was to complete the basic task of the month before trying to find my dream guide. I am in my room (which is actually messy this time, unlike last time. Much more accurate). I want to go somewhere else, and try to fly, but for some reason am having difficulty. I'm not able to simply start flying, like I usually am, so I decide to go to my "back up" method, which a dream character taught me when I was 5 or 6: I have to throw myself at the ground, and not be afraid of hitting it. (Kind of like that Douglas Adams quote, but I learned this long before I ever read it)It sort of works, but I get stuck hovering a few inches off my floor, and can't really move. I stand up, and try simply jumping. I hover in the air, and have to make some swimming motions to get going, but finally I'm able to fly like normal, and fly through the window. While I'm flying, I remember I need to anchor the dream, so look around at the detail of the shingles on the roof underneath my window, and then at the grass and the trees, rub my hands together, and - because it's so quiet - start singing, until everything feels significantly solid. Rather than trying to go anywhere else, I land in the back yard, where my cat is running around, and take a moment to appreciate the detail - everything is laid out exactly as it is in real life, and when I look down, I can see the detail of every blade of grass (though this isn't quite accurate because our "grass" is actually mostly weeds). I remember the task of the month, and shout "I need a Dream Character!" No one appears in front of me, so I turn around (a little too fast) and the whole dream crumbles away. Everything is almost black, but I know I'm still dreaming, because I still feel like I'm standing, and I can't feel my real body, so I start singing and rubbing my hands together until things start coming back, and then walking around in a circle, feeling the grass on my feet, until everything is nicely solid again. My cat runs by, and I reach down to pet him, then start walking farther towards the back of my yard. I turn my head, and see a guy with a giant electric lawn mower cutting my neighbour's lawn. "Hey, you!" He stops the lawn mower as I run over and hop the fence. "Sing me a song." He looks kind of confused for a minute (and I notice that he kind of looks like Bruce Willis, but not quite), and then..." "Um, okay... what would you like to hear? Classical? Rock?" "Sing me your very favourite song." He gives a huge smile "Okay!" and launches into some kind of jazz song that I don't recognize, but sounds like it must be a real song I had heard somewhere. I wonder why my brain came up with that one, since I don't really like the style, and start looking around, wondering how long he's going to be singing, because I really don't want to be here forever. A few seconds after I think that, he stops and says, "I only want to do one verse." He goes back to his gardening, and I start trying to mess around and make rocks levitate, because in the lucid I had a couple nights before, I was able to make things fly around. But it won't work, no matter how hard I try, and suddenly the dream is gone. I catch myself before I start to move, and lie perfectly still. I keep telling myself "I want to find my dream guide" and try to pick someplace that I want to go so I can imagine myself there, and hopefully enter my dream there, but I can't think of anything, and start drifting in and out of hallucinations and dreams. Finally, one solidifies, and again, I already know that I'm dreaming. I'm in some kind of military base, with either cement or metal walls, ceiling, and floor. Only the emergency lighting is on, so everything is kind of yellow. I start wondering around, and doors open for me as I approach them. The place seems to be completely deserted. I start anchoring the dream by touching the walls, the floor, rubbing my hands together, rubbing my legs. I put my ear to a wall to try and hear anything, but it is quiet, so I start singing a little bit again. I go through another door, to an intersection of a few hallways, and see a DC doing something at an electrical panel, and think "good, I need to get a DC to sing to me," and start to approach him, but then remember I've already done that, and now I'm trying to find my Dream Guide. I turn around, on my left there is a single orange door, and directly in front of my is a double orange door. I put my hands on the door knobs and say, "My dream guide is going to be on the other side of these doors." I open them, expecting to see the tall, freckled, curly-haired red-head who I saw once and thought might have been my dream guide (though never managed to confirm it because she disappeared too quickly) but don't see anything. It is very dark, so I walk through the doors, and see another set of orange doors - open - a few feet away, and walk through them into a large room with a low ceiling and dim lighting. Halfway across the room, I see an asian girl who seems to be standing on stilts. "Are you my dream guide?" She nods, and starts walking across the room to stand in the corner opposite me, but on the same side as the door. As she is walking, I realize she isn't on stilts, but has abnormally long legs - she was wearing light-coloured knee-high socks that just made it look like she was on stilts. "Really?" She nods, "Yes." I start to walk towards her, and almost immediately the dream disappears. Once again, I lie perfectly still and picture the room I had just been in, trying to get back to it, but just drift in and out of non-lucids for a while before my alarm goes off, and I finally get frustrated and give up.
I was in a gray library looking for books. Meh, all i was doing was looking for books Soon i heard a frantic voice calling my name repeatedly very loudly. I then woke up.
I was watching a spider walk around. It was gray and had furrylegs. It wtas about the size of the palm of y hand. It was on my bed. I was just looking at it crawl around. I had another dream about a spider but i dont remember it
I was in a classroom, being taught a lesson, I presume. I stood up straight away, realizing that this is a dream, I don't know how I realized. I just stood up and thought 'this is a dream.' I walked over to a door, my class seemed not to have a problem with it. I remembered that I could 'change dream scenes' or as I called it, teleporting. I went through many doors, teleporting to different places, but wandering to the next door without exploring my surroundings. I regret that now, I could have discovered more 'lucid powers.' I come to another door, which is the last door I went through, and the only place I could remember. I decided I wanted to go to the Eiffel Tower, not a random place like I have done before. I ended up not directly under the Eiffel Tower, like I had planned. But with the Eiffel Tower a few blocks away, and me next to a river, coming out of a warehouse door, with some French lads opposite me. They taunted me, but I just ignored them and was about to go towards the Eiffel Tower, when... My mum woke me up, by getting out of bed and making noise. All I had is a brief recollection of this lucid, which I have patched together and made this story out of. I called this 'The Adjustment Bureau' because if anyone has seen the film, they travel through doors to different places, much like changing a scene, or rather dream scene, in my case.

1) Dream of my crush.
I DID IT- for the first time OK the dream started in my house where I was having a party with all my friends. I go into my bathroom to do something and end up acidentally drrinking shampoo instead of beer I am then in a weird clinically clean white place and still not lucid. I start talking to a young boy who is walking beside me and he tells me he put the shampoo into my dream on purpose to make me lucid- and him telling me this does make me lucid! He also tells me there are dream characters who want to keep me trappeed in my mind and I see them leaving. One is a pinched looking woman and I cannot remember what the other looked like. The kid tells me that I can leave my mind now, and shows me a door leading to outside, which is a quaint village. I step out the door, but decide to change my mind and try to teleport somewhere else. The kid closes the door and I focus on the inside of a volcano (no particular reason) but I can still see through the windows and when the doors open nothing has changed. I try again, looking away from the window and when it opens it is a indian restaurant with a fountain with lights in the middle, the candles illuminating the areas that I had imagined to be glowing lava. I walked through, around the fountain and saw loads of plates of food, which reminds me that I want to eat something in my dream. I decide to teleport somewhere else where there is simpler tasting food. as I walk up the stairs I consider the simplest solution, MacDonalds, where I could get some chips. suddenly, all the DC's behind me start singing the macdonalds song (which really irritates me) Without realising I have compleated the TOTM I turn around and glare at them. I say to one of my friends, 'I will have to think of something a bit more original now'. Irritated by my friends I try to teleport by myself by ripping a potal in the fabric of reality, but before I can I wake up. This was a dream full of firsts for me, teleportation (on my private dream tasks), TOTM (even if it was unintentionall) and the boy who told me he was trying to release me from my mind- I'm not sure what I think of dream guides, but...I guess I will have to see if I see him again. I think that he was a younger version of me, maybe from a time when I was less cynical
This dream was like an animated adventure film. It was a lot like logorama. I repeatedly told myself I wanted to have a dream like lograma. Everything is kushti I'm walking with characters from Regular Show and I'm Mordecai. We're in New York and getting into a cable car. For some reason the cable car has an eject unit on the side. I'm not lucid at this point but it is wierd. Something happens and then we get off at the cable car station. There is an evil cat and he wants to take over the world by throwing people out of cable cars. Me,Rigby and some white bird go back to foil his evil plan we went into the car and fought him. We then ejected him but it wasn't over. I was lucid now but the story was too good so I forgot about controlling the dream. Rigby mostly saved the day by throwing himself at the cat. We foiled his plan by capturing him and taking him to the station (I think).
Lucid I do a reality check and i'm at the same town as i was in my last dream.i touch the wall and want to run on it lol , but i look at the sky , it has a few clouds , i focus on the clouds and it becomes very vivid , then i see tall mountains with snowy peaks in the distance .I see the wall again and want to run on it to get on the top of the building.The dream ends.
Lucid I do a reality check and i look around.I'm one step in my fathers car,which is parked in a parking lot .I see a town in a distance and my dream starts to fade out , but i start spinning around and i'm back again.This time the town is not too far away, so i start walking towards it.I start jumping high and there is a tree, which has red berries on it.I run , jump and run my hand through thick layer of small branches , they had spikes on them..It actually hurt.I want to run faster and in a second i'm near the town.I stand by a church and want to try to fly, i just jump and stay in the air , i have little control of it.I want to find a celebrity in this town , first one that comes in my mind is Emma Watson lol , i know i need to imagine her standing somewhere or something , i see a little girl coming and telling me something and i ignore her.I go inside big , but old house , something like an old post office.I go into a hall and my dream ends.
Notes Non-Lucid Lucid I've had 8 LDs and my dream always ends by the door of any house i wake up in and i just couldn't go outside I wake up in my bed and my grandmother comes into my room with a tuxedo and a plate which has food on it , she starts telling me something about the food , she picks a piece of the plate , it looks like a wrapped pasta with sauce(?).I suddenly think "My grandmother in a tuxedo, what the hell?" that tells me to do a reality check. I look around the room and see sun shining outside the window .I won't do the same mistake again , so i open the window.I touch the window glass ,its cold , really realistic.i jump out and start walking towards the exit to the street, it's quite chilly outside.I wake up
Non-lucid I'm just sitting on the grass near my house , looking at the pictures in an album , when suddenly my ex girlfriend comes and joins , she puts her head on my shoulder , so i put my arm around her waist, she does the same.The dream ends.
[COLOR="red"]Lucid[/COLOR] [COLOR="royalblue"]Semi-Lucid[/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]Dream[/COLOR] [COLOR="silver"]Thoughts[/COLOR] [COLOR="silver"]On this Wake Back to bed I were only up to go to the bathroom and I did put on socks to keep my feet warm, then I fell asleep with the timer on. A great tip that helped me fall asleep, focus on your breathing, if you are really good at meditation you might keep awake, but if your not you will black out. I counted up to 5 alarms before I started to have a dream[/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]I were on a school and was going to park my bike, but I just couldn't lock it. So I stood there for a long time and raged over my bike.[/COLOR] [COLOR="silver"]Then the sixth alarm woke me up, and I blacked out again.[/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]I was watching Tom and Jerry, but not from a TV perspective I was there and I was transformed into a cartoon bear. Some of my friends thought it was a game and I chased them. Then I couldn't find them anyway, so I looked out through the window and saw that they were out on the garden. I climbed out to the high roof[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]and the phantom beep from the alarm made me aware I guess, because it came from nowhere. I looked down on my worried friends and I thought that I really should try to fly down from here. But how? If I don't believe it I will fall straight down. I thought "I will do it I am AWESOME!" So I took a leap of faith, but it was a bumpy fly attempt, because I didn't really had control over it. And because of that I lost my lucidity immediately...[/COLOR] [COLOR="blue"]The dream continued and I crash landed on a hill and started to roll down in pain. Then my friends just stopped playing and looked at me with sad faces. I asked what's going on? And then I saw a newpaper with a picture of my mom and the headline said (I don't remember) but for some reason I realised that she was dead. So I started crying, but then the dream morhped into a tv-serie I can't even explain it because nothing maked sense. It was wierd.[/COLOR] [COLOR="silver"]I then woke up in my bed.. When I wrote this DJ entry I knew what alarm I were on, but while I was doing this I had no idea, so when I woke up I thought I had missed the 20 minute intervalls, so I tried to go back to sleep, but I just couldn't. And I gave up and looked at the timer and saw that I had slept through all the alarms, and the reason to that I became lucid was the phantom beep. But in the future I have to be more aware of what alarm I am on, and every time I get lucid I have to remember to stabilize.[/COLOR]

I was walking through a highschool i had never seen before. there was much to the dream and i was fairly aware without being lucid. I can remember walking down the halls with a really baggy sweater on. next to me was someone i had not spoken to much for around a year. in the pocket of the hoodie i pulled out a weird looking limited edition copy of GTA 4. I told my friend that the game was a classic and that it was always a good idea to keep on copy on yourslef. I then shoved it awkwardly back into the pocket although it came out quite easily. THen i went up a flight of stairs and started looking for the class i was supposed to be in. I was wondering around the second story hall when a teacher popped out of the door and called for me to get to class. i went inside and learned we had a large homework assignment due. i checked my papers and I had about one sheet of work done. My other friend who i have been in school with since middle school showed me his paper and it was about 5 double sided pages of line after line writing. I asked him if it took long and he said yes about 5 and a half hours. My teacher than came up too me and looked at my work. she told me it was ok since i missed a day ( I have type 1 diabetes and tend to miss quite a bit of school) and that i could hand it in tomorrow. I started to become worried that I would have to spend all those hours on something i didnt even know about really. I was freaking out for qutie awhile. I then woke up and was still concerned about that homework. I had to realize and convince myself briefly that i had jsut dreamt it all and that it was hte middle of the summer so no sweat. It was a weird experience when I woke up, but I had forgotten to take my night time shot of insulin and my blood sugar levels where about 5x too high, this makes me feel sick to my sthomach and have very short periods of sleep. Tonight my blood s ugars are back in control and i will attain lucidity!!!!! =D
Im in a giant tank of water but im not scared. it was quiet and lifeless. then I saw a light gleaming off of a beautiful girls body. After seeing her something in me just clicked. I was captivated and felt a very lucid surge of emotion and purpose(to swim to her). the closer I get the brighter everything gets. I wake up when I get close to her. notes: very stoned when I went to sleep.
Failed incubation all this weekend. Was taking me too long to fall asleep to keep anything up. Last night I was trying to picture myself at the pyramid beating a drum to attract other dreamers. Just mentioning that in case it had any effect, however unlikely. School Trip Recall: 7/10 Sleep: Good Sleep Position: UnknownI'm in class in high school, and my english teacher announces a class trip to somewhere tropical. Cool! They trip is in a couple of days. I later realize I don't have the money to go. I show up at school when everyone is leaving for the trip, and chew out my teachers for now giving us enough notice to raise the money, yelling at them. I don't like that they have a special event just for the rich kids. I see many other people can't afford to go either. Then I see Beaudoin, who hands me a couple of LSD tabs, which I take. I leave school and end up at a party. The party is hosted by some kid who's father is Iggy Pop. Iggy hand hands me nice chunk of weed after spreading honey oil all over it. I smoke it and it's really good. Plus my LSD is starting to kick in. I see myself in the mirror, and the LSD has caused my eyes to shrink. They are just tiny, way out of proportion to the size of my head. I wonder about them taking that LSD and going on the plane for the school trip. People must notice the tiny eyes! Fragment: Windy Swim I go swimming on the river. It;s a windy day, and the water is all choppy, but it's a cool spot with nice beaches and various rapids. Fragment: Exploring I'm exploring a little village by bike, looking for the river. I come to the area I think it should be, where someone points out a map on the wall to me. I can see the rivers I was looking for, 2 of them, just ahead on the map.
