I was in the middle of a dream when I heard a loud BANG, literally next to my ear as if someone slammed a door. Which is odd, because my appartment only has 2 swinging doors: my front door into the corridor, and my bedroom door. The rest are sliding doors that don't go *bang*. I don't even have a wardrobe, just shelves where my clothes live. I calmed myself down, and started hallucinating (I hallucinate outside of SP as well as in SP) and heard a little girl say "HEY!" in a cheerfully excited tone. I even smiled at this, it was so cute. I heard another little bang (from my boiler) and in a flash I saw a grey decayed wall, like a ruin. I felt the pre-SP vibrations and started to hear stuff, so I thought "Nope, not going into HH." so I said NO out loud and rolled over to my left side. Went into SP anyway, of course, lol, while lying on my side. 2 waves of vibrations later, I woke up in the dream Again, I didn't bother RCing. ..had I read Matte's new competition rules, I'd have done it, because it would have given me points XD
sun January 8th 2012 23:00-7:45 Nothing special, took abit longer to fall asleep though. I was house sitting for a friend of my parents and threw a big party. There was a DJ, booze and I think some people used the pool too. We divided the gang into 4 groups, each had to wrap a person into blue bubblewrap. I was the one being wrapped. I noticed all my friends were in other groups and I didn't know any of the people wrapping me in but one. A girl I haven't seen since primary school. So then the game started, but I'm not sure what the objective was. It had something to do with not getting caught by the other teams. At one point I'm thinking to go stand in the line to get a beer, but then I decided not to because they might attack from the back. I figured that was my team's job: to keep me "hydrated". But there was noone around I could spot (mainly because I didn't know any of them). Suddenly the situation changes when the owners get back. The place is messy, but I don't tell them about my party. I blame it on my sister while I'm cleaning up (I don't even have a sister, irl. RC noted).
Dream Recall is not a major problem for me and for some reason I'm very proud of that. I just follow the advice on this site by setting an alarm, drinking water, having a note taking device handy (laptop this time around) and tell myself over and over again I'll wake up and remember my dreams as I fall asleep. I'm 2 for 2 so far. Last night was the first time I tried this in over 2 1/2 years, I don't know why I've waited so long to come back to this, because it is fun. Here is my dream journal for last night: No LD's but I'm optomistic because 2 1/2 years ago I had a short LD the first time around and recorded over a dozen distinct dreams. This time no LDs but I have at least 8 distinct dreams but fewer details. I think I need to get to bed earlier and not sleep while it's light out still! lol Start of Dream Journal for Sunday January 8th 2012 6:30AM - Went to Bed - All dreams and writing sessions are written in backwards order last thing first, first thing last. Went to bed at 9:30AM Woke up myself at naturally!! and wrote the following: Dream about my Dad and Autumn (Sister) sharing stories about pupeteering. Autumn was telling me all about the different ways its done in some culture/place etc, while she was talking I saw the puppets/marrienettes were on a castle wall top and there was something peculiar about the situation they were in but I can't remember... Before that I was by the water (river/canal) with my grandparents (Mothers parents) and my Aunt Jenny and for some reason we had a small single person boat/sled type thing which was made of metal and painted white. My grandfather was afraid was going to get SCRATCHED UP. I almost jumped in the water, I felt really cold and warm sorta at same time as I ran around the place my grandmother was. I believe my grandmother was either sitting on a picnic table or gramma was sitting while holding the sled object (somebody else was there) Before this we had been all inside something like a car but it was not exactley a car, somebody other than me was driving and they drove towards the water and grampa got really upset because they drove so close to the water that the tires/something like tires/sled bottom went over the waters edge... 11:30am I was at autumn and dads living room wth Autumn/Elise Aunt Jen and somebody else we were laying on the couch in order from left to right Mom(or someone else) Elise/Autumn (changed to elise after a while) elise was taking pictures that made entire Pictures that had frames and many smaller shots under neath (when she took the picture of me at the end of the dream the framed picture just appeared above her hangiing in mid air)... Before this I was in a hospital of sorts and I was in an elevator after running from somebody... Before this I was with Sheldon(from Big Bang Theory) or my friend Scott, I'll just call this mystery person my friend in a house and we were talking about measures to take in case of a zombie attack or something along those lines. I went into a small place in the corner of the room we were talking in that was supposedly a way to get to the protected celler but I was in there and my friend was trying to get in there or something, I had a small camera in my hand I was trying to give to my friend but the opening between us was too small, there was a glass jar attached to the ceiling above me and I put the camera into it as if I could then screw it back to the wall and have my friend retrieve it from there. While I was doing this my friend was getting frustrated because it was obvious that this was not going to do anything practical, I was very amused by making this attempt but my friend was not (LOL)... At some point in my dreams there was a war of some sorts that I was part of but it was more like a video game, I was trying to destroy all these things that seemed humanoid, they were outside and I was running from them and also hiding and stalking them a little bit... 2:30PM I was at someones home and family was there with me and a child that I didn't know, there was an older woman sleeping in a bed and two people and myself were trying to get something off a table near her bed without waking her, when we were trying to do this the something we were getting started to make noise (it may have been a cassette deck that looked bigger much like a VHS tape) I started to pull out the magnetic tape when it started to make noise and tried to stop the tape from moving in a vain attempt to stop the noise and keep the woman from waking up by holding onto it tightly... ...I had a some sort of sex dream involving (edited) perhaps, it was not very detailed but supposedly it was (edited), very strange, never rememembered any sex dreams involving this person before. We were in some sort of shower room and I remember some sort of sex on the floor... After logging these dreams I stayed awake in bed Total Sleep approx 8 hours Gotta go to bed earlier!! With work on Monday 11:30AM to 8PM I should get to bed really shortly after writing this. Thanks for reading !! If you made it this far... hehe
I woke up in the middle of the night, felt like I was gonna go into SP, but the hallucinations started kicking in before I could prepare myself mentally so I just said "NO" and rolled over to my side. Of course, I still went into SP XD I felt I was in the dream, so I floated above my bed for a bit, and then thought "meh, I've got flying down as a skill, no point in doing it in here.." so I hovered back down and thought I'd open my eyes XD So I did. My room was pitch black (even blacker than it should be), so I walked out into my living room to find.. ..C!! FINALLY!! I got so happy I knew I had to do something to constrain my thrill (lest it wake me up), so I just kissed him. While I was kissing him I thought "YES I FINALLY SUMMONED HIM! I DID IT!!" ..and I turn around to see.. ..another C! The same man in my dream. Twice. So I did what any good girl would do and had a threesome, though I didn't get further than both Cs kissing me at the same time (and kissing each other while at it) before my dream collapsed. Short 'n sweet!
01/08/12 From School to Oblivion I am in school at Pima Community College, this is my first day back to class. I look around at the other students and find a sear where I wait for the instructor. The teacher comes in pretty soon, and I see he has a cart full of goodies with him! Lots of sweets. Cupcakes, cookies, donuts… there goes my diet! I decide to eat a limited amount of the treats. I pick a chocolate cupcake and start eating it. It is delicious. There doesn't seem to be an actual class, and I wonder if tuition is all going to pay for sweets… weird… I decide I had better leave before I pig out. I go to the door and open it, there is someone else about to come in. A large tentacle or vine or something erupts through his chest as he is standing there. He has the most puzzled look on his face… wtf?! I go around the dying man and see there is an Oblivion gate in the parking lot. There are scamps wandering around the gate and a huge vine like thing coming out of the gate, that is what killed the man. I find I have a sword… it formed from Witchblade. I cut the vine thing off and jump through the Oblivion gate, moving seamlessly from a non-lucid dream to believing I am in a virtual reality video game. I am in Oblivion now, and I look around to see what needs to be done. There is a massive gate closed between me and the main tower. I guess they expect me to walk around the long way to get there. I have the idea I don't have that much time. I go over to the gate and look at it closely. There are various places on the gate that make it look like I should be able to climb it. I wonder if this version of the game will allow that… so I start climbing. I get to the top with surprisingly little effort. I look down on the other side of the gate. My body feels lighter than normal… instead of taking this as a trigger to do a RC I decide it is because of the game. I fly down on the other side of the gate, immediately engaging two daedra in battle and killing them. I go into the main tower and look around, killing three scamps and a daedra I find there. There is a beam of fire shooting up the center of the tower. I don't have time to go the long way… I fly up the beam to the top. I am being fired at by scamps on the path around the outer edge of the tower. They can't hit the target. I get to the top and look at the sigil stone only briefly before grabbing hold of it… and waking up.
This dream is returning to a big shopping centre.... which I don't know. Fist I remember going there... through big entrance... Its a randomly shaped concrete building. I walk through to a upper floor and there are little stools where some indian and pakistani dudes sell various random stuff. I go to the first stool and recognise the guy (though I don't know him from the real life). He recognises me too and tells me that I bought my mattress from him some years ago. I am surprised that he remembers me. Suddenly I hold the mattress, telling him that its a good one, but that I have had it for long. I joke that I will leave it there.. as there is no space already. Then we leave the shop and start talking about programming websites. Suddenly Lukas V is there. He describes that when you buy some program for building websites, you can call them up to 500 times a month and they will help you with it.... I think about it and say that 500 times is a lot, but he disagrees. I say, that its a great job as you can do it wherever you want.. .in a coffee shop and so on.... he doesn't understand what I mean.... Then I am approaching the shopping centre again.... with some couple and a kid. As we are driving... I can see something like real size advertising of what london busses will look like in several years. The busses were tall and look fully electronic. THey had colours like student oyster card. I was quite amazed by that. We walk in and I talk to the woman and joke with the kid. I say that I like to shop in groceries department and stationary. We go to boots, but the woman is not too excited about it. we continue walking trying to entertain the child. Then Peter O is there. I have some egyptian states that were broken and I had to glue them together. Peter is up to something and puts the statues to certain place in a little room. Everything starts shaking and the floor opens. The starts start cracking. I have a feeling that he messed up by this. It feels that he was doing some black magic trick to sort out his financial situation.... as if it was supposed to open some treasure... but it is not happening... I feel like he fucked up even more. Then I am leaving my house to go to work. I go to a bus stop, that is near the round bound near the telco. I am saying bye to some people in the house... I think that they were the people from my previous dreams.... and I walk to the bus stop... When I am almost there I just check my pockets if I have everything and realise that I don't have my valet... so I run back ... thinking shit.. good that I realised now and not at the bus stop.....
This was more of a fragment than anything else, but I recall a few details. There was a community that I was living in, and started talking with a few of the neighbors. They were an old couple and reminisced about when they first moved to this asteroid colony that we resided on. The said that before some overpass they built, there was an underground road populated with businesses that led to the residential sector. However, once that overpass was built, the businesses closed up and became it became a black market. After that story, I decided to go investigate myself, but I forgot what I found. The place was built in what looked like an abandoned mineshaft that went far down. But that's where my recall ends. In another dream I remember making breakfast. I was cooking bacon, eggs, and pancakes. I remember that I burnt the bacon, and undercooked both the eggs and pancakes and was met with extreme disappointment from myself and my family. I'm certainly enjoying my dreams more than anything else. I think dreams like these are always a nice highlight of the night even if they are only fragments. Happy Dreaming!

After 13 days from trying to lucid dream/ the start of my dream journal I had my first lucid. Was on the 13th December 2011. Me and my brother (he is my twin but doesn't look like me) are driving back from town. He is driving mums car which he normally wouldn't be doing because he only has his learners and mum wasn't there. For some reason I ask to be let out so I can walk. I walk for a while and somehow my brother is behind me even though he dropped me off and carried on driving. But he drives past so I wave at him to stop for a ride. I see someone else in the front passenger seat who I think is my brothers friend called Liam. When I get back in I realize it is a dream because he shouldn't be driving and how did liam get there? I almost lose the dream and was going to try to fly, but I think I spin around while sitting in the back seat somehow and then im back in the back seat of the car. (Im very excited and can feel my heart pumping fast) I say to my brother "you know this is a dream right?" the whole time im smiling because IM DREAMING and it feels so weird. He turns around and says " no it's not". This confirms to me it is a dream because he's not even looking where he's driving and also I've heard dream characters deny that its a dream when you tell them. I also tell liam but he also refuses. We stop outside our house but then start driving. There were some magicians on the side of the road ,one was holding a top hat looking like he was gonna pull a bunny out. I see our cat in several places, first on our property then down the road as we're driving. I want to test my control on the dream so I say to my brother that I want to drive. He says no so I "think myself" into the drivers seat and it works. Liam and my brother somehow both are in the backseat now. I go down the big hill after the dairy and up the other side. Someone yells "Lets Go!" and I wake up.

Blank...
This dream has nothing to do with Damascus. I dreamt it four nights ago, on the morning of the 5th, so it might be inaccurate by now. Weird, I seem to remember a dream every 9 days, but maybe that will change. We were told to be prepared. Prepared that is, for a haunted house of some sort, that had been very scary to its previous visitors. It was a building created sometime in the late eighteenth century, sometime around 1770. We prepared to descend into the narrow steps. I was in a group of about a dozen or more people. It was somewhat dark in the room, but there was a bright light from nowhere. Somewhat resembled one of my friends' houses' basements, but that must have been a facade of the actual memory, because it really wasn't like that at all. A picture of someone hung on the room, and it was frightening to enter and to look at--the picture resembled Abraham Lincoln, but that must be yet another facade. As we entered, we expected everything from spooky noises to whatever you expect from ghosts. But a few seconds in, I discovered it wasn't scary at all. The entire dream fragment lasted maybe one or two minutes, and yet few of the details are still remembered. As I woke up, it was morning, and my family was talking very loudly about a now-familiar topic: ghosts.
Well, last night i tried a couple different times to do WILD and once again, i did not fully succeed. Although, i did have MANY different dreams that were quiet..wierd. I dreamed 1st that i was some kind of journalist sent to Iraq to take pictures and saw alot of action. When i returned home, my wife was worried that i was never going to be her husband again..then something about seeing a friend on some sort of tv show or movie or something..Finally, this morning when it was time to get up and go to work, i closed my eyes and was having HG images and sounds! I was so excited and aggrivated at the same time because i knew i had to get up and couldnt expirement with it at that time or i would be late for work. I have been doing reality checks all day today and trying to prepare myself for tonight..i am hopeful that my ability to test a couple different methods every night will increase my chances. (WILD, DILD)
Weirdness sex at my house (FRAG) I was hurried....and i'm too lazy to piece this together more coherently one friend snuch into my house asian we were making out and having good time i see my bag of consdoms and i'm all should i get that then she's laughing and all giggly and eventually says yes but she has to get ready first so i leave my room check on mom she's in the kitchen cooking crazy shit conch cshell and other strange things I'm trying to make sre mom doesn't look down the hallway to my room by making convo I see the girl coming down the hall and i'm trying to wave her away but she keeps coming finally she passes me and my om sees her but its not my girl itts another that i don't recognize my mom does though and epxplains it to me i'm like oh then we go back to stove i'm all xmas is over you shold stop cooking she was slightly mad about that blah blah i' try to get back to my room but i was too excited
I had a lucid where I was flying in a foresty landscape of hills with a road and some sparse buildings, a lot like my environment in RL. I was only about 15 meters high and could barely see past the horizon on the top of the closest hills, but they were still fairly far away and I could see them vividly. I wanted to fly higher to get a vaster view of the landscape, but when I attempted it seemed that I didn't have very much control over where I flew. I managed to fly a little higher and toward a position relative to two close hills that gave a view of an opening between them of more distant hills. While I was dreaming I kept thinking that maybe I wasn't able to get the vast view I wanted because I haven't seen it in RL yet, and that maybe I could only vividly imagine what I'm used to actually seeing. Maybe that thought hampered the possibility.

Poor recall continues, but at least I've managed to recall something every single night this year so far. But we have plenty of dreams to look into in the meanwhile from the past three years, so I'll continue with those. This one's very basic though. Just a General Lucid Date: May 23rd, 2009 Lucid: Yes Method: DILD I attained lucidity after WBTB by making a reality check after noticing something was off. I was outside and it was winter. My brother was laying in the snow and I threatened to give him a snow bath. I didn't do it though. I looked inside through a big window in our house. There were some weird duded. They made the peace gesture with their fingers. I answered back with my hand, then turned it into \,,/ and then reversed the peace gesture into something less cordial. The dream was fading though. I tried to spin to restabilize it, but it didn't work. Then I tried throwing myself into the ground back first. Boom! That worked and the dream got clear again. Crystal clear, should I say. It was still dark and wintery. I went inside the house and it seemed like there was somekind of party or celebration going on. I presumed it was Christmas, but didn't delve into it any further, as I remember the challenge - as in the monthly lucid dreaming challenge in my own forum. It was to get my hands to one of my friends, Niko and ask him something. I relied on the passive control to make him appear. I started shouting "Niko are you there?" to the toilet. "Yeah, I'm here", my brother answered sarcastically. Somehow he had managed already to get in. "Have you seen Niko?" I asked, but I was given no answer. I kept going and trusted that he is bound to appear if I keep up. Finally I found Niko near our shower. He seemed unnaturally happy. I went right into it. "As you remember Niko, there's the challenge in our forum. So could you tell me some kind of advice for life or something." I don't remember the exact answer, but the message was, that "if you do something, do it right." "YOU BETTER CRAM IT SO YOU DON'T FORGET IT", Niko advised then, shouting manically. I went it through once in my head before moving on. Now that the challenge was out of the way I decided to find out what day it was in the dream. I went to kitchen and asked my mom. She seemed tense, but finally answered to me: 5th of June 2010. What? It is summer? Then why is it so dark and why is there winter outside? There was no signs of dream fading, but I wasn't used to dreams lasting so long. So I decided to stabilize it further just in case. I touched all kinds of surfaces and then found some bottle on the floor. I picked it up and took a sip. Eww, it tasted bad! Finally I realized that just wandering around in the home isn't exactly what I want to do in a lucid dream. I can do it enough in the waking life as it is. I went outside, started running and then just leaped off the ground. It was awesome. Gravity was in effect, but I could do long and high jumps, much higher than the treetops. But by the time I dropped I had exited my body and I was losing my lucidity as well. No I was instead playing some game where the character flies with a hang glider. Soon he hit the ground and was surrounded by enemies. He was filled with arrows. I then woke up from my game death in front of some kind of firing squad. I told the guy next to me that I'm not going out without a fight. I moved my hand to my sword. What, I had a sword now? It turned out to be duel to the death. I was up against some kind of... maintenance guy. What the hell is up with these dudes? He seemed kind of tough, but I just told him to go fix a lamppost. The fight never commenced - I woke up before that
I was lucid... I think, and I did something, but I can't remember. I'm pretty sure I woke up from excitement.
