Wed 20 June 2012 Dream 1; scene setting/thoughts non-dream lucid I was walking up the stairs in my house. I was walking the stairs, the top half. I felt a strong attraction towards the toilet, as I got closer I saw myself (So it seemed) having a pee, naked. I could only see the back so I walked into my bedroom then woke up.
I am walking through a French McDonald's with Prince Albert. The restaurant doesn't seem to be operating as normal but has been converted to a military headquarters, with a large room in back where the prince receives updates from the battleground. The windows in the back room are covered with netting, though someone in the group figures out a way to open one. There's also a large jet parked in the room.
I was wish my wife. She and her friends were dressed like power rangers. I forgot my costume. I ask why she didn't say anything because I just went home to change and now I have to go back. Conversation about this Guy who was trying to have a baby with his girlfriend when he was 15. I asked was this with my wife? All together was a resounding NOOOOOO! I believed them because I knew better anyway.
Date: 20/06/2012 Place: My holiday caravan Time of getting into bed: midnight exactly I took 100mg B6 tablet before bed Dream 1 - Non Lucid dream I didn't notice any effect from the B6, but will continue to take it. When waking, it was so dark I used my phone to find my pen, I then noted the time was 2.57am My notes are sparse (I was VERY tired) I am at a music festival. 2 of my closest friends are there, as is my little sister. I know I am educating my sister on something, but my notes are random words and unreadable so I can't remember what it was. Suddenly me and my partner are walking down a street, and along comes a polar bear. I am not sure if this is the same dream, or a new one - but my notes say this is the same dream (I divide dreams with lines across the page) so... The polar bear wants to have his photo taken with us, and the two middle aged woman who are also walking down the street in the same direction. They are getting out their camera, when my partner dives in for a quick photo. The polar bear lays on a bench, in a cheesy pose, my partner smiling and thumbs up next to it. After that we walk off fast. I am giggling and walking fast because I know the bear will want money for having his photo taken with us, but leave the 2 woman to pay. I hear one of the woman shouting angrily after us, 'Don't run off, come and pay! That's cheeky!' The polar bear catches up and I think 'oh well, nice try' I am fumbling to get my wallet from my trousers, and while I do so I talk to the bear, who is now a human dressed up in a bear costume. (Like what you find in theme parks etc) I ask him how he is, etc - making small talk. I'm laughing and joking, a little cocky I think. We eventually arrive back at his place, where I discover he is simply a young lad, probably in his mid teens. I ask him weather he gets free food with his job, and he says he gets vouchers for a certain amount which he cashes in at the stalls. (So I am clearly still at a music festival) I express he gets paid too low for what he does and the dream ends. Dream 2 - Non Lucid dream I have simply written in my notes; LOST DREAM. I guess I couldn't remember it. I have an image stood in a room filled with junk... Dream 3 - Non Lucid dream I have managed to get tickets to an outdoor music festival... (I'm noticing a pattern here!) I am happy because the tickets were hard to get. there is a big ring in a field full of tents, and a stage to the side. It is very busy and lots of people. While I am sat at my tent, a friend's boyfriend walks by and says hi - we converse for a bit (maybe my friend was there also, but I don't remember seeing her) and then he leaves. For some reason I now have big, green, dragon-like wings. I can use these to fly, although not by much. I like my wings. We go to the stage to watch a band, it is VERY busy with loads of people gathered and squashed up, but I love this. I dive right in and use my wings to get to the front, where I rock out for a bit. Dream 4 - Non Lucid dream I have moved into a new house, which is actually quite nice. I have moved in with an old friend (non sexual, just splitting the rent) and we are quite happy about this arrangement. There is a knock at the door, and it is his ex girlfriend, who he split up with in a bad way last year. She has changed a bit, and since it has been a while he decides to forget about the past and invites her in. I don't complain but I do not like her. I actually pretend that I don't know who she is. She sort of does the same. We make small talk and drink tea etc, but then she starts acting like her old self again, going through my belongings, I believe she is stealing stuff. She also sprays paint on one of my windows, and I tell her off harshly, claiming that it takes me ages to clean. I scrape the paint off but she keeps doing it so I get angry. She then starts graffitting the walls, I get really mad and try and throw her out, she resists (not in an angry way, in a 'i'm the victim here' way) and I insist. Eventually my friend talks to her and she calms down, but then I find her going through my things again. My friend agrees to take her home and they leave. Before she leaves we do let each other know that we are aware of who each other is (as we were pretending not to know each other) When they are gone, I get a call from the friend who is lost, I use my GPS / sat nav thingy to direct him to a kids toy store. Dream 5 - Non Lucid dream I am yet again, at a music gig. I am waiting for Steel Panther to come on, having rushed there to see them. Guns n Roses are just finishing and I dance around like a loony with some friends. Slash jumps off stage and starts playing his guitar next to us. We appear to be the only ones at the gig, so all the attention is focused on us. Axl Rose then jumps off stage, and starts singing in my face, I respond by singing back, or screaming the words back at him - genuinely happy and psyched up! My DJ notes say: 'Good feeling' and I have drawn a little smiley face ***NOTEWORTHY*** Upon writing the last dream it occurred to me that MUSIC FESTIVALS / CONCERTS are in a LOT of my dreams. This could be my dream sign! Yay! Writing down the time was a good idea, will try and do it more often The bands in the last dream are both bands I like, and have seen in concert I was reading about flying in lucid dreams during the day, hence the wings in my dream? My friend who I moved in with in my dream, really does have a psycho ex girlfriend.
Dreamed I was on a 2 month trial enlistment into the Navy. I was stationed on an air craft carrier, CV-47 USS Philippine Sea. For some reason I was riding a motorcycle through the interior of the ship, then I was standing on the bow like the movie titanic as we sailed down a local river.
-WBTB WILD Got SP and waited for the vibrations and stuff to go away. Sat up in my bed and did a nose plug RC, it worked but again my nose felt stuffy so it was weird. I then looked at my hands and saw that I had 6 fingers and I kept staring at them laughing cause it was funny. I walked out to my hallway and suddenly realized I had to pee really bad so without really thinking I went to the bathroom and started to go. Just then I realized that usually if you pee in a dream, you pee in real life so I got scared I was gonna pee my bed and forced my self to wake up. Thankfully I did it in time and my sheets were dry, but I did really have to use the washroom. Next time I'll take a pee when i wake up for the WBTB, cause it was kind of a waste of a dream haha.
fragment shared dream Possible a reocuring someone( I know who just wish to not say) came to me and was camping in a travel trailer near a cliff there was a group of red cloaked stalkers watching him.He broke down about people always wanting to know his every move . I said you will always be family at my house . thats all i remember I had been wanting to say this the past few visits he shows up from time to time I think during his stress parts of his life.He has sad eyes and seems like he just needs a hug . I suspect hes a real person sharing a dream with me and I dont mind .He has never been intrusive . and I have never entered his dreams he always enters mine with my permission of course . If I ever meet him face to face it will take every thing i have got not to just hug the guy ,but i wouldnt want to be one of the creepy red cloak people
I am going to the petrol pump and I am asking him to fill for 400. He is filling for 200. I am telling him, to fill for another 200, while he is doing so, I give him 500Rs. He is inspecting the note and I am taking care of the filling. I am filling for an extra 50Rs. As I am leaving, the police is showing his hand and gesturing me to stop. I push the throttle but the bike is not going as fast as I want it to. The policeman is running and chasing me and is cluthing on to the left handle bar. I am swerving to the right to Royal Bakery. I am regaining my balance and I am going and the policeman is saying I just want a lift. I am telling him I am taking the next right. He said fine and let go. I go home and my sister is telling me my mom schemed someone. I am telling her that even I schemed the petrol bunk guy.
I dreampt that I had sex with one of my ex girlfriends lorielle. I dont know why, but at the time it was intense and i really enjoyed it. I wont date her again though.. lol.
dream : comments : lucid 21st of June, 2012 My recall's been really bad lately, for some reason. This is a tiny almost lucid I had this morning. I was with Nooks and some other people in a forested hill area. It was winter and the trees had mostly lost their leaves. I realised that there was a UFO following the people, who began to run away together. I said to Nooks that it would make much more sense if they split up; that way it couldn't follow them both... but it'd be gay as Hell to be the one that it DID follow. Somehow it came to pass that Nooks and I were the ones that were being followed so we began running through the trees trying to avoid this thing and its spotlight. It was really quite horrifying. We ran for a while trying to lose it and find cover before coming across a river with huge frozen walls. Like that, but without the glacier on top-just more hill. Anyway, we tried to hide in the crevices and hoped that the cold water would lower our body temperatures so they couldn't detect us. Nooks started singing at that point though, so I put my hand over her mouth to shut her up. Too late. Aliens began to abseil out of this thing (it was basically a helicopter, apparently) so we bolted while we had the chance, swimming as hard as we could to reach the bank. We ran like that for some time and eventually found ourselves near people in a large...complex of some sort. Kind of like a school/outdoor shopping mall. I looked back to see the 'alien' (read: random dude) chasing us at like 50km/h so we stepped up the pace and were running absurdly quickly. At that point we were on an indoor oval and began jumping really far to try and escape. I turned to Nooks and said "Don't worry Nooks, this is obviously just a dream now!" and kept jumping, wondering what to do next. I'd been asleep for a while though so as soon as I realised I was dreaming I woke up. Should've stabilised or something. Ah well, still appears my dream recognition is improving.
I had another dream about someone standing by a basketball hoop near a street light only it was a women this time. thats all i remember about that one. the next dream I had started I was walking along a dirt road and came upon a farm and they sold animals like a pet store. I remember seeing the gerbil and some mice in a little cage. The next thing I know I have a car and money because I'm going back to this huge open pet store and I stop at the hamsters and buy 2 for my daughter brooke. I remember giving the lady 2 5 dollar bills and that wasnt enough I had to give her 2 more 5 dollar bills and got some change back. Then the next thing I know me and this girl I used to work with are in this car together and she asks me where we are going. I told her we were going into town to get her some stuff.(she was a drug addict irl) she said she didnt need any she wanted me to go smoke some of the stuff she had with her I told her I didnt want to. I remember being worried cuz I didnt want to do any drugs. Then I woke up. Had 1 more dream its was really vivid it was about some girl, I know it was vivid because I could see her brown hair and I could tell she was very pretty but we were just talking for a short time thats all I remember.

<NON-LUCID DREAM FRAGMENT> ______________________________________ Everyone has those confusing dreams or dream fragments. Today I've had one of those and once again forgot to do a reality check, which is frustrating. Anyways, i was in Paris or France. I could tell cause of how the people dressed and the buildings as well. But the confusing part is when i am in the middle of the road and the world starts to tilt sideways and i fall to the very end of the road... which seems to be a wooden hotel room blocking the road, and an open window. Anyways the road becomes a wall, the hotel room becomes a floor and the window is the hole in the floor and if i fall through that whole, well i fall into space or wherever else. And there's beds in all hotel rooms right? Well this French mime is sleeping in the bed and is waken up by the chaos. Well he looks at me and -Facepalms-... which is when i start screaming. now that i think about it, it's a funny dream kind of but still very confusing and weird. Also i remember this guy walking up to me and saying " everything's upside down in Paris" some time in the dream... i think maybe when i was standing in the middle of the road. < END OF DREAM>
COPIED Introduction A warning: this is going to be long. most importantly this is not supposed to be any attack or negative criticism of the hard work that goes into the invention and writing of lucid dreaming techniques and guides This forum is full of threads started by beginners stating that whatever technique they are using just isn’t working for them. To answer the question of exactly why lucid dreaming is difficult we have to consider that to become lucid you are rebelling against a lifetime of conditioning, and a vast amount of mental information, that has programmed you to be unaware and non-lucid in your dreams. While on a conscious level you may be enthused, excited, and fired up for lucid dreaming on your first night, as far as your unconscious is concerned lucidity is a completely foreign concept. You simply haven’t built the bridges and forged the neural connections in your unconscious that say that you are a lucid dreamer. While this process can be bypassed to some degree through phenomena of auto and hypnotic suggestion (which are designed to feed information directly into the unconscious mind), for the majority of techniques, and the majority of people, becoming a ‘natural’ lucid dreamer is a matter of time and hard work. Time and work is necessary to replace the neural circuitry of a non-lucid dreamer, some succeed, most fail. Any technique can yield lucidity on a regular basis, all that matters is mindset Through experimentation with a wide range of DILD techniques, as well as looking at the effects of beliefs, confidence and intention on lucid dreaming, I have come to the conclusion that: either Any technique has the potential to yield lucid dreaming on a nightly basis over time, all that is important is the dreamer’s mindset and, above all, self-belief or Technique is entirely irrelevant and unnecessary when compared to the importance of the dreamer’s intent and lucid dreaming mindset To explain why I believe this I’m going to explore the idea of ‘method’. For any lucid dreaming technique to be truly a method it has to be a) valid and b) reliable. No lucid dreaming technique is either of these things. Validity is the degree to which an output is caused by an input, in this case the output is lucidity and the input is any technique (say, ADA). I you practice ADA and you have a lucid dream, was it caused by that technique? You may think so, but the next day you practice ADA and hey wait a second, no lucid dream, what’s going on? You’ve replicated the same input (ADA) and yet the output (lucidity) is different, in other words the technique is not reliable. In a lab if you react oxygen and hydrogen you will always get hydrogen oxide, water. But as we all know from bitter experience, lucid dreaming is nowhere near as clear cut. Intention There must be some other cause, some other variable, outside of the technique that caused lucidity the first time and was absent the second time. Intent. The word intent comes from the Latin root ‘intendere’ which means to ‘stretch toward’ or ‘aim at’. As dreamers we intend, we stretch our will toward the goal of lucidity, a technique is a vehicle for this intent. Silverbullet has written an excellent (if vague) guide to directing intent towards the goal of lucid dreaming: http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/silver...eaming-117015/, but because he kinda didn’t explain intent too well there was a hostile reaction from some towards what was seen as an attempt to attack the hard work of lucid dreamers out there who had worked to write the various tutorials on the site and so it has slipped into relative obscurity. The message behind it was important, lucid dreaming isn’t about any technique, it’s about you, as an individual. In the ‘Art of Dreaming’ by Carlos Casteneda Don Juan explains that intent is how ‘sorcerers’ ‘do without doing’. That’s one way of putting it, but I believe intent is the active process by which we form the unconscious mindset, the neural connections, (that I mentioned earlier) of being a lucid dreamer. Techniques are vehicles for intent, our conscious mind needs to attach our attempts at lucid dreaming to some concrete process in order for our unconscious mind to get on with the important work of intending. That is why I am not saying to abandon technique or that technique is bad, some people can intend without a technique but the vast majority of us need some vector through which to channel our intent. What’s important though is that you realise that any technique at all can be this vehicle, all the you need is to realise that it is you doing the lucid dreaming, not the technique. The reason we get stuck in ruts, dry spells, there are a number of reasons that we may not lucid dream on any given night (alcohol, fatigue, stress), but what causes you to become lucid? It’s certainly not 10 RCs each day, it’s how those RCs direct your intention. Making lucid dreaming about YOU again Review your early goals, we all make the most ambitious and exciting goals when we first learn of the possibilities of lucid dreaming, recapture that excitement. Repeat to yourself a simple affirmation, make it present tense and positive, ‘I am a natural lucid dreamer’, really feel the meaning behind the words, so that get that excited feeling in your stomach. Meditate, meditation is a great tool to connect with your inner mental strength and renewing self-confidence. It can also give you access to states at which your unconscious mind is open to suggestion. See Also: This should be required viewing: Advanced lucid dreaming: part 6 - YouTube although it’s nominally about meditation, the real message behind is to put faith in yourself, not techniques http://www.dreamviews.com/f11/how-ta...eaming-120910/
<NON-LUCID DREAM> _________________________ A few days ago i had a series of dreams but i made the mistake of writing only one down, the dream about a Sheriff. Of course it's way back in time when they used to have shoot outs. It was an old western town with little to no people at all besides The Sheriff and his girlfriend sitting outside a bar talking and smiling then exchanging a kiss. I couldn't hear what they were talking about cause i wasn't a character in the dream, i was only an invisible observer with no body. The sheriff looks over to these mountains behind the girl he's kissing with a suspicious look on his eyes. Out of nowhere these outlaws start shooting at the Sheriff, probably cause they have beef with him or something. The Sheriff yells for his girlfriend to run in the bar for safety. After she runs away the sheriff takes cover and shoots back, he manages to shoot and kill about 2 outlaws, there's only one left. He runs to the mountains and tries to search for the outlaw... but the mountain the outlaw was shooting from was high and steep and very dusty. ( Now is when somehow i see what the sheriff sees, almost like i am the sheriff. ) Anyways the sheriff decides to climb it, but the orange mountain is so dusty and dirt flies everywhere. but the sheriff closes his eyes so the dust won't blind him. He finally reaches the top nearly, but he hangs on to the cliff from where the outlaw shot. He looks up to find the outlaw, dressed in a black cowboy hat, brown vest and blue shirt... staring at him from right above. The outlaw lowers his gun to the sheriff , the sheriff speechless and paralyzed with fear though his facial expression is emotionless. The sound of a gun shot and everything goes black. <End Of Dream>
I knew it was time for a nap so I shut off the game that has been keeping me up at night and laid down on the couch. Everytime I lay down for a nap during the day I'm always reminded of becoming lucid in my sleep. If I keep it up, I could really get the hang of it. Anyway, I shut my eyes and it really didn't take long before I felt that occasional buzz in my head (you know, that strange vibration as you're falling asleep, usually when your body is falling faster than you). At first, and since I was intending to lucid dream, I tried to rush it a bit. The hypnogogia was crazy intense. In fact, I'm not sure if what I"ve had before was even hypnogogia before now. I remember seeing skylines and something else I can't recall. I remember something brief about my video game. I was creating a sim but it was so faded, the picture, that I couldn't see it. I began saying to myself that I was lucid and I was dreaming and it did seem to help, but then I said enhance and it acted like it was going to for a second, but it was too soon. I realized it was too soon and that I needed to ride the hypnogogia out a bit longer before I could dream. I brought myself back to my waking state for a few minutes. I sort of scolded myself for letting my mind wander to the game. What a waste. I closed my eyes again and thankfully, within seconds I got the vibrations back quick. I tried to be more patient the next time. I started to get that hypnogogia back again but then I started hallucinating voices. I was hearing my son and it sounded like he was getting up. I should've known it was my mind tricking me because I forced myself awake to check and see if he was up. (It can be hard to do this kind of thing with a kid in the house, I'm always afraid I won't hear him and something will happen). Awake again, I assured myself I would hear him if he really got up and closed my eyes again. This time, I snapped right back into the vibration/hypnogogia state. I began my mantra again "I am lucid. I am dreaming" and it started sounding like I was whispering into a microphone. It almost sounded like one of those self improvement mp3s with voice suggestion. I kept repeating my mantra. Then I started to hear a man's voice. I was going through so many thoughts following this point, so I hope this makes sense. I was still repeating my words, but his voice cut in and said, "Just give me five minutes of your time." My eyes are watering right now because, I don't know, I felt like someone was truly trying to tell me something. His voice was old and at first, he sounded like Stephen LaBerge, but then I thought maybe, just maybe, this was God. Finally speaking to me. Right after he spoke and I realized it might be divine, I got images. I can very scarcely remember them, unfortunately, because at the same time I got the pictures, a Tool song started. It was clear as day. Eyes are watering again. I was in such shock. Maynard began to sing. I cannot! For the life! of me! think of what song it was. Maybe it'll come to me later. The lyrics, of course, were changed though. They were speaking directly to me. He sang maybe two or three verses before I woke up. I heard every word, but I can now only remember two: Regression, and annoying. I understood it then, and I still feel like I understand it now, but no longer in word form, only the feeling I got from it. God, I tried so hard to get back there again, but my son DID wake up. And I had gotten too excited that I couldn't fall asleep again. I remember as the song started that I was thinking, shit, I need to write this down, but I can't leave?! I think that's why I only caught three verses and woke up. IT was an amazing experience, even as short as it was. This journal entry doesn't even give it justice and I really didn't even want to type it in here, but I felt like I needed to. From now on, I will take naps during the day as soon as the kid's asleep. If my subconscious is finally going to come forward and talk to me, I need to be there, because I truly am one screwed up little girl in my head...
