09/28/13 I had more than 5 LDs this night, but they were all basic low grade stuff. "Oh hey, I am dreaming. Can I float, yep sure enough. Look a pretty girl..." and so on. Just short flashes of lucidity. I did have one that was more interesting, although it was only perhaps 3 or 4 minutes in duration. It was full of good graphics and a high level of cognition. Todd was there and I realized I was dreaming, as he is one of my dream signs. I talked with him about what should I do to work on my skills. I remembered that I want to do the "3 mystical places" challenge of my advanced task thread, I listed what that would involve. I just somehow felt this LD was not going to last that long. I said out loud to the Todd DC that I should attempt to get to some place basic but uncommon with some interesting geometric shape, as practice for when I had more time. I thought of a baseball diamond, with all the players and such. OK, I would simply attempt to reach a live baseball game, and call it good for now. We walked through a hotel lobby and I decided to just do the old ask a DC trick. I asked a random DC how to get to the baseball game. He told me it was just down that corridor and out the door. We took off that way and entered a garden area like many hotels have. A full baseball game was taking place on a piece of lawn that was 90% surrounded by water. I went across the strip of land and seated myself in the teams box. I just screwed around a bit after that and did not bother to really recall any of it.
> I dreamed of a movie (An actual in life movie) that was about a man who designed things. At the moment I don't know the title of it. > I was on a porch and people including children and my next-door neighbor put electrical wires around the area including through a place where plants are in real life that you can't walk through as it is now, But it was clear in the dream. Then later my neighbor showed me that I should step or jump over the electrical cords or I'd be electrocuted and I recall jumping over them and feeling as if I was jumping. I later went in the house to tell my parents about the cords and I thought about the basement.
I was at the local skate park in my home town. I was with a few people and we were building an extra ramp.We left the skate park not long after. My local skate park. I decided to come back with Kayley, and continue what we started off. I noticed a table top in front of me that was made out of timber. I think it was something we had worked on earlier. I looked into the distance and saw a group of people, only to recognise a few of them. They were just standing there, looking at us. I waved them over I think. Eventually the group of people made there way over to us. I was talking to Pete R about what was happening. He's friend Bryce Gibbs (AFL Player) had did a mono and accidentally bumped into Pete. Pete kind of gave him the look of WTF. Pete Radivo (somewhat famous BMX rider) - Bryce Gibbs (Australian Rules Football Player) I was going to start finishing off a few things on a ramp we were building earlier, but made sure I didn't leave anything around the skate park to be taken without me knowing. I noticed I had left a few tennis racquets under a chair? I made my way towards, where the community centre was in real life, but it wasn't there in my dream. I walked up onto the platform leading to where we were building earlier. It was a long narrow hallway looking obstacle. I proceeded to walk to the end with Kayley. I was looking around to what I could do. I saw pieces of timber laying on top of the nailed down timber, so I was trying to move that out of the way before continuing. I realised that I didn't really have the right sized nails to use to hammer into the timber, only a couple were the perfect size. I saw a scene of where I was looking at nail gun nails? I saw a black man coming our way, he looked South African. I showed him what we were doing here. Someone had pushed the wall at the far end down, as if they were doing what happened in the movie ''What Dreams May Come'', where Cuba Gooding. Jr had pushed the wall down, showing Robin Williams a new world (I had watched this movie last night for the first time). I was looking around and noticed that we were building in between 2 house fences, which gave us about 5 metres in width to work with. I saw houses in the distance that I've never seen before. I saw an old lady come over from next door. I started to feel a little bad, thinking I may be building on part of her property. She began to start mowing the lawn where we were building. She reached the area where there was a platform, and she tried lifting the lawn mower on top of it. I offered her a hand with lifting the lawn mower, as she was struggling a bit. She didn't want any help. I had a good look at her, and she had an unreal amount of muscle on her for a older women. I looked at her T-shirt she was wearing, it was white with 3 layers of photos on it, 1 under another. I knew the 3 people that were in the photos but only remember 2, which was Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) in 2 of the pics. DJ was inside a wrestling/boxing ring in both of his photos. 1 of his photos he had longer hair, compared to the other. I could now see a scene in my head of the picture, but it formed into a full blown moving scene. DJ was fighting Mixed Martial Arts against someone. He was doing very well at the start of the fight, getting some good shots in. The tide turned when his opponent gave him some punishing shot back. The strikes were pin point, one after another. DJ was all over the shop, he was on the verge of getting knocked out, but showed great heart to stay on his feet. The ref (Big John McCarthy, MMA Ref) had a look at DJ closely, and noticed that the lights were on but no one was home, and stopped the fight, he thought he had taken enough punishment and saved him any unnecessary shots. Dwayne Johnson (The Rock Wrestler, Actor) I heard someone mention that a mod or member from Dream Views had chosen to see a movie (Harry Potter) over an important meeting or something, regarding dream view staff. They had mentioned that he really wanted to do a certain thing in his next lucid dream, that happened in the movie. I could see a scene of what exactly he was intending to do. There was a cartoon looking character (similar to a character in angry birds), it was shooting itself out of a cloud into another cloud across the sky. It was continuing this process, from cloud to cloud. Someone said that this is where he stuffs up. The cartoon character was losing momentum and was on the decline. Angry Bird I had a brief moment when I was thinking about morphing myself into a character or a body part (something like that..) to surprise the people I was with. I started to feel as if I was wasting my time with the building. Nothing was really getting done. I said to Kayley that we should just pack it up for the day. She looked at me with disbelief, which made me re-think about what I should do. I think I continued, until I woke up. Side Notes: I tried to DEILD when my alarms would go off but I kept swallowing and focusing on it too often.
I have been practicing a mix between ADA and SAT throughout the day, increasing my general awareness. I did a WBTB, taking a short nap around 10-11pm, and then went to sleep at about 12:30am. As i fell asleep i used the mantra,"I am constantly aware of my surroundings." I caught a false awakening. It seems lucky to me. I normally use the nose plug RC but I also remember inspecting my phone and watch. I was unsure I was dreaming at first, i wasn't very lucid, but a routine RC caught it. I lost the dream due to excitement. After I had ANOTHER false awakening, that's right back to back FA's. In the FA I was writing in my DJ, I keep a pocket book beneath my pillow.
I will be using my DJ here to explain how i induced lucidity on lucid dreams I have. Sorry, but my dream content is personal. Combo of WTBT/MILD/DILD I went to sleep after staying up for about 80 minutes from waking up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. I did homework and some reading. I then used a mantra as I fell asleep. When in my dream I realized I was dreaming by noticing something in the scenery was off. Can't remember what it was.
