To bed at 10pm

4:00am Car Inappropriate Naming:

My mum and stepfather and my husband and I and our boys were on vacation somewhere and had three cars with us out of some reason, and all three were in a shop getting repaired. I was going to pick the first of them up to see if it was fixed, and then we were going to pick up the other ones soon. I had the sense that our vacation was ending.

Out of some reason my mum jokingly referred to the car I was picking up using my stepmother's name. It bothered me, but I said nothing at first. Then I thought about it, and thought I better explain that it bothered me, but how to phrase it without overreacting and not being mean to my mom? I wound up saying "If you have to nickname a car after my stepmother, could it be somebody else's car? It bothered me when you referred to my car using her name." My mother was apologetic, and I was not sure whether I had prased that well.

Fragment:

All I remember of another fragment was that I was telling to someone that there are worse things in life than this.

I returned to bed around 4:20 hoping to WBTB, tried to WILD, and failed to really fall asleep again, though I was close to drifting off at some point.

So this is my second ever lucid dream I had last night. After my first lucid I stopped trying for a while thinking they would start to come naturally. Anyway I'm back in full now so here's what happened!

I am walking through the snow in the countryside with a woman from my work from work. All of a sudden it starts snowing heavily and I realize I am dreaming. do my usual RC of pinching my nose and I can still breath! Excitedly I close my eyes and say aloud to myself "it's time to fly!" I open my eyes again and I am floating high up in the air. I zoom around really fast flying over fields and mountains feeling the wind in my hair and my belly drop as I dive and climb through the air. I land in a little cavern underneath one of the mountains and find an opaque glass sphere. I remember I wanted to try telekinesis the next time I was lucid and I manage to throw it just using my mind.
Next I decide I want to create something so I imagine into existence a small button on the side of a mountain which appears. When I press it a race track pops out of the ground bellow around the mountain. I quickly lose interest in the race track and after flying around some more I lose lucidity and wake up.

Wasn't the most exciting lucid I could have hoped for but still fun! Hope to have some more soon.

Thanks for reading,

Hey guys,

This is my first post on the forum as I didn't think there was much point even posting until I had my first lucid.
Anyway for about a month now I have been doing reality checks (the one I do most is holding my nose to see if I can breath.) Before, I hadn't had much success apart from feeling a bit of SP setting in
HOWEVER... Last night I was so tired I went straight to bed and didn't bother trying to WILD as usual or anything.
After falling asleep I started to have a REALLY vivid dream about being in a computer simulation.
In the simulation I was fighting this massive burning living statue while falling off a building. The next thing I know I am walking through an alleyway and over a bridge but I keep bumping into old school friends I haven't seen in years which was obviously odd.
The next thing I know I have woken up in my bathroom at home but for I decide to pinch my nose to test for a false awakening and... I can breath and I become lucid! I run back to my dream bed and close my eyes saying when I open them I will be in a new dream scene and I am instantly taken to a beautiful Forrest somewhere in snowy mountains.
To be honest I was a bit skeptical about how realistic LDs are supposed to feel but the experience felt overwhelming real. I feel a cold mist in the air and can smell the pine trees. My vision is sharp and in focus too. I decide the thing I want to do most is fly so I jump into the air and soar above the trees like it's the most natural thing in the world. The sky is all sorts of beautiful colors and I can feel the air rushing through my hair.
I remember that LDs don't last long and that I need to make the most of it. I shout out to the dream "Show me something interesting!" all of a sudden a load of paintings are shown in front of my face. Abstract ones, one of them being a giant fish trying to kiss the planet! I cant remember the rest... After a while the dream gets shaky and I can tell its disappearing so I spin around in a circle to try and repair it but I wake up in my bed BUT again I decide to pinch my nose and find I am still dreaming!!!
2 false awakenings caught in one night! This time I just close my eyes and find myself in a porch. I open the door but I just run into another door. After running through about 5 doors in a row I tell myself that the next door will take me somewhere interesting. I open the door and I am on the roof of a house in Persia (or some other hot dessert city) and someone tells me the government are injecting a worm into peoples ears so that if they laugh at unapproved things their heads explode! The next thing I know I am Thor from the Avengers and am flaying towards the city to save people (Along with an Arabian man that has just turned into the Hulk!) After flying through the city I end up fighting Joe Perry (From Aerosmith!) who is throwing electrified tiles at me... Anyways after that I wake up and instantly write down details on my phone which I have ready for writing in.
The thing is the more I started waking up the more the dream started to feel like a distant memory and the feelings of realness faded although I KNOW at the time it felt as real as waking life...
Now I know I can do it and how real the dreams feel I am inspired to try again and again.

Thanks for reading.

Morning of December 13, 2013. Friday.



This is another dream about a “dream power”, the most common ones for me being continuous telekinesis and hovering as if there is no gravity to speak of relating to the human body only (as nothing else floats). Hovering usually brings about very vivid and full lucidity. Telekinesis, on the other hand, does not usually bring about anything other than semi-lucidity, yet with an orientation that the power is also “real” in real life.

This is a longer dream, but keeps repeating the same scenarios where I simply bring a white glass mug on a table up into the palm of my right hand by mental will alone. My sister Marilyn watches at times, seeming only slightly surprised. This is an effortless dream power for the most part, much like hovering – which simply requires lifting both legs up slightly and remaining in the air, and from there, actually flying.

The effect, when it comes to objects, is very much like a trick I had done in real life years ago, where a rubber-band (fixed within the cuff of a shirt) is used to bring something into your hand. The speed and force is very realistic in my dream.

In this particular dream, I test various distances, even from across the room, and am successful at it. I almost cannot even see the object from where I am guiding it swiftly through the air from, but it still works in all instances. This dream is mostly with the white glass mug. In other dreams, I had spent most of the time willing doors closed or open with equal success. There is no “shadow play” in this one (as is often the case) as I am only vaguely aware it is a dream – yet, again, somehow still in regards to practicing a supposedly real ability.

In the last part of my dream, I go outside and yet am still able to will the mug to fly out from the house to where I am (about two houses away and on the sidewalk) and straight into my hand. My family is to my right on Loomis Street. There is a confused man with a gun in the middle of the street as we watch from the sidewalk on the western side of the street.

With little effort, I make him drop the gun by directing some sort of telekinetic force at it - and then cause it to slide along the street, continuously just out of his reach as he chases after it upon each longer slide (of about five feet). I do this about six or seven times and it gets to be a bit annoying, as he is still within nearly attainable distance of the gun at times. Then, a somewhat mentally “slow” man walking from the north looks in our direction. I mentally will him to pick up the gun (as he seems to have little mental will of his own) and shoot the other man in both feet (just enough to take off a bit of the outside). Nothing much happens after that other than the other man tending to the pain in his feet and no longer posing a threat.

This night my alarm clock auto-snoozed as it should. I woke 4 times, having 4 dream. Non of them lucid tho..

All 4 times I woke without moving, and then trying to enter my dream being lucid... However, each time I tried, I just fell asleep..
Once time, I actually tried to keep thinking "I know I'm just laying here.... Stay awake, stay awake". I fell asleep all the times tho..

The good thing is: I can fall asleep easily. I can wake up in the night without moving.

Improvement: I will have to find a way to enter the dream. Imo, DEILDs require only 3 skills/things to do. 1. Fall asleep. 2. Wake up without moving or opening your eyes. 3. ENTER the dream. Of course then you need to stay lucid stabilize and so on. But the 3 first steps are definitely the most important. It seems I have the 2 first down, now I need to enter the dream!!

What I will try tomorrow night is different techniques to enter my dream.
I will try to just form the dream environment shortly after I wake up.
I will try to "wait it out" until hc kick in, sit up,and RC. Last time I WILDed, I experienced hc, sat up, and I was lucid. Let's try to recreate that!
However, I'm more into creating the environment myself, would be more interesting. Let's see what's gonna happen tonight!

In waking life I asked to my father why always Ringo was the most underestimated musician in the band (I know the answer) and like 5 hours later I went to sleep, that night I dreamed that I was in a small wooden cottage and Paul was listening to music and Lennon was playing guitar right next to him. I go over there and Lennon says hi to me, I salute to paul and lennon and we start talking about something, then paul started rolling a joint and a black bassist player with afro hairstyle appears... they start jamming and I tell them that I have a recurrent dream with them. This is false btw but in the dream I had that feeling that I've been there before... maybe i can't remember them.
After this I think I lost every lucidity I had. I remember someone got out of this little house and everything got mad and random, I saw everything in 3rd person and also in 2D. I saw an old woman in the snow and the entry to the cottage got blocked by a wall of ice, but Iron man destroyed the wall.. everything is just confusing now. I appear somewhere else, some kind of dungeon, in a big hall made of stones and there is someone who calls me Dylan (not my name, but then I remembered Stan from American Dad) I woke up happy about the dream involving the Beatles, but don't like the rest of the dream. Maybe I can't remember some parts. First I was telling Paul, Lennon and this big black bass player that i've been dreaming lately about them and suddenly I remember that lady coming out of the house... something is missing, maybe a LD...

I recall a fragment from the night before last where I was going to use my dream guide as an art reference, and S was there. This dream seemed to be a continuation of that. I was showing some of my art to S, and he was liking it. I got to several pages that were all failed attempts at me drawing my dream guide. (In RL, I'm not good at drawing people.) S thought they were really good and wanted to see more, but I told him to give me my sketchbook back.
