Dream was about swing dancing. A big swing dance, I think in Bloomington. An exchange, a workshop maybe. Not at the Union. Christain was there. Ended up in cafeteria of my grade school. Jazz band. We danced to live music from them. I think I sang.Someone was teaching basic dance moves. I was having trouble with one of them. Was very frustrating. I was very irritable in this dream. I lied to someone. TOld them I didn't have a phone. 'Cause I didn't want to have to deal with them, talk to them. Felt really bad about that. I don't know how to get out of a lie. Someone offered me some kind of gum. It was maybe spicy or shocking or something. I turned it down. Later in a video game. But actually *in* the video game. But I knew it was a video game. That's promising, that's like a dream. That's like knowing you're in a dream almost. I even remember regenerating. It was an FPS. I didn't want to shoot anything. I wanted to take pictures for some reason. But I tried to hit the "take pictures" button and it just ended up shooting. I don't know how it had a take pictures button given that I was actually *in* it. Like virtual reality, but more like a dream. Several people sitting around having dinner. Candles. Took the wicks out of all the candles so I could melt them down and make big candles. Dragonfly or something hiding on the wall. Hiding in the wallpaper pattern from something. From a bird? A monkey? Some kind of animal. There was a parrot. These few creatures ended up chasing each other around flying through the room. Yeah I was really irritable in this dream and I don't know why.
The dream begins with me and a lot of students in this type of choir for Dr. Wolf. We go up on stage and start singing this song and he gets all into it and is dancing on the stage. I kinda joke around during the whole thing. Then I sit down and some kid comes up to me with a lighter just like my Germany lighter I accuse him of stealing mine but then find mine looks a little different in my pocket. Then I go outside to meet nate who tells me about a place we can get free beer. I look on my phone, relieved to still have it but it is 4am so I tell him I am going home. He stumbles around and then brings his luggage over this fence.
I'm trying to use the following lucid induction video: The video uses isochronic tones. The first part is meant to lull you into a deep sleep withthe isochronic version of delta binaural beats, eventually transitioning into a theta frequency. About 65 min. in, voices start saying, "This is a dream," "Perform a reality check," etc. My first time around, I think lost conciousness for a moment, then started hearing noises. I remember hearing a dog barking, a door slamming, and footsteps. I performed a reality check, but I was fully concious. I'm unsure whether these sounds were part of the video (unlikely), hallucinations, or real noises. I think the third is most likely because a.) I was only about 12 min. into the video and b.) I live in an apartment complex where most people have dogs. I've attempted this multiple times tonight. I think the problem is that the video is too short. I can't fall asleep quickly enough. If anyone has links to longer videos (on YouTube) that have worked for you, let me know.
Dream Fragment 1: I'm holding onto a man. Both of my hands are gripping one of his arms very tightly. He doesn't seem to mind. We are in a very crowded area. It's filled with people laughing, drinking and dancing. I let go of his arm and he places his hand on the small of my back, leading me away from the crowd. I feel happy. Dream Fragment 2: I'm in Grandma and Grandpa's R.V., sitting at the table. Julie and I sit on opposite sides, talking about whatever. A guy, who I both know and don't know, Walks up to the table with a plate of food. He looks at Julie and then he looks at me. He smiles big and tells me to move over. I move a bit and he sits next to me. We share his plate of food.
Thomas (my older brother) owed LilWayne drug money. He didn't have enough especially when Lil'Wayne decided it was like 100,000. We got out of there and Thomas accused me of not caring enough to help.
7/28/13 Last night bed 10:30 - 5 am 7am-12pm Shortly after falling asleep last night, I woke startled and I was so sure I'm dreaming. Counted my left hand's fingers, normal number. I was thinking "please, let they be normal on the other one too". I was so freaked out. I was awake, but the feeling lingered. Thank god for RCs.
Legend: Dream , Semi-Lucid , Lucid My sister had a party last night. As a result, i was woken up at various times through the night which really interrupted my logging but i was able to log the last dream before my final awakening. GTA Deathmatch Explorer: The dream starts off with me and some friends playing an adventure game with a setting that resembles cube world. I'm looking at a map. On the map are locations and the locations light up when you discover them. So as i look at the map, i plan which place i want to clear on my map next. I pick and as i start to travel, the setting changes to GTA. I'm now crossing a large stone dam. I get to the other side but i was forced to kill some cops as they would have discovered me otherwise. After i kill them, more cops show up and i make my way back up and across the dam. I notice that i still have 1 star no matter how far out i go, which means i must have really built up a bad reputation. As the dream continues, i join an online deathmatch game. It's starts off with me driving a fast car into a building, luckily, i jump out but find myself on the roof of a house. The setting was a neighborhood by the way. As i'm on the roof, i find a rifle and start shooting the other players. I get a lot of points for this. Eventually, the game restarts and i climb back on to the building but this time, i take the other rifle that was on the roof. I start using it, it's not as effective as the other rifle. I make my way down and start shooting from ground level. The neighborhood slowly turns into a land of fire as various buildings catch fire. At one point, i killed a reptilian. After that, i remember doing some combat at my dojo. Soon after, the game ends and i did decently. I ranked up to like rank 5. After that, my friends and i decided to play something else. As we were leaving the game, we noticed some people who were like rank 20 which was pretty high. Strategic defense: I was inside some real time strategy game and the setting was my farm. I was going through a tutorial. It had some elements of sins of a solar empire in which there were rocks on my farm and i could build mines on them that would produce copper. The rocks were as small as a bowl but i that didn't stop me from building a mine on it. I also managed to build dome shields to guard the mines.
... I was in some place I don't know. Probably a school. These two girls are following me. Each one carries a hand bag. I left a room and turn to a big corridor. I'm getting a strange feeling. They keep stalking me. I turn and one of them comes towards me like she wants to give me her bag and asks: "Are you Telmo?" My heart is racing!! I felt being pulled down. Like I was in the middle of a spiral. There's this deep guttural roar. So weird. The dream stops. I'm in my bed. I open my eyes and try to move. I can't. The roar continues and there's this black silhouette in front of me. I was trying so hard to move. It lasted just a few seconds until I finally managed to move. The thing is... I wasn't scared. I was somehow aware of all the stuff I've been reading about SP. And didn't gave it much thought. I was trying to move because I thought I was in a middle of a WILD attempt and it was time I try and leave my body for my FIRST! Lucid dream. I seems my mind is going all in at night. My recall is also improving every day but I'm still unable to get Lucid.
