Many dreams.
I'm chasing down a king to an overhang I know is close by. Ignoring the Minecraft forest, all that you need to know is that to get there [to the overhang] you could make a jump down or take a slope, but the slope is some eighty feet out. It was all grass and rockiness, but the overhang is paved. I saw where my target jumped and prepared to jump to the right, while my friend who looks like he came out of MIB tells me it's only sixteen feet and he'll go around. I jump down and the fall, which was really forty feet, took longer than expected for some reason. Needless to say, the impact hurt and I couldn't pursue the target. One thing worth noting is that this event was not planned or scripted in my mind beforehand. Almost everything in my dreams was usually pre-planned by my subconscious mind. He got away. Apparently, the way back is like a 200 foot cliff I need to climb. To circumvent this, I just used a rocket out of nowhere. On my way back (my partner didn't have a rocket) I almost reach the city, but there's a ridiculously large moat around the whole city. I get there via chain link climbing, and when O get there, I find evrything to be made of sandstone. Some random ancient Egyptian dude crowns me king for good effort in my assassination attempt (I'm serious here!)

Second dream involves me getting on a bus and talking about how bad these random coaches hate me. There are some weird things like my door being big and teal, but nothing noteworthy

Third dream involves a figurine battle, but until this fully living caped guy with crazy jrpg hair shows up, I was winning. I recieve random awareness, and jump out the window. There's a real battlefield. That dead body, mustard, but it tastes like sour cream. I obviously need to sharpen my senses, and then I wake up about a minute later

Black: Non-dream
Blue: Non-lucid
Red: Lucid

Didn't have very good dream recall last night, I think I'll have to direct more attention to dream recall for a good week or so to bring it back to what it used to be.

Dream Fragment - Thugs from the hood
This probably has something to do with my own experiences. Me my friends were crossing at the traffic lights, it was day time. The side we were crossing to had a car waiting at the stoplights, some islanders got out and told the women I was walking with to get in the car. A couple of them were getting ready to clock me, and I push the women behind me and told them to run. I also remember that the car was technically on the wrong side of the road - in New Zealand we drive on the left side, this car was on the right side .

As I said I'm going to start getting lucid now on will so expect more lucids. Even if they seem short because when I have school I don't have enough chances to have a lucid.


I was walking with my mom after something I don't recall occurs in the dream. But as I was walking my mom pointed out that our house roof, which looked like a animal crossing red roof but bigger, was on the ground right in front of the house. I was surprised but as we walked inside I knew it was a dream.

My dad than gave us orders to stay in a room and away from trouble because there was someone coming to inspect us and that they had a bomb. I looked around and saw a little girl in the room. I don't remember why but for some reason I found her annoying. So I used my dream hand wind powers to pull her up into the air and shook her up a bit. After I put her back down she started complaining. My brother said I probably shouldn't have done that to her cause what if she came back to get me. I told him that she's not going to hurt me and went through the walls and over a fence.

As I was running the scene started transforming into a office building but with narrow halls. I thought something negative was lurking further into the office rooms and decided to go through a clear huge window that showed a welcoming city in view. As I flew I looked around at the scenery than landed somewhere near a fruit market. It had a roof over it and was attached to the supermarket though. But just when I thought things were going good I was suddenly jumped by a group of girls who were set out to get me. Things got intense.

My strength was deteriorating and my movements were slowed down as if they were poisoning me with their negative DC minds. Good thing I'm a trained combat in the art of heavy gravity. I used my sheer will and strength to kick and punch the girl DCs that were surrounding me. Wamo!! In a few minutes they were out of my face. One of the innocent DCs who was a girl started panicking. I asked if she was okay and she said yeah but the girl DCs were treating her like a doll/servant. That's when they came back madder than ever so we fought. It was 3 girls and a guy against one. I was punching, they were swinging, my defense was high up there and the offence was bringing them down. When suddenly...BANG!

They pinned me on the fruit stand and took out a weapon. It was a stick with a diamond/Jewel on the top and it appeared as if they were going to drain me. One of the girls laughed than said " Looks like we finally got you. Its too bad we have to destroy you now." As she was talking I saw that there was a pole somewhere near my hand that another girl was holding. I used all my strength and tried reaching the pole without them noticing.

Just before she could use her power stick on me I grabbed the pole and smacked them all back than through the stick in the air that now exploded and ran into the supermarket. In it I saw a old friend and decided to try one of the dream foods as a reward for my dream fighting training. At first it looked like a peanut butter and jelly snack on the box so I took it. But when I opened it it was fruit roll ups.

I was surprised but content as well. I ate it than noticed the gang of DCs looking for me. I ran up a couple of stairs and shouted for the DCs to stop. I looked at them all intensely and asked why were they still chasing me. Is there something your unhappy about? One of them said they weren't content with their blushing face. A toy whale thing said it wasn't sure what it was confused about and a guy DC said something I don't recall. Anyways I told them to stop the chase and woke up.

Had my 3rd LUCID DREAM last night. Exactly like last time, it was a long process to get there, so here goes.

I 'm standing into a queue to get into a hotel for a friends wedding. I didn't see her, and I didn't recognise anyone. The doors were made of metal and slid open. Inside was an empty dance floor. I followed two lads down some stairs and into some corridors - bit of a blur - I'm now outside amongst rolling green hills. Me and a group of others are walking through a marsh. There are cut divots of grass just below the waters surface and we are making all haste all of a sudden - we're being pursued! Me and a tall lad I dinny ken reach the paths end, its a snow covered slope. He goes first and we attempt a climb, due to some optical illusion the slope becomes vertical quickly and we realise its a trap of sorts - bit of a blur again- I'm back in the corridors, its just me left. The corridor splits in two. Ahead to the left a huge bunch of zombies appear (I've never dreamt aboot zombies before!) the leader says something and I run down the other fork. A Skeletal dog appears- before it can attack, I grab it by the snout and start cracking it open - odd. I then find myself in a room above a restaurant. I dive through some windows which are covered by drapes, theres no glass, I hear a woman shout 'You cant do that!' and I fall one storey and end up lying on some curatins looking up - a womans concered face looks down at me - it was quite cinematic!

I have a false awakening. I grab a bit of yellow card and a red pen and try to record the dream. the pen runs out! My wife is is sitting next to me. She says 'Ah, you're actually a computer simualtion' Shes serious, and I realise its true! - I get hysterical and she doesn't understand why! I ask her if she has a family in real life and she says no. I scream some more when I realise my son isn't real either!

I have ANOTHER false awakening. Jings am I glad the last part wasn't real (I hope!) I grab the yellow card and try to read what I've written. There is just the outline of words and I cant make them out.

I now have a total blur which is annoying because then I am suddenly completely lucid!!

I'm in a long cluttered basement. My Uncle and his wife are there. I want to leave and go somewhere better! My uncle is farting about and wont get out of the way. I've always wanted to muck aboot with DC's! I open a cupboard and theres a pair of boots inside. I turn to my uncle and pour the contents of the boots onto the cobbled surface. Out comes literally gallons of water! - Then some Minnows, the a couple of eggs. I look to my Uncle - he couldn't give a toss. Then two shoeboxes come pouring out the boots (One black & one white) My Uncle says 'Oh, COME ON!!!!' This seems to work as he's eager to leave. I feel the dream slipping a bit. I shout 'More lucidity' and press my hands to a handy shelf. I do this two or three times but its not helping a great deal. I try to walk a wee bit but its getting dark. I try to visualise another uncle for some reason, but it doesn't work - I wake up

Great fun though!!

I was walking on the middle of the road and then a man wearing one of those yellow construction vest started punching me, so we begin to fight afterwards he yelled out for the police and quickly I could hear their sirens. Something I did which is my usual response to these situations is to attempt to quit game however this did not qualify for the dream. I began forcing myself to enter in one of the police cars, but was then teleported in to the living room. The lights were on, I then continue to ran forward to the back door and opened it with the intention to runaway. That is when I caught myself in thoughts and knew this is a dream. I began running on the road saying I am dreaming and then I ask why was it so dark? I made attempt with dream control to cause the sun to rise however it was futile. It began to get too dark to the point where I could not see anything. The only thing I properly perceive now was the wind passing through me while I ran. Eventually this does not last long. A CPU file appear in the darkness and said rebooting please wait patiently as it finish loading. Soon it reach to a hundred percent and appear in my father room. I ask if I was dreaming as I already had the thought this was an FA. I look at my hand but it appears normal. Before I made it my intention to use the noise pinch RC I woke up. Lucidity Time: 1 minute.

I've not posted here in quite a while! It's quite pathetic!

So I've been having terrible dream recall lately, so I decided to pull out all the stops, do everything I can to improve it.
Detailed dream journals, reality checks, improving awareness (which is pretty hard for me), and reading loads about lucid dreaming.

Not to mention reading all my old dream journals on here from back in the day!


So I decided to try Wake Back to Bed seriously for the first time ever. I had to make my own alarm clock program for this
I think this was pretty good for a first try

(note: there's a few swear words as this was right out of my dropbox dream journal)

non-dream
dream
lucid
-----------------------------
This is around 2:45 or so.


Dream 0:
???
I barely remember this.
I woke up, and the countdown clock said it had only been an hour.
I hear dad getting up, and going to the bathroom.
I lay there, trying SSILD. I try to do cycles but my mind wanders very quickly. I desperately try to keep on track but it's very hard.
I eventually hear bumping from the bedroom, which almost jumpscares me, but I lay there doing cycles, or at least attempting them.

I eventually fall asleep.


--------------

Dream 1:
So I'm in a car, going down a street. It's twilight out, the sky is really dark but you can still see the sun for some reason. You can see a bunch of woods, and a few farms from the road. I come to a rather drawn out turn, and I pull into this circular building.
I get out and walk into a bathroom. It's incredibly nasty in here, with at least one hobo in the bathroom as I walk in. The lighting is very yellow. The walls are mostly made out of tiles. I go into one of the stalls, but then walk out as it was nasty. I then see another hobo in the middle of the bathroom, shitting on the floor! WTF! So I bolt out of there as fast as I can. I then wake up.

I open up my laptop, and my countdown clock says it's been 3 hours since I fell asleep.
I try SSILD again, but it's very hard to keep focus. I eventually fall asleep.

--------------

Dream 2:
I'm in a blueish green field. There's lots of trees around and it's day time.
I see a monstrous bird under a tree, and I go near it. All of a sudden a DC comes and yanks me back, telling me not to go there!

He tells me about those birds.
They're cranes of some sort (forgot the name) that grow to 8 feet tall usually.
Males are larger than females, and have ornate colors below their necks. Females are just gray.
Their bodies are more vertical that most cranes. (similar to Praricrane?)

He tells me, that their eyes get radio active lasers before they're large enough to carry someone.
I then wake up.

I once again look at my laptop and it says I have less that 12 minutes to the alarm!
So I open notepad, type "6-33 12-19", then close the clock. I then lay back down.

This time I SSILD more seriously, and eventually become numb. Almost as if I'm hovering in the air. I then fall asleep.


-----------------------

Dream 3:
So I am in some huge thrift store. The walls are gray and there's some green plants on the walls. So I'm looking around and on the shelves I see some old gameboys! I see what looks like a gameboy color (with batteries!) which I pick up, and then I see what looks like a gameboy DMG but is a lot thinner and a bit taller. The screen is rather small and a very light green.

So I grab these, and then I turn on the GBC and I see the GBC bios, along with some garbled text near the bottom. :ding: So I look where the game is, and I see no game!
I then pocket the gameboys, and I look around some more.

Next thing I know I'm in the 22nd century, talking with DCs about bone implants and shit. It's my house, and it looks more or less just like my house, but there are floating platforms everywhere. So I get on one, and I think about those implants. So there's some kind of race to get one of those. So we run around the back yard (the tree is there), and eventually it's night time, and I have one of those. Not in me, but I have one. I go back on one of those floating platforms. It's night now, there's lots of bright stars and the sky is a deep blue.

So I now have a CD with me, along with some white music player with me. I don't play the music, instead just laying on the floating platform. I then get up, and go into the fort. Some DC comes with me, and starts talking about gay stuff. I walk into the top level of the fort, which looks like it was made out of netherrack.

So I'm sitting there, and all of a sudden I start mining the netherrack down with my invisible pickaxe. Once it's more or less gone, I go to the corner of my house, and there's a bunch of tables there. There, some DCs are making a gameboy demo. I take the cart and put it in the unreal gameboy and turn it on. I then hear deep tones, and music, while seeing some flying ships on the gameboy screen.

For some reason this made me run around the back yard frantically!
I eventaully get back to the hovering platforms, and I switch dreams.


---------------------

Dream 4:
So I am in this circular room, styled very similarly to the fire sanctuary. The room is open to the sky, though there was a metal grating on the top.

Ghirahim is in here as well. I have the spinner from twilight princess, and I am just messing around. I'm running into all these pillars that are in here, but I can't hit him. I eventually slow down, and I am right in front of him. I inch my way forward, and I start getting the spinner in him. The square protrusions just clip through his legs!

So I get off the spinner, and I start noclipping around. I noclip inside him, and turn off noclip. He all of a sudden juts back, as if he was hurt by that. He has a sad look on his face. He runs into this teleporter in the huge pillar thats in the middle of the room, and the door opens.

So I go through the door and I come out to a rather brown room, similar to the ending areas from the first skyward sword dungeons, but more designs around this area.
There's water everywhere, and a red metal path towards this structure that looks, almost like a slide. It had two openings near the bottom that when you walk through, you're teleported away similar to other zelda games.

I didn't walk through them, instead I noclipped around, and went onto the top of the waterfall. The water has no collision up there!

I try to slide off, but I can't and end up falling down to the floor.
I eventually wake up from here.

I wake up and it's noon! How did I sleep that long?

Either way, then begins loooooong process of dream recall followed by DJing all these.

WOW, did I just coin a new phrase? Nope, just did a Google check DSILD

My dream sign is a black cat. Whenever I see a black cat in my dream I become instantly lucid, even if I’m beyond tired and in a deep sleep. I have these little pictures of cats scattered around my house and at work, and whenever I see these pics, I do a reality check. It has worked out really well.

Last night in a dream, I was under a table, on my hands and knees organizing some files. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a black fuzzy thing sneaking up alongside me. I flicked this creeping black thing away using the backside of my hand, without even thinking, and it was sort of like a panic reflex. I then took a close look at what I just flicked, and it was my beautiful black cat, my dream sign. I became instantly lucid. I then looked at the cat and said, “Oh, is that you? I’m sorry, come here.” I called the cat by her name. The cat quickly came to me and I hugged it in my arms. The cat then kissed me right on the lips, just like a person would. Lips actually formed on the cat for an instant as it kissed me, and I felt its little teeth hitting mine. This little cat helps me to become lucid at least once or twice per week, and we always do some snuggles! I swear this cat seeks me out.

My dream started with me waking up in my apartment, it was still very dark outside so I go to turn on the light, but none of the lights in my apartment work, further more no lights anywhere are working, but the power is not out, my computer is running but there's no light coming from the screen, no moon light, nothing, just darkness. I try to light a few candles but when they burn there is no flame, just that blue dim ember burning appearance, nothing that i light will produce a full flame...


If anyone can help me with the meaning of this I'd appreciate it.

The only thing I remember I successfully transformed into a Black Cat.

I'm at a local pool. But around me are things that I don't remember. The trees are sadder and less alive than before. The grass is gray and the sky is opaque. Where am I? This isn't Pocahontas Pool.
I look ahead of me and see a few people from my school. They don't see me. Instead they're talking to each other. I begin to walk over where they are.
"Hi"
They only stare. Their eyes are cold and I freeze where I stand. I suddenly can't move and my thoughts break like old towers. Then they freeze and I'm able to move. This girl appears from my peripheral. She's quite beautiful. I don't remember her name but I remember seeing her around school. She grabs my hand and leads me in to the pool along with her. She just looks at me. A heart-felt stare. I feel as though she has me captive. I never want to leave.
We get into the water and just float there. She speaks.
"What's your name?"
Her voice is so sweet. Like the sound of birds in morning. I smile.
"Dana"
She swims closer to me. And looks deeper into my eyes. The closer she gets and quicker my heart beats. She touches me and my body softens.
She wraps her arms around my neck and rests her legs around my waist, then says, "Are you a model?"
Why is she asking such a thing? Is this a joke? I feel as though everyone behind me has planned this and if I say something wrong they'll all laugh at me. But then I look into the pool and see my reflection: I'm beautiful. More beautiful than I've ever seen myself.
"No... I'm not"
Her eyes hold something more than she's telling me. They're pale blue and deep as promise.
She leans her head and presses her lips on mine. I feel her tongue reaching in-between my lips. I do the same, and before I know it, where making out.
I've never made out with a girl before. It's quite easy. I've always wondered how it felt. The sensation of someone else's lips on mine. Their warmth making its way into my body. This feels so right. Until she stops.
"Are you ready?"
What is she talking about? I know this must be a joke. I push her away and turn my head.
"What are you talking about?" It comes out with more force than I intended.
"Don't you remember? Today's the day..."
I kind of have an idea where she's taking this. I get out of the pool and walk away. I hear her voice echoing in my head. The more it sounds the angrier I become. I look around me and everyone is still frozen. I look behind me and she's gone.
I look below me and the ground is falling from underneath me. And as it falls I do, too.
:canislucidus:

I was a female reporter for some kind of news agency who had gotten some serious dirt on the US government and they had sent some secret service agents to try and stop me from leaking the word. I was working with this man who looked and dressed just like Morpheus from the matrix movies. I think he was my bodyguard or something.
The funny part was as we were being chased by these guys he was piggy-back-riding me around. We were in a park area but there were many tall buildings around. Somebody pointed out that a speck in the sky was actually just the space station. My vision zoomed in and I could see four large solar panels coming off of it.
He continued running with me on his back. A couple of tranquilizer darts flew past us. I can recall this funny looking helicopter was being used to chase us, with a sniper in it firing the darts. It didn't have a tail or any stabilization. it was just a pod with a big propeller on it. I looked at it and realized that it wouldn't be able to fly, and it crashed.
Eventually we somehow created this portal on the ground and jumped through it.
...
We wound up in this beautiful sanctuary area; some kind of virtual reality or alternate dimension. There were these shallow concrete pyramids with waterfalls running down the sides and various plants and flowers planted in the steps. There was a huge lake; in fact, I think we were on an island. But you could see mountains in the distance. There were also many tall deciduous trees with brightly colored leaves. Everything was tinted autumn colors. (Reds, Oranges, Yellows, Browns). Even the sky was tinted orange.
The Morpheus man told me that the government agents could still find us here, but it was probably safe to rest for the night. He told me to gather wood from the forest so that we could make a fire.
I recall walking into the woods. I see a orange Chinese dragon, about fifteen or twenty feet long flying in the woods, weaving its serpentine body through the trees. It blends well with the leaves, but I'm certain that it's there.
...
I became lucid. I changed myself out of the female reporter guise. I decided to summon Manei for our sit down question time that I've been visualizing. I yelled for her name, and heard her yell back. I looked and standing about a hundred feet into the autumnal forest, I could vaguely make her out.
"Manei, I have some questions for you!"
"Hurry up, the dream is about to end!"
"How come if it's my dream, I can't picture what happens and make it happen?" (I was trying to ask her why my visualization doesn't work.)
"Because you didn't like your cookie from 300 years ago!"
I woke up.

Typical Manei logic...

When I do get my long conversation dream, I should ask her why half the time she makes sense and the other half she says totally random things like that.

I went back to sleep; it was still quite early. I think it yielded a Nonlucid dream, but I cannot recall it.

1.
I’m standing on my tippy-toes up on my bed reaching for something (on the ceiling fan?), wearing the same thing I went to sleep in - my Superman logo shirt.

I come to realize that I’m awake and really am standing on my bed. I wobble back down, feeling confused, before I craw back under the cover and go back to sleep.

2.
Hanging around a house. There’s an autistic boy and his cat. The cat is super friendly, I remember petting it when it snuggled against me.

I played a Pokemon game with him.

I looked in a bottom drawer of something at three of his books.

Jump.

I’m on a porch with a roof with him. We suddenly burst into dance with some music playing. I’m really letting loose, doing all kinds of moves including some flips, which is dangerous because I’m wearing the same clothes as IWL, a white shirt with a butterfly on it and a very long, wavy blue skirt.

We finish, and a group of elderly people pop up outside the windows of the porch that weren’t there before. I realize that we had probably disturbed them, our neighbors, with our noise.

But then suddenly they break out into a choreographed dance! But then when I look at them, there are also mid-aged clones of the same chubby guy. I think how vigorous the dancing is, and how good it would be for losing weight. I turn and ask “How often do they do this?’

After they’re done, one of them hands me a PaperBackSwap book in the default white wrapper. I get excited and open it, but unfold a piece of paper from it. It’s a notice that I’d have to go pick it up since I missed the delivery.

It says I actually have to go to their house to get the book, which I think is bullcrap. Part of the address has ‘Metville’ in it although I remember thinking upon recalling it that it was something else. There was also something written in big print letters on a black square.

Inspirations: I got a PBS book recently, the notice might have been because I was worried about getting my credit for sending off a book. Pokemon from reading past dream entries. Where did the dancing come from?? Need.more.dancing! Waait the dancing may have been inspired by a mod for Dragon Age: Origins! Yesterday I had everyone dance to a folk song in Camp. Chubby guys most likely from The Biggest Loser, since I had just looked at my paper and saw it was coming on the next night.

I woke up in my room (false awakening), but there were two things wrong; it was way too bright, and the window was on the wrong wall. As a reality check, I focused on the curtain and levitated it to the middle of room, and then it vanished. I figured great! Now I can go and explore my dream house! Btw, I’ve never managed to explore my house in a false awakening. I leaped from my bed in excitement, and then I woke up. Dang!
