This is the kind of experience that I don’t know exactly where to put it: WILD/OBE?...
I woke up at 5:30 extremely happy, I thought for an hour about how happy I was with life, just because…

I know that when I’m this happy, I have a strange feeling in my belly, like something warm and moving inside. I fell asleep again with this overwhelming feeling of happiness and next thing I felt were the vibrations and the funny feelings of an OBE, which I think are some kind of different from WILD, I also felt like a BIG hand pulling me from my bed, I thought “not OBE please, I just want a lucid dream”, I instantly felt like something was “decreasing” and then some images began appearing as if there was a screen in front of me, and that usually happens when I try WILD, the screen appears and I jump into the scene.

I feel “something” is “calling” me, I don’t know how to describe this feeling, but the next thing I feel is that I’m flying over a ship, the sea is brave and there is someone in the sea asking for help, it’s not that I hear her, I just know this person is probably dying, also I don’t know why I do it but I just sent love to that person dying.

Next scene: I’m in the middle of nothing, floating around in space, there’s almost complete darkness, I see some stars but very far away, and very few. I try to look at my hands but I don’t have a physical body, I don’t see anything but I feel I am something. I touch my belly (the place where I feel there’s something) with my “hands” and I feel something extremely weird, I don’t know if “pain” would be the appropriate word, but it felt as an electric shock.

I began swimming around in this nothingness, not knowing exactly where to go, since everything is very far, and there’s almost nothing. I see something like a big hand appearing and pointing me to follow it (well, I didn’t quite see it, it was a combination of seeing and feeling… nevermind, it’s hard to describe what it was like) I follow it but since I’m moving too slow by swimming I increase speed with thought until something “opens” and I’m traveling very fast, I’m approaching to something big and red, I think I’m going to land inside a planet, but as I come closer I see it’s not a planet, it’s just something red with gold, a planetary nebulae (now I know the name), like this one but less dense


when I pass by it I hear a loud whoosh!! I gasp because I was impressed, I’ve never seen something like that before… but I think that the sound of gasping was real because I heard it coming also from my real body, and that’s what woke me up… well, not exactly full waking, it was false awakening over false wakening several times… and on the last one happened something really weird that had happened to me only a couple of times before during OBE, it’s a very brief moment where I realize why I am here, it includes so much more…. It feels like traveling very fast through “layers” until I’m here, but the difference between those layers it’s just some energy I would call fear.

I haven't updated my DJ for a long time.
I almost instantly got lucid just after I entered the dream I saw some unusual stuff and realized instantly that I was dreaming at that point I felt that I am losing lucidity and I screamed very loud LUCID PILLS and lucid pills appeared on the grouns I took them and I regained my luciditiy control.So I wanted
to teleport to New York City I closed my eyes and spinned in a circle and I teleported but not to New York City I was in some warehouse full of computer parts I was thinking to myself I wish my friend was here as I explored the warehouse I accidentally foumd my real life friend I told him I was with him in a lucid dream and he said lets blow the warehouse so I tried to think about explosives and they appeared in a bag 10 meters infront of me when I opwnwd the bag I found childish fireworks I felt really angry and amused so I tried get the whole warehouse full of fireworks.We lighted all the fireworks at once (I was fire bending) and I got us a cover by earth bending and making us a hut.I heard the explosion it sounded like everything disappeared when we got out of the hut literally everything was gone.So I get bored and I stab my friend in the chest for funsies he falls down like hes dead I sit on the ground floor and try to teleport anywhere but here meanwhile I hear
my friend standup and he chased me to the edge and I fall off thats when I died in the dream but I didnt wake up I still continued dreaming and was lucid.
I THINK THE REST OF THE DREAM MUST BE UNROLS ITS TOO PRIVATE
Thanks for reading!

Journal Entry Lucid #23 Dream,Lucid, (Comments)
Background:I meditated before going to sleep. I told myself I could have a LD but it is ok if I don't have one just as long as I could remember my dream.

Dream fragment 3 time 4:360am-5:43am"":
I was being annoyed by my sister. She kept on running in front of me and opening the door, but in a slow way. She opened one door and it led to my school in the AA building next to the restaurant. I realized I have been here before. I walked and did a RC, a nose plug. I felt the air pass through.

I realized it was a dream. I tried to stabilize by spinning. The dream was really unstable, I though I was going to lose it. I started entering void. I hear a voice that said, "a lot of people view themselves in a dream as powerful people, they live a split personality". The voice brought me out of the void. Like a picture it came back. I was at the school. I laid on the floor. I looked at the floor it looked just like the schools. I thought this is too real. I kept walking, I started to think that i was in an alternative reality. I tried to use telekinesis when my calc II teacher drove by. Car turned, I was about to be relieved, but he came out just to say sup to his friend. I thought I couldn't do simple telekinesis. I kept walking. I see cars just like in school. I see people talking and having a great time. Nothing out of the usual. On the other side this man followed me. He seem to know what is going on. The only person that paid attention. I walked to him and said, "could they see me?" He responded, "they don't see a man that sees no-one. This goes both ways. And that is why I am going to kill you".

I realized not an alt reality it is just a dream. I then started repeating what he said so that it will stick inside my head. I tried my best. I then started smiling. I jumped to fly. Since my belief changed, it is now a dream in which I could do what ever I like. I flew up, he flew behind me grabbed my foot and tossed me back to the ground. It felt painful when I hit the floor. He landed and tried to have a one on one with me. I did a jujitsu move and I took him to the floor. I wrapped my legs around him and I said, "I am sorry, I love you (I am just trying to project love, it didn't work) but I am going to have to kill you. I started squeezing the life out of him like a snake. He started to smile. And as he was about to give out, I woke up.

Dream fragment 2 time 8:00pm-2:37am"":
Long story short inside game, met a guy that was trying to teach my friend to shoot with a helicopter. He landed an airplane and he tried to convince us that he has a book that is wonderful. we were in a book store and he picks up a book and he told us it is really good and we should buy it. I turn and I see a pig looking guy like from Simpsons, he was in the store and he was inside my house all of a sudden. I asked who's dream am I in?(dream quality went up) Am I inside this pig guy's dream? They chuckled at me. I thought about it, it doesn't make sense, why would I be in someone else's dream. I am most likely in my dream. I did a finger count 5. My hands were wavey though going back and forth. I then did nose plug. I felt my hands pinch my nose while feeling the air pass through my hands.

I realized it was a dream. As I am heading to my room, I see grandmother and it started to get pitch black. I decided to go outside. It felt like somebody put a purple overlay on my eyes. The world looked different with an increase in highlights of purple. I then started to rub hands and it started turning reddish. I then did spin technique and it stabilized the dream incredibly fast. I see tree's all over my house. I saw green trees and blue. Some tall as the red wood and some short. I walk and I see a swimming pool and in the middle a nice little island with a tree on it. I tried to walk on water. I did it before I told myself.

I touched the water and I felt the water beneth my feet. I didn't walk on water. I thought I was going to sink in so I started to fly. I then realized that the water was not big enough because it hasn't even covered my legs. I then landed and started swaying my hands up and down to make the pool get full. The water followed my hands as I push forwards the wave went forward as I pushed down it goes backwards. I realized I still can do telekinesis so I turned and lifted my left arm the water followed me. The water itself was motionless above my head. I wanted to see the texture of the water so I put my hands in side of it. It felt like any water I ever had. I became excited about the realism of the dream and the possibilities. So I woke up

Archeological Discovery -

I walk around this hill to find a person who had found a tomb in the ground. He had all but uncovered the small main treasure trove of the vault, maybe 4' by 3' by 5' deep. I can see the hole that he dug into this small chamber. I am sitting on top of the grass and the top to the main trove is partially exposed. I begin to pull up chunks of earth with a really small flat shovel. I unearth what looks to see like belt segments. And quite a few of them. We keep on digging and pull out other artifacts, most at this point which I cannot remember. After awhile I remember finding something in the tomb which had batteries in it that were to expire in Early 2014. Now this I thought would mean that this tomb isn't that old. All of a sudden I get a flashback in time to where the idea of this location for this tomb popped up. I can see a Native American man and woman. It seems to be from the past, maybe in the 60's or so. He is walking along this beautiful area in the forest and this area is clear of foliage and has nice green grass. He points out a really large redwood with a base of about 10' maybe 15'. Then about 40 feet further down this grass area, he points out another on his other side, seemingly of the same size. He proclaims that this is the area for the burial of his mother. I watch him as he keeps walking and about 150 feet further down he finds what seems to be a sewer in the middle of the grassy area. It has the hole and even the piping for a sanitary sewer. I see him begin to use this as the tomb. They are going through an entire ceremony and I can see them placing objects in the small treasure trove area. Lastly they put the mothers ashes there.

Malibu Drunk Driving Fear Based -

I am going down Broadway with a group of friends and I know I have had too much to drink. There are cops everywhere! If only I can keep the car moving straight without swerving. The lights are turning red. Okay, slowing down. Shit! There is a cop at the next intersection to the right. I notice every one of the cars move to the far left lane as the lights turn green, maybe to avoid the cop. I keep going straight. Okay I am at the main intersection of Broadway and 2nd Street and now it almost seems like my lights aren't even turned on. I pull the knob out on my 78 Malibu and sure enough they weren't even turned on. But wait, I didn't notice any light coming from the lights! I jump out and look and see NO light or even lights themselves on my vehicle, WTF!?!?! Okay now I am paranoid and need to find a parking ramp asap. My friends are with me and see the panic. They seem to not worry to much about it but I'm all about finding a spot to park this car. I roll through my old neighborhood in downtown looking for a ramp. I am in an area now where I can barely squeeze through. I back up to turn through this squeeze again and make it and look over to see my friends approval of my driving skills. The dream fades from here.

Background: I had, well a misunderstanding, a disagreement with my mom and dad about our belief. I told them that it is ok that they don't believe the same thing as me. We agreed to disagree. I also meditated and I told myself I could have a LD but it is ok if I don't have one just as long as I could remember my dream.

Dream fragment 1 time 8:00pm-11:34pm"":
I was in the car with my dad and I was about to do a R.C. My dad stops me and I think he said, "don't be like John(I thought john the baptist for some reason)". The car was no more and we were walking on the road. I see a man in the middle of the highway. My dad was saying while I realized it was a dream, "you never know when it is a dream".

I realized it was a dream. I became angry that my dad tried to trick me earlier and he didn't want me to do a RC. I started backing away from him. He looked at me, I said, "leave me alone you lied to me, I know it is a dream". He transforms into a bigger version of himself. I leave and I tried to stabilize by rubbing my hands. He followed me. I was now next to a bridge. I started disassembling parts to some vehicle by using telekinesis. I then wanted to see how good of a toss I could get out of my telekinesis. I toss it as hard as I can. It stopped mid-flight.

I turn and I see my dad with his hands raised up. I told him, "I don't want to talk to you". He walks in front of me. I toss the object again but then he stopped it yet again. I got angry, I said, "why would a DC be this powerful?" I told myself normally I would wake up in a time like this so I stabilized. I didn't want to have anything to do with him so I used my telekinesis to toss him in the air. s I was walking these people showed up to distract me and wake me up. A guy told me about my wrong doing. Too many people so I ran. I went through a door in a builiding and out a window which led to another room and I had to go through another window, dream logic . I ran across street went into somebodies house. I see this fat girl thathad her butt crack showing it was disgusting so much so that I started losing lucidity. I turn and I see my dad and other people. I realized I better wake up before I forget dream which I did a little.

Background: I told my parents I no longer need their permission to have LD. I realized that "right" and "wrong" are just a different view of the same picture so they don't have to agree with me and I don't have to agree with them. I told them that and they were upset at me. They were praying for me, I guess to change. And the most important part of the dream the man with half a face showed up because I have been having dreams that are gruesome where one involved my grandmother being killed and other with a man being stapled. I had the chance to confront it but I blew it for my own selfish telekinesis. I will have another chance hopefully. I meditated and I told myself I could have a LD but it is ok if I don't have one just as long as I could remember my dream.

Dream fragmennt 1, time 8:10pm-12:00am"":
I was in the living room and I see my dad on his laptop. He was using a program without me showing him how to use it. He asked me, "How long have I slept?" I looked at hand clock and it said 11 something. I said that weird why would he ask me, he hasn't slept at all. I then hear a voice that said move to your energy box. It got pitch black as I walked to grandma's room. I awoken for a brief moment and understood that it was the recording of Robert Monroe.

While conscious I tried to go back to sleep. I see a vague picture of a white horse in my room. It then became clearer and clearer. I had arms and I could move them. The first thing I did is rub my hands to stabilize. As I opened the door to my room it took me to a country side. I see a man to my right with half his face torn. No eyes and flesh dragging on his face. I thought I should project love. I don't want him to bother me though. I don't want to wake up,since I wake up after being satisfied with task I finish. I then gave him a cheap hug and I said, "sorry!". I turn to see if he left and he looked at the floor sad and began walking away. Most of the time when other lucid dreamers project love it ends in a wonderful way. I started to feel conflicted about the choice I made, he didn't disappear. I kept walking and thinking about it, I completely ignored the road made of gold and started walking elsewhere. I see my sister along with my cousin FN, AL, and BY. I tried to use my telekinesis and lift my sister up, but I was still distracted by the incident. She was just on her phone, nothing happened. I turned and tried again she went up, but then she shook her head of disapproval and she floated back down. I tried to lift my cousins and they went up but once I tried to lift my sister it doesn't work. I got angry and when I flicked my finger to make them land, they got launched to the floor. I then hear a countdown 10..9..8..-4 I woke up It was the mp3 player doing count down.

Gave a friend a present, a terrarium. But the water bowl broke. I remembered that it had already been broken and then I got a replacement, and now that broke. I wondered what size it should be. In my dream the one I had was large enough for a real duck to swim in, which they sometimes did.

1. M.
I'm riding my bicycle down the road in a crowd of other cyclists. Suddenly I hear someone call my name. I recognise the voice (female, sweet), but I don't quite remember to whom it belongs. I stop riding, turn around and see my old friend M walking towards me smiling. I haven't seen her for a couple of years IWL. She looks happy and beautiful. Her hair is shiny and black and she's wearing a cable-knit sweater the colour of cream. At this point I know I'm dreaming. The surroundings are a little drunken and blurry, so I decide to stabilise the dream. I go in for a hug M ducks out of it with a confused smile. "What are you doing?" she asks. "I'm just trying to stabilise the dream" I tell her, and she allows my second attempt. Her body feels solid and warm, her hair is soft and smells of perfume. The experience is very real and I feel very happy. We then move to a table outside a nearby restaurant. M starts drawing with charcoal on a piece of paper. She's drawing me as I looked when I was a baby. I see that she also has a drawing of my brother J as a baby. The drawings are very good, they look like photograhps. M then attempts a portrait of me then and there, but she can't even draw an oval for the head shape. It looks like a child's drawing. She shrugs and proceeds to show me som of her other drawings. There is one of her old professor, one of some girls from high school and one of a lecture hall from my time at uni. The last one is moving and colored, and I feel myself getting dragged in - the dream slipping out of control. I wake up.

2. Garble, Random Violence, TotM-failX2 and Flying.
I enter the dream already lucid. Its the same cityscape I just left, only more empty and the buildings look more 2D. My friend M is still there, but more as a comforting presence. I leave her still drawing at the table, and go across the street, where I see around 6 DCs benched around a wooden table. I join them with the intention of completing the TotM, which I remember (falsely of course) to be "speak garble to a DC and record their reaction". I start to introduce myself to a DC like this: "Hello, I'm floobbydy quaklik saddadink kong long" or something like that. To my surprise the DC gamely responds in the same fashion. Only he is shouting and gesturing wildly, as if he is doing sign language at the same time. The other DCs start doing the same around me, and I get a little intimidated. So I decide to hit the nearest one hard on the head with my knuckles! This makes him very aggressive, and he graps me.
I decide that now is the time to fullfill the goal I have set for my next LD (levitating) and kick off from the ground. I fly a some 8 metres into the air, but the DC is still clinging to my feet! I'm getting a bit desperate as he starts to climb up my body, but I can't kick him off. I then get the great idea to imagine my body completely covered in olive oil. One of the DC's hands immediately slips off my leg, but the other is grapping my pants. I'm so slippery that my pants fall clean off and disapear together with the DC. As I'm floating pants-less in the air it occurs to me to finish another TotM, namely being naked in front of a crowd of DCs (this is also not a TotM, I think it is an old one). But then I wake up.

3. The Crazy Lady's Ark and the Creepy Horror Show. Oh and another TotM fail.
I enter the dream somewhat lucid. Lucidity fluctuates though, and my dream control is very bad. I am standing in front of a house. The dream scene looks like a high-end american suburban neighborhood with mansion-like houses. On the porch of the house a crazed looking young woman is standing. I glimpse some movement behind her, but it is difficult to see. I study my hands to stabilise, but it only works for a moment. The crazed lady is chasing some teenagers away who apparently wanted to explore "the haunted house". I am suddenly in the house. I see several fiery ghosts surrounding the crazed lady, and I get a flashback to her past, where I see her burning her entire family alive.
(Memory gap)
I am still in the house, but it looks like my old elementary school. The hallway is filled with all kinds of animals. I realise, that the crazed lady is building Noa's Arc Vol. 2. Suddenly the animals start moving towards me, towards the doorway. They seem to be more or less floating as an unstoppable fleet. I almost get eaten by a giant shark. I have to press myself into a corner to avoid getting squashed by the giant polar bear. When all the animals are gone, only the crazed lady and I are left in the hallway. I look out the window and see some pigs and goats and two little white lamb. I ask the lady: "Aren't those animals going too?" She looks at me and gravely says "God doesn't like those kind of animals". I convince her to bring them anyway.
(Memory gap)
I'm outside the house. It's dark and I can't stabilise the dream. I feel close to waking up. I decide to change the dreamscape and try for the TotM challenge of creating my own never-seen-before plant (which is actually the TotM). I start spinning very fast while keeping my eyes open. I imagine a simple white room with a window and a potted plant.
What I get is a vivid, dark and very creepy dreamscape that looks like a part of my parent's farm. This one feels more stable. I'm in front some old buildings which aren't in use anymore. There is a big full moon which casts a creepy light on the roof and the road in front of the buildings, but I am standing in the shadows. Suddenly I feel something disgusting brush by me. I grab it and throw it into the moon-illuminated road. It is a slimy pale human leg somehow attached to half a human brain. The brain has a long slimy flesh cord dangling from it. It is utterly disgusting I walk away from the thing and then I see a grey stallion rearing in front of the full moon (classic!).




But then I encounter two little creepy turkey/chicken. They are small and fat and have the faces of old women. They look evil, so I decide to go around the buildings to look for something for my plant. I find a garden with a lot of strange, bulging and glistening vegetables. They look promising, but when I get closer I see that most are halfway covered in greenish blue mold. I don't want to touch that! But I find a small vegetable that looks like a cross between a tomato and a sharon fruit. I pick it, and then I wake up at a table in another dream. I see a lady who looks like a 80ies aerobics instructor. I tell her "you are a very good dream coach! I just had my third LD in a row!" She is impressed and replies "Wow, that's crazy, have you told the intern yet?" And then I wake up for real.

These were my dreams from this morning. The first, which I remember almost nothing about, solely consisted of me texting a friend while sitting in bed. Something caused me to wake up and I saw that I still had a little more than an hour before my alarm would go off, so I attempted a WBTB.

I remember I was in a car with Sam and Dean from Supernatural, with possibly one other person. We stopped somewhere to eat I think, and at some point, I acquired a flash of lucidity. I got a little too excited and closed my eyes, very nearly waking myself up right there, but I just relaxed and visualized the setting of the dream and managed to stabilize it. I got back in the car with everyone else and started driving when I got the idea to just make the car fly like the way John flew the car in Homestuck. I imagined the car lifting off like a plane as I drove on the road, and it did start to lift a bit, but then a tornado appeared in front of us and lifted us up, although I still had complete control over the car and apparently the tornado. I commented that it was like The Wizard of Oz and cackled like a witch on purpose, then the dream or my recall skipped again. Still lucid, I was in a city at night standing in the street. I looked up into the sky determined to fly again and jumped. It was a bit difficult and I gained altitude pretty slowly, but I spread my arms, visualized rising up like an eagle riding a hot updraft (visualizing seems to really help when I'm trying to exert control), and flew up and over a bridge. Some of the birds who were up there squawking and chirping at me, so I jokingly squeaked and chirped back. I got the feeling that we actually understood each other, and eventually I landed on a rooftop garden courtyard thing.

I believe I lost lucidity at this point, and there were a lot of kittens laying around in this courtyard that led down into an apartment. Most of them ignored me, until I walked down into the apartment a bit. I was afraid to proceed too far into the apartment for fear of getting caught, but then a few cats meowed and jumped onto me. They weren't hurting me, but they wouldn't let go and were basically just trying to weigh me down. I tried climbing back up the stairs but so many jumped on me I collapsed. I wasn't exactly afraid, they were just kittens after all, but I was a bit annoyed and I kept struggling until I woke up.

My dream from Thursday morning has almost no recall at all. I remember there was a notebook with things written in it that I was reading. Apparently I learned some interesting psychological test you could perform on two people, so I had them try it in this notebook. Basically what you did was have them anonymously write notes to each other, and it tested their compatibility or something weird like that. I remember that I tested my roommate James with some guy named Franklin, and I tested a friend from high school named Jerri-Ann with Abby, another friend of mine. I have something written in my notes about a succubus, but I don't remember it at all, and there was some white-haired green-eyed girl who was somehow relevant to the dream. I also wrote that I was "hired" for something but I have no clue what.

Sadly, most details from this dream I had Wednesday morning are gone, but it gets worse as the week progresses. I vaguely remember seeing some cowboys in a Wal-Mart that looked more like a glorified gas station, and there was something about two teams, one of which I was on, who were competing. We had some kind of rpg setup and leveling system, and apparently one of the ways we could gain experience was by destroying things in the Wal-Mart. I remember wandering the aisles with some kind of lightsaber and breaking a few things, turning to fight the people on the other team periodically.

I haven't been keeping up with my dream journal this week cuz I've been kinda busy with homework, and honestly, being a bit lazy. I did keep notes, but I did notice a slight drop in my recall because I wasn't making entries properly. However, I got to top off the week with another lucid, so I'd say it was WERTH. Here's my dream from Tuesday.

I was in a strange water park which consisted of random slides and porcelain surfaces and tubs that were incredibly bouncy (the surfaces resembled the material the slides are made of in the picture). I was enjoying myself and possibly talking to someone as I slid around and bounced high into the air. At some point I obtained a large back of chips (the kind with multiple types individually wrapped inside the large bag), and I stumbled upon a hole with water flowing into it made of a similar material, so I slid down it with my chips. I ended up trapped in a chamber with bloodstains on the floor and walls with several other trapped people, who were apparently starving. Two grabbed me and pulled me to the wall, while the rest converged on the bag of chips and tore into them.

The dream skips a bit and I remember being on a sloped rocky hill, chasing "some villain" who resembled Loki. I could see his health bar in the corner of my "HUD," and he was poisoned and almost dead as I snuck up behind him, whittling his health down with the poison and my strikes. He eventually collapsed, and next I was looking down upon Summoner's Rift from League of Legends, as if I was playing, but I was also one of the characters. I was face-checking the brush at top lane when I was ambushed by Darius and Mundo. I don't remember the details, but I ended up killing both of them with a little health remaining.

I have just waken up from a 5 hour sleep, I sit there and decided I wanted to try and have an OBE and with in 2 mins I was knock out again. That's when I realize I was no longer lying down on my bed I was standing up at the front door of my Father room. I check my hands to confirm if this was a dream or was awake or having an OBE. I had 5 fingers however I felt very dizzy as if I was swaying from both sides while standing up. The room look real however I wasn't fully convince I was awake in real life so I decided to jump and when I did I began to hover on the ceiling. Once that happen I confirm that I was dreaming, I decide to leave my Father room and go through the living room to go upstairs. As I went upstairs the dizziness began to increase as it overwhelm me enough to fall down. I manage to make it upstairs and decide to go in my mother room. It look the same and no one seem to be in the house. So I decided to open up the curtains and it show the sky was grayish clouded but bright as if sun was litting out from them. I wanted to go outside now so I attempt to go through the wide window however it push me back . I was wondering why all my lucid dreams don't let me go through things all the time. I left my Mother room and could tell the dizziness was going to take me out of the dream. I jump over the stairs and land gently on the ground. That's when I look at the sofa and tried to change it's color however as it change to stripe orange my arm froze and then everything else froze. I couldn't move and knew the dream was over. Lucidity Time : 2 mins
