Background: This was very close to morning. All my dreams are tier 1, in other words, they make sense. And after settling down and examining this one it made complete sense. Doesn't mean it didn't bother me.

Also, I know this was a ridiculous dream, feel free to laugh at me.

Dream: So, when Marvel was filming the first Avengers movie they were in my town. I had quite a bit of serious stuff going on in my personal life and really couldn't have cared less, despite being a huge comic book nerd and not (at that time) being obsessed with one of the actors as I am now. By the time I saw the movie in the theater it finally dawned on me how wonderful this guy was. At one point in the movie, I recognized where he was and it dawned on me that I had walked in that same place about a dozen times and had been close by and could have seen him. Frequently. It was about that time I started beating myself up about this. Of course, I let it go and tried to move on despite my obsession. I saw pics of this actor on set at his new movie yesterday and then last night (or rather, this morning) had a nightmare that he was filming another movie in town and this time it was in my backyard (we have a very picturesque location), but something was keeping me from seeing him (important classes, work, something). It was so frustrating, I felt like I was missing out on meeting my soul mate...for the second time.

I just want to note that this has been the most amount of LD back to back for me in a week. I nearly had one LD a day, except for yesterday and today. I also had the worst dream recall for yesterday and today. And I am having hard time stabilizing but in time it will be ok.

For me in the future if I struggle to have a LD and for others that might want to try it.

To put it simple I get a LD passively. During the day while I think about LD and at night, I tell myself I might have a LD today, or I might not, but I want to remember my dream. I see LD as a gift from my subconscious mind, so when I have one it is special to me.

During the day as I walk in school, I try to do All day Awarness. Link: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...kingyoshi.html
I also act very curious. If I think something is strange I do a RC and I investigate. I would mess with objects as if it was a dream expecting it to do crazy things. After doing that I tell myself "next time I am dreaming I will realize that I am dreaming"

I do WBTB and I stay up for 1hr -2hr. I also noticed that I had LD around 5am, if I go to sleep at 8 and WBTB at 2 or 3, then I go back to sleep around 3-4.

I meditate before going back to sleep, some 10 min meditation on breath. I listen to my favorite music. Then I tell myself "the next thing I see is a dream" I say this until I go to sleep. I keep in mind that I may not have a LD but that I definatly want to remember my dream I also put myself in a slightly awkward position. First while listening to music I would be in the most position like on my belly with my hands at my side. Then I move my hands up in a nice comfortable position that could make it easier to fall asleep faster. This helps in making the last thought about dream.


-Re (4/26/14): I always think I got my mind figured but once I think I do, I realize I don't. Ld went down this week(4/20-4/26). There is just so much thing that can effect LD.

Dream fragment 2 time 5:20-5:50am"":
I was in my house and they were lots of kids running around. Their faces changed slightly. I thought that is strange this must be a dream.

I didn't want them to know that I am Lucid so I started making random noises. I rubbed my hands as I walked away. I did a nose plug to check and it worked. I could feel air go through my hands. I walked over and saw my grandma playing with the kids. My dad praying as usual. And a man from church just sitting there. I asked where is BS. They told me he is outside. I told them that i will go get him. I walk out and I see the night sky. I never flew at night in a dream I thought. This is my chance. I flew incredibly fast. I saw this orange glowing church. I went to it. And I saw that it was made out of cardboard box 2D.
First thought was "you never go out, so you can't get a 3-dimensional image of the building." As I was contemplating a lesson from the dream. I woke up. It is true. I wish I could change that but I got school to worry about. Hopefully in the summer I have some fun.

I see building falling and hitting the water. The water raised and created a tsunami. It went towards the city. I hear music from the world that fit perfectly for the action. I watched as people desperately tried to outrun it. I was dramatic, screaming, "no, no don't try and out run it climb something" I see this women climbing a parking lot building with ease. She managed to get across 3 stories in a couple of seconds. I am screaming, "You go girl". I realized that I was on an Ipad. My sister's friends are laughing at me because of how seriously I took it.

I was now in some house with some people. We were talking and stuff. It had dark lighting and I started rubbing my hands. I look around and I noticed that the environment started coming into focus.

I realized it was a dream and told the people I was sitting with that I have to leave. The girl was very upset with me because I was leaving early. The guy left to go use the bathroom. I know that most of the time when I go towards darkness. Out of fear I tried to stabilize. I started rubbing my hands. Nothing I still felt like I was about to wake up. I walked around and looked at the people. I was at some bar. I started to do spinning technique and they looked at me weird. I walked into the lightly lit place and it made me feel happy. I walked into the darkness and it made me feel sad. I then heard *beep beep I woke up It was my parents making food in microwave. It served as an alarm.

Dream fragment 3 time 4:07am-5:20am"":
I drove past an accident. A van hit another van and one of them went into a ditch and couldn't get out. The driver laughed at him and left. I see a man on a motorcycle that saw it. He sees a cop nearby. He drives up to him and jumps off the bike. The cop was taking off his helmet. He wasn't prepared for the motorcycle. Out of fear the cop took out a baton and beat the man. The man tried to explain to him what happened and pleaded for the cop to stop. The cop stopped hitting him when they noticed a building's on fire. The motorcyclist jumps right in. He opens one of the lockers inside the school and found this child inside. The child had shorts on, mushroom haircut and a dirty shirt. They praised the motorcyclist for saving the kid.

I walked back inside the building after the fire has subsided. I go inside and I open the locker, and I see this old man pale dead inside. They looked stiff as if they have been stuffed. I then see another and another. A man was at the door. I asked him how could they do this to a human being legally? He said "they could only do it if they do it legally". I thought oh that makes sense only if it is legal. As I was walking out the school. The child showed up and walked inside. The father was screaming saying who let my child enter the building. He is screaming about how he is traumatized. I walked inside and he said, "thank you for saving me, (in a deep voice), BUT IT IS NOT ME THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE SAVED."

It became clear the little boy was behind the killings. He levitated knives and threw it. I started running. Their was this green and purple monster with him. As I was running kid said in distorted voice, "what's the matter?!". I then said I don't want to watch this movie any more I don't want to have a bad dream about it. I woke up.
I see these two people sitting down talking about the "movie". They argued, "why would the child kill all those people" said the cowboy, the other one said it is because he is evil". I realized it was a dream and I started to rub my hands. I went to the void. I woke up again. I see the two people upon seeing them I became lucid again.

One of them says to another, "he is not evil", the monster came out of the closet, and disappeared. It became pitch black again. I was angry that I ended up at VOID. I then hear a voice the monsters, "Prove to me that the boy wasn't evill all along" he said this to the cowboy.

The environment changed. I was at my school. I was upset and angry that a DC has more power than me. I wanted him to understand his place. So, I levitated him and threw him. He pounded me. I levitated him again and tossed him, and again. He said stop it and transformed into a small fly. I told him to watch himself. The cowboy and the other guy started flying. The monsters were right behind, as fly. I then followed them. I flew close to the trees without touching them. I was happy that I could have this level of control. I landed to stabilize. When I started to spin my body around, the dream started transforming. I see geometric pattern. So I started to rub my hands and it started coming into focus. I see these children in a red and black spectra.

They had weird geometric patterns on them. And finally it was cartoon. I see the kid walking to a girl. He asks her to dance with him. She says ok. They started dancing innocently. The other children started pointing and saying how could she be with him. She didn't mind at first. Then she started moving away from him. The scene started getting dark. I see the kid looking down at the ground sad and angry, alone.

Not an exciting Lucid.
Dream fragment time 2:20am-3:12am"":
I was walking down a hill and I realized that my body teleported from one location to another.

I said this is a dream. The moment I said that it started to destabilize. I kept telling myself dreams are important too don't think it isn't. It was still fading. So I started rubbing my hands. It went pitch black, VOID. I kept rubbing my hands knowing that i am still in dream. I feel my body rotating in circles. Finally a scene forms and I walk into it.

I see a mother and her daughter walking with groceries in their hands. The weird thing was that they were purple and made of clay. I hear the daughter ask the mom if ghosts are real. The mom tells her ghosts demons and entities are real. Since the dream was most stable around them I followed them, like a ghost. They didn't see me. I went into their house. They no longer were purple and everything looked realistic. I see these cameras everywhere. I see a man seated it on the computer as if he is in charge of surveillance. The mom took her child in a small opening in the floor. I thought I am here to teach them something. I hate surveillance so I used telekinesis.

I saw the cameras, some were made into stuffed animals such as a bear. I clinched my hands and the bear started to crumble like clay. I then did the same to the others, except they crubmbled like metal. And just for the fun of it, I levitated objects around the man on the computer. He looked very annoyed by me. I then saw these women. I levitated both of them, both fat BTW. I didn't notice the kids on their laps. I levitated them back down gently. The little girl said, "Yoda!!". I started laughing. I then got the mother that hid underground. I put them together and I told them that this isn't the way to raise a child under extreme surveillance. I told them that is what the government want them to do. It makes it easier to spy on their family. They shook their head scared. I let them go.

I started levitating an object in midair spinning it around. It looked cool. I realized that I am getting distracted and remember what I wanted to do. I decided to leave. As I was walking out. I looked at their bathroom window. I see red and blue lights flashing. I thought dam they called the cops on me. I opened the window of the bathroom, and tried to fly. I lost lucidity and fell towards the ground. I landed on a truck. I got up and kept telling myself this is a dream. I couldn't move my body though. I was aware though. They took me for a ride.

I lost lucidity and they took me to some military facility and armed me. The moment they gave me a gun, it was like the games I played kicked in. I automatically shot most of their soldiers. After that Sargent showed up and stopped me. He said congratulations you passed. I was confused because I killed most of their best man. They started disappearing, it was just holograms. I realized it was a dream and told myself to wake up.

Dream fragment 1 time 4:31am-5:40am"":
I landed from an airplane and we went inside of a store. I was with 3 other people. We were just looking around. For some reason it clicked.

I thought this is a dream. First thing I did was rub my hands to stabilize. I looked at them they were about to rob a store. I didn't want to be part of their plan so I told them I will be right back. I walk through the door and they followed me. It took me to a restaurant instead of outside. It was a Texas based restaurant, it had horns of cows. I did a spin technique because I worried about dream collapsing and waking up. It stabilized. I then noticed that there was graffiti on the wall. I did a spin and it changed and I did it again it changed. I thought what if I wake up while doing the spin technique, so I woke up.

Note: Bodily, I'm male and heterosexual. I don't mind the idea of being female, though.

I was in a building and a guy started hitting on me, I think. Later we were in a restroom and he was sitting on a toilet. He wanted to have sex with me and I didn't, Then he literally went down the toilet and the water was red. I then opened the restroom door and said to his African-American father, "Your son just went down the damn toilet." And then I thought of trying to find him somehow.

UPDATE, 16/December/2014: I did not find him when I searched.

I was doing snooze DIELDs again, but the final time I woke a man was laying near by looking at me. His body was stretched out across a chair. I did not move and he became a baby seal. I was pretty much awake. The seal then became my coat bunched upon the chair.

I'm in a castle, apparently I'm the owner, even if it seems I don't know every inch of it.
I'm wandering up some stairs, looking for someone.
Then I see a door and I suddenly remember that I have to take out the dogs.
So I look for the keys in my pockets and I can't believe how much keys there are in there.
I open the door and there is a labrador, waiting for me just behind the door. I ask him if he is ready to go out and he gets up and caresses my leg with his head.
We go in a open space (always in this castle). I struggle to find the right way, but the dog helps me.
The dog plays a while, then he makes me know that he is ready to go back in his room.
Then we go back for the same road and the happy dog comes back in his home.
I open another door. Another dog waiting for me. I ask if he wants to go out and he says that he doesn't feel like (HE TALKS TO ME). So I close the door and go ahead opening new doors, and asking all the dogs in the different rooms if they are ready.
There are a lot of dogs. Big ones, little ones, all the breeds, all the colors.
It seems all the dogs own a room and live there alone. I'm a guardian and they can go out only with me, but they are not in a prison.
Some of them are waiting for me and get crazily happy when I come, other dogs are tired and unwillingly follow me, others say 'no' or hide behind sofas to make me understand that they don't want to go out.
Every time I go through the same road and every time I feel safer.
After a lot of time doing the same thing, it's time to eat and I go in the kitchen to prepare the food for MY dog (my real dog) and I think there no food for all the dogs, so I prepare littler rations.
Then I write in a note attached to the refrigerator that I have to buy more meat.
I look at my hand as I'm writing and there is something I'm forgetting to write. Or it's about my hand. WAKING UP!

Was in normal dream and was in a racquetball court when I saw a person and touched their shoulder. I came to realize I was dreaming and started a LD. Quickly I decided to go OOB and as soon as I did this I felt a huge vibration come over my body and my focal point shifted back to my bedroom. I was in the fetal position and I was buzzing. I was like "Oh shit!" and I began to roll myself over into myself laying on my back. The funny thing was is that it felt like I physically did this which made me feel like I wasn't deep enough to get out. As soon as I got on my back I tried reaching up with my mind. I grabbed a rope and pulled myself up into the sitting position. Now I violently tried to get up and was pulling and even I think using my feet to push. It almost felt like I was a dog on a VERY SHORT chain and I was running around like chicken with my head cut off to get away. Then, I popped out. I went into my living room and floated towards the window. I put my hands out like superman and went through it. Now I was outside my house and actually aware! Wow! I decided to go up the block and I was thinking about going into someone's house to see if I could see anyone. Instead I went towards some people I saw playing basketball at their house. I remember getting really close to them and they almost looked at me as if they could sense me but not see me. This happened many times through this state. Shortly after being there for a little bit I decided to move on. This got a little vague but I ended up in like a YMCA or community center. I moved around did a few things(vague). Then I saw an India couple and it looked like she was doing yoga. I got close and it seemed like I got sensed. Over and over through this experience I kept saying clarity now. There was more to this but it was quickly forgotten. This was my longest ever experience.

Prior to this I was in a normal dream. I remember being in a room. It was filled with water. Like completely. Now I realize that my room is like a HUGE aquarium. There are fish swimming around and I remember going to one side of the room that seemed to be missing the sand on the bottom. There were no fish over on this side. It was weird though because all of the stuff that would normally be in a room was submerged in the water. I remember seeing one of those bubblers producing air bubbles in the water. I was nervous of there being a leak. I then traveled down some hallways that were also submerged in water. Now it almost seemed like I was in the YMCA hallways or something. I looked in a few of the windows on adjacent doors. People were inside some of them. Then I decided to go into one. That was the one that kicked off my lucid dream above.

ARRIGHT I'm awake wow I'm tired of being sick ugh why now my throat hurts this is lame I can't go back man I CAN'T GO BACK TO BEING SICK LIKE I WAS

...

man exercising was such a dumb idea. making myself write out my dream even though I don't feel like it to build character.

Dream 1 - Ben's Home, Betas
I like that title because it sounds like I'm either lazily listing the things that happened in the dream, or I'm telling some fish that Ben's home.

SO LET'S SEE first thing that happened was Ben arrived back from college on a bus. It was summer-ish and when he got off the bus we headed across a grassy field together where some older peeps were throwing a football around or something. They seemed to be people I'd used to look up to as the older people back in youth group, now post-college but apparently not too different from how they used to be or from how I would tend to view them. They said somethin' about Ben being back, and I tried to respond in a confident but sort of comedic voice which in the end just sounded strange and high to me. I was tryin' to be confident with what I said too, but I think it fell sort of flat like it tends to do.

Anyway I didn't dwell on that too long, and Ben and I wandered into this odd little ... secluded area on the other side of the field, directly across from where the bus had dropped him off. There was a pond with some piled stones serving as a boundary, and something was blocking out the sun and making it feel a little closed-in and quiet, but I'm not totally sure it was trees. Could've been stone walls.

Now HERE it was winter and the pond was partially frozen-over. It may have been flooded as well, because there were frozen beta fish chilling on the grass, three of 'em, all perhaps ten times the size of a normal beta fish. I reached for one, but it swam back to the pond somehow. The other two appeared more incapacitated, but after reaching under one to pick it up and consequently feeling its incredibly delicate jaw bone, I figured it would be best to not mess with 'em.

Dream 2 - Band's Back
wow just typing that made me feel some anxiety OH WELL LET'S DO THIS

First of all I was apparently on a journey to who knows where. As a result, I discovered a particularly talented singer, a girl from some school who I took back home with me. She then became part of our reformed band, now directed by mom and, as usual, featuring my sister and brother (still home from college).

At first I think I was just singing harmonies or playing guitar or somethin', but then Mom decided that I should be the one to sing the chorus. My first reaction was to protest while trying out my voice and realizing how pitchy I was. Then I actually gave it a fair shot, but the lyrics which the girl had sung so easily were considerably more difficult for me to do. For some reason there were always too many syllables in whatever line I was trying to sing, and with each line I grew more and more frustrated. Ben, meanwhile, seemed to be derisive of my struggles, like maybe I was just making it hard on myself by not really trying to figure out how it worked, and Jess didn't seem to care either way.

So it culminated with me storming off. Mom went with me and I ended up shouting at her something like, literally, "I've already tried this s**t before!". It was bleeped out and everything. Also some part of my mind was noticing that I was shouting louder than I'd ever shouted in my life, like there wasn't enough of my voice to get across just how much I hated all of this.

Long story short, though, I ended up wandering back to try again. And then Ben was Sam from Supernatural, which wasn't too different apparently. And then he got hit by a car or something. We weren't too concerned, but we did monitor him afterwards to see whether anything was different. He started painting decals on the walls, which was normal, but we paid close attention to the design choices. They all turned out car-related somehow which we took as a sign of something. And then I think I woke up.

April 19, 2014 Dream #2: A dilapidated car pulls aggressively into our semi-circular driveway at our current home in ********. My 26 year old son Scott is casually lying down on his right side in the driveway, and the car containing at least one angry man (the driver) goes around and behind him, stopping abruptly. I grab at Scott's shirt dragging him upwards and order him to get up. I insist he stand up and take a defensive posture. The driver’s window is open and I very calmly and diplomatically approach and address him. I observe a second man is present in the rear seat immediately behind the driver on the same side of the car as I am standing. He is Caucasian and needs a shave, but doesn’t appear to be particularly animated or angry, nor does he make any move towards getting out of the car.

The driver does not get out either. He goes from being Afro-American initially, to being Caucasian when I look back to him after scrutinizing the passenger in the rear seat. The driver starts asking me questions about “Scott’s sister" (A**** my daughter). He wants to know if she is taking Ambien. I start to tell them there must be some kind of mistake in identity because my daughter is living in South Korea (as she is in reality) and they couldn't possibly know of her or be the subject of their anger, but Scott does not want me to tell them any details about her. I wake.

April 19, 2014 Dream #1: I am at my ancestral home in *******, New York. I am quite young, perhaps ten years of age, as is my younger sister Joanne, who is the only other dream character present. We are each mulling about at the top of the three step concrete stoop that leads to our home. I decide to peel off an improbably long piece of black electrical tape from a roll I am holding. I throw it towards the M****r’s yellow and white split level home all the way across the street, where somehow it adheres diagonally across their entire home at an angle from 11:00 to 5:00. The roll of tape is now virtually empty, but the cardboard inner roll in my right hand now appears to be unusually wide - about three inches. It has about 3/4 of a turn of tape left, and I throw that towards the house also. It ends up where the M****r's driveway meets the house.

Suddenly I am concerned that I will get in trouble for what I’ve done. I usher my sister into the house and shut off the lights so no one can see us. When the lights are off on our side of the street the interior lights of the M****r’s home are readily apparent. Through the glass covered windows and doors I can see the interior of much of their home, their lamps, furnishings and rugs. No one from their family is silhouetted against the windows or doors inside looking out, and I conclude no one saw that it was me that threw the tape and near-empty roll onto their property. I wake.

Last night, I set an alarm at 3.30 am to attempt a DEILD. The alarm is very gentle and I made it turn itself off after a minute. It woke me up as expected, but my first reflex was to switch it off. I quickly remembered my goal and prevented myself from moving too much. I lied on my back and waited for the alarm to shut up.

When it did, I was feeling really groggy and thought it would be easy to get into a dream. Suddenly I was worried that maybe it was too early and I would still enter a deep sleep state, therefore making the whole thing unworthy. Despite my efforts to stay awake, I soon lost consciousness and woke up at 8 am with only a small fragment of a dream in mind. And as far as I can tell, I wasn't lucid in it. Dammit.

Needless to say, any advice is most welcome
