    1. "Mind over stabilization" 04/13/14

      by , 04-19-2014 at 08:07 PM (A Dreamer's Dreams)
      Journal Entry Lucid #24 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 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.

    2. 19/April/2014: There goes the homosexual.

      by , 04-19-2014 at 07:33 PM
      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.

    3. Waking with strong H.I.

      by , 04-19-2014 at 06:35 PM (Cities in the Astral)
      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.

    4. Dogs in my castle

      by , 04-19-2014 at 06:04 PM
      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!

    5. OOB/Lucid

      by , 04-19-2014 at 04:16 PM
      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.

    6. Morning - Non-lucid

      by , 04-19-2014 at 03:28 PM (Dream Dream Dream Dream Dream Dream)
      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.

    7. Angry Men in a Car

      by , 04-19-2014 at 02:49 PM
      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.

    8. Youthful Dream Shenanigans

      by , 04-19-2014 at 02:37 PM
      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.

    9. Failed DEILD attempt turned into poor recall

      by , 04-19-2014 at 02:10 PM
      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

    10. 2 dream fragments.

      by , 04-19-2014 at 02:08 PM
      2 nights in a row with recall, what's happening!

      Anyway my first dream is in my classroom, the lesson is history.
      But our classroom was so laid back, if you've seen the wolf of Wall Street, just think how relaxed and laid back that workplace was, well this was like it, but without the strippers and drugs of course.

      I was with my friends at my table, we also had a teacher on it, probably an assistant teacher, but he was really cool wouldent tell anyone off or anything. He came over and said something to me and I jokingly said "That's what she said..." And we both laughed.

      But our real teacher wasn't laid back at all, she gave my friend Charlie NINE warnings, I had 2 and Charlie had NINE. One of the times I took Charlie's chair and he got the blame for it. So that's fragment one.

      Fragment 2 was near to when I woke up. So it's after school, and normally every one goes to the nearby shops. That was the same in my dream. I see most people in my year outside the shops. I overhear something about a prank call, then the hurdle of my year starts running across the road, me and 2 friends decide to follow them, we try to work our way through the cars. I nearly got run over and my friend advised to wait and not to rush.

      We finally make it across the road and were running over to the group of people, when we have arrived the person has already done the prank call, and everyone's heading back to the shops. I see them all going into someone's house so I follow them, One of them tries to lock me out jokingly but I make my way through, and the rest of the dream is me waiting inside for it to be half past so I can get the bus to home.
    11. Dream journal about a dream with a dream journal

      by , 04-19-2014 at 12:51 PM
      Night of 4/18/14
      In bed from 11:09 to 7:40

      Dream 1

      Late to meeting because I was in the pisser.
      Wouldn't stop pissing
      Unusual flow
      Towards the end it was a wide and heavy mist, it also came out as a brown paste

      In meeting. My writing was not what they wanted. It had no cohesion and no ending

      I said it didn't need to be; I thought I was supposed to write about my dreams. I was really angry

      Tldr: nutty piss and I turned in a dream journal as my assignment.

      Dream 2 (fragment)

      Outside was flooded, I was at the back deck of my house with my family fishing. The water level was just below the deck. I caught a few fish.
    12. 00:00 Saturday 2014-04-19 LDs #31, #32

      by , 04-19-2014 at 11:27 AM
      23:00 bedtime

      00:00 Saturday 2014-04-19

      05:07

      + LD #31 I find myself suddenly standing within a huge empty stone rectangular empty quarry like a huge pool, I knew this location was not possible to be in, and that just before I was somewhere else, and I could not be here now so I must be dreaming. No memory after that point, probably woke up. Didn't record at first, probably from earlier waking, remembered this at this (05:07) waking.

      + with wife in a rich neighbourhood talking about all the rich ladies, and how they played tennis so I told her she'd have to play tennis now, too. I make a comment with some numerical statistics (rate of higher education degrees of the lades in the neighborhood?) and a group of neighborhood rich women are walking by, my wife immediately goes up to one and says "my husband says <some numerical statistic> about you" I feel really embarrassed, but the woman thoughtfully stops and says something like "yes that's about right."

      + on a grassy hillside in the sunshine with rich people they're parting and drinking. There are picnic blankets spread out here and there. Suddenly it's like a movie fade/transition to the same scene some time later, my vision is all blurry and I think this is because I'm seeing the scene being drunk after having drunk for a while. Someone makes a comment about people's dirty butt cheeks wiping on the picnic blankets that explains why the blankets have become all crusty.

      + Introduction of a sidekick for a famous TV talk show host. He shows up and he's auditioning. He's standing right in front of me (inside a room in front of a window?), I see his face clearly and his hair he's kind of funny looking. He starts talking immediately and makes an improvised funny statement about some (rock band?) and some guy, I'm impressed by his cleverness. This is what he does on the show, me makes clever off-hand improvised remarks before the cut to commercial.

      Then I see the "show" live. It's outside on a city street. A film crew is on my side of the street the "show" is on the other side, the sidekick guy is in his "place," which is standing out the ledge outside a first story window (his feet are about 5-6 feet above street level) with his back against the two-pane (upper/lower) window. I think that's a pretty uncomfortable spot to have to stand for the whole show and think it's pretty funny. He's been the good friend and partner of the talk show host ever since, for a long time.

      The sidekick's name is something like "Ralph Michaels."

      Looking through another window where the "show" sidekick is standing, I see people inside working like at a software company, a woman is standing and (facing the window and thus me) writing something on a transparent "white board," I see the marks she's making and I hear the sqeauk squeak squeak of the marker on the board. The a big fat guy come forward and starts talking and it's like a commercial for the company,

      ------------------
      Was very awake at this point. Was awake in bed for a while, decided might as well WBTB properly. Got up for water/bathroom, sat on the edge of the bed for a while, thinking about the dreams, deciding I should go back to bed and resolve to recognize my dreams. Ended up thinking for a while about some of the correspondence chess games I'm playing. Bad idea, kept me awake. Decided to completely let go and aim for sleep, as I only had about 1.5 hours left in the night before the alarms would be going off.

      08:37

      + at work, I had a huge desk (2 meters wide by 1 meter deep at least), I had two desk phones on the left side of the desk otherwise it was mostly empty on top. I could see beneath the top covering of the desk some pattern like computer printed circuit cards. I receive a call on my phone I see the name on the caller ID I don't answer it but realize it was a guy I wanted to talk to. I make a call? I receive another call which I answer and there is a deep male voice there asking who it was just called him, I'm a bit confused I say it might have been me but it must have been a wrong number, sorry. I stand up and recognize a (real memory) former colleague walking by me, he does a slow big walking circle (counter clockwise) around my desk without stopping. I say "wow this company must be really big because I haven't run in to you for a long time. What are you working on these days?" His answer, something like "the graph system is close to working."

      I enter the area behind my desk (to my back when I'm facing my desk) it is unlit and dark but it's not too hard to see. The area is filled with many rows of desks with computers and lots and lots of people, mostly kids and families, at the computers, they're all full, I'm frustrated because I need to use one of those computer systems the laptop on my desk isn't powerful enough for what I need to do, I say to my manager who's standing right there "with all the kids around I can't use any system."

      There's a group standing there, I notice one older woman looks topless, she's stretching her arms up over her head and I notice an odd large nipple, it's not a pretty sight. I keep looking and she seems to be dressed the more I look.

      There are girls around I notice, I grab one from behind with both my arms around her I think she's slightly trying to pull away at first. I turn her around hoping to see a pretty face and when she's facing me and I see her eyes I kiss her, I feel the familiar "zing" (adrenaline?) and fade quickly to awake.

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

      Lying in bed dozing after the alarms have gone off (I went back to sleep I realized while my wife went in to the shower), I felt very relaxed and saw jumbles of dark color blobs flashing before my eyes, which usually only happens when extremely fatigued and at bed time not waking time. I saw lots of HI / forming dreams. And one of them fully formed:

      + (lucid #32) I realize I'm in a formed dream. It looks like a hospital/medical room. I say "If this is a hospital then a cute nurse will come through that door right now". Right on cue, the door opens and a female nurse comes throutgh the door, and turns to the right and moves on. I get excited from my "wish" coming true and I wake up.

    13. Apr 19: unsatisfying fragments

      by , 04-19-2014 at 06:36 AM
      Date: Apr 19
      Sleep Length: 4.5h + 3.5h (8h)
      Techniques: SSILD + DILD
      I almost accidentally did WILD after I prepared SSILD. I was falling asleep (SP), my mind was still half awake, I could almost enter a dream after I've seen lights and flashes, then I woke up again.
      SSILD failed probably because it took me very long to fall asleep after the cycles (~20 mins) and I have to get used to the situation of getting up at 3:30 and doing meditation
      Dream Summary:
      You can't call that a dream. I simply remember an underground garage and my stepmom
      during SSILD I had one FA (I think). I wasn't really asleep
      Vividness (1-15), Awareness (1-10), Length (min): 0/0/0
      Emotions: none
      Signs: none
      Tags: Underground garage, stepmom

      Note: I drank alcohol before I went to bed (beer and wine), which probably affected my dream recall and sleep
    14. wheelchair

      by , 04-19-2014 at 12:40 AM
      I have had snippets of 2 dreams in the last 2 days about a man in a wheelchair. He has medium length grey hair, cut nicely not at all untidy. I guess he is about 55 to 60 years old. He seems kind and kind of like he is trying to show me something, but I wake up as soon as I see him. Im wondering if this is a DG. I have felt before that a man with similar description was trying to show me around in a dream, kind of a wised old friend as I recall. hmmmm

    15. suddenly sexual, trapped by Miley Cyrus, my soulmate, and a break in

      by , 04-18-2014 at 06:13 PM
      someone was telling me a story or something, and then it turned totally and unexpected sexual. It was nice too. And then they explained to me that it was like a joke of sorts, or satire, but that the sudden change was trying to make a point about something from the past that had been said about them

      I'm in the place and suddenly feel like I'm about to be caught/trapped, so I started busting through windows as the quickest way out. I go through several, and then, I see a change sweep through the room, and that tells me that I've been surrounded by another dimension, and that busting through the windows won't do me any good -- I'm trapped. The person who comes out to see me, who trapped me it seems, is Miley Cyrus. She seems to be there to actually tell me something about my friends, as a help/warning/alarm.

      I have scenes where Jason is a character. He's never manifest present, but I feel like he's all around, and that we are together. I was very nice.

      I'm talking to this group of people, I guess we're all like dead, and I'm saying that the nice thing about emotional pains is that you have a certain element of control. I guess I'm smiling as I say this, and this female is like, why are you smiling, that's some sick twisted shit, like back in the day. I say I guess I'm smiling over the control, the good part, not that one has a problem that needs controlling. She tells me about a problem she has, and my face turns somber -- I point out that I'm not smiling over that.

      This guy is trying to break into some place. He's about to come up this pipe that is jammed open. I want to make the pipe go back down, but it's lodged on some stairs, so it won't go down. Apparently earlier he had done something tricky, and like, gone down the pipe but not all the way, so that when the pipe was raised, it was raised more than it should be since he didn't descend the whole way -- something like that -- which ended up resulting in the jam. He comes up through the pipe and I'm the only one there. He goes over to this pool of water and just absorbs right into it. I think I'm going to follow him, and the water looks ominous, but I do go in and absorb into the water too.

      There are these people being "attended to" by "doctors", though a lot of this seems fairly coerced. The docs are putting this thing down the patients throats, and then it kinda spins and they pull it out, and as it comes out it's not kinda bristly and spirally, like a vacuum brush. It spins very very quickly on the exit, like a drill. I start to get the feeling that this is not good, and I sense that others sense the same thing, and that there is about to be a battle of wills as the patients begin to refuse "treatment"
