07-10-14 No less than 6 LDs this night. I set the alarm for an hour before I had to get up, with a 9 minute snooze I tried DEILD 6 times and 4 of them worked. I just spent the time flirting with sexy female DCs and taking their clothing off. I knew each LD would be short, so I just played around. Lots of fun. I almost stayed in bed longer than I should, as I knew I could have more, but I ended up getting up for work.
07/10/14 After the rest room I tried to WILD and it was swift and easy. I spent much of the dream practicing advanced flying skills. In one part I worked on fine control. I broke out a large window leaving jagged edges of glass. I then practiced floating on my back and feet first. I would navigate in and out of the warehouse through the broken window. In another part of the dream I took a female DC and carried her while flying. I attempted to push the speed up to jet speed while carrying a DC. I determined that it was easiest if I focused on a distant building and was descending rather than climbing in elevation. That makes little sense while awake, but in the dream I was very pleased with myself and kept explaining it to the DC.
July 11, 2014 We Forgot Her! I was on a vacation with my family, but I can't remember where we went. I do know that my cousin was staying with my brothers and me in one house while the adults were in a different house. We'd rented two that were next to each other so we would have enough space for us all. I know I dreamed of things that were happening during the vacation but all I remember was being in a pedestrian mall, looking for a pizza place and the end; We were getting ready to leave, and I went into the house to make sure we had everything and because I hadn't seen my cousin in the car yet. I looked around and didn't see her, so I assumed she was in the car now. I went out, we all got in the car, and headed back home; but about ten minutes into the drive, I realized my cousin actually wasn't there, and I panicked because we had lost her. A Different Vacation I was in the car with my brothers, on the way back from a different vacation. I think we may have been visiting up north. But it was weird, because we picked up Kevin, my big brother's oldest friend who lives down the road from us, and another of his friends, and I got the feeling we were in my neighbor's driveway. But we were coming back to our house. So it was weird. We were on the road; I was sitting in the back of the car, in the seat behind the passenger's side front seat. We were driving, and as we passed some rolling hills with houses on them, and think pine forests, my little brother was pointing out the house our parents had just built. I asked if he was sure that was it, and he said "I'd know that plot anywhere!" I had the impression that it would be a long drive... But I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew, we were already back in town; driving along the road we used to take to get to pre-school. (oh my goodness, I just remember like three really old dreams) Temporary Tattoo Makeup I was getting ready for a class in the morning, but I didn't have a mirror, so putting on my makeup was really difficult. I had decided on the purple sparkly eyeshadow I have for the day. I ended up having to do the makeup on a piece of paper, and then sticking it to my eyes to transfer it, like a temporary tattoo. But I still needed a mirror to make sure I didn't screw it up; so I went into one of the school buildings to try and find a bathroom. But I'm pretty shy about putting makeup on in front of most people, and so I was trying to find either an empty bathroom or a stall with a mirror in it. The first bathroom I went in had a man in it, for some reason (lol, I just remembered another dream where all the toilets in this huge bathroom were massage chairs; they were all out in the open though). The second bathroom didn't have a mirror in it at all, and the third had lots of people in it. I left all the bathrooms and ended up doing my makeup at a table in the room I had classes in, before anyone got there. When someone got there, I asked it my makeup was alright, but I woke up before I got an answer. Dirty Watch I was with my teaching cohort, and we were talking about some adorable little girl who lived on such-n-such street (there was a street name, but I don't remember it). We were all at my house for some reason. One of my classmates, M, was explaining something about the little girl and how she knew it. I remember looking down at my watch, but it had a stain on it and water inside the screen, so it wasn't working... Which puzzles me. It's usually my cue that something is off, making me do reality checks. What would it mean if my dream watch stopped working, I wonder...?
07/10/14 DILD I was lucid for the last few hours of the night. I really need to work on my recall. Each time I got up in the night I considered writing stuff down, but was sure I would remember the dreams. Sure, met with that girl and the guy out side of the school, played that game, screwed around doing those things; sure, I got it, no problem, I will not forget. Yet when I got up for the day I reviewed the dreams and they were less clear. Maybe write them down? No, that is fine, I will remember. Now 12 hours later? All vague and dreamy, lol. In the first half of the night I do clearly remember one amazing sequence. I had been screwing around for some time when I decided to wok on skills. I still have been interested in growing fruit from the sprout to flower, to fruit. I decided to try pumpkins this time. I did it with little to no problem. I focused on the ground and caused vines to sprout and grow with big pumpkin leaves and then flowers. I caused medium sized pumpkins to sprout. Having accomplished that so easily (remember how much work my first tomatoes were?) I decided to play with the plant. I caused each leaf to change into huge lotus leaves, big round leaves the size of garbage can lids. I caused them to swivel around like radar dishes. I then sprouted flowers and caused them to glow amber and look like crystals. At some point I woke up and used the rest room.
07/9/14 DILD I was dreaming when someone offered me a pipe. It was a marijuana pipe. I became lucid as this was out of the ordinary. I have been frustrated by some work issues, so I decided to stay lucid and sit around with the DCs and partying. I inhaled a big toke off the pipe, and actually felt a drug like rush.
Last night I had a very short and strange dream. I was in my living room with a friend, and we were taking hits from a bong while my parents were sleeping. I was getting kind of annoyed that I wasn't getting high after about ten hits, and that's the last thing I could remember. Does anyone know what this could mean?
I'm cool on Buddhism. Where Buddhism calls it "mindfulness", my generation called it "awareness", and, as an ageing hippie, I kept the faith and valued new awareness all my life. Lucid dreams are dreams like the waking world- physical awareness, smells, bodily sensitivity, choice of experience, Consciousness. It's not that regular dreams are not conscious, but that a lucid dream is MORE conscious, as if it were a physical event. I'm not sure how mindful I am in a normal dream. I assume that I am, within the laws of that experience. But in Lucid dreams, I am applying my mindfulness in the same way I apply it in waking consciousness. Because I am taking the waking self into the dream state, with all my beliefs and assumptions, I respond to events from my own beliefs and experiences. I have had lucid dreams that did not include all the baggage I carry in physical life. I have experienced total consciousness without memory of my current life. But I still felt totally, physically aware, not afraid of the tendency of the environment to offer unexpected events, and without a sense of need to control my experience. I've had Lucid dreams where I required control. But the ones where I let my control go seem to be the most interesting.
Dream 1 I'm at my home town, swimming at the old swimming pools. As I'm floating around I think about the chlorine that's in the pool and decide to get out. I see my cousins Trev and Russ in the pool. They're racing other competitors. Trev comes first and Russ comes out not long after in second place. We leave the pools and now in a car with Russ. We're driving down the road near Buddy's lot and Russ tries to pass a car but the man won't give him room, so Russ allows me to veer over instead but the man doesn't do anything. I ask Russ about his preparation of his swimming. He says that he doesn't really prep anymore as he used too, and finds it's just for fun now days. We arrive at a unit and I get told that Dad is inside and is drunk off a six pack with someone. My cousin Maryanne comes over to the car and I see that she has some Ice Creams in her hand. They're magnums. I eat one and decide to go inside the unit. I see the empty bottles of beer and Eddy and Daryl on the couch. They're making up there own ice cream, which looks a little different to normal ice cream. I ask Eddy if he's going to use the chocolate topping and he says yes. I walk over to the stove and notice that Daryl is cooking something. Dream 2 I'm on a space shuttle and it's as if we're playing a game, where we had to hold onto the dragon balls for as long as we could. Well, I think that was the objective. The dragon balls didn't look like the normal dragon balls, there was 2 of them and one was black and other white. The space shuttle looked pretty awesome. It was similar to the inside of the movie Aliens. I think I fought who had the dragon balls. Once I got a hold of them I didn't really have a clue of the power they held and how to use them. I try and put them together and power up for some kind of strike. I get a little response out of he dragon balls but I don't think it was from me, I think it was due to that they were touching each other. I hide in a closet to get away from the enemy but soon after I come out from hiding and notice some of Tammy Clay's underwear. They look like old style jocks and I'm tempted to have a strong whiff and see what she smells like. I soon realise by looking at the score board which I could see in my vision, that there's only myself and 1 other still in the game. Dream 3 Recorded at 9.00am Talking to David at my house and he mentions about when I came back and picked up bottles, he said he farted in them all. I asked him is that why you yelled out "one sec, just giving some pwning" or something on the lines of that. I could see text appear In my vision of that quote he said. David grabs my hands and plays around with me for a second and I tell him careful, due to my hands being a little puffed up in areas. I see Dad pissing in what I thought was Rex's water bowl but instead it was a container the size of a baby pool. After he finished peeing in the pool, he just about to go for a hour long walk down the botanical gardens. As he was leaving I told him if anyone asks who you are, just tell them you're Urie Urine. I think he was going to bathe his feet in the pool when he gets back from his long walk.
Hi. I'm new here. I was drawn to the community because I've always experienced lucid dreaming, even before I read La Berge's book back in the 80's, and also, specifically, because my family often discussed dreams with each other, and we discovered that we dreamed together often, each of us, generally, able to describe the events and individual actions in the dream (though we discovered that sometimes the dream was experienced on different nights!) I'm interested in the idea that dreams are a "place", rather than an individual's private construction, outside the dreaming of others. I have experienced shared dreaming with other's outside my family, all spontaneous, but verified when next I saw them. This is outside the lucid dreaming theme. These dreams might have been the common dream, recalled but not lucid. I have yet to have a lucid, shared dream. In the common dream, sharing might occur, but participants might not remember? Do we all share activity in the dreaming world, and either not remember it or not discuss dreams with them? I don't know, but I'm interested in anyone who has experience with this.
This is like my experience! In one dream, I was going for a walk with my niece. She was six at the time we shared this dream, and in my version, we encountered a big warehouse filled with interesting, museum-like things. Over in a far corner was a playground, complete with swings and slides, and she went there to play while I looked at all the fantastic things elsewhere in the warehouse. Two days later I asked her about her dreams, and she told me about the Carnival we encountered in a park. She said I let her go and ride any ride she wanted while I stayed at the picnic table. She was so pleased to be free to play by herself! I've had four such dreams, where the experience was different, yet alike enough in the basic encounter. I think of a Star Trek scene where Riker and DeAnna Troy beam down to a planet and while they are both together, each experience different environments. In one of my family's shared dreams, we discovered that one brother dreamed it on a different night. Points to the possibility that time doesn't matter in dreaming, and that people might not need to be asleep at the same time HERE, but that it may always be the same time THERE?
I believe that when this life is over, we all meet around the same campfire, no matter who thinks they own it. My attitude toward organized religions. From my viewpoint, it would be mine-but only in respect to me being there. It really doesn't belong to me, either.
