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.

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.

Hey guys! It's been forever since I've been on here, but I feel like it's time to get back into dream journaling.

Lots of things have changed in my life since I was last on here. I am now married, I have a new job, and I have a fairly popular poetry blog on Tumblr (message me if you are interested in reading ).

Since being on here last, I have still had lucid dreams, but not as many, though the ones I have had have actually been quite meaningful. I am delving quite far into spiritual teachings these days, not seemingly able to get enough, and it has shown in my dreams. In a recent lucid, I discovered a woman I met at work has been in all of my past lives, and various other things. Crazy stuff!! Can't wait to start writing it down again! I love going back and reading my journals. It is very interesting to piece together the events of the dreams, the recurring themes and such, with the events that were unfolding in my life at that time. Try it sometime with your own! So fascinating.

Well, tomorrow I will start journaling again. See you all then! Happy dreaming!

Last night I had some difficulties falling asleep again and DR wasn't the best but I must say the dream that I had felt and still feels quiet important to me.

1. Stand and fight

I'm somewhere in California or just somewhere in America with large forests and warm temperatures, it's sunset and I'm enjoying a walk through the forest. I cross some small crooks using small bridges made of 4 logs. I feel like this is summer camp or something and I'm pretty young. (I never went to camps when I was younger IRL.) Suddenly the dream teleports me, I'm back myself and I'm in the same forest but a different location. As I look down the very long dirt road infront of me with at the end a road and buildings (Mabye 250 meters far?) I hear a growl behind my back. I turn around and see a large dark bear standing there, he stares at me with a hungry expression. For 3 seconds I'm frozen and thinking about the best thing to do, my rational minds tells me to remain steady and stare back cause that's what you're told to do when you see a bear, yeah? But my instinct is more powerfull and forces me to run the other way as fast as I can. After 5 seconds of running I realise I made the wrong decision and now the bear thinks I'm a prey, I hear his growling getting closer and closer and his footsteps smashing the ground beneath him. 20 meters further I feel my legs are extremely tired and I know I can't run from this thing, he will tear me in pieces!
But then the most important part of the dream happens, atleast what I think makes it so special. I turn around and see the bear storming at me and he's about 5 meters away from me, I quickly grab a pocket knife (IRL I've never had one.) and try pulling the knife out of the device. I think to myself "If I can't run away from you, then I will not give up without a fight." By the time I ready the knife the bear is just 1 meter infront of me and tries to attack. I dodge it and stab him in his upper neck, the knife barely pierces the thick fur and leathery skin but I see some blood. The bear keeps attacking and after several more stabbings the dream teleports again and I look down on the corpse of the bear, which is completly covered in blood.

Now the reason why I think this dream is so important is cause I just defeated a true nightmare, for the first time in my life. I don't have to worry about it returning or something cause I ended it right then and there. It also shows a bit of who I am as a person I think, I like to ignore and walk away from problems that aren't extremely important but when they do get big I usually solve them really well.

DEILD
(previous dream:Chapter One: The hulking bounty-hunter.)
The transition happened quick and effortless, I found myself in my old house, I teleported back to the cafe of Chapter One and noticed that I already had Vulture's appearance. I went outside and began to ask random DC's about this guy, it was hard because I didn't get any name, but then an old lady remembered seeing him in the outskirts (which happened to be a desert) I flew there using my Wind Manipulation powers, he was creating something. It was the guy alright, he stood up, he just talked to me without turning around "Are you one of those bounty hunters?" I took a battle stance, he turned around and seemed to be holding some kind of trading card, I couldn't see what was on it but I heard him shout "Come forth, Varass!" he threw the card away and it exploded, suddenly a vicious, purple dragon flew where the card was thrown. I prepared myself, sand was beginning to fly calmly around me like an aura, I began attacking the dragon, using the sand as sickle like projectiles, he could evade some of them, but I had hit him in his leg and in his tail, he cried out in pain, suddenly I saw that guy throwing another of these trading cards at me, while shouting "Fireball!" it turned into a fireball and I could just barely evade it, I took his foot and threw him away with a hand I created from the sand underneath him, after I threw him I ran upto the dragon and impaled him with a spear made of sand, it dissapeared quickly. I formed a sand sword and ran at the guy, I had enough of him, eventhough I was impressed at his power, it even gave me an idea for a new persona, heh. But as I wanted to hit him, he teleported away, without a trace, I looked around for him some more, but then the dream began to fade, I wanted to go do another DEILD, but my sis woke me up.

WILD
I recognized a micro-awakening around 4-5AM, I stayed still and SP hit me fairly quickly, The dream created around me and I found myself in a large city, I noticed I had a womanly body and suddenly remembered Vulture, I morphed into her and decided to begin her story here, the name of this city was appearantly Maetropol.
I decided to take control just a tiny bit to advance the story somewhat, I went into a small alley (I envisioned a bounty hunter café there) I went inside, many bounty hunters were there, all with their unique style, I went up to the bartender and asked for a job, he just laughed at me and said "aren't you a little young kid?" after that I got pushed away by this hulking guy "Leave the bounties to the big guys" I jumped up and yelled in his face "Well, come at me then you incompotent gorilla" He didn't appreciate that remark, he pulled out a large mace and began to smash at me, demolishing some tables and the floor, I decided I had enoug and I went outside, he followed me furiously, I quickly punched the ground and surrounded my two fists with stone. I lunged at him and I had hit him right in the face, he got knocked back a few meters, I quickly fired off those stone gloves at him and he went through to the street where he got hit by a truck. I went back inside, everybody now treating me with respect, I remember a guy coming up to me and telling me I had done a good job, I went back to the counter and asked for my job, I got a discription of a man with brown hair and brown eyes, appearantly he overthrew an evil general not long ago, I'm usually for the good guys, but when I hear what my reward was I immidiately took the job, the reward was 500.000$, I wasn't planning on giving up on that many money. I suddenly felt the dream fade away, I prepared for DEILD right that moment.

I am participating in an airsoft battle at an abandoned military outpost.I am running around,trying not to get hit by enemy fire.While running through the abandoned buildings i run into a bunch of military cadets from the academy, that i could see behind the group, doing some jogging.One of the people in the group is a friend of mine so i decide to sneakily make my way to him so the commanding officer doesnt notice(i distinctly remember that the officer had moustaches).I somehow manage to sneak in without anyone,accept for my friend,noticing.We talk for a while until we cut a corner.There in front of us i see a steep hill rising 2 meters off of the ground and assume that that is where we should go.I sprint ahead and try to climb the hill.I dont think i climbed it the normal way.It is kind of like i am trying to run up while staying vertical,but i am not sure.Anyway,i fail and fall back on the path.While turning around my friend sprints past me and up the hill.He succeeds and makes it but quickly falls back down.I turn around and see him lying on the floor in full MK-5 armor(from Halo),he is having trouble breathing.He is having an astma attack.I start wondering why he does not have an inhaler.I think i was yelling for help but i am not sure.While standing there,i decide to try to calm him down so he can breathe easier.I put my hand under his head and instruct him to try to calm down and controll his breathing.It worked a little bit but he is still having trouble.His older brother runs up to us and he tries to assist me in saving him.We turn around to ask people for help and when we look back,he has died and has turned into a shriveled up piece of skin that i picked off the ground.We are both very sad.The building next to us has a ladder and we climb it to the top and turn into anime characters.His girlfriend also appears.They try to convince me that there was nothing i could have done but i do not agree and leave pissed off.I enter a abandoned factory with the machinery still intact,still angry.I look at the floor and see some kind of fancy sci-fi device,and i feel like i am being watched.I hear an ethereal voice that tells me to pick it up and i do so.I try to figure out how to use but i dont know how,so the voice instructs me to press this not-very-obvious button on the top and it shoots out spider webs.I use the device a couple of times to try it out.
Now i am home,exiting my room and going down the stairs into the living room.I decide to test out the device to swing around the room,but the web is too weak to properly carry my momentum.I see a shadow moving above the stairs and swing myself onto them.I see a bluish-gray kitten on the top of the stairs covered in spider webs.I come closer and notice that it is having slight trouble breathing.I assume that it has gotten some into its mouth.I help it and clean the webs off of it and go into my room to find out why that happened.When i enter,i see some shadows behind the window curtain and after moving it,i see three more kittens there hiding in fear of something.They look at the top of my closet and i do the same when suddenly,something starts shooting webs at me.
I am exiting a hotel,POV is in 3rd. person.I am chasing down a guy who has stolen something.I try to swing with my web but run out of juice so i run after him at a speed that surprised me.

3rd. person view.Rarity and Applejack are fighting about something on some hill.I am playing Applejack here.After some time,the argument escalates and AJ throws dirt into R's face.R in turn throws motor oil on AJ's head but she doesnt mind since she is a coutry girl.She throws motor oil at R and she gives up.1st. person POV.AJ is looking at R while she is leaving.Environment suddenly transforms into my room and AJ realises she needs to wash her hair so she doesnt have motor oil on her head.She exits the room and finds herself at a crossroads between a bunch of stone corridors that resemble something out of an Egyptian pyramid.No success.

I am that chubby blonde actor guy that died recently(too lazy to look up his name).I am in a store,trying to find things to buy.I scan the shelves and find a bunch of gourme food packed into a fancy bag.I remember there was some kind of big orange thing in there that migh have had little balls on it but not sure.I look for a price but i cant see anything.I want to buy it,so i look to my right.There is a cash register in the corner there with two women.I ask one of them if she could tell me the price but she disregards the question and starts talking about what stuff this bag contains.After a while i get the impression that she is telling me that i cant afford it and leave before she got a chance to finish.I was quite annoyed.Now i am me.I look at the shelve where i found this and i still cannot see a price tag.I leave the bag and pick something else instead.I look to my left,where i left my school bag and go there to put the food in it,but on my way there Fillip H. and some other guys i used to go to school with appear out of nowhere and form a circle around me while arguing about where to go next.They do not appear to notice me so i make my way to my bag on the floor so i can put my food in.I manage to get it and they finaly disperse but they leave behind (don't remember his name) J.,who got very upset that they left him there.I turn around to look at his face and he yells at them with an angry expression on his face.
