    1. Old Fancy Hotel with Businessmen in Black Suits – Jan 10, 2015

      by , 01-11-2015 at 11:51 PM
      I’m in the void, between dreams, waiting for the next to start. I could feel occasional vibrations, but not enough to try an OBE exit. Then I started to spin clockwise, round and round in my bed, while I was lying on my back. This seemed really odd; because the wall is right beside me, so how could I be spinning continuously (this is what I was thinking)? Then I rotated to sitting position in a bed, and I found myself in a bedroom I didn’t recognize. The room was very old fashion looking, woody, and had sloped ceilings that looked like dormers. I checked to see if my physical body was on the bed beside me, because the environment resembled an OBE in feel and color, but it wasn’t. I guess this was some sort of cool lucid dream.

      I stood up and walked to the bedroom door. The door was very small, and I was questioning if this was the closet door, but this was the only door in the room, so I opened it. On the other side was a hallway with several doors with numbers on them. I realized I was in a very old hotel. The staircase was right beside me, so I headed downstairs. I decided to count softly to help maintain lucidity. I proceeded down three sets of stairs, through a couple of hallways, and I ended up in fancy hotel lobby which was very well lit by chandeliers. By this point I had counted just past 60. I’ve never tried counting before to keep my lucidity, but I have to say, it works really well! There were dark stained wood casings everywhere, with inset wall panels covered in red velvet, and there was gold trim everywhere. There was nobody at the check-in counter.

      I could hear people talking on the other side of some very large, wooden, double doors, so I decided to walk in there and take a look. The door knobs were about 3 inches in diameter, golden, and embedded with a red pattern. This was the hotel’s main ballroom! There was a large stage off to the right, multi-level seating, heavy wooden tables and chairs everywhere, with a large walk up bar at the far end. There were a couple of men standing by the stage talking, and there was one bar tender. I couldn’t help notice the Marshall stacks on stage which seemed really out of place, plus all the other band gear and lighting. This place was all setup and ready to party! I walked across the ballroom and approached the bar tender. I felt like asking him for a drink, but I remembered from a previous lucid dream that this just eats up valuable time asking a dream figure to make a drink. They tend to look at me and say, “What, me? Make you a drink? You’re kidding, right?” The dream figure looked at me and said, “Why don’t you follow me, and we’ll sit at the table over here and talk.” I said, “Sure, let’s do that!”

      We sat at a table in the middle of the ballroom, and I was facing the stage. Again I noticed the Marshall stacks. Two more men, dressed in black suits joined us, and they immediately started talking business and money. I was thinking to myself, man, you guys sure know how to bore a lucid dreamer to death. I was also thinking, I’m here trying to find my daughter, and now I ended up at table with a bunch of stiffs. People kept appearing out of know where and they were intently watching us. Everybody was silent, so was I. I’m normally very talkative while lucid, but something was very off with these guys. I felt my lucidity failing, as these guys rambled on about investments. I said, “Excuse me, I have to do something.” They stopped talking and watched me as I stood up and started to swirl round and round, while I sang a little song, and happily waving my arms. My lucidity came back, and I stopped swirling. That’s when I noticed people giggling at me, and the two men in black suits were shaking their heads in disbelief. I said, “I need to do this to maintain my state of being.” That’s when I noticed my dream guide sitting in the crowd.

      He was making major eye contact with me and was signalling me to shut up and get the hell out of here. This guy usually shows up when things are about to get out of hand. Somebody from my work then appeared literally right in front of me, out of nowhere, and started asking questions. He was totally out place, and had nothing to do with what was going on. By this point I was totally confused, and then I woke up.

    2. A stone gate in the air; plants growing in a cave, repeated

      by , 01-11-2015 at 11:38 PM
      I'm flying over a river, and although I don't remember what I was flying on, in effect it's essentially a flying carpet - a small, flat surface carrying several people. Someone else is 'driving' it, I'm just along for the ride. We're taken over a waterfall, with several clouds beneath us, and among the clouds I see a huge gate hanging in the air, supported by pillars on either end. It turns out to be the first in a series of three gates, the entrance to a country - the first is very modern, with images like a billboard; the second somewhat less modern; and the third is very old and very beautiful, more like a decorative lattice made of stone and covered in moss, as tall as maybe a three-story building. I turn back to look at it as we pass overhead. On the other side, we land. I find that I'm excited, much more so than I'd expected to be, about traveling somewhere new. Less jaded than I thought apparently.

      I'm surprised - although we've just entered a new country, there don't seem to be any customs to pass through, no guards. We've landed outside of a building, and I understand there are some procedures to be gone through inside; but there isn't anyone around out here, no one to stop us from just wandering off into the country. I intend to go inside, I just took note of it as something odd. There's what seems to be a giant bell planted in the ground, although it's so covered with moss it's hard to tell what's underneath. As I and the other people from the 'carpet' walk around outside, I notice several stone statues. There's a plaque underneath one of them that I read - this is part of the entrance procedure. We're meant to pay our respects by bowing before each of these statues. I do so, pointing this out to one of the other people from the 'carpet' to give them a heads up. The first three statues I come to are divine figures and legendary heroes, I bow before each of them; but then the fourth statue I find is an odd creature in a mask, labeled as a nightmare called Home Eater. I don't see why I should have to bow before my own kind.

      (Woke up. Back to sleep.)

      There was a scene in which someone was causing plants to grow rapidly among some stone ruins in a cave, and someone else saying to them, horrified, "What have you done?"

      (Woke up. Back to sleep.)

      Lost Boys, as David I'm watching Michael drop out of the tree and run away from the killing. This was not the plan. He was supposed to kill someone, not run away. I don't like giving the new ones too much time to think - just do it, make a clean break, then explain what's happened to them. It's easier that way.

      Back in the cave with Star, I'm standing off to one side and watching her. She's standing in front of a bunch of pots for plants covering a table. Most of them look empty, although I know she's planted seeds in each of them, and she's been trying to do something with them. But the one she's holding her hands over now is growing right before our eyes, responding to her somehow, like magic. Whatever she's been trying to do, it's working on this one. The other boys come back then, they all exclaim over what Star's doing, gathering around the plant and looking as excited about this as she is - except Michael. He's hanging back and looking at Star with this expression - not exactly betrayal, but close; like he'd thought she was someone he could trust, and now he believes he was wrong about that.

    3. Flat Tires

      by , 01-11-2015 at 11:24 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #397 - DEILD - 7:08AM

      My WBTB was around 2:30AM and I kept it super brief. I was up only long enough to take some galantamine and wash it down with cold peppermint tea. This G night was a little disappointing since I didn't start becoming aware until much later in the morning. I suppose it was because I have been having back issues and I over did it with muscle relaxers pre-bed making me extra tired. Sometimes its hard to find that balance between dream and wakefulness that's required for LD and a lot of thinks factor into it.

      I partially wake from a dream and enter DEILD. I have vibrations and slowly float out of body. I see something odd made of red laser light but I ignore it since I feel really unstable. I exit the room and find myself in what looks like D's house (my mom's friend). I haven't been here since I was little and I am surprised it's showed up in this dream. I just want to get outside so I exit the front door. There is a lot of stuff out there and I spot a cat curled up sleeping in a cushioned chair. I reach down and pet the cat on the head. The cat responds with a low purring meow sound and I walk away. I step into the yard only to find the edge of dream world disappearing into the void. I don't want to deal with that so I try entering another part of the house. I open a door but there is void in there too. Instead of stepping in, I reach an arm in and feel around for a light switch. The dream seams to be breaking up so I look back at the well lit porch for stability. After flipping the switch, I look back to see nothing has happened. I enter the room anyway and find myself lost in the void. I try going back but the door I came in is no longer there. I need stimuli and go with the first thing I think of. Sex. I blind summon a naked female body and couple with her. Her face look sort of familiar but no one I really recognized. We make out and things start to become more sexual but I stop as I begin to feel a bit of guilt. The dream crashes here and I wake up.

      #398 - DILD - 8:53AM

      I am at the park up the road from my house looking at my old Ford Ranger that I used to own in waking life. There is a wheel missing and the other tires are flat. For some reason I have a push lawn mower and my mountain bike. I really want to ride the bike but I don't want to leave the mower here. I try putting the mower in the truck cab but it wont fit. I realize I drove my SUV and fit the mower in the back of that. I spot some tough looking men with colorful glasses strutting by. I worry that they are up to no good but they don't bother me or my stuff. I feel the need for some shades and spot some white ones in the front seat and put them on. I realize that I don't usually wear white but I figure I may as well try something different. There was a lot of time spent here messing around with things but I finally feel content and decide to hop on my bike.

      As I ride my bike toward the street I notice something feels odd. I look down and see the tires are flat on the bicycle. I decide to keep pedaling as I head in the direction of the gas station to get air. I tell myself that if I pretend the tires are normal then they will be. This thought reminds me of dream control and brings me to full lucidity.I am nearly into the street now and I decide that I will be able to ride super fast with the cars. Unfortunately, it's kind of slow and difficult like riding up hill. Although I can't pull of the speed thing, I know I can't be hurt so, I decide to mess with the oncoming traffic. I spy and orange car and pedal hard toward it expecting some sort of impact. Just before the collusion, my front tire jams up sending me over the handle bars and the car vanishes just before it hits me. This is disorienting but thrilling at the same time. I get back on my bike to experiment with this again but before I get going, someone makes a noise in the other room and wakes me up.

      I have two other instances during the morning trying to DEILD. I recall hitting vibrations and trying to move my dream body but not getting very far. I recall very little else and assume I must have lost concentration.
    4. Task of the Month for January 2015

      by , 01-11-2015 at 11:14 PM
      Ok guys I need your help...I don't know what I did or what this counts as...

      Went to bed earlier than usual (before 12:00am) and I had intentions all day to make sure to keep the TOTM on my mind. After about 5 good hours of sleep, I did a WBTB. I keep up with my mantra (I lucid dream) then every now and then I would add (I walk and fly backwards). Somewhere within the nodding in and out of NL's, I recall being lucid and I told myself don't forget to walk backwards. I did walk backwards and then for a second I stopped and told myself, "Not like that!" BTW, I have no idea why I said that. Then I kinda 'skated' backwards (like on an escalator going backwards) when I was telling myself to fly. Then all of a sudden I lost Lucy and found some guy telling me he was going to marry me and I involuntarily went with the non-lucid

      So...I have no idea what this counts for (if it counts at all ).

      Just trying to be honest because being an honest person has always had a lot to do with me being lucid or not.


      Even if this doesn't count, I am still willing to keep trying because my stability sucks lately. One Love.

    5. 2015/1/11

      by , 01-11-2015 at 10:25 PM
      1. Something to do with baseball that somehow lead into people using liquefied, controllable metal for miscellaneous tasks.

      2. I remember another dream, but I don't recall any details.

      3. I was wandering around at what I knew was my college, despite it looking completely different. I was rather preoccupied with the time for some reason. I was there at 7 and felt I had been there overnight. Something happened, I don't recall what, then I checked my watch to see that it was 12:15, 15 minutes late for class. I headed there and found that the room had an odd assortment of desks and chairs, some standard, some more like bar stools. I found a spot near some people I knew. I forgot another event and somehow I was back 'home' (Which was nothing like my actual home.) and checking the time again, realizing that I had to get back to school soon for a second class. Realizing I had only a few minutes to get there, and knowing that it'd take me an hour to get there, I decided to use an LD to get there (Oh the joy of dream thoughts. Use an LD to travel, without taking the hint to become lucid.) I don't remember if it worked or not and I woke up shortly after.

      4. Again, I distinctly remember another dream, but can't recall anything from it.

      5. I was walking in the woods looking for materials (for what I've no idea.) when I noticed some people running after me. (The people from 'The Forest' in retrospect.) I dropped what I had and ran, trying to break line of sight long enough to hide without success. I jumped into a nearby river, hoping to lose them that way, and swam underwater for quite a while. I looked behind to see one of the people still following me, and worse, a large number not far from the shore ahead of me. I quickly left the river and climbed up some kind of structure, using the outer duct work and conveyor belts, whose purpose I could not discern. I jumped off the opposite side into a lake and quickly swam beneath a dock jutting out from the building. It was a rather tense few moments as I waited underwater, but the people eventually went elsewhere. Just as I was about to resurface for a breath, someone else arrived, initially scaring me, but they turned out to be helpful and hooked me up with a bow, arrows, and a knife. The dream essentially turned into a game of Far Cry after. I followed him out of the area. At one point I was deciding between keeping the bow or switching out for an RPG. At first I took the RPG, but later returned to get the bow, thinking stealth would be more beneficial. I don't remember what happened after that.

    6. A guid ane!

      by , 01-11-2015 at 10:10 PM
      Very nice enjoyable vivid dream last night, packed with wee details. All that was missing was the lucidity!! - bah!

      In my Dad's shop. It looked entirely unlike real life, it was fitted out in wood and had a Victorian look to it. A wee boy was annoying me so I stepped behind the counter. There was a unit on the counter which blocked my view of everything! I then kicked a big box. I decided to get rid of it. I then noticed it was made of glass. There was square hole in the wall with space behind. I looked inside, it was full of dust and also a wee shard of glass. I was a bit concerned for safetys sake but I pushed the glass box inside. I then left the shop as I knew I had a rendevouz with a lassie!
      A small gap I guess and I was walking up the streets of Forfar with the lassie on the outside. She looked a bit familiar but I I cant quite work out if I know her IRL or not. She was a good size 12, had shoulder length blonde hair and gappy teeth. I said to her 'I don't know your name, is that no' awful?'
      'Shona', she said
      'Shawna? ' said I, (Her last name was either Murray or Connor, I just knew this)
      She didn't correct me. I asked if she knew my name, she said of course and said it matter of factly. I said it was an easy name right enough and we entered my Uncles shop. My Uncle and dad were standing there. They said something cheeky about the lassie I was with. I noticed then how short she was. I walked to the back of the shop and my other two Uncles marched out a door. I said 'Jings, the whole Clan is here!' She wasn't interested so we left and kept walking.
      I said to her 'Your older than me?'
      'No, I'm 35 - my brother Alvin was in your year at school - do you remember him?'
      I didn't, but lied and said I did. - I suddenly was wondering what my relationship with this lassie was - ie was I planning an affair or what?
      We entered an unfamiliar pub. She sat down at the bar, and I stood beside her. I got a text (Never had one in my dream before believe it or not!) It was from my wife and said-
      'This is a small pub- you 'll not get served if you are standing up'
      I looked up the bar, there was a man in a white shirt standing up and clearly getting served, but I sat down anyway. At once the barman noticed me and asked what I wanted at the same time as he asked two lads to my right. I asked first for a pint, then changed my mind to a bottle for some reason.

      Pointless - but fun!

    7. Turtles are blue. OST + DA + DEI + DILD

      by , 01-11-2015 at 09:04 PM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I woke up in Father room, it was day light and I decided to go to the bathroom thinking about my last non-lucid dream however as I attempted to turn on the lights, it did not work. I then made another attempt to look at my hands but it became too dark in the room to see clearly. I went out of the bathroom and notice it was now night. I already became lucid now but attempted to turn on the lights in the room anyway. It failed, as I begin to walk I felt a strong force lift me up and send me flying through walls and was forcefully being push.

      I then said not again and appeared on the bed again. I got up but the same thing happen again to where I felt I was gravitating to one side of the wall. Eventually I went through it and went outside again. It was beginning to become morning, my face landed directly on a neighbors house. I felt a bit dizzy but could tell I've regain control. I begin walking up the hill of grass and then went over some bushes. I overall did a lot of exploring in till I came across a cow. I began to realize there were many cows up on this hill. I was close to being out of the community however that's when I notice a police car driving horribly on the road.

      They park right next to me, I knew this was going to be bad so I tried using telekinesis but to no avail. I notice the two police man getting out of the car. Which when I and a few other kids I just notice began running. One was wearing a orange shirt and the other had a red jacket on. I began yelling in excitement due to how fast I and the two other kids were going. I saw a kid in a white shirt having trouble keeping up with us. So I toss a large container which made him stumble down. The kid behind me in the red jacket began insulting me for foul play.

      I then began to undermine him by saying I'll prove why I'm the original. The race kept going as we leap upon roofs and ran pass cars. The sky was beginning to become bright daylight. I did one huge leap to get across many of the houses in front of me. But the kid in red decided to simply run on the ground across the houses. This was proving to be my wrong doing because instantly I notice on the right side of my field of vision. I had become 2nd place, I could sense the finish line is just ahead. I began running as fast as I could, wondering if I'll some how manage to skip him.

      It became a very close race as we both had to make one huge leap over a wide building in order to reach the finish line. He was barely ahead of me and I knew I couldn't make the entire jump so I landed on the ground and had to leap one more time, the kid in the red jacket manage to go over the whole thing but that's not the only thing he went over. He had too much altitude over the finish line. Before I knew it, the final results came back. I had earn 1st place and realize the guy in red came in as 3rd place. The boy in the orange shirt was 2nd.

      I soon found myself in a clear nice building. I continue to place my shoes on, but then a person open the door behind me and I quickly realize it was the kid in the red jacket. He ask me to hang out with him. I was reluctant at first but then decided it didn't matter. We open the door and he began to show me his school. While we were in the hallways, I began thinking to myself about how long this lucid dream was lasting. I didn't have any good dream control so I didn't knew why my awareness was being maintain so well. I then remember that this is my first sleep cycle, perhaps getting lucid before WBTB granted me a bit more time.

      Then while in the middle of the hallway an old woman in a blue business suit came up to me. She ask how was I enjoying the school? I said it look great and very clear. I haven't been in a school like this. She agreed and ridicule me about ever getting the privilege to even visit the school. I kept walking and didn't realize I almost bump in to someone in a white dress shirt. I then woke up soon after. Lucidity Time: 15 minutes.

    8. 2015-01-11 racquetball again, 2 appearances of breath, late morning sexytime

      by , 01-11-2015 at 09:00 PM
      + racquetball: observing a game, guy plays a lot at the front, waiting to get my court, challenge court, think of glow-in-the-dark stealth RQB

      A guy is playing a girl, I'm observing from the back of the court. He makes a lot of side-to-side at-the-front shots. On one point the girl runs really fast to get to the ball, a great hustle, the point continues, and she tries to hit the ball off the back wall and messes up. I think of the concept of "stealth" racquetball: played in the dark, the ball would be glow-in-the-dark green, and the racquets would need to be longer, like squash racquets, so that your opponent wouldn't be able to figure out where you were (dream logic!). The racquets would be white, too, I see one, looks like a badminton racquet. It's time for my reservation, but the courts are still full of people playing a challenge ladder. I think of joining in.

      + strange quarry: weird processing/gathering trucks, fall into manure hole with pipes, guy in the bag

      Outdoors daytime, a large open conical quarry. One level near the top is made of large stones and is being processed by a strange truck with lots of tubes coming off of it. I walk along the path and come upon a 10-foot deep whole with vertical pipes in it, it also seems to be lined on the sides with horse manure. I (fall?) down inside the whole and hear a voice from underneath me, I was sitting on a small canvas bag/sack, there's a guy inside there. He's in there in a hope for his untreatable condition to be cured.

      + semi-epic in technological multi-story girder building: breath temperature detection program, when will it be done, guy sitting in room, scary alien (ghost? bacteria?) is learning, director contacts headquarters, breath calming device (TWO breath occurrences!); two guys accepted into flight school, flying away, views of Disneyland below, bathroom, strange toothpaste, wife, SF

      I'm at a desk with a computer system on it in an open modern multi-level office building with lots of exposed girders. I'm building a breath temperature measuring device. I will make it take two inputs from two people and it will do a simultaneous analysis of the breath temperatures. It will measure minimum, maximum, and median (mean, too?) temperature of the breath blown in. The director of the facility asks me when it will be ready, I'm pretty sure it will be ready later this day, but it may take until tomorrow to finish.

      I'm walking through the facility, in one open area there's a guy (and a girl?) sitting at a desk.

      We're gathered together in a room. We are observing how the scary alien intelligence (bodiless? bacteria?) are attempting to gain control of a mouse on a computer. The alien intelligence is making progress and is beginning to activate the fighter/bomber planes and may use them against us. The director of our facility is signaling headquarters, she does this by signing her signature on a piece of paper and encoding a message. I observe her doing this several times.

      I get scared and run out of the room. I move to another room nearby, but the doors are strangely opening for me as I approach automatically. I think the alien intelligence may be doing this to lead me to a trap, I ask someone if this could be and they answer "yes."

      I'm pretty scared, somebody gives me a calm-down breathing apparatus for me to have. It works by providing resistance to natural breathing patterns, you have to push pretty hard for it to allow breath in or out. It's a multi-part device, you blow in one end, and something moves on the other and as the breath comes out. This calms me down. I go back to the original room and fold my apparatus and put it on a shelf. I look for it again right away and can't find it.

      Flying now on an airplane with open sides/doors (like a paratrooper plane). Two guys are happy, they've been accepted to the flight training program, there is a vision of a bunch of guys in flight gear floating through the air. I see down on the ground below the plane, we're flying over "Disneyland", there are large colorful "rides". The ocean is nearby, it is bright daylight. We fly over another "Disney" amusement park, circling to the right, I look down, it's pretty crowded with teeny tiny people (ant sized). We fly closer to one ride which is little children going vertically up and down on tracks, their mothers are there too.

      I'm in a bathroom, (doing something?), leaving, I see on a shelf/counter a completely used up double-nozzled tube of toothpaste:

      B6 vitamins??-toothpaste.gif

      There is another more normal looking tube of toothpaste with some left in it. I squirt out a large blob of pale green (like old Crest) toothpaste on my brush and am about to brush my teeth with it. I stop and think, where did this toothpaste come from? It's not mine, ew, I shouldn't use it, and dump it and head to leave.

      My wife is also leaving, we're in the big city, I think I should hang around in the city and (<do something> )

      late morning jumbled scenes:

      + hiding under bath towel, on bus with MR he disappears, strange neighbor sign, strip and engage the girl, problem with electricity in the basement, ham and cheese bagel in parents' kitchen

      I'm on a bus with best friend MR heading up S street towards GP. Near the top I realize he's not there and I don't see him. Outside the bus (?) there is a sign put up by a neighbor. I read it several times and am trying to make sense out of it. The part I'm sure about are: "It is our daughter's birthday" and "Yes, this is odd" (meaning it's strange to make such a sign in the first place!).

      I'm lying down in a room with people, I'm in an "excited" state, I'm trying to hide this and simultaneously "enjoy" the state, I pull a large bath tower over myself but can't quite get everything covered up.

      (semi-lucid)
      Spoiler for explicit sexual content:


      Dozing in and out of sleep

      + A guy in the basement is telling us something we're doing is interfering with the electrical system and is bothering his sleep since an electrical line is right next to his head. I'm not understanding what he's saying. He says the problem is in the basement. Part of a wall is painted red? I finally understand that something we're doing is causing a change in the flow of electricity and that is sounding like some sort of hum that is bothering him.

      + I pick up a bag and open it from the kitchen table, inside is a ham and cheese bagel. I take it to the kitchen and want to zap it in the microwave, but my dad is in the way, I try to step around him but can't, so I wait for a second then I put the bagel on a bubbling plate in the microwave, slam the front for of the microwave with a bang. I notice the small microwave is encased in a large enclosure, I think this is to limit the radiation. My mother says something about a project (guava juice?) I'm working on it late.

      I woke up at around 6 AM this morning after grabbing a drink of water from the kitchen(best time for me to induce WILDs). I went back to sleep after feeling a bit tired and had a short dream. I'm not sure what I was doing in it. I can almost remember what some scenes looked like but only one scene caught my attention.

      I was inside to small office apartment. I walked around the lobby which consisted of a big plain open space in the middle with a few desks and computers right next to the walls. I was standing in front of the direction of two door way, and within them I only two closed closets. I stood there for a moment until I took a set of sleeping pills and slowly started to collapse to the floor as I gazed at the handful of pills I had in my hands. That's when the dream started to fade away.

      Seconds after that happened, I woke up in my own bed, or at least it felt like I did. It took me a couple seconds to realize that I couldn't rise my chest up. I thought of two reasons this could be happened...1. I was really tired or 2. I was stuck in sleep paralysis. The answer is obvious.

      I started to panic, not knowing what could be within the room. I wanted to get up quickly, using the shoulders of my bed to help me get out of this paralyzed position. I yelled out in fear with both my eyes closed as I struggled getting up. I wasn't sure what to do until I recalled one of the ways I could use to help me maintain my sanity.

      Because this felt a lot like a dream, I wanted to summon someone quickly to help me change the dream scene. I yelled out random names of girls I admired in the past and in the present.

      "Trinh!!!" I yelled out, "Sophie!!!" I was yelling a few others but I tried to recall that one person I really wanted to summon, but had trouble doing so. Once I found out who it was I yelled it out. "Syd!!!"

      None of them wanted to appear. That's when the most creepiest moment happened. I opened my eyes slightly and noticed something moving over my right shoulder. It was a ghost. I continued to yell out and once it finally seemed that I leaped up out of the bed, I heard a little girl's voice, giggling. I'm not sure whether she was next to me or inside my head. The dream ended there.
    10. Walking on Water - Jan 10, 2015

      by , 01-11-2015 at 07:24 PM
      In this Lucid Dream I walked on water for the first time! Later on in the dream I questioned a dream figure on her true identity, and she reversed the question and described me instead. Here’s what happened:

      I was out deer hunting on an island, and the background scenery appeared to flat, so I walked up to it and discovered it was actually a large camouflage blind extending as far as I could see. There was a vertical, slit opening in the camouflage fabric which I was able to pass through to the other side. To my surprise I found a man sitting against the blind, but it was very dark and I couldn’t see who it was. I sat down beside him and began to think about the situation. Suddenly, my cell phone rang, it’s my dad. He said I should come home and get my rifle since I’m out hunting. I said, “Okay dad, I’ll come home and get it.” Why would I go deer hunting without a gun, seriously, this is definitely a dream! I’m lucid! I stood up and ran towards the lake a leaped off a 50 foot cliff ‘superman style’.

      Instead of flying like I expected, instead I fell towards the water, and stopped just inches from the surface. Clarity was extremely poor, and I wasn’t going anywhere. There was a small piece of seaweed floating on the surface so focussed on it until it became clear and focussed, then I could see my reflection and ripples in the water. I slowly began to move forward, just inches above the water’s surface. Shortly thereafter, I approached the shore near my parent’s house, but I stopped about 10 yards from shore, and I wasn’t moving, so I decided to stand up in the waist deep water. I thought about a forum topic regarding ‘walking on water’ so I gave it try. I stepped up onto the water’s surface and was reasonably solid. The surface resembled that of a firm gymnastic matt. This is when I noticed I was being followed by the man from the island! He was about 20 feet behind me, waist deep in water, and struggling his way towards me. I said, “Hey! You can walk on the water too! Try it!” Sure enough, he could walk on the water too, and then walked to shore.

      The man was over 6 feet tall, middle aged, and had short brown hair. I asked him his name, and he happily replied, “Robin!” I looked at him, and I said, “That’s not what I mean, who are you really? Are you female or a male, and what is your real name?” He was surprised by this comment and he turned into a six foot tall, blonde woman in a pretty white dress with band shoulder straps. She had a faint white glowing aura around her, and I didn’t recognize her. I see this quite often in LD’s, glowing dream figures, so I didn’t take much notice of that, but what she said next left me thinking. She said, “Instead of talking about me, let’s talk about you. You always walk around with your hands like this (she showed me in a joking manner), and you’re always so laid back. She imitated me again smiling. You’re also so much better at creating money than I am.” At this point I woke up, and thought carefully about what happened so I could journal this in the morning.

      I lay in bed pondering this experience. She was absolutely correct about the way I carry my hands when I walk, and my laid back attitude, but ‘creating money’ made no sense to me. You don’t create money; you make money, and I’m not that good at making money. What did she mean by creating money? I didn’t figure out what she meant until the morning. She was referring to a memorable OBE I had with her (my daughter), which I journaled under the title, ‘A Little Noodles Please’. Here’s an excerpt from the dream where I created money:

      “I fumbled through my pockets to try and find some money, but there was none. As I reached to grab the bag of chocolates a toonie fell from my wrist, hit the floor, and then rolled against the counter. The restaurant went silent.”

      I find this interesting because my daughter was able to identify in the dream who she was, not by directly telling me, but through some common experience we shared in another dream (OBE). This was something that was not apparent during the dream, but was something I had to think about very carefully after awakening in order to make sense of ‘creating money’.

    11. Spring has come

      by , 01-11-2015 at 06:23 PM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      I was standing in front of the doors to my home. Its warm, sunny morning. I can feel refreshing, cold west breeze. As I'm about to enter my home, a bee flies across the garden. Somehow I can hear it whistling and singing about the spring. I enter my home, take my jacket off and enter the room. I seat near the table with mother and siblings, and we start to play scrabble. I can recall some of the letters i had. I think it was o, u, i, z, c, h and s. I can't recall who won the game.

    12. A lot of water in this one... [11/01/15]

      by , 01-11-2015 at 03:45 PM (My lucid comeback!)
      Nothing special last night, until my DR is around 4 dreams/night I will start working on inducing them and maintaining my sleeping-shedule.

      1. The chase


      The dream starts with me descending down the stairs into the entrance hall of my house because something terrible happened. I'm very stressed and quickly find out it's all under water, 2 cats are trapped there so I don't hesitate and jump in right away. The water is very clear and light is still shining through the windows, under the stairs I see a small cage with in it one of the cats, the other already managed to get out and is now swimming around. I spend quite some time fiddling around with the lock and am suprised I'm stil able to hold my breath although I'm actually breathing again at this point but it doesn't feel like I'm drowning. Once the cage is open I smash one of the windows making the water rapidly flow out. And with that the two cats also flow out through the window on the street, they run away and I try following them so I can catch them. They're really fast and I quickly lose them, from that point on I ask people if they saw them running past, using their directions I resume my chase. I come across a WW1 bunker which seems very familiar to me as if I had been there before with a school-trip or something but IRL I never saw it. After some time I enter a park where I find them, I almost managed to grab one of them but they're stil to fast. They jump in the moat of a castle at which point I actually catch one of them, the other gets grabbed by someone from the castle and I feel as if his faith ain't pretty.

      2. Crazy water park

      It's summer and I'm at a water park, it has large swimming pools and the slides look dangerously fast, I decide to try out one of the slower slides. Next to that slide is what seems to be a scaffolding for a new slide, I climb on it and jump on a platform hold up by a rope 10 meters above the ground, it shakes a lot but seem to be having fun. Then a crane starts bashing the structure cause it to violently shake around and I stil seem to be enjoying the thrill of it. Eventually the rope breaks and I'm sent of flying 50 meters further up ahead actually landing outside the swimming-complex, I'm fine but have to walk quite a long road before I'm back. My family is angry for me doing such crazy things.

      3. New bathroom


      I'm home and have to go to the toilet, upon arriving upstairs because the toilet downstairs was already occupied I'm suprised to find it's a lot larger up here than usuall and we seem to have a secondary bathroom. I check it out and it looks very similar to the Original one except there is no dedicated shower room to the right, instead two showerheads hang above the two sinks aimed towards the middle of the bathroom next to the bath. The tiles are ceramic and there's a drain in the middle of the room, despite all of this I stil sit down on the toilet and do my business after which I decide to try out this new shower, it's very nice having to just stand in the middle of the room and let the water fall from the ceiling, I notice my mother is on the roof just outside repairing something and the curtain is open so I quickly close these before I'm seen. For some reason she knows I'm showering and is angry about it.


      The dreams themself weren't very interesting but I notice recall and vividness are improving, let's try LDing next night!

    13. The Beach House on the Cliff

      by , 01-11-2015 at 03:44 PM (The Lab Notebook)
      My parents have just bought a house up on a high hill overlooking the ocean. There is a whole community of similar houses up on that hill; ours is the last one at the end of the street, on the ocean-facing side of the hill. Beyond our house, the hill becomes more of a cliff, and the ocean is below it. My family has just recently moved to the community.

      My parents, my sister, and I are coming back from being out and about, and we see all our neighbors standing or sitting around in the open area at the highest point on the hill, which we have to pass through to get to our house. When we talk to them, we learn that they are out there watching the neighborhood slowly fall apart. I see an open patch of mud on the ground in a corner where two pieces of concrete come together, with air bubbles coming up through it. I see a corner of someone's concrete patio sticking up at an odd angle, no longer flush with the ground. All over the hilltop, the is starting to liquefy like this.

      We get to our house (which is a long, straight, single-story house built perpendicular to the cliff), go inside, and see that the floor is now tilting at a 20-degree angle or more. It's clear that it's ultimately going to slide off the top of the cliff and fall into the ocean, but we can't feel it moving right now. Our mom tells us to collect any of our things that we want to save before that happens.

      My sister and I go to the far end of the living room, which is the narrow edge of the house and the wall furthest from the edge of the cliff. There is a fireplace there, with lots of dark wooden shelves built into the walls on either side of it. We start taking the things we want to save off the shelves. Two of the first things I grab are shiny, silver-colored, stainless-steel thimbles. My sister also grabs a similar thimble of her own. I look closely at both of the thimbles I have and see that they each have a small number 10 etched into them. Good - they're both mine, and my sister hasn't accidentally touched one of mine.

      The shelves are mostly filled with CDs and DVDs in cases, but there are lots of other things there, too. We grab a few other small items, but the number of things we decide to save is tiny compared to the total number of things on the shelves. It doesn't take long until we look at what's left on the shelves and think, "There really isn't anything else here that's particularly important to me."


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

      Side notes:
      When I realized what I'd seen and done in this dream, I laughed out loud. Those thimbles are what I've been using as a dream totem for more than four years now. They're supposed to be a reality-check tool. I saw it and handled it, and it never once occurred to me that I might be dreaming, nor that I should use it to see if I might be dreaming. How silly of me!

    14. Pool; Lake

      Sunday Jan 11, 2015

      Last night bed around 9pm.

      I have been having dreams last few nights, what seems like all night. But waking up every time just a bit too late to remember anything that can be put into words.

      Yesterday:

      DR1:
      I'm in a house, when we notice there is a fire in the next room. Flames are shooting out from some opening in the wall. I'm looking for an extinguisher, but all I find is some water. I start throving it on the fire through this small hole and it's working.

      DR2:
      I'm outside, sitting on some benches or chairs, by some small stores. Suddenly there is a black smoke coming out of one of them. I think store is empty, but a bunch of us run up there to help people get out and to stop the fire.

      Last night:
      DR1
      We are living in a single story house by a huge lake. Water comes up all the way to the house. The surface is very calm, like a mirror. Somebody who lives there wants to do something with the lake and I say yes. So she put a thin seethrough plastic layer on top of the water. So it looks like a lake, but you can walk on it. I walk on it, where water is only few inches deep, just barely enough to cover up some rocks that have green moss all over them.

      There is some large party and I tell someone to go walk on water and surprise the guests.

      We are standing outside, admiring some birds sitting in a tree with flowers. I want to take a picture but they all fly away and with tons of other birds alrady in the air start circling above. I know what's coming as I hear soft thuds all over the place. We are getting bombarded by bird poop. I look at my left arm and it has dozens of tiny white-grey lines of poop on it. I'll walk inside to shower.

      Now there is 3 of us, walking someplace. I ask where, and we are going to visit friend K's mom V. I realize I'm still covered in poop and i say I can't go. I turn back, and when they want to turn back with me, I tell them to keep going.

      DR2
      I'm standing someplace on a higher ground, looking down at some "wading" pools. In one with beatuful turquoise color, water only ankle deep. Another pool adjacent to that one is knee deep.

      Lots of dreams, happy.

    15. Entirely unexpected, it seems I have lucid dreams 100% of the time if i sleep in longer than should.

      by , 01-11-2015 at 10:31 AM
      I once again found myself in school, in my american history class I looked down at what I was writing and saw my mangled hand and gibberish that I was writing.

      ************************************************** *****Lucidity Break********************************************* ********************

      I stood up to my desk to leave the room when I found myself barred from leaving by my teacher who happens to share the same name as me I felt bad for this since I actually liked this guy IWL but I was not about to pass up the chance to explore the dream to sit at my desk in class. I grabbed him and he morphed into a hairless ten foot tall albino white alien, I started to find myself being overpowered. Thinking fast, I gave some leeway and as I swiveled toward the wall I swung with his force and planted both feet on it and pushed toward the windows on the far side of the classroom. We flew halfway across and I let my grip on his shoulders go, as he continued forward and flew through the window to his death. I turned towards my classmates and saw they were all mannequins with the same hair and clothes, alongside soulless black eyes. All their heads swiveled towards me and I freaked the fuck ouut "KILL IT WITH FIRE!" and twin geysers of flame erupted out of my hands and torched the room, I ran outside the door and found myself in some goth kids fantasy of a high school. I was vaguely aware that I was in the gym side of the school and walked around to explore the dream, eventually I found myself walking through the doorway into the stadium and was suddenly in a room in outer space. The walls were full of windows and the floor and ceiling were black carpet. I sat with some kids and watched space and smoked weed(an entirely unique experience in a dream) until i woke up.
