    1. RILD (Remee induced Lucid Dream)

      by , 04-03-2015 at 09:03 PM
      I was sitting at the dinner table and looked at my wall to notice bright flashing lights. I IMMEDIATELY pushed my chair back and stood up in excitement to realize that it was remee and i was in fact in a dream. I walked outside and looked around to decide i wanted to fly. In my LDs i often have trouble flying off the ground so my technique is to jump off of something but this time i did a slight variation. I told myself that when i look around the corner of the building there will be a crater in the ground in which i will jump into to gain speed and fly.
      As i was flying my friend joined me and we saw a giant glass dome with plants inside so we decided to check it out. I crashed through the winder and landed on the ground to see a man sweeping the floor. I told the man that he is in my dream and he told me he still has to do his job.

    2. The boat

      by , 04-03-2015 at 07:28 PM
      I couldnt get off this boat, i was stuck there forever for some reason. It was like a vacation i was on. I wish i could tell people i was there because it was unreal. I had no communication with the outside world except my little cousin kaily who texted me all the time she is 15 and i couldnt reply to her. The same thing would happen day in and out. It was like an experiment i was being held a part of. No one aged on this boat. There was the same party every day on the lower deck but i never went down there. Theres one more person who started becoming self aware besides me
      And he lost it. So they killed him. I knew what was happening. I knew i was being held hostage. There were sometimes you were able to go home for two minutes. But only two times. I wasted both my minutes. As selfish as it was i was anle to bring someone else where i was. not remember who it was but they were very close to me when they arrived it happened in this secret room. They just appeared in the chamber in front of me and i was able to give them a constant emotion of joy, sorrow, or pain while om the boat, and change their body size. Also i checked my phone i was there from october 18th to December 30th is the last day before i woke up. Theres more to the dream but i can barely remember this. If youve had this dream or know what its about or just want to hear more please message me this dream worried me very badly.

      1. Good score soldier going to therapy
      I am a soldier, in a call of duty like environment but also like battlefield.. It’s a little mixed up..
      I have a good score and K/D Ratio, so I’m in a video game. While I killed other players I thought “Maybe I should get a new CPU (processor), it seems a little laggy and maybe I can perform better if I got a new CPU”. I went up in a tree to camp a little. I shot 2-3 guys up there, and then I went down to chase a guy there was on his way to a house..
      I shot after him but I could not hit him, so I went after him. We went to the front yard of the house, and then I went to the porch there sat 3 people and they waited for me, I sat down….

      2. A little temper is good
      Dad, Mom, others from my mothers side of the family and I sat at a table to eat lasagne. My dad and mom talked about people that wasn't able to talk much was a little annoying and stuff. I got mad threw my table of lasagne over to my dads side of the table and went out to put my shoes on. My uncle came in the door and asked me what was wrong. I just said that I jo needed some air.


      Dreamsigns:
      I do play war games so I'm not sure if it's a dreamsign or not. I guess it is since its virtual reality.
      I'm a soldier. I shoot people. I'm in a tree. Mom. Uncle.

    4. Dark Spirit (NLD fragment)

      by , 04-03-2015 at 07:05 PM
      Recall: 1/10. WTB 4am, woke 10am. All night on waking I had the impression of complex dreams but could not recall even the broad outlines. At one point there was a fragment of Japanese in my head: play between the words "iro iro" (which I think means "various") and "iru" (infinitive of "to be"). After final sleep had the vague impression of seeing places on a map, and was sure that I had dreamed something urban and apocalyptic... but I cannot seem to find the thread.

      10:45am. Took a shower, still trying to remember. At first I thought the hot water was a distraction, but after a few minutes something flashed into mind and I murmured: "I was in the woods."

      I was in the woods. There was at least one other person, and we were digging for something. And then another entity approached us. I have the impression that he usually drove a horse and carriage, but at the time of our encounter he was on foot. I recognized him as something terrifying and supernatural. He had a name, the everyday kind some boogeymen develop in folklore, consisting of an adjective and a common first name. The adjective might have been "dark"; I don't remember the name. I have the impression he had a stunted body, a normal-sized male torso on short and shriveled legs.

      When I saw this creature on the forest path, I recognized the terror and danger he represented, and then the strangest thing happened: on a whim, I ran up and hugged him! And as this was happening, I was thinking wryly to myself, "If I were lucid, would I dare to do this? I don't think so!" Somehow I managed to have this thought without being lucid in the slightest—I guess you could say it was dream awareness without memory or agency. However, there might have been a touch of dream memory, even if WL memory was absent: my comment was in reference to an incident that occurred several years when I was lucid, and my intended task was to approach a fae spirit, but the one I glimpsed in the distance was so creepy that all she did was glance in my direction and I started running away as fast as I could!

    5. Some Dreams

      by , 04-03-2015 at 06:09 PM
      - My family, Rigby, Skips, and I all were staying in this mansion. It was rumored to be haunted by the soul of a limo driver. As we stayed and I roamed around the creepy mansion with my camera on, trying to find evidence that it was, strange things began happening. It started with just the constant feeling of being watched or that feeling something bad may happen soon, then things started to move. Skips was turned into a blob of chewed up gum. Rigby started to freak out. So we called a medium in, she didn't say anything for a long time. So I asked if the place really was haunted. She said it was but the spirit only hated us, it had never been active before we showed up.

      Rigby and Skips is from 'Regular Show' if you didn't know that already.


      - I was with Mr Burns decorating a christmas tree with circular stamps. My friend Hannah showed up and helped me escape, from there we went out to save all the cats! The cats were in danger. The first one we went to find was my cat, Mark. We broke into a house we thought had him but found he wasn't there, I grabbed a brown leather bag and stuffed a teddy bear in it and as we exited I stuffed marbles in it as well. Hannah asked about the marbles. I said they would come in handy sooner or later, after all people fall off their feet easily when there's a ton of marbles on the floor.
      The next house we broke into was around the corner from an old house I used to live in, it looked quite average from the outside but when we snuck inside it was huge! It looked like some rich person's mansion. We entered the kitchen first, but before we could do much Hannah accidentally broke something and alerted one of the homeowners. We ran out and up a flight of stairs seconds before the person reached the kitchen.
      We hid in a large bathroom, a young girl walked in, Hannah managed to hide but I was spotted. The girl didn't say anything just stared at me. So I improvised and said. "I'm your imaginary friend!"
      SHe said something that I can't remember but I do remember responding, "Oh people have very vivid dreams all the time, I mean vivid imaginary friends! Besides your still half asleep."
      SHe shrugged and nodded. I bid her farewell and grabbed Hannah, we ran out of the bathroom and into the hall. We ran up another flight of stairs that twisted upward, a maid was right behind us. We ended up in a large room that was like a mixture of a den and playroom. We hid just in time for the woman to pass, the young girl with her. That's when I spotted Mark! I was overjoyed to finally find my cat, I jumped out of hiding and ran to him. I began to pet him, he was as soft and fluffy as I remembered. But....something was off.
      Both his ears drooped and he was hardly reacting to me petting him. His eyes were barely open. You'd think he was dead if it wasn't for him still breathing. The girl walked over and asked what I was doing with her cat. I argued that it was my cat. In truth I can't remember the conversation, I just knew I was growing worried for Mark. Sure he's an elderly cat but when I had him he acted like he was still one year old, not like this...like he was dying. My friend did all the talking, seeing as I was too focused on Mark at this point. The mother of the little girl had showed up, can't remember when but she silenced her daughter and agreed to give Mark back.
      Seeing as I was near tears I was unable to thank her and picked Mark up...usually he'd try to get away since he hated being held but no, he did nothing. I carried him away, still fighting back tears.


      Remembering that dream is making me cry! DX
      I love my cat so much, even if he's still alive now and not at all in the state that he was in the dream. Mark is old, and I...never want to lose him.

    6. Hole task

      by , 04-03-2015 at 05:12 PM (dolphin's dreams)
      I wake up in my bed. My body feels weird so I figure I'm dreaming. I do a nose plug and can breathe. I get out of bed. My body is heavy and unstable. I recall the hole task. I reach into my pocket, take out the rubbery hole, and throw it on the ground. I try to jump into the hole, but my balance is so poor that I miss the hole completely. I end up falling through the floor anyway. I find myself in an open orange underwater dreamscape with long hourglass shaped bubbles all around me. I try to summon a dolphin but I don't get anything. I wake up.

    7. The Other Side : Part 5 - Last fight with that dark guy

      by , 04-03-2015 at 02:47 PM (GDreamer's spaghetti)
      Sorry for the delay
      So here is my last dream from my golden age of semi lucidity.
      I'm at the usual place, parking lot, supermarket. Things going all right. I just got almost lucid.
      Now I practice with the elements, I have a bit hard time with my abilities ,telekinesis is quite buggy today.
      I was thinking of strategic attacks , then I got an idea of a finishing move that also eliminates all enemy around me ,and maybe it even kills me. Tepes's Aegis - Named from Vlad The Impaler .
      Stakes falling from the sky, impaling everyone in a kilometer radius . It seemed to be a very nice idea , just in case of fighting.
      I kept walking around when I suddenly felt that something's coming . I started to walk out of the parking lot into the bus stop hoping that the thing didnt see me.
      At a point I saw him walking towards me , I tried to hide and I succeded , but then I took a bad step.
      Now he sees me , even he made an eye contact . He stops .
      Then he unleashed his anger towards me , I was able to sense it in the air, it was blazing like hellfire.
      He sent a message through telepathy and it sounded something like this.
      "YOU BASTARD , YOU WERE THE ONE WHO DID F*** S**T UP ,NOW I'LL F***IN KILL YOU "
      I was in some samurai costume , it was in a very bad state but whatever , and all I was able to summon is a rusty sword.
      The guy starts to morph into a goddamn Human-Bull beast which had horns and stuff.
      This thing was a muscly crap and scary , it gave out horrible sounds , But I knew I got to fight it. Though I almost shat my pants .
      Then in this moment I remembered the new technique I raised my hands and said" Țepeș's ægis!"
      And the sky got darker, and so we began to fight . in the beginning All I was able to do is dodge ,dodge and dodge and hope that motherf***r won't bite me .
      Soonly I was unable to see anything because the stake rain arrived, I raised my hands and made a protecting field that brokes these stakes before hitting me , even though , I got hit by one of those on my hands and had a few scars but then it stabilised.
      But the bull beast wasn't even hurt, it was just going through it , throwing some cars into the air from anger.
      Then I saw that the steaks are made of glass , its of course unnefective on this beastie f***.
      I tried to slice him few times, but he hit me back, I almost died , and also flew 20 meters.
      Now I stopped for a moment and think , before the bull ambushed me I said "LET IT BE MADE FROM IRON"
      . IT WORKED! The bull got injured , and so I got ready to attack.
      Then It got even more mad. And so it started to run towards me crushing everything on its way.
      With a last running I raised my sword for a last blow, and then for my luck . The bull got hit again.
      The time slowed down , full adneraline , I swing with my sword ,I sliced into its neck and head .
      I did it , and then time goes back to normal. the bull falls over . That was an epic moment.
      I breath heavily , I got exhausted by the battle, I slice a few into the bulls body, then it disappears.
      - I did it , omg.

      A helicopter comes
      Guy screams , "get up there , WE got to go!"
      I get up there , we fly away
      -Where are we go?
      -I'll tell you later.

      The dream ended
    8. Dawn

      by , 04-03-2015 at 01:59 PM
      Note: Dawn was not in his anime form this time. I think I'm starting to recognize a different form that he likes to take. So for my next dream goal I'm going to ask Dawn what form he likes to be in.Also, I did not write my dreams in the notebook so i forgot the first and most of the second dream.

      Pizza And Apple pie

      Was watching a movie and eating apple pie with two guys and a girl in a restaurant.The movie made me and a guy there laugh a lot. Than suddenly a anime character came out the movie,grabbed my arm and told me not to give up or I'd fall to my doom.

      Dawn
      I was inside an unfamiliar room trying to fall asleep but than i got up. When I was standing up I suddenly noticed my sister too close behind me so I pushed her away.I than decided to go upstairs and find Dawn or Eye. When I was upstairs I decided to use the phone to call him. But I don't remember if he answered the phone or not. I saw him in the living room when he appeared though. But than after talking to him for a while the dream got unstable and he went somewhere else. I rubbed my hands than started counting. That's when i think the dream shifted. I was now getting out of a car with my brother's friends and my brother. I felt i had lost my hat but realized that what i was actually doing was dreaming.

      I started to call Dawn again and the dream setting began to change into my living room. It was day time and people were watching the news. On the news i saw what looked like a special secret service officer type of lady. She was on a court trial than got jumped by men on the court. The video sped up the more i focused on it. After that it changed to the weather and said TUESDAY 4 degrees on the bottom. I ran downstairs after that and looking for Dawn who than hugged me from behind. After that he took me to my younger brother's room.

      He showed me some paper drawings of a sad person with the words "I don't like you" or something like that. He showed me some other words too.As he was showing me this he was also talking.I wanted to remember what he said but it was hard to take in for some reason. I got the feeling he was trying to tell me that I was ditching him or hurting his feelings and that i had to be confident with my answer though. He than showed me two huge kanji looking letters that were silver/blue on the top wall that was in front of me(Not the ceiling). There was a small heart design next to one of the characters as well. He left as I was viewing this.

      I thought it was cute but got scared and was like "wait a minute...What if he wants my heart." I crawled under a window opening in the room and went through the bars. I flew off to on top of a building. Than flew higher and faster into the distance. As I was passing by stuff I was surprised my senses were working well for this long. The dream felt like it was almost real. I saw a yellow highway and cars passing on the bottom. I wasn't really sure where to go until i ended up at a daycare.There was a familiar looking teacher i recognized and she was alone with the kids.
      A few kids were misbehaving and i felt bad i could not help her since i was invisible.

      *There was also a part in here where I FA and thought i heard a toy action figure. But I don't recall when that was.

    9. Mushrooms!!

      by , 04-03-2015 at 01:51 PM
      Lost in "almere" loads of water. boats. building sites. builders. building on water.

      A store across the river with a big mushroom sign and a guy watching TV. I'm afraid to bother him but he seems unbothered to turn off his movie and talk to me, I ask him if he sells psychedelic mushrooms. He flips a coin. 50 cents.

      Oh. 50 cent? uhh. I think about it. 50 cent a gram? Yes!!

      That's about it. I try to find my family get lost across the town at some point when making my way back to the store or something and I somehow know that my uncle tried to find my in his car. I am almost lost in the freeway now. I first made my way across a strange building site. Am suprised that I made it all the way to the freeway.

    10. At a chinese temple

      by , 04-03-2015 at 10:37 AM
      Me, my wife and sister-in-law came home from somewhere. Finally we stopped at a Chinese temple that has many fishes. When we will leave the temple, my sister in law broke the glass of temple's door. Finally, I went back to the temple again to apologize to the owner. The owner is a good guy, we sit on a terrace that has many plants and mandarin song is playing. He said the price of the door is two hundred thousand Rupiahs (my currency) only. I said, fortunately its not millions because I had no money.

      when we were going to the exit door, I met with people from my hometown. They get together and chat with each other. I met with my aunt's family. My aunt is sick, but had to meet with the family law in this temple. The cost of treatment for her sickness is 10 million rupiahs per day (dammmn....) .

      Then when i wanna left the temple I met my sister and mother, we wanna went home together. The road was not the same with the time when i went up, steep and dangerous. Finally, I hold on to the grass and fell first and then help my mother, sister and my wife down.

    11. Mr. Kite is a Feathered Caterpillar

      by , 04-03-2015 at 10:03 AM
      Morning of April 3, 2015. Friday.



      I am in an unfamiliar outdoor area without many features. I am unsure of the implied time period. Apparently, it may be the 1960s, as I see young versions of the Beatles walking around though I do not interact with them. I get a sense of their innovation. I also reflect on how my best friend Toby and I could have seen them in concert in our teenage years if we had made more of an effort, which does not make sense as they had broken up as a band by then. I still feel cheerfully nostalgic. Even though I seem to be physically present, some of the events look quirky as if with film effects, including when the Beatles are walking and the frame rate seems altered. It might be implied to be footage from or for “A Hard Day’s Night” from 1964. Later however, the implications distort into also being linked to “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, which is from a later time period (1967).

      At a later point, I am listening to “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite” on a pair of headphones while sitting outside near a table. It is a very long fictional version, probably about eight minutes or more, and has random parts here and there vaguely similar to parts of “Revolution Number Nine”. The music has less instrumentation in some parts (as if one more instrument is dropping out of the recording every few measures) but at one point sounds a lot like the real version of the song.

      What intrigues me is vivid but incorrect audio of certain parts of the music. For example, near the last section, instead of the melodic flourish over the circus-like organ cacophony just prior to the return to the verse, it is the Dixieland air horn sound (as from the car on “The Dukes of Hazzard”). I hear this in the left channel. It makes me feel very cheerful.

      Also, during this time, I watch Mr. Kite, which is a black-and-white caterpillar made up of a long series of miniature “war bonnets” of mostly black feathers, each tiny “war bonnet” directly behind the other. It moves about on the table, seeming to be moving in time to the music; undulating rhythmically and turning about left and right, defining a narrow oval path; a surreal event.



      Update (same day): Yet again, a dream occurs that had imagery seemingly influenced by something Zsuzsanna had seen and thought about, something that I could not possibly have known about. In this case, it was specifically a caterpillar that she thought looked as if it had feathers coming out of its body, which she had seen on a children’s DVD (checked out by her for our two-year-old daughter) the night before. (I did not see it prior to my dream.)

    12. Dentist, muffin eaters

      by , 04-03-2015 at 08:26 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      I was at the dentists room. I was talking with a man at about his fourties. He was a little bald and had somewhat square chin. I looked around his room, and saw that it's unprepared to be used for dentistry. I tried to find a good sitting place. There was a chair hanging on chains, but it literally flewn when I tried to sit on it. The dentist started conversation:

      - Haven't I seen you before?

      - Well... It might be possible, but rather not.

      - You were with some girls, taking bought products right?

      - And it was last friday?

      - Yes! Why did you escaped from the school with them?

      - We had no more lessons and...

      - Ah... I see.

      I almost taunted the dentist, but I stopped myself. Then my mother appeared and dentist told her something about teeth illness he found out without ever making health examination. He just took samples of my spit and told that we should wait.

      I went outside, and saw the dentist entering car of my family. He told to me:

      - And don't try to go anywhere else. My brother controlls all the dentistry here!

      After that he went away. I shouted after him:

      - Yeah!... It's very incutlural... I mean very incultural to enter someones car!

      And entered the car. With father we drove away. I asked what about mother and sisters, but he told me that we'll meet with them. When driving back I saw some classmates going out of bus. Then on a crossroad we almost got smashed by two crazy truck drivers. After taking rest of the family we drove home.

      I was entering the kitchen, while everyone was playing with muffin eaters. Weird bugs you had to feed with muffins. One looked like a spruce branch, and was the most intelligent. Second was brown, and behaved like a small chicken. I remember also one resembling hedgehog. I feed them with muffins.
    13. Lucid and near-lucid dreams

      by , 04-03-2015 at 05:52 AM
      The past couple of nights I've had dreams that are lucid or near-lucid. On the first night I enter a bedroom with three figures in it. Two are women with raccoon tails having sex (yes, my dreams are often X-rated). I do a reality check by feeling a dresser in the room. It feels solid, so I think maybe it's not a dream. Then I focus on the third figure, who is a red/dark pink blob. I imagine it a woman. And it is so! I'm excited that I know I'm dreaming now. I have sex with her, transforming her body occasionally. Then I wake.

      The next night I'm in a public space, like an airport or casino. A woman walks by me and I telepathically tell her to kiss me. She does so! So I must be dreaming, I think. But I can't get her to do anything else. So my reality check returns a false negative and I conclude that I'm not dreaming.

      These two nights have my hopes up that this can be a regular thing.

    15. Snuggling in ‘The Void’, and Giving our Daughter a Sandwich Hug - Mar 31, 2015

      by , 04-03-2015 at 01:23 AM
      I went to bed around 10:00 Pm and woke at 3:30 for Wake Back to Bed (WBTB). Read some dream journals, and did some written and spoken mantras (to visit with my daughter while lucid), and then I went to bed and meditated to state where I was consciously awake with my body asleep. Unfortunately, I did fall consciously asleep, and I ended up in a dream where I was driving a snowmobile down a mountainous gravel road during the summer. I was pulling a co-worker on a bobsled, and we were travelling dangerously fast, so she said, “Hey, slow it down a bit!” It sounded like a good idea, so I pulled into a parking lot to take a break. The road just seemed to end in the parking lot, and I found that a bit strange, so then I questioned myself if I was dreaming or not. Yup, definitely dreaming, I’m lucid! I then woke from the excitement and I was back in the void.

      I was lying in bed with my mind consciously awake and my body asleep for a short period of time. Then I felt somebody crawl into bed behind me (I was laying on my left side), and then they reached around and hugged me with their right arm. I moved my dream arm carefully, so as not to move my physical arm, and I gently held onto the person’s wrist. It was definitely my daughter’s wrist, because she has very small delicate wrists. We laid quietly for about 5 minutes in ‘the void’, and then I decided to try and speak with my dream voice, “I love you!” It worked! I was able to talk without using my physical voice. I then felt ‘the vibrations’ happening, but I didn’t want to OBE exit because I was perfectly happy just lying there with my daughter. Soon afterwards ‘the vibrations’ ended, and then I heard a lamb go, “Baaaaah!” in my right ear! Little did I know I was false awakened.

      I sat up in bed unknowingly in a false awakening, and I saw my wife, son, and my son’s friend, all standing in my bedroom. My bedroom actually appeared as my bathroom, with my bed in it. I could hear rocks rolling around somewhere. I told everybody to get the heck out because I was trying to lucid dream, and they all just laughed at me. My wife passed me the I-pad, but it looked totally different, and I couldn’t get the dang thing to work properly, so I passed it back to her and she closed it like a laptop. All these dream signs and I still didn’t realize this was a false awakening. I was getting real angry with everybody being in my room, so I laid down in bed to fall back to sleep. That’s when I woke for real! Darn, that would have been an awesome lucid dream. Clarity was picture perfect!

      In this next dream, I was at a shopping mall talking to a pretty quadriplegic, black haired girl (in her 20’s) who was painting with her mouth. I asked her if she always paints with her mouth, and she replied, “Sometimes I paint with my hair”, as she grabs the paint brush and sticks it in her hair. So I smile and say, “Oh, you’re not paralyzed?”, and she nods ‘yes’ at me. So I sat down beside her to watch her paint, then she sat on my lap. I felt a bit uncomfortable with this, but I was willing to go with it. Then my wife walked up and pushes lightly on the girl’s back to get off me! Trying to avoid trouble, I stand up and walk off with my wife. I reflected on what just happened, and I figured out I was definitely dreaming! Lucid again (DILD)! I then put my hands on my wife’s shoulder and said, “We have to call for our daughter to come!” She momentarily looked puzzled, and then she caught on! We both started calling for our daughter to join us in this dream. We walked up a flight of stairs to a landing, and then my wife became distracted with something. Then I put both my hands on her shoulders and looked her right in the eyes and said, “You must stay focused. Keep calling for our daughter until she comes.” My wife had the strangest looking glowing bluish eyes. She agreed and we continued up to the 2nd storey of the shopping mall.

      Suddenly I heard my daughter say, “What? What’s going on? Huh? How come mom’s there?” BTW, there were tons of people in the shopping mall. Then I saw a little girl walk by, I thought maybe that was my daughter, but no, she walked right past us. We continued calling for our daughter. Then my daughter came running up the stairs and towards my wife. She was really young, maybe 5 or 6 years old, with curly blonde hair. My wife scooped her up in her arms with excitement and they hugged and kissed! I ran around to the other side, and together we gave our daughter a huge sandwich hug! That’s when I woke from all the excitement. I wish I could have stayed longer to see what happened next.
