I’m on a trip with my parents and an unfamiliar young man. We were all supposed to go to a casino—and they did actually go. But I didn’t care much for that plan, and so I’ve been off doing something else and only arrived back at the hotel room in time for their last trip there, late on the final evening.

I have the impression that this is a place they’re familiar with, but this will be my first time there. I’ve been told not to bring my purse with me for whatever reason, but I don’t like going around without writing materials on hand, and so I say that I’ll just take my wallet out before I go. But it seems my parents are so eager to get back that, rather than waiting the couple of minutes this will take, they go on without me, leaving the young man to drive us there.

Outside, it’s raining hard, and has been for a while, judging by all the standing water in the streets. As we go on, it only gets deeper, until the car, which is a fairly low one, starts having trouble moving forward. Some light on the dashboard has come on. He curses at the car—and quite probably my parents, who would have had no trouble handling this in theirs. I suggest that we just pull off the road onto higher ground, as some other cars seem to be doing, and walk the rest of the way there. It isn’t very far. He agrees to it.

The next part I remember clearly is being inside the casino, in a large room with a grand staircase, crowded with fancily dressed people. On the upper floor, near a restaurant area, I meet up with my parents again. It’s sort of like a buffet, with tables in a horseshoe shape, each one with an attendant behind them, offering samples of various kinds of foods to the guests. Mother is going to get a chocolate milkshake—apparently, a favorite of hers there—but my father isn’t interested. The idea doesn’t appeal much to me either, and anyways, this is all new to me: I want to try things out before I order anything.

He heads off somewhere else. I get some kind of a soup, and then head over to where they’re serving white wine. I try the sample they have there, which is pretty good—but they have all kinds of interesting drinks here, and this would be a good chance to try things I wouldn’t necessarily want a full glass of. And my mother is trying to get my attention from across the room, so I leave the table without ordering anything and head over in her direction.

Then, suddenly, I feel a spray of cold water—and the people around me do as well, judging by how they’re crying out. It seems someone is spraying people with a hose. I move out of the way, wondering what that was about. Maybe the casino staff themselves are responsible. The whole reason this place exists is to take money from people, after all—I think it’s best not to lose sight of that—and it wouldn’t surprise me at all for one to start charging people to keep things going nicely, once they’ve got them used to it.

Once out of range, I pause and kneel down to make sure the cat is still with me. He is indeed still there and comes to get pet. He’s an orange cat, an adult, though on the small side, and has been here with me this whole time. So far, nobody has noticed him—or else they just don’t care. But it’s still a little dangerous for him to be here with me, and so I’ve been making sure he stays close, waiting until I feel him against the back of my ankles before moving on.

Regular Dream - Semi-lucid Dream - Lucid Dream - Notes

I am at a party of some kind. Everyone is dressed up fancy, though very old fashioned. I look around to see what is going on. There is an old man sitting near me and he's getting a bit grabby with his hands. He reaches over and puts a hand on my thigh and starts sliding it upward. I push his hand away, giving him a dirty look. This guy is old enough to be my grandpa! What a pervert! He looks at me strangely, as if he'd expected me to not only allow his touch but to like it. He tries it again, but I just find it too creepy. I push his hand away again and excuse myself. I look across the room and I see a man enter, he is also dressed up but seems to stand out from the others. There are two others with him who look so young they might still be counted boys. For some reason my eyes are held on that man. And it seems he is having the same situation with me, he is staring straight back at me.

I am distracted from the man by the woman who had been sitting beside me before. She looks pissed. She asks what I mean by rejecting poor Mayor Thorin like that. My first thought of who Thorin is brings to mind a dwarf with a long white beard from The Hobbit. That makes no sense, I don't see any dwarves anywhere in the area. But the woman is angry. She asks what I mean by staring at that affiliation boy so openly. I figure she means the young man my eyes had been drawn to, but since I don't know why I was staring at him I don't answer. This makes her more angry. She calls me "Miss-oh-so-young-and-pretty" which really annoys me. I interrupt her and ask her please not to call me that. She says she will call me whatever she wants. I say that's fine, I tried asking nicely, so now I will call her "Miss-oh-so-loud-and-rude" whenever she does. She turns beet red and for a bit I think she might strike me. I say noting, but the primary thought in my mind is, "Bring it, bitch!"

I think there is going to be more to the party, people are bringing food out now. I don't feel like staying. I head for the door. The woman calls after me, calling me "Miss-oh-so-young-and-pretty" again and telling me not to dare walk out that door. I call back to her, calling her "Miss-oh-so-loud-and-rude" and I tell her I'm really not feeling well, I'll be in bed. I think the fact I actually called her "Miss-oh-so-loud-and-rude" left her speechless. I get out the door without another word from her, then I wake up.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

Going to some reunion party with my old school mates, but although we grew up and got old, we all look the same. I am getting ready at my mom's house, have my old room there with my clothes. She is very worried and tells me she is afraid of boys' behavior. I laugh and say we are grown ups now and last time I was with them, they behaved like adults. No need to worry. She doesn't want me to wear short shorts, I do anyway, but complement it with a very modest blouse.

On a boat with a large group. We are on a lower deck, because the upper deck is taken by some alien or mutant beings. We have a guard with a machine gun on the stairs, keeping them away, but sometimes they attack. They can regenerate missing organs and tissue but become still they are vulnerable after a few shots, so we have been able to keep them at bay.
A group of us wants to reach the shore, but others in command prefer staying on water , despite the mutants danger, so we are plotting our escape in secret. My dog Soraia is on board and she is friend with a whale that takes her for a ride on her back.

I am staying near my parents, who are still living together in an apartment. At dusk, they go to sleep, but I stay up looking through the window. There is some nasty weather. It's snowing and a lot of wind, like a cold hurricane. Then from the mountains comes an avalanche of ice and water. Some people are running in front of it and trying to warn everybody. I run to my parents, try to warn them. An abandoned ship passes by, dragged by this flood and we get in it.

Then on the ship I have a brother and two younger sisters, besides my parents. We consider where to go. Europe is a no no, as it is now covered in ice. We decide for west North America. It is supposedly warm there. We have some accidents along the way, one day the boat is flooded with red water, like blood, but we manage to pump it out. Then we start seeing a little girl, we think she's a ghost, but not. Turns out she is an orphan who was on the boat already. She carries a tech device with her (sort of a tablet) where she shows us a film of her parents talking about how they were on a re-population mission and had a lot of gadgets to help survival and ask us to take care of their child.
She then shows us the gadgets that are on board. First thing is a device like iron man's hands that allows someone to fly. My brother becomes the user and once we land in America, which is dry but deserted, he goes around exploring with this flying device. We assemble a high tech lab where we grows plant and have all sorts of gadgets to collect geothermal energy and grow fruits and we even have a high tech juicer, because juice is our staple food. I come to see my brother's latest plant acquisitions and I wonder what he is doing, because lots of plants don't seem edible, and seem of little value, except a weird bamboo plant that I rescued and is developing beautifully. Lots of weird insects are populating our greenhouse and I get tangled in a spider web with a nasty looking spider, but fortunately the spider falls to the ground and runs away.

I only had so long to sleep and knew i would be woken soon. In the dream there were familiies everywhere at my dads house All through the large house was no plce icooul use, Finaly it was explaing to me that 5 failies with kids a other were living here to shave on rent. My lucid mind whet about trying to deal with this, That is of course when th doorbell wraged.

Jamie 1

A dream of Jamie sitting on a couch. Some guy comes from behind her and tries to choke her or something, but she got some moves... She grabs his head and flips him over the couch and does all this kung fu stuff on him.

LOL

Jamie is DTF: down to fortnite . We are in the old retail row are looting and she keeps joking with me. I don't remember her being one to banter but we were doing stuff like that.


Jesus

A dream of Jesus giving Jamie a big hug. Nice.

What

Dreamed I was in some school that was on a hill or something. I had friends waiting outside and they left their beer inside and I was to retrieve it for them. I find the beers and stuff them in my pockets. Some security or professor guy starts yelling at me or something. I just go along with it. I don't want him to see the bulged in my pockets so when his back is turned i place the beers on bookshelves behind books. The guy is ranting for a long long time. When he finally leaves me alone I stuff the beers back in my pockets and run outside.

Stahp it.

Another fortnite dream... Jamie is watching me trying to kill someone who boxed himself up. But the two sisters I used to work with, C and C, are there, and we are also joking around. Jamie looks from afar and seems upset also her energy has gone from blue to a lighter teal. I just wish I could hear from her.

In the future. Part of a rebel group who can time travel and materialize in chosen places. We use our tech to fix some situations we consider unjust, but some powers that be don't like what we do, so we are highly persecuted for that.
One day, on a mission at some gala, we position ourselves until we are ready to strike, when one of us is detected. Fortunately no one else has, so we leave and regroup at another site and work on a plan B. Charlize Theron is one of us.

Been dieting lately, so getting to eat un healthy food in dreams is a plus. However, I have rarely had the food I create taste like much. I spent a lucid trying this out. My jelly doughnuts were noy half bad. But lets say only half good. Picture eating a Jelly doughnut in waking life when you have a bad cold. Still it was good enough to count.

Enjoying nice vivid DILD and at some point a DC of my wife is all concerned about something. I tell her I am not interested and am not going to bother trying to understand, as this is all just happening inside my dream. She doubts me so I demonstrate on some house plants. I make them sprout out of control and they all shoot up about three feet in 2 seconds. For fun I make plants sprout out of the ceiling to. Very fast and good results.It has not been so long in years since I journaled here about trying to develop this skill on tomatoes. At that point my friend rang my door bell and it woke me up. I kind of yelled at him.

Last night, bed at 8 pm - 4am

I'm talking to someone sitting on my left, when I say "wait a minute, something...." And I start counting my fingers. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... there is more of them, and some are getting longer. I know I'm dreaming and I'm happy to have recognized this sensation again. I remember my past "realizations".

1. I'm walking at night, yelling out loud "look how it's bright, there is sun..."and similar, to make night change into day. No luck.
2. As I'm walking, I see a yellow full moon on my left. I'm surprised, because everytime I look for it, I can't find it, or it disappears. I decide to fly there, as I always want to, but I'm really going anywhere. Flying, or just hovering. I stop trying.
3. I yell out loud some mantras, which I can't remember now.
4. I wanted to do something, so I decide to pull my eye out, like in one of the older tasks of the month. I lift my hand, get to my eye, but I get grossed out and change my mind. I pull on my cheek instead. It stretches and it doesn't feel good. Im satisfied that I did something.
5. Lots of sex at the end.
6. I'm laying down, watching my dream continue on a black and white, old TV. Knowing, that my lucidity is over.

THANK YOU!

I'm on a snow covered mountain with an old man teaching me to track. There is a man up hunting with his boy but they didn't manage to catch much. They seem to be getting ready to move to a different area in their Van. I ask if they'd like to pull our resources and the 4 of us track and hunt together. The man ask how good the old man is. "Supposedly he's pretty good" I say. "How good would you say you are old man?" I ask. "Oh about 70,80,90 years" He answers. I say "Well he's answering in years, I don't know what that's supposed to mean. He says 70,80, or 90. Experience maybe, some years counting double depending on the area?"

It is a bit darker than it was at the start of this conversation. The man starts looking for his boy and shines a flashlight or something that emits light around. We think we see the boy for a moment but he disappears the moment the light hits him. Unsure of what we just saw the man says "what the hell was that?". There is some commotion at the bottom of the mountain which is my home that is not at the bottom of a mountain in real life. The man and I go to investigate and we see up in a tree in my front lawn is a vulture tied to the tree trying to fly away.

I seem to understand that this bird tied to the tree is a curse placed there by someone. The man goes to cut the vulture free.

(This was written in 2014 when I was 16)
Hi, I'm Abintra and I'm new.
I guess I'll start with my very first memory of lucid dreaming. I was in Target, very unaware that I was in a dream, and I looked at a product and checked the price tag. "Why was it written in some form of Greek and illegible gibberish? I think this is a dream!" I thought. Immediately I jumped into the air but only made it to the roof of Target making a very tall arch. I had attempted to fly. Then a few large men, possible apes (it was hazy) ran at me as if my lucidity was forbidden. Thats when I obtained the will to fly. Soon after bursting through the ceiling of Target, the Earth below me turned into an ocean. I soared past ships and found myself in a New York style city (never been) past skyscrapers and buildings. I flew into a building, ran into a wall, and tried to talk to the hazy images that I know were people somehow. Then I woke up astounded by the entire scenario. I ran to my computer and searched for this incredible phenomenon. Then I got into lucid dreaming for about a week and forgot all about it. Sadly.

The non-lucid part of the dream started in a city at night. I was about 15 feet in the air wearing roller blades or ice skates and I was riding the air up in down in the sky. I was above the sidewalks on the side of the road and would jump over the road and ride the air on the other side. That eventually took me to this part of town inhabited by people that really liked me. I got the sense that I was happy to show up because they were waiting for me and they thought I was a hero or something. So I showed up and they were happy to see me, I took one of the guys by the face who had dark hair and a bowl cut, I look into his eyes and they were cross-eyed. I turned around and started walking away.

I started to fly into the sky again and then I just had this thought of, "I'm Dreaming.... I'M DREAMING!" and everything exploded into vividness. I started to soar into the sky, excited. I looked to the left of me and my friend was floating in the air next to me but he looked like a cartoon. I looked forwards again to take in this vivid city with cars driving on roads and a train on a rail suspended in the air. I started to fly over the city and everything started turning into the tops of trees, but it was a fractal pattern of these green leaves and I was zooming over them very quickly. I look up and see the sky is painted a very beautiful purple to orange to yellow scene with clouds spaced in a pattern.

That scene gave away as I started to wonder what the next scene was going to be. The dark part of the sky started to morph as I was slowly floating downwards into this tall room. The room was lit purple as I'm floating down into this library with massive bookcases that are moving and organizing themselves. I float and touch down onto the aisle in between the bookshelves. All of the sudden, I get this thought "I want to meet my dream guide." And weirdly enough the first thing that pops into my mind is Pennywise from IT. A massive bookshelf starts shuffling down the aisle at me and Pennywise pops out from behind it and startles me, causing the entire scene to disappear, and it came back but now the bookcases are all tipped over and books are destroyed. There's this little robot thing that looks like Albert Einstein but shorter and much wider and the thing is talking in a sort of song-like manner.

Then, I appear in my old room from graduate school and I'm looking at my desk where this robot/computer with a giant screen is sitting. I told it "show me something cool" and it started to play "Warm Thoughts" by Flume and changing around different objects on the screen to the music. While it's playing music there's a door right next to it which keeps flying open and I'm just casually throwing it shut as I'm watching the computer screen. I turn around and start walking slowly towards the door. There are these clown robot things sitting out in the dark hallway and they're just spinning and turning to the music. I go out into the hallway and flip on the light switch. In the living room are two women, one with long blonde hair and one with short dirty-blonde hair sitting under covers on a couch who I think were kissing in the dark. When I hit the switch they kinda just squinted their eyes and were like "hey buddy, can you turn off the light we were in the middle of something" so I turned the light back off.

And then I woke up.

Nothing impressive last night, and no lucidity.

1st dream: my notes say "in transformers/avengers/smashmouth lost drive -- walking to first day of new job. Walked into the (illegible) O_O "

==> I have no idea what this means. I must've woken from very deep sleep to hastily scribble this out. I am starting a new job soon now that I've finished my undergraduate degree, so that explains part of it, but I still don't have any personal recollection of this dream.

2nd dream: I do remember this. I went back up to Utah for a few days, and then was planning on going back to California for a few more days after that, and then back to Utah once more. I was about to talk to my friend to tell him I couldn't make it to his party, because I'd be in Cali, but then I woke up. I'm currently in Cali for a few more days, and I actually do need to tell my friend that I can't make it to his party lol.

I did SSILD to get a lucid dream after a WBTB. This time, the efficacy of the technique dawned on me. It isn't about the cycles or how long you do them, it is about the mere act of paying attention. It's about the mental act of bring background noises, sensations and objects to the foreground of awareness; noticing subtle things like: how one's cloths touch the skin, how tense or relaxes muscles are, the sound of the fan, the chirping of the birds and crickets, the weird shapes in the darkness of vision.

The mere act of paying very close attention stimulates the mind to the extent that the next time I fall asleep, I can't help but notice I am dreaming. Of course, I've only done this one time so more trials are needed. This hypothesis seems very plausible and could explain why techniques I've invented in the past have worked - staring through the eyes, mindfulness meditation, SSILD, listening to the white noise in the ears; they all require me to pay attention during my WBTB period.

~~~

The dream featured me walking down my street and trying to stabilize the dream. I call out repeated for Gray to appear; the dream character I have chosen to act as a goal for dream control. No matter how many times I call out, she doesn't appear. I attempt to walk to the park around my home and make it far enough until I find myself in a hallway; the end of it being a bookshelf. I close my eyes in the dream and imagine myself having the ability to walk through solid objects. I phase through the shelf and find myself on the other side in a room.

I find Gray sitting on a park bench inside this room. We greet each other and the dream ends.

I entered into dream onto infinite plane and in front of me was very, but very nice blonde elf.
I wanted to touch her around shoulders to see how real it will feel, but she jerked away from me... as she jerked away from me I somehow tore her tunic apart making her naked.
There were other inactive DCs around and they went somewhat active and started to stare. One of DC started to sputter (like robot) something like: "He didn't hurt her" which he repeated again and again while starring on her. She just stood and tried to cover herself. Unfortunately there was nothing much to use.
So I closed distance to hand her that ravaged tunic back, but she quickly embraced me... I felt her whole body on myself... interesting feeling. I hold her in close embrace a few minutes till dream faded away.
