LD 120 - Gliding and Flying Again
After struggling to fall asleep again, I sink into my thoughts about my sister keeping a vlog on youtube, which happened in a previous dream. While thinking about commenting on the videos and stuff, a dream has formed around me. I’m gliding on the floor of an empty apartment and spinning too. I’m in a resting position like in waking life, but just spinning and gliding. Suddenly I’m outside on a sunny day, gliding on a street through a city. My thoughts rationalize slowly that I must be dreaming.

I continue to glide down the street until a store stops me. I don’t want to go inside again, I remember struggling to get outside in previous lucids. I stand up and start flying over the city. I cross over a small river and notice there’s a dark spot covering half of my vision. It’s my waking life hand that’s resting on my face. I try to ignore it and make it go away, but I focus on it too much and wake up.

Fell asleep at: 11:00 PM

Woke up at: 3:30 AM


No dreams to report. Had a nasty headache before going to bed, while also having listened to Silent Hill 1's main theme earlier in the day. I don't know which made it harder to fall asleep.

10pm screens off, took melotonin, dreamleaf supplement, and about one tablespoon of raw honey and MCT oil.
10:30pm in bed, meditation, dream yoga visualization practice, mantra: breathing in, I remember my dreams, breathing out, Lucid Dream TONIGHT.
3:30am WBTB, only long enough to take galantamine, second DreamLeaf pill, and go back to sleep

My first memorable dream, I was at a friend's house, and he had told me he had broken up with his girlfriend two days prior, and we started fooling around a little, but his roommate woke up and heard us and shamed him for hooking up with me so soon after his breakup. He left, saying he should stay with a friend since this was a bad idea, and I kept trying to assure everyone that it was okay, this is only a dream! But I wasn't entirely sure, so I started trying to check to make sure, at which point I fell head first off the bed into an almost black area where all I could see was the floor, and I was alone. The patterns on the wood floor were moving, and I bounced around strangely, and even though I was alone at this point I said SEE, this IS a dream! But with nothing around me, and several failed attempts to summon a portal midair, I tried to phase my hand through the floor.

This is the first time I've successfully manipulated a LD! I put my hand to the floor, thought about how it would feel to phase through it, and blamo! I pushed the rest of my body through, looking for a wilderness dreamscape to forage for food in (task of the month!). I get to another empty, warehouse like area, and my sister Anna is there, pointing to a structure that I climbed, leading to an outdoor area. There was woods and grass but also a bar with several bowls of berries and other foods; I open a jar at the far right of the table, and although there are gnats flying around it, I pick a large chocolate chip cookie from the jar, and begin to eat it. Delicious. I wake up.

I don't move, and allow myself to fall back asleep. I reenter the dream world. I'm in an area with several shops, it's raining. I know I'm in a dream, and I'm walking around (rather awkwardly) looking for a door or other portal. A little girl is following me. I hold out my arms and feel the raindrops hit my skin, my arms are red. I rub my hands together for stability. I find a shop with large windows, press my hand against it, then through it, and then step through. In this room are several tables with members of my family, and on the wall is a picture from my sister Tina's wedding. I feel deep love. I look back to the window, and see my reflection. For the first time, I'm able to change my appearance in front of a mirror. I guess I was hoping to go to the Land of Oz, so I try to make myself look like Dorothy. It doesn't exactly work, and I revert back to my normal reflection. Good effort. As I begin to walk through the window to look for Oz, my cat jumps on my bed and wakes me up.

When I finally get back to sleep, after writing down notes to remember the previous 3 dreams, I'm somewhere with bad guys, and they're looking for me. I'm able to use telekinesis to throw them around, but from behind a wall, so I don't actually see this but rather experience it as a puppeteer would. I wake up when one of them finds me.

I've never had MULTIPLE LD's in one night, or managed to do a DEILD. Very happy with my progress!
Side note: does anyone else dream about writing in their DJ and wake up to realize they didn't jot down any notes? This keeps happening to me. I also seem to remember hearing sounds as if someone was on my roof, thinking it was real, then realizing it was just HH and that this was the in between dream state.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I have waken up the past two nights with the mantra I am going to wake up after each dream and remember it, all according to StaySharp's post, "The Dream Recall Compendium". I have waken up at different times of the night all from 23:40 to 04:50. But the cool thing is that I think I have found my natural awakening time. All these three nights I have waken up 16:15 +-5 minutes and can't resleep! It's pretty amazing. I also think that my awareness in dreams get better when I wake up after each dream because now I have had two lucid dreams in two nights.

Bamse appears and there is some fight between him and someone else. Lille Skutt throws a Dunderhonung to him and Bamse gets really strong and punches the evil person way up to the skies.

I am home and dad has a mini submarine with a laser pointing forward. My mind enters some kind of a TV-screen and I watch some kind of movie about solving the pussel with this submarine and the laser. I am back in my home and Klaus is also there. He takes a look at the submarine, looking at it from different angels and says that he loves things like this. The next dream is strongly tied with this one.

Maria, my chemistry teacher, shows up and tells us to solve the pussle from the last dream. There are many videos and they are mostly underwater videos. My PE teacher Per comes and we are to go canoeing. I am in the back of the canoe but I fall over all the time. I blame the other ones for being bad in my mind because I don't do that usually. Our canoe is really long and all my class of 12 people fits. There is a huge boat in the sea and the goal is that we paddle to it. I fall into the water and decides to swim after the boat, pushing it forward instead. My PE teacher shouts out "That's another way you can do it on!" and laughs. We come up and Tasnim and Wencai talk about how this school thing is worth doing because they save much time by doing it. I am confused and gets really tired. I start to snore but I'm not sure if it was in the dream or if I was half sleeping in my bed because I wake up afterward.

I'm outside school and I realize it's a dream. I look around and see all these people from church, some missionaries and more. I'm not sure if it's a dream anymore so I pinch my nose and try to breath, it works. Cool, I fly to the trees and there is a very big eagle in a tree in its nest. The eagle has big black coat looking wings that stretch out. That freaks me out a little but I keep on going. As I walk I stabilize the dream by touching the trees and my face. When I touch my face its a little bit like cold sandpaper and I get even more aware that its a dream. I enter my school and there are loads of people there. I walk to the left and the school is not actually like my real school. There is a desk and two old teachers I recognize. I say hi. I go into my swedish teacher's room and hit her with a big vase, expecting her to fall down and the vase to break. None of that happens and she grabs me and carry me out. I remembered that I read that you shoudn't hit your dream characters because they are a part of you. I realize I have messed up and I should've apoligize I think now. I keep on going outside. I meet with another girl in my age and we interact.

Possible recurring elements: My home, school, classmates, waters

Notes: I dreamt about Bamse because I thought of him yesterday. The submarine is probably because I live by the coast and it's kind of natural for me. Maria is the teacher most common in my dreams. It's cool how I realized it was a dream, I'm amazed by myself! Good job myself. I love birds and the eagle was a sign of my bird side. I forgot to do my goals in the LD but it was still fun.

These are the three moments I achieved lucidity since the quarantine began, which all happened before I made an account.
1. I was walking along a gravel path, with someone, who exactly I don't remember. I remember seeing a green sign with white writing along the path, and realizing the words made no sense, I looked at my hands to confirm this was a dream. Clear as day, my pointer finger on my left hand split into two at the middle knuckle, and my right hand had an additional one or two fingers. I realize that YES this is a dream! Looking up, I see an amazing autumn scene around me. The gravel path goes on Northwest for a long while, and in front of me a valley of bright green grass with a row of trees with the most vivid and colorful red, orange, and yellow leaves grow along the far side of the field. I could feel the gravel crunch beneath my shoes, the warmth of the sun, the coolness of the breeze. Just as I decide to do something to influence the dream in some way, it fades away. I'm left with an overwhelming sense of peace.

2. I'm in my apartment kitchen, looking at my hands, doing a reality check. The clock on the stove isn't making any sense. I know this is a dream, but its very dull and dim. I rub my hands together, keep looking at my hands in an attempt to bring the dream into focus. I close my eyes and can't open them again, everything is black. I think, SCREW IT, and throw myself backwards, hoping to land in another dream. Instead I fall off my bed, spinning and falling in total blackness, until the dream ends and I wake up in my bed.

3. After several other vivid dreams, I find myself at a large body of water in a tropical place, possibly Nicaragua. There are wooden platforms, like docks, that start on the side of this body of water that I'm travelling from, and connect to the other shore. Along these docks are these sort of porch set ups, where people are hanging out. I'm walking across these platforms and about halfway across, I stop to look at the sea. It's stunningly blue and beautiful, and I think, yes, this is a dream. I rub my hands, count my fingers, and say CLARITY NOW several times until the scene is relatively stable and in focus. I see a boy I used to have a crush on from highschool, walk over to him, and try to kiss him. He rejects me, becomes someone else, and then I wake up, probably from the dissapointment. I wish I'd jumped into the water and gone swimming instead.
