NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had just arrived at San Diego; I rented a car and drove to mission beach. I went into a mall and rented roller blades. I was skating through the mall and went into a clothing store. In there I saw Mayela and Fabiola (long distance crush from grade 6). I thought of going up to them and saying hi, but it had been about 8 years since the last time I saw them. I ran into Paola, Laura and Pau. I thought it was funny we ran into eachother in San Diego, and we took a picture together. I looked for Fabiola but she had already left. I skated towards the boardwalk but it was hard because it was uphill. A kid and I were helping each other up. At the boardwalk I got kidnapped... by my dad. My brother was there and he had also "kidnapped" Fabiola and Mayela. I didn't take the whole thing to seriously. Fabiola had scars all over her face but she was still beautiful; she was really distant (maybe she didn't like being kidnapped). We drove to a secluded beach and found parking. The beach was like a bay with a small pier in the middle. There were huge waves; I wanted to go in and surf but there were tons of sharks.

I need to start keeping a book beside my bed so I can write dreams as soon as I wake up; I feel like I had more details on this one but I didn't write anything down until about 2 hours after waking up. I will also try to start being a bit more descriptive of the setting, details, and thoughts rather than just going through the plot.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a mall in San Diego, in some kind of race. I was running as fast as I could and I noticed Diego G. running beside me. We were debating on the existance of god and went into a bookstore; we grabbed an encyclopedia and read an exerpt on god (it was more like I stared at the paper and the information just came to me). We kept running and eventually arrived at the beach. I had rented two foam-top boards and I went into the water. My brother and Julio were with me. We kept getting swept north along the shore by the current. There were floating shops everywhere, it was like a small town on the water; the shops were all colorfull, like bright red, yellow, teal blue. We ended up next to a cliff with waves breaking against it. I checked my backpack to make sure my GoPro was in there. I looked towards the shore and saw a plane taking off; the plane had a big patio attached to it and I assumed it was for passengers once they were stable up in the air. I gave one board to Julio and the other one to my brother. They tried to catch a wave that was coming in. My brother stood up no problem, Julio stayed laying on top of the board as he grabbed the wave and at the shore he crashed into a little girl, but the impact was not too strong. The little girl's father turned around and punched Julio saying "Watch out idiot". I realized we were in the swimming only zone, so we got out and walked south towards the surfing only zone. We had to go through a building and pay $4.00; on the other side we could see the checkered yellow and black flag indicaitng the start of the surifng zone. A blond lifeguard was laying on the sand sun-tanning. There was a huge metal structure on the beach that had a big TV. It was playing an episode of Vikings merged with Game of Thrones. There was a fight in a big amphitheatre between a Viking and an Unsullied. The Viking slashed the Unsullied's throat and a stream of blood started flowing out, he dropped dead. Among the spectators were Ser Davos, Sansa, and Melisandre. The Viking started mocking Melisandre by asking the Lord of Light to bring the Unsullied back to life; it back fired by actually working, and the Unsullied drove his spear through the Viking's eye.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was at a mall; for some reason I was on top of a huge construction tower inside the mall with a female friend. She grabbed my hand and we started making our way down the tower, leaping from platform to platform and running down the stairs. We got to the parking lot and met up with the rest of the group. We started driving into the woods and found a secluded spot. We parked our cars and set up camp. It was night time, the moon was full and the sky was clear. We started playing soccer and more people started arriving at the campsite.

(WILD/SSILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I woke up 4.25 hours after going to bed. I remembered right away that it was time to attempt SSILD; I got out of bed and felt extremely tired. I stayed inside my room, just walking around and staring at things. After 5 minutes I went back to bed and laid on my back. I did 4 shorts cycles, but kept getting distracted by toughts; instead of worrying about these thoughts I just let them pass by and got back to the cycles. Then I started doing the long cycles, I probably went through 1 or 2 until I noticed I was falling asleep. I switched positions to my sleeping position (laying on my stomach) and focused on hearing my sleep fan. I don't know how much time passed or whether I fell asleep and then woke up, but I started hearing the buzzing that I am all too familiar with from my WILD experiences. I started feeling the tingling in my legs, and the sound coming and going. I waited a minute or so, and then stood up from my bed.

I was in my room, it was dark and things were not arranged as they actually are. I looked at the window and was tempted to jump out and start flying but decided not to, afraid I would wake myself up. "It has been a while" I thought to my self; I opened the door and walked down the stairs. It was bit lighter downstairs. I opened the backyard door and sat on the patio couch; It was dawn and the sky had all kinds of vanilla and purple clouds. It was so mesmerizing I thought I should take a picture of it, but then realized I wouldn't have it by the time I woke up. The dream was a little bit unstable, my vision was starting to get blurry so I started rubbing my hands together. I tried to remember other stabilizing techniques but I couldn't remember any, again, "it has been a while" I thought. I decided to just observe my surroundings and everything became really sharp. I was amazed at how surreal everything looked, and caught myself laughing out of pure enjoyment. I saw my dad driving around the corner and he asked me to help him with something. I leaped over the fence and we went to the garage. I opened the garage door with Telekinesis... We started cutting lumbers and I drifted into the dream.

I had another dream after this one, and when I woke up this morning I was disappointed because I thought SSILD hadn't worked, then I realized I did have SP during the night and that helped me remember most of the dream. Since I literally got back into lucid dreaming yesterday, this is a huge success and I know I need to build up by recall, as well as review other skills such as dream stabilization, dream recall, and dream control.
