Notes:
My recall is returning with school, as I believed would happen! This entry is from a short nap I took yesterday.

It was daytime; I was outside on a vast plane of land. You could see nothing else but flat ground covered in dead grass, except for one long, stretched-out hill that looked like the raised side of a ditch. This hill, raised a good seven or eight feet off the flat ground, went on for at least a mile, and this was where I was walking. The entire area had a vacant air to it, and the sky was a single-tone hue of rather pale blue which helped to create this atmosphere. Besides my own rather brisk walking movements along the top of the hill, everything was still. It almost felt like I was indoors, but not quite. I kept walking and eventually started heading down the hill, but not sharply; I took my time and mostly kept going forward. The perspective right now was in third-person, and I was viewing myself from the ground level about ten feet away.

The perspective changed, however, a few moments after I saw a girl in a pretty blue dress come into my third-person vision. She had blonde hair and was a bit younger than me, but not by much. She was fairly slim. I was now viewing things in first-person. I took a few more steps, looking down the length of the hill. I then felt her presence and turned to look behind me, upwards towards the top of this hill. I saw her there and I felt threatened, so I started walking up towards her with a glare in my eyes and gestured suddenly with my right hand, pushing it up into the air and slightly towards the left.

The ground ripped up in a big chunk along the top of the hill, right in front of the girl, sending dry clods of dirt and brown dust everywhere. The cloud of dust was probably only a bit taller than my own height of 5.4", but some of it sank down the sides of the hill.

"Get out of here," I warned her as the cloud was still clearing up.

She was nowhere to be found after the dust vanished, but I knew she wasn't gone quite yet.

I will eternally be mad at myself for not posting this sooner today. I rolled out of bed this morning and immediately typed some notes of what I remember into my phone, but they were only notes, and now (11 hours later) some of it is complete nonsense talk to me, and what I do remember is very vague, but the more i think about it the more I remember. So here I go:
(btw, these dreams are completely out of order, i have no idea how i dreamt them chronologically)

#1 - The Buzzcut
This is a short one. All i remember is that I was in my house, and suddenly decided that my hair was just too damn long and it infuriated me (which is weird because my hair was normal length in the dream). So, I went into the bathroom of my fictional house (the house I called my own in my dream was actually not my house or any house I've ever been in), grabbed the electric razor that I don't have in real life and very carefully started to cut my hair with it. I didn't necessarily give myself a buzzcut, as I was very precise with sculpting my hair with the razor in the dream, but I did cut a lot off. And in the end, I'm proud to say it looked like crap.

#2 - The Pool
In this dream I was at a very large public pool shaped liked a very large, boxy lowercase b (or q, depending of which side of the pool you were on). The water level was oddly about 15 ft below the edges of the pool, the surrounding areas of the pool laden with tables with red umbrellas. The pool was very deep, an undefined amount actually, because in the dream, sinking and drowning was of no concern. You just floated. There were also several pillars sticking out of the water, and I said the pool was shaped like a b (or q) because there was a middle square elevated on a single pillar that hung over the center of the pool. I was just swimming around, and nonchalantly started to swim as fast as a jet-ski, as it never occurred to me that this was not normal. I should also mention that I wasn't swimming in the normal sense. I had my legs together and straight with my arms down at my sides, and my head and back arched up, being propelled across the water by some magical nonexistent force. I controlled my speed just by thinking about it. This dream was probably inspired by me reading a dream journal entry by CasperKid:
Dream Journal-- Day 1 - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
(Dream 2 - about swimming)

#3 - Trip to Space Ship
In this dream, I was on some sort of field trip with a class or other group of students. We were allowed into a space ship orbiting earth (how we got to space, I don't know), and we were only allowed in because we were students. Normal people had to pay a ridiculous amount of money to be allowed in. Ha. (It was the equivalent of being allowed into a museum exhibition before its finished because you're on a learning trip). So, I hung out and fooled around with anti-gravity and watched a toddler play with toy cars on a ramp. (The surface of everything inside the ship was a glossy black bordered with red). It was a strange dream.

#4 - Alternate People
In the beginning, I was walking through a street on a cloudy afternoon with a group of "friends" (people I've never seen before but happened to be my friends in this dream). We were walking along when a truck pulled up and out stepped a vaguely similar "clone" of one of my "friends." (The kind of similarity between actors and stunt doubles, where they have very similar characteristics, but are really just wearing the exact same outfit). We were dumbfounded.
Then I was in my "house," in the garage looking outside (it was about noon now, and perfectly sunny) at an old fashioned truck that I had parked at an angle just outside of the garage. I turned around to talk to my "family," and when I turned back around, there were about a dozen "alternate people" resembling my "family" members standing outside in my driveway. I flew into a panic, to the same level of hysteria as if I just saw a hundred zombies charging at me. I angrily yelled at one female alternate wearing a yellow polo shirt like an insane person. Then the dream ended.


I had one other dream in which I was in a classroom, got bored, took a dump in my old teacher's office and ran away, outside and under some kind of hooded walkway, but I lost too much of the dream and can't describe it in much detail. All I can say is that I ran into Warren D. and Dominic H. standing next to a wooden "NO GUNS" sign posted under a tree in a college-campus like environment.

That's all....I hope I continue to get my recall back....I'll have to keep practicing...

The only thing I can remember is a fragment where I think I found my old copy of Super Mario Brothers.

Today i had only a fragment of dreaming and i remember only that i was there with H. and the boss and working serving people drink's but i didn't notice anything strange.My subconcience really doesn't want me to have a lucid dream

I was in my living room which was as brightly lit as it usually is in the day time. My partner was there and she was talking to someone else in the room, aside me. I think this was my dad but I don't remember anything else.

[COLOR="silver"]This night I tried to WILD before normal sleep. I have heard that it is impossible, but I was thinking and thought, if we can
be aware of a dream, to be lucid in that sense. And still be able to rest, wouldn't it be possible to stay have the mind awake the whole night and let the body rest. This is called Yoga Nidra "Conscious sleep". I have allways told myself that a dream is just a thought, but a vivid thought and I have even seen my thoughts become a dream in a WBTB DEILD.
So if I can just stay aware until my thoughts, become vivid then it should be possible.
I considered the problem of staying awake long enough for that to happend, but I came up with an idea to keep my mind busy and to totally forget about my physical body.

I like visualization, and day dreaming in that sense. I thought that if a dream is a vivid thought, then a thought must still be the closest to a dream that I can come while being awake. So my method to keep my mind busy is to daydream, but not the nornal way. Usually when we day dream we think about something and associate it with something else and suddenly we think about anything and then we fall asleep.

I started out by going through memories of my day in my mind, as detailed as possible. When this was done I assumed that I was perfectly relaxed, my body felt numb and uncomfortable feelings started to appear. Now I pretended that I was going to separate from my physical body into my non-physical body, pretend that I WILD so to speak.

So I visualised that I went out of my bed and I chosed two objects in each room in my house to explore.
And when I come to the kitchen I started to lose consiousnes from time to time, but I returned to the visualisation.
Eventually I lost it completely and I had a dream.

[COLOR="blue"]I were in my school and this dream was boring, because it was just about a normal schoolday.
Then I was walking home from that schooldream and suddenly I realised that it was a dream.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"]I didn't stabilise I was not aware enough in my mind to do that for some reason, instead I looked around and were surprised that I remembered this much from the real world, because it was a real location.
I took pace and ran and jumped and started to fly, I have had many fly dreams now so I had enough confidence to control this flying. And this time I decided to fly to the universe! When I were up there and saw the starts and the empty black space I started to accelarate and it almost felt like falling. And I fell and fell and suddenly I was back in my bed.[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]I heard my mom screaming "Your dad is shopping clothes!". "In the middle of the night?!" I said surprised. "Yeah go back to sleep" she said. And when I did I woke up for real...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]On my real awakening I did a reality check and I was now awake. I looked at the clock and it was now 4.40, so I went back to sleep.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was now standing in my tv room and a person I don't really like was laying on the couch and eating popcorn, this was a weird dream and I don't really remember it.

Then I was walking into a Chinese store, I looked at a t-shirt and it was a cool background and a text saying "Zhore".
I then saw a bowl of red balls, I asked what it was and the person behind the disk said "Dragoneggs" and then I woke up.[/COLOR]


[COLOR="silver"]I will make a new attempt to WILD today, but if I fail which I probably will I have an alarm to WBTB.[/COLOR]

So all I can remember was my dad trying to get me to go to Illinois with him. There are some more things on the edge of my mind but I can’t pull them out. My dad asks me if I want to go with him, says he will buy me a steak as well. I say sure and we leave almost immediately. We get to the restaurant and it’s closed, so we drive a little ways down the road to somewhere else. Lots of kids and moms are running around this place, and it’s super packed. All I remember.

I was in this alley way with some people from school. then some really shady people came along and I left. I then heard yelling so I thought there was a fight, so I ran back. I forget what happened...

I was about to try and bum a cigarette off of my friend's friend, but then decided that would be annoying, so I stopped halfway through asking him. My friend would doesn't smoke in real life then gave me one.

I find myself at my mother’s house with two of my older brothers. In the dream, I know it’s my mother’s house but it’s not the same house as in the waking world. My mother is complaining because some baby ducks are either trapped or holed up underneath the house and/or porch and they keep “chirping”.

My parents have a 2 ½ acre yard with a pond in the back half of it. When I was little, we had ducks on the property, so it was not unusual back then to see baby ducks around the house now and then.

Anyway, in the dream, my Mom is afraid the baby ducks will die if they’re not rescued, plus the chirping is driving her nuts. So me and my two brothers crawl under the house/porch and retrieve the baby ducks. In doing so, we also find that there are some small green birds under there as well. They’re about the size of a small mouse. I pick up one of the birds and as I do, it tries to bite my hand. Luckily, I have gloves on. I tell my brothers, “It’s trying to bite me.” One of them says something like, “Yeah, watch out. They’re mean and they bite!” I can’t seem to stop the bird I’m holding from trying to bite me, and I’m starting to lose my grip on it, so instinctively, I squeeze the bird as hard as I can to try and kill it. It seems to work, because the bird stops moving. I look around for a place to dispose of it, but don’t see any trash cans around. So I end up just tossing it into the bushes.

I usually remember more than one dream during the night. But I'm on vacation in Honduras scuba diving and sleeping in a strange bed. I tossed and turned and only got about 5 hours of sleep.

13 Sep 2011

Some weird psychotropic thriller, I do not know what was going on but Dark_Merlin and I were attempting some weird lucid technique and every time someone said its title it occurred for one of us but it was extremely traumatic. It was a teleportation but it was sudden, uncontrollable and felt like what apparition in Harry Potter is described to feel like only worse. It scared the hell out of me and actually had me not wanting to go back to sleep when I had woken up for the first time in about ten years. I feel that I must admit that I was actually scared of becoming lucid and I hope that this is not a barrier to future attempts. Hamish and Andy had also requested that I meet them for lessons in walking each week. The girl I love was also at the tennis courts. The dream jumped between all of these things in a weird order. The whole dream was rather traumatic at the time. I was genuinely terrified of going back to sleep.

12 Sep 2011

Actually managed to WILD tonight... I was lying in bed bored and trying to sleep, I was pretty relaxed even though I had not previously been sleeping and I just decided to construct dream scape around me. I built a castle around me but instantly forgot that I was dreaming and so the whole WILD experience was non lucid i.e. WI(N)LD. I was lucid for a grand total of maybe ten seconds so I will not count this as a proper lucid. I went on to explore a church yard at night and some other Gothic style stuff, I surprisingly do not remember much. Then again I was busy this morning and so have left it about eighteen hours to write it down.

Deleted

I wasn't really able to write these down until now, I just had lots of things to do.
I have noticed that my dream recall has been acting a bit weird over the past few days.
I just seem to remember a ton of dreams, though most of them are very vague and fragmented.
My dreams don't seem to be more vivid or any longer though, so I'm not really sure if it's "better".
Nevertheless it feels weird remembering like ~10 different fragments a day.
These are a few interesting ones.



Totm Attempt #1: Butterfly
I WILD during an afternoon nap, trying to complete the Totm.
I'm quite confident that I'll manage to succeed on the first try.

My dream starts on "the beach".
For some reason some of my WILD's randomly seem to start out on this beach.
It always looks the same, and it is always dusk.
I remember the Totm and approach the water in order to walk on it.
This is going to be easy I have done this many times before.

But as I approach the beach I suddenly spot a butterfly.
It is extremely colorful, with very colorful and vivid patterns on its wings.
It's emitting glowing particles.
I follow it, intrigued as to where it is going and completely forget about the Totm.


Totm Attempt #2:
I have another dream of being lost in an unknown hotel.
I become lucid and remember the Totm.
The dream is unstable and I'm not thinking very clearly.
Instead of stabilizing, I start running around aimlessly, attempting to find a water surface.
The dream quickly fades to black and ends.


The hibiscus girl:
I had another dream about the hibiscus girl: Another mysterious woman / Emotional and sensory overload - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
Unfortunately my recall of it is quite bad.

This time we are on the surface of another planet.
She has a red hibiscus attached to her left ear, looking very similar to the one drawn on her bikini last time.
We're having a discussion, I demand to know who she is.
She refuses to tell me though.
It seems clear by now that she is reading my DJ, I'm considering that she might be a DV member.
I make the comment that she has an "unfair advantage" over me, because she's able to read my DJ, yet I know nothing about her.

But she keeps denying my requests, and says that she likes being in control.
I remember that last time she was able to drag me to another place by simply looking into my eyes.
I attempt to do the same thing to her, and manage to drag her to the beach.

This surprises her quite a bit, but it also seems to amuse her.
I say that I never stated that I write everything down in my online DJ, she might be in for a few surprises.
She makes a comment that makes me believe that this is some sort of game to her.
I somehow understand this reasoning though and begin to share it.


Totm Attempt #3:
I decide to attempt the Totm yet again. I'm determined to complete both tasks.
I do it during an afternoon nap yet again since I had some success last time, except that I got distracted.

Surprisingly, I enter the dream on the beach yet again.
This time I decide to stabilize the dream though, and calm my mind.
I rub my hands and slowly approach the sea.
I feel the sand beneath my toes. It's still moderately warm.

For some reason I'm a bit nervous as I start walking on the water surface.
Oddly enough I seem to be afraid to fail, even though I've done it many times before.
Fortunately, it works flawlessly.
I walk on the water, deeper into the sea with my arms stretched out for additional balance.

Alright, so far so good, controlling elements is next.
I look at my right hand and make it catch on fire.
This is quite straightforwards as I have manipulated fire many times before.
But what other element could I possibly manipulate?
Water...? No. That's probably too hard.

I create an arc of lightning between two of my fingers.
I think that I have completed the Totm for a moment, but then realize that lighting isn't exactly one of the 4 elements.
What were the other ones again?
Fire, Water... Earth? I wouldn't know what to do with earth...
Wind it is.

I compress some of the air around me into my right fist and release it forwards.
This creates a shock and air is propelled forwards.
The pressure upsets the water surface.

I'm not really satisfied with the result though.
I do the same thing again, this time compressing much more air.
This time it creates a small tornado, that runs flat over the water surface.
It lifts some of it up and sprays it all over the place.

I'm quite satisfied, and happy that I managed to complete both tasks within a single dream.
I decide to dive into the sea to see if I'll find something interesting, but it doesn't take long until I wake up.


Destiny:
After a long time, I've started having dream fragments of "Destiny" yet again: Recurring dream about a spaceship mission to find extraterrestrial life. - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
None of them drove "the plot" forward though.
I was always on board the Destiny completing a random task.
My memories of the dream fragments are quite vague.

Dream fragment...at the bank?


All i remember is standing in line at a bank..then standing infront of the atm outside but couldnt makeout the screen, it was su full of information i couldnt figure out where to start reading...... then a guy flew by on a jetpack with another guy on his back and someone yelled "hey you cant do that! you'll burn their butts!" woke up

I know that the setting was in an underground cave. All that I can remember is that there were a few lights strewn across some underground highway and that there were these portables off to the side. I was near a portable when I pulled out a book describing how to have a lucid dream and which technique worked best for the author of the book. At the top of the text on both pages, drawings of animals and plants filled the space. Though, I doubt they had any real significance.

Well, it's time to start focusing on dreams once again.
