I am working in some kind of top secret facility, assigning crypto keys to each person as they walk through. Each person walks up to the desk and swipes their CAC card. Once the card is read, checked, and approved, a crypto key is written to a memory card which I hand to them.

When I was little, one of my favourite stories was the famous "Lost City of Atlantis." So I thought to myself, why not try to find this place during a lucid dream. So, here's my account of yesterday's attempt:

The sky was gloomy and darkness encompassed the vast ocean beneath it. I was in a small dingy boat paddling as hard as possible against the mighty waves generated by the powerful wind. Lightning flashed in 2-3 second intervals which actually did the job of illuminating this landscape. I figured if I paddled long enough I would reach some sort of land eventually, so I carried on doing just that. Moments later I saw a huge, huge shadow passing beneath the dingy - made obvious by the intense lightning overhead. I began to notice that the water around the boat started to sink downwards into this shadow and soon enough a large mouth emerged from where the shadow was located, and shallowed the entire dingy and me along with it. What happened next felt like one of those rides you get in theme parks. I realised that I was probably inside a whale's mouth. The sheer force of water pushed me towards the back- there was an immense waterfall at this end of its mouth because it led to the whale's stomach. Desperately trying to avoid becoming whale food, I held tightly onto one of its taste buds, which was soft and cushiony. At this moment, a huge pressure that was building up forced me towards the blowhole and I was blown out of the whale with extreme force. As I fully regained consciousness I saw it before my eyes. The lost city of Atlantis.

Sadly I woke up shortly after this. Hopefully I can go back tonight.

"Minecraft Repeat"
For about a year since I last really tried to dream recall, I think I'm off to a pretty great start. I have a feeling that I either had this dream earlier that night or before at another time.

The first fragment I remember is of me in a massive Minecraft generated world, with rolling plains and mountains. It looked more realistic than your average map. I recall cutting down hundreds of trees and mining tons of iron ore. I also found a cavern and made a little fireplace.

The next part of this series I can remember was last night. The last thing I can remember is helping two guys get a huge boat out of a little pool of water they'd dug that connected to the ocean. I can't remember exactly what happened before that, but I have a feeling it had to do with some sort of competition I had to complete to get them out. Perhaps a boat race? The crowd cheered and a narrator came in, saying some typical video game speech about how they left to find new adventures and crap like that. Next, I transported back to my part of the world, anxious to try out the new boat mod I'd installed. I wondered if I could sail across the whole ocean, exploring new lands. I went around a small mountain and loads of saplings and iron ore from my previous dream laid on the ground. I went around picking them up. I saw my cavern, and as I walked towards it I gradually woke up.

lucid (MILD), non-lucid, fragment

I am throwing boomerangs with a few other people in a large open area with a treeline off in the distance and grassy rolling hills. The words 'lucid dreaming' are rolling through my thoughts, and I begin to hear them in the dream as if they were distant thunder. I become lucid and realize that it is due to my mantra as I was falling asleep that I became lucid. The boomerang I have is a bright yellow, and as I throw it and it comes back to me, it turns into a triangle shape. I decide to make it into a frisbee. I press against the side of it with my thumb, and it splits into multiple brightly colored triangles. I realize that this will not work, so I give it a good snap with my wrist, hear a loud crack, and it becomes a regular frisbee. I throw it, and it flies up, circles around me, and lands back in my hands. The remainder of the dream is me throwing the frisbee and flying after it.

I remember more dream fragments that also seem very vivid, and possibly lucid, but I am unsure if they are parts of the same dream. It's a great feeling to finally be lucid again.

Dream - Lucid

All I remember from last night is a dream about killing people...I don't remember the details. I think the people were people that I knew. It was kind of like a video game. There was some goal that was being achieved by me killing the people.

All at once I realized that I was in a dream and had been dreaming for a while, but my memory just started recording. The first thing I thought to do was pinch my nose and attempt to breathe. I was, in fact, dreaming. However the moment that I consciously accepted this my mind tricked me onto a FA.

Unfortunately for it, I knew better after reading and practicing to always RC when I wake up, so I repeated the previous reality check and I could breathe. This time I actually had a moment to take in my surroundings before my mind kicked me out. It was a hospital like setting and I stood up next to the bed I was on which for some reason was my bed and attempted to pull back the curtain. The moment I began to try to take control I was awakened for real, his time into an episode of sleep paralysis.

This time I stayed calm and attempted to drop back into a dream, if I did or not, I'm not sure but I know I did fall back asleep. Later I awoke all of a sudden to the program I had running on my phone telling me to do a RC. The rest of the night was uneventful.

So like, I haven't written in my online dream journal for what feels like months. In truth, I've slacked off quite a bit with writing down my dreams.. Somebody slap me silly until I'm back into shape.

But yeah, figured I might as well share this, as it sets my new personal record for lucids in one day. My recall ain't the best (if anything, it's rather poor) as I didn't write them down until the end; just fragments really:

Lucid = orange

I'm in my house with other people but there are things about it which are different. The girl who I encountered earlier in the dream has become quite attached to me, and hasn't left my side since. I ask her if she's my dream girl and she says yes.

I'm in a room and there's 2 people with me. For some reason I kill them, and then when somebody comes to see what's happened I fake out that my legs are broken and that I can't move, so it couldn't have been me. I get away with it.

Upon waking from this, I didn't bother writing it down, but instead laid completely motionless (not even opening/moving my eyes) and allowed myself to go back into the dream:

I'm back in my house - upstairs. I race down the stairs and through the door, and it's night time. I fly off down my neighbourhood and down the road a little while. I then land myself and notice cars going past me. I decide to try spawning a lightsabre. Looking in front of me, I pull my left arm back, and then throw it underarm but to the side like how you draw one of those toy lightsabres. Sure enough, I spawn something in my hand, but it's not what I expected; I'm holding a blue whiteboard marker. I ignore this momentarily and try to summon the 'blade' bit of it, which comes up fine. I try to test my force powers so I throw it into the distance and then will it back to me, which works perfectly. I retract it and then try to change the appearance of the handle bit, in the same way that I summoned it to begin with, with a proper lightsabre in my mind's eye. After 2 or so attempts I succeed with a darth vader style one, however it's quite small.

I then woke up again, this time moving a bit, then went back to sleep.

Note: There was a bit of a dream which happened before this fragment, which involved something to do with me being tired at a friend's house and sort of crashing out, with my friend Martin trying to get me to play with fire (but that's all I can remember)

I'm in town at the beach (the beach = grassy area next to the centre of town in front of a church) and Martin has got me in a lock so I can't move. He's calling me a pussy and setting my hood on fire in multiple places. I then spot Mr Waldron (my head of house back in school) and call for help. He rushes over but doesn't do anything. I eventually manage to break free and at this point is where I think I became lucid.
2 girls are gobbing off at me from behind. I walk up to one of them and grab her by the necklace and chokeslam her, setting it as a warning to anybody else who wants to start sh*t. A guy runs up behind me and tries to jump me but I'm aware of him and do a roundhouse kick which almost hits him in the face, causing him to fall back. Then a nob I went to primary school with tries to start something. He comes up to me and says ''Sam, you couldn't knock anyone out.'' so I throw a punch and we both turn into paladins. I'm a retribution spec and he's protection, so it turns into a long battle which mainly consists of me dealing heavy damage but him healing through all of it constantly. I figure this isn't going to work so I try to look for my bike. It's located within a coffin right next to us, but will take me a while to open so I stun him and seize the opportunity. I succeed and mount up, riding off and leaving him in the dust. After I've got some distance, I convert my bike into a flying mount and soar into the air, getting higher ground so I can survey the beach from a safer position.

Again, I wake up, and this time consider writing everything down so that I don't forget, as I've just had 3 lucids. I take too much time lounging around thinking about it though and end up falling asleep without knowing.

I'm on the computer on MSN, and I've just got a random multi-convo add from 2 girls. Something tells me it's the 2 girls from the beach so I ignore it and close the window. Dad then calls me into his study as he wants to show me something. While he's talking, I suddenly remember that just now I was going to sleep, so I must be dreaming.
With this awareness, my surroundings and vision become a lot clearer and profound, reinforcing my knowledge. I let Dad continue with what he was talking to me about, but pay no attention to it. I'm more focused on the little details on his shirt, the study, my house, where it is I actually am.
I then go out of his study and into the kitchen. I'm only wearing my underwear but I don't care since it's just a dream. I then spot a couple of hot girls getting tans in my garden; I figure this could be a goldmine. I walk outside in my bare feet and note how the grass feels - it feels like it should, yet it isn't real. I then feel the need to whip my cock out as it's getting rather uncomfortable, and it is only a dream so nobody will mind. I then walk closer to these girls and note that my eyes didn't deceive me. I turn my back for some reason and then turn back to them, to find they're gone. I remember reading up about dream characters requiring your attention to be present, so I walk round to the other side of the garden expecting to see them. Sure enough, I find them, next to the wall. 2 of which are sitting down, and I pick the one furthest away from me and get her to give me head. Things get heated and I get extremely horny, so I call the other 2 over and tell them to share it between them. However, one of them asks me what I mean and then things go a bit crazy for a second. When I come to I'm back in the house. One of the girls is next to me, one of them is in the kitchen, and the girl I picked is walking into the kitchen. I call her over but she doesn't respond, so I get up and walk over to her, pulling her back to where I was sitting. I then sit back down and pull her down with me, and start having sex. All the way through, I'm worried about waking up like I have every other time so I put more focus into other senses. Surprisingly, I get to the point where I can feel a climax coming on and continue with what I'm doing. It then comes and I find myself astonished at the fact I had just successfully had proper lucid sex for the first time. I then wake up shortly after.

so i was dreaming last night and remember this scene it was like GTA 4 but with a weapon that seemed like Destroy all human's weapons "the game" and halo . so it was like a 1st person GTA scene that i was in and i shot people and all of a sudden i cycleing through the weapons and find a gun that i dont know what its purpose was it only hade like 36 bullets the bullers were big about the size of a cork but bigger with caps on it it was a big alien'ish gun i then found out the gun swiped memory so i shot a bullet everyone ran then when i shot them with that gun they would return walking casually i hade about 3 other guns that i didn't try out "if only i would of" but the dream was cool.

Date: 08-02-10
Length: 2 Minutes
Vividness: 7/10

I was in a room.
A strange circular blockade, built with these big pillows completely surrounding me.
In the middle was a also a circular blockade built with the same pillows.
Directly across from me on the other side of the middle blockade was a man.
He looked awfully crazy.. Like he wanted to kill me.

He started chasing me around the circular "play area", but could never catch me as we were running the same speed.
However I knew that if at one moment I took my eyes off of him, he could fly directly across the middle, mimicking a Boo from Mario.

-frenchblablabla

I took a nap this evening and had a dream that was grotesquely gory (yet strangely beautiful [in a sense]). I was pretty much watching myself tear through my flesh with a gun (a MAC-10 I beleive? Idk, something automatic) and then eventually dying once I was nothing more than a mound of sopping flesh. Not nearly as pretty a sight as it sounds, I assure you. The dream then went on and kind of showed me a "what if" and gave me a rundown of various things I was missing out on now that I was dead. The dream ended with me and this girl that I'm almost, kinda, sorta, not really but in a sense I am with in real life. I think. Yeah... I don't get it either. I get the feeling like I'm "just a friend" but then there are times where it seems like it's more than that. As if she wasn't hard enough to read already, now there's this other guy that she kind of seems to have a thing for as well. Oh god, what if I'm one of those pathetic saps that don't realize they're being strung along... Does this mean I have to start laughing at myself now? D: It's complicated and you probably don't even care so I'm not going to go into it any further. Anyways, the dream replayed my first kiss which was with her a while back.

Not the most pleasant dream I've had, rather disturbing actually, but I enjoyed it nonetheless because of the rush of relief that followed when I woke up.

I was inside some kind of huge mall building with many semi-mossy stone walls in the inside. I'm sitting on a wooden bench attached to one of these walls in the middle of a square area looking after a younger version of my little sister when two girls from my year at school walk past. Let's call the Caitlin and Georgia, the latter of the two i barely know in real life. So Georgia comes up to me and asks if I've already been asked to go with someone this October. At first I didn't know what she meant, but then I thought of the school ball (which in reality my year can't go to until next year) and said no, I haven't been asked. I then say did you want to go with me? She sheepishly nods and says "Yeah". So I reply "Yeah for sure I'd like to go with you, it'll be nice." She smiles and blushes and says "Thanks" to which I reply "No worries". She then walks back to Caitlin and I assume she tells her our conversation because then Georgia looks over to me and I smile, making her giggle flirtaciously. I then walk up to them and say to Georgia "I guess I'll see you then" and they then walk off and I hear Caitlin saying I'm 'such a kiwi bloke'

Dream Journal #1 May 4th, 2011

didn’t remember much of my dreams last night… they were very vague. i still haven’t managed to go lucid, i think i fell asleep. one of the very first dreams i remember last night was seeing people from my school such as danette hampton and tyler. tyler was wearing dillans jacket? and im pretty sure tyler was in at least 2 of my 3 dreams. craazy. he could be a dream sign, especially if he was wearing dillans jacket. i was in physics class, and tyler was in my seat with dillans jacket. i seemed to get pissed at him for being there, so me and lukas forced him out of my seat and i think? i karate chopped him in the stomach and he was like oww or something. lol. my mind went blank from there, i dont really remember what happened after that. i woke up, it was around 1:00 am, did a reality check. phone was working, clock was right, drank some water and went back to bed to try to WILD.

2nd dream i was having flashes of this one girl cynthia mendez, and i was making out with her. i tried to feel her body and everything and i told myself, “this is a dream” and everything went black and i woke up. i don’t know if i went lucid or not because that dream wasn’t very vivid… it was just images in my head. there was no setting or anything, just her face. there might have been other girls faces popping up in my head… but i don’t remember. woke up again, was 3:00 am. did another reality check. i tried to turn off the fan that was in front of my face and the switch broke, and i was like “…” but i realized i was still in reality. so i just turned the fan away and went back to sleep

3rd and final dream i remember (i think), wasnt that vivid either. i dont remember much of it.. all i remember was asking jae (another person from my school) if he had any superpowers??? im not sure if i asked him if it was about superpowers… my mind is fading on this dream, i thought i remembered it quite well before i started writing this lol. anyways, he said yes, and all his friends turned into autobots and they combined together to form this giant transformer. in the back of my head i was like “im dreaming” again, and everything went black and my concious woke up even though my eyes were still closed. blah this is so frusturating, my dreams don’t seem vivid enough to be lucid. i don’t know if i’m not doing it at the right time, like if i’m missing my REM cycle and im trying to be lucid during nREM.

i remember black gaps in between my dreams, and im not sure if i was dreaming during those black gaps. oh well, im constantly doing reality checks even though i know im in reality, just to practice lol.

edit: Just remembered @ around 9:55 am today that I had another dream. this one, i believe, happened during my REM, probably because i remember it as being more vivid than the others. it still wasn’t THAT vivid, but just a tad more. i was in someones house, it looked like my uncles house. in what was supposed to be the kitchen, there was a computer, and there was another computer in the living room. my friend from school (again) named steven was here with me, and we were playing some sort of game. i dont remember the game exactly, but i know it was either this or that. my cousin alvin might have been in the dream too.. im not exactly sure. then i think the dream switched. i was in front of the house now on the lawn. and for some odd reason, i had to move a white car out of the way. i don’t know why i had to move it or for what reason, but i eventually moved it onto the grass of the front lawn. i hit a brick where it seperated the flowers from the grass, and i tried to turn away from it and keep moving forward, but i ended up making a loud noise (i believe). then i saw my dad look out the front window (it was late at night) and i could tell he was like “wtf?”. so i went inside the house and my mom and dad were there questioning me about idk what. from there, the dream went blank. at no time at all during this dream had i ever wondered if i was dreaming. i didn’t even remember this dream at all until i started driving to school, then it hit me, and i was like whoah. haha.

I dealt with a forgotten situation mixed with a false awakening and ended up saying to myself, "I could have become lucid (if I had done something differently in my dream). I woke up disappointed that I missed that dream sign.

--

I dreamed a dog was dragging something. Our pet rats were making a ruckus.

--

I had a dream about my Dad's old house. As usual, I was around back. The house is on a hill, but in my dream, the hill was held up by a wall which was collapsing. I was talking to someone and agreed to
shore it up which required tightening some screws to push the wall back. There was a train track dividing
the land in my dream.

--

I had done a video project on things falling; parachuters and meteorites were the two that I actually thought of in the dream.

I started watching the video and it started with an intro scene I can't remember. Then it went to a scene of these ladies dancing. They looked the right size based on the perspective in one sense, but a giant hand came down to make it look as though the hand was making the ladies spin. The hand was not designed to look giant either. The hand only looked large and the ladies small relative to each other. It was strange, and had nothing to do with the theme of the falling things.

I was waiting for the real part of the video to start to see my editing work. Then the scene went to Jennifer Love Hewitt. She was sitting on her butt on the floor in a dress with stockings. Her legs were open, but the angle did not show her. Then the angle slowly turned to show her crotch. It was a playboy shot rather than a Penthouse shot (taste versus detail). She had a thick landing strip. That was great.

Then there were more women in a lesbian orgy scene. It was great, but I was waiting for the real part of the movie to begin. I turned around to see a lesbian woman I used to work with watching the video. When I saw her she kind of chuckled and walked away, though I looked back later and she was there again. I tried to tell her that this wasn't the real point of the video.

Eventually the lesbian scene stopped, but so did the dream. Maybe I woke up. I really don't know.

Before i fell asleep i tried WILDing as usual and focus on third eye meditation.
The problem is that after my body gets numb i get so hot, really i sweat like a pig. All the blankets start to feel annoying on my skin, my nose starts to itch my patience starts to lose it.
It feels awkward enough for me to just give up and roll in my bed till i fall asleep normally.

heres what i remember

My mom forced called the supermarket and forced me to get a job there, i went over to the supermarket and met my boss. 2 chiefs atually, but one of them was a lazy bum the other one was a pretty cool guy.
He showed me around the supermarket but forgot to tell me what to do so i left him and went around exploring the place by myself. There where loads of employees but i don't recall any interaction.
I didn't really feel like working there so i wanted to just leave but then i thought what the hell might aswell work for 2 hours and get some money out of it.
I never did tho i just chilled,i think.

My second dream was way more interesting

I was in a school-like environment but much different from my actual school since this one had nice greenfields around it, countless of entrances and exits.

Anyway i remember seeing a girl i used to go out with. We never really got together officially due to some issues but it was a fun ride nontheless. Oh and she's hot ! i mean smoking beautiful makes me growl like a hound.
So we where in a class together i think or outside.. or both at the same time and then she said she lost some weight. Just look at my tummy. And she moved her shirt up a bit.
It was all flat and shiny beautiful and she said go ahead to touch it.
So i did feel her up a little bit, then she bended over for some reason and while i was touching her stomach at first i suddenly found myself grabbing her gorgeous ass like a maniac. She was perfectly okay with it but i stopped when i realized what i was doing cus i respect her soul at least as much as i respect her body.
EDIT: I just remembered she actually stripped down naked ! She's so smokin'

Me and her and some others where lying in the grass, i was leaning over her face and i remembered she used to take a lot of naps and sleep a lot when i knew her. So i asked her what she dreams of. Then she said : I lost my dog..
wtf?

In probably still the same dream i met some guy and we got a long real well. At the end of the day/evening whatever it is, when he was about to go home i asked him where does he live cus i wanted to give him a ride home. He looked at me like i was crazy and he ran off into the forest.

I remember going inside the school and seeing the girl i was telling u about and a friend of her who currently goes to the same school i do and i thought they where talking about me when i heared her say, sometimes he can be really cool and funny but other times hes just plain annoying. So i gave her the middle finger and said fuck u ! She said, nonono we're not talking about you we're talking about Turuk. Some marrocain kid i haven't seen in like 5 years.

Oh yea i remember greeting some marrocain gangster boys right there and for some reason we hugged lol.
