false awakening

I was in my bed beside my Husband and i got that horrible feeling, something was trying to lift me up and get me, it grabbed my arms, i tried to wake up but couldn't i was thinking to myself please god let me wake up , i was very scared then i woke up (( well at least i thought i did)) I grabbed onto my husband thinking OMG what a dream i hate them ones then i sat up and said to my Husband "im not going back to sleep because i'll have another dream like that again" I grabbed onto my husband because i was so scared and then something tried to pull me from him again I knew then that i was still asleep. I then woke up again , my eldest daughter came into our room holding 4 cups of tea, one was for me and kev, i did at this point wonder to myself "whats she doing up at this time in the early morning", i could hear a mans faint voice and i said to her " are you on your own" ((i knew she shouldnt have had any one with her)) my husband then said "Dad's with her" i then thought but your Dads dead then said "ohh shit i'm still dreaming" I lay back down and thought maybee ill wake up in real life now ((but ohhh no that would be far too easy wouldnt it)) Instead i wake up in my bed again, it was lighter and i could hear the birds singing as the window was open, i couldn't move for a minute then i turned to my hubby and said "am i awake" I couldn't move my mouth properly so it came out more like a blarbly mess, my hubby then said as he lay asleep "i don't know" and carried on snooring, i felt my head throbbing as it sometimes does and though am i awake or asleep then i felt myself being pulled upward thats when i thought "ohh shit i still aint awake". I managed to force my real eyes open but was very tired and sleepy, i thought i must be awake this time and got up and got a drink and to clear my head which it did, never had a weird night like it before!!

I took a nap, and dreamt that I was with Bear Grylls, attempting to sneak into a facility. After walking around it a couple times, looking for loose planks, I was like "Hey, how did I get here?" I did a nose-pinch reality check, and sure enough, I could breathe. The dream had been stable and clear until I realised that, but then it began to get all dizzy and blurry. I rubbed my hands together, imagined the heat emerging. But I got sleepier and sleepier (inside a dream?) and couldn't keep my eyes open.
I woke up in my bed, and my house was full of guests, apparently some girl that I've been talking to was my girlfriend and her friends were over too. I walked to the toilet to take a piss, but couldn't. Then I was like "Hey, wait a minute" and woke up.

Dream Journal #30, June 6th 2011

Wow, had my first WILD today. I’m not so sure that it was the traditional WILD though, but I was conscious through SP and through the dream transition, which were both seriously crazy.

I remember hearing footsteps while I was trying to fall asleep, I knew it was my mom. She went in my room, stepped in, stopped, went back down the stairs. I’m not sure if this was just a hallucination or if it was real, but I was conscious enough to hear it but not conscious enough to open my eyes and see. Next thing I know (I don’t know how much time passed between the gap), I’m conscious just a tiny tad bit and I feel like there’s someone in the room or something. I open my eyes just a little bit, I see like a shadowy black figure right above my head (I thought it was my moms head trying to listen to me at the time), and then BAM. Vibrations and sleep paralysis. This is my first SP experience, and it wasn’t even that scary. I saw the black shadowy figure and then my arms and neck felt like they were pushed down super hard so that I couldn’t move, and I really couldn’t. I also felt the vibrations and tingly feelings. I closed my eyes and was like, “oh.. sleep paralysis. let’s see what this dream transition feels like.” No excitement at all or anything I’m always relaxed when I’m in deep sleep. After a few moments of what seemed like 30 seconds to a minute of vibrations, I feel this sudden surge of my body moving forward and the blackness turning into some sort of scene. I surge and surge and then do a front flip, and then I’m sitting on my bed. I look at my hands and they’re all crooked, but I’m having a hard time trying to focus on them and stabilizing my dream. It’s night time and it’s dark in my room so I try to bring some light… but the damn light switch doesn’t work. I use my finger to drag the sun up (it’s sundown but its still super dark), and it works, but the light from the sun doesn’t get brighter. Frustrated, I turn around, imagine there being light behind me, and turn back around. No light. Arghh. I then start to think, “What if I wake up?” The dream scene just suddenly blurs and goes into chaos and I go into an FA which I don’t seem to catch. FA isn’t that important except that I was eating some french fries that tasted really real lol. Oh well, not a very vivid WILD, but the transition from SP to dream was really cool :p

Had a lengthy dream in which I attended a camping/music festival. At some point I decided I was going home so I took my tent and sleeping bag and bailed from the festival. At some point I ended up sleeping in a car in my sleeping bag, a car that wasn't mine. I awoke in this car (still within the dream) and began to walk with the intention of heading home still. I found myself suddenly walking along the highway in front of my house. I approached my local bus stop where there were a bunch of people hanging out. Waiting for a bus maybe who knows (come to think of it no cars were driving at any point along the highway). I began talking to this fairly attractive girl and started to touch her arm. As I did she said told me I couldn't do that. At this point I realised that I could, that I was dreaming and I could do whatever I wanted. As soon as I realised this the girl and all the other people disappeared, it sometimes happens when I get lucid. I started hopping about with the intention of running as fast as I could along the highway, I wanted to get a run up and then fly, it works for me. I could feel myself slipping though and I started furiously rubbing my hands and looking for something to touch. I very clearly remember flipping horizontally all of a sudden and felt a huge rushing feeling on my shoulders. I kept repeating to myself not to wake up or lose the lucidity.

I did however and slipped back into the regular dream. During this dream I figured something had gone wrong and I attributed it to being really drunk and spent the rest of my dream feeling hungover and have flashbacks into what I assumed were parts of my previous drunken stupor.

I was lying in bed looking towards my door and then a bright box appeared in the center of my eyes. Some of the scenery changed and I was very happy that I finally did a WILD on purpose. So I looked around my room and there was almost nothing in it. Then someone attacked me. He came through the wall as I recall and tried to kill me. I fought back and I noticed that there started to be more spider-webs on the walls of my room, so many in fact that you couldn't touch the wall without getting bit. So I tried to do a fireball jutsu like in Naruto and it didn't work, I asked the guy who attacked me how to do the fireball technique. Then I calmed down and I thought that I wasn't dreaming anymore. Then an octopus arm popped out of the wall. I dodged it and used x-ray vision to find my foe. I found a floating panda in the next room. I surprised him and tried to kick him as hard as I could, but he wouldn't even move at all.

So last night I went to sleep with the intent of waking up after every dream period. It didn't work perfectly, I only woke up after a couple, but in the early morning when I woke up I went back to sleep trying to count myself into a dream ("1... I'm dreaming, 2... I'm dreaming" etc), using a snooze on my alarm to regularly wake myself up.

It didn't work directly in the sense that I didn't ever consciously transition to dreaming, but I had a strange sort of lucid dream. Lucidity fluctuated a lot, but it seems like I re-entered the dream twice, but I don't recall if I actually woke up between re-entries or not, so I'll just mark the places I think they happened. Also a lot of other dreams recalled.

I began in some kind of house, where I quickly realized I was dreaming. I ended up walking outside, just stabilizing things for a few moments. I wanted to meet someone in particular, so I yelled out her name, hoping that would summon her. Instead, a sort of plot developed where she had been kidnapped and was being held in a building in front of me. My lucidity here was pretty insignificant, but I went inside the building. It was a sort of inn/bar, and I went upstairs to a room.

Now something to understand is that this dream had odd shifts in perspective to a game of Starcraft. My mind was interpreting the concept of lucidity strangely (second time this has happened lately...), as if Starcraft was the real life I would awaken to after this dream. At times, I had flashes where I was seeing my base in a game of Starcraft being attacked, and afraid that this would wake me up. I was asking my allies to help defend me.

Anyways, the person I was looking for was in the room, but my vision shifted to Starcraft mode and saw that she was "infested." I decided to just leave the room and head back outside, having to fight through some people who wanted to stop me.

Back outside, my mind was a bit clearer and I think I was more conscious of my dreaming state. As I walked, the dream began to fade, however. Everything turned dark, but I tried to concentrate on my sense of touch. <Re-entry here?> Eventually, I was back in the dream. I decided to try to use all my senses to stay anchored in the dream, so I walked into a nearby shop and found a bizarre glass container which had some kind of perfume in it. I smelled it and poured some on myself, and also ate two sort of black sort of "rocks" that were inside it. It tasted pretty disgusting, but I kept chewing on it for quite a while, happy about how real it seemed.

At this point my notes read that I was in a room packing up some stuff into my backpack. I vaguely recall this, but I don't know why I was doing it. Anyways, I think the dream faded here again, and I had another re-entry (maybe). I found myself in a wooden shack near a body of water. I looked at myself in a mirror -- I looked basically like myself, though a few features were somewhat distorted.

After a little more stabilization, I stepped outside. Below me was a pretty steep drop down to the water, and in the distance I saw a few hills and islands. I decided to go check out what was over there, though it didn't look like much. I launched myself into the air and flew down towards the water. As I did so, everything felt so real and crisp for a moment that I was completely exhilarated. I tried to calm myself, fearing that this would wake me up. Unfortunately, my flying slowed to almost a dead halt and I had a weird false awakening: the Starcraft game appeared again, with my base being attacked. I typed something like: "can you believe it! I was having a good lucid dream and just then this woke me up!"

I also wrote something in my notes about a checklist, but I don't remember what it had to do with the dream. It had an entry on it that said "pre-fight bosses."

I was in a class that was taught by one of my former History professors. It was the first day of this class. For some reason, there were a bunch of pool tables all around the room. I was eager to meet people, and quickly introduced myself to a few. People were told to assemble around the pool tables for some kind of group work. There was some confusion for a moment as some tables got deserted and others overcrowded.

After a while, something odd happened and we were suddenly in the middle of a zombie invasion. I was strangely calm (felt sort of like a game) and ran towards the class entrance. We weren't really in a building or anything -- the room was just sort of merged with outside. It was night time, and I followed a group of people across a small brook and to a sort of checkpoint. Once we made it there we knew we were safe.

Somehow I ended back in the classroom before the zombie thing happened. This time I walked towards the front of the classroom and then beyond it, to a seashore. There were a couple boats there, and I just enjoyed the view for a few moments, when the zombies came again. This time, however, it definitely felt real, and I was scared. I was with a group of journalists and we sprinted towards the same brook we had crossed before. This time, however, there was a problem and we were unable to cross it. Instead we had to take a long bridge to our left.

One by one people fell behind and died, until it was just me and another guy. We ran as fast as we could. For some reason we were suddenly being chased by two cars, and we ducked out of the way just in time before they lost control and crashed horribly, blocking the zombies from catching up with us. I thought I was safe as we stopped a moment to catch our breaths, but then I realized the guy with me had been bitten and was turning into a zombie. He started approaching me aggressively, and I backed off. Soon he was charging me and trying to bite my face off. I fought him off desperately, but I was weaker than him and terrified. I frantically tried to prevent him from biting me while also somehow mentally accessing a menu, trying to stop this "game" (though nonetheless it felt like my life was at stake), and managed to just in time. I don't remember anything after that.

Basically just a dream of playing soccer. I was playing defense at first, then switched to attack, then back to defense, then back to attack. It all made sense at the time. After a few uneventful plays, I suddenly started to play much better, just sort of naturally sensing where my teammates were and making good passes. Then I got the ball on our half of the pitch, and suddenly found myself able to dribble their entire team. I fell just short of scoring a goal, tapping the ball a little too far in front of me and losing control at their last line of defense. Still, I was really happy with how I was playing.

We reached a break in play, and some guy kept complaining about how the online system for this soccer league was broken. I asked him why he was so concerned over this when it wasn't even playoff time. He explained that there was a team called "The 300 Spartans" whose name had caused a glitch in the system, somehow resulting in gif images of the car in Back to the Future to be placed above each team's name. This was apparently a very big deal.


- I also had a dream about being in some kind of underground facility, and meeting a ton of people I haven't seen in a really long time.

I took a nap starting at 4:30 pm, I laid down on my back starting with just binaural beats, I then did reverse blinking, after about 2 minutes of blinking I started sleep breathing and counting down from 100 in between breathes. My first dream started out with me walking around and feeling heavy as though gravity were increased. My pillow in real life was half way over my eyes and in my dream I could only see half of my vision as though my pillow were still over my eyes, this made me realize I was dreaming. I tried to look down at my hands, but I didn’t have any hands, or at least they were invisible because I could feel them there, then I walked around and started jumping, I was floating slowly to the ground with every jump. Then all of a sudden I was laying on my bed with my pillow half way over my face, I had a completely realistic false awakening, I saw one of my fraternity brothers nearby and I told him I had a lucid dream. Saying this made me do an RC and I found out I was still dreaming. I then became lucid again, I just plain walked around for a while through what looked to be an airport. There were a bunch of people running past me as though in a hurry. One of the people was a woman walking crooked on her hands. I stopped her when we were in a glass ceiling walkway, because she was wearing a skirt and when she was up her skirt was up, showing were her vagina should have been, yes she had bare skin where her vagina should have been. So I tried to turn her into someone else. She sat down and then started jerking around and awkwardly morphing into random different women. I felt the dream coming apart, so I looked down at my hands. I was able to see my hands when I looked down which was a relief, however they were blurry and I couldn’t focus on them. Then everything got lighter and when I opened my eyes, I was back in bed. I stayed put and thought about my dream just in case. I then did an RC and realized that I was actually awake. I then walked to my computer and started writing.

i am in my room seeing a four faced cardboard figure on the floor and after i take a mini tour in my room i see that the figure isnt there anymore but that its downstairs on the floor in the grass and i ask myself how did it get there ( and instead of reality checking) i simply say that when i get outside i will take it

I am pebble deaf in my right ear, which is something I have to deal with regularly. It bothers me a little.

Someone was telling me something but I couldn't hear him. My hearing was way worse than usual. I couldn't really hear anything
he was saying. I decided to clean my ears with baby oil, which is a trick I learned from Dr. Oz in waking life.

I had a false awakening in which my hearing improved, as my bad hearing was only in a dream.

--

I forgot most of this dream, but I dreamed I was on a bus that was driving itself. I was trying to get somewhere, and
this bus was supposed to get me there. I wondered how it could drive without a driver, for even if it could run certain
roads automatically, it could not account for certain problems like cars that would cut it off or whatever.

In waking life, my driving instructor started talking about an automatically driven truck or something today. That reminded
me of my dream, so I'm creating this entry now.

Just started back up on Lucid Dreaming. Figured I'd post some of my dreams from the past year or so.

Going down Town (Sometime last December, when I was practicing LDing during winter break)

This was the first lucid dream I'd had in a while. I was on the top level of a parking garage. For some stupid reason I'd pulled a prank on a cop, and called him names, or something along those lines. He arrested me immediately. I was stunned that he was detaining me simply for pissing him off. I began freaking out immediately, begging him to let me go, but he did not falter. I only received a stone-cold stare.

I thought luck was on my side at this point. As we were driving down town a Train was derailed, and fell off the tracks and landed directly in front of us. We crashed directly into it. I managed to hop out of the car and run a few yards and the cop caught me. Apparently my luck was double crossing me-- even though we'd crash, we were directly in front of the station, and he dragged me in.

The inside of the station was, strangely enough, half police station and half gym. I was at the desk, talking to a different officer, pleading to be released. I gave up, but not before a few snide remarks at the officer.

I was looking around, considering escape, and saw some other people on benches, and a guy running on the track of the gym-side. I became lucid as soon as I saw this girl. She was dressed in some sort of modern indian clothes. Half jeans, half leather with tassles, and a couple feathers. She had a faint smile, and was looking directly at me. I had a distinct feeling that she was there, yet NOT part of the dream's scene at all. (I've assumed that this was my dreamguide)Her presence soothed me, and gave me clarity, and I realized I was dreaming.

I got too excited to actually speak to her, and instead tried to fly around. Yet, I found that as I flew out of the side of the building, I actually warped back INTO the building from the opposing wall. Just like on Asteroids, the old arcade game. I was trapped, and shortly after woke up...

After this, I managed to DEILD, and was enveloped by an image of my old church, under construction however. I woke up yet again, but this time it was a False Awakening. I was in a combination of my freshman dorm room and my sophomore dorm room.

I realized I was dreaming when I looked at my clock. I jumped up and flew through the building yet again, but as I did the dream began deteriorating. I was left in a WILD-like state with incredibly vivid hypnagogia. It was a lot like an acid trip. And I thought I woke up.

I had another FA, but I missed it this time =/
