false awakening

Lucidity: 6/10
Vividness: 7/10
Length: ~5 min.

I woke up in a lucid dream car. Then I tried to fall asleep again, and I did. Then I was just walking around and just enjoying the feeling of the lucid dream. I did try to emagine Tania having sex with me a couple of times just because she's perfect!

3/27-28. 930. Something about WoW? Then driving at night. Rain? Headlights go off then turn back on. Then looking at stars. Maybe on the 71N before Pine, or on the 15N after Norco

2ish. FA. Dad wakes me up I think. I look at the clock and it’s 415am, but my alarm is set (4am). Then I’m talking to him while he’s on the couch and he asks, “What did you see after I left?” It had been a dark kind of shadow but passed it off as eye trick, but didn’t say that, didn’t answer. Then I wake up for real

At some school. I’m in a bed and Cameron from House is there and my mom. Something about some medications reacted and that’s why I got sick. Meds were for stomach pain and something else. Then I’m a super hero and I go to find the Flash. Find him and talk to him. Ask if he could take me back to my class on his back because I was running late. Then it’s a high school in a PE lockers kind of area. Some fire starts and I go grab an extinguisher. Electrical fire and some black girl is trapped in a stall. I walk around the stall and it’s completely open so tell her to come on. Then I’m on the school’s roof. Mr. Hxxxx from middle school PE opens a vent up to let out the smoke. Adam Hxxxxxx is with me and we jump around on the roofs. One of the gaps is too big I think so look for another way. As I finish looking, there is now a hill where the buildings were, hilly and open land, and there’s a ramp I use to get off the roof. I get to my class which is being held outside. I take out my phone and start to turn down the sound. The teacher sees and says, “I hope you’re putting your phone on silent.” “Yes, I am.” “Thanks for being honest.” Then in a Mid East kind of place, sandy and dunes. We’re doing a shot gun project that has to do with mapping out where shotgun shells land. There’s some guy on a piano. Then these raiders come and attack us (hills are green from the area they come from). As the raiders go by, some crawl out of the ground slowly, but very crude looking and jerky. Then I’m watching a MST3K movie and they’re making fun of how horribly the special effect of them coming out of the ground is done. Kind of a theater. Mom, and Kyle(?), there. I have these cards from Joy and Mark Jxxxxxxx so open them and read them

Awake, Non-lucid, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

I wake up in my current room, go out to the kitchen, and start attempting to make coffee. The coffeemaker is big and complicated, with lots of buttons, and I can't figure out how to use it properly. While it's percolating, I decide to take the carafe out [I don't remember why], and press the Stop button, but it doesn't stop completely. Six thin jets of coffee continue to come out of it, streaming down onto the heating element and boiling and sizzling away. I look in the cupboard for breakfast, and find lots of mini-donuts and other packaged foods there. All the time I'm getting breakfast, my mind is on the fact that I have to get out of the house in time for my 8:00 A.M. meeting. [I actually had such a meeting coming up in the morning in real life, and it was on my mind as I went to bed, so, not surprisingly, I dreamed about it.]

I have another false awakening in which I check the time on my cell phone and see that it's only 6:17 A.M. Good; there's still plenty of time to get to the meeting.

I woke up, for real this time, at the end of a sleep cycle, and said sarcastically, “Well, that was wonderful.” I didn't bother to get up to check the time on my phone.

I'm on my college campus, walking around outside the dorm buildings, which are big and L-shaped and multistory. I'm trying to get to my room, which is room number 16999-A (that is, bedroom A in suite number 16999). I stop and talk to a resident assistant (RA), who asks me where I'm going. I tell him [her? not sure], and he [she?] consults a list and says that someone else is already in that bedroom. I know I'm supposed to be in that room, and I say so, showing the RA the key I have to that suite. He [she?] permits me to continue on and go to the room.

I continue walking, outside, among the dorm buildings. I pass another RA at the entrance to a new part of the complex of buildings, and speak to her as well. She tells me that there's a game of Sardines going on in that part of the complex, and offers me a raffle ticket, which shows that I'm participating in the game. I accept it and continue walking. I find the entrance to suite 16999, which is at the corner of the long, narrow building, on one of the longer sides. I stick my head in the door, but don't go in. [So I never did find out whether or not anyone else was in my bedroom.] All throughout this part of my dream, my mind is still focused on the fact that I have to make it to an 8:00 A.M. meeting.

I continue exploring around the sunny side of the building. There are basketball and handball courts there; it looks a lot like the playground of an elementary school. The sunlight is very bright and cheerful. On the other side of the courts from the building, there is a chain-link fence on the border of the playground. On the other side of the fence is a river.

Not far from the playground is a covered pavilion housing the queue for a tram that offers tours of the campus. It's the same kind of tram used at the parking lot at Disneyland. The tram passes through, setting out on its tour. A group of five students with ski masks on, their heads wrapped in white cloth, and dark sunglasses are walking alongside the tram. They're tour guides, and this is their on-campus job. They're holding a series of signs that say something like, “Be sure to pay your tram driver.” I wave at them as they pass, and they wave back. As the tram pulls out of the pavilion and drives away, a group of five or six people runs out of the queuing area, trying to catch up with the tram. They wanted to get on it for the tour, but they got there too late.

[Dreamskip.] I'm walking across a parking lot. I recognize that I'm dreaming, and that I've had this dream before. [Now that I'm awake, though, I don't remember having had it before.] I begin to concentrate on my feet, watching them move as I walk. I'm wearing dark red-brown, slip-on, closed-toed shoes with big bows on the toes that are made of the same shiny, leather-like material as the rest of the shoes. As I approach my car, I attempt to ensure that my computer backpack will be in the trunk when I get there by expecting it to be there this time. It doesn't work. Other stuff is in there, but no computer backpack.

Some guy starts talking to me as I look into my trunk. My boss is there, too. The other guy gives me a long, ornate, old-fashioned, brass key with a long, thin black string tied to the loop on one end. When he gives it to me, he says something like, “These instructions are very important. You must never let this item leave your possession.”

“Because it represents my soul?” I ask.

“It represents a lot of things,” he answers. I infer that my soul is one of those things.

[I don't remember the rest of the instructions, but they probably included the following information, because I do remember knowing it:] I understand that this key is a skeleton key. It's not just an ordinary skeleton key, either; it is magical and can unlock any door in the dream world.

That guy, my boss, and I go exploring somewhere else together. I use my key to unlock a door at one point. At another point, I ask that guy, “Do you have a name?”

“Karim, or...” he begins.

“Karim,” I say. “Okay.” To me, the way he said “or...” after his name implies that he has many names, and I'm welcome to use any of them, but I just go with the first one he says.

Karim, my boss, and I are climbing a ladder up through a narrow shaft. I look up and am intimidated by how long the shaft is, but I can see the top of the ladder, far away. [That's the last thing I remember from this dream.]

When my alarm finally went off, I was relieved that I was back in reality, and that there was still plenty of time to get to the meeting.

------------------------
Side notes:

I don't remember having the high level of conscious self-awareness in this dream that I've had in past lucid dreams, but if I started trying to use dream powers, I must have known that I was dreaming. Also, when I was receiving the instructions about the key, I was definitely aware that the context to which those instructions applied was my dreams, which I was in.

Have I met my dream guide? I can't say for sure. I feel uneasy about it. What I can say is that I hope Karim and the key show up in future dreams.

This happened this morning. The first thing I recall is walking through a park with a young boy around 14, we were looking for a girl to hook him up with, The park looked like Central park in new york city, There was a path down the center of the park, to the right was a awesome screamo band performing with millions of kids sitting on the lawn, The mosh pit was crazy, to the left were park bathrooms, and I watched 2 kids I thought I knew walk in but I didn't really in real life, One of them was a midget or something, He looked like a 2 foot punk rocker clown, with him was a girl and she had a big smile on her face, They turned left into the bathroom and for some reason I felt they were avoiding me so, I just sat there waiting to see when they would come out, The girl with the smile came out of the bathroom and stood to the right of the girls bathroom with a big smile on her face staring right at me, suprisingly It wasn't creepy or anything, She was actually really pretty, I told the boy I was with to go and talk to her but instead for some reason he turns around, all of a sudden there were bleachers and the park looked a lot smaller, what I saw next was really wierd, The "girl" he walked up to I can't figure out the sex and it was a giant, but, the wierd part was only his head and his foot sat there hovering into the air, While the giant had almost the same smile the girl did on his face, The boy I was with decided to touched it's foot for some reason, and the giant jumped up and started chasing us, He was so slow it caught him But, At this point I knew I was in a dream and was determined to outrun this thing, I was so proud when I looked around and the park that once was wild with punk rock partiers,the bleachers and the bathroom was gone, the way it remained had beautiful green grass and a picket fence kinda remind me now of a cemetery. This was by far one of my wierder dreams.

Odd Beginning
It all started with me talking with friends and watching the news on TV. We then noticed a news story of people from the last thanksgiving celebrating a thanksgiving party at my house. These people looked like people from my old High School, Chevy Chase, and Bill O'Reily were in the group too for some odd reason. I asked my friends where were we on that day? They said we were at a church gathering and we were all fasting (ON THANKSGIVING?!?!?!). I started to recall that party's details we had and it looked like my Uncle Paul's old ranch, but a huge house on the field and it was home to a scientist and I saw a picture of Chevy Chase on the walls. The dream then changed to the party.

Thanksgiving at Chevy Chase's house
We were outside the mansion and began to notice some very strange things. For one, he had fences all around his house and behind the fences were dinosaurs (herbivors). They walked right by us and I remember the sudden urge to explore. We ran into the garage and found normal garage stuff but with an inventors touch to every piece of equipment. I then decided to go inside and see where everyone else is.

I was walking down the hallway and saw many people from my church socializing. I remember seeing many creepy things out of the corner of my eye that were little creatures that would appear and disappear but I could never get a good look at them. I then kept going down the hallway and saw my mom sitting on a bench next to my Grammy, Aunt Jill, and my 6 year old cousin Landon. It was the darker part of the hallway and I was very worried for our safety. I walked over and sat down next to my mom and said we needed to leave this house it is dangerous and I started to describe the little creatures I kept seeing. She said to stop like I was being disrespectful or lying to her and at that moment I saw a green little creature slowly come around the corner and it was bouncing toward me. If you have ever played Super Smash Bros Brawl, it looked like one of the enemies with big lips that hide in the ground and jump out and stick to you. It freaked me out and I started yelling, "There! There it is! It's right there! Help it is coming for me!" Nobody saw anything and started looking at me like I was insane. At that moment it jumped up onto my hand and stuck its lips on my palm and sank into my wrist. I felt no pain or anything when this happened and was confused if it was a hallucination or real. My mom said that it was time to go now, and I asked why and she said because i was acting crazy in front of my little cousin and there is no telling what he picked up from that.

We all started to leave and heard the sound of bees. I went into a hallway and saw giant bees behind glass walls in the hallways. Everyone else saw the bees too and began to panic. I remember after this giant bees being in the hallways and we went into the hive to destroy them (we being me and my friends who reunited with me again). We went in and saw the queen and her many mad bees with her along with waterfalls of honey. We found a control pad and hit the big red button in the middle and it made all the honey flow faster and rooms started getting sealed off by giant iron doors. Now me, my Aunt Jill, and my 3 cousins Jake, Austin and Landon ran out of the hallway and out the front door as a wave of honey was pouring down the hallway. We were launched out of the house and the doors shut behind us and there was honey everywhere. We then saw the honey level rising and knew we had to find a way out of here. My Aunt Jill then said she found a way and ran to a little flying ship about the size of an 8 person van that looked like the Banshee from Halo Reach. We all got in and started to take flight as the mansion exploded with honey behind us.

Futuristic City
We all had a lot of conversations about how we were heroes for saving the world from giant bees and how we were lucky to be alive until we came over a mountain and saw a huge city. A city of towering buildings with neon and holographic signs on them and flying cars similar to ours flying around. It looked like a futuristic city. At this moment I was admiring the scenery and checking every detail until I realized that the view was not all that clear and was a little blurry. I thought this must be a dream and told my Aunt Jill to land and pointed to a spot. We flew over the the spot and landed and I immediately got out and decided to explore.

The floor of the city looked like a carnival and there were games and basketball hoops everywhere along with nothing but little kids and occasional parents. I set off by myself and explored the child's fantasy I was in and began LFS. I couldn't find anyone but kids. Every time I recognized someone, I would see them up close and they were just another kid. I then saw my cousin Ben and the two girls that always play basketball with us at church basketball tournaments and went to them. The closer I got, the more they wanted to go the other way so I just moved on because I didn't want to wake up. I then found a few girls giving me seductive looks and decided to go and talk to them (why not? everyone else is ignoring me). I asked the first one about LFS and she ignored me and walked up to my cousin Ben who was suddenly behind me. The other girl came to me and said in my ear, "I'll give you a good time sweetie." I then noticed the whole group walking up this odd staircase of bars like at a playground and everyone had to grab them overhead with their hands and climb to the next level. No one explained why but I went on with it and soon everything started to fade to my last houses living room.

I was now in my old house's game room and my dad had walked in and woken me up while changing the thermostat. I then wanted to fall back asleep in hopes of returning to that awesome city dream I was having and started going back to sleep (this is all still a dream I was dreaming that I had just had a dream).

I had now returned to the dream on the sidewalk by some river and was immediately aware that I was dreaming again which obviously would work considering that I never woke up in the first place. I went to the water and said boat and raised my arm up and a racing boat appeared in front of me. I jumped in and took off down the river which turned into a race track like Hydro Thunder suddenly. I raced up a jump and did a few flips up a steep incline and then got to a tower at the top of the race track and there were south park characters their arguing about a crane machine. I walked over and started listening to their argument and then woke up.

(LFS is a thing from my life that I don't feel like explaining)

Dream (non-lucid) | Lucid dream

Background:

Yesterday, before going to bed, I watched the whole "American Gangster" movie, which talks a lot about heroine and the US Army.

Dream:

At the start of my dream, I was an US soldier, and got slightly injured (I fell on my arm). A colleague managed to disinfect the wound and bandage it. We walked for a few seconds and found ourselves on a memorial place, with a few generals; right next to this place was an open-air "holy sanctuary". The sanctuary consisted of a cube from which (if I'm right) a few colons emerged -- eight, I think. Around the cube were "holy" stairs, on which I walked on with my dad (what was he doing here?) ; however, some Indian-Mexicans (who were probably prayers) told us not to walk here in a shocked way.

Then I had a FA, and found myself in my classroom. Everyone was taking a massive amount drug pills -- I can't recall what drug --, saying it'd help them focus (even the best pupil took a lot of them). I didn't, though. We were all talking about these. Then I went to a big gymnasium which was used as a classroom for 2 classes, and the doctor I met last week (IRL) was our French teacher. The class went on normally but the teacher looked weird... She was on drugs as well. She told us at the end of the class she snorted cocaine at the teacher's room, with one pupil of my class (sometimes).

And then, I'm in a huge and modern two-storey train (I'm on the 2nd storey). My German teacher is sitting on the row next to me. We pass by my train station. From there, I can see what the train driver sees... There are three or four kids walking on the railway, but the train gets past them. I find that weird. Then we pass through a wall, which gets us into a tunnel. In the tunnel, the train goes past another group of kids. Arriving at the next station, I look at the hour. The hour goes from 11:12 (displayed in green) to weird characters (displayed in red) -- I realize I'm dreaming, but get too excited, and the dream fades away.

I was pretty happy when I found out I was dreaming, but obviously too excited, and couldn't control the dream. I thought "Oh, all those efforts and I finally have a lucid dream! Yay!". Still, it's nice to have found out I was dreaming.

Once again I had a dream, about my job. Same spot, same metal object. The workspot is my actual workspot at work. My measurement tools were mailfunctioning, I attempted to calibrate them. The measures seemed to be as random as I thought the clock reality check would be.

Secondly, the #DV chat. With my ex in it. That's about. We were at #DV, then someone came in to the chat, we switched channels and kept talking. I remember waking up before this one though.

one was a WILD and the second was a WILD/DILD. WILD: I got off the couch and tried to stabilize the dream by feeling my face and the couch, and verbal commands. the commands did not work because i could not talk. the dream quickly faded. after that i guess i had another WILD because I remember vibrations and HI. it seemed more real than my usual dreams, too, but it was like a false awakening. i was trying to turn my mp3 player volume down, but it stayed at the same level. then i remembered the vibrations i had just felt and realized i was dreaming. then i woke up. i hope i have better luck in the future.

Super long super vivid. Was working at nbc. Got promoted to some hi position. I had to rebuttle for it against two old guys. They were old. I won. I was super exited I put it on facebook and everyone congradulated me. I went out to a club. My brother was there trying to sell his ipod. He was on hold for me min and fell asleep. I was given some weird egg. I opened it and found it to be gak. Some weird voodoo lady turned it into some weird egg with powers it transformed my friend into somethig else. I left the club and came back and was transformed myself. I tried to stop it but the witch was hurting me. I let her cast some weird sspell. After all this I had 4 hours to buy a suit. I found some random choices in my closet. an old dkny suit. I showed it to some people who worked at nbc and they laughed. You could really dress around at nbc. Some person wore a bald cap and looked like tom cruise. I had to go buy a suit. I went to a store and they said it would cost 500$ . I met my old manager and went to brag about my job. I was staying at a random hotel.

LUCID. Was at a weird building with leo. He took adderal and so did I. We were laughing and hitting eachother with giant fruits. He told me my night sweats were rancid. Things we're going well. I realized I was dreaming and told leo that he was too. We both became very calm. Suddenly we were atop a giant temple. It went super far down. I turned the fall into water and the temple was surrounded by water. We jumped in. swimming was fun and leo said the water looked dirty. I laughed and turned the water bright blue. He was amazed and said it's amazing how even if the water looks dirty there's so much life in it. There we're tons of fish in the water. We went downstairs in the temple into some random room. He said why aren't you doing much. I wanted to get the feeling of the lucid dream. I want to feel what its like. I seriously looked aroundd the room. It was super vivid and bright. The room was wooden. How sid this differ from normal reality. It looked a little different. Almost like a differentl feel and pattern of the air. Instead of dots in the air when I look at the air it looked woven. The air in a lucid is different. Ok time to impress leo with a blue ball of energy. I told him to watch. I started focusing for energy in my hands... nothing came out. I tried over and over and got nothing. I was dissapointed. I heard footsteps downstairs. I went to go look but was afraid too much action might wake me up. Self fulfilling profecey lol there was nothing downstairs and I did wake up. I remember telling leo in the lucid if we wake up dont move. I diddnt move and nothing much happened... a false awakening.

I was downstairs at the temple on the floor. I woke up and immediately started to write down the dream. There was a lady at a desk telling us that she wanted to read then and I said sure. I kept writing. I woke for real.

Lucid. Was family guy and instantly knew it was a dream. I first had to make everything less cartoony. I did that and then went outside. I was trying to ditch the other family guy people becAuse they were destabalizing the dream. I finally did and was at some sunny dock. There was a party going on. I kept trying to do thing like blow cars up but I had no control. I did a reality check because I thought maybe I needed to prove to myself it was a dream. I did a rc but I woke up. I didn't move and visualized the cars. I was back. I kept trying and failed. I met some weird guy. He started showing me his to blow cars up. I tried again and boom. One car blew. I got trigger happy and with each swing of my arm piles of cars would fly into the sky. I was having so much fun. I woke again. Didn't move and was back in the dream. I kept fucking shit up. I used my hand to make a laser shoot out of my arm. The beam was getting huge. I woke up. I decided to wait to tell kara. I wrote it all down and dreamt some more. That was all a false awakeneing lol.


Mom had a new son. It was adam but much younger. I was watching him in some building and he kept getting into trouble. He was super cute. Not annoying like most babys. I rememeber thinking leo was coming and now we we're going to have to be quiet. Adam and me we're in a buss going home when he instantly got out I followed and he had to poop. I said do it in your diaper and mom will clean it. I felt a lot of love for him. I failed the old adam but this ones I could shape. I could mold.

Kara suddenly was on the bus. I made friends with two girls sitting next to her. I really am better at making friends with girls. We were joking around waiting for dina to get on the bus we had a present for her.

Somehow didn't have a car. Vadim gave me his old one which was a tiny car. It was a toy car and was contrled by a controller. I was driving around the neighborhood it was fun.

Had another dream where I was in a game place there was a sample of a game there and I tried it. The game was a sword and you stand Ij place and swing it and so does the character. I was talking to the guy who worked there about the tv and he said I was lucky


Lucid was at my house and realized I was lucid. Was doing some stuff around the house messing around and look outside I wanted it to be dark and it wouldn't be. I tried again and failed so o just went outside. It was super bright and vivid. I was jumping super high in the air trying to land on roofs. I was scared this might wake me up and for a second everything went white. I consentrated on what I was seeing and everything came back twice as vivid. Im getting better. I became super present and stopped thinking. I wandered into some sacred temple. It was really massive and there were a ton of hot naked women enticing me. I knew if I gave them any attention I would wake up. It was a trick. I found a giant waterslide and slid down it. A group of three normal people started talking to me and I kinda ignored them and continued my journy. They went to the bathroom and told me to wait. I ditched them. I was trying to find a way out of the temple but couldn't. A voice was telling me there was more to see here and I needed something inside the temple. I ignored it and found a window to jumpout of. The man in front of the temple said I was never allowed there again and I woke up. Had a fa where I was in the desert near the temple. Kara was there and I was telling her about my dream as I was writing it down. I was annoyed because I couldnt read my handwriing and a little girl was drawing in mt journal.

At some point in here, I think I wake up and want to write down the dream but go back to dreaming. Not sure if it was a false awakening.

I start in a world where I am a super hero. It is me and Je. vs some enemy. I shoot icecicles. At some point during the fight, I miss fours shots. The icecicles clump together and rotate like a videogame powerup. I get it and have the ability to make a creature of water to help me fight. It defeats my enemy. Me and Je. start going to our base to pack up and leave. Somehow we have trouble getting to our base.

I am at the far end of my street with Je. We are walking to my house. For some reason, I reality check. The breath doesn't flow very smoothly when I do the nose plug. At first I think I'm dreaming but I doubt it. I do it a couple of times and acknowledge that I am dreaming. My breath flows smoothly through my pinched nostrils. I now see Je. as a dream character. I still ask him to come with me to my house. I then remember to stabilize my dream. I fall to my knees and feel the grass. I smell it and taste it. I remember appreciating the vividness. It seems very bright. Usually it is fairly dark in my dreams. We begin walking towards my house. I think, "I sure wish I was home." We are teleported to Je.'s house. I think "No, no! This is the wrong guy's house!" I fiddle around trying to get outside through Je.'s relatives. I then think to teleport again. I start trying to go to my house. I then think of my college and my first major lucid goal. I wanted to get a specific dream character to follow me around and remind me that I was dreaming. I say, "I wish I was there." I visualize it in my head. Me and Je. are transported to my college (or a caricature of it). I am in the cafeteria. I steal some food. It is some gravy slathered meat (aw, yeah!) between two buns. Yum. I decide it is easier to spit it out than swallow it. I end up on the floor bored/sick (wtf?). A voice reminds me of my goal (I don't know if the voice came from anywhere).

I leave the cafeteria to the hallway in some inky black darkness. I have some trouble. I am now some weird dragon thing. I eventually lift my tail out of the inky black fog to find some sort of imp clinging to it. I desperately try to get it off. I eventually see Je. I make it to the room he is in. I find myself holding a miniature dragon with an imp on its til. I ask Je. how to fix it. He tells me to rip it's head and tail off. I do so and throw them back into the hallway. The I throw the body into the hallway. At this point I am distracted. We so stuff for a bit. I eventually go in search of the dream character. I decide to try to teleport. I close my eyes. I open them to see "the void." I remember to dream spin. I am teleported to somewhere else in my college. At this point I become distracted. Je. and me start being involved with our earlier superpowers. There is another dream character of significance. I don't remember what the three of us did.

I am following a girl who is my wife (lolwut?) around in an open market. At some point I turn some music on my phone and stick it in my pocket. This transforms into me next to Je. in a grocery store. There seems to be an electronics section next to us (lolwut?). Je. is looking at some smartphone in a box. I see a box that says something to do with AT&T Uverse (the TV service my family has). Something to do with being able to pause live TV on the set top box. I remember it listing the screen sizes of "3:2" and "1:3." Real TV is "4:3" and "16:9." The TV I would need this for is a 4:3 CRT. I pause to consider this. I feel my phone playing the music (and vibrating because it is playing loud). I try to turn it off in consideration of the people around me. I have trouble. It shows low battery. I select reboot. I think about how turning it on again will waste power. I look up to see Je. going towards the cash registers. I run towards him and try to rip the outer casing off to take out the battery. I think I wake up for real at this point.
