false awakening

First dream

It was cold, dark evening. I was wearing a gray suit and holding a black briefcase in my left hand. I had also a Ruger pistol. There were two other people with me - both wearing black suits, armed to teeth with weaponry. We were walking straight the road, surrounded by nothing but fields.

After a while we saw a house in the horizon - it was our destination. We entered the house after a good whie. There were two couches and a table in the middle of the room. There were members of local mafia, waiting for us. I left the briefcase on the table, and they told me that the money is already on my bank account.

Suddenly we heard screams of mad people. The mafia escaped using backdoor, and closed it. I quickly changed my clothes, and jumped out of window, leaving my companions there. I went back the road, and then I met an angry crowd with pitchforks and torches. They asked "Friend or enemy?" I said "Friend." and they believed me, so I could go on.

False awakening

I woke up in my house, went out of bed and entered the kitchen. There was my mother, cooking something. I told her about my previous dream.

Second dream

I was in my house. It was some kind of holiday, and all my family gathered in home. I took my laptop, and then with siblings we found ourselves in a different world. The whole nature in the place we fond ourselves was dead and the soil was barren. We had rifles with us, and we went somewhere.

Third dream

Warm afternoon. I was walking down the hills, looking at the beaty of nature surrounding me. Finally I reached my destination - a harbor city on a tropical sea. When I entered docks it was evening already, so I stopped in a tavern of some kind. Next day I went sightseeing. The city was old, built with light brown stone bricks and exotic wood.

The streets were full of cars and people. I looked for some interesting places, but it was too slow on foot, so I took a motorcycle. I drove for a while in the city centre, around tall buildings. Suddenly, we heard alarms, and the city was under terrorist siege.

There were archers on a rooftops, shooting down everyone who they can see. I was driving slowly, watching as crowds of people die. When they started to shoot at me, I started to drive quicker, so they used firearms to take me down.

They shot a tire in my motorcycle, so I had to run away from them. I found a gun on the ground, so I took it and tried to shoot terrorists, but I missed all the time. I escaped from them to a back yard of train station. There was a truck placed on a ramp. I wanted to enter it, but I saw that doors were blocked by a grate.

I looked around, and saw another ramp. There was a balloon on the ramp, so I took it and started to fly. I was high above the city, when I used all of the fuel, so I had to land. I landed somewhat close to the city centre, and went to the streets.

Terrorists stopped attacking people, so it was all quiet there.... too quiet. Suddenly the sun disappeared, and everything went black. After a while it was back, but something changed. All the dead people started to stand up from the ground, and shamble in random directions. Some of them were slow, but most of them were quickly running zombies.

I ran away from the swarmed streets, to the tavern in docks. There was a group of survivors, waiting for someone. I told them what's going on in the streets, and they told me that they need to reach top of a skyscraper to escape, and needed a distraction for zombies.

I agreed, and ran for the streets. Followed by swarm, I climbed up roofs and escaped from them, while group of survivors entered skyscraper, reached the roof and taken a helicopter. They have flewn back for me, and we escaped.

First dream recorded NL - about being a LDer and getting very clear instructions from an expert tutor on how to go about it - very nice as I was being totally taken on as a good student who was top of the class having every ability to be a great LDer, I felt great -
I did wbtb around 3-4am and listened to some binaural beats to sharpen my mind as I felt very tired - may have worked!

Sat up for reluctant wbtb at 3 am and had a Late morning LD decided to lay on my left side (around 4.20 am)as I was now very awake and felt I needed to change my sleeping position and see what happens ( I usually attempt wild on my back) I knew I would fall asleep quite quickly on my side tho so I did my best to keep mind clear and repeat mantra

"I am Lucid tonight " and " I know I am dreaming"

At 5.54 am I woke to put this one in voice recorder
- got a couple of short Lucids on my side! The first was a propper false awakening where it was the first time I have Actually realised I was dreaming as I lay there on my side in my bed - ha ha it felt great ! Having the awareness to bring my hands up to look at them ' great I am dreaming'! I sat up! And said 'I am Lucid ' - but Then I laid back down ... then I sat up again and went running into my mums room laughing ( my mum doesn't live here so I had quickly become non lucid ;( ...I then went back to bed and very soon realised again as I lay on my side "hay - I was actually dreaming again!"- I looked at my hands again - yes! " I am still dreaming " I said. This made me very happy and I got up easily from my bed and wandered out of the house - I tried to remember some tasks as I made my way out. The scenery was a bit grey so I feel it would have been good if I had taken time here to stabilise by rubbing my hands together or saying some mantras - so I think dream ability was pretty weak. A DC got in my way and un-nerved me a bit ; I didn't-want to get distracted so I managed to brush passed him - once outside I decided I wanted to climb to the top of a high rise building and jump off to test my Lucidity - ha ha - lucidity was low tho coz - as I tried to jump and climb up the side of a building I kept falling back down, no super power! Finally woke up knowing I have lots and lots to learn great experience!

WILD-I was trying to fall asleep when I started thinking about how neat it would be if the dream just suddenly appeared before my closed eyelids. Within seconds,bubbles rose around me and I was now underwater, looking up at the blue sky. I surfaced and found I was in the middle of the open ocean. The water was clear, blue, and vivid. I decided to see which way the current was flowing so maybe I could go back to land. A big wave rose up in the distance which gave me a clue. Looking up at the horizon I could see land. It looked like a boardwalk. I started to swim towards it, but woke up.

DILD-I was at an arcade. As I was walking, I noticed the gravity was off. I could jump and stay in the air for prolonged periods of time. I realized I was dreaming. I decided to fly and check out the dreamscape. I was in a medium density city. I saw a bullet train and wanted to ride it. As I flew towards it, however, it disappeared. I continued to fly and unexpectedly reached the edge of the city. There was noting but hills and countryside in front of me. I thought this was neat. I saw a young lady on a white horse. I woke up and attempted to DEILD. I steadly progressed in falling back sleep until...an ad popped up. I had to read the ad before I could continue my lucid dream. These ads are everywhere nowadays! I realized I had a virtual reality headset on. I took it off and was pleased to see it said I had 35 minutes remaining in my lucid dream. I woke up.

Dreamt I was in a Crash Bandicoot level. There was a bowl with a hole in the bottom and a powerful suction. Tried to escape the bowl and nearly succeeded, but a large, shadowy creature emerged from the bowl and dragged me down. I heard a child cry out in despair as I fell down and woke up.

For whatever reason I researched Gulliver's travels on my laptop (despite it being dead. I eventually realised it was a false awakening) and found a screenshot from what was allegedly a 1920s colour adaptation displaying a mayan city. Was transported there, can't remember what I did.

Woke up again (for real, this time), did WILD. Appeared in bedroom, enlarged a hole int the wall (that isn't there in reality) and walked through. Returned to Mayan city which gradually (and unnoticed by me until after) became a more modern city. After a brief bit of fighting with my base desires, I summonned a black hole behind me, turned around and walked through. Arrived at my old college building, where someone I identified as the Godfather (from the films, apparently, although he wasn't remotely similar) greeted me.

Can't remember much else apart from a bus chase and another false awakening, where I did most of my dream recall. As I attempted to WILD within the dream, I heard a mumbling conversation and woke up for real.

DILD#1-I was outside in the backyard of my grandmas house. A man was analyzing my golf swing for me. I took a nice swing with a 3 iron. I turn back and see the man has disappeared. I look around for him and find he went into the house to have a massage! I realize I'm dreaming. I jump into the void under the dreamscape and imagine flying over the ocean. A bay by a city appears and I dive in. The water is deep and realistic this time. I try to transform into a dolphin but can't. I see a plane ahead of me crashing into ocean. The plane heads for me but I fly up and dodge it. Just when I thought the plane had missed me, it started coming for me again. This happened a couple times until I found the plane was literally chasing me. I noticed on the wing there was a big angry face. It couldn't catch me. I taunted it, yelling "Nyah, Nyah, Nyah!!!". I woke up.

DILD#2-I woke up and noticed I was in my old house. I went outside and noticed my family was moving. I don't know if they were moving in or out. I greeted my dad and he smiled at me. I tried to walk around but my balance was very poor. I jumped into the void under the dreamscape. I tried to imagine myself ice skating. I couldn't see anything but I could feel the ice under my skates. I woke up.

DILD#1-I was trying to fall asleep when I noticed there was more light than there should be. I got up, pretty sure I was dreaming. I tried to jump to teleport and went though the floor to the void. I tried to imagine flying over the ocean but ended up back in my room. I teleported to the void again in the same manner. This time, the ocean appeared, although it was dark. I went underwater and noticed a huge shark which noticed me as well. I fought the shark, pounding it on the nose. I flew up out of the water and noticed there was a concrete wall on the shore. I focused on pounding the sharks head on the edge of the concrete as it was chasing me. This caused the shark to quickly become smaller until it disappeared.

I was now walking on an alley in a city. I started to lose the dream but I was able to focus on my hands until I was grounded again. I decided to phase through a stone wall for more points. I was now trapped in a courtyard with junk all over the place, so I decided to fly. I noticed the sky was now overcast. I woke up.

DILD#2-I was trying to fall asleep when I felt uncomfortable, as if there were more pillows than there should be. I saw that I was in a red and black room. I jumped into the void to teleport. I tried to imagine flying over the ocean again. This time, I ended up flying over a lake in the mountains. I tried to drop into the lake but instead kept rising. Eventually, I summoned enough willpower to dive into the lake, which was pretty shallow. Then, the dream forced me back up into the air. I thought, screw it. I'll do my summoning right here. What's bigger than human size? I put my hand behind my back to summon an eagle. I felt it bite and hold on to my entire finger. I struggled to break free from it but it only gripped tighter. I tried to get a view of the eagle but it was too big and was on top of my back. I somehow was able to free myself from and leave it behind. I woke up.

i´m in the kitchen and cutting something. i move some steps and step into my slippers. the right one is kind of to small and uncomfortable. i realize that i´m dreaming. i stop cooking and open the window and jump out of it and land on a little stoneplateau. i remember the challange task and jump over the fence to the next house. i phase thru the balconydoor and find myself in the kitchen. the lights are out and on the ground are a lot of leaves like noone be here for some time.
i rush up the stairs and while running up rubbing my hands. in the first floor i go to a room and want to open the door but loose vision. i try to come out of the void but cant manage it.
a false awakening is following that i dont recognize as such.

NLD LD Comment

DILD #1-I wake up and see text in my close eyelids which I perceive as HH. I try to play with the text in hope it will intensify and form a dream. I end up playing with it for a bit before I hear what sounds like talking on a tv. I try to see through my close eyelids and I see my bedroom. I walk down a dark hall, slightly unbalanced, which leads to my grandma's kitchen. I hold the counter with one hand and attempt to fling myself underground into a void, which I do. There's now nothing but darkness so I imagine the ocean. Instead, though, an underground room appears. There's two young ladies standing on a small platform and below there's a man on a fancy chair eating. I wake up.

DILD #2-I wake up in my bedroom to see a billboard on the wall. As I'm observing it, a couple of large, creepy rabbits come hopping into view. I try to get up but I can't move. Thinking about what to do, I try to move the bed through telekenisis which works. I imagine my hand is on a control which can move the bed. I drive the bed though a dark hallway for a bit before I wake up.

WILD #1:

I had been lying in bed, trying to WILD for the last 3 hours. I finally started to get tired and I felt my whole body vibrating. I had almost lost consciousness and gone into a non-lucid dream when H-Dog moved in the bed slightly, waking me up just enough to do an easy WILD transition.
I felt my dream hands moving and did an epiglottis block to make sure I was dreaming, and then I got out of bed. I was at my parents’ house, in my dad’s office. I walked out to the backyard, onto their patio. It was winter time and the trees were all barren, strange since it is actually beginning of Autumn there at the moment and the leaves are probably plentiful, orange, and golden.

I remembered what I wanted to do, tasks of the month. The first one that came to my head was to eat a moon rock. I raised my hands to the sky and made the moon come closer to the earth, it wasn’t happening very quickly though. Instead, I decided to make a single rock come to earth from the moon. It shot towards me at super speed and landed on the ground. I picked up what looked like a miniature model of the moon, or maybe what the moon would look like if it had been shrunk down to the size of a basketball. I took a bite out of it and tasted cold, watery ice. I looked at the moon rock and it had some Autumn leaves poking out of the space where I had just bitten into it. I remembered that I wanted to try to combine the fishing task with the ride a dino task so I flew over to a river and held out my hands, pretending that there was a fishing rod in them. A rod with line attached to it appeared and I imagined a dark shadow coming up from out of the river. I saw the dark shadow, but instead of a dinosaur, dozens of crocodiles appeared. Coincidentally, I think those are supposed to technically be dinosaurs. I caught one but I wanted to catch the dark dinosaur that was going to appear so I made it vanish. Another crocodile took the first one's place and a couple others started to rush at me. I started to wrestle the one that I caught and jumped on top of him. I was scared he was going to bite me so I let him bite my arm to be sure that I couldn’t be hurt. Then I tied the string around his snout and tamed him.

Woke up to a F.A. where B-Dog was sniffing around my head. Dreamer was awake, but I quickly wrote down some notes about the previous dream in my phone then told her about it. We got out of bed and we were in my Dad’s office. She was showing me something gross that Jenkees left on a table, I think it was his jockstrap that he supposedly wore to play golf. I thought that was a weird thing to wear golfing, but I suppose I would be wishing I had one on if a golf ball came flying at my balls. We went downstairs and into the backyard where we were talking about going to the doctor and dreams. Dreamer said something to me that I didn’t have to go see a G.P., because I could just wait a couple years and she could become a naturopath so that she could treat me. Her face suddenly changed and she looked a bit older. I still thought she was the most beautiful person I had ever seen.

DILD #1:

I woke up and was trying to fall back asleep again. I stayed there for awhile, just watching the darkness while waiting to enter a dream. I eventually had the thought that I might be dreaming still, so I did an epiglottis block reality check, air went through. I did a nose plug RC just to be sure, same thing. I got out of bed, still in my Dad’s office, and then started to walk down the stairs. Dream ended.

DILD #2:

I was trying really hard to fall asleep again, but I didn’t feel like it was going to happen. I remembered that the last time I had this I was actually already asleep, so I did an epiglottis block, still asleep! I got out of bed, still in my Dad’s office. I walked downstairs and out the front door then started to fly. I remembered that I wanted to do my three step task, I didn't realize that I had already done some of them in a previous dream.
I made 5 or 6 giant neighborhood bushes fly into the air and then revolve around each other in a circle. I then tried the next step, unsummoning, on another bush. First I tried to make it simply disappear, didn’t work, then I tried making it get absorbed into the ground to become one with the earth again, didn’t work. Then I tried to make it get thinner and thinner until it disappeared, that started to work but it just got really thin and never fully disappeared. I finally tried to yell, “POOF!” at it and make it disappear, still didn’t work so I gave up on that for now. Next time I’ll do better!
I decided to fly to town and look for something to do. I started flying extremely fast and everything was zooming by me, but I wasn’t content with that. So I made time speed up as well so that the people and the scenery were moving quickly and I was moving at RIDICULOUS SPEED. I have no idea why the town was so far away when it is normally just a 3 minute drive.
I eventually got to town and landed on black pavement. I was surrounded by brick buildings but that’s pretty much all about the scenery that I can remember. I looked into one building and there were people in there with a cat. I thought to myself, “How great, I’ll turn the cat into that giant cat and do the task of the year!”
I made the cat get larger and larger until it was significantly bigger than me, then I made its’ coat turn golden-orange. It came over to me, licked me, and then started bumping its head against my face. Very cute!

I remembered that I still had to take it to a beauty contest, so I made a door appear in the solid brick wall and opened it with my mind powers. I walked through with the giant kitty and we were at a cat beauty contest. There were a couple dozen other pretty kitties sitting patiently, but I knew that mine was the best by far. I walked up to the registration and the clerk was calling out, “Number 25, Vera? Vera?”
Some chubby, blonde lady started to stand up and say something but I made her stop and sit down. I then quickly said, “Yep, that’s me!”
The clerk handed me some tag to put on my giant kitty friend.
Now I was just waiting for them to announce that I was the winner, and I felt like they had implied that I was the winner at about this point. I asked the main announcer guy to officially announce that I had won, but instead he said into a microphone, “Okay now, before we announce the winner, a couple questions from the audience please”.
I started to wake up, the picture of the dream faded to darkness. I stayed still and waited for the dream to continue. I made the announcer guy keep talking until the dream started again. I successfully got back to the beauty contest and the announcer was rambling on. I asked the announcer politely, "Excuse me, who won?"
He ignored me and two audience members asked some weird, random questions that I can’t remember. The announcer guy was answering them while I was taking sips out of about 6 different soda cans, but they were all mostly empty. I was trying to juggle the cans and make them stand on top of each other, but I was super clumsy and they kept falling all over the place. The audience laughed at my antics. At this point the announcer was still jabbering on and I had gotten a bit sick of waiting for him, so I rudely interrupted him, “Excuse me mister, who won? Who Won? WHO Won?? WHO THE FUCK WON?!”
He just stared at me with a bewildered look on his face and blank eyes, then announced in a dull, monotonous voice, “There will be one more question we will ask, because we care about the quality of our contestants.”

I woke up, tried to DEILD, couldn’t fall back asleep. I was kicking myself at that point for not summoning a black hole and sucking that announcer guy up into it.

After another dream scene ended. I began waking up, I got out of bed and tried turning on the lights. It wouldn't work so I immediately began thinking I was in a dream. I tried a couple of more times before seeing if the bathroom lights would work. Finally one of the lights in the bathroom before going out as well. That's when I began feeling someone poking me before it soon became a push. I landed on the ground unable to see what it was and could only feel myself being wrap by my blankets. The scene then changes. Lucidity Time: 6 seconds.

I was an agent in the Matrix. I received information that redpills have breaken into the Matrix, and are looking for something on a construction site. With two other agents I quickly took over workers and ran after them. We chased them into a dead-end, and started to fight. I smashed concrete with bare fists, giving some heavy strikes to redpills. Somehow, they managed to push us back, and ran back to construction site. I quickly took over a forklift driver, and drove after them with as much speed as forklift can offer, which is not too much. However, it was enough to kill one of them with fork, but two of them escaped.

Suddenly Matrix received an error, and I found myself in my house. It was a big party over there, and a total mess. There was a blonde woman close to me. She was wearing a blue dress, and she had glasses. She started the conversation, talking about her recent travels. I mentioned my latest trip, which ended with rights to classify wood resource types and sell them. She was interested in the topic, but she had to go. I wandered the corridor for a while, and then I just woke up in my bed. Next I went to the toilet.

So I dreamt that I was going back to elementary school for a visit with my class. There was something going on. If we found a pig in a wedding dress, and a baby cow, we'd get a prize. I found the pig- it was in a closet. Then I walked past a 3rd grade classroom to see that the kids in there had already found the cow. Then the dream shifted- I was at a hospital waiting room at night. We went outside (my mom, sister, brother and I) To see... Barack Obama! He needed a ride somewhere. That just seemed so strange to me, I did a reality check. My finger didn't go through my hand, but sort of "melted" into it. Eh, still, that wouldn't happen IWL! I plugged my nose too, and could breathe perfectly! I tried to take off to fly, but couldn't! I "woke up" and immediately did a reality check. Nope, still dreaming. I got up, but as soon as I did, I "woke up" again, and did a reality check, only to find that I was in yet another false awakening. I tried shouting "Clarity now!" a few times because everything was blurry, but it was no use. After a few more false awakenings, I woke up.

WILD

The dream started in a giant, outdoor pagoda. Dreamer and I were lying down in a bed that was right in the center of it. I felt really excited that I had gotten into the dream successfully. A scary looking guy walked up to us with a knife, so I smiled at him and told him that he could be our protector in this dream. I also asked him if he would please hire some chefs for me because I was hungry. He turned around then walked out of the pagoda. I looked to my right and there was now a giant section of the pagoda that had a professional kitchen, fully staffed with professional cooks. I wanted to tell them to kindly make vegan food only, but I noticed that I couldn’t move or talk very easily. I felt my waking life body start to mouth the word “vegan” when I tried to talk to them, but Dreamer assured me that I made no noises while I was asleep. I remembered Sageous’ advice from earlier that day – I didn’t need to worry about these lethargic feelings because they would soon pass as my body fell into a deeper sleep. I waited patiently while mentally giving the chefs directions. I could see them busily cooking several fancy dishes with a vividly coloured assortment of vegetables and fruits being cut up. I was excited to eat something delicious.

I turned around to sit at a table with Dreamer while we waited for our meal. She was wearing an extravagant looking green dress and some very expensive looking jewelry. One of the cooks brought us each a dish of some strange food. I think that it tasted rather bland, but I can’t remember exactly.
I decided that I wanted to build this pagoda into a beautiful house. The colours in this dream were extremely bright and beautiful at this point; there was golden, vaulted roof, sunlight was coming in through all of the sides, and we were surrounded by lush, green gardens. I asked the cook that brought us the food to hire some architects and designers for me, so that we could have walls, various floors, and beautiful decorations. An army of invisible workers quickly transformed our giant pagoda into a beautiful mansion, it looked kind of like a time lapse video.
Dreamer disappeared and my lucidity started to gradually wane a bit at this point. I asked a DC to hire some servants and maids for me. A beautiful maid DC with brown hair, green eyes, and an olive complexion appeared and started talking to me.

Spoiler for Sex:

I tried to have sex with her but it didn’t work very well, my dick wouldn’t fit.

There was another part of the dream where I was wandering around thinking about metal that had the properties of rubber, I thought it sounded interesting and decided I would ask my material engineer friend about it when I woke up.
The next part I can remember, I was taking an elevator down into a basement with an entirely white interior – there were bright, white walls, floors, and even furniture.

Spoiler for Sex:

I tried to have sex with another DC, and it kind of worked for a second but didn’t feel like much of anything. She said something about having a boyfriend and that he wouldn’t be very happy about this. I started to wake up, waited for the dream to come back. I was in the same white basement again, but now there was a harem of beautiful, naked women. I walked up to one and tried to put myself inside of her from behind, and she said something like, “Oh, typical boss, he’s always doing that”.
My dreampenis was completely flaccid so it didn’t work very well.

Another gap in memory, I was going to a high school with Dreamer, but I was rich and too lazy to actually attend myself so I sent someone to take my place. They were equipped with a camera, two-way audio, and they would repeat anything I said. I suddenly realized that this was a dream again and thought to myself, “What the hell am I doing”. I took over the school proxy guy’s body and looked deep into Dreamer’s eyes and told her how much I love her. I was feeling very nice, enjoying the feeling of the connection that we shared. I then had a FA in our room.
I was talking to Dreamer when I noticed that there was no roof or walls and that we were in a grassy field. I realized it was a dream but did a nose plug RC just for fun, then I grabbed Dreamer in my arms and we took off flying. We were high up in the sky and there were floating trains everywhere going past us. I looked ahead and saw this futuristic city that was floating on the ocean. I thought about going there but then I noticed a small building that was flying in the sky on a piece of levitating land. We landed there and went inside. It was an arcade/movie theatre/restaurant that was quite busy to boot! I really wanted to eat some pizza so I walked to the front of an enormous line and asked the cash register lady for two large pizzas with extra pepperoni. She pulled them out of an oven and showed me two pieces of cheese that had huge hairs in them, then told me that her boss put them there. I called him over then told him that he was quite naughty for putting his hairs in my pizza.

The dream was suddenly interrupted by this out of place dream character that was supposed to be an angel. She had very fair features, soft, pale skin, bright, blonde hair, and deep blue eyes. She said to me that they didn’t really understand me (the DCs), because they didn’t actually know English. She started talking about this other language that was supposed to be the language of communicating with the higher self and other realms of existence. I kept talking with the dream angel while we casually strolled through an enormous garden. I have no idea what we talked about, but I do remember that she was at least 30 feet tall. I thought it was neat to see such a huge DC since I haven’t really seen giants that much in my dreams. I had another FA but never realized it was a dream.


DILD/WILD?

I was having a very nice non-lucid dream with a lot of beautiful scenery that is beyond my abilities to adequately describe, sadly. I really wish that I could take pictures of my dreams or draw them better.

I was on a beach, alone, searching through the sand for lobsters/crabs. I found a dead one’s enormous limb, but no real lobsters/crabs. I walked around this giant wall and found an inlet into a manmade bay. There were 100 foot sandstone walls on all sides and rocks below. Some DCs were playing a deadly game where they would try to free climb up the walls before these gigantic, tsunami sized waves crushed them. The waves were coming from all 4 sides as well, it was very strange, but the game was a lot of fun! I climbed with them using incredible athleticism that I most certainly do not possess IWL. It felt really nice to be so agile and strong. Everybody got to the top before the enormous waves came in and we were all hanging out on a small, mossy stone cliff. A girl with blonde hair and blue eyes was there and she said that she had romantic feelings for me. I strangely felt a connection with her too. I was starting to tell her that I was in love with someone else when I woke up into a FA. I told Dreamer about the dream and the girl and she got quite jealous, very unlike her. I thought it was funny that she was so jealous though. I did a WILD in the FA and took Dreamer with me, back to the previous dream.

We started back on the beach. I showed her the cool free climbing death game, and she struggled a bit to get up to the top with me. I noticed that the waves were going to crush her so I jumped down, grabbed her, and then flew up high. My flying skills failed me though and we started to crash back down to the ground. We landed on the beach, but there were no waves at all.

I decided that I might as well try the fishing task, so I reached my hand into the sand and pulled out a fishing pole with a feather and a fishing bubble attached to it. I threw the line into the water with the intention that I wouldn’t catch or harm any fish. I felt a tug almost immediately and started to reel in, and there was a mackerel on the line. I pulled it up to shore, feeling quite awful about it, but I decided that I was going to try to get something positive out of it. I held the mackerel up to my face and asked it to tell me a secret. I saw the hook coming out of its chest and I struggled to get it out while the mackerel was talking to me. He didn’t seem to feel any pain and his name was Norigawa. He said to me, “Inner tail not good, powder is yum.”

I thought that was a bit strange. He suddenly had huge, long, spiny fins. I tried to gently put him back in the water now that the hook was out, but I pulled the skin off his fins, revealing bones, and his chest had a gaping hole in it. I felt awful that I had damaged my fish friend so badly. Dreamer scooped some of the skin from his fins out of the water and stared at it in her hands.

I wasn’t happy with how that fishing experience went so I decided that I was going to do it again! It was getting dark now, the sun had almost completely set and we were surrounded by palm trees. I said to myself that this time I would catch something profound. I started to throw my line out when a long, snake-like dragon started slithering towards me from the ocean, trying to be caught. It scared me a little bit so I said to it, “No, I don’t want to catch you!”

It kept slithering towards me and I felt like it was going to become hostile if I kept being afraid of it, so I banished it to another realm that was halfway between here and somewhere else. I could still see it but it looked ethereal now. Dreamer said to me, “Aren’t you worried that it will escape?”

The dragon transformed into a skeleton with Nordic armor and started to charge itself up with various rpg skills. I told her as I threw the line out to the ocean, “No, it can’t escape, unless something sets it free”.

Suddenly there was a bright, fiery, orange glow beneath the surface of the water that was rushing towards my hook. I thought to myself, “Damnit…”
This huge creature made of fire grabbed my line then jumped out of the water, its name was Diablos. It set the dragon-skeleton free and they both started to attack us. I summoned mirror images of them so that they would be evenly matched automatically, then summoned mirror images of Dreamer and I to use our own dream powers against them. I then made glass walls appear all around the dragon and Diablo, and vaporized them with a powerful, fiery explosion. Woke up.


DILDs

I don’t remember most of this series of lucid dreams, just small fragments.

In one I was at a vegan bakery and I tried their pavlova, their cake, and this custard pie thing. Only the custard pie tasted delicious and I told the DC that made it that. She said to me, “I would hope so, that recipe is what built this place.”

Another part, I was wandering through a restaurant, eating food off various DC’s plates, yum. I came to one old lady that was cutting up a huge steak. I thought to myself, “Hmm, that might be interesting.”

Spoiler for Sex:

I asked her if I might kindly steal some of her food and she adamantly said no, and then proceeded to imply that I might be allowed to have some if I performed a sexual favor for her. I began to play with her through her dress and she said that I could have some. One of her maids saw us and tried to tell her husband, but he was oblivious to what was going on. The maid rolled her eyes and gave up.

Another part, I was wandering through a house when I saw Harley Quinn and the Joker. Harley Quinn said that she liked me but that she was never going to monogamous to any person, then asked if I would be jealous. I said no. She asked me again, “So if I was having sex with a guy in front of you right now, you wouldn’t even flinch?”

I said no again.

Spoiler for Sex:

I walked into another room and watched her through a window with transparent, white curtains as she took off her pants and started touching herself.

Another dream, I was non-lucid while standing on a frozen lake with Dreamer. There were characters from sesame street surrounding us. They were summoning random objects like old shoes and pans to throw at each other, but they would always miss. Splashes of various colours would appear where the objects hit the surface of the lake – green, red, purple, yellow, orange, blue. It was quite pretty to see. I’m pretty sure that the trees around us were sparkling too, I felt like I was in some weird fairy world. I became lucid from that and took Dreamer for a fly on a bicycle, it felt very E.T. and it was a ton of fun. I really loved flying through the air on that bike with her, exploring the magical landscape. I wish that I could remember more of what happened.

Introduction

I got up far too early this morning and decided to go back to sleep and lucid dream. It took me a while to fall asleep again after waking up. I used the usual MILD strategies - keep my body perfectly still until I experience sleep paralysis; focus on sleep; and maintain my lucid dreaming intentions. After an hour I so, I found myself in my first dream of several.

The Dreams
I was able to repeatedly induce a series of semi-lucid dreams, most of which I have already forgotten. I still remember a few of the dreams though. The first was a false awakening where I checked my hands. It was then that I realized that it was a false awakening - I had six fingers on each hand! Next, I squeezed my nose and realize that I could still breathe through it. That confirmed it - I was in a lucid dream! At this point, I was so excited that I was starting to wake up as I felt my hands on my bed (despite standing up in the dream). I tried to go back to sleep and lost consciousness. And so, I decided to "reboot" the dream.

Take two. I held on to the previous dream in order to re-enter it. This time I found myself in the same dream bedroom I woke up in but instead of a false awakening, I was standing in the room. Just for fun, I did some experiments: I jumped and floated around. Then I waved my arms. Uh-oh...I was getting to excited again and my physical body was starting to wake again! I let go of lucidity and tried to "reboot" the dream again.

Take three. Once again, I found myself in the same bedroom. I found my dad who was a dream character who behaved almost nothing like him in real life! I approached him with the intention of conversing with my subconscious. He seemed quite ... untalkative, providing with one word answers on everything I ask him. Nevertheless, the answers provided what I needed to move on. I was starting to wake up again from trying to be too lucid so I gave up lucidity again and rebooted into another dream.

Final dream. I found myself at a lottery booth with lottery tickets scattered across a table. I tried to read the tickets for numbers and dates, hoping to see today's date and tonight's predicted winning numbers. But the numbers keep changing each time I glanced away. Instead of numbers, some of the tickets had words on them. For instance, one of them had "poop blossom" instead of lottery numbers. Hahaha...very funny, subconscious mind.

Observations
- Time/Duration: 7 AM - 9 AM / 2 hrs.
- Dream control was poor in all of these dreams.
- Dream vividness was also very poor - these felt more like daydreams than lucid dreams.
- I was more "awake" in these lucid dreams than any I have had before (which were all DILD).
- I was partly awake during the transitions between dreams.
- Lucidity disappears if I become too "awake" in my dreams because then I can feel my physical body.
- I was very "analytical" in these dreams, much like in waking life. I constantly tried to figure out what's "rational" and what's not in order to stay lucid. Maybe that's why I couldn't do many physics-defying tasks such as flying.
- I was tired after waking up.

Speculations
- Having a series of lucid dreams reduces dream recall, analogous to having a series of regular dreams.
- Vivid lucid dreams require me to be "less awake." DILD earlier in the morning may be best for that, based on prior experience.
- Dream control requires less analytical thinking and more spontaneity. Stop thinking about physics!

Planned Experiments
- Try another MILD early in the morning but wake up after the first dream instead of "chaining" more dreams to it. Is dream recall improved? Am I less tired? How is dream vividness?
- Dream control: Be more spontaneous in dreams. Stop being so analytical. (This is hard...)

I was thinking about/visualizing a story that I have been working on lately and running through some plot elements. I was thinking about a part where the characters fly to space on a special spaceplane. I then decided that had best wake up, since I have to teach Taekwondo on Wednesdays. I brought myself out of the visualization but felt odd accelerations.

I opened my eyes and saw that I was on the special spaceplane, and we were landing. I did a nose pinch and sure enough I was still dreaming. I sat up in my chair and looked around. I told myself I would regret this at some point, but that It was important that I wake up. All that managed to do at first was make the plane phase away and drop me on the runway.

The runway morphed into a road and became narrower. I was now standing to one side of it, in a wheat feild. Across the road were several large industrial buildings. There was a stand selling bananas on my side of the road. I noted that what few cars there were were driving on the opposite sides of the road that I am used to.

I went over to the guy at the banana stand because he was kind of blurry and I wanted to get a closer look. He turned out to be this huge hulk of a man with a balding head. He smiled and said:

"Im the Supervisor, Can I get a taxi number?"

(A cookie to anyone who can tell me what that DC referencing without having to look it up.)

I saw the word 'Taxi' was printed on the side of one of his bananas.

Second false awakening. This time I was in my backyard. I thought it was waking life for awhile. I looked around and all around me were digital clocks. But of course they all read weird times like 12:338 was one that I remember. This caused me to reality check. I became lucid and realized that this had happened twice now, clearly I wasn't getting out of this dream.

I remember at this point in the dream I looked at my hands. People always talk about how your hands look so weird in dreams. Mine seem to look completely normal most of the time. I look at them. The skin tone is darker than I am used to but they look completely normal. I'm not wearing my bracelets, but I didn't make a note of that. I try to poke my finger through my hand. I'm simply met with the usual resistance and I can't do it. Just like a waking life hand.

I guess I figured there was no point to continue to try to wake up, so I figured I would just see what the dream had to offer. I looked around the backyard. All of the plants/trees were gone. Not just the ones in my yard, but everywhere. Just the grass was left. I looked inside my house through a window and saw that all the furniture was gone.

I tried to fly by jumping off the table on my back patio but I just floated back down to the ground. I also noticed that I could see my reflection in the window of my house. For some reason I had really long hair, like down to my knees long hair.

"Hello?" I yelled and my voice echoed though the neighborhood. I became worried that this would be like one of my early lucid dreams where I was alone somewhere and no dream characters would show up. I was relieved to see. A group of identical people in the distance talking to one another.

Out of the group came Marcus. Except he had a huge distracting beer belly. He walked over and I asked him something. I remember his voice very clearly when he replied but I can't remember anything having to do with what he said. Then Manei appeared as well. She was pulling a wagon and she looked to be about 10. Except she also had a mustache. (Okay, so not her funniest appearance mess-up to date.)

She said she was excited because she was taking to see me a music show. She said something about it being a group from her tribe and their traditional performance. I didn't see any show, but I saw some people putting towels over a fence. I thought this was kind of weird until I figured out that it was a puppet music show. So the people were putting towels over the fence so you wouldn't pay attention to them, only the puppets then they had large puppets, too big for even a hand. They actually turned out to be costumes.

Okay. So what are the towels for? So that the actors have privacy while they change. Pointless since we can see them from where we are sitting; and they're just putting the costumes on over their clothes.

It was at this point that I took into question the reason my usual DCs looked different. In particular, I wanted to know why Manei was so small all of the sudden. I asked her and she replied, but I don't recall what she said.

I then notice that once they put on the costume, their appearance seems to morph some. One of the actors changes into Manei, and the one sitting next to me goes away. Only this version of her is super vivid, and the correct age, except she was wearing beige/brown instead of the usual red, and had two braids. I remember the same kind of thing happened to Marcus only he didn't have a beer gut and he was wearing gray instead of blue. I remember both of these DCs really seemed to 'pop' from the dreamworld.

Then, I felt myself getting pulled twoard the third actor. My 'soul' was forcibly pulled from my body, but I just let it happen, curious as to what would happen when I was absorbed by the costumed actor. I was then distracted when I noticed there was a fourth actor. But he/she wasn't turning into anybody.

A computer error appeared.

"Compatibility Error.
Dream [1] character has incompatible drivers.
Dream [4] character not found.

Would you like to exit the dream or check online for a solution?"

I lost the dream and woke up laughing.
