false awakening

There was a guy having an argument with a group of people. He then became irritated and open the garage door while holding a folded up chair, telling everyone to enter in it. None of them but myself decided to follow of him inside. He then threw the folded up chair on to one of the blue walls. Then sat arrogantly on one of the blue chairs. I told him you must really want to get back at those guys. He made a smirk while nodding his head to confirm what I had said. I decided to step out of the garage for a minute. I went in the kitchen to randomly check on the refrigerator and notice a girl in a pink hoodie. I didn't know the person but didn't really care for why they were here.


I then was curious about what the guy in the garage was planning to do after I left. I then thought it was a good idea to return there. I open the door and I could see him saying something to me but I could not hear it. Soon after that I was in third person point of view. One woman in a green sweater and one guy in a white sweater began chasing him all around the garage. I attempted to chase him to, but got distracted when I notice the dream environment changing from a garage to a work office building with many computers. This made me become lucid.

The guy everyone was pursuing in the office suddenly vanish. I then observed the office and notice a few others working. I then walk over to one of the counters, but that's when things in the dream started breaking down and getting blurry. I started hearing my mother voice and my eyes began to open to only be in another false awakening. I however felt tired and close my eyes again to be back in the same work office environment as before. This help me get lucid again to where I now notice the guy in the white sweater was at the counter speaking to an employee.

That's when the dram started falling apart again and I heard my mother voice again. I was started to struggle to stay grounded in the dream in till I realize my tongue was outside my mouth. I got up and believe I was awake but I was still in a false awakening. Lucidity Time: 1 minute

I awake and i notice that its still night time. my window curtains are open and look away. i can't move, fear is pushing me down on my bed. I know though in my mind all the sudden that aliens are in my room or outside of it. I force my self out of this weird paralyzed state . and i jump out of bed. i run to my door and i feel the energy of something behind me at this point. i stop and listen and i hear something outside walking outside my room by my door. i open it and i run to my parents room across the hall and i tell my mother I'm sleeping in there tonight. she's half asleep and says yes. I'm 16 i never do this it was super weird I'm not scared of shit like that most of the time in dreams but this was REAL. i stay awake for about 1 hour still hearing things outside her door. then i finally fall asleep.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #260: The Prancing Pied Piper

A false awakening takes me downstairs where I putter around for a bit doing silly "chores" like moving chairs around. Then I head back upstairs, totally focused on having a lucid dream when I “return to bed”. Just so that I’ll get in the right mindset, I do a nose pinch reality check and oh hey, check it out, I’m already having a lucid dream! I hold the nose pinch and start leaping and prancing about, waving my other hand in the air. I sing about lucid dreaming while I do this.

I head into my youngest son R’s room, but instead of R, I find my 5-year-old son E sleeping on his bed. “Daddy, what are you doing?” he asks getting out of bed.

I keep singing, prancing, nose-pinching, and waving one arm. I sing, “Lucid dream, lucid dream, lucid dreeeeee-eeeeeeam!” E laughs and says, “Daddyyy!” I think about returning to the master bedroom in the hopes of finding Wife and enjoying some sexytime. But those plans fall through when E gets out of bed, and starts following me around, prancing the same way that I am.

I reflect on the joy of being lucid and this emotion takes me to a desire to hear beautiful music. (I’d chained these feelings together using Dreamer’s goal memory technique.) This is in pursuit of Jenkees’ dare to do cool stuff to a lucid orchestral soundtrack. E and I go prancing into the master bedroom as I realize that I need to stop singing if I’m going to get a new soundtrack.

The lights are on in the bedroom and instead of me or Wife, my friend KS is lying in bed next to some blonde guy with surfer hair. KS gets out of bed and rubs her eyes like it’s the morning. I ignore her and surfer guy, instead phasing my face through the shutters so I can look out into the night. I start creating an orchestral soundtrack in my head.

It sounds nice, but I realize that I’m forcing every note manually and composing it as an act of will. I want it to emerge organically instead. Maybe if I go do something outside. I phase through the window and leap out into the night with a yell. As I’m preparing to take flight, the dream ends.

I appear to be lying on the garage floor and as I turn my head around. I see the television is on, it display a song I usually listen to on most days. This caught my attention and soon after I got a dream like feeling that I couldn't ignore and became lucid. I felt like I lift my hand to my face but I could see nothing coming to my eyes. It was difficult but I tried to turn my head around. I could see a door behind me but getting up was hopeless. The struggle cause me to wake up, however as my eyes open, something felt wrong. I quickly caught on again that I was experiencing a false awakening. I however could not move at all. That's when this odd sensation occurred of where I could move my body parts and get up from the bed but my eyes or head would not follow.

I could even hear my feet walking on the floor but my eyes and head was still completely on the bed. Parts of the blanket was blocking my vision, even though my arms weren't moving, it would feel like they were and would move the blankets off me. Then soon after I was able to move. The dream like sensation wore off but I never recalled waking up from the false awakening. Lucidity Time: Don't know.

I'm in the living room and somehow I could see a man in another house wearing a brown fedora that shadow his face well. He was wearing a brown trench coat with brown pants. That's when I open the back door and was in a different place. The man was 80 feet away from me, the sky was dark brown and very cloudy. I was in a house with no lights standing at the open back door, noticing that ahead of me lies nothing but an ocean. My focus change and that's when it began. The man started running on water but in such a formal way. His legs would go up after the other at a quick pace. I to was also able to walk on the ocean.

It would not let me sink down, I however was unable to go at the constant pace he was excelling at. I was having trouble moving due to my legs seeming to be much heavier and felt like gravity would keep pulling them together, making it difficult to get through. I can tell the man was getting farther away. That's when we both cross the entire ocean and made it to the next house. I open the next back door to see the rest of the ocean. I look far to the distance and can see the man marching on water even faster than before, with his hands crossed behind his back. Watching him this time made me become lucid.

I look at the water and plunge in to catch up. However this time the water didn't allow me to stay above it. I began sinking down while hearing the sounds of the water passing through my ears, thinking of how long will I not be able to breath. Eventually I drown due to my body feeling like it was filled with led. I woke up gasping for air and I quickly reacted to the dream being a false awakening. The time stated 7:11 PM but I couldn't stop gasping for air and began to lose focus. I then lost lucidity and woke up soon after. Lucidity Time: 1 minute

​12/4/14 <snip earlier NLDs> Counting one LD for tonight though two lucid experiences of some kind plus one semi lucid to lucid one. During the first one was having trouble getting to sleep after WBTB and at some point (mark green for uncertainty of what this was, green normally used by me for semi-lucids) I felt like I was in my dream body and that there was a unusually good replication of snoring. I do a glottal RC since this feels like I'm dreaming that I'm in bed and I don't want to risk waking myself up. The RC shows that I'm asleep. I stay patient and there are announcements with an echo exactly like you would hear a train station . One of them said "Charlotte" and another one said "extension 4210." There was a lot of talking over this speaker system. I tried to visualize a train pulling up since this all seemed like an experience in the void and I seem to get one in a rather wispy way, not solid enough. I consider whether or not it could just be HH's but it felt like I was fully asleep and my glottal RC indicated that I was nowhere near awake and gave the result I expect when I'm asleep and dreaming. It feels like I'm both in this train station and in bed with my dream body though and I I try to roll out of bed but couldn't move and decided to wait a little bit longer and the audio continued. I wonder if this could be NREM. I sense again what feels like my dream body and it feels like I'm successful moving my dream hand a little bit so I try to roll out of bed again but then either wake up or have a false awakening. I'm quite sure it was a real awakening though with the noise I heard from my wife getting ready. Whatever that was I wanted to have a regular REM lucid but I probably should have just floated there in the emptiness for a while longer. I'm in my house walking around when I walk into a bathroom and there is a woman I don't recognize and I instantly realize that I'm dreaming and I decide too have some fun with her and she is agreeable to take off her top and has nice breasts. I did want a little different looking woman and when I look back up at the mirror she is a different woman thinner and more attractive in the face with smaller breasts. This woman takes a little more convincing to become naughty but eventually she agrees to remove her top which should have stayed off right? She replaced the DC standing in the same exact spot just before that had her top off. I enjoy her for a little while and decide to imagine the third woman and she also materializes but this is when it gets a little blurry or foggy and eventually leads to a convincing false awakening where I'm rushing to get out of the house I am late or close to being late. I'm gathering my gym bag and there is some stuff in there that somehow I forgot to wash. My wife and my son are here but for some reason my son is taking my car and I have to take the truck. My wife comes up and says there's a construction vehicle that says your vehicle is in the way and it looks like they're going to tow it. I know that I parked it in a legal
spot and just because they're doing some work doesn't give them the right to tow my car so I go out there and I see the truck again and I wonder why again am I driving the truck and how am I even starting it...it is having mechanical problems? There's another vehicle pulling out from a neighboring parking spot heading towards the truck slowly. I know that the other car is not going to hit it but he does and pushes my vehicle and there is a mischievous look on the driver's face. As he gets to the other side of me and parks I noticed a baby carrier from his car and it is empty and this is the part that is semi lucid to fully lucid because I decided that this must be a dream and I'm going to pick up the baby carrier and use it to rough up this idiotic DC and I take number of swings before waking up. 242

12/3/14 <snip> Wake 5:15 very tired, game last night. To bed 11:50pm.
Old neighborhood put two new blocks the streets look oddly vacant newer and lit up strangely in the daytime perhaps the way light looks when you have sunny rain. I'm with my father and apparently we bought a house on this block and I'm going down to check it out I get down to the end of the block and I've gone too far according to the numbers which are confusing but in hindsight may have been unusual and not in order as normal. a neighbor has a big screen TV outside their porch dark house. For some reason I'm avoiding detection by the neighbor perhaps it's not our house yet? I go to open the door and it is unlocked and I'm able to go in this is when I notice how extremely dark it is in there. (Memory gap or very odd transition) When leaving it is like I'm at an open house and other people are looking at the house and they asked for directions back to the freeway. I pull out my phone and the first application doesn't do a good job of pulling up the map
so pull up Google Maps and I accidentally click on part of the map that's back near my current day home which delays me finding the information they need but then eventually I reset the map to current location and have a hard time determining my current location it keeps moving on the map but eventually settles but the person already gave up and I guess figured they would find their way back to the freeway. I follow out as well. I pass this big open area with lots of displays including a miniature display it said miniature people go here as if someone set it up each time. I go further down the sidewalk and see the group of people that were asking for directions and they are stopped talking and blocking the sidewalk it occurs to me to fly over them and that's when I fully realized I was dreaming. The scene is not unlike a festival scene with DC's everywhere. I fly low over the crowds of people looking around enjoying myself but I realize the dream feels
a little unstable and I start to think about how I can keep it going and I decide to land and walk on the ground and it seems to stabilize a little but I should have taken it further and grab some grass or rub my hands because I didn't get to walk around very long before I felt myself back in bed and a little too uncomfortable to drop back in. 241

12/1/14 Did much more pre-bed in bed. Some insomnia but early LD before 355am wbtb. The earliest that I remember being lucid I am looking at a bright scene way down below and decide to fly there. Perhaps induced by "if I were lucid I would!" It takes longer to get there than expected and I just decide this is the place at an empty clearing in the woods. I decide there will be many women in the area I'm about to land. Next thing I remember I am in a #church #parkingLot showing off how far I can throw stones while lucid. We can hear my stone splash down in the pond that is way up there. Seem to lose lucidity as I explore the parking lot and find it really dark when following source of many people in the lot...the church exit. Later I show 2 people my device that shoots energy bursts and finally get it to work as the 2 drive off...I had to hold down the button longer. I'm on a motorcycle and losing track of them at an exit I don't know if they turned right at High Street or if they turned left to turn around on freeway. I miss the light and am revving on edge as two #police approach from my right and look at me like suspect I'm about to run red light then say "I can't believe that" later realizing they were talking about the street artist who is gambling in the street. He is known for painting feathery creatures in the street and may be Native American. 240

Tonight or last night? Remember eating a lot of things in dream and thinking how that was unusual for me.

Weird clown-like guy that was pulling a prank this involves him pretending to stab himself and splashing blood all over the wall. Not scary but weird.

11/29/14 Setting up audio/video equipment just like last night IWL.
No strong dreams to "meditate" on so I use SSILD 2nd night in a row. In hindsight, the previous night's was a rather typical realization for a DILD using SSILD. Tonight it seems that I was at the very beginning of the dream and realizing I am dreaming. There is a beautiful overlook down to a nighttime view of a city that I don't recognize. There is a wooden fence blocking part of the view and I float up and hang my arms over the fence to get a better view when the visuals start fading. I start chewing on the fence and have a little trouble with it but before long feel myself uncomfortable in bed needing to change position but optimistic about reentering a dream lucid but got sidetracked with waking activities so no worries. 239

Actually back to SSILD for all of these nights except the early LD on 12/1.

Here’s another lucid dream (or OBE) from Aug 12, 2014. No LD last night, so I’ll add a memorable one from my dream journal.

I was lying in bed patiently waiting for the next dream to start. My mind was conscious, yet my body was asleep. I could feel violent vibrations originating in my torso and extending out to my limbs. These were coming in waves. I knew something was about to happen! Suddenly, somebody crawled into bed with me. It was my wife! I was a bit disappointed that she woke me up because I was just having ‘the vibrations’. I was sleeping in the guest room that night, because my CPAP machine was driving my wife nuts. CPAP, great for sleep, hard on romance. She didn’t say anything to me, we just snuggled for a bit, and then she moved over to the other bed. Little did I know this was a false awakening? To my surprise, my dear daughter then crawled into bed beside me! Seeing my daughter made me instantly lucid. We snuggled for a bit, and then I told her that mom’s in the other bed, can you see her? She looked at the other bed, and said, “No.” I then looked, and sure enough, my wife wasn’t there. I then tickled my daughter’s stomach, and said nonsense words, like I use to say when she was a baby. My daughter laughed and giggled.

She then jumped out of bed, and asked that I follow her. Standing at the end of my bed, she reached up to grab something, and then passed me a gold fishing hook, with a golden spring around shank. This is a very unique hook. I looked at it, and it was the exact same as a hook I found a week earlier, stuck in my cabin’s front door! I was shocked by this! My daughter then asked me to come explore with her, and she opened my bedroom door and ran out. I was about to leave, and follow, but I could hear my CPAP mask leaking air on my face. I turned around and saw my body lying on the bed, asleep. I walked up to my body and adjusted the mask, so the leak would stop hissing. This worked! I turned around and ran for the door to follow my daughter. I got too excited, and then I woke up consciously from the LD, but my body was still asleep.

I stayed perfectly still and focussed on returning to my room, so I could go and explore with my daughter. This worked, but I was no longer lucid! I was lying in bed again, and then a black cat jumped up on my bed beside me. I petted the cat’s back and then its stomach. Btw, black cats are my dream sign, but I didn’t clue into the fact that I was dreaming. Darn, I should have done a reality check.

I went to my cabin, the weekend following this dream, and found that hook, and it now hangs in my bedroom shelf. Also, as an additional synchronicity, I was visiting a physic medium a week or two later, in an effort to connect with my daughter. The medium described this dream to me with some detail; without any input from me whatsoever, and she said my daughter wants me know this was an OBE, not a lucid dream, and she wanted me to follow her out of the bedroom. Well, who am I to argue with that, and why would I? I did manage to follow her, a few months later, in lucid dream titled, ‘A Little Noodles Please’.

I was in middle school again, making my way to leave the entrance. As I am going down the hallway, one of the teacher ask me if I will be returning for the play that will be happening at 4:00PM. I said no and that I felt like staying home. I continue walking to the last entrance in till the actors for the scene approach me. They ask me to be apart of them. I told them I would, however I didn't want to screw it up if I don't remember all my lines. They all understood and one guy in a red clown costume with a music instrument said let's go and off they went. I turn around and open the double doors , while walking I notice I was in the middle school gym arena. I also realize a girl in a grey purple worded hoodie about 10 feet away from me. I decided to mind my own business and continue on walking in till I heard loud stomping coming closer. That's when her arms was around my neck and I tumble to the ground. I yelled what the hell to only see her gliding on the ground to kick my face.

I barely dodge it, and then some other students appeared. That's when she return to her normal behaviour. We all began walking in to huge building with colorful lights surrounding the area. I saw two guys debating who's knuckles were tougher as their fist hit one another. That's when one of them came to me and we both tested ours agaisnt one another. The crowd seem huge since there wasn't much room to walk around. Then a little girl in a light pink hoodie was comparing her height with mine. One kid says she's gotten a bit taller. That's when I woke up and decided to go back to sleep.

I appear in the rest room and notice quickly that the toilet was flip upside down. I turn it back in to it's correct position. But then I notice how repulsive the toilet seat look. I tried cleaning it but I began to realize there were dead insects smash on to the seat. That's when I left and enter father room. I spend some time in there in till everything went black again. A false awakening occured and I woke up on the bed with my father 5 feet away looking directly at me. I put my head down and was trying to think of something I did wrong. My father then said he was going to leave to help find a way to deal with his heart burn.

I look at him as he turn around and suddenly I begin to see that he bares my face on his head. I began saying that's not right. The DC quickly reverted to the way my body would look like. And afterwards claim that he simply grew more inches for a few seconds. I told him there can't be me two me's though. That's when I told him the DC I already knew I was dreaming. He seem disappointed, almost as if he got caught in a lie to avoid confessing in court. I ask him to check under the bed again as I remember being non-lucid while being interested in what's under it. I began walking and place my head under the bed to only see darkness coming out of it emiting from it.
I woke up. Lucidity Time: 13 seconds.

My brother and I were sitting in the living room, talking. That's when our mother came and told us our father will be here soon. We both waited not too long afterwards. He arrived and said lets go. I open the door and began approaching the car till I see the neighbors complaining. Then one of the guys came up and slap me. The slap made me become a bit more aware because it felt odd and it was completely random. A commission was beginning to happen. I enter back and could tell my parents reaction was curious for what involvement I had outside. I said I was slap for no reason I'm aware of. We all enter back outside and I saw the guy again that hit me. I ask him what are you doing here? But every time I see his mouth move I didn't hear anything. He seem agitated and I was as well. I suspect it was a dream so if I attack him I won't have strength. I decided to try and push the man but it was futile. It felt like my arms were sponges that couldn't conduct force. The man then jump up while hanging on the roof with his arms. I then jump and grab on to his legs to pull him down but it did nothing. I look down and knew I had no strength. That's when I told the man watch this, I began performing acrobatics by using both of his legs. This was proving to be effective as he began to slip and fall down. I got up and look at my brother saying the job is done. That's when we both realize, our parents have enter the car and has driven off without us. The irritated neighbors dash off to follow them. My brother and I began to do the same. As we're running, the whole scenery and motion of the dream with the situation help turn my suspicion to lucidity.

We eventually made it to the next block but the neighbors and car were far away from us. That's when I turn around and see this guy running toward my way, so I prepare myself and quickly dash at him but ends up I lost because I got tackle down. The dream faded and turn in to a false awakening. I woke up in a different area. I began looking around everything was larger and off. I became lucid again and notice I was in a cabin. I lift my head up to only get hit on my forehead by a nail sticking out of the wooden bunk bed. The hit made me lose lucidity and I continue to have a non-lucid experience. Lucidity Time: 24 seconds

27.11.2014

Walking backwards and stumbling against a wall of bushes. (WBTB)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was an odd way to get lucid, well, not really but the situation is. Having here a bit of a hard time adjusting to the winter in my new place, it is humid and very cool, and the heat at the house is not strong enough for me (I am used to San Diego year round summer) So I woke up around 5am after waking up a million times earlier and feeling the cold hitting my bones... got frustrated and got into the computer. After 30 minutes or so, I went back to bed, hoping i would fall asleep fast as I was sleepy. As I was falling asleep, I was thinking like "some WBTB... maybe I turn lucid."

And pretty much I found myself in a dream, however, it was not a WILD but I had a false awakening and I felt that I was in a dream, even though, I was still feeling cold. I grabbed a little lamp that I had and I figured it would no longer work. As I turned it on, it started to do a very weird play of random colored lights, knowing I was indeed dreaming.

I got out from bed and glided outside from home. I was happy I finally fell asleep and I was feeling refreshed from the lucid. I was in the middle of the road and it was night. This was similar to the road in front of my house, and there were no cars. I saw a wall of bushes, similar to this:







I recalled "Walk backwards until you bump into something/someone. Turn around to see what it is. (Jenkees)" so I turned around and start walking backwards, assuming I would stumble against the bushes. It took (what it felt) a while to even hit something. As I did several steps back, way more than the distance from where I was at first place and the bushes. I was tempted to look back to see what was going on, but I figured I could fail the task, so I just kept walking backwards for a while until I hit a ton of leaves. The bushes were different now, as it was like branches with autumm brownish leaves. I felt satisfied as accomplishing this task.

I focused it was time to go kick Dark Vather's butt (a new dare I just got) and maybe fly to the sun in the process (an anyone dare and old goal of mine) but as soon as I started levitating to fly to space, I lost the dream like instantly and woke up.

From here, I had a chain of mini-lucids and double consciousness state, with a very blurr memory of what happened.

I had a semi-lucid dream about flying in a hot air balloon, and woke up after the dream had ended. It was around 4 Am and I decided to do a WILD (Wake Induced Lucid Dream). My body was asleep, yet my mind was conscious, waiting for the dream to start.

As I was lying in bed, I could feel my dream body floating slightly in my bed. It was kind of like hovering in and about where my body should have been, but it was not connected too well. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, I felt somebody pulling on my calf! I opened my dream eyes, and quickly looked down to see who was pulling on my calf, and I saw my daughter standing there! She was glowing faintly white, and was wearing light blue clothes. She quickly ran into the closet and hid. I jumped out of bed, leaving my body behind, and ran to the closet and reached in. I could feel arms everywhere. There were a couple of (or maybe three) dream figures in there! I heard some giggling and laughing. I realized I was only wearing my gitch. I thought I needed to get some clothes on quickly, so as not be half naked in front of these wonderful dream figures, and then I was suddenly wearing my housecoat. It just magically appeared. My daughter jumped out of the closet, and we walked out of my bedroom. I told my daughter, I love her and I miss her, and she said, “I know.” We both started to cry.

We walked down the hallway, and then we headed down the stairs. To my surprise there was a fancy restaurant where the foyer should have been. The restaurant had scattered groups of people, sitting around and chatting. It was split into two areas by a stand-up bar, the lounge area, and the dinner area. The walls were covered with satin brown panelling, and floor was white ceramic tile. It was like a shrimp and steak house! I asked my daughter to hold my hand so I could stay focussed, and not lose my lucidity. She did, and we walked past the lounge area into the restaurant. We then turned around and headed back to the lounge area. I asked her about lucid dreaming, what it meant, and she turned her back to me and didn’t want to discuss it. Fair enough, so we walked back over to the lounge area. I thought maybe we could grab a couple of drinks and some food, then sit down and have a conversation. I asked the lady at the counter for a coffee and Baileys. As I was waiting, I started to sing, “You know an OBE, yeah you know me, you know an OBE, yeah you know me.” I sang this to remind me that I was dreaming, so I wouldn’t forget, and slip into a mindless state. The lady at the counter was taking soooo long. I was wasting valuable lucid dream time waiting for coffee. Never again will that happen!

The table of people beside me noticed my OBE song. One dream figure said, “What did he say?”, and the other replied, “I think he said OBE?” Then they started to whisper back and forth. I looked at my daughter who was now sitting with 3 of her friends at a table, and they kept turning their heads to look at me. My niece came walking by and was making a commotion. I asked the lady at the counter again for a coffee, and she put a bag of chocolates in front of my face and said, “Here!” I thought, oh whatever, I’ll take the chocolates. I looked down and reached into my pocket to find some money to pay her. Holy smokes, I was no longer in my housecoat. I was now wearing yellow shorts and a T-shirt. How did that happen? I fumbled through my pockets to try and find some money, but there was none. As I reached to grab the bag of chocolates a toonie fell from my wrist, hit the floor, and then rolled against the counter. The restaurant went silent. I turned and asked my daughter to come over and here so we can order her some food. She quickly came over, and I asked her what she would like. She said, “A little noodles please.” She had her head down, and she looked like something had gone wrong. I thought oh crap, so much for blending in and being inconspicuous. My daughter looked up, and past me, like there was somebody standing behind me, and then I instantly woke from the dream.

I found myself near a school and was on the campus. I was looking at this rock that seem to have written my birthday on it. I got up closer to it because it seem odd and then I notice that the number 6 change in to an 8. That is when I notice that below the rock was the person name in honor. I turn my head and could see a few students coming this way. I decided to begin walking on the side walk passing by them and continue to follow the other departing students. That's when I heard one student call my name from behind me. I turn my head around to see it was a girl in a black hoodie sitting on a bench. I wave my hand and continue to walk on the side walk. On the other side to me I could see other participants taking a test outside. I then had to make a turn to continue walking and then went down another road in till I enter the back entrance of the school. I was still with the other group students that I thought were also leaving. That's when I notice one teacher blocking the next path way to the door. I lean against the door and observe the other students to see what they'll say. Randomly one student decided to go berserk and bash his way through and began panicking. I ask him what was the problem that got him work up? He seem like he was almost going to pass out due to hyperventilating. I can't remember what he exactly said but he did try to assure me that he was alright. We began walking through the hall ways as he stated he never felt more alive right now. He began spinning and doing flips to express his joy. Eventually the dream began to fade and I had a false awakening. I woke up and check my fingers but it was a bit blurry. Since I felt dizzy I figure it must be a dream. That's when I could see around the corners of the room that the dream was breaking down. I turn around and could faintly hear my father voice. A blue spark with yellow lines quickly pass over my eyes and that's when I lost lucidity. Lucidity Time: 5 seconds

SO I remember it starting I was in the water like lake Michigan. It was a really long sandbar and I was swimming/walking in the water. I look around on the ground looking for fish and I see these objects near the bottom I go under water for a moment and I see a shark just resting on the bottom of the lake like 10 ft from me. I’m like oh that’s odd sharks are this close to the beach? So I start going back to shore I see a few more but they are all just chilling. I get out of the water and like am jumping onto trees trying to use vines and branches to swing myself higher going from tree to tree.
I did this for a while and then asked this other guy/bet him he couldn’t get on top of this certain tree. SO he takes the challenge and is like let me parkour first to get into the rhythm I was like oh okay that’s fine. SO he runs and jumps over this metal thing but there was a cop there and didn’t like that so the cop comes after him the dude turns around and throws some gas on them and then uses this like torch thing and sets the cop on fire and starts running. Another cop comes and almost gets burnt to (first guy didn’t get burned his feet did but he stepped into a puddle). Third cop comes up and gets torched and we can smell the burning flesh it was horrible. The guy is like now imploding and we can hear this super loud noise ringing around. Everything is like in slow motion at this point as I’m like slow jumping through the air trying to get out of the range of this blast.

I come back to and I am in a mall that looked familiar from an earlier dream I walk past this lady and their mom and say what is so and so doing here I haven’t seen them in forever….Hmmm I think I’m dreaming… Hmm I think I’m dreaming…(pinch nose and breath in) Yup I’m dreaming. I walk through a door and it’s like an giant open green house like Fredrick Meijer gardens. This Asian lady walks up to me and smiles I she asks do you know me? I say yes, yes I do you are part of me. She smiles and starts walking away. I walk up to table that I see two guys sitting at. I begin to try to talk to them but one of the guy speaks broken English and is speaking in an Asian dialect. He is talking to this other man who is translating for him.
I look at the man and ask him if he can help me learn a different language because I really want to learn Japanese/Korean/ mandarin. (I now am not fully lucid as I started slipping into the dream) I sit at a table with several other people that I know from school when I was younger. One of the people I still see often was not himself. He was younger looking, It was as if he was back in 5th grade, but I know it was him because somebody else even said his name and he responded. I chuckled in my head at how silly this was that I was seeing him at such a young age. There is a guy next to me that has a mustache and looks kind of like jack black. As person is talking to somebody else I go NACHOOOOOOOO… And the person stops talking and looks and says dang it now I’m going to think of nacho libre every time I see that guy.

I wake up and think wow that was cool I had a Lucid dream first on in a while. I sit up and grab my dream journal and began to write down the dreams. I lay back down and sit there just thinking. I feel my awareness come back to me and I open my eyes and then close them again I sit there thinking about my dreams and I realize that last blip I just had didn’t happen I never woke up and I never wrote anything in my journal…..Sadly now my phone is going off and I have to leave for work.


Dream fragments
I am in a camper with several people and we are talking about leaving or going some place.

Im in a kitchen with my mom and grandma and I am eating some chicken noodle soup. The soup is super salt for some reason and while im eating it I notice there is huge chunks of butter in the soup that stil have the wraper on them. ( around 2 sticks of butter after i pulled them out)

I can't remember exactly when or what cause me to get lucid. I walk in to a base ball game stadium, the crowd was extremely large. I began searching for a seat, I found an open spot but it appear the two people seating a side from me, did not approve of my well being here. They told me did I really have to sit here with my poor looking shoes? I look at my shoes and ask were they really that bad? Then a kid seating in a seat above me started defending by saying I could seat anywhere I chose to sit at. Also adding in addition to that having bad shoes does not mean I have to leave. I told the kid not to worry about it and decided to leave my previous seat and chose to sat next him. The kid still look irritated by what just happened but I assured him that not everyone has a flawed perspective. It seem like the baseball game was about to end. But quickly everything turn extremely dark, the sky began to dissipate a long with everyone and everything on the other side. In till the pressure hit us as well, that's when I finally realize once I began starting to have a difficult time to maintain lucidity that one of the voids were nearby. I told the boy it was time for me to leave. I got up and said thanks to him and started running, but then I stop. I ask the boy what was his name? He said Akubro. I yelled as I could see the whole place turning black that I would remember his name and to meet again. I then fled the use to be baseball stadium and was now in a altered movie theater. No one was still around anywhere, the place look great since it was really dark and quiet with techno looking lights. That's when I was surprise to hear Akubro voice yelling to me about waiting up. I told him to hurry and follow me, for some reason this place seem very familiar to me. I knew a way out of here before the void could consume this area. We rain in till we made it completely outside by passing through the last double doors. I turn around and said now that we're out of it, I can finally see what you look like. He was mainly wearing pink clothes and had light post as an antenna. He look around the age of 4-6. We then cross the street and he pointed to this woman wearing a hoodie over her face. Akubro approach her and ask why did she appear timid and shy? I kept walking on the side walk and began hearing music coming from a radio hanging on a building. That's when I felt like waking up so I tried but lost lucidity and entered a false awakening. Lucidity Time: 6 minutes

Last night’s dreams were perfect! I was just hanging out with family and friends at some of my favorite spots, and having a good ole time. None of these dreams were lucid except the false awakening just before my alarm went off. I’ll describe this memorable LD (DILD – Dream Induced Lucid Dream).

I was lying in bed asleep when my wife came and woke me up (in the dream - false awakening). She sat on the bed beside me, to the right. It was morning, because I could see the sunlight around the curtains, and through the bedroom door. There was another woman standing at the foot of my bed doing something by the TV stand. I thought maybe she was one of my wife’s friends. I told her I must look like a weirdo with my CPAP on. She said, “Oh, I didn’t even notice, my husband wears one too.” It was little embarrassing. The woman then walked out of the room, and then my two kids appeared on the bed. My beautiful daughter was lying to the left of me, and my son was sitting beside my feet. I looked at my daughter and said, “Daughter is that you?” She replied, “Hi dad, yeah it’s me!” I became instantly Lucid. I told her I loved her, and she told me she loves me too. I then snuggle her right in close with my right arm (lying on left side). She then said, “You make me feel so loved and _?_?_?” I said, “Daughter you’re whispering, I can’t hear you. What do you say?” I continued to snuggle her, then she said the same thing, but I still couldn’t hear what she said at the end of her sentence because she was whispering. Her whisper became quieter as she got further down the sentence. Her voice was very sincere and loving. I then woke from the dream because my alarm went off. What a perfect way to start the day!
