lucid

Leo and I we're reading books about zietgiest. We were looking at houses to move into. We found a kinda nice one. It was big but kind of old. I was talking to a group of people saying if you don't love your body when you die you die for good. I talk for a while about how I loved my body and how I loved everyone else. I was half naked. The zietgiest books were a little creepy. The covers looked like they were meant to be for Halloween and were animated. I was on the phone with Leo and we were talking about how excited we were to move in. The realtor came in and said this house was only 11k we thought about buying the place. I saw the master bathroom and was freaked out there was something wrong. I knew that the woman who owned the house died in that bathroom. It looked nice, but had weird energy. I looked around and was scared. I saw a messed up kitchen and walked faster. I was lost in the house going in circles. I saw a ghost and screamed on the phone to leo as I ran. The ghost looked like Kara. It would catch up to me and I would scream harder. It was kind of funny in a way because it would make a funny face Kara makes. Kind of like it was trying to be scary in a funny way. It was chasing me but also looked like it was running away. It fell and twisted its head. I laughed and said you idiot now your dead and we both laughed.

I was walking baron and he found another pug the he made friends with on the street. They we're playing for a while when I saw the lady had another dog. It was super black and scary looking. I touched it and it tried to bite me. I was Trying to get baren to leave but the dog would chase us and try to bite us. I woke up in my old apartment and went out of the room. I broke a lamp. Baron kept trying to eat glass and it was pissing me off. I got the vacuum and tried to vacuum it all up. It wouldn't work very well. I had to throw the glass in the garbage.


Everything was weird when I woke up. My table was moved and there was a large truck outside my driveway. I walked to the bathroom and kara was putting on makeup. I went downstairs and Adam was playing with trains and my mom was making dinner. Why is it dark already? I went upstairs and I saw kids stealing shit from the truck. I got my green laser and started shining it at them. They ran away up a hill and I kept trying to get it in their eyes. There was a group of people in my front yard and I hit them with the laser. They stopped and started looking for me. I was hidden behind my curtains and was sure they couldn't see me. They gave up looking and started to leave. I was safe. A knock on my door made me think I wasn't safe. I opened the door and a black looking man with dreadlocks was there. He worked at the gym and had a logo on his shirt. It looked like he was trying to hit me and I was holding his arms down but he was too strong. I tried to be nice and asked him what the problem was. He said I hit him in the eye with the laser and he was pissed. I told him the story and he kind of understood, but told me to never use my lasers again. He knew I had a giant blue one because hes been watching it at night. He knows they are cool and he has one too. I agreed and he left. I quickly ran upstairs to shine it on him as he was leaving. I thought the table looked so weird because it was positioned differently and knew I was dreaming. I was rubbing my hands together for most of this and woke up several times. I went to Kara and asked if she was the real Kara. She kept responding with stupid answers and I quickly knew it wasn't her. I woke. I reentered by saying 1 im dreaming. 2 im dreaming 3 im dreaming until I sort of just knew I was back in. I did nose rcs to confirm im dreaming. It looked 100% vivid, real, and complete. I wanted to have sex so I spend a while looking for a girl. I went outside then inside then upstairs and found a hot girl laying in my bed. I knew if I played I would probably wake up. Also, she wasn't as vivid as everything else. A voice told me its because I created her out of my mind and I have never seen her before so she wouldn't be as strong an image. I left her and woke anyway. I was waiting and then I was back in the dream. This time I went downstairs and tried to make a portal. I couldn't. I've gotten worse at portals for some reason. I tried to get that magnetic feeling in my finger, but nothing. Adam was laughing at me calling me a noob. I gave up and went outside. It looked 100% like my neighborhood. It was sunny out. I made it cloudy for some reason, probably just to try and see if I could. My powers were weak. I woke. I reentered and Leo was there. I wanted to show him how I could shoot a laser and couldn't. I asked if I could borrow some of his power and he gave me some. I was beginning to shoot it and failed again. I woke. I was getting annoyed that I couldn't do shit. I went back outside and ran super speed for a while. That I could do. I woke. Michael was calling me on my phone and I was annoyed because I was trying to DEILD. My phone picked up by itself and Michael was trying to talk to me. I ignored it and went back inside the dream. I fucked around for a little longer and then remembered I wanted my dream guide. I went outside and said I want to find my dream guide. Everything changed I heard a loud noise and was instantly teleported I think to another planet. The shift was weird. Its like reality was washing away to another location. I never left earth before even when I tried. I was so shocked. Everything was red. There wore volcanoes and it all looked hot. The sky was either black or red I can't remember. Looked like something almost prehistoric. I know I've been here before. It was so familiar. It was 100% vivid and I somehow knew my dream guide lives here. I was excited. I woke. I couldn't get back in. I felt the true shift of waking up.
EDIT: I remember jumping around in joy spinning in circles really fast. I remembered that spinning could change a scene so I stopped. Nothing happened.

- Souls or spirits coming to me for help or helping me, and/or trying to take advantage of me or invade me

- Terror, anxiety, and/or rushing

- Tidal waves and tornadoes

- Being stalked with murderous intent

- People and animals from my past

- Spiritual bliss / channeling / meditating / healing / overwhelming beauty and a feeling of my heart opening

-Extraordinarily (somewhat glowing) vibrant colors, especially in nature and spiritual symbols (usually when experiencing that blissful feeling, sometimes when interacting with souls or spirits)

I imagine these will change since I haven’t kept records of a lot of my dreams and these are somewhat based on the dreams that were significant enough to me to remember.

(And hi everyone, I'm new here.)

Fifth Lucid Dream

This makes LDs two nights in a row. Pretty cool.

I went to bed at around 11:00 and got up at 5:45. I wasn't planning on going back sleep, but at 7:45 or so I laid down again for a little power nap. And I had this dream.

It started as a non-lucid dream. I was driving up a hill in my car. I was looking for a graveyard. (I have a friend in Rhode Island who I have been doing some research with involving graveyards in RI. And this had to do with that research.)

As I was driving I suddenly thought, "Wait a minute--how is it that I am acutally in RI ????"

At that point I realized that I was in a dream and that I was now lucid. I remember thinking "Hey, this is getting easier. It doesn't take much to get me lucid these days".
I looked down at my arms and hands holding the steering wheel and noticed I was wearing my red long sleeved shirt.

In all my past LDs, as soon as I find I am lucid I take off flying. But I was in a car this time driving down the road. I was actually curious about what I would do.

I decided to focus on the windshield with the intent to change the scenery outside. The road in front of me become fuzzy and then changed to clouds and sky. I was proud of myself.

I now needed to get out of the car (for some reason opening the door didn't come to mind). I wanted to make the car around me disappear. I focused again on the windshield and made the windshield disappear. That was good enough for me as I now flew straight out into the sky. I noticed it was strange that I couldn't feel the wind or the coolness of the air like in my first two LDs (That's something I have to work on. Flying isn't the same without the wind in your face).

The thought now hits me that it is not the middle of the night for my sleeping self, but somewhere near 8:00. I was afraid someone would disturb me and I would wake up, and I wasn't ready to wake up.

I knew I needed to hurry. I decided that since this dream was originally about finding a graveyard, I wanted to fly to a certain graveyard in RI (EX022). I knew from my first LD that I couldn't fly the traditional way or I would never make it in time. In fact I didn't even know where I was at the moment. I would have to instantly make myself appear there. So I concentrated once more on the sky ahead of me and tried to make it appear as Exeter, Rhode Island. It started to get fuzzy and change.Then I woke up.

I am never ready for these dreams to end.


This dreams gets me excited in several ways.

First, it is the second lucid dream in two nights.

Second, I didn't have to have one of my traditional dreams signs to get me lucid. It happened without a lot of thought.

Third, I was able to remember my goal of trying to learn how to change scenery.

Fourth, I was actually able to do some scenery change. I'm hoping that with practice I can master it. I am getting better, and more confident with this ability.

5-9-06

I had my fourth last night. It wasn't as detailed as the first two, but more like the third. BUt like I have said before any LD means I am making progress.

The lucid part comes near the end of a very involved, very forgotten dream. I do remember that King Kong (yes, here he is again in my dreams) was chasing me. I was at the shore of a lake, and I ran into the water in a cove and tried to hide under the water under a lip on the rocks.

I realized that there was no way I could hold my breath long enough to make this a worthwhile hiding place. And then suddenly it hit me. Yes I could! I had read many people's LD where one of their dream signs was to breathe under water. I took a little breath. It worked. I was in a dream.

King Kong forgotten I flew up out of the water. But where was I? I was in a big dark room again (like LD #2). Instead of board games it was all lit up with black lights. It reminded me of the dark rides at Disneyland, where everything has a flourescent glow. I flew around for a little while inside the big room. I wanted to get outside, but I don't remember a lot of conscious thought like in my first two LD's.

I did remember thinking about other people's LD where they said "Clarity" to sharpen it up. I tried it. But I didn't get much of a change with that.

Then I remember thinking, "I'm going to wake up before anything good happens in this LD." And sure enough, I felt myself wake up. I watched as the room become light, and the flourescent lighting was gone, and I was in just a normal room. Of course, this was a False Awakening, but I didn't realize at the time.


At that point I went on to other non-lucid dreams. Because I didn't wake up, my recall isn't as good on this dream. And that's a good point--my first two LDs seem so clear and vivid. It may be because I woke up immediately after each of those dreams and wrote them down. The third and fourth aren't as clear. Both of those went on to other dreams before I was able to wake up and review the LD in my mind. I'm sure that makes a difference.

I need to try for more of the first kind.

Dream - Lucid - AP

The first dream I had, I'm almost positive I was lucid, but all I remember about it is being in a forest. As soon as I woke up from it, the details were gone.

~

I was with Kacey. I remember being at work at first, and then we were at some marine biology school. That's where she was studying. I went to sit in on one of her classes. My data analysis teacher, Dr. D, was teaching. I thought that was cool that she taught biology and statistics.

I sat down at a desk, and pulled out a bowl of oatmeal. I was eating the oatmeal throughout the class. Dr. D taught and showed us some film clips of marine life. When she showed us the clips, she turned the lights off.

When the class was over, she turned the lights back on. I got up out of my desk, and looked in front of it. There was a huge pile of oatmeal spilled there. And I mean HUGE, there is no way anyone could eat that much oatmeal in one sitting. I commented on it to Kacey, saying that I guess I spilled some. She said
"Yeah, that's why someone asked what that sound was." Apparently, it made a weird noise when it spilled.
I cleaned up the oatmeal, scooping it into a plastic shopping bag. I put the bag in a suitcase, which was lined with plastic. I bundled up the plastic, and threw everything away. I looked back in my suitcase, and the oatmeal was still there. I threw it away.

Then, I remember some guy coming up to talk to me. He looked about 30-35 or so. He was blonde with a mustache, and had a high-pitched voice. He asked if I remembered him, and started talking to me about my dad, and how he had been one of his patients. He said his voice was so high because he had "X syndrome" (fragile X syndrome in waking life). He walked away. I could not for the life of me remember who he was.

I went outside, and the guy was out there smoking a cigarette. Kacey had said something to me about me needing to avoid him or something. He started talking in his high-pitched voice again.

~

I was with some friends, some people that I'm not close with in waking life. We were all apparently close friends though. It was a group of about 5 or 6 of us. We were at a restaurant, Cracker Barrel maybe.

Then, I remember starting to go back in time. I started to experience an alternate past. I was with the same group of friends, and we were at a gay club. It was an actual gay club we have close to town in waking life, but this one was in a different town. I thought about that for a second. It was dark in the room, definitely a club setting. We were all laughing and having a great time. The time setting was either right at the end of or the end of high school. We were sitting at a table with a bench waiting for the drag show to start. I remember a little bit of the drag show. It was kind of movie-esque. I remember thinking to myself at some point
"If I would have done this, I wouldn't be the same person I am now."

Then, I remember it being stormy. It wasn't nighttime anymore. We were in some other building now, and were being herded into a hallway with lots of windows because there was a tornado warning. My old 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. B, was directing us where to go. I remembered seeing other people go into these interior rooms with no windows. I was baffled: Why would my teacher bring us into this room? There were windows everywhere. You could see how dark the sky looked out the windows.

I decided to say something. I asked Mrs. B why we were out in this room when there were so many windows. She said we had to be there. I started to argue with her, yelling about how stupid and unsafe this was. She yelled back. I think there was some physical fighting involved. I knew I was getting in trouble, but I didn't care. I was pissed.

Then, I remember being in a bus, driving away from the area. The sky looked clear, but then I saw a tornado form. It was a smaller tornado, but I saw it pick up a barn. It wasn't too far behind us. I "remembered" when this had happened in my "real life".

~

I was in my room with Ryan. He had apparently moved into my family's house with me. I thought about how awkward that would be, with him staying in my room and my family being there. He came into the room wearing this dark blue button-up shirt with a light blue shirt underneath. His pants were blue plaid pajama pants. We were apparently going out to eat or something, and I didn't have the heart to tell him that his outfit looked bad. He said he really liked that shirt. I thought it looked like a girl's shirt.

I remember there being some big, black grill-type thing in the middle of the room. It was more like a box, that when you opened it, it started to get hot. You could see the hot, glowing metal. You closed it when you wanted it to shut off. I opened it, and there was some wolf in there, but it wasn't a real wolf. It bit my hand and I laughed, because it didn't bite it hard. Apparently the wolf-but-not-wolf was my friend.

I then remember something about my cat, Belle, being caught in there and needing to be let out. I remember seeing her running around my room.

Then, I saw that Ryan had cleavage. It wasn't weird until I woke up.

Lucid = orange

I'm with my friend Sam Harris and one of his friends. His friend wants to take a bus into town but doesn't know how much it costs, so I explain it to him. I then go with Sam to the ticket booth, and the other guy mishes off as he wants to do something before he goes, entrusting getting the ticket with us. Once that's done, we go our separate ways.

Next I'm in a building nearby (I think) with somebody else, in a place which reminds me of a part of college. This guy takes a small girl and drowns her head-first in a sink full of water or something. He's laughing while he does this. Then we hear a loud bellow and somebody is chasing after us (probably her father). The guy disappears and I'm left with the blame, even thinking I had some part in it, racing down the staircase and out of the building as fast as I can, with this frenzied man chasing after me. As soon as I get out, I spot a car, and figure that's the ideal place to hide. I go round the back of it and squeeze underneath, bringing in all my limbs so that he won't see me. It's a success, and he goes past.
Note: I never actually saw this guy, only heard.
The next thing that happened I don't really understand. I became lucid, but at the same time I didn't, I just became in control. I underwent some sort of transition in which the dream became clearer and colours were more vibrant, like something being wiped across my vision, but I already knew I was dreaming before that to an extent, just not fully.
At this point I almost woke up, but managed to keep myself within the dream. I'm now in lying on my back in the car, on my own, being transported somewhere. The scenery outside of the car was strange, similar to what you'd expect to see while travelling through some kind of wormhole (or something of that nature).
Because of what had just happened, I remembered I needed to deepen my state if I was to get anywhere, and proceeded to rub my hands together and note how it felt. Then the dream faded out to black, leaving only a small part of what I had just been seeing, and I could feel myself back in bed. I could still feel my dream hands rubbing together though, so I concentrated on that entirely and managed to bring the scene back to life in its fullness.
The scene then changes to a vastly populated area that looked like some kind of city square.
Note: This is the first time I've seen SO MANY people in a lucid. Usually I see none/a few.
I'm in the 3rd person, with no control over what's happening, being told that I've been sent as a detective to solve the murder of this girl and bring the criminal(s) to justice. Then it zooms back into my body and control is restored. I think to myself ''Well, that's not going to work, since it was me and that other guy.'' and dismiss it entirely, eager to get on with my lucid goals. The first thing I do is recognise that I'm having trouble staying lucid this time, and call for my dream guide. I then waste no time in exploring what's around me. There's a guy in front of me. I ask him if he knows anyone, but he just gives me the 'wtf' look, so I turn around and spot a bench. I bend down and look at it closely, examining fine details, all the while rubbing my hands together and noting how it feels. I also take some time to touch up the bench a bit.
I then hear somebody crying out trying to get my attention. It's a half laugh-half yell kind of thing and then from the right side of me somebody jumps on my shoulders, nearly throwing me back into wakefulness. I manage to hold on, however, and bring myself to, (AGAIN ) and this guy is sitting in front of me on the bench, and sounds very proud of me. I assumed this was my dream guide, although he looked completely different to who I saw last time. I ignored this change and asked him how to get more lucid, since I was experiencing quite a bit of difficulty this time round. He told me ''Right now, you're gonna eat something.'' I turned to the left and spotted an ice-cream stand and ask him if that'll work. He dismissed that idea and told me to find a ''potato chip'' instead, then ran off. Leaving me clueless of where to find one.

After analysing this after waking, I'm now sure this guy wasn't a dream guide. It's quite possible it was the guy who murdered that girl, hence his initial attitude (the loud and proud type. Since we had evaded any form of justice, that makes sense.) and why everything he did only threw me off course.

I was being chased and shot at by a woman with a gun. I realized I was dreaming. I didn't want her to be here, obviously, so I tried to make her disappear. No luck. So I turned a corner, and mentally willed her not to be there when I looked back. She wasn't.
The next thing I remember is looking at a large map on some virtual reality map computer program, except with no computer. My sister said she wanted to go to a country called "Izzy" on the map (maybe in my next LD I'll find that map again and explore further. It'll be my little teleportation device). I decided to test the map to see if I could, in fact, beam down to Izzy. After all, I was dreaming. I found a "zoom in" button and began to zoom in until I was standing in Izzy. At first I thought I saw a burger joint, but it was just a bench with a neon sign advertising french fries. I was in a library, because there were many shelves of books. I decided to explore further (by the way, this part of the dream looked a lot like a 3d game). I saw a plant in its holder on the ground.
I wondered if I should try to fly or something; I didn't want to waste the dream. But it was just as much fun looking around the dreamscape, so I continued my exploration.
I walked toward the exit and saw a woman with spiky black hair. I paused, because she looked so real (maybe she was my DG), and told myself to remember the dream.
I walked outside. I was in a red-brick, large alley. I could see a city street in the distance, and I began running. To make the dream more vivid, I yelled, "Increase vividness!" and nothing happened. I ditched that idea and looked at the overcast sky. I said, "Clouds, go away! Sun, come out!" or at least tried to. I couldn't open my mouth, so I tried again. This time I could say it, but I felt the dream slipping away; the image was becoming grainy. I closed my eyes and yelled, "Stabilize!" I tried to open them and focused on the dreamscape for a moment, but then my real eyes stretched open.

While I was driving to my cousins house, I saw huge ziplock bags of weed everywhere on the street! I was suddenly with my younger boy cousin and he was saying how we should take one. We saw ahead that there were some police cars and hazardous waste signs that taped off the end of the street. I turned my car around and yelled at him to grab one bag. He got out of the car, grabbed a bag and hopped back in. The cops didn't see us so we drove off and went back to his apartment. His sister was home and we told her about the incident.

My younger guy cousin immediately ran into the bathroom, grabbed a handful of the weed and began smoking it rapidly. I told him to calm down but he didn't listen. He started taking handfuls and shoving it in his mouth and eating it. I think he ate half the bag. I looked really ill/sick all of a sudden. He turned really pale and went to go lie down on the bed in the living room. The smoke was still in the air but I didn't inhale it. My girl cousin ran into the bathroom and starting talking about how high her brother was and she unconsciously inhaled the smoke that was still in the air.

After a few minutes my guy cousin started to gag and cough up blood everywhere. It looked like he was searching for the bag of weed but I put it in the bathroom so he couldn't reach it. He smoked way too much so he couldn't really get up but he was still coughing up a lot of blood. Then he started spilling blood from every orifice of his body and I was so scared I didn't know what to do. I decided to confiscate the weed but when I went in the bathroom his sister was in the same state as him but she was functional because she didn't intake as much. It looked like she wanted to kill me and she got up to attack. I was so scared I knew I had to leave but for some reason I felt the urge to gather my belongings before I left. I snatched the remaining bag of weed and was looking for my shoes and keys and my bag. She was walking towards me but really slow. I grabbed my keys and put on my shoes and was going to grab my bag but when I turned around she was right next to me. I screamed and ran out the door. I ran to where I parked my car but she suddenly started running after me, fast. I tried opening my car but you know sometimes when things just don't go as quickly as you want it to or you can't move as fast as you want? Yeah, well that was happening and she was getting closer and I thought I was going to die so I tried to wake myself up by telling myself I need to wake up NOW.. and I did. But only for a brief moment. I fell back asleep and went back into the same dream except this time, I did my reality check thing where I try breathing with my nose and mouth shut, and I became some what lucid. I wasn't 100% lucid because I couldn't control everything as I pleased but I did make her disappear and I spun around in circles and when I stopped I was in my living room.

There was a random man and a woman in my living room and they were crouching over one of my cats. He was opening him with his knife and made a long incision across his stomach. I screamed at him to stop, and that he was killing my cat so he began suturing the cut.
It was as if I was in one level deeper into my dreams because things were really blurred and mixed together. All of a sudden the woman let out my cats and dogs and they were running around. I have 3 cats and 1 dog but there were two extra (a small kitten and a puppy). I have never seen them before but apparently they were mine. She informed me that I forgot about the cat and left her in the cage for the past year and she was almost dead from starvation. She was really skinny and frail and they took her away. The small puppy was really bloated and round. According to the woman I forgot about these two and neglected them all this time. I couldn't believe it because I would never do such a thing but I did. I was holding the puppy in my bedroom while sitting on my bed and I closed my eyes and started to cry. But when I opened them I was suddenly in another place.

In this dream everything is really disconnected. I was at my high school trying to get my schedule from the office in one moment, and frantically searching for my class the next. Then I was in the cafeteria trying to buy some bread but they wouldn't sell it to newcomers. Then I was suddenly talking to my friend on the phone from a hotel room and asked him what he was doing. He said he was going to meet his 4 guy friends and I could come if I felt like it.
I was pulling up my leggings and when I looked around I was standing in the middle of a vast field. It was raining with grey skies. Across the distance I saw the sea but there was a storm. Someone came and was standing near me. I couldn't recognize who or what he was because he was extremely blurry.

I found myself outside a shopping mall with my girl friends. We were all around 12 years old. We were playing a game similar to tag. One person would run and the other had to tag them in a certain amount of time or they lost. I was chasing one of my friends but she was extremely fast and I couldn't catch her at first. But I had more endurance so when she slowed down I barely caught up with her and tagged her. We gathered the remaining winners that were down to three; me, my friend and the friend I tagged. We had to do a three way tag kind of thing.
But before we started I found myself walking alongside the beach coastline. I passed a tree that had my ex first love stuck to it upside down wearing a swim trunk similar to my current boyfriend's swim trunk but his was longer, like pants.

I looked at him and smirked, because I knew I was doing so much better without him.


Then I woke up.

I remember most of my dreams, I'm not sure whether I should think of it as something grateful or unlucky.

I've been practicing the art of lucid dreaming for the past month now. I've been having intense hypnagogia/sleep paralysis because of it. Every time I experience hypnagogia it's always so stressful for me. Before I become hypnagogic I always have a dream that I am just living my daily life when suddenly something goes wrong; For instance: I try turning on the lights in my room but they won't turn on and the room becomes dark, or in worst cases once I saw my brother hanging from the bathroom ceiling with blood everywhere, or suddenly I am talking to my friend and her skin starts melting, or once I opened my closet door and inside was pitch black and I heard some demonic voices yelling at me so I got annoyed and yelled back saying "f*ck you, you're hella annoying" and flipped him off (but then what ever it was got really angry and screamed at me). Anyways, after something goes wrong I go into sleep paralysis/hypnagogia. It gets pretty intense and scary sometimes but now I'm just really annoyed.

I realized after studying about lucid dreaming, dreaming and sleep paralysis, that it is nothing but a dream and now when I have nightmares I am able to control the bad situations and even the unsettling events that occur in my dream before sleep paralysis.
So yeah, if any of you have sleep paralysis/hypnagogia don't be afraid! You are just merely asleep and your mind shut itself off from your voluntary muscles so you don't hurt yourself while you move about in your dream. But you are still able to move your fingers and toes, so if you ever want to wake up just keep wiggling your fingers and toes and your mind will realize that you are conscious and you will wake up. Or try taking deep breaths because doing so will trigger your mind to realize you are not sleeping because your breathing patterns are different from your sleep breathing patterns!

Anyways, on to my first lucid dream..

I've been trying to make a habit of checking whether I was dreaming or not even in reality so that I might habitually do it in my dreams as well. What I do is, I plug my nose and shut my mouth and take a deep breath. Obviously in real life that is not physically possible, but I read somewhere that when you do it in your dreams, you can breathe even though both of your airways are shut. I've read that doing this in your dream state would induce one to become lucid. So after much practice, I had my first lucid dream about 2 weeks ago.

I was standing in the middle of an empty road and I did my reality check and what do you know! I became conscious that I was dreaming! Since it was my first time I became so excited I started telling everyone around me that I was dreaming (apparently this is normal for newbie lucid dreamers). I found it so spectacular that I could finally be lucid. I ran around and went up to random people (for some reason i dream of people I've never met before) and told them I was dreaming and that they were merely made up people in my mind. After calming down (thank goodness I didn't wake up), I walked in front of a white honda civic. I wanted to test my ability to control time. So I exclaimed to the man inside of the car to come out and shoot me with a gun. He looked at me kinda funny and didn't respond. I told him again that I was dreaming and that I needed to test time control so he HAD to come out and shoot me with a gun. He shrugged and came out of the car. I was so excited. He pointed the gun at me and shot.
It was amazing, at first it seemed like the bullet was coming at me at lightning speed, but only for a second. I then managed to slow the bullet down into ultra slow motion. I tried to pinch the bullet in between my fingers but failed. I told him to shoot at me again and the same thing happened. I did it a couple more times but with no success. Kinda bummed out I walked away and thought about what else I should do in my dream. I started to make my own music/beat and had it playing all over the entire city as if the music was coming from the sky! It was a pretty damn good beat too, I told myself to try and remember it when I wake up.
As I was walking down the street listening to my music, I created a cannabis store so I could experiment to see if I could get high in my dream. They had weed with a transparent-like rainbow glow to it. I took a few hits and continued walking down the street. I felt buzzed but not high.
I ran out in the middle of the street (there were no cars) and spun around 3 times to see if I would land in another dimension. Mission failed, and I slowly felt the dream falling apart. I tried focusing on my hands but ended up leaving my current dream.
All of a sudden I was in my bed. Everything was really bright. I did my reality check again and immediately became lucid.
I wanted to see if I could control having sex in my dreams.
I thought of my boyfriend and he appeared but looked different. He seemed much skinner than he is now and he did not seem too happy to see me. He wasn't intimate at all and was being cold and blunt. I was sad at first but realized he was only a projection and just a shade of my real boyfriend.

Then I woke up.

Lucid Dream:

There was a lot building up to this dream. So I will jsut share some of it in note form:

Robert waking me up, taking the car. Daniel writing on the ceiling. Monica and Robert going away. Eating ice cream with Tanya. At preschool with Celia, care gone with purse, camera and cell phone in it. Jeff brought it back.

In fast food place ordering food with Mom, Celia, Jeff and I. I had this one year old baby with me that was talking like she was about 5 years old. The baby couldn't decide what to order, then had to go to the bathroom. I took the baby in the bathroom. I went into a stall. To my surprise the toilet was huge (about the size of a queen bed) and in it was a tiny baby swimming around.


This did not trigger lucidity.


I went to another stall. In that toilet was another baby swimming.


This did not trigger lucidity.


Every toilet in the restroom had a baby in it-- except one that was over flowing with poop and another that had a toilet that didn't quite seem attached and was tilted to the side.


This also did not trigger lucidity.


I saw that there were many mothers standing around in the bathroom. I found out that this group of mothers had brought their babies here so they could practice swimming. I felt angry that they took up all the clean toilets. The baby in my arms was complaining that she really had to go now. I felt frustrated. I told her to go in her diaper since she was wearing one. She didn't want to do that, so I finally held her over the tilted toilet and let her go. The pee ran over the side and onto the floor next to one of the toilets with the babies. I felt it served that mother right to taking up the good toilet. I had to go to. So I also went and my pee ran over onto the floor too.

Then my mom came in the bathroom and needed to go. I told her about the babies. She went over to one of the moms and started talking to her. I stood there and stood there and waited and got bored. So I started doing that thing where I fall backwards until I almost hit the floor then I bounce right back up into standing position.

I did this several times before I really noticed what I was doing. I thought, "Hmmm...this is something that I can only do in dreams. Why can I suddenly do it in real life?" I wondered for a moment. Then I decided that it wouldn't hurt to give flying a try. If this was real life like I thought it was nothing would happen. But if it were a dream then I would be lucid and wouldn't that be grand since it has been so long since I have had a good lucid dream.

I leaned a bit and was suddenly hovering horizonally. I finally was sure I was dreaming so I flew out of the bathoom. I was now in a large room that was set up with tables with food. I flew over a table that had a big plate of chocolate raspberry cake. I grabbed a piece and stuffed it into my mouth and started to fly off again. But it tasted so good I swooped down again and grabbed the whole plate of cake and started shoving in piece after piece into my mouth.

When it was gone I decided that I really needed to do something else really useful with my dream, like fly to the Moon. So I flew outside. I could see a park with dead or dormant trees in it. I flew to the trees. I decided I wanted to experiment and see if I could fly through one of the tree's trunks. But as I flew to the tree I decided to just break off a dead branch instead.


But at that point I was horrified by seeing a man standing in the air in front of me. His skin was tinted green and his black hair came up to points like devil horns. He reached out and grabbed me. I was so started and terrified that I gasped "Go...go....."



Then I had the weirdest briefest false awakening. I had a glimpse of being in a bank. This scary man was just a bank manager. I had fallen aleep at his desk and he was shaking me awake. But at that instant I awoke to me real bed. It took me a moment to understand what I had just gone through.

I think I'll try to post my lucid dream from a few weeks ago. I have it written some where, but I can't find the paper. SO I'll have to do my best.

I remember getting lucid. I no longer remember how. [Shoot. I really wish I had my notes, because I really don't remember much of it now. And let this be a lesson to me about doing a better job at writing down my dream when they are fresh...and not on a loose sheet of paper that I am bound to misplace.]

I remember the second thing I decided to do was to find a guy to kiss. I think I remembered trying to go to the Moon, but I just plain felt lazy. Finding a guy to kiss was much much easier.

I flew down to a guy that I thought was good looking. Next thing I remember is that we are in a car making out. He was a good kisser. I pulled back at one point and took a good look at him. He reminded me of Robert Patterson. I remember thinking how I never found Robert Pattersom that good looking, but today he looked really sexy to me.

And that's all that's left in my memory of this dream.

Lucid dream:


I was standing on the lawn by my grandparents' house and looking at the sky. Over the mountains I could see a beautiful cloud. It was colored like a rainbow (like the picture Moonbean used to have in her sig). I pulled out my camera and tried to take a picture. I was so thrilled that I had my camera with me this time, The last time I had seen a cloud like this I was so frustrated that I had left my camera at home. But as I tired to take a picture I found that the button seemed jammed. I tried again and again. I couldn't believe my poor luck to be standing in front of this gorgeous unusual cloud and not able to take a picture.

Blam. This is a dream.

I started to fly. I remembered that I needed to go to the Moon. I wasn't going to miss another lucid opportunity. I looked up at the sky. I could see the moon shining back at me in the evening sky. I started to fly towards it and quickly realized that I needed to find a quicker way. As I continued to fly I concentrated on forming a portal in front of me so I could fly through it and be on the Moon. But attempt after attempt brought me no result except for a light fuzzy pink patch that I passed right through. Finally I was fed up. I had to get to the Moon now. So with all the determination I had left I decided to just change the sceney and BE on the Moon. Suddenly everything around me started to turn white and grey. I could see hills and craters around me. I landed and took a big jump (this is something I had really wanted to do). My jump took me up slow motion into lunar sky. I noticed an interesting sound that accompanied the jump. I jumped several more times enjoying the odd sense of slow motion and sound. Then I looked over a hill. I saw houses. I went in one of the houses. Inside were two ladies that were cooking. I asked them what they were doing on the Moon. They told me that they were not on the moon. I told them to follow me out of the house and see. They were very surprised to see that their house was now on the Moon. I wondered if I had done something when I had changed the scenery and had somehow taken the houses with me...or taken the moon home to me.

And that's actually all I remember of being on the moon.

I am in a large, paved area (an airport, I think). There are large halls and my room is in one of them. I get a pink, silky shirt from somewhere. I put it on and go to bed. The shirt is a little too tight. Soon I get up, take the shirt off. I check the time. It is 09.00. I get confused, because I thought it was night already. I go hiking to the mountains near the airport with some other people. The next thing I remember is a forest. We are walking on a path. About 10 metres below is an iron plate that I remember from another dream. It shows the landing time of an UFO. We continue past the plate. Soon we come to a TV set. I ask everyone if they are ready. Then I push a button on the TV. An energy field or something like that traps us. An alien appears and I become lucid. I freeze time. And teleport away. I had decided to do the Star Wars task when I went to sleep. I summon a spaceship around me (aren't they x-wings?). I see the death star. I fly there and follow the corridor. I shoot the torpedoes and they hit their goal. When the Death Star explodes, I wonder what it would feel like being in an explosion in a dream. Then I fly back to earth. The scene with the alien changes into a video game. I shoot the alien with a laser gun. When it grabs my brother, I start beating it. Its hp goes down pretty fast. Soon I win it. I shut the game. My brother protests. I am now back in the airport. That's the last thing I remember.

I used a member's advice and tried something called ADA if i remember correctly which should stand for "All day awareness". There has to be some truth to it since i havn't had a lucid in almost 3 weeks, and last night i get one after just briefly trying ADA. It was a very brief dream, and is probably shorter than this informative part here in the beginning but the lucidity is what i was happy about.

Lucidity-5
Vividness-4

I'm driving a car down a road. Everything seems to be normal. It's my car and it feels just like normal. I start to question reality like i sometimes do. A reality check and... I'm lucid. I continue driving along the road. I can't believe it's a lucid dream after my long dry streak. I literally have a hard time believing it for several seconds while i'm driving, but a few reality checks put some perspective on my situation. I immediately decide for some fun. I run into the other lane halfway and make oncoming cars quickly pull off the side of the road. Some crash, but i don't really look. Then the car goes into a 3rd person view that i'm still controlling. I decide to drive around for a while.

Eventually other things happened while i was lucid, but i just can't remember.

Lucidity: 7/10
Vividness: 6/10
Length: ~2 Min.

I was in a white room and a statue was talking to me. A very strange girl started to act like a narrator saying that I was very scared. But then I kept saying to myself "I'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'm not scared" Then the creepy stuff went away and everything was alright.
