The Extraordinary Outdoors (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am in an unfamiliar building, though I've been here before in dreams. It's sort of like a school, of sorts, and it's located in a remote locale up in the mountains. Inside I find myself in a well-lit hallway. The lighting of this place is always a strong white glow, almost like natural sunlight. There are some troublemaker characters here, and they're talking about their reckless lifestyle. I caution them to take life a bit more seriously (though not too seriously). Not certain that I got through to them, I decide to take off for the exit.

I step outside to a forested mountainscape view of unsurpassable beauty. I know I'm dreaming, there is no need for a reality check. I hear some rustling in the foliage nearby and wonder if it's a bear. Not seeing anything I continue along a dirt path through the trees leading away from the academy's main entrance. I consider making a portal (after all, there are things my waking self would like me to do while lucid), but am too caught up in the beauty of this dreamscape to seriously entertain leaving. I've never become lucid here before, and I just want to soak it all up.

I walk further down the path and catch glimpses through the trees of vast valleys and majestic mountains off in the distance. The air up here is so pure, so crisp, so fresh! The sunlight is so clean, so bright and warm! This is definitely a place I need to come to more often. I feel the energy of it. It's vibrating all around me, washing through me, becoming a part of me.

I look at the ground beneath me. The twigs, leaves, specs of dirt and tiny rocks--the detail here quite possibly surpasses that of waking reality. I take a look at my hands--a red flag goes off that this experience is about to end--and instead of stabilizing I decide to just observe. I look at the lines, the shadows, the overall texture. It's incredible. I've had detailed lucids before, but this is just mindblowing.

Reality starts to fade--to dissipate, really. I am sad to see it end, but know that it is time to wake. I slowly reenter consensual reality and find that, indeed, that the hour is getting late.

First part of my sleep I had 2 dreams, one about a videogame which looked like Lara Croft in a Zelda game. It had cool animations concerning the world map. The other dream was about me looking OnePiece with my brother, but can't remember well anymore. Then I had a FA in which I managed to separate my astral arm from the real one, light and sound was coming from the cut of surface. But my body drew the soul back in.

Then I woke up, drank a little water and gone back to sleep, and then it happened.

I had like 15 FAs in a row, don't even know if it was a DEILD chain or only FAs.
The first three FAs were very similar, I was in my bed and trying to get up, but somehow couldn't. My roommate was doing something in our room.
The next one was in my old house, I am with my family. I wander around, talk with my brother, and get lucid. My brother yells out to my Mother in joy "He got lucid, and we didn't even do a thing!" (I am very happy about this, because I am thinking about asking DCs to make me lucid next time). I push my brother away and ask my mother "Do you know where my Traumguide is?" My brother laughs at me because I mixed up german und english here, I correct myself, saying it again with the english term in a german sentence. But I can't get an answer. I wake up in my room again, it was an FA like the first three ones. Then I woke up again in my room, but in another bed. Not my roommate, but DS and FH are in my room on the other beds, and talking about New York again. I look out the window, there is a carussel, rotating really fast, and an old auiantance of mine is in there. I wonder what's going on, then I wake up in my room again. Can't move, but notice that I somehow get hard. Wake up again, my superior is with me, wants to do some manual labor in my room. I get up and think that I don't want this right now, I try to make him disappear and switch him with a beautiful girl, remembering the task of the month. But somehow I can't decide or visualize one. Next I wake up at the beach, in an anime-world, and there's a wet t-shirt contest in the middle of the night.

I suceeded at a long-term goal, 2 LDs in a month!

My brother was gambling online and every time he lost money something in our house would disappear. I told him to stop but then he wouldn't. I started to think about this. This didn't make any sense. I did an RC and I realized I was dreaming.

I started to run up the stairs, but I remembered to stabilize. I went to the wooden pole in our basement and started to feel its texture. Rubbing it and feeling its nooks and crannies. There was a little bubble of paint and I scraped it off. This was the most vivid dream I had had in a while. I went upstairs and saw my friend Sam. I talked to her for a while and realized how pretty she looked. I started to kiss her. It felt awkward like she was holding back. I backed away and she said she just wanted to stay friends. I said ok and told her to follow me. I phased through the window in the front of my house and turned around and saw that she had disappeared. I sighed and started to fly.

It felt like I had rockets in my boot. I had never flown like this before, but I got used to it. I saw Ashley and her mom laying on lawn chairs-easy access. I flew down in front of Ashley and lifted her legs up. I pulled her jeans up until I could see her panties. She was wearing green and white striped granny panties-lol. I started to rub her to try to get her aroused and I woke up.

Lucid Dream 183: Reinforced
Series: Friends, Episode 3
around 5:00am
WILD

Category - WTF


Hmm, so I got wasted drunk and passed and ended up passing out on a friend of mine's couch. I woke up around 4:30am, got a drink of water, and went back to the couch. I went to Netflix and started to watch the newest Spartacus episode when I began to drift. I tried to stay awake and watch, but I kept falling in and out of consciousness. I got up to piss and then when I laid back down, I felt SP setting in. I'm surprised I was able to keep consciousness as tired as I was, but I managed to enter the dream state with only some brief HI/HH. I sat up on the couch and stabilized the blurry room. Spartacus was still on the t.v. I just sat there for a while and watched it. There were several people who aren't actually in the show. Angelina Jolie was one of the Gladiators. Olivia Munn was one of the other slaves. There were a couple more that I no longer remember. Later on that day, I watched the episode in real life. I was impressed with how much of the dialogue actually come through to my dream. After a very brutal fight scene where Angelina cut off the heads of two other gladiators, I decided to resume the quest from my previous LD.

I got up and turned toward the window. I dove head first toward it and just before hitting the glass, I noticed a there was a metal frame on the other side of the glass. It was like a flat, mesh frame. I slammed into the glass and it jarred my entire body. I bounced back a little and fell to the floor. It actually made me a little woozy and didn't exactly hurt, but it certainly didn't feel pleasant. My friend ran downstairs yelling, "WTF are you doing?" I stood and I asked why he had metal windows. He told me they were reinforced for hurricane season. I laughed and said, "Motha f***er! We live in the Appalachian Mountain range! You don't need hurricane shutters!" He replied in a slow, drawn-out, philosophical-like tone, "Better safe....than...sorry." He then turned and got excited that Spartacus was on. I walked over to the front door and opened it. There was a huge metal obstruction in behind the door. I turned to say something to Shawn and noticed that the ceiling fan had been reinforced with steel as well. I looked at Shawn and he is wearing a metal body suit. He noticed the expression on my face and pointed at the t.v. It was the weather channel showing a hurricane coming toward the shore. I looked at the land mass and couldn't tell where it was, but it definitely wasn't the east coast (US). I pointed this out to him and he said "Oh, your right." He then pushed a button on the remote and all of the reinforced steel retracted. I exited the house.

Shawn followed and I explained to him that we were lucid. We then began flying around in the sky. I showed him how high up I could fly. I kept flying higher and higher, until I was in outer space. I looked around and I couldn't see anything, but stars all around me. I looked out into the distance, but could see no end. I noticed something coming toward me. As it approached it got bigger and bigger, until I noticed it was a whale shark. For some reason, I freaked out a bit and dove back down to Earth. Me and Shawn landed in a wooded area and looked around. There was a huge colony of beavers all working around me. One of them looked at me and spoke in a woman's voice, "I have been poisoning your wine." They all seem to be working together to cut down the trees. All of them were wearing hard hats. A tree fell in the background and one of the beavers started shouting, "She is dead!" I walked closer and saw a beaver laying under a tree. One of them looked at me and said, "It must have been the wine!" They all looked pissed and came marching up to me in unison (left foot, right foot, left foot,, etc). There were at least 30 of them. The one in the front began speaking (what I thought was German). The beavers behind started doing the gestapo march. I now noticed that each beaver had a red cloth wrapped around one of their arms. There was a black swastika on each cloth. They stopped in front of me and stood at attention as if they were awaiting my order. I began to feel the dream fade as I laughed and wondered what the f*** was going on. I tried to hold on, but couldn't do it. I awoke.

Series Details
In the dream series, "Friends," I join the DC counterparts of my waking life friends and tackle the dream world. You never know what we will be up to next, but I guarantee it will be one hell of a time. Stay tuned for more entries to the series!

Dream Lucid Me DC Patrik

I was invated to my friends summer cottage. Me and my dad were there. I remember, that I forgot to tell my mom i´m going here. I tell it to my dad and he gets really angry and grabs my throat. I realize it´s a dream, but I can´t get off my dream dads grip. Finaly I manage to escape. (I think I jumped through a window.) I find myself in a park. I remember I wanted to ask Patrik if he´s my dream guide. I call for him and see him at one of the swings. I ask if he´s my DG. "You should be careful with that word." ,he says, "No, but i´m between a dream guide." He doesn´t say between a dream guide and what, but I still understand. I think for a moment, if that is really what he means. "Spirit guide?" ,I say. "Excatly." He jumps out of hes wheelchair and suddenly he´s as long as I am and is wearing glasses. We start walking away, talking about something I can´t recall. We end up on some malls parking lot. He gets some cardboard and starts to cut it with scissors. Then he hands it to me and I cut it in two parts. "So, you really don´t know anything." ,he says. We walk away and I see me playing basketball against Patrik and someone else from third person. I win them and do some winning pose in the air while the dream stops and I wake up.

Lucid Non-Lucid

LD #1- I was getting a ride back home from a friend, i passed the horse stables on the road to my house, and they dropped me off at home. I snuck in the house and crept up the stairs. at the top, i hear my mom saying,"Who is that? are you home now?" she was at the bottom of the stairs, but for some odd reason i was overcome with a sensation of dread, and my feet became rooted to the stairs. then i thought "WTF? why am i so afraid of my mom?" and then it hit me, i was dreaming, and this was my first lucid dream. I was amazed i was dreaming, i knew that people werent lying about becoming lucid, but experiencing it 1st hand verified it beyond a doubt. all thoughts of my mother aside, i wanted to do something worthwile in the dream before i woke up. i wanted to do something i couldnt do in real life, and unfortunantly i rushed it. i looked at my hands, looked at the wall next to me, and charged, jumping into the wall i hit it head first, and it smashed. beyond that were more layers of wall, spaced with about a foot apart in between, and after smashing through about 5 with one leap, i landed on my feet. i was in an old, dark dusty room with the only light coming from a minescule window. it was more of a crawl space that no one knew about since there was no entrance. i looked at the small room made of dark wood and woke up. the entire dream lasted around 15 seconds.

Realization:
I'm at home and there is something about my mom ripping people's info as in she has some info on them(I think it was me actually). We needed to shred them, because I didn't want to get in trouble so I took the black book and knew I had to tell them I took it, so, maybe by write an email?



I'm somehow at the DC. I'm in a building, in a large hall at the entrance of the DC. There are large replicas of some structures, possibly some animals as well, all different colors and there is some info panels near them explaining what they are. I wasn't able to read the text/read it but can't recall. The doors are transparent and I decide to walk through. Some people follow me into the DC. There are only two computer desks dark oak-colored, one in each of the top two corners of the room and a lot of tables in the middle like in a restaurant. The computer on the left had two chairs, some guy asked me about my name, believe his name was Mohammed.



I start telling him when some group of girls walked in and started staring at me. I start to get confused because the room is very different from what I recall. I leave again but return twice only to find more people there the second time. They are all dressed in formal cloth and the second time, there were more of them and they were playing with
a tennis ball. I was afraid that they were gonna break something and almost did. I believe I picked up the stray tennis ball as well. I take my coat and bag and look outside the window.



I see a university sign right outside on the lawn below with a sidewalk facing to the west. How come the DC is in the university now? At this point, it dawned on me that I might be dreaming and I become lucid. Looking at my hands, one had cards in it, the other was invisible. I tried to make my invisibile hand visible and somewhat succeeded. I wanted to make it glow, so, I focused on it and it turned very white. It was transparent so the while glow gave it a nice outline, it looked amazing. I had a J card in my other hand and wanted it to change to Q, so, again, I focused on it, it did. I decided to change location and thought about having the building just disappear. I closed my eyes and woke up!

Thoughts: Had this LD when I took a quick nap for maybe like 5-10 mins way back in August. Finally was able to type it up, pretty interesting that I can still recall a decent portion of it as well

Lucid at Last (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

So I'm at my school again, when something prompts me to RC. Probably the fact that the school is empty. I pinch my nose and go lucid. So I feel extremely happy and satisfied that I'm LDing and stay calm enough that the dream doesn't destabilize. So I decide that my first priority is to clear up the dream. So I start to rub my hands and focus on the dream. It clears up, but I notice that only the things I focus on become super clear, which disappoints me a little. (I had been hearing about how when you focus on a dream it becomes super real) So I decide to test my dream control and make one of the passing DCs give me his gun (???). So suddenly I wake up and fall asleep almost instantly after waking.
I guess I fell asleep fast enough that I retain lucidity. I am in the same area and see what would happen if I jumped down the big ass stairs at my school. I fly down them and wee that the next room was replaced with a room with a banner that says "Welcome, Lucid Dreamer!" I think alriiiiiggggghhhhttt and fly around the room, which it turns out is hosting the Oscars. So the host is talking about who won what award when I fall to the ground and wake up in the same position I fell in.

Dream Lucid Partially lucid

Feb. 24, '11: I was in a car, passenger, I think. An angel was driving a car behind us. The girl in the car with me said the angel didn't like me. There was a big truck beside us, the angel car did something to put us in danger and we almost crashed.
I thought I was ok, but then I realized i was floating above the road and I had died.
I was Buffy (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and also partially George (from Dead Like Me). I saw my body on the road, along with the girl who was in the car with me. I was dead and a ghost. I became very upset and started crying.

I had been working with dead people for a long time. Now I was one.
Then I was in the kitchen, sitting on the counter and washing dirt off my feet in the sink.

Emotionally exhausted, I was led to a room and told I could stay there as long as I wanted/needed to, until I was ready to move on. To the rest of the world, I was dead. The place was like an apartment for ghosts.
There were three other dead people in room next to mine. They had been staying there for many years. I had known them when I was alive, but not when they were alive.
I sat in a chair, with a woman, in her room. She was comforting me.
I became angry at a cat that was bothering me, and I yelled "I'll kill you!" Then I started crying again.
------

I was walking down the driveway, towards my parents' house. At first I though I was just imagining in and now yet asleep. Then I thought I was possibly awake and really there. I asked myself if I had just walked to the mailbox. I couldn't remember, so I concluded that I was dreaming.

I found some small pools of water among green moss and grass. I dipped my hands in the water and lifted some in my cupped hands. I thought about drinking it, but the water wasn't very clean looking.
Then it got cloudy and rather windy. I didn't like it.

I called up to the sky and asked the dream what my spiritual name was. I cupped my palms over my ears to listen, because it was windy and noisy. I heard a voice respond, and I said "thank you" to the sky.

I want to keep the name that the dream gave me private. In the dream, I didn't remember what the name meant, but I knew I had heard it before. After I woke, I had an idea of what it meant and I wasn't sure if I should accept it. Later, looked it up. I was mostly right about what it meant, but there were other things about it that I think makes it OK to use in my dreams.

Then I said, to myself "if this is my dream, who makes the wind and the clouds? A part of myself?" It was getting very dark and windy, like a storm. The sky voice said something I didn't understand.
I was blown away, into the air.
It's like the dream was showing me that it was stronger than me.
I ended up in a room, floating. There was a man who was not solid, who then disappeared.
A hand and arm went through my chest. There was a weird toy or doll hanging from the ceiling.

GOALS:
Godfather TOTY
So I find myself enjoying a nice walk in a park. It's sunny outside(funny, pretty gloomy in real life over here), and it's warm(funny, cold as shit over here, and there couldn't be much more snow). This park is obviously make believe, because we definantly don't have a park this nice where I'm from. Anyway...there's tons of people here. I mean TONS. Damn, this is one famous park. So, I find myself suddenly gazing upon the shiny blue-water pond. There's two ponds. They're separated by a narrowish path. As I stare at the wonderous pond, I suddenly become lucid without my dream signs! Unfortunately, I forgot I had to do the Godfather TOTY. Fail on my part.

So, I decide I'm gonna practice using my powers. I decide I should master speed flight. I've been troubled with that. It's really hard to do. I get in my stance. I see a white brick wall. It's a good distance away. I decide to speed fly there. I let my energy build, I run, get in my stance, and jump. I fail. I'm still flying, but not speed flying. Shit. Oh well. So, I land on the brick wall. I see another one parallel to this one. In between are some groups of teens having a good time. I jump down from the wall. Now I'm on the path between the two ponds. I look over at the second pond. It sure is as beautiful as the first one. What now? I know. I decide to try and master the Kaio-Ken. I get in my stance again. I let my power spike. Suddenly, I'm surrounded by maroon ki. Yes! I'm doing the Kaio-Ken! This means I can have faster speed and stronger attacks. I charge one guy I see. I fly to him like metal to a magnet. I punch him at least twenty times in two seconds. Then, I kick him away. The maroon ki goes away. The Kaio-Ken has subsided. One man rushes me and tries to attack. Time to master another technique. I point two fingers at him. I'm gonna try a Dodan Ray. Suddenly, a yellow beam fires and kills him. Then, another guy charges me from behind. So, I do a one-handed Kamehameha. That kills him. Then, as I try to resume the peace, my Dad awakes me.

Adventures with myself- Lucid-Non Lucid-Comments-Dialogue

Woke up around 8am and decided to wild so I tried to relax in the supine position and waited, I really wanted to become lucidbecause lately my awareness has been non-existent, I don't remember what I used as an anchor but some time later I realised I couldn't move and there was a presence so I didn't panic and tried to grab it but it was out of reach and I didn't want to wake up so I let it be.

Plan B- So instead I visualised moving around my room, then eventually detached from my body and crouched at the foot of my bed feeling the wall against my back, then for some reason I became the presence looking down at myself lying on my bed it was like I moved back in time, because this was my sleep paralysis scene from earlier from different perspective, Anyway the other me woke up, mostly because I was shaking him and for a minute, we started at each other then he did what he/I always do, smiled at me like he was amused ,then he indicated that he was going back to sleep and that I shouldn't disturb him then he rolled onto his side and looked the other way, I stood up and rubbed my hands out of habit even though the environment had stabilised itself and thought of what to do...

'are you my dream guide'?

He stood up and faced me then told me something about dream guides that I don't remember, I think he said something like

'You are your own dream-guide' (insert- some stuff about self control that I wish I could remember)

At some point after the speech I looked away from him and tried to summon my dream-guide maybe because I didn't believe him? In any-case I lost lucidity and my recall is at critical levels so I don't know what happened after that.

I was at school in my history class. My teacher told me if I patted her on the head then I was dreaming. I went up and patted her on the head and realized I was dreaming.I remembered to stabilize the dream and started rubbing my hands together and saying "I am dreaming everything is clear". It didn't work and I woke up.

DELETED

There are some earlier dreams from last night that I only have vague recollections of.

1. I'm at my parent's place, and my ex boyfriend comes over to see my mom. I'm super pissed about it.

2. I'm in some self-serve cafe trying to figure out how everything works. The deserts look really good.

3. My mom has entered me in some pageant for goth kids or something. This is confusing to me as I do not consider myself goth at all. My mom and I argue about it for some time. I get up to use the bathroom. In the mirror, I see that I am myself at 14 years old. Black hair, black lipstick, black eyeshadow and all.
I go back and sit with my mom. I hear them call my name which means it's my turn to go up for the pageant. I don't want to at all. I don't even want to be here. Everyone is watching me as I stand up, and I just start running as fast as I can. I'm out the door, outside, running through the parking lot and into the nearby woods. As I am running I somehow realize that this must be a dream.

Lucid:
I stop on the path I am running on and fall to my knees. I feel dirt and chipped wood of the pathway and it feels just like it should. I look up to see a large stage coach rounding the corner up ahead and coming towards me. I don't feel like dealing with this for some reason, so I hurry off the path and start to spin. When I stop spinning, I find myself at my old elementary school playground. There are kids playing everywhere and it seems to be recess or lunch time. I walk into the playground and it all seems so real. So much so that as I pass a kid, he bumps me and knocks my bag off. Even the sounds are real. Kids yelling and laughing, whistles blowing, seagulls, everything! I see an old teacher that I had when I went to this school. I am surprised she is still here. I walk over and start talking to her. I ask her if she remembers me, and she says that she does. "But, this is a dream, right?" I ask. She nods. I ask her if she ever lucid dreams and she says that she does all the time.

I decide to go in and explore the school. I start to walk around the side of the building, and I notice that the gym door is open. I walk through the gym and it is much as I remembered it, although not quite. A few things were changed. No matter. I continue through the gym and come out the other side by the office. The secretary is young and I do not recognize her at all. I have a sudden mischievous whim and I decide that I am going to piss off the principal. Walking just into the doorway of his office, I see that he is on the phone. He looks up at me, and I make an obscene gesture. "Can I call you back?" he says to the person on the phone. He starts to chase me through the hallways, and I laugh because I know he cannot catch me because I can run as fast as I want. There's a big janitors cart in the hallway and I push it on it's side as I run past, creating a barrier. Then I start to spin again. I want to keep exploring!

After spinning, I end up on a beach somewhere. It's nighttime and it's so dark I can barely see. I am only sure that it's a beach because I can feel the moist sand and hear the waves. This is not as interesting as I had hoped, so I start to spin again.

I have a false awakening, where I spin so hard in the dream that my real body starts to spin too, and I roll out of bed. I get up and start updating my dream journal, only to really wake up shortly after and realize that I had to start all over.

I know I only explored an elementary school, but damn if that wasn't the coolest thing I have experienced in a long time! I think I am finally getting the hang of staying lucid for more than a few seconds!

I've been trying to WILD but unfortunatly it isn't going too well.. But hey-ho! Gotta be patient right This is from after my WILD attempt, which I passed out in.

Awake Non-Lucid Semi-Lucid Lucid

I'm in my room, randomly. I've started to recognise this now. I'm in a dream. I RC to make sure.

Yup, definetly dreaming. I feel oddly hyper, and start to run out of my bedroom door. I catch myself, and remember to stabalise the dream. I quickly run my hands over my walls and take in the details, sniffing in the painty scent.

My door doesn't lead to my hall, but outside. It's sunny, and I feel as though I'm in a different, hot country. Everything is brightly coloured. I see a van, with people serving food out of it, it's very busy. Just outside of the van is a chalkboard saying "Buy your Lucid Tea now!" I smile slightly, this must be because of my WILD attempts.

I sit at a table outside of the van, my hyperness passed. I don't really feel like doing much, just sitting, soaking up the summer sun, smelling hotdogs and watching people pass buy. Maybe I should buy some "lucid tea".

Getting up, I go up to the person serving. "Can I have some tea please? Does it really work?" I ask politely. They may be DCs, but I like manners. The man glares at me.

"You better pay for it, because I have a family to feed and I can't do that when I only have £100 to get me by!" He holds out his hand, and I reach into my jeans pockets and pull out some notes. Not bothing to check them, I just hand them over. In return, he gives me a bowl of muti-coloured liquid.

A passer-by turns to me. "That stuff doesn't really work y'know. They're ripping you off."

I shrug, and take a sip. It tastes like orange and cinnimon tea. I put it down and decide to do something.

I spin, willing a random location. When I stop, I'm in a narrow mainstreet of a town centre. Again, it is sunny and very busy. I walk along. My goals! I remember them. I look towards the sky. Should I fly up and fall? I decide not to. To be honest I'm a little scared. I've flown before, but shiver at the thought of hitting the ground. Go to Lake Hylia? How would I go about that?

I pay little attention to what is around me, wrapped in my thoughts, which causes me to lose lucidity. I fly forwards over the crowds heads, and into a stone chamber. There are people sitting around a little rectangular blue pool, debating something.
