lucid

I've put off writing this down for a long time for some reason. I'm not going to right down everything I remember, just one particular interesting scene.

I'm in a car with a man. We know each other, we went on a mission previously in the dream and have become quite close, though I cannot necessarily agree with his methods or notions. He's just said goodbye to his son, Fang (he's from the book Maximum Ride).

"Poor boy, lost his mother when he was just little." He tells me.

"Too bad, I'm sure she was a nice lady." I reply.

He turns to me.

"I think I'm going to have to kill you." He tell me.

I slightly freak out at this statement, but calm myself down by reassuring myself that I'm armed (I have two holsters on my ankles, one on each, carrying 9 mm pistols).

"Really now, why is that?" I ask him.

"He thinks I like you more than him."

"Really? The kid is only twelve."

"I know, and he looks a lot older doesn't he?"

"Yeah, he does." (even though he was only 12 he looked as though he were 17).

"Do you really think this is necessary?" I ask him.

"Completely." He replies.

I have my eyes on the guns on my ankles, even though we've been through some times together, I'm ready to put a bullet in his chest to defend myself.

"Alright then," I tell him.

"go ahead."

As I begin to reach for my gun, I wake up.

I decide I want to see what happens next so I DEILD.

I'm in a street. It looks as if it's raining or it just rained. I see a car that crashed into a lamp post. There is an electrical wire hanging from it and it looks dangerous. I continue to wonder. I find myself in a field. I start losing lucidity and just aimlessly try to walk across it. A couple of college kids with large cases of beer in their hands bump into me. It seems as if they're in a competition, and are trying to make it to a certain destination before another team. The spill some of their beer on my shirt. Apparently the name of the brand is "Frito". Their objective is to get this slab of meat (which is placed on top of the beer cases) across the field before the other team. Since carrying all those beer cases slow them down, I'm easily able to jog next to them. By the end they figure out that the other team has already made it. They set down their beer and meet and slouch down in defeat.

Suddenly I find myself back in the car. Were at a different destination. We continue our conversation.

"Wait, there's gotta be another way." I tell him.

"Alright maybe not you but for sure your mother has to go."

I start to contemplate the idea.

"I can have a couple of men in there and they can put her down in under a minute, but you would have to cut the phone lines, so they wont be able to call for help."

My conscious is telling me no, but the anger that I have built up against her over the years is telling me another thing. I decide there's no way.

"I'll think about it." I tell him.

He give me another option. He wants me to go inside this dinner party. Were already parked outside.

"Let's go." He tells me.

I point to my ankle pistols.

"Do you want to hang on to these?"

"Hold on to them, your gonna need 'em." He tells me.

I turn off the safeties on my pistols remembering that it might be the reason guns haven't worked for me in past dreams. We get out of the car. I begin contemplating whether I should just shoot him while he isn't looking, but decide not too for what ever reason. We walk inside. I notice for some reason I'm carrying a revolver in my hand. I walk in and no one seems to notice or care. The man (let's call him Jack) tells me to walk into this area. I go by the door and immediately get shot by what appears in hind sight to be a silenced sniper rifle. Jack starts to freak out. I guess they shot me because I was carrying the gun. I kind of just brush it off after a while (it was kind of like when you get shot in call of duty). As jack continues to yell at me in a whisper a man who looks as if he has great importance bum in to us. Jack says that he knows him and quickly ducks behind me. I try to conceal the gun.

"Hi there." I say to him with a smile on my face.

"Enjoying the party I presume?" He asks me.

"Oh it's lovely." I tell him.

"Why thank you very much he tell me." He then walks away.

Jack and I sneak out the front door.

"Well wasn't that a disaster?" He tells me.

"Here get rid of this." I tell him as I hand him the revolver.

He throws it into a bush outside.

"Here get this jacket off."

He takes off my jacket and hangs on to it.

"Go in there, meet someone, then come back to the car."

I do my best to conceal my ankle pistols and walk in with a whole new attitude. Soon after I wake up.

Dream recall's shit today. Went to bed around three times.

Dream1:
My friend Hudson says that if I want to join this club or something that I have to go to the 32nd floor of my building. I go into the elevator and hit 32. It doesn't let me go at first. I then realize I have to press another button labeled HQ, then press 32. I do so and the elevator starts going ridiculously fast upward. The little screen says I'm going passed floors called "gg" and "bb" until I finally reach 32. When I get there the elevator is not completely up level with the door. I say screw it and just go back down.

Dream 2:
My friend Hudson tells me to go into the Vatican with a bunny for some reason. I find out afterward that apparently the Vatican hates bunnies. My friend mocks me for not knowing this afterward.

Dream 3:
Me and my friends were in Egypt. The protests and riots are still going on. This guy comes over to us and starts complaining to us or something. We just kind of ignore him and go into the subway, and boom were back home. I'm in the subway station. I bump into my buddy Kevin. He's like "hey what's up". Then this girl comes up to us and apparently she knows him.

"who's this?" I ask.

"this is Claire" he tells me.

She introduces herself. She has short black hair and appears to be middle eastern. After the three of us talk for a while the trains on both sides come. Kevin and Claire are going on the west train and I'm going on the east. We wave goodbye to each other. After a little while I get off at my stop, and Kevin's there!

"Kevin! How'd you get here? I saw you take the other train."

We both get on the north train.

He tells me that when Claire got off at her stop, he climbed onto the top of the train and ran back.

"wow that's amazing!" I told him.

"yeah I even called some helicopters to get it on tape."

Right on cue two helicopters with cameras attached to them came zooming past the train. They then docked on some garages or something. The train finally stopped. Apparently I'm going to a lucid dreaming school or something like that. After I say goodbye to Kevin, I head to the school. It's really small and only like 20 people are there. I do some stuff there for a while and then, I wake up, realizing the irony of my situation. The dream seemed to have lasted 2 days but when I checked the clock I'd been asleep for no longer than a couple of hours.

Dream 4:
I'm In front of a two story building, it looks kind of like a hotel. There's a rope hanging down from a railing on the second floor. I decide to climb it up to the second floor. On my way up for some reason I hear two hot chicks having sex behind me, but I know I mustn't look. When I get near the top some woman there looks at me, thinking I must be crazy. I finally reach the top, with pride. I then see a stairway that I could have easily taken up instead. I start to walk down and then bump into kevin.

"projection Kevin!" I think to myself.

I grab him.

"is this a dream?" I ask him with some fury in my voice.

I know with no doubt that it is but I want to here it from him. He starts acting strangely, sporadic, nothing like the real Kevin, almost as if he's possessed. I can't remember what he said, but after a while I woke up.

Dream 5:
Everything is fine and good. I'm in my apartment on my computer, and then I see a zombie outside on my window, clawing at the window. I run to by balcony and close the door and lock it. I tell my dad to do the same in my grandma's room. A little bit before this dream I acquired an ability to shoot microwaves out of my hands by plugging some cord into my hand, so I plug in and charge up. I remember telling my dad:

"You see, I told you we should've improved our arsenal. Now there's a zombie apocalypse going on outside and we have no weapons!"

I also remember afterward telling him something along the lines of: "this is the kind of stuff that happens in dreams! But we're not dreaming now are we?" (how ironic). Afterward I woke up.

Dream Lucid Me DC

I was sitting in a car with my mother and were already lucid. My mom asked someone to drive us somewhere and a living doll appeared (The kind you see in horror movies.) and sat to the drivers seat. It stared at me. "Um... hi?" ,I said. It turned around and started to drive the car. "I bet i´m still lucid when we reach our destination." ,I said to my mom. "You´re on!" ,she said. Once we arrived and stepped out of the car, (Where´s my money?) I saw that there were some kids playing floorball. (Or something.) Suddenly I found myself holding two of my left arms fingers on my right hand and stretching them away from eachother. This caused my skin to move with the fingers, leaving an skinless, perfectly round area on the center of my hand. But instead of blood and other stuff, I saw some white, glowing matter in my hand. I closed the hole and opened it again. This time the white matter was replaced by some black goo, kinda like tar. It spread around my hand and started to climb up my arm. (Well, my arm was in horizontal position, so it didn´t really "climb", but you know what I mean.) I made most of it go back to my hand, but little bit of it still continued climbing. I lowered my arm and it slided back down. Then I closed the hole. Suddenly I was in my house. I saw an mirror, and decided it would be time to try to get to the Crossroads. I tried walking into it, but it just resulted in me hitting my head into it. Then I tried jumping. I took some speed and jumped head first against it. You can probably quess the result. I gave up and flew through a wall. (Oh, so walls let me through with ease. Whats there so different about walls/roofs/floors and mirrors?) I flew for a while and saw Dorothy and the others from The wizard of Oz and tried to take her slippers to complete part of the task of the year. But as soon as I did this, they attacked me. (Maybe I should try "please" next time?) I tried to fly away, but one of them kept grabbing my foot, no matter how high I flew. I wake up.

I find myself in a large house. Me and some other girl are trying to have a shared dream. So, we lie down in two separate beds. I set my iPod on my iHome. I go my binaural beat app on my iPod. I play the sounds aloud and we try to go to sleep. Then, the girl's parents turn on the lights and start making a lot of noise. I get really pissed off. I tell her parents that we're trying to have a shared dream and we need silence with all lights off. Her parents agree to my terms. They turn all the lights off and shut up. Now we attempt again. Then, I have a false awakening. Only, I end up at a giant castle rather than my bedroom. Why am I here? I see I'm right at the exit of the castle. I walk out and see a HUGE lake. The lake must've been two hundred feet deep! I see my little brother in a swim suit. He's got glossier on and he's in a small section cut off for little kids to swim in. He comes out and puts his regular clothes on. He lies down next to the lake. I tell him to go inside and dry off. He doesn't listen. I get mad at him. Then, he purposely jumps in the lake.
"NO!" I shout. I dive in to go after him. I must be insane. I can't swim! Amazingly, I'm holding my breath easily and swimming like Michael Phelps! I'm not gonna make in time! I punch myself in the head wishing it's all a dream, then, I become lucid without dream signs! I instantly speed up and get my brother. I swim him to shore and do CPR. I save him. Then, I see an army coming! Then, the army from the castle comes out an waits. The other army's big muscular leader waits with his army at the castle door. This looks like a negotiations meet between them. The princess comes out of the castle. They greet. Then, she points at me. The muscle guy looks at my too. They know who I am?! They talk about how the full moon gives me power. I see the moon is out. I ask what's so special about the moon. I look at it. They shit their pants in fright. I shrug my shoulders. Then, my heart rate increases. Then I transform into a giant werewolf. They're all scared. Then, I do a running smash into them. Then, my alarm awakes me.

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

[I had four different dreams last night.]

[Dream #1] I'm at the apartment building where I lived in Japan. There are several different landlords who own parts of the building, which is reflected in the fact that different parts of the facade have different designs. [Of course, this was not the case in real life.] Inside the building, though, instead of many small apartments, there is one big, open space crisscrossed by wooden support beams. A few other people my own age are in the building. Several of the wooden beams are arranged in a tall pyramid shape, supporting a large heating/air conditioning unit at the apex of the pyramid. This pyramid collapses and the unit crashes to the floor. At first, I think it's killed the young man who appeared to be standing directly under it, but then I see that he's okay, just scratched up a bit.

One of the other people in this large, open space is President Obama. I follow him up into an enclosed hallway and eavesdrop on a phone conversation he's having with his wife. From the conversation, I gather that he's going to pay for repairs to the damaged support structure and HVAC unit.

[Dream #2] I'm riding on Ellen's Energy Adventure in Epcot. The ride vehicles move up to get to the room with the screens for the film portion of the attraction; I can feel the vehicle moving upward. We get to that room, and the film begins. The film starts out on only one screen, then widens to fill the wraparound screens on either side of it as well, but there are no curtains that pull back to reveal the additional screens. [There were curtains when I went on this ride in reality back in 2000, but according to an article I just read recently, they're not working anymore.] The film contains lots of exciting action sequences, punctuated and made more immersive and realistic by air jets built into the backs of the seats. The seats also have lap bars; I can feel mine. At some point during the film, it dawns on me that I'm dreaming. When the film ends, I exit the ride along with everyone else. As I walk along my row of seats, I say to the guy walking in front of me, “Hey! You're a dream character!” Again, I don't get his attention at all. I continue walking through the passageways that lead out of the building. They're very dark; I make sure to pay close attention to the people and the edges of walls that I can see by the few dim lights, because I know that if I don't, the dream will fade. As I walk, I sing a song aloud, which was my lucid goal for the night. [I don't recall now which song it was, but I have the vague impression that it was a current country song, one I know well, sung by a male singer.] It doesn't even occur to me to do anything other than go along with the dream scenario; this is a ride at Epcot, so of course I'm going to go along with it and enjoy the experience.

There's a bottleneck along the exit route that slows down the flow of foot traffic. This makes me go, “Huh? What's going on?” Then I see what's causing the bottleneck: Suspended by individual cords from a track on the ceiling are multiple pairs of 3D glasses with polarized lenses, with no earpieces, so you have to hold them up to your eyes. Each cord is attached to a little wheel inside the track, so you can move the 3D glasses back and forth along the track. This passageway is filled with painted, Star-Wars-themed scenery, and when you look through the glasses, the scenery looks 3D. I take a pair of glasses and walk with them the rest of the way out of the building. I say aloud, “Oh my God! Rope-Trak!” [While in the dream, I remembered a dream I had when I was a kid that featured a very similar system, only with harnesses attached to the ends of the cords instead of the 3D glasses. In that dream, the purpose of the system was to make sure everyone at a museum followed the same path through the exhibits. I named this system “Rope-Trak” after the fact, when I was awake and used the dream as inspiration for a school project.] I'm surprised and pleased to see this concept reappear in another dream.

I reach the outside of the building. This outdoor space looks very much like I remember it, and I can see everything clearly in the natural light. However, the sky is overcast and cloudy, and it's either raining or just about to; a hurricane is coming in. The dream ended here.

[Dream #3] I'm at my high school, just outside the gymnasium, looking south. Apparently, just being there is enough to make me realize I'm dreaming. It's nighttime, and the quad is filled with students. I decide to fly; it takes me two tries to take off. My first try turns into a big, parabolic jump. The second time, I succeed in getting airborne. To help launch myself forward, I kick off the wall of the gym with my foot, as one might kick off the wall of a pool while swimming. Among the crowd, I see the B. brothers again as I pass overhead. I think, They didn't go to my high school. I fly higher and see that the school is surrounded on two sides by ocean, which makes me go, “Huh?”

[Dream #4] I'm riding in the back seat of the brown car down a street in my old city. It's nighttime. I know where I am because I recognize the trees and landscaping on either side of the car. Looking out my window, I see a white car flying along, above and to the left of our car. This clues me in that I'm still dreaming. I wonder if I can make this car fly. Almost as soon as I've decided to try to do so, I find myself sitting in the driver's seat, alone in the car. I immediately realize that I'm now alone and driving the car, rather than riding in the back seat while someone else drove, because I had wanted/expected to be the driver. My dream control is improving. Cool.

The car is still going down the street at the same speed it was before. I make the same effort of will I used in my previous dream to fly on my own, only this time, I try to focus my will on the car rather than on my own body. As before, I concentrate on the thought of the object of focus rising up, on how that should feel. It takes noticeably more effort, but it works. I get the car into the air. However, I find that it's now traveling backward, and I can't get it to go forward. Looking out the front windshield and over the landscape, I notice that the moon is low on the horizon ahead of me and to the left, looks normal, and is full. Then the dream faded and I woke up.

Meeting Dreamer (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in some sort of fighting tournament. The tournament was playoff based, with only one fight per round. All the DC I saw were random and appeared very strong. Also, there was a female DC.
It was my turn to fight and I entered the arena, I was a little afraid but I had to embrace. The battle ended pretty fast making me a victor. It was also my turn to fight again and I felt I did not rest from the previous fight. I was walking around the resting area a little worried. The resting area was made like a Colosseum. The walls and the floors were made of big squares of dark gray stones and some dirt. I had to fight a huge guy, but for some reason, I saw a book in the battle arena. I opened the book and realized it was that guy's Akashic Records. I started to mess up with them until he went bananas and defeated himself.

I exited the area waiting for quarter finals. I had to face this female DC and she told me, "Do not even thing in messing up my Akashic Records. I am a psychic and if you try, you will get confused and defeating you will be easy."

While I was planning what to do, I asked to myself, "What the hell I am doing in a battle arena? I do not fight! I am a spiritual person, not a fighter. I turned lucid and wondered where the that weird dream came from.

I exited the Colosseum and saw a dirt road. I decided to fly to make my dream stable. The sky was very blue, not even one cloud. I could feel the warmth from the sun on my face. I felt great. Dreamer came to my mind and the warm feeling arrived. I saw mountains on my way and flew faster, hopping to find Dreamer.

The mountains were very high but I could fly over them. I landed in a green and beautiful field. The field was surrounded by mountains and the sky was still very blue. The ground, was all dark green grass. I saw Dreamer meditating in the middle of the field. I flew towards her and I sat in front of her. I had a very intense warm feeling, bigger than ever and I was very happy. All I wanted to do was to stay with Dreamer. She opened her eyes and she hugged me. I felt joy. The dream started to fade and I really wanted to stay more time with Dreamer. I started to move my eyes and the dream quality increased.

Dreamer told me, "I am very happy to see you. I feel very connected with you. It is so great we are dreaming of each other all the time." I realized that due our time zone, she was not dreaming yet, so I figured she might have been thinking about me or a piece of her consciousness traveled to my dream. Dreamer did not act nor had the same energy as a regular DC.

Dreamer decided to lie down in the grass. I also did. We were looking at each other eyes. It was a continuous, permanent and without distraction eye contact. I knew I was going to ruin my REM, but I did not care. It was the perfect moment. Dreamer and I were looking into each other's eyes and after a while, the dream started to fade. I allowed it to end and woke up with a perfect image of Dreamer face, eyes and smile.

I was riding in the back of a car looking out the opposite window of where I was sitting, and I saw a huge wolf looking in right at me. I was so scared at this sight that I became lucid in the process of coping with the fear. I then proceeded to close my eyes, imagine changing the wolf into something else, and reopen my eyes. The head of the wolf started to take on the form on an old bearded man and all the color in the dream reverse (kind of like the negative of a photograph). I felt myself coming out of the dream, so I tried a technique I had heard of to keep a dream going.. I shut my eyes and spun my dream body and reopened my eyes. I didn't end up in a new landscape like I pictured I would. Rather I ended up in a geometric world full of lines and shapes that seemed to be caving in on itself and the color was still negative. I awoke soon after, the dream couldn't have lasted more than a minute or two, but it was very cool to actually be able to harness some powers in my dream state that are impossible to achieve in real life like changing the form of another creature and jumping to a new place without tradition means of transportation.

This was the first lucid dream I've ever had:

So I was in another dream, and I awoke into my bed and remembered to think "next time I'm dreaming, I'll realize I'm dreaming." Then I was floating in pure whiteness and said that thought out loud to myself. Instantly upon doing so I was hit with a full body rush similar to intense shivers and tingling throughout all my extremities and I burst through the clouds and began my descent down towards the ground, fully lucid. Not having any previous flying experience I decided to experiment how exactly flying is done. I would describe the sensation to swimming, where treading with your arms will direct you in the path you want to go. This was the happiest I have ever been as i felt the wind whipping through my hair and could see the ground rushing underneath me.

Then I saw a large pack of wild animals, some wolfs, deer, moose, and others all charging in a heard below me. I stuck both hand out in front of my face and directed the momentum and path of the herd to my exact liking and laughed out loud while doing so (I've never felt so empowered and free in my life). I continued to fly after the herd had disappeared out of sight and flew up just about a tree line. There I saw a random telephone pole and perched right on top, out of breath. I remember thinking to myself, "gee, I've never free fallen before.." and then I put my arms straight out to the side and fell backwards off the telephone pole all the way down to my bed where I awoke THRILLED at what I had just achieved. I would classify this as a life changing dream/event.

On two separate occasions in my dream tonight she kissed me. I can vividly remember her face and her pretty blonde hair during the whole time, which is unsual for my dreams. Not going into names on the off chance that somebody I know reads this. It was a thoroughly enjoyable dream. At one point during the second part I actually realized I was dreaming for just a moment, because I realized it was too good to be true. Some reality check. I was actually upset to go lucid and let myself fall back into normal dreaming. The first time it happened we had been playing some game and the place we were in turned into a locker block where it was just her and I. We flirted for a bit and it finally happened.

Second was in the elevator after we had gone to the gym with a group of people. I remember the walk back but that pales in comparison to the way she was all over me in the elevator, crazy about me. I remember not being able to get my lips wet enough for a good kiss though. This is because my mouth often dries out while I'm sleeping. This may have been the sign that made me realize I was dreaming.

Dream Lucid Partially lucid

Feb. 10, '11: I was driving my car on the highway, going to work. I did not have very good control over the car. (a common dream sign) I blacked out for a few seconds and realized I had been in an accident. We pulled over. someone was hurt and had to go to the hospital. Another man was angry.
I was very upset. N arrived and I told her what happened. I told her that I was going to work, even though I don't work there anymore. I thought I had woken up from a dream, thinking I had to go to work, like I was still in the dream state of mind after waking up. So I thought I was confusing dream and waking reality. This is another example of a dream screwing with my mind.

Then I was in my parents' house, in the kitchen. Finally it occurred to me that I could be dreaming. I was too caught up in the moment earlier to think of it. I pinched my nose and breathed through it, confirming that I was dreaming.
My parents were there and I slapped them in the face (playfully?).
I talked to Anna and told her that I never really knew her very well.

2-10-11: I got inside of a Warthog from Halo and I was supposed to be on a rescue mission. I put a very miniature bookshelf in the back seat. I had to find artifacts of power before I could rescue the person. I sighed and started the vehicle and drove down the muddy path. I looked at the sky and it was very dark and cloudy. Something appeared and I started shooting at it. It was a very strange looking bird. It looked like a Moa, but with a larger beak. More appeared and I kept shooting and kept driving and looked to the right. I seemed to be on top of a mountain, there was a valley below, and all of the leaves on the trees had very dark green leaves. There soon was a hill and upon going down it more of the moa came and I kept shooting them and running them over. I saw the person I was supposed to rescue then all of a sudden it reset and I was back at the beginning of the mission. I looked at my map and there were little red dots of where the artifacts were at. I drove down the same path. This time there were no moa and soon I drove up to a house and got out. I walked through the door and down to the basement to look for the artifact, and I found it. It was an opal heart with a pearl in the center. I picked it up and put it in the miniature bookshelf and started walking back up the stairs then I heard a noise. I went back and checked the corner. A plastic container lid came off of the container and I studied it for a moment and put it back on and started walking back up the steps again and I heard the same noise. I checked it out again and the same thing happened. Then for some reason I came to the conclusion that the house was haunted and I ran up the stairs, forgetting the mini bookshelf and when I got to the door it felt like something pushed me and panicking I ran outside and shut the door. I looked back and saw the door starting to open and I began to use some energy to make the door close then I realized I was dreaming. I yelled that I was dreaming and suddenly remembered to use all five senses to make the dream more vivid and better lucidity. I looked around then smelled the air. I smelled nothing and then I made it smell like a pine forest. I heard a couple walking by and I ran over to them and poked them and for taste I bit one of the people’s arms. Then I ran off and thought of my lucid goals, which one of them was to have shared dreaming. So I saw a wall and said “An image will appear and I will be in D’s dream.” I ran towards the wall as an image appeared and ran through. All I saw was blackness and all of a sudden I stood up and my vision cleared. I was standing in a dark department store and people from my school were looking for things and I somehow pinpointed his position and kept walking. I came to a small hallway and he was on his computer and I yelled to him. “Hey, D!” He looked around confused and got up and started walking, looking around.
“Who is that!?” He asked unsure.
“It’s T! What’s wrong?”
He looked around. “I can’t see you.”
I placed my hand on the wall and forced energy through me to make me visible. He looked at my surprised. Suddenly my vision started failing. “Oh crap! Hey, I’m waking up! I gotta go, see ya!” Then for some reason I had a false awakening then woke up right after that.

---Non-dream---Dream---Lucid---

The dream apparently started in my backyard. Three or four people were standing next to the tree there, and most of them were holding a gun. I approached them, and fortunately they didn't shoot at me. Suddenly one of them fell over, and I picked up his pistol and loaded it. As soon as he got up, I pointed the gun at his head and shot him. He fell to the ground. The other people began walking toward me in a threatening manner. I loaded the pistol and shot two of them, leaving only one to go. It was a girl with what looked more like a Nerf gun that a real one. She just casually walked past me toward a swing set in the yard. I pointed my gun at her, but the trigger did nothing. She grinned evilly at me, and put my ammo (I had no idea how she'd gotten it) into her gun. Suddenly I became lucid and stood up to her. She began shooting these rectangles at me, but they did nothing, even when they hit me dead-on. I loudly declared, "I'm lucid! No matter what you try, you can't harm me!" My opponent disappeared a moment later.

The lucid dream continued from here, but I don't want to post the whole thing. There are some things in my dreams that I just don't want people to know about. However, I will say that during this lucid dream, I completed the Basic ToTM for February; a record of that is posted in the corresponding thread.

I am at an indoor pool, semi lucid because I've never seen this pool before, I swim for awhile, then get out to dry off.

I spot Raven Knight in the pool, and call out to her. I go over and sit with my feet in the water at the edge of the pool, and ask her something about dreaming. unfortunately, I don't remember what it was, nor her response.

non dream - dream - lucid - semi-lucid - false-awakening

Last night I decided I should give my effords a break, because the night before I was unable to sleep (not a dream, I can assure you that wasn't a dream) and slept only 2 houres in the end, and because I had a very big dry spell and thought I was just trying too hard. But guess what happened? The night I decided to stop trying for a while I actually had a lucid! so here it is:

I am at school, everything seems normal so far, but I decide to do a reality check, I try the nose-pinch RC and it turns out I'm dreaming! I am surprised, but don't get overexcited like the last time. I decide to try the finger through hand RC, just to see what it looks like. My finger bends and it hurts like hell, I am surprised that it hurts so much, even though I know I am dreaming. Than I get an idea, even though I know my DCs aren't real, I want to scare them, and what better way to scare a bunch of DCs than comitting dream-suicide (also I wondered what it felt like to die in a dream...)? So I decide to jump from the staircase, because it's higher in my dream than in reality. Before I jump I do a final RC, I breath a few times through a pinched nose and try the finger through hand RC again, with the same result as before. I also stare at my hands to see what they look like and to stay stable. I jump, and hit the ground, it doesn't hurt but it feels really strange and then everything went black and blurry and I wake up. I'm now sitting on the long bench we eat on at school sometimes, and I am sittig next to two guys from my class.I still have a little bit of an idea what is going on, and do some weird dream-control stuff. Than one of the boys asks me to do something, and I say I can't, because the DC of the guy I was going to do it to was too weak/blurry. Then my English techer walks in, and someone (might have been me) asks him what his patronus looks like (:-|) and he says red and like a jellyfish or something simular to a jellyfish. I think this is a weird situation and realise that I get FULLY lucid.I think of what I could do next and forget to stabelise myself. I wake up with some sort of a weird euforic awesome feeling, and whisper 'Wow, I just had a lucid...'. Then I am considering writing it down. I first decide not to do it, because I was taking a break. But I then realise it's a shame to forget this expirience and write it down.

Dream Lucid Me DC

Dream 1
I´m sitting on top of an very, very tall tower located in the middle of jungle. The roof is really narrow and if I move even a little bit, I will probably fall to my death. I was left there to throw something at someone to slow them down, but I was told there´s only one person who has actually managed to do this. There´s a door under me, but it´s, well, under me and somehow thinking about the 200 metre vertical fall which will occur if I move a single inch just doesn´t make me want to try to open it. (And that, kids, is called irony.) I´m really scared. (For obvious reasons.) Then I start to became more optimistic. (Hey, at least it´s not raining...) They didn´t left me here to die. They´re probably coming back to get me at some point. Right? Then I start to think about how did I get here. Can´t remember coming out of bed, brushing my teeth and getting thrown on some random tower in the middle of nowhere. This must be a dream. The dream starts to fade away. Damn.

Dream 2
I either had an FA or then the dream just changed. I do the nose check and it works. I´m in my house. My mom is doing something on the kitchen table and my sister is playing with the computer. Nothing unusual. I talk with them for a while. Later there´s some woman I don´t know, saying she should probably leave. I look outside. It´s so dark, someone must´ve painted our windows black. I think of going out and start to find a weapon to hit things with. Can´t find or summon one. Plus the dream starts to fade again. I wake up.
