lucid

1st of February
So yeah this night i had my 2nd lucid dream (its even the day after my first prober LD experience)
The lucid dream was induced by a false awakening. i woke up (in the dream) and made a reality check. I bacame lucid:


Im aware that im dreaming and im still lying in my bed. I feel like im lying there really comfy and didnt really want to get outta bed. I thought by myself that this is a lucid dream and i should take advantage of it. I stand up and i walk towards the window. Its all blurry outside so i take a really good look at my hands. At first they are blurry but after a few seconds it gets clear but my fingers are still very strange. Anywho.. Somehow somthing tells me that i have to catch this guy called ''Flandrich'' or something like that. I look out the window once again and there he is - running away from my house. Since i could feel the dream wasnt stabalized very well and i would wake up anywho i took a shot and tryed to make a kammehammeha. I looked at my hands and notthing happened.. i tryed again and really focused on it. A little tiny blue ball apeared in my hands and slowly grew into a handball sized sphere. I charged it and fired it towards ''Flandrich''. There was a big blue ligning but not a 'real' kammehammeha.

Then the dream faded away

I dreamed that I was accessing an on-line website .... try to include my identity number but instead found my ex-fiance's (who was murdered in 1998) id number with a password....then i woke up as i pressed the enter button.....

really hope the dream will continue so that i can try to find out what it means. the numbers 0,2,22,7 was very prominent.

Plans: Open the door of Avalon by creating a paradox? Go to a future instance of me and borrow her instance of the key to Avalon. Use that key to unlock Avalon, then use Avalon to find the present instance of the key which I am supposed to have. Once I have my own instance of the key back, I return the future instance of the key to the future instance of me, thus minimizing the effect of the paradox. Then I can use Avalon to find out about the guy that has been around Asuka, seeming to attack her, or complete whatever task Avalon sends me to do. Now if I can just remember these dreams...

The Key to Avalon
I am in my room looking for a missing cord, I need that cord in order to fix my iPod Touch, which has taken a serious crap. I am looking at the iPod, thinking how it may look retarded once I fix it, but at least it will work again, which is my main concern. I dig through a couple of drawers, throwing stuff everywhere, but I can't find the cord. I wonder if I can buy the cord alone… I don't think so… shit! I am thinking about where it could be when Q comes in and looks at the mess I have scattered around the room. He says it's a good thing I haven't done this in my waking bedroom or I'd have a lot of work just to clear off the bed. I say I need to fix my iPod, completely ignoring his statement involving waking life. He says my iPod is fine, but we have something to do. He leads me into another room that I don't recognize, and over to a full sized mirror. I look into the mirror and see my reflection, though it doesn't look like a perfect reflection of me. Q urges me forward, through the mirror… which ripples like water as I pass through… and then I am on the other side.

The other side of the mirror looks like an altered version of my house, though it isn't an exact reverse as one might expect in a world through a mirror. There is another instance of me standing there and looking at me with only slight interest, she smiles and says she already knows what I need. I ask how she would know that, she says she had to do it in her own turn, silly. And as such, another instance of me will visit me in the future, she will be looking for the same thing, and I will have to lend it to her. She reaches under her shirt and pulls out a golden chain with a key on the end of it. She hesitates for just a moment before unfastening the chain and handing me the key.

She says that technically this key will make Avalon open to where she needs to be… but since she needs her key back, that means she needs me to find my key.. so what we both need is the same thing. So take the key and return with it swiftly, good luck. Q says he is no longer needed here, and he is needed elsewhere, so he will also wish me good luck… and then he disappears. I am now standing there with the other instance of myself, I wonder if there is some particular reason why Q didn't take me to where I need to use the key…

Somewhere during all of this time I have become somewhat lucid at least, so I know I can open a portal, and I do so, focusing on getting back to the Halls of Avalon. The portal opens and I go through it into the same dimly lit blue halls I recognize from my last visit.

I walk down the hall again for a while, the woman I remember from my last visit is there again, welcoming me to the halls of Avalon, choose a path and uncover my destiny. That sounds a bit weird to me, but I continue down the hall, going straight just like I did in the previous dream so I can get to the same locked door as I did last time. The man I spoke with earlier appeared there and asked if I intended to blast the door down this time… um… no. I have a key. Fantastic, so go ahead and use it, then. I take the gold key out and slid it into the lock, and the lock turned with ease. The lock clicks and the door swings open. The man says that wasn't my key, was it? I say no, it's another instance of the key from another instance of me. He asks if I actually figured that out on my own, I am giving him a dirty look, then he says he was just kidding around with me, go ahead through the door, it's open, after all. I go through the door and it closes behind me. As soon as it closes behind me I hear the sound of a lock closing, and when I turn around, the door has completely disappeared.

I am in a forest, a tropical looking forest, and it is full of the most vibrant and bright colors I have ever seen. The woman I saw earlier appears from nowhere, stepping from behind a tree and smiling at me. She motions around the forest and says it has come to her attention that I have never traveled via Avalon by actually visiting the island itself. I'm not sure what to say about that… She says there are many exits from Avalon, but all of them will lead me to somewhere I need to be. She says to journey down a river, dive into a pool, or just take a boat out into the oceans around Avalon and I will find a distant land where I need to be. I focus on what I need to find and look at a river that is flowing nearby. The woman says it is best to not try to dictate where Avalon takes me, because sometimes I need to be somewhere I do not realize I need to be. I tell her I need to find my instance of the key to Avalon, she says that Avalon knows this, and if that is the most important need I have right now, I will be taken to the right place. I tell her ok, I will try to let things take their own course. I go over to the river and find some small boats there, I launch one of the wooden boats into the river and ride it for a while into a cave. Everything around me gets dark, I feel disoriented, and then I find I am in a new place.

I am in a park now, I look around and I see a man there, he has long hair and is looking in the opposite direction, I wonder who he is… I approach him and look more closely at him, he is eyeballing a key just like the key I am now wearing around my neck, he has my key to Avalon! I am looking at him, I say that's my key, he looks over at me and looks very surprised to see me. I tell him to give me back my key, he says he doesn't know how I managed to find him, but it's too bad it would do me no good. He uses the key and unlocks a door in empty space, goes through it, and is gone. I use my key again… I wind up back on the island… use the pool, swimming to the bottom, and then I find myself in a bedroom of some kind, the man is standing by the window looking outside. I decide not to announce myself this time, so I go quietly over to him. I epic fail at picking the key off of him, he says he could always go to where I need to be and just kill everyone there if I want that. He unlocks the window, and jumps out. I remember he is going where I need to be, so why would I need to be in this bedroom… I use my key and end up at the island again. I wonder if that's how it will always be, it seems a bit annoying to have to do that. I head out over the ocean, I'm flying now, and I fly over what looks like open ocean but I fly into darkness…

Now I find I am in a village that looks like an RPG type town, there are people making their way around everywhere, and strangely enough, no one seems to have noticed my appearance or thought it was weird. I look around to see where I am and to see if the man is around somewhere, but I don't see him… then he appears right in front of me. Before he can even react I reach out and grab the key from his hand, the key that he is still holding out in front of him, and, "Yoink!" Yoink?! The man turns and sees me with the key in my hand, he seems surprised that I somehow got there before him. I look around the town and see a door to a shop that is closed, I focus on it being a portal back to my inner world… and when I open it, I come through to my own bedroom, then I close the door behind me. Q is waiting for me there, he sees I have a key in my hand. I notice that my key is quite a bit different than the key I borrowed.

It isn't as fancy, but it is every bit as shiny and gold. I put my instance of the key around my neck on a gold chain I must have summoned from nowhere. He says to return the other key, then that's done. I should be able to get my dreaming back to normal. I follow Q back to the mirror and through it, to where I find the other instance of myself. She is once again not surprised to see me, she is smiling. She said she knew I could do it. I return her instance of the key to Avalon to her, and then I wake up.

Welcome to my world. Here you will read things that will make you smile, laugh, cringe, fist pump the air, ask yourself what the fuck you just read, and generally leave you wondering how this could come out of a sane person's mind , lol. I have had a lot of experience with lucid dreaming and have made my way back to the site after a 8 month hiatus. Check out my signature for all my old journal entries. I will start out by transporting many of them here (the significant ones & my favorites). Hope I can entertain you all as you take a trip into my mind. Peace! Stay High!

Lucid Dream 1: The Master of Dreams
around 3:00am
DILD

Category - Exploration

For some reason I was having false awakenings all night. With each false awakening I forgot the previous dream, but then it finally happened. The first part of the dream I remember is that I was a video game designer and I was creating a role playing game (RPG). After a few short moments the scene changed and I was in a Hotel at the beach with a couple of friends.

I noticed the hotel was the one from my game and I knew I could alter the elements around me (I'm not Lucid yet, but close) I pulled out a palm pilot and began placing monster in the hotel. I set up 2 poisonous plants in the lobby, but I didn't tell my friends what I was doing I just told them to run as the plants grew out of the floor. As we were running I used a palm pilot to create Skeletons with pirate swords chasing after us. We ran outside and down to the beach, where I stopped and said to myself, "I wonder if I can control them and make them play a game of touch football with us." (I'm still not Lucid. I didn't think I was dreaming I just thought the palm pilot controlled the skeletons). So we began all playing touch football.

I can't remember many details of the game, but I know my team won and we were celebrating, when it happened! I jumped in the air to celebrate and performed a back flip. After landing I thought, "Wait a minute. I can't do a backflip!" So I tried it again, but with no success. I then attempted to fly. I tried to hover but it didn't work. I even tried the invisible ladder technique, but it didn't work either. I was about to lose hope when I remembered I had just played a game of football with skeletons.

I was Lucid. I wasn't sure what to do so I ran at superhuman speed up the road. I badly wanted to run up a mountain and jump off like I had read about on this site, but for some reason I couldn't get enough speed to do it. Instead I decided to run into a nearby house. It was like 4:00am dreamtime and everyone in the house was asleep. I thought about waking them up and scaring them, but I decided not to. I paused and tried to think of what to do when I came up with an awsome idea. I wanted to fly to Japan and compete in ninja warrior. I had to get out of that house first though. I was looking for a way out when I started to feel like I was about to wake up, so I started spinning in circles and to my astonishment IT WORKED!!! I just sat there for a while in amazement that I could remember things from the real world here in the dream world. After running through the house for a bit, I saw that every window was a stained glass with paintings of angels on them. I must have lost some Lucidty as I started to worry if I could even get out of the house, then I remembered I was dreaming so I just jumped into them and they popped out completely intact. It made a loud noise and it woke up the residents. I hid on the roof and watched as they walked outside. I saw a large shadow come up behind them and then out of the shadow came a large three headed dog and a man who resembled Merlin. The great beast walked toward the three people. Each head devoured a person and Merlin raised his staff and summoned me towards him. I couldn't control my body it just floated toward him. After landing I attempted to fight him, but as i swung my fist, he punched my fist with his fist and caused me to collapse. I thought he was gonna kill me but instead he told me to follow him. While following him, he explained the world of Lucid dreams and told me I would soon use dreams as my playground. I came to the realization that this guy is the most powerful Lucid Dreamer alive, He was the master of dreams. (Anyone else have a character in their dreams who is all powerful? I found this to be weird in my dream. I suppose I just lost some Lucidity)

He took me to a cook-out of all places. It was a cookout for Lucid Dreamers in a clearing, with a pond, surrounded by woods. I saw a guy hovering around and I asked him why I couldn't fly. He said "You can't fly yet? You must be new." We talked for a while, but I can't remember what we said. He then told me to focus on a branch that was hanging over the water and pull myself to it with my mind. It worked the first time. So I kept doing it. My accuracy wasn't very good though I kept missing the branches and falling into the pond lol. I had trouble with long distances as well. I came to the conclusion that flying is hard, so I decided to ask Merlin to teach me. When I began to wake up. I tried to hold on, but I was so excited to write this in a journal that I kind of just let myself wake up. I'm so excited this worked and even though I couldn't fly yet I plan on mastering that tonight or whenever I have my next Lucid dream.

My thirtieth lucid dream, my control was terrible and the dream was a bit foggy and also I'm writing this about two days later. Anyways I won't write this in my normal format all I remember was I tried to summon lightning from the sky to blow up a car (Infamous inspired) but that didn't work so I explored this amusement park for a while and did some parkour stuff

non dream - lucid - non lucid

After writing down my last dream I go to the toilet and then back to bed.
I'm still super tired but decide to attempt a WILD.
I fall asleep somewhere along the way.

"Hyu?"

Darkness. Where am I?

"Hyu!"
"What? Where am I?"

I'm confused, and talk to this weird voice some more until I notice my eyes are closed.
I open them.
My vision is blurry, I can't feel my senses.

"What are you doing?"
"Yuya?"
"Yes?!"
"Err..."

Suddenly I feel a splash of water, which "wakes me up"
My senses work now and I can see much more clearly.

"Thanks... that helped."
"I hope so, because we're in a bit of trouble."
"Why's that?"
"Someone is pissed that we destroyed his crystal I assume."

I try to focus and check my surroundings, where I am and what just happened.
I'm in yet another world, there is snow again... I hate snow, it's a good thing I don't feel the cold due to my energy.
But it looks completely different from where I was in my last dream.

"Well, shouldn't we bugger off?"
"Can't open a portal, the area is protected by some sort of spell."

I want to summon the wings on my arm to teleport us away, but I'm interrupted by a red portal forming in front of us.
A person wearing a black suit, MIB style is exiting the portal and closing it behind him.

"Ooh, cute little Yuya."
"Fuck you!"

Well... it seems she doesn't like him.
I probe his aura. It's dark, and very strong. Yuya is on her guard, he must be strong indeed.
I try to focus even more on my surroundings, if a battle takes place I need maximum clarity.

"Who's this fellow? You have a boytoy now?"
"Shut up!"

He smiles.

"This is going to hurt!"

He forms a big fireball over his head and launches it at Yuya quickly.

"Shit!"

My body reacts without control. I instinctively short range teleport right in front of Yuya and aim my right hand at the fireball just before impact.
I'm completely powered up without knowing how. The fireball hits and I simply absorb most of the energy and it stops, I'm practically holding it in my hand.
It's hot, but it doesn't hurt me.

"WHAT THE FUCK????
Nobody shall stop my balls of fire! I am **** *** *****, demon of ****!!!" (I forgot the name)

"And I am Hyunkell fucking Anassasi, Dragon!"

i reply as I launch the fireball back at him with some added energy of my own with a strange sensation of power.
It sets him on fire and it takes him a second to put it out.
I feel an immense amount of energy coming from Yuya right behind me, what is she doing?
It feels like she's preparing some sort of spell.

"WHAT THE FUCK!"
"Don't you play video games? attacking a dragon with fire? retard!"
"All real dragons are fucking dead! They've been extinct for years!"

I plan on launching a fireball of my own at him but I am interrupted by Yuya.

"Fucking piece of shit, show me what you got!"

She's angry... she's furious, she really hates him.

He draws fire between his hands, trying to create an even bigger fireball than before.
But I've noticed what Yuya has done, and there is no need to intervene.
He doesn't stand a chance... none whatsoever.

Yuya just turned a whole fucking lake, which was rather close by, into a huge Leviathan which is going to ram our opponent any second now.
I looks strangely beautiful.

He looks up at his fireball, and sees the absolutely massive Leviathan rushing towards him. All hope of life leaves his eyes.
The Leviathan crushes him, and fills the air with humidity.
She's completely overdone it, I can tell that she went all out.
The clarity of the dream greatly decreases as the humidity turns into fog.

"Thanks Hyu! He caught me off guard."
"Glad I could help... so... what's the deal with him?"
"He tried to hurt you in your dreams before."
"Is he a dreamer?"
"No. He's a demon... or rather, he used to be..."

I've never seen Yuya this angry.
The dream ends.

Dream
Lucid

At the moment I was a superman look-a-like except instead of red and blue my costume was Black and dark blue and I was getting shot at by some random people. And just like superman all the bullets were bouncing of me like nothing. So i started jumping and running just to get closer to who ever was shooting me but could never get close enough. So slowly but surely the dream started to fade and the last thing i saw was a bullet hit my cheek and it broke into a million pieces. Then i had a FA so i "woke up" in my bed in the FA and the first thing i though of was is this an FA? So look at my digital clock on my counter and its 3:59am so i look away and look back and it said 4:32 so then i laided down and closed my eyes and plugged my nose I COULD BREATH!. So i calmly said im lucid dreaming but as i was opening my eyes they felt extremely heavy so i said " dream be clear now" and my eyes opend a little more so then i said it again and so i could finally see. I got up and when out my room to my front door and out side i was going to practice flying whe this random car came drifting right infront of me. This gay came out and he was all like " AYE neighbor whats up !" i was like your not my neighbor i dont even know you. He was like "oh well my name is wancho and im your new neighbor so yea have a good night" and he just left and went into his apartment. And i was about to practice flying when my dog got out of my house and i was like "Bronnie get back inside" so i went upstairs and put him inside. When i got inside my house i saw the kitchen light on and i was "what?" and the thats when i woke up like at 4:10am.
Me when i woke up: YAY i LD'd; Damn!didnt get to do my goal! let me try lucid dreaming again.

But instead i dreamed my self back into the same superman dream doing the same thing!

Vividness-9
Lucid -YES

non dream - lucid - non lucid

Went to bed early because I was tired as hell, I didn't get enough sleep the past few days.

I'm in the classroom I'm taking most of my current exams in.
An exam is currently in progress, my Game Design teacher is there and I have a paper with exam questions in front of me.
I study the questions, I have to write 3 concept papers given a few basic ideas within 3 hours.
That's cutting it very short, I'm a bit scared I may not be able to finish this in time.
I let my mind wander, trying to find some inspiration about a massive multiplayer game, where the players take the role of fruits.
Making such an idea work really requires a lot of creativity.

I have trouble coming up with any ideas which is unusual, I decide to take a one minute mental break.
I play with my pen saying with my inner voice: "This is a dream"
This gets me thinking, which set of rules currently applies, which world am I in?
The answer I come up with surprises me a bit. I'm in the dream world.

I'm surprised how easy it was to come to this conclusion.
I stand up. My teacher looks at me surprised.

"What's up?"

I grow my wings out of my left arm. I have a specific goal: visit Yuya.
I'm happy that I quickly remembered this goal.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I may have to bugger off"
"Excuse me?"

I lock on to Yuya's aura and prepare to teleport.
The wings start glowing in rainbow colors.

"I've taken this exam a few days ago!"
"Oh.... right..."

I teleport.
This is the first time I don't black out during a teleport or by traveling through a portal.
Even though the teleport lasts only a split second, I can feel how I travel through the fabric of space.
It feels like there is a near infinite amount of entities all over the universe, I can feel so many aura's!
It's a very good feeling.

I'm on Teraluna, hovering a few centimeters over the ground.
Yuya is standing right in front of me, waiting.
I stop hovering and drop onto my feet, the wings disappear.
Yuya is wearing a different outfit than usual. She's wearing something much more comfortable, something you have an easy time fighting in.
She immediately jumps me, giving me a big hug.

"Heeeey!"
"Hey, I missed you!"

As we hug I remember how I got into a deeper dreaming state last time.
I already closed my eyes for the hug, so I try to concentrate on my other senses.
They become clearer, but I don't have anything to eat.
I let go of Yuya and open my eyes. I don't think I'll ever get used to it, it's as overwhelming as it was the first time.
I'm confident I managed to anchor myself in the dream world.

"Let's go!"
"Where to?"
"I promised you an adventure, didn't I?"
"Yes!"

She forms a portal behind her, without making any gestures. She takes me by my hand and drags me in.
I form a protective layer over my skin because the tunnel we're traveling through causes a lot of vibrations.
No wonder I blacked out the last time, this is not a very comfortable way to travel.
We get ejected from the other end of the portal, into a different world.
I barely manage not to fall onto my ass yet again, I don't like portals.

What a crazy world! It is made mostly out of sand and stone, but everything looks very clean.
As my vision becomes sharper I notice the beautiful sky.
There are many close moons and even a planet visible in the sky.

"You better prepare yourself, we're not welcome here."

I change my energy into my dragon form and power up. I feel ridiculously powerful, with a slight urge to set stuff on fire.

"That's better!"
"Why are we not welcome here?"
"Can't you feel the dark energy surrounding this place? It's everywhere. This world is full of demons
I'm curious as to why that is."

She's right, as I widen my sense of presence I can feel many dark aura's. I'll try to remember that they are easy to distinguish from other entities.
I'm excited.

"Let's head to where the energy is strongest then?"

I suddenly notice it's snowing. I'm not wearing a shirt or shoes, yet I'm not cold at all.
My own energy is keeping me hot. Yuya doesn't seem to feel the cold either.
I feel a dark presence approaching over a close by bridge, I look at it.
It seems to be a big samurai, wearing many layers of worn down and broken cloth and a typical samurai hat covering his face.
He's drawing his katana and approaches me carefully.
Yuya takes a step back.

"Don't be afraid... you have all the weapons you need." (I don't even notice the Sucker Punch reference)

I focus on the inevitable combat, I'm ready.
He charges, but I am so focused on him I have an easy time slowly dodging his attack.
It doesn't feel like time slowed down, more like my brain is working much faster.
As he cuts past me I punch him in his side, and release some energy whilst doing so.
He shatters into a thousand pieces, it seems he was made out of wood.

"A wooden samurai?"
"Someone must have summoned them, they don't have a free will. Let's head for the tower"

I see the tower on the other side of the bridge, the dark energy is strong there.
As we run over the bridge I take on a few more wooden samurai. Yuya doesn't intervene.
Even though they don't pose a challenge, I start getting a better feel of my energy, how much I need to release in order to do a certain amount of damage.

We stand in front of the tower and a huuuuge stone golem is summoned right in front of us.
It's at least 100 meters tall, full of dark energy.

"Errrr.... Yuya?"
"Yes?"
"What yes? giant golem???"
"So?"

He starts approaching us, every step he takes causes massive vibrations in the ground.

"What do I do?"
"Kill it?"
"Like what, punch it? are you kidding me?"

She positions herself between the golem and myself, facing me and thus turning her back towards the golem.

"A punch didn't kill the samurai."
"No... my energy did, but this thing is huge... how do I?...."

The golem is now very close.
Yuya creates a bubble of water in one of her hands still looking at me, she really doesn't seem to care about the golem.
She compresses the water into a very tiny bubble and holds her hand towards the golem.
She shoots a high pressure water beam out of her hand, cleanly cutting the golem in two.
Both pieces fall to the ground. This is absolutely ridiculous.

"Are you kidding me?"

She chuckles. Exactly how strong is she?

"Yeah, I may have overdone that one a bit"

But she thought I could take on the golem? How strong am I?

I feel a dark presence behind me and turn around.
The bridge is filled with at least 100 samurai.
They simultaneously draw their katanas.
I want to take them on, but it's too many to kill them one by one.

A punch didn't kill the samurai...
I point my right hand towards the samurai. I can't do a water beam, but I must know some way to project my energy.
I power up, the dragon tattoo becomes hot. The samurai charge.
But it's alright, I remember now, one of the dragon techniques.
I release my energy as two tunnels towards the enemies, a big one and a small one inside.
I turn the inside one clockwise and the outer one counter-clockwise, grabbing onto space as they turn.
The release of energy vibrates strongly through my body, I feel the fire wings on my back and the tattoo very clearly now.
All the samurai are crushed into pieces instantly and their remains whirl around until I stop my spell.

I turn towards Yuya, extremely proud of what I just did.

"Did you see that???"

She starts laughing highly amused.

"Seen you do bigger ones than that."

I finally begin to understand how things work, how to release energy, what amount of energy to release.
I'm very excited.

"Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"I think someone is trying to contact you?"

I try to listen, but there is nothing.
Then I notice that she didn't mean a typical voice, rather a telepathic one.
Yes, I can feel it, but I can't understand what he or she says.

"I can't understand it."
"It's weak, seems to be from another plane."
"Plane? like, dream plane?"
"Yes. There are many different planes. It's hard to communicate across planes if they are far away from each other"

I try to communicate back.

"I can't hear you properly. I'm Hyu, who are you?"

After a small pause I can hear what I think is a name, but it is too unclear to understand.
I think it is a female voice, I think she's a dreamer.

(I can recall the rest of the dream only vaguely)
After the failed communication attempt we enter the tower.
There is some more fighting and we find some sort of dark energy crystal inside the tower responsible for summoning the monsters.
Yuya destroys it.

Notes:
I feel like I'm getting better at remembering details and conversations which is awesome.
I woke up at the end of this dream, at about 6am (went to bed at 2am).
I immediately transcribed the dream after waking up because I was afraid I'd forget if I went back to sleep.

Dream Lucid

January 31, '11: I slept for around 6 hours, stayed awake for 20-30 minutes, and then laid on my back, focusing on my breathing and ignoring any other thoughts. It took a while, but I eventually felt tingly vibrations.
I opened my eyes slightly and looked at the clock. But I couldn't have physically done that because I was facing the wrong way and I had on a blindfold (homemade sleep mask).

I felt myself switch from my physical body to my dream body. I moved my arm and then got up. My vision was not very good. It was dark and faded. I rubbed my hands together. Then I removed a pair of glasses I was wearing and everything was suddenly clear.

I rubbed my hands together again to stabilize the dream, focusing on the sensation. (I forgot that I wanted to examine my hands to stabilize, rather than my usual hand rubbing method.)

I was in a large cabin-like building, full of stuff. It reminded me of the pixel dream world I made on my computer, but in realistic 3D form.
I felt light. I floated into the air and did flips and pushed myself from the walls. I floated up to a big wooden light fixture thing. It was like a chandelier, but weird shaped. I don't remember exactly what shape it was. I made it fall and it broke on the floor.
I floated up higher and I saw into an attic storage space. There was an old stuffed rhino doll that I grabbed.
There was also a large fireplace behind a glass wall.

Then I remembered what I wanted to do. I tried to stretch my arm to reach something far away. My thumb and forefinger stretched and picked up my ghost lamp, and brought it closer to me.
I tried to stretch my arms, but it didn't work.
At some point I also pushed my left hand finger through my right hand palm, not as a reality check, but just because I've never done it before.

I was hungry (my physically body really was hungry) so I went to the fridge. I ate three slices of old pizza and then ate a bunch of other things, wrappers and all. Then I woke up.

While trying to re-enter a dream, I had a short dream-like thing. Someone was instructing me to climb through a small hole, or passage and told me to focus my awareness as I did.

Today's dream was totally weird. I WILDed this one because it seems like WILDing works better for me. I tend to not become conscious of my dreams that happen at night which really frustrates me. Anyways, today I became I think semi-lucid and woke up in my dorm room in my dream. Immediately, I got out of bed and then saw one of my ex-girlfriends and her best friend laying in my bed. It was weird because I can't stand my ex-girlfriend AND her best friend. After moments of awkward silence my first crush appeared. She is the one girl I've always wanted to have sex with and date but she moved away. Every now and then we talk about getting together but it never happens. Anyways, she was right there in front of me. I remember I was lucid because my whole body felt like I had taken ecstasy or something, which always happens when I become lucid. I faced her and she giggled and then I began to kiss her. I was SO happy I can't even describe the feeling. I am kissing her and I close my eyes and then open them back up and my current girlfriend had replaced her and it scared the shit out of me. I began to push her away and ask where Taylor was and she was reaching out trying to pull me back in. I then ran out into the hallway and started to fly like Superman away as fast as I could. I've been thinking about cheating for a while but maybe that a sign to not..

I was walking up some type of hill that seemed to be shaded purple. I immediately realized this was from a video game and became lucid. I was feeling like a sex LD, so i summoned 2 really hot chicks and we went into a nearby house. I'll let you fill in the details I abruptly woke up in the middle of it and was kind of disappointed, but oh well.



I was standing in what i think was our church basement. The dream seemed to be in the third person view and i saw myself as about 12 years old sitting at a table across from the girl. She wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to me. I can't remember what it said but somehow it got me lucid! I quickly jumped up and ran around the table, but, being stupid, forgot to stabalize the dream and it quickly faded. Damn, another wasted dream.



I was in the hull of some sort of ship and there was a great storm going on outside. I walked near the window and coud see huge waves hitting the boat. I ran up on deck but the waves were coming over the railing. I dashed into the big tower thingy that the captain is in (don't know what it's called) and i looked out the window. Then, suddenly, I woke up.

Hi Guys.
I just started to write my DreamJournal right now because i experienced something completely new this night.
I think actually it has been my next step in lucid dreaming...
Last week i got a quite similiar experience!
So lets start:
Iam reading much about Wild and all the other methods of achieving Lucidity .
Since then ive been starting to concentrate on my state of mind and to repeat the sentence " Am i dreaming right now?" as soon as iam trying to sleep
I mean as soon as iam trying to lucid dream!
The dream started at a huge Soccer Hall. The game which has been played is a combination of soccer and volleyball.
I was going to participate at this game. After a while running around and living this at some parts more or less obvious dream...
I came into a second dream. You have to know that this first dream had been very long and that I somehow ( even that I didnt write my DreamJournal the last few weeks) remembered incredible much. In general i remembered four dreams. Two of them lucid.
Because i havent been lucid in this first dream iam gonna skip further information.
The second dream began when i was driving in a car with 2 friends through a dark forest.
After some time driving a guy occured on the left side of the street.
A small axe was sticking in his body and he was looking quite badly hurt.
I told my friend that he should hit the gas pedal and "fuckin" drive away!
"This is insane!" i said and watched the event happen.
He said that he would like to see what happened and help this guy.
he slowed down and this guy came closer.
After some seconds he almost reached our car.
By coming closer we recognized that something has to be wrong with this fella...
and it looked like he must be a zombie or something similiar.
The driver now startet to get intimidated but it was to late...
The guy reached the car and stopped it somehow!
His skin turned green and he grew immense some moments later.
I started to feel strong fear!
He opened the door with the intension to get to us.
He was not speaking nothing just breathing and coming closer!
In this moment i realized that this cant be real and that i must be dreaming.
I thought " Dont fear anything - its your world your rules your dream".
Accept the fact and just let this moment happen!
By realizing this great truth he touched me and probably killed me and i would have been waking up.
Fact is that my mind state of awareness changed this completely.
I moved into one of those beeings and now knew that i was dreaming.
I changed myself into a human beeing again and started to walk down the road.
I watched my Hands and tried to feel the whole Dimension around me telling myself that iam dreaming and that
i should keep cool all the time - just realx! dont get stressed! dont lose your control!
So i kept moving and now i started to look around me to identify the obstacles and buildings around me.
I noticed that they were build from my memories.
In germany we got this one shop called Edeka but in my dream it has been called edeko...
Just an example for the little tiny differences to the "Reallity".
I tried to fly - like i always do and it worked quite well at the beginning.
Like usually after soem moments my old problem occured that i had to start to swim to fly... I dont like that Boundary but ive got to break through the next days!
So now i thought about creating the reallity around me and came down to the ground.
I thought about a huge mountain with rocks and a great landscape.
I saw how this reality started to rise up around me.
It was awesome!
Somehow without any of my creative intension water began to fill the area around me.
So much water that i was not able to keep standing where ive been.
I got to jump up on a rock not to get into the water.
I thought "hey dude - this is your dream keep the water away!"
but it was impossible. Hitting this rock with my hands created a really bad pain and i was wondering about it cause it has been in my dream and i was conscious about it.
Finally before the water reached me i jumped up to fly away.
Like i told you before it didnt work... so i "swam" some metres up in the air and fell down into the water.
Shortly before hitting the water i realized that i should wake up by falling there. Like i always did in my dream experience before.
So this time i kept lucid and conscoius and hit the water.
Instead of waking up i entered a new dream starting in a Bathroom in a bathtube arising out of the water.
It started quite similiar to this last dream cause i was pretty scared and i got the same fear based feeling in the beginning.
After some thoughts i got me fearless again and stepped out.It was completely dark and i left the room.
There i met a good female friend of mine and we started to have sex ^^ - i was lucid and horny so ... iam not sorry for that.
It was great . Some minutes passed and i met another friend. Talking relaxing and beeing.
Another non lucid dream followed.
I dont care about this one right here right now.
I am not able to show in english how presize this dream has been.
It was incredible.
So much detail and such a long state of beeing lucid over more than one dream.
An awesome experience for me.
It was some kind oft mixture of WILD and DILD.
Cause i got this "hallucinations" fore 1 hour in the sleep paralysis state and woke up after them feeling like i slept but thinking that i was awake.
Then the lucid dream chain started and ihave been lucid for quite a long time experiencing many new things of lucidity.
Thats all i got to say about it.
If somebody got quite similiar chain dreamings please let me know and tell me what you have experienced.
KEEP on DREAMING!
Blessings Chris

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING

23:00

The Jaguar from the Shadows
There’s a legendary monster terrorizing people. It is a large muscled black panther or jaguar that moves in the dark and in the shadows. Old legends tell that an army of samurai fought this monster and sent him away from this world, but he is back from the dark place where it was exiled for centuries. He attacks a city and kills every being who gets in his way. I have a brief contact with the beast, when our shadows cross and I feel like I’m being slashed by his claws. I realize on that moment that I might get a chance to win a fight with him, if only I stay away from his shadow or keep my shadow away from him. I find an axe and by trying to stay under direct light, making no shadow, I fight him but I only cause him minor injuries. After a tiring confrontation, the jaguar disappears as a dark smoke to unknown place. Later I am working on an underground lab with a team, on ways to fight this beast. Some cocky guy comes in offering his help, but because I didn’t like his attitude I sent him away and get back to work. He comes back later, with a different body, a bit looked like Matthew McConaughey. At first I don't recognize him but once he starts talking I realize it's the same guy. I wonder who he is and why he is being so persistent, so I let him stay this time. I was interviewing a bunch of guys anyway, to join the team, so I decide to give him a try. I send him down to the lower level, where some colleagues are running some experiment which demanded opening a tunnel to an underground system we think might be the hidden den of the beast. I tell him the door is jammed and I want him to go help close it. By then we were not so worried, because it was not expected to be dangerous as we had a good surveillance system and the tunnels were apparently safe at the moment. But once he gets there, they are surprised by the sudden invasion of the black panther, coming again as a black smoke and materializing once inside the premises. I hear the screams and see a distress signal blinking, so I go check it out. When I get down there it’s all damn quiet, lights flickering, I realize something got wrong. I hide and I see the jaguar passing by, accompanied by a sorcerer. I don’t know this lower level so well, but I find some abandoned room where I hide. Inside it I find an old crazy lady who apparently sleeps there. I first feel I should get out of there because she might start talking and giving our location away, but instead she makes a sign to take cover and she saves me, by hiding me when the sorcerer comes by. She shoos the sorcerer away by pretending to be both obnoxious and harmless. Then the guy who changes bodies comes by and takes me out of there. I thank the lady.

1:00

Snoring guy
I think I wake up because someone is snoring really loud by my side. I wake up in a bed with some guy by my side. I am confused. Did I go to bed with some guy and don’t recall it? I try to see his face, but I’m scared of what I’ll find out. I finally see his face and I have no idea who he is. But we happen to be sharing a bed in a unfamiliar room to me. I feel tired so I just want to sleep and forget about it. I put my earplugs I find over the bedside table, but somehow it is not making any difference. I still hear the snoring and I can’t rest. I push the guy and wake him up. He says “What!?” and I complain he is snoring (let alone “who the fuck are you?”). He says it is not him and in fact I still hear snoring although he is awake. He shows me a guy sleeping on the floor, it is my friend Belchior and he is the one snoring. He says he came in late night, had no place to sleep and asked if he could crash in the dorm. Oh, so it’s a dorm. Belchior also wakes up, we say hi and he says he is sorry for dropping by like that, but he brought along a TV that we can use (and he points to the TV) as a compensation. This is getting boring so I then really wake up and realize it is my BF who is snoring out loud by my side on the bed.

3:00

New Zealand, Nepal, Japan and bullies
Falling asleep I got stuck on some hypnagogic imagery of giant waves hitting some scarps followed by a large group of mountains covered in green grass. I have a certainty that it is in New Zealand. I get into a dream from here. I am climbing those scarps, for sports I guess, but soon the waves are getting higher and higher and me and other people are really running up the scarps to escape them. We reach some small plateau where we find some nice hostel. By then we are in Nepal. I see prayer flags hanging near the front door. We are tired and hungry and we go inside. We find the place lovely. I start taking pictures, but some lady guests there don’t want to be on the picture and they complain, so I have to stop. I sit outside in a terrace with my climber friends. We are eating boiled eggs. There’s a girl in the group who is very pretty and she is blind. The waiter who is serving us is mentally challenged and I guess he feels empathy with this girl because of her disability and he digs her completely. So much that he is only serving her and obsessively asking if she wants something else. There are other costumers waiting to be served and he is ignoring them. We find it cute and amusing, but the girl is totally pissed off. She wants him to leave her alone. He only goes away when his boss scolds him from behind the counter. The girl then leaves and we accompany her to a place nearby where she is going to meet her actual BF. We think he is a bit of a jerk, but she seems to like him. The streets we walk are clearly in some Eastern country, like China or Japan. Once we leave her with her BF we come back to our table, but we still catch a glimpse of them making out inside the shop or studio where he works.
Back on my sit, I’m carefully taking the shell of an egg and I put it on the plate for a second to look to the side because of something we’re talking about. A group of people is passing by the side of our table and some bully takes my egg and eats it. I feel irritated with his attitude and I get up to confront him. He looks oriental and he is brown belt in karate or something similar. He is not a big guy and somehow I don’t feel so intimidated, but I’m aware he might be able to kick my ass quite a bit. Also there are other bigger guys in the group who are also martial arts practitioners – they are wearing their uniforms. I don’t care, I stand for justice. I tell him what he did was really wrong and ask him to say he’s sorry. Of course he is not and he couldn’t care less about my feelings. Then I get a blow in the head and when i get to turn I see the taller guy trying to play cool, like he didn’t do anything. This really annoys me. I call them cowards and childish and I get ready to fight them, but they don’t seem to want to fight me, just bully me. I give up and I tell “I just want to tell you to drop dead, but because I’m much more civilized than that, I instead wish you all the best for your life and have a good day!”. And I really felt it, from the bottom of my heart. There were some ladies accompanying them and they smiled very impressed that I had been classy and mocked them for having been taught a lesson of good manners.

Whalers
I become half-lucid and as I turn my back on them I face a park. It has a beautiful hedged garden and I try to fly over it, but it doesn’t work. So I walk up a hill by the side of the garden. On top of the hill I watch night falling and a sea bay with boats floating. The sea is getting very revolted and the boats are being violently shaken. I am then on the quay where other people are to, watching the boats in the storm. I ask if they’ll be ok and I’m told they are used to it and are not in distress. Actually they tell me they are working right now. They are whalers and are catching whales on the bay right now. I then see it, they are trapping and killing some small species of whales. I don’t want to see it, so I run from this bay, but find myself inside a building from which I can’t get out, with a large panoramic window over the bay. They are slaughtering the whales and I scream “Murderers!!!”. Two ladies who are tourists there and are also not enjoying the “show”, look at me like saying “well, it’s their custom, we can’t judge them”. I realise they wouldn’t understand my point. I’m vegetarian and I suffer with the killing of any animal, but in my own country people slaughter millions of animals and I don’t go around the streets calling them murderers, so why should I do it here? I decide to just leave after saying some prayers for the whales. But then I’m told the only way out is to go through two boats stopped on the quay. My friends from the hostel are also around and also want to get out of there, so we all go over the deck of the boats. But when we’re on the second one, it starts moving. We freak out, afraid it might go whaling and takes along. That would be too much! My friends turn to me “Now what!?” I don’t know, so I wake up.

5:40

Comet or asteroid
There’s something in the sky heading towards Earth, like a comet or an asteroid. It’s clearly visible in the sky and people are feeling desperate. I get the clear feeling “I’m going to die soon” and although it doesn’t totally freak me out, I still feel a bit uncomfortable with the idea. I’m with my BF looking at it and he asks me “Didn’t you had some friends or knew someone who knew about this? Don’t they have a plan? Can’t you talk to them? Aren’t some aliens coming to save us?” I find it funny that all of sudden all the conspiracy theories are no longer looking silly to him. But I tell him no, there is no one to save us and no plan B. We have to accept it. I feel at peace. Then, on that very moment, the asteroid or comet makes an abrupt 45º change in course, drawing a V in the sky and moving away from our planet, like it had bounced on something.

6:30

Save the children
... Passing by some kindergarten. Stop to look at a shelf full of figurines. I like particularly two dolls, of a male and female twins. Then the real versions of the figurines appear behind me and ask me if I’m enjoying the dolls. I ask if those are doll versions of themselves and they confirm, amused. They have a bunch of them.
... I am half-lucid and for some reason I get involved in a fight. Some guys with pitchforks and clubs come inside this building and I am trying to protect the people there, specially the kids, so I fight for them. I get some improvised weapons made of strong sticking out wires. I mostly knock them out and get their weapons, but try not to kill anyone. In the end only a lady is left standing and she wants the kids to commit suicide. Because they ignore her, she threatens to kill them. Of course I won’t let that happen. I never understood what this was about.

First encounter with my Dream Guide
I am now fully lucid. I go outside by climbing some stairs to a door, through which the attackers came inside. I decide to call my Dream Guide again, hoping to be more successful this time. I rise up in the air, hoping that in the sky I won’t be bothered by DCs, but two guys come after me, one flying and the other becoming gigantic to reach me. They nail me down on the floor, but I decide I won’t fight or get distracted. I keep focused on my goal. They hold me down but I look into the blue and white clouded sky and I make an appeal to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to designate a dream guide for me! Then a beautiful girl comes in my rescue, riding some kind of hover-bike. She is Japanese-looking, dressed in a white leather-like biker outfit with some red stripes in the front. She has a cute round face and a cute short white hair. She gets out from her sky-bike and picks the guys up as if they were feathers and throws them far away until they simply vanish in the distance. When she does this, red stripes of hair appear in her head and her outfit turns into red with white stripes in the front, so the opposite of before. It’s like her wrathful version coming out. I thank her and I ask for her name but she makes a sign like she wants me to shut up and not ask any questions. She never said a word. She just picked me up and took me across the dream as if it was just an hologram. She leaves me inside some place, like some cruise spaceship. It is definitely Japanese populated. I see japanese kids gathered in some kind of dinner to my left, then some tofu restaurant to my right and I keep walking through this deck-like place and I find a weird sado-maso role playing place that is becoming quite oppressive and unpleasant. I wonder why my DG took me here and why did she disappear so quickly. What did she mean? The dream is closing in, I feel uncomfortable. So I remember the ease with which she pulled me through a dream to another without the need for walls, portals, whatever. Then I thought maybe what she was trying to tell me was to stop being addicted to artifices: I have been able to get out of dreams just by wanting, so what's keeping me from doing it all the time. "Just get out!" So I did! I crossed this dream as if it was just an hologram hovering in front of me.

7:30

Monday the 31st of January 2011
So tonight i had my first real lucid experience today and i must admit.. It fucked up (but in a cool way)

So this is what happned:
I woke up (in the dream) to go upstairs to get some water. I walk outta my room and i see a bottle lying on the floor so i decide to pick it up and put it in the frigde in our little bar. As i turn around my granma stands like.. a few cm from my head and that scared the shit out of me! After that she was just standing there laughing like a maniac.. i thought by myself ''i must be dreaming'' and did a reality check - i went lucid:

My heart was still pumping really fast after the chock but i calmed myself down as much as i could. I tryed to pull myself together and i startet to look on my hands that was blurry.. It was really hard to stabalize it since my grandma really annoyed me / creep me out. Meanwhile i was looking on my blurry hands my grandma sat in the middle of the room on a bench. I couldnt stabalize it was it went clear for me but i decided to sit infront on my grandma as soon as she calmed down from her maniac laughter that still was there. I was talking to her about something but i dont remember what it was about. I think it was something about me moving away from home and what i should do.


After that i woke up and was like ''WTF did i just have a LD?'' and startet to write in my dream journal

Wake up > drink of water > sleep paralysis > enter lucid dream.

So I spawn into some party - perfect. I spend a while just walking about the house trying to work it where I am but I cant recognize it and have no recollection of ever being here before. After a while I try to have some fun, I start to levitate things and soon
a crowd gathers round to watch me and then I start to levitate people. Soon I get bored of this and my eye turns to the window and when i turn back the crowd are gone apart from one or two people. I open the window and stand up on the ledge and look down at the grass below but before I jump out to fly I stop because it all seems too real. I jump down from the ledge and do the finger throught palm check but i'm worried after a few seconds because it doesn't go right through but seconds later it goes through and i run and jump straight out of the window. The rush is unbelievable as i fall through the air but soon I hit the ground and realise I couldn't fly. The ground is wet and i'm still absolutely stunned at how real everything feels and unfortunately the pain of falling from so high still feels real. So I'm lying down after my failed flight feeling like Icarus when I look up at the house I just jumped from and realised all the lights are off so I dont go back in, instead I decide to go to the house next door. As I go to open the door to the next house I see my real next door neighbour at the door and wake up. Hmm...

This was surprisingly vivid and seemed to last around 15-20 minutes. I am improving..
